Bicknell contributes |<lb />an article on ~~The Last Days of<lb />Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette� to<lb />The Century. Miss Bicknell sayg: |<lb /><lb />At 8 o'clock the king camé out of<lb />the turret and desired that his fam-<lb />ily should besummoned; then, with<lb />Clery, he went into the dining room,<lb />where Clery pushed the table into a<lb />corner to give more room and placed<lb />chairs in readiness. The king, ever<lb />thoughtful and considerate in what<lb />concerned the queen, then desired<lb />Slery to bring a decanter of water<lb />and a glass in case of need. Clery<lb />brought iced water, but the king im-<lb />mediately said that it might make<lb />the queen ill and asked for water<lb />without ice. |<lb /><lb />The queen, holding the little dau-<lb />phin by the hand, came in first, fol.<lb />lowed by Mme. Elisabeth with Mme.<lb />Royale, All had learned the dread-<lb />ful truth through the cries of the<lb />news venders under their windows.<lb />With floods of tears the queen threw<lb />herself into the kingTs arms and<lb />then attempted to draw him into his<lb />bedchamber, but he explained that<lb />he could receive them all only in<lb />the dining room, where the guards<lb />could watch them through the glass<lb />door. Clery closed it, and they could<lb />at least speak without being heard.<lb />The king sat down; the queen took<lb />her place at his left, with Mme.<lb />Elisabeth on the other side; the<lb />children were before him. All clung<lb />to him, and for some time only a<lb />burst of grief was manifest. At last<lb />the king spoke. ©<lb /><lb />~~He wept for us,� says Mme.<lb />Royale in her narrative, ~~but not<lb />through fear of death, He related<lb />his trial to my mother, excusing the<lb />wretches who were about to put him<lb />to death. He then addressed reli-<lb />gious exhortations to my brother.<lb />He especially commanded him to<lb />forgive those who were the cause of<lb />his death and gave him his bless-<lb />ing, as also to me.�T<lb /><lb />The child was seen to raise his<lb />hand solemnly, the king having re-<lb />quired him to take ~an oath that he<lb />would never seek to avenge his<lb />death, and the child did so.<lb /><lb />During the last hours of his-~life<lb />Louis X V1 seemed transfigured. His<lb />quiet and calm firmness, his truly<lb />Christian feelings of forgiveness to-<lb />ward his enemies, his faith, his res-<lb />ignation, are described with blended |<lb />wonder and admiration by all who<lb />came near him.<lb /><lb />The interview, so harrowing to<lb />all, had lasted nearly two hours,<lb />when, at a quarter past 10, the king<lb />rose decidedly, signifying to the<lb />weeping women and children that<lb />they must leave him to prepare for<lb />coming death. The queen entreated<lb />to be allowed to spend the night<lb />near him, but he firmly refused,<lb />saying that he must be alone and<lb />calin. :<lb /><lb />~~] will see you tomorrow morn-<lb />ing,TT he said.<lb /><lb />~oYou promise this?TT cried the<lb />queen.<lb /><lb />~Yes, I promise; I will see you at<lb />8 o'clock. T |<lb /><lb />oWhy not at 7� cried the queen<lb />anxiously.<lb /><lb />oWell,<lb />adieu!�<lb /><lb />The word was uttered with such<lb />intense pathos that a fresh burst of<lb />grief followed, and Mme. Royale<lb />fainted at her fatherTs feet. Clery<lb />flew to raise her, assisted by Mme.<lb />Ehsabeth.<lb /><lb />The king<lb />Adieu!� and<lb />refuge in bis own bedchamber.<lb /><lb />then, at 7. But now<lb /><lb />repeated, ~~Adieu!<lb /><lb />AN ANTTS HEROISM,<lb /><lb />broke away, taking |." eriny and evening.<lb /><lb />survey was repeatedT several times<lb />in quick succession. The group of<lb /><lb />| ants gathered more closely together<lb /><lb />and seemed to be in a state of rest-<lb />less anxiety. As the water rose the<lb />circuit grew less, the vigil more<lb />earnest and the excitement more in-.<lb />tense with each return of the senti-<lb />nel. They rushed about over each<lb />other ina terrible state of agitation,<lb />for the water was rapidly approach-<lb />ing. There was now hardly room<lb />for them to stand on; just a little<lb />while and that would be under wa-<lb />ter. They ceased struggling, settled<lb />down into motionless inactivity and<lb />seemed entirely resigned to their<lb />fate.