SYNOPSIS Capt. Francois de Vigny, serving with Maximilian's army in Mexico, tells the story. A roysterIng group of officers is discussing La Anita, who. rumor says, has lured French officers to death or desertion Summoned by Maximilian to make explanation. De Vigny undertakes to deliver the message to La Anita At La Anita’s home De Vigny meets Colonel Lopez. Mexican officer and the girl’s cousin. Pablo Madrella. who bears a wonderful resemblance to De Vigny, except that he wears a beard Angered that Anita should be called before the emperor. Madrella forces a duel on De Vigny, in which the Mexican is wounded.

CHAPTER 111 The Pass of Benito Juarez La Anita called the mozo. “Agostino. bring the carriage quickly for Senor Madrella. and tell Pedro to run to Doctor Mendez. I lifted a glass of wine to Madrelia's lips. He drank with huge gulps. Looking me in the eyes he twisted bis face into what he imagined to be a smile. “Another time, captain—eh ?” “Shall we see what damage has been done. Senor,” said L “so that we may—?" He shook his head. “Not in the home of Anita; it is unfair.” Lopez and 1 half carried him, so weak had he become. At the door La Anita kissed him tenderly. In the dim tight of the porte-co-chere Lopez gave me a half-smile. “1 will go with him, captain." said be; “you will need to return for your coat." Half-way up the rock steps 1 paused, for a folded piece of paper lay at my feet. 1 picked it up; it was parchment, and heavy. Acting on the presumption that tt had fallen out of Madrella’s coat I turned back and discovered that the carriage had gone. I gave the parchment a quick glance under the uncertain flicker of the oil lamp that hung tn a bracket over the door. An. instant’s look was all 1 required to learn that my And was a thing of vast importance. It was an order, signed by Benito Juarez as “President of the Independent Republic of Mexico and Commander-in-t’hief of the Liberal Forces.” demanding passage through the lines of all Liberal armies for one Pablo Madrella y Gutierrez! And here was the precious Pablo within the Imperialist lines —a spy, a traitor to the Empire! Now 1 had him. whether be died or lived, for that paper, delivered to Maximilian would bring Madrella. before a firing ■squad within the hour. I counted the night a great success as 1 mounted the rest of the steps. 1 found the Senorita Arrel lanos standing before the great fireplace In the library, with .my new coat in her arms. “1 knew you would have to come back for it, senor. so I waited." Now she turned to me. “Put it on quick iy—there Is blood on your shirt!" “1 am sorry, senorita. The world, somehow, seems' all askew. This Is a country of youth and beauty, with no happiness—and it Is the privilege of youth to be happy; this is a land of unlimited natural resources, and starvation stalks abroad; a land whose history—” “Will he live, senor?" she said. “Assuredly." 1 should bave spoken thus had I known he was already dead. “You should be proud of such a cousin." “Proud, senor?” Her amber eyes questioned me. “He handles a sword with exceeding skill." “Yet I find it tn my heart to apologize for him.” Deep In my Inmost soul 1 thanked God that 1 had come through his test unbroken. “It was a trifle, senorita," said I; “a mere hazard of the game." “Had you failed, senor." she said in a voice so low that I scarce could hear, “it would have hurt me—” “You are yery kind—” “—because the test was so unfair," ■she continued. Now this dash of cold water on my ardor sobered me. “1 had harbored a foolish hope, senorita, that —” “Do not misunderstand me. captain; we view life from opposite sides of the world. We are enemies." “But may we not be friendly <.nemles?” “You came to this house with the avowed Intention of killing my cousin. and—* “Yet 1 chose the pistols, senorita.” “And for that display of matchless courage, sesor, 1 offer yon all credit that Is dee. 1 would to God that my cousin bad shown equal bravery!” Tears shone In the amber eyes. “1 am sorry," said L “that what 1 bave done has hurt you. As a servant of bis majesty, Maximilian, 1 owed ft to my service to remove this menace to bis safety; and I do your cousin the honor to admit that he was —and is—a menace. Even the peon on the street was langhlng at us. The mystery surrounding the house on Avenida Flores had to be unraveled. But 1 want you to believe, senorita, that the difference between Captain Francois Vigny, the soldier, and the man—” L She shook her head. “May 1 ask you, senorita, if what .your cousin said concerning Besancon and Leroux is true; that they serve under the flag of the republic?" She nodded. “Does it hurt you, senor?” “Ave; for Rene Leroux, of all men, who eoines also from St Simon, and •horn I knew, as a boy, would bave

