The valley of the Loire is the gar-
den and show place of rural France.
says a writer in the Mirwaukee Jour-
nal. The natural beauty of the re-
gion has l'ong attracted an held the
admiration of.- visitors. etc the
kings and nobles of medieval France
built their castles._ There ‘today these
same old chateans. crumbling under
the weight of centuries and clothed
in romantic history. add_ to the pic-
turesque charm of the valley.
The architecture of the medieval
strongholds. with their massive walls.
their meats and t elr battlements.
reflects the need of an age when
protection was to be found only be-
hind strong walls and every castle
was a. small kingdom within itself
Today the battlements are silent and
clinging ivy has mellowed the grim-
ness of the ‘walls until .their aspect
is more that of drowsy sentinels
watching over the peaceful Loire as
it flows its calm course to the sea.
on all the ancient. castles of sunny
Touraine none has a more stirring
and romantic past than that oh the
castle of Blois. “The Pearl of the
Loire." Frenchmen called it. To
write the story of Blois would be to
write the history of the French kings
and queens. for almost all of them at
some time or other during their lives
lived in this great castle.
“Pearl of the helm."
Above the Roman archway that
gives entrance to the castle is a great
nbhe surrounded by beautiful sculp-
tured- stonework. Within the niche
stands a magnificent statue of Louis
X11. reminding us that this monarch
'He lived t 1we

had married as soon as he decently
could a er the death of her first
husband. Charles V111. Here Louis
and Anne both died: she first and he
soon after.
It was in the chapel of Blois that
Hen'ri 111 of France took the sacra-
ment with his friend. the Duc do

Never was there a greater perfidy.
Ten weeks later. after a dispute with

Stained Pages of History.

pages of this castle‘s story are light-

luring eyes of myai mistresses. And
many pages are wet with their tears,
too.
Not far from Blois is the castle of
Chambord. It took twelve years to
build, although 1,800 workmen were
employed. it was built through the
whim of the same king who cox--
structed a great part of Blois. Tran-
cis 1. After Chambord was completed
Francis discovered that it, did nqta
please his fancy. This annoyed him
greatly. and he never visited the
place again. There is a legend that
ChamUord is built upon the. site or
the old hunting lodge of the Dukes
of Orleans. It was believed that
the place was haunted by none other
than his satanic majesty, who. dre s-
ed in black, mounted upon a. black
stallion and followed by black
hounds and black servants. hunted
nightly in the dense forest that sur-
rounded the castle:
der. therefore, that Chambord was
never.popular with the French sov-
erigne.

above it is one of the most famous
and infamous in Europe. Far Loches
was the torture house of the Bour-
bon kings. It is there. that Louis Xi

wretched victims. The castle was
originally built by the Romans. [In-

Alt was in the donjon of Loches

she bore him no sons. Then. fright-
