ERE js the story of a woman who war destroyed by the monster she had helped bring to life; a woman whose hand flung open the flood= Rates and who perished in the resulting torrent. The story of Mme, Manon Roland, Itterary genius, conspirator, patriot, heroine and victim. She was the daughter of a poor French engraver, and was born jn Paris An 1754. She was intended tor the convent, but soon made it clear whe had no idea of thus burying her talents. From. early childhood she showed strong leanings toward-itterature, and acquired an education second to none, in Europe. Falling under the influence of Rounseat’s writings and other idealistic works, she formed x wild plan for converting France from an arie- tocrat-ridden monarchy into an {deal republic. Individual effort counted for less in those days than now, and the notion’ of one obscure girl helping to overthrow one of the mightlest kingdoms of the earth and re- constructing it on republican principles seemed absurd. But like many @p- Parent ebsurd{ties it was destined to startling fulfilment. A woman's wit,” enthusiasm and literary skill achieved what an army 100,000 strong could not have done. When she was twenty-seven she married Jean Roland, a fellow-revolu- Uonist, and together the couple laid their plans to work for liberty. Her husband was employed at Amiens and later at Lyons as “Mariage p Imspector of Manufactures, Ike many another man Hen he has-been carried-into. fame on-his brilliant wite's That Led tothe} shoulders. All the subsequent deeds attributed to him Freedom of were influenced by her, and in most of them he acted France: simply as’ her mouthplece. Hers wore the brain, the bmw, ‘Invention, the enthusiasm that carried their schemes to success. Soon after their marriage the couple began to” publish articles, pamphlets and other forms of Iterature, all containing strikingly revolutionary sentiments. So clear were their arguments, 80 eloquent their pleas, so brilliant the future they painted for France under A republican government, that the writings spread throughout the whole country, setting men to thinking, quickening half-dormant aspirations, fan- ning the tiny spark of freedoni into a blaze that was one day to sweep all the ‘land In a consuming fire. i These works drew.to the Rolands many other reyolutionists, and soon Mme. Roland found herself the recognized leader of a dangerously powerful movement. : i The spirit of Mberty was awakening, and with it a furious mob spirit nursed by centuries of oppression. In 1789 the mob, the national guard and a band of saner rexolutionista shook the monarchy to Its foundations by de- stroying the Bastille, capturing the King and Queen and dictating public af. fairs more or less to sult themsolves_ f In 1791 the Rolands came to Paris, where they speedily took the lead ta matters dealing with the possibie republic, establishing a flrebrand newe= paper called “The Republican,” in which they daringly alred thelr radical views on government. Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette still made a feeble pretense of ruling, and Mme. Roland began a-serica of flerce and effective attacks on the luckless monarchs. These denunciations hastened their fall and payed the way to the popular clamor for the death of King and Queen. Meantime, early in 1792, Jean Roland (through his wif planning) ‘vas ap- pointed Minister of the Interfor, His wife (acting always as his adviser and the author of most of his utterances) was the real Minister, and, thanks to ber, Roland made a high record in his new position. The Minister published a letter, written by his wife, bitterly assailing the King, and managed to get it before the people, For this he was dismissed from oliice, but, owing to popular pressure, was soon reinstated. The letter did more perhaps than uny one other occurrence to tead the people fin August, 1792) to dethrone Louis. ’ Now, all that Mme. Roland had schemed and worked for at last came to pass. The King and Queen were deposed, the cruel nobles killed or ban- ished, the heavy taxes and other oppressions lifted ¢ ® from the people and the republic assured. She was “O Liberty! content. : What Crimes But ft {s easter to raise trouble than to quell it. The Goddess of Liberty conjured up by her mazic pen had, for the time, turned Into a bloodihiss‘y, insane monster of destruction. Too late Mme. Roland realized *hié and tried to check the waye of murderous anarchy that.en- gulfed France. But the only result was that the fanatics turned on_thelr former leader, accusing her of treasonable loss of interest in the cause of kreedom. Despite her pleas, Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette were ex- ecuted. Then she herself was brought to trial. But so forefbly did she ad- dress the Court in her own defense that she was acquitted, Soon she was Are Committed in Thy Name!" # again arrested and thrown Into prison, There sho wrote her famoi “Memotrs,” and, on Noy. 8, 1793, was beheaded.