been, in my estimation, the last tn all the world to turn against bis emperor and his flag." “Perhaps he recognizes the worthy cause of Mexico.” “Having done what he has, senorita, I pray that he does." “He serves. I believe." she explained, “under the banner of Benito Juarez, whose army rests even now between Tlatlaya and Cuernavaca." “You have put me greatly in your debt,” said L “Is there aught that you can do for me tomorrow?” she asked. “Do 1 not deserve some aid from you. who seem so close to the emperor?” “Your ordeal before nis majesty senorita, will not be hard, and yon shall have assistance." Because I was not certain of his motives I could not tell her that Colonel Lopez, who professed to care for her. bad lulti ated this move to bring her thus be fore the emjieror. Besides, there were certain phases of the Lopez situation that intrigued my fancy, and 1 did not care to show my hand until I had learned what manner of game the wily colonel was trying to play. She went with me to the door, where she gave me her hand again. “Is It permitted," said L “that 1 return?" She shook her head, a wan smile on the lovely face. ‘This house, for you. senor, is a house of danger.” “Yet Lopez." I suggested. “Colonel Lopez has been known to me since I was a child; though he stands today for the empire, be was my father’s friend.” Could 1 tell her that Lopez had brought about the death of her father? Would that have afforded her any happiness, or helped me in her estimation? Assuredly there was much about this thing that required a keener brain than mine. And, going home alone in the early morning, through the quiet, deserted streets. 1 studied the brooding stars and wondered if the riddle would ever be solved for me. CHAPTER IV The Emperor Maximilian The Senorita Anita Arrel lanos seemed a tragic figure, standing all alone, before his majesty. Maximilian.' who had behind him all the power of France and Louis Napoleon. 1 felt, somehow, that there was something terribly unfair about it. yet I had done much to bring her to this pass. With one thrust of a sword I had taken from her the last kinsman up on whom she might rely. In my easily impressed mind she became now a persecuted being instead of yesterday’s grim murder accomplice. His majesty himself was only thir-ty-five. with an appreciative eye for feminine charms, and an ear attuned to the music of feminine voices, so the judicial look, therefore, that be bent uiH»n her had tn it much of the leavening of admiration. “My father, sire.” she was saying, “was a good republican; he had raised neither his hand nor his voice against your majesty; and ny moth er —" Her voice wavered and broke, then went on again: “My mother, loving him too much, could not with stand the shock of his execution, leaving me very much alone." The emperor raised his eyes to a narrow window, which afforded a clear view of the steaming crest of Mexico’s “smoking mountain." Maximilian was a wonderful figure of a man; six feet two and ovq;-, with a large head of great beauty, the deep blue eyes of a dreamer and the face of a student. He had a heavy, brown, silken beard which he stroked, when deep in thought* with gentle, unconscious movements. 1 think 1 never saw a man with such rejmse; yet. when be chose, he could flame into righteous anger. Even while we waited. In the long silence, for bis answer, the empress called me over to her and spoke so that only I could hear. “A lovely woman, Is It not so. Monsieur le Comte?" “Save for your majesty," said L “she is the loveliest lady in Mexico.” For the Empress Carlotta, who lived ever after with a mind sorely clouded by the tragic events of those fateful times, was ever a beautiful woman. • She gave a pleased little taugh. She considered again the lovely lady who stood before the emperor. “What regal poise of her head. Francois!” “Aye,” said L with more fervency than 1 intended to exhibit; “she should be a queen!” “She reigns, no doubt, tn the heart of some courageous man—eh, Francois?” ‘Aye," said 1 again, but with much less ardor, for 1 could not forget the kiss she had given Madrella. “You sigh, mon brave. Are the girls of Picardy less lovely?" “The girls of Pleardy, your majesty,” I answered, again in full control of myself, “are beyond a wide and cold and friendless ocean, while La Anita “La Anita," concluded the empress. “Is it not so?” "Assuredly, your majesty. There is only one La Anita." Now the wondrous cadences of her voice came to us again—deep-throat-ed, full, yet with a rich and abiding sweetness: “You tell us. sire, that you want only peace, yet peace at the point of a bayonet can never be a palatable dish for a free people.” “I have little taste, myself," said the emperor, “for the bayonet, yet Mexico seems to require the use of it.” “The giant’s strength, your majesty, is ever a fleeting thing." Maximilian smiled. “Senorita. courage la a trait to be admired in

