undertaken in tho East, tho relations of Romo

would have cost Julian much treasure, and
probably many leRions to establish vassal
prince on the Persian throne; nor could there
have been any guarantee OF the fidelity of such
dynasty. Strong efforts, however. would have
been made to preserve Roman supremacy In
Mesopotamia and Roman ascendancy In Armo-

been passionately devoted to her. and when sho
grew up to girlhood he felt emboldencd to de-
