him and he was executed at the prema.
ture age of twenty-five.
His death plunged Marion into grief.
But soon she reappeared in that half
world just below the court. Her salon
became one of the centers of Partisan
life. She had a succession of lovers
even including Richelieu, it was said
But each time misfortune attended her
Then came the death of the cardinal

And not long afterward a civil struggle
began which was known as the FrOnde,
Many of the leaders were reputed to
gather at the house of Marion. That
meant more misfortune. MaZarin sent
to have her arrested. But suddenly she
died and the cardinal was frustrated.
Now that Is the story which history
tells about Marion Delorme. But there
is another and Ear stranger story
which has many Indications of truth.
According to this account she did not
die at the dramatic moment history
records, but dead woman resembling
her was laid out for public inspection
and duly buried. Then, the story runs,
Marion resumed her career in other
lands, finally returning to Paris for
an old age spent in misery. One &C.

dying at the age Of ninety-three after
living through one of the most event.

If these stories be true, what strange
thoughts must have been those OF

upon the time of her youth when she

THE TRUE" LOVE OF LOUIS XIV.

NHEN rumor linked the name of
w Louis NV with Henrietta, the
newly welded wife Of his brother,
the king cast about for a means of
continuing his attentions to her,
which would at the same time silence
the voice of criticism. Historians of
his day assert that he and his sister
in-law decided Louis should feign an
affection for her maid of honor, which
would enable him often to be near
the real object of his regard.
This maid of honor was a slender
girl of sweet face and fine blood. Con
trary to the usual conception of the
vampire, she was a blond, with milk
white skin, and almost childish ways.
But the heart of Louise de LII Nalliere
was that of Il woman, and the king
soon found that the tender things he
whispered in her ear came from his
own heart. He turned from Henrietta,
whom he had loved for the moment
to 4 burning passion for Louise. This
was said to have been the only genu-
inc love Of ia Grande Monarque."
Maria Theresa, royal daughter Of
Spain and the Queen of Louis, was in
furtated at Louise. But the plans of
the queen and other enemies of the
kings favorite did not prevail In
stead the kings passion grew deeper
When Fouquet, his great minister,
joined the enemies of the girl, Louis
brought about his downfall and thrust
him into prison. That was an object

First Practical Reaper.

Cyrus II. Mccormick made the first
successful reaper. He built it as a
boy without his fathers knowing it
and tried 1t out one fall 1t was not
entirely success, but he made some
changes and tried 1t again. Finally
in 1881 he made his first successful
reaper, says Farm and Fireside. He
kept on making improvements and
in 1884 had machine good enough
to patent. He offered them for sale
for $50 apiece, but no one would
buy. Finally in 1889 he invited a
lot of farmers to see it work. 1t
cut two acres an hour. That was
really wonderful in those days, but
still no one would buy 1t. The next
year, 1910, man at Egypt, Va,
bought the first machine and paid $50
for it. 1t worked, and faith in the
new invention began to spread.

MRS. BOWSER'S

Dinner was ready at the usual hour,
but Mr.. Bowser had not appeared.
Mrs. BOwser waited three minutes,
and then began to worry.
Why didn't Mr.. Bowser come?
Had he gone on fishing excursion
and been wrecked, and perhaps been
cast on a lone island, miles and miles
at sea? He might have gone up in
flying machine and taken & drop. He
might have gone out into the country
to buy piece of land to raise grass
hoppers.
Half-past six, and no Mr. Bowser!
Mrs. Bowser put on her hat and
walked up to the car line. She stood
on the corner for quarter of an hour,
and no Mr.. BOwSer. She returned to
the house to telephone, but who could
she telephone to? Who kept track and
trace of Mr.. BOwser?
The cook came up to console her,
and she did it by saying:
do not worry Mrs. BOwser. If Mr..
BOwser has fallen off the roof of
building and been smashed all to jelly,
that's the end of him, and you can't
help him any by worrying. He may
have climbed tree and is afraid to
come down."
Mrs BOWser was moving toward the
telephone, when it began to ring. She
answered very quickly.

brought wonderfully beautiful
Italian girl to England, toward the
close of the Seventeenth century. But
no one who saw this ivorysknned,
dark-eyed beauty, would have thought
that she was to plunge England into

James was bad king, and what is
perhaps worse, he was a weak king.

his wife, Mary of Modena, urged that
he flee. James heSitated, and he pres

Orange taking his place. Immediately
James followers banded together in

the early settlers found in this terri

but the actual meaning Of the word is
not known. 1t probably has some re-

been much confusion as to the correct
pronunciation of Arkansas. To re-
move this as far as possible resou
ton was passed by the state senate in
1881 which specified that the true pro-
nunciation was "Ar-kan-Saw," In fact
it was formerly spelled 50, and there
has been considerable agitation to
make this the correct spelling. 1t is
sometimes called the Bear State.

Ing which by secret treaty it was ced-

rule, until purchased by the United
States in 1903. For nearly ten years
after this, it was a part of Louisiana
territory. With the admission of the
State Of Louisiana in 1912 this north
ern section was formed into the Mis-
souri, territory. In 1919 there was an
other partition and Arkansas territory
was created, which included the pres
emf state and what later was called
Indian territory.
Due to the reports of an early ex-
plOrer named Pike, who visited this
region in 1906, the incorrect idea was

conditions in Arkansas quite other