every one. You will tell me what you mean?" “Assuredly. That great republic to the north of us. sire—after which our own government was patterned—has Just come to the end of a disastrous civil conflict. Unified again they win look to the Interests of smaller na tions In the western world, and they cannot fail to see a new French em pire tn Mexico. Louis Napoleon con siders too much the stability and rhe safety of France to disregard any demand of rhe United States. When that request is made—as I feel sure It will be—His Majesty Napoleon HI will bend a careful ear.” “And—” the emperor urged, leaning forward, for the thought had doubtless been often with him. “Then Napoleon will withdraw bis legions, and, sire—Maximilian will either return to Europe, or—” “Proceed, senorita. 1 pray you." She lifted slim shoulders. “It will he as your majesty desires. It is not written that France—or Austria, or even Belgium—shall rule Mexico. Benito Juarez is President of Mexico; he has ruled as President, he will rule again.” “An outlaw—a rebel!” quoth the emperor. “The deliverer of any people, sire Is always an outlaw or a rebel. If he fails he pays the penalty; if he succeeds monuments are built to bis memory, and states and rivers and mountains are named after him. and a place is enshrined for him for ever tn the hearts of his people.” A sigh went round the gloomy chamber—deep, fervent, involuntary —for we felt that we were listening to the words of prophecy. A deathlike stillness held us in its spell. 1 remember that the eyes of the Empress Carlotta held my own, and tn their sweet and youthful depths doubt and fear and wonder grew. Maximilian broke the tense, significant silence with a short harsh laugh. “Senorita, tt til befits one who has assumed the role of murder accomplice to take upon one’s self the pose of prophetess." La Anita’s amber eyes widened. “Save what your majesty has done to my father, 1 know of no murders" “But Leroux.” said Maximilian, “and Besancon, and—" “So far as I know, sire, they are alive and well, both Leroux and Besancon.” She must have read the inmH Could I Tell Her That Lopez Had Brought About the Death of Her Father? credulity tn his face, for she contin ued: “It is the truth.’your majesty, so sure as I expect, some time, to be adjudged." “And Mironsac?” the emperor questioned. “Lieutenant Mironsac will tell you. sire." said she slowly, “that it was he who brought about the duel between himself and my cousin.” “Mironsac will tell me later concerning that. You will tell me of Duroc. brave soldier of France, who found death in your home. What of Duroc. senorita. whose dead body was taken from the canal?” She studied the emperor’s face, and her shoulders drooped. She spoke very low. but her clear voice carried: “Lieutenant Duroc fought with my cousin, your majesty, and was killed." “In your home?” “In my home. sire. He had sought an introduction, and had made urgent plea to be permitted to call and see me. Was there aught to be gained by a refusal!” She sighed. “Some of the men of France, your majesty, have not been overly courteous, nor have they exhibited that chivalry which has ever been the heritage of Frenchmen.” “Where Is this duelist cousin of thine, senorita?” “At his home, sire, where he lies, grievously wounded.” “Ah—so? Then he found his match at last; a French blade, senorita Y* She nodded. “A sword thrust, sire, deep in bis side.” She studied the floor. 1 waited—hoping against hope—for Maximilian’s next question, because I feared that my escapade might dis please him. -Who is this Frenchman?” “Captain Vigny,” she said. “Aha! The Blade of Picardy laid him low?” “Yes, your majesty." Now, watching her. 1 imagined that a fleeting smile for one brief Instant touched her face. “Why?” I wondered. “Would she smile because her beloved cousin lay surely wounded;

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

