never have discovered otherwise.
And during this dinner, Flambeau

1t was well that they planned to
leave Vienna % promptly, for
next day the new revolution be-

people tramped the streets, and
harangued in the public square.
the military were called out, and
1t was forbidden to take photo
graphs: otherwise Flambeau would
have snapped" It all for The
Times. However, the serious part
was that prices suddenly doubled
for everything. the shops closed
all their shutters, though in many
cases they left their doors open.
and at the banks absolutely no
money was to be obtained.
In a previous similar riot in
the city. many plate-glass win
dows had been broken. and the
Viennese shopkeepers had not for.
gotten that experience. A day or
two later the mob was again de-
stroying property, just after Flam-
beau's departure.
The citizens seemed to take it
philosophically. to judge from the
manner in which they continued
their usual duties. the street cars
running. the service at the hotels

at the painting. and then suddenly
he killed himself. He had been
married only a few weeks, and

candles must have meant an enor'

many cannot afford them except
under such tragic circumstances
as these, and in some cases

half.burned candles: they had been
blown out to save the second half
for some other occasion Of need.
L'AIGLON'S RESTING PLACE.
The capuqhin Church has the
famous chapel Of the Haps-

to which Mr.. Flambeau and
Mr.. Houben were admitted by
