Hard as the conditions imposed On

unutterable to future generations. Aft

Says Lord Rosebery: "It is strange
indeed to observe how heartily, as If
by a foreboding, he hates Prussia"
Not strange at all, for his keen mind
In the retirement Of st. Helena saw
even more clearly than at Tilsit the
danger to the world Of Prussianism
under the lead of the robber bsrons
of ZoRern.
Prussia Immediately after the treaty
of Tilsit began to circumvent the con.
ditions with regard to her army by
instituting short terms of enlistment
so arranged as to amount to universal
military service, and to prepare the
way for her future ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

war against her. If Sweden objected
he was to send an army into that
country.

The fan Of R~obespierre In 1904 in
PRODUCED q more moderate and con-
clliatory spirit into the councils Of re-

time the victorious campaigns Of the
French armies cooled the ardor with

OF bringing such a ruinous war to an
end. At a diet Of the empire 1t was
declared that Germany had no .inten-
ton Of interfering with the domestic
affairs Of France and negotiations
looking to a satisfactory peace should
be begun. Before this France had,
since the revolution and the execution
of the king, been an outlaw among Eu-
ropean nations. In Italy the grand
duke Of Tuscany was already negotiat-
Ing with France for a peace, being the
first of the European rulers to recog-
nize the French republic. Austria and
England, however, declared that the
war must 60 on. But Austria had al
most ceased fighting and the emperor
retired to Vienna in Encouragement.
The republican armies held Belgium
and the left bank of the Rhine and had
even made conQuests beyond that

The treaty Of Tilsit signalized the
defeat Of the fourth coalition against
France, which consisted of Russia,
Prussia, Austria, England and Swe-
den. Napoleon had won the battles OF
JENA, Auerstadt. Eylau and Friedland;
all. continental Europe was ut his feet;
he dictated the terms of peace. The
Russian army had been thrown back
over the river Niemen in the northeast
corner Of Prussia. Napoleon went to
the town of Tilsit on that river and
opened negotiations with Emperor
Alexander. The king of Prussia. whose
domains were entirely in the grasp of
the conqueror, came to Tusit but was
allowed no part in the negotiations.
In a stately pavilion erected on a
gorgeously decorated raft anchored in
the middle OF the river Alexander and
Napoleon met on June rs and began

cussed the fate Of Prussia. Frederick
William begged the Ear to make the
best terms he could for him.
What His Reason Disapproved.
Napoleon said to Alexander: "What-
ever 1 grant to Prussia I grant at your
intercession," adding that in that mat
ter his "heart caused him to seal what
his reason disapproved."
The best terms Gar Alexander
could get for his friend the Prussian
King. were these: All the lands that
Prussia had stolen in the partition of
Poland in 1893 and 1905 were taken
from her and erected into the Grand
Duchy OF Warsaw. an independent
Polish state. Prussia coded to Napo-
leon oil her territory west of the
Elbe, most Of which was added to the
new kingdom Of Westphalla, which was
constructed for Napofeon's brother.

Standing on Jim Conley's front
porch a little after sunrise, Barnes
made the following declaration:

vent or to enact a crime. The latter IL

"What's that?" came a rich, mellow
voice from the outskirts of the crowd.

confronted Barnes. He was a tall,
g%ood-looklng fellow Of thirty-fve, and
it was apparent that he had dressed in
haste. my name is O'Dowd, and I am
a guest of Mr.. Curtis at Green Fancy.

"But who shot the man?" demanded
the Irishman. "He certainly wasn't

soul at Green. Fancy who could shoot
a thief if he saw one. This is Mr.. De
Soto, also a guest at Green Fancy. He
will, I think, bear me out In upsetting
your theory"
A second man approached, shaking
his head vigorously. He was a thin,
pale man with a singularly scholastic
face. Quite an unprepossessing, un-
sanguinary person. thought Barnes.
"Mr. Curtis chauffeur, 1 think it
was, said the killing occurred just

cited. Screen Fancy is at least a mile
