was the political persuasion OF the
.populace during the four years that
followed. Luxembourg seems to have
been favored at the hands of the HUI
that Is, so far as Hun hands ever
favored anybody but the Hun. There
was little Of the CONSUMPTION of food
stuffs and farming materials as. prac-
ticed In Belgium and France. Luxem-
burg was preserved as a market In
which the rich folk of the kaiser's en-
pire might purchase the delicacies that
war regulation had deprived them OF

However gently the willy Hun may
have treated Luxembourg on his first
trip into France, pro-Germanlsm is an
unpopular vice In this county just now.
Nobody loves a loser. Hence the grand
duchess, who had become engaged to q
German noble during the war, sud-
denly found herself an object of sus-
picion. After a parley with some COM
mittees another throne was vacant. We
don't know how long the Princess
Charlotte remained In possession, but
she stepped down, too. and the affairs
of state passed into the hands of the
revOlutionists.

Before Heron and Boyle had been five minutes at the wagons the Indians
made another charge, which was repuled with difficulty. Trooper Boyle voun
teered to break through the line under cover of darkness.
Another band of what the soldiers thought to be Indians. dressed in white

Before We could fire, we heard a call in English: Don't fire! To our
delight we recognized Paddy Boyle. The savages had now broken and were
fleeing across the prairie.
""What kind of a uniform do you call thsT 1 asked Paddy.
