While they thus honored these two victims of that historic tragedy, they were denied the privilege of pay ing a simillar mark of respect to a third, Louis XVII, the lost Dauphin of France, for the reason that no one knows where lle the remains of that victim of the Reign of Terror. In the cemetery of the church of St. Mar garet in the Rue St. Barnard there Is a tomb which bears the “ye. XVII, 1785-1795.

According in August, 1792, the Paris Commune after a dispute with the assembly as towhere their royal pris. oners were to he quartered, succeeded in getting and decreed that the place of captivity should be the Temple, the palace of the Grand Friar of the Knights Templars. Here were held King Louis XVI, Queen Marie Antonette, Princess Elizabeth (sister of the King), Princess Marie Therese (daughter of the King and Queen and later the Duchesse d'- Angouleme), and the Dauphin, Louis Charles. On January 21, 1793, the king was beheaded; later the Queen and the Princess Elizabeth were also sent under the knife, leaving only the Dauphin and his sister prisoners In the Temple. Before the Queen executed, however, the Dauphin had been sep arated from the rest of his family and held a prisoner by himself in another part of the building where he was placed under the care of Antoine Simon, an Ignorant shoemaker, and his wife. Simon was to be the young prince's tutor with the special ob- ject of teaching him the democratic ideas of the revolution. All that he taught the boy, however, was te ging indecent songs and to talk the rough language of the lower classes. How. ever he was not cruelly treated, as has so often been charged, and en- toyed considerable liberty within the ““emple grounds, On January 19, 1704, Simon sudden iy ceased to be the Dauphin's guar dian and that night he and his wife feft the Temple. It is from this moment that the mystery begins, Heretofore many people had been al. towed to see the Dauphin, but from this time on he was kept In close 8 account, legislative fts own way was Fighting Pellagra Tre disease known as “pellagra” wns formerly supposed to be caused by a sort of poisoning due to corn or to a fungus growing in spoiled corn, but this, has been completely dis proved. The reason why the theory was ever set up Is that the disease was first studied In southern Europe among people who lived aimost exclu sively on corn, Pellagra is now be. lieved to be largely, If not entirely, and attended no one, except the person who to his needs, knew anything about the mode of his Within six months the Commune had fallen, but the Temple still held its royal prisoner or, at least, a chlld who was supposed tobe the Dauphin. The last guardian of the little pris- oner, Etienne Alsne, reported that the boy was an imbecile or very much like one and finally on June 8, 1795 this boy died. An autopsy was per formed and various persons were shown the corpse. Care was taken to prevent anyone from properly identi fying him. Although the boy had been buried as the son of Louls XVI, rumors persisted that the Dsuphin was not really dead.

He too, had a long lis documents in support of his assump tion that he was of royal blood but when the court heard the evidence this “lost Dauphin” was summarily banished from France. He eventually made his home In Delft, Helland, and died In 1845. So strongly did im- press his claims upon a large group of French royalists that he was bur jed with great ceremony and over his grave in the Delft cemetery was erected a monument bearing these words. “Here repeoses Louis XVII, King of France and Navarre, Charles Louis, Duke of Normandie, born In Versailles, March 1755, died in Delft August 10, It 1s a far ery from the palace of Versailles and the Temple in Paris to the little town of Hogansburg, N.