was there anything in the mere tn*, tion of my name that might bring tc her lovely face ever so faint a ghost of a smile as 1 had seen?” “Francois!" the em;»eror roarea. Her majesty, Carlotta, caught my sleeve. “Ah, mon brave, you did not tell me." “I had no wish, your majesty.” ! said, “to fill your ear with trifles." “Francois!” The emperor roared again. “Sire?” I cried. “A moi!" Standing beside the lovely La Anita. I bowed before bim. Her shoulder touched my own—ever so lightly. Somehow it gave me comfort; the very nearness of that exquisite thing overwhelmed me with a winelike warmth; a sweet surge of happiness went through me. and the gloomy chamber took on suddenly the transcendent glory of heaven. “Must I speak to thee twice, dott?" Maximilians face was purple with anger. “I am sorry, your majesty." “Is It not sufficient that you spend your evenings carousing at the Case Miramon. and making sheep’s eyes at ladies who pass the Alsimeda—” “Your majesty.” I said. I Imagined that the slim shoulders of La Anita shook a little. “Must you fight with every nincompoop— ?” “Sire!” 1 cried. “Is it by such senseless duels that you have gained your nom.de guerre: is It because of such mad ventures that they call you the Blade of Picardy; does such useless jeopardizing of life gain anything for France? Speak—use your tongue . . or does your brain work only through that agile sword of yours?” When he had stopped for breath, when he had faltered tn that spark ling excoriation, I got in a word or two: “Your majesty. I have never gone into a senseless fray, I have never engaged in a useless duel. and. save one, 1 have never sought a duel. I am serving your majesty to the limit of my ability, just as I have always served, and just as I shall continue to serve so long as your majesty* shall desire my service, and *0 long as God gives me life and strength to offer it" The anger went out of his eyes. “Francois." he said gently, for the Emperor Maximilian, for some reason 1 have never been able to fathom, had a deep and abiding affection for me. I stood silent before him. “I chide thee. Francois.” he con tlnued, “because 1 would preserve thee for the cause of France.” “It is the cause of France, you* majesty, that 1 served last night ” “You sought this duel. Francois; you went to the home of La Anita Arrellanos with this duel in mind?” La Anita sighed. “No, sire: Captain Lestrange permitted me to deliver to the Senorita Arrellanos the summons for her ap pearance here before you today. I delivered the summons, your majesty and merely mixed a little pleasure with my business." The emi»eror laughed, and I knew that 1 was safe. “You are able, then to corroborate—or to deny—the statements just made by the senorita, is It no so. Francois?” “So far as 1 am informed your majesty, Senorita Arrellanos has told the truth in every particular. Dun* fell in fair combat, and I think that Lieutenant Mironsac has no complaint to make.” “But what of Besancon and of Le roux? Can yon tell me where they are?" he insisted “No, sire. I cannot tell.” said t mixing mendacity with evasion. “They are safe, think you. Fran cols?" “I am sure of it. your majesty.” “Yet—" Now I caught the emperor’s eye “In this land of Mexico, sire, where rumor runs rife, and intrigue grows as naturally as color# come to the rainbow, where the loyalty of men swings from the Empire to the Re public overnight—and back again before the sun has set—we cannot pu» our faith in any man. We prove where proof is available, beyond that we merely chance the hazards of the game.” Maximilian stroked his beard. He leaned forward and pitched his voice so that we two alone —La Anita and I—could hear: “You think, then Francois, that Leroux and Besancon might be out on the business of the Empire?” It seemed safer to triclothe good man than to tell him the truth. “That, your majesty, is my thought.” 1 heard a deep sigh from the lovely lady who stood beside me. I bad done my best; 1 had made it easy for her. “Then the Senorita Arrellanos. Francois, should be permitted to return to her home?” “Aye. sire; the senorita has suffered enough." Now. for one brief delicious instant 1 felt the soft light touch of La Anita’s fingers upon my hand. • “She may go," said Maximilian gently; “and Francois, remain with me and tell me of your duel.” Maximilian laughed Immoderately over the episode of the empty pistols, and be thrilled. I think, at my account of the duel, while—as my story progressed—the rich color came and went In the fair face of the Empress Carlotta. (TO BE CONTINUED.!

