Victory After Death,

After n year Of trial the Maid Of
Orleans was condemned to death. on
the cath cf Nav 1881. she was led
from prison wearing a long black
gown. 4 guard Of 500 soldiers sur
rounded her to keep off the crowd.
But suddenly there rushed through
their ranks a haggard and misera BILE
figure. II was Nicholas Loyseleur,
who, seized by remorse, had come to
ask forgiveness. But before he
could reach her the soldiers drove
him back. Joan probably neither
saw nor heard him, for she was weep
ing and praying continuously.
She called for a priest, who heard
her confession, then bravely she went
to her death, saying, My voices have
not deceived me"
The French people soon saw that
they had made a terrible mistake.
but IL was too late. In spite Of her
tragic death, however, the marvellous
deeds of Joan of Arc will always keep
her name at the forefront of the
worlds great leaders.

II was while she was pleasantly

travelling from face to face, settled
upon that of man seated almost di-
rectly across from her.
He was in every way the direct op

traCted her attention. His hair was
dark, and his face and hands were
burned 10 a mahogany brown. He
had turned his chair so that Fay
could see his features only in profile.
but what she could see of his face she
liked.
He had q straight mouth and a chin
that was almost stubborn in its
strength As she studied him she
wondered what color his ewes We're
The color Of his hair and skin made
her feel that his eyes would be dark
but when. after a short time, he
turned slightly and glanced at her
idly, she saw that they We're not dark,
but a gray so piercing that she was
startled.
His glance rested on her for only
a moment, and then he turned away
almost abruptly.
Fay was amazed at the feeling Of
discontinue SO strong that it almost
amounted to anger that suddenly
rushed over her. 1t was as though,
having glanced at her. he found her
OF so little interest that he had
turned almost impatiently away.
1t was strange, too, how very much
she wanted him to look at her again.
There had been. something almost
startling about those gray eyes
cleaning out from thai dark face.
He had affected her strangely, even

Trees in Autumn.

If you want to test yourself out on
how good u woodsman you are, try
now in these days of glorious Autumn
coloration to pick out the common
trees of Washington and the District
of Columbia by their hues. To make
it a test that will impress your
friends you ought really to venture
your guess from a hundred yards dis
tance, when you are too far away
to see the shape Of the leaves, or even
to get more than a general notion of
the outline of the tree.
If you see stately tree cleaning
in purest, luminous glittering gold it
is certain to be a tulip tree, while a
poplar or a willow or q beech has
various shades of old, dull gold, and
may be told by the gray twtgs of the
poplar, the fine silvery tracery Of the
beech twigs or the yellow or red
branchlets Of the willow. The scarlet
oal, is generally not scarlet, but Grim
son, while the white oak turns are
true, translucent scarlet and the
Maryland and black and jack oaks
are shades of greeny bronze.
The ashes turn almost increditable
shades of mauve, old rose and lilac

And not only the trees. but the

lar Autumn glories. The purple red
blueberries are like a low running