<lb /><lb />I picked up a little stick and laid<lb />it across the water to the point<lb />where the ants were. They seemed<lb />dazed and did not instantly take ad-<lb />vantage of the means of escape af-<lb />forded them. One then crawled hur-<lb />riedly up on the stick and wept its<lb />full length out and over the blades of<lb />grass on to the dry land. Without a<lb />secondTs hesitation he turned and re-<lb />traced bis steps back to his compan-<lb />ions. Now the smallest one of the<lb />group returned with him to dry<lb />land. They both retraced their<lb />steps, and the work of rescue began.<lb />The rest seemed passive, entirely<lb />subservient to the will of these two.<lb />Each, with a companion, hastened<lb />out to a place of safety.<lb /><lb />The small one was much the more<lb />active, he rescuing about three to<lb />the largerTstwo. Time was precious,<lb />as the water was rapidly rising. It<lb />would soon be running around the<lb />outer end of the stick and the island<lb />was melting away. One by one they<lb />were taken out, the guide accom-<lb />panying the rescued one each time to<lb />a place of security. Why they did<lb />not all follow the first one out when<lb />he returned puzzled me, but they did<lb />not. ~The smaller ant now hurried<lb />forth with the last one. Still he was<lb />not content and rushed back in<lb />search of others. The little hillock<lb />was now melted away, and he turn-<lb />ed to seek safety for himself. He<lb />did not seem as much concerned as<lb />before. He did not hasten on as<lb />When conscious of rescuing others.<lb />The water was running around the<lb />stick. The last avenue of escape<lb />recmed closed to him forever. He<lb />went tothe highest point and settled<lb />down perfectly still. His previous<lb /><lb />~conduct convinced me that he now<lb /><lb />fully realized that the case was<lb />hopeless as far as he was concerned.<lb />Must the bravest of them all thus<lb />dic When he could have easily made<lb />his escape long ago? He willingly<lb />risked his own life that he might<lb />save others. Could a more genuine<lb />example of heroism be found in hu-<lb />man annals? Could a more striking<lb />example of brotherly love and un-<lb />selfish devotion be shown? Coulda<lb />more earnest solicitude for the life<lb />of others be instanced? 1 think not.<lb />Within his own, power this little in-<lb />sect had no possible means of escape.<lb />He did not fear death, neither did be<lb />die, but he was last to escape. I lift-<lb />ed the stick from the water and laid<lb />rf onthe ground. He crawled hur-<lb />ric.lly away to his companions,<lb />wi m he had so recently torn from<lb />th. rasp of death. Whatever I may<lb />he. done for them, I can but feel<lb />thei, in his example, the little hero<lb />ant did much more for me."St.<lb /><lb />CHU CLs,<lb /><lb />i eiemeieneaemanemeeitiond<lb /><lb />BAPTI51"sServices every Srnday,<lb />Prayer meeting<lb />oburscay evening.

As<lb />ig my custom on returning home, I<lb /><lb />took the garden hose and turned wa. |<lb /><lb />ter into a small trench which had<lb />been dug around a maple tree for<lb />the purpose of holding water a suf- |<lb />ficient time to-_permit the dirt adja- |<lb /><lb />~cent to the roots to become thor-<lb /><lb />| ditch being covered, about: 20 of the<lb /><lb />~earth. At first they were scattered<lb />~about over the highest part of the<lb /><lb />oughly soaked. |<lb />Sitting down near the rest, my at- |<lb />tention was soon attracted to aT<lb /><lb />/group of small ants rushing hither |<lb /><lb />and thither in an endeavor toes: |<lb />cape. The bottom -of the circular<lb /><lb />ants sought safety onTa large clod of<lb /><lb />little mound, and to all appearance<lb />were indifferent as to their surround-<lb />ings. After a little one of the num-<lb />ber proceeded leisurely around the<lb />little island and after finishing the<lb />circuit hurried back to his compun-<lb /><lb />ions. It appeared that they then,<lb />for the first time, .realized-that they<lb />Were ~strrounded by water.
