manner they succeeded in establish

Icourts, All of the citizens who own

some owning less joined on side of
those who wished the UNEQUAL divi-

father Ochsner, who stood for the
rights Of all the people with the poor

40 acres of land and his share would
have been many times greater had
the wealthy ones won, but he felt
that they were stealing the rights of
the people and that this meant de-
bauchery and ruin to the community.
But none of the others could help in
bearing the legal expenses so he had
to study the laws, appear in court and
write the papers necessary. This
dragged on for many years In the
meantime my father had grown to
be a young man and he did much of
the writing and studied the laws. He
had planned to come to America when
he was q years old, but the suit
dragged on in the supreme court in
Zurich.
His knowledge of the law was so
accurate and his logic so clear that
those on the other side began to feeld
that they might lose although they
had employed the best lawyers in
Zurich. In order to get a considerable

THE QUEEN OF eEw-eAws.

MAYHEM Napoleon returned from It
w ally after the campaign of 1897,
which made him famous, group of
the prettiest women in Paris gathered
around the new conqueror. None of
them were more bewitching than his
own sister, Paulette. When many
women were striving to reach high
station, Paulette had just one mission
fine clothes and gay time.
She turned so many heads that the
account has been lost. Then Napoleon
forced General Leclere to marry her.
The little Paulette continued to be her
same bad self. Leclere failed In a
campaign against Portugal. Napoleon
saw his chance and packed both of
them or TO Santo Domingo, although
Paulette rolled at his feet and tore
her hair.
Leclere died In Santo Domingo, and
back came Paulette to Paris. Napole-
on provided her with husband by
force second time. He was Prince
Camilla Borghese of Rome.
But she and the prince did not get
on well. In Rome Paulette met the
great sculptor Canoya, and posed for
his reclining statue of Venus.
Napoleon had himself proclaimed
emperor and Paulette FASTENED back
to take her place near him. The prince
had become insufferable to her. Ma
poleon kindly sent him off to O dis
tant army command. And Paulettc
threw herself into succession of love
affairs. Generals. actors, musicians,
even valet, were numbered among
her lntimates. This conduct caused
so much talk that she and Napoleon
constantly were at outs. On one oc-
casion he dressed her down with a
cane.
She was said to have originated
the idea of milk baths, and her bath
room became Familiarity known as
"Paulette's dairy" But the tragedy
Of 1914 cut short her gay ways and
she accompanied Napoleon to Elba.
Paulette had one stanch love IN her
life-for Napoleon. When he fled
from Elba in 1915 she insisted that he
take her jewcis, and even sold her
dresses to help raise funds. The jewels
were In Napoleon's carriage at Water
loo. Then he went to Helena. Paulette
| lived until 1925, dying at forty-four.
| When the end came she called for q
mirror, looked at herself, and said,
II am ready to die. am stili beauti-

THE VAMPIRE WITH AN ANGELS
FACE.

1
WHEN Catherine Of Russia sim
wv was servant In an East Prus-
Sian Inn, early In the Eighteenth CEN
fury girl named Marie appeared and
asked for her help. She was blonde
Swede, named Marie, and told pa
fnetic story OF running away with a
young man, who had deserted her when
their child was born. She had no
money, was weak and haggard. Wouie
Catherine take her In?
Catherine sat the girl down to the
best dinner she could find, and watched
her eat. ''You have the face of an
angel" she said, and persuaded her
master to let the girl stay. Then the
Russians captured the town, and Marie
and Catherine fell into the hands Of
officers.
Marie did not fare so well as Cath
crime. But she exchanged an officer
for a prince. 1t may be said here that
Marie's child had not died, for she
murdered 1t. The father, who had be-
come an officer In the cars service,
met her when she was living with the
prince and warned her to spare sec
ond child of which the prince was the
father. But Marie fell into lake with
the child, and when rescued 1t was
dead.
A few years later Marie appeared
In Petrograd. Catherine had become
the czarina, and Marie had powerful
protectors. The two women met, and
knew each other, but 1t Is said that
they never mentioned the days at the
Inn. Instead, Marie set herself to win
the attention of Peter the Great. Fall
Ing In this, she waited for him when
ne was walking In garden, and threw
herself into his arms.
Catherine and Marie, the former
friends, now crossed swords for Pc
ter's affection. Both were beauties,
and writers of that time bear testi-
mony to Marie's angelic" face. But
unfortunately for her that same OFF,
Ger who had warned her, appeared
In Petrograd. And about this time
Marie became the mother of third
child, said to have been that of Peter.
She killed this child and threw 1t into
an old well. A servant told the news
of her deed to the officer, who In turn
passed 1t on to the car.
Peter ordered a great revel held. and
piled Marie with wine until her wits
were not her own. Then he took her
in his arms, before the whole company,
and by the mastery of his will made
her confess her crimes. Peter was
devil incarnate to whom the murder
of d child would have meant little IL
1t had not been his own. He flung
Marie from him, and ordered her exc
cution.
When the headsman had severed
the vampires slended neck, Peter
picked up the head and kissed the
dead lips.
