From Halls of Montezuma," Marines
Fighting Song, Dates to Mexican War

The United States marines have
completed an investigation into the
origin of their famous song "From
the Halls of Montezuma," which
they have made famous in almost
every part of the world.
y The results of the investigation,
reports San Francisco, Calf,
United Press correspondent, show
that the song had it's origin at the
time of the invasion of Mexico City
in September, 1847, near the close
of the Mexican war.
Elated with victory of American
arms over the Mexicans, an officer
sat down in the Aztec club and
scrubbed the first verse of the pop
ular sea-soldier ballad.
1t is thus that the marines ac-
count for the beginning of the
sprightly ballad which has since be-
come a bulwark of their esprit de
corps. Later the song grew by leaps
and bounds, verse after verse be-
ing added by some more or less in
spired "leatherneck.
The investigation of the origin OF
the song also developed the fact
that the music came from an old
French opera, "Genevieve de Bra
bant"
Eventually, however, the number

The week of the ball arrived, but
still Madam Loisel was not happy.
Her husband inquired the reason,
and she deplored her lack of jewels.
He suggested her wealthy friend,
Madam Forester, friend of con-
vent days. At the home of her
friend, Madam Loisel surveyed all
the jewel cases and held each orna-
ment up to see the effect. Finally
she inquired if she might use the
diamond necklace. Her friend as
sented and gave her the precious
string of jewels.
Ball Is Success.
( At the ball, Madam was a tri-
umph. All the men asked for in
Productions, and all the women in
quired who she was. Her eyes
shone with this fulfillment of her
day-dreaming. 1t was early morn
ing when they started for home.
Standing before her mirror for a
last glimpse of herself on this glori-
Gus occasion, Madame Loisel ut
tered a Shrek The necklace was
gone! Her husband rushed to her
side. When had she last noticed
it? Where could it be? He started
out to search for it hardly knowing
where to look.
At seven in the morning he re-
turned without it. They searched
the city of Paris. The cab drivers,
the streets, the police. They put
an advertisement in the papers. At
the end of the week they had not

found it, so they made the rounds
of the jewelers. shops. A necklace
almost identically like the lost one,
cost 100000 francs, but they could
get it for $4,000 cash. BY using all
their savings, and by borrowing at
ruinous rates, they bought the new
rope of diamonds.
When Madam returned it, she did
not wait for her friend to open the
box, for fear she might see the diff
ference. Then began the paying
back of all this borrowed money.
They moved into a garrett, dis
missed the maid, and lived as la
boring people. Madam lost her
physical beauty. From haggling
over prices she became loud and
coarse At the end of ten years
they paid off the debt and could
again face the world.
The Revelation.
One day, Madam was walking in
the park to get breath of spring.
Just ahead she saw her old friend,

did not recognize Madam Loi-
sci, and exclaimed upon learning
who she was. Her changed appear
ance called for an explanation. It
could not do any harm now, so the
story of the necklace was told At
the end of it, Madam Forester cried
out In pain. She took the hands of
Madam Loisel and tearfully said,
ooh, my poor Mathilde. Why, my
necklace was paste. 1t was worth
at most 500 francs"
This story is often said to have
the most perfect plot of all short
stories. The technique of Maupas-

phasize the plot above the people.

CHAPTER XVIII

The Lady Governor, La Gober-
MADEIRA, returned to Monterey with
her husband in a pleased, unusual
and utterly unaccountable state of
complete subjugation.
Unaccountable, at least, to his
Excellency: If Dona Eulalia had
confidante, and having one, confided
in her, much might have been
learned. But the Governor went his
way with little sense of guilt after
his outburst in San Francisco, and
enjoyed the favors of his docile wife
greatly. He enjoyed watching her
nurse the child, who fourished like
a wild-fower; he enjoyed seeing her
beauty re-blossom; and watched the
airs of the Monterey peninsula give
his lady's cheeks clarity and glow
that had never graced them before.
The lady herself drifted for two
whole years in this state of docility.
She even grew to enjoy the simple
social pleasures of the preside; the
clam bakes and the dances, the Cos
sip with other women of the colony.

simple gaiety she would pause, and
her mind would grope as though to

would recall her grievance, and

two years! And she had vowed she

of verses became so long that the
corps set in for a deliberate pruning
of everything that was not in ac-
cordance with the traditions of
the corps. AS the song now stands
it consists of only three stanzas
which begin with "Halls of Monte
zuma," the place of origin and end
with the assurance that the marines
will be found guarding the streets
of heaven.
The song has been the battle cry
of marines in the Civil war, the
Spanish-American war, the World
war and in the scores of other in
ternational operations in which the
marines have participated.

Necklace Is
Perfect Tale
BY ELIZABETH C. JAMES

CHE had been born a poor girl and
~ she had married a poor man,
yet Madam Mathilde Loisel, heroine
of Guy de Maupassant's "The Neck
lace" did not give up life so easily.
She dreamed of lovely things. With
in her surged the power to charm,
to sway emotions. One day her
husband returned from work with
an envelope which he eagerly hand
ed her. Reading the contents, she
began to cry. He was astonished.

the state of Delaware, is mostly in
Wyoming, but extends into Montana

at the suggestion of Montana

1870, was the start of our national
parks system. Almost beyond belief
are it's natural wonders, and indeed
early explorers who reported boil

"MOST PERFECT MASTER"

Among the writer's whose lives
were cut short by premature
death and whose work is con-
densed within a few working
years, is the French short story
writer, Henri Rene Albert Guy
de Maupassant. He was born in
1850 and died at the age of forty
three.
Athletics was first love in his
youth. He belonged to a club
where he knew Daudet, Turge-
new, lola and Flaubert, who read
some of his sketches and then
remembered him as a charming
young athlete. This was the man
who was later called "the most
perfect master Of the short stO-
ry."

the word choked him, then putting
his hand to his throat, flung the ac-

"Murderess!"
Eulalia took a wavering step to-

as though to ward off bludgeons,
then sank at his feet.
