upon the king when the queen called out
frantically to Signor Carroll to save her
husband The loyal minister needed not
this bidding, but sprang to the ground
and caught hold of Passanante, receiving
at the same time severe wound on the
thigh which was intended for the king The
captain of the Royal Curassiers then Sc
cured Passanante and rode away with him
on his horse. He was condemned to DEATH
but the king committed his sentence to
penal servitude for life. He had been a
cook, and was twenty nine years of age.
Signor Carroll was confined to his bed for
some days afterward. The king visited him.
and with most profuse expression of his
gratitude conferred upon him the gold
medal for military valor. The whole affair
awakened the greatest concern and SYM
pathy in the minds Of the Italian people
generally, and when the king returned to
Rome there was wonderful scene. The
senators, deputies and magistrates met him
at the station on his arrival, and there were
great festivities.
Attempt to XIII Him.
This was not the only occasion upon
which his life was attempted, for in April
of 1897. when he was driving out to the
Capanells race course, a workman struck
at him with a dagger The king, however,
escaped without any injury, and the man
was arrested. and, like, Passanante, con-
demned to spend the rest Of his days in
prison.
An incident worthy OF note IN the king q
history Is that when, in 1884. the cholera
fiend was working terrible havoc in Naples,
the king. against the earnest advice of his
ministers, proceeded there and rendered all
the assistance in his power. His heroic con-
duct was much admired.

Gus mustache made him look just what he
was-one of Italy's bravest sons and most
distinguished soldiers.
Reasons for His Popularity.
AS a king of action Humbert of Italy was
outdone only by the kaiser. and as a mark
for the assassin he was as popular as a
sultan or shah. Why there should have
been attempts on his life was a puzzle. ex-
cept that there are certain among the
Italians who had a bitter dislike for the
great-hearted ruler. He was Woodworking,
brave, triie conceited, fond of the yiyas
Of his people and ever ready to walk into
danger when policy or private feeling SO
