might have been different The accession
of the House of Hanover changed good
many theories about 175 years ago, but it
| did not change the natural order of events.
| let one would suppose that Jacobite was
a thing OF the past-as dead as Noah's
Journeyman shtpwright and that the fol-
! lowers of the Stuart family lived only in
the romantic pages of "Waverly" and the
pathetic ballads which are so pretty be-
cause they have ceased to be political
There was, however, some person born
out OF time" who sought in 1888 to revive
the faded glories of the Stuarts, and he pub
lished a calendar in which the d0leful
story Of the 'persecuted" race is told with
great effect. The reader is introduced to
gentlemen and ladies whom they were ac-
quanted with under strange names. There
is James LIP of England and Charles
III, also Il Henry TX, and there is a series
of more or less other unfortunate Kings out
of job, or princelings whose portraits but
for "out" might have had under them the
line king of England" Last in tie pro-
cess1on comes woman, and good Looking,
matrony body she is, too, whose claims to
be Queen OF Great Britain and Ireland, etc,
are as trrefragable as a Stuart enthusiast
could desire.
The pedigree begins with Mary, Queen of
Scots, and the portraits range in the order
of James l, II, Ill, Charles |. Ii, III. and
Henry X, and winds up with Princess Louis
of Bavaria, the wife OF gentleman who
appears to be several degrees out of a job
at present, because he is heir to only re-
gency, and that is a dubious prospect for
any one in the monarchy business to-day.
His amiable wife. the mother of eleven
children, is the heiress of the Stuart line,
and represents the hereditary branch Of the
family, and consequently the successor to
the throne of England.
The pedigree by which this is claimed is
derived from Robert Bruce, but it is not
necessary to 20 back thus far. Beginning
with James l of England the house of Stuart
reached its grandest estate. To-day it is like
an antiquarian puzzle of so little interest IN
the busy world as anything could well be,
but not without little value to the student
of history.
The line thus traced ignores some facts Of
history, and leaves out some names, but
what could be wanted but proof of the
claim, and here is the proof made to order.
Here IS the chart as made by the compiler
OF the stuart Calendar y; Charles l Of
England married Henrietta of France, and
had two sons and one daughter, Henrietta.
| We all know how Charles III lived out his
merry" days, and how James ii, his
| brother, was discharged without character
| from his job. Thence the male line is very
short, though seas of romance have made
their names vital for all time. James Ill
was the son of James IL Ghough this was
denied by the Wings, who claimed that the
child was foisted on credulous people,.
| This James Ill, according to the Stuart fc-
| ton, was the king" over the water of
the Jacobite ballads, and his son, Charles
! Edward Charles lid fingers here yet in
numbers of ancient ballads and romantic
memories. Lastly came Henry TX, who died
| a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church.
| On his tombstone is inscribed:
"Henricus Nonus. Magma Britannia,
| Francia ct Hiberne Rex Fidei Defensor,
! Cardinals Episcopus Tusculum. Non De-
siderico Hominum sed VUluntate Del Ammo
| MDCCLXXXVIlI."
With this passes away the male line OF

daughter of Charles |, is responsible for the
pedigree by which Queen Victoria might be
expected to feel nervous. Henrietta mar
ried Philip of Orleans, and they had issue,
Anne. wife OF Victor Amadeus ii, King of
Sardinia, whose son, Charles Emmanuel
III, by his marriage with Princess Polyx-
enc of Hesse-Rheinfeld, had Victor Amad-
Gus Ill of Savoy. He was the father Of
Charles Emmanuel " and Victor En-
manuel l of Sardinia. The latter's daugh-
Duke OF Modena, and their sons were
Francis V, Duke of Modena, and Ferdi-
nand Victor. The last named Prince
married Elizabeth of Austria and died
in 1S49. The issue of this marriage is
the Queen of England to-day by right of
succession, if the pedigree as outlined above
is correct. This lady, whose portrait is
here given, REFUGEES in the names of Mary
Theresa Henrietta Dorothea of Modena.
Fortunately she Is married and is now plain
Princess Louis of Bavaria. She was born
in 1910 and married in 1868, and has borne
eleven children, so that even if-aS is very
probable-she is never called to the throne
of Great Britain as Queen Mary III, she has
left hest of youngsters to choose frcm
should there be vacancy in the British
succession.
In the death of Henricus Nonus, King
Charles Emmanuel ~ of Sardinia became
heir to all the glorious bubble of Stuart
sovereignty, but there is no record OF him
or his successors having claimed the title
or foolishly used it. Yet had 1t not been
for the British law excluding Catholics from
the throne, Charles Emmanuel of Sardinia
would have been Charles " Of Great Brit
ain from 1907 to 1919. In the same year in
which Queen Victoria was born Victor Eul-
manuel / succeeded TO the throne of SaT-
DINA. He was the heir also of the StuartS,
and. but" would have reisned from 1919
to 1924
Lastly, by the pedigree rs given above,
Francis V of Modena would have been
King Of England from 1910 to 1875. His
death left the inheritance of the Stuart
crown TO his daughter, whose counterfeit
preSentment is here given, and who Is am
| ply compensated for her loss of the crown
| by the Immortality given 10 her royal posi-
| bilities in the Globe, whose sympathieS are
| always with the poor and oppressed of ALI
| nations AS there is no possible chance of
| a Stuart dynasty being revived, IL Is per-
! fectiy safe for any belated Jaeobite TO sned
| a tear over the miSfortunes Of the once royal
| house.
