The occasion was the one hundred thh·tyl:==~ fifth anniversary of the t.>xecutlon of Louis XYJ which t(>Ok place during tile French revolution and they had gathered there In memory ot the Bourbon monarch and Ills Queen, Marie Anttonette. While they thus honored these twt' victims of that historic tragedy, they were denied the prh·ilege of paying 8 ~lmiliar mark of respect to a thin!, Loui< X\'Il, the lo~t Dauphin ot France, for tl1e reason that no one knows where lie the remains of that victim of the Reign ot Terror. ln the cemetery of the church of St. ~!nr garet In the Hue St. Barnard tl•erP Is n tomh whi<-h bears the words "L.

Or would the Botl!'bonists who wished to honor the memory of this King, who nt'ver held the throne which .ll'as J·iglltfully his, be compeiiPd to l"isit a cemetPry In the town c-f Ilogan~burg, Xew York and lay their wreaths upon the g-ravestone which bent-s the name of Eleazer Williams with the assurance that they were thus ilonoring the little lost Dauphin? Although the fate !'t the lost Dauphin is one of the unsolved J'idclles of history, certain definite far·ts In regard to It hn1·e bP!'n established by the researches of a rePent French historian. According to his account, In August. 170::?, the Paris Commune after a di~pute with the l~gislati<e ns~emhly as to where their royal pt·ls· oners were to he quartered, succee•led In getting Its own way and clecr~ed that the plarc> of captivity ~hould be •"the 'femple, the palace <'f the Gr,tnd Friar of the Knights Templars. Here were held li:ing Louis XYI, Queen ~!arle Antonette, Princess Elizabeth (si::ter of the King), Princess ~lnrle ''rher~se (daughter of the King and Qucl'll nncl latPr the DurheHse d'Ang-nuleme), and the Dauphin, LPuls Charles. Ou ,January 21, 17n:l, the king was lll'h~aded; later the Queen and the l'rinrt·~s Elizabeth were also ~lent under the knife, leaving only th,• Dauphin and his silrter fll'isoners In the Temple. J:efore the Queen was executed. howewr, the Dauphin hacl heen separated fr!'m the rest of his family and held a prisoner hy himsc>lf In another part of the building where he was placed un<let· the cure of Antoine Simon, an ignorant shoemaker, and his wife. Simon wa;: to be the young prince's tutor with the special ob· jeet of tc>athing l•im the democratic ldt'as of the revolution.
