Gone were the civi- lized and courtly ways he had as- sumed in the salons of London com- pletely thrown aside, as one sheds a wornout garment. His expression, attitude and demeanor had under- gone a radical and most disconcert- ing change. He paused beside the old brick oven where the interrupted baking stood in its shining pans of tin.

Poland and Bohemia. At present they are extending their economic and political influence over a large part of Europe and if the course of history continues to run true, the Slavic element is destined to drive ! out of Europe the present forms of government and freedom of the na- tions of western Europe. How long the struggle between Teutons andi the Slavs which is now being waged in Europe will continue no one knows but to the student of historic events from the first recorded acts of man to the present time the final out- come is certain. History always re- reats itself. Probably the end of per- sonal freedom and Christian belief will not come by wars and bloody strife but rather by the infiltration

Germans. As the years went by the German tribes became more and more civilized and formed themselves into some 19 petty kingdoms or dukedoms, but the social and eco- nomic setup was practically the same in all. In the main there were five classes of society: churchmen. Lords, freemen, townsmen and serfs. The churchmen and the lords couli own and transmit property. The freemen and townsmen paid the taxes while the serfs were attached to the, soil. They were allowed a small piece of land the use of which was to sup- port their families, but the most of their labor was claimed by their land lords.

maligrant yet intellectual face. This holds more than three. Standing in massacre was real. Here was life. His nostrils dilate as he sniffs the smoke, and his brawny fingers clasp and move like a brood of young vi- para until he grips the dirk at his hip. The eyes of Brant smoulder in their hollow sockets like glowing coals of fire as he views the horrible tragedy staged in its black setting of murder and deviltry. The refining influence of civilization is gone: for- gotten are his school days, the court- 17 airs and influence of the senior Johnson. All this has receded from his mind into a remote past. His heavy body quivers as his snake eyes gaze before him. The purposeful cruelty of the man is inert, it is en- tirely unassumed.

The savage placed one hand over his brow and wickedly blinked for only a glimpse of the runaway Grimms.

The whole expression of the Indian was on of mad hate and anger! of cruel and malignant vi- ciousness over the scalp losses caus- ed. by the absence of the family of Grimms. The savage shifted his po- sition, peered sharply to the right then to the left, swinging in his mighty hand a stout, oddly shaped war club with a bone handle. It is a human thigh bone, surmounted by a head of polished flint and garnished with a fillet of gaudy feathers. Some strangely fashioned articles of copper are tied to the handle, and below the ornaments dangled an object hideous in outline-a severed and shriveled human hand. A score of In- dians came quickly into view. Half nude they were, all lithe and muscu- lar and terrible to look upon. The faces of some were smeared more deeply than' others with red ochre till it seems as though blood were flowing from their cleft skulls.
