and Of government the most orderly that the
mind Of man can conceive, during its long
tenure produced in practice something very
like anarchy. In medieval life every man
had his fixed place In the social scheme
just as In the eommunstie or socialistie the
ory. It WAS intended 10 be a pyramidal ar
rsngement. The trouble was that people do
40; like TO be told their ~plaee," and were
entirely indisposed TO stay put. The bricks
Of the pyramid were all alive, and all striv-
ing toward the apex. What measure Of de-
motraey the world enjoys to-day is In part

At democracy or liberty as we read those
words. y at they wanted was power, to do
as they u, Ight right and 70 compel other
folk to do Likewise.
The idea of tolerance was almost unknown
TO them. Catherine herself was about the
most tolerant Of the lott
IT Is the ironie truth that Catherine desired
nothing but peace end quiet and, Of course,
the security Of her dynasty. The first ten
years Of regency she spent in an ineessant
effort to compose The quarrels Of those
around her-of Grses with MOntmorencies;
Of chureh and State, Parlement and mobiles;
OF her own children with one another, and,
above all, Of Catholic, and Huguenots.
Catherine was pioN- enough, but she GER
tainly was no religious fanatic. Indeed it
seems altogether possible that she might
have gone Huguenot II ihas party had been
a little. q very little, stronger And espe-
cially II the leader Of IL imiral Coligny
had not forgotten what loving mother she
was. Had these things been otherwise the
Huguenots might have become the Galliean

their hands like PLATE. And she had not,
like them. prepared her excuses beforehand.
She had not time. Nor had she any kind

had no party. All her power had been gained
BY the fact that she had no party. and so
was the balance wheel, the dead center; but
tur infamy was insured by the same eireum-
stance.
How little religious. how purely political.
