CHAPTER V.
Marie Dupont.

Life was as Respondent as Hilary ger Leblanc's treachery. Hilary nad only one cause for satisfaction in the situation, and that was a purely personal one. He was glad that Le- eahes cancellation of the contract had ielt the Chateau grounds immune, and so had neutralized Brousseau's first move in the campaign.
 What galled him was the reflection mat in this fight which Brousseau had thrust upon him he was fighting naaelelne too. He shrank from the thought of Madeleine Rosny as Brous- Seaus wife; he tried to think of her as sacrificing herself for her fathers sake. But this picture would not hold 'osether; she was most evidently ac- quainted with Brousseau's designs, and approved of them.

 something newY' asked Hillary.
 There's talk of strike" said Lafe III disgust. "Brousseau has had his alen @ at work among 'em, and they're sssihg that you're keeping wages ao~n, and that Brousseau would give 'eD dollars day if you would" eh?v s -A'o ' S''f,i It's just one way of hitting us.

 She was staring at him in greater distress. He hardly knew whether she understood.
 "If Monsieur Brousseau-" she be- gan, half-choking.
 Forgive me, mademoiselle, but does he mean so much to you as thatY
 She started and twitched the rein away. "You are insolent !" she cried. "How dare you question me or lay down the law to me? No, I have heard enough. Stay, then, Monsieur Askew, and cut down tie trees that you have bought, and sell them; but do not presume to speak to me any more!"
 She touched her horse with her spur, and the beast bounded away, al- most flinging Hilary to the ground Her face was flaming; yet, as she rode, Hilary could hear her sobbing again.
 the cause of her distress. He re- called Lafe's words to himself on the night of their first meeting. Brous- seau's grasping hand was stretched forth not only on the seigniory but on it's heiress-and he vowed that the battle between them should be fought out on this ground also.

lars worth of lumber, Mademoiselle Rosny. As for Monsieur Brousseau, the trouble is of his own seeking"
 "You went upon Monsieur Brous- seau's land and quarreled with one of his workmen, and you ill-treated him shamefully, just because you are big and strong, and not afraid of a weaker man. And you and your hired men-our men who serve you-haye taken Monsieur Brousseaus lumber and you are going to sell 1t as your own. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you outlaw!"
 You're altogether wrong Mademoi- selle Rosny," answered Hilary quiet ly. "The quarrels were none of them of my seeking. Monsieur Brousseau who is quite capable of taking care of himself, lays claim to land and lum- Der which is not his. I suggest, mademoiselle, that you have not shown sufficient cause for your hos tility.
 "I have done you no wrong," urged Hilary. q have come here to take charge of a legacy which my uncle left me. It is all have in the world. It has been my hope to make the task successful and, in succeeding, to con slider my neighbors and help my en- ployees. Is not this a case for our working amicably together, as you suggested in the case of Monsieur Brousseau? Come, Mademoiselle Ros- ny, let us forget our quarrel and be friends"
 She did not take the hand that he extended, but she looked at him in wonder.
 "You spoke of my goodwill" she said presently, with touch of mock cry. "What is that to you? Surely my fathers feeling toward you, which is mine, can have no power to help or injure you?"
 'It means much to me, your good will, Mademoiselle Rosny," said Hilary.
 She leaned forward in her saddle. Monsieur Askew," she said, 'listen to me. If you value my goodwill you shall have it on one condition"
 "On any condition"
 "That you leave St. Boniface."
 Except that" said Hilary.
 Tt is not that I grudge you your possession" resumed the girl hurried ly. Believe me, I am not thinking of that. As you said, the money was paid, and the rights are yours. But this is no place for you monsieur. l could esteem you and-and give you my goodwill if you said I have made a mistake,' and went. Why do you stay here, to stir up trouble and agi- tate us all? What is it you want, that you will not take the value of your trees from Monsieur B~ousseau and go?"
 q have a natural objection to being driven out of my own property" said Hilary.
 Tt should never have been yours. Monsieur Brousseau wanted it, but my father"
 She broke off in agitation. Hilary laid his hand lightly upon the rein, near her own.
 .sMademoiselle Rosny," he urged, conscious that he was as agitated as she, T want to ask you something. do not want you to go to Ste. Marie. I said I wanted to haln vcn. Perhapsl

Sea-lsland Cotton.