Improved Uniform International S’undaySchool ' Lesson' (By REV P B FITZWATER L>.U.. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicaxo.) I®. 1929. Western Newspaper t’nion » Lesson for June 16 JUDAH TAKEN CAPTIVE LESSON TEXT—II Kings 45:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to anv people. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Nation That Forgot God. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Nation That Forgot God. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Paying the Price of Sinning. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—National Accountability to God Zedekiah was made king of Judah by the king of Babylon (11 Kings 24:17), but in spite of this kindness and the word of the Lord spoken to him by Jeremiah (Jer. 34:17. 18. cf. Jer. 52:3), he rebelled against the king of Babylon. He relied upon the help of Egypt, but all that Egypt could do was to cause temporary interruption of the siege of Jerusalem. I. The Siege of Jerusalem (vv. 1-3). 1. Tile time (vv. 1,2). It begun on the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign and lasted about eighteen months. The tenth month, according to the Jewish calendar. corresponds to our December. January, as their calendar year began about the middle of March. The reason the exact time is given is that this was to be an event ot great importance to the Jews in their exile. 2. The method (v. I). Nebuchadnezzar came with a large army and encamped against Jerusalem and built forts against it round about it is thought that siege walls were built around the city, shutting it in. On the tops of these walls forts were built from which missiles of destruction could be hurled by their engines of war against the city. With the city thus shut in, its fall was only a question of time. 3. The famine (v. 3). Geikie says, “It was speedily followed. as is always the case, with an outbreak of pestilence. Food was well-nigh gone. There had long been no bread. Mothers were at last driven to murder and eat their children. The richest citizens wandered about searching for scraps in the dung hills.” it .is estimated that one third of the people of Jerusalem died of starvation. , 11. Zedekiah’s Flight and Fate (vv. 4-7). 1. “The city was broken up” (v. 4). The Chaldeans had succeeded in making an opening in the wall so large that they could make their way into the city in spite of all that the Hebrews could do. Resistance was carried on to the bitter end. 2. Zedekiah’s flight (v. 4). The king with his men of war fled by night toward the plain. His object no doubt was to cross the Jordan at Jericho and hide in the mountains east of the river. 3. Zedekiah’s fate (vv. 5-7). (1) He was overtaken in the plains of Jericho (v. s>. When his flight was discovered, the Chitldean army pursued and captured him. (2) He was brought to the king of Babylon at Rihlab tv fi). a town north of Damascus. It was the king’s headquarters from which he directed his armies against Tyre and Jerusalem. Zedekiab was tried as a criminal before Nebuchadnezzar. (3) His fate (v. 7). His sons were slain in his sight; his eyes were put out; he was bound with fetters of brass and they carried him to Babylon where he rettiained prisoner until the day of hts death (Jer 52:111 111. Jerusalem Destroyed (vv.B-10). The ilismantling ot the city was delayed a month. i>erhnps awaiting In Structions from Nebuchadnezzar who was at Riblah. The work of destruction was executed by the officer next in rank to the king. 1. They burnt of rhe house ot the Lord (v. 91 This was the sacred temple built hy Solomoiu wirti additions and modifications. Before burning it was despoiled of all its sacred contents 2 Burnt the kinsi's house (v. 9) This was doubtless the palace built t>y Solomon 3. Burnt all the houses of Jerusalem (v. 9). The implication is that the common houses were left for the people (v. 12) 4 They broke down the walls of Jerusalem. The aim was to render the walls useless as a means of defense. tV. The Disposition of the Temple Furniture and Priests (vv. 13-21)' 1. The temple furniture (vv. 13-17) The pillars ot brass and the brazen sea were broken into pieces hy the Babylonians. These pieces, together with the utensils, were carried to Babylon. 2. Certain officers and priests (w. 18-21). # Certain officers, priests and threescore men of the -land were taken to Riblah by the king of Babylon, where they were slain. God’s Gifts Noli Forced on Us Even God cannot force His gifts. He remains at the mercy of those to whom He offers them; for to crush, or even to overrule or unduly influence them would defeat His whole aim. A giver is always limited by the willingness of the other man to receive. And so it is with God and His children. His giving can only go side by side with our receiving.—F. A. Burroughs. The Blessed Hope “1 will see you again.” That is Christianity. If that be not true, I doubt whether in the long run the human heart will care to go much further, or to endure forever the sorry business. But if that be true—“l will see you again"—then “bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and all that is within me bless Ills Holy name.”