Practically all of the sea-island cot ton is produced in the states of Geor- gia, Florida and South Carolina, the finest coming from the chain of isl- ands off the Carolina coast. It is well named sea-island cotton, as when grown away from the coast the fiber rapidly degenerates into upland cot ton unless seed grown in the isl- ands is obtained for planting success sive crops.

 BAD BILLS IN
 DULAND'S ROOM
Continued from Page one.)

Duland was arraigned in the City court this morning, charged with as- sault with intent to kill. He was bound over to the Superior Court and bonds were fixed at $10,000. This sum is thought to be sufficiently high for holding the alleged countrfeiter. After the state concludes it's prosecu- ton of the case. Duland will then face a government charge of attempting to pass counterfeit money. It appears at the present time as if Duland were in for a, considerable sojourn in jail.
 It was brought out this morning that Sergeant Joseph P. Coughlin, of the local police force was mainly re- sposible for the apprehsion of Duland. The sergeant was in the Star lunch room in State street yesterday after noon, when the clerk from Fines Mems Shop entered the store and re- duested the proprietor to change the bill which Duland had given him in payment for some underwear. The of the money, and told the lunch room man to examine it. The discov- cry was then made that the bill was counterfeit. The chase after Duland, his arrest and the shooting of Officer Halpin followed It is understood that both Sergeant Coughlin and Traffic Officer Halpin will be officially com mended at Monday nights meeting o1 | the police commissioners.

EMPIRE.

Tn 'HThe Heart of a Child, a, special production adapted from Frank Danby's novel of the same name, Nazimova comes to the screen of the Empire theatre Sunday in role that is different from any of the wide va riety of characters she has portrayed so marvelously in previous triumphs-
 It is that of Sally Shape, an Eng fish girl from the sTum streets of Lon don who finds herself orphaned at the most critical period of her life, and left to face alone, without any other aid than her unsophstication, the struggle of maintaining the worlds respect.
 In her sapport is an exceptionally able cast, with Charles Bryant adapted of the novel to the screen, as Lord Kidderminster, Ray Thompson, Neil Newman, Victor Potel, Eugene Klum, Claire DuBrey, Jane Sterling John Stepping.

MONSTER MASS
 MEETING MAY .15

The Amalgamated Metal Workers
 of America are holding a mass meet
 ing Saturday the fifteenth at the Ar
 mory. It is expected that all men and women in the machine industry will be there. Some of the questions
 that will be placed upon the table for discussion will be: Do you want
 to cut the high cost of living?" Do you want a five cent trolley fare?' Are you in favor of the $1.25 an hour movement which means pracd- cally are you willing to strike for this
 movement
 It is expected this coming June
 a strike will be called by these work
 CTS according to Samuel Lavit's state
 ment and that the laying off of three thousand metal workers in the last three weeks is an attempt of the
 manufacturers to prevent this coming

German Delegates May Not Attend
 Spa Conference

(Contfnued From Page One.) nnent of the conference but the ques- ton was raised informally by Dr. Mayer, the German charge during his conversation with Premier Miller and on Thursday. The charge inti- mated that such a request might be made.
 It is pointed out in official circles that if the Spa meeting should be held up pending the result of the German elections a delay of several months might ensue, the belief being advanc- ed that if a postponement were al' lowed now the Germans would not only want to await until after the Reischstag elections on June 10 but until date subsequent to the presi- dential elections weeks or months later.
 On the theory advanced here is that the Berlin government was disap- poited at the result of the San Remc conference and that it prefers to SC into the election campaign without having previously risked the result of the Spa coferece which might rot the German people of all illusion as tc the revision of the treaty of Yer sairles, and cause dissatisfaction with the government.

White Collar Men

Baltimore, May S.---The new poor" have invaded the pawnshops here. !Ehe workingman who in other years pawned his watch for funds to buy medicine for a sick wife and child, has been supplanted by the salaried and professional man.
 Practically from the beginning of the World War in 1914, when the trend toward higher wages became
 manifest, the class of trade which frequented the pawnShopS began to
 change Almost every panwn5broker in Baltimore asserts the people prev1- ously known as poor have required less assistance since that period The worIingunan is the rara avis in the shop of three gold balls, while the l white collar class borrows more and more as the cost of Ewing becomes l increasingly bardenSome-

TRYING TO MAKE
 THRIFT Al FAD
woF1man 6 Co.o

It is all very well to dismiss inc overall movement as a fad and to scon at the "oLd clothes'' clubs but these protests against the high cost of living may well be taken seriously. They show that thrift is about to be rtcn women, for that matter-are not buying as much as they have been in a habit of buying. They may not be numerous enough to have much effect upon the market when one considers the millions of af1uent manual workers and shop girls who pay prices that would make the wealthy gasp.
 The main feature is the force of example. No one supposes that 8 shipyard worker buys a $20 silk shirt because he thinks it is better than one made of cotton. He wants it because he sees others higher in the social scale wearing them, and, as he has the money, he demands '-the best" The same principle ap- plies to the purchases made by the young women drawing twice the sal l aries they received a. few years ago. But the rich who set the example | of extraVaganve, which they might l have felt they could afford, are now turning to economy. They may not
 
 | their old clothes do service for an- | other season. They are getting their shoes ha1f-soIed; they are having 1 their old hats cleaned and furnished with fresh bands. They are wearing 1 soft collars to save laundry bills and 1 also to save collars. They are tell | ing their friends about it and their
 friends are telling others The econ orny movement will not take long to permeate all ranks of society.
 Economy in this way can become 1 8 popular craze. It will have behind l it an emotional impulse that is much 1 stronger than argument or reason. A seedy suit will be a badge of good citizenship, and a battered hat no | longer will be a sign of poverty, | Fashion can do much more than all the sermons on thrift that could be | written. The effect will be felt in l short order.

ROBESPIERRE.

On May ', in 1794, Robespierre appeared before the French Conven- ton as the Champion of the Supreme Being.
 Maxinilien Marie Isdore Robes pierre was born in 1759. In the fur ious ebb and flow of the French Revolution his name stands out with singular clearness.
 In 17S9, the BastiFle, the monstrous State prison of France, was stormed and taken. In October of that year about 40 gentlemen. and men of let ters met in the hall of the JacoIbin friars to discuss political and other questions, and thus originated the name "Jaco;bin'' (party), a name that stood for the extreme revolutionists. Jacobin clubs sprang up in all parts of France. Nearly every town had it's secret Jacobin club. The Repub- ican leaders were derisively called f'SanscuEottes," from their careless ness in dress. Later on, down the stormy tide of the red Terror the name was regarded with pride.
 Poverty came to power. Naketi- ness was the badge of brotherhood. To have nothing, the road to save your neck from the guillotine.
 The Jacobins, who rapidly increas- ed in number, in Paris, dominated the State and were led by Isobis pierre. The F'euf1lants (Moderate Monarchists) who had withdrawn from the Jacobins, were led by La fayette and Bailly.
 In 1790 the new nonarchial dem- ocratic convention was adopted, the weak, fat, king, Louis XVI, taking the oath to maintain the new con- stitution. The convention abolished the monastic establishments, and con- | fiscated their lands. In 1791, the | churches plate was sent to the mint | for coinage. In the same year the l Pope was burnt in effgy in Paris | In 1792, the greatest song of rev. l o1ution against entrenched despotisru ever sung, foared into time; the 1 MarseiIIaise, composed and sung and notated in one glowing hour in old | Strasburg by Roget de PIsle It swept through France like a cyclone. 1 Through the massacres; through 1 the rivers of blood; through the frightfuI whir daily and all day of the guiHotine; the Reign of Terror was inaugurated in 1793. The Com mittee of Public Safety dictated the government. Robespierre became the head of the State. The National convention was in session.
 On November 10th of that year the Festival of Reason was inaugurated The Goddess of Reason (from the 1 Opera House) was lifted to the high altar of Notre Dame. Danton was overthrown by Robespierre and gull lotined.
 On May ', 1794, Robespierre stbol- ished the worship of reason, caused the convention to pass :a resolution acknowledging the existence of a Supreme Being. Robespierre made | an eloquent speech, and concluded by declaring the real temple Of the
 Supreme Being to be the universe. l A solemn festival was inaugurateti called .sFete de FEtre Supreme ''
 which the celebrated painter, David. | arranged.

 Kiev, in addition to it's importance to the Ukraine as it's chief city, has also been looked upon from the en- tente side as a valuable outpost at stragetic point against the advance in central Europe, along the extended line stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
 Warsaw, May 6-(By The A. P.). (delayed) marines and Chi nese troops have been brought up by the Bolsheviki for the defense of | Kiev, according to the latest reports received here from the front.

The reinforce | ments sent in by the Bolshevilxi, it is stated, also include Bolsheviki Let 1 tish troops, some of whom were cap | tured by the Poles.
