ed payment of her foreign debt, a
debt owing to the three great powers
taking part in the convention; and it
was ostensibly on redress the allies
were bent. Pledges were signed that
there was TO be no upsetting of the
Mexican government, no intention of
acquiring new territory; but the en-
peror of the French, Napoleon Ill,
had in mind from the start the con
version of Mexico into a feudal mon
archy of which he was to be over
lord.
The allies started off amicably
enough. but soon France set up
claims for redress that aroused the
disgust of the other nations. She
took up the claims of a certain jock
err, a Swiss house that had loaned the
former Mexican government ST50,000,
and now declined to be satisfied with
less than $15.O0O,OO0. 1t was apparent
that France WAS looking for trouble,
so Spain and England withdrew from
the convention and left her to her
devices. French troops overran por-
tions of the country, battles were
fought and short-lived triumph
won. Napoleon understood the dan
ger of offering the crown to a French
prince, so chose for his puppet Arch
duke Macmillan, brother of the en-
peror of Austria. The archduke, a
man of high character, was not at
first willing to accept the proffered
crown, but finally his objections were
overruled and he started on his i'll
starred adventure, another unhappy
one of that unhappy house of Haps-
burg.
In 1862 Napoleon's Mexican empire
came into being. In 1864 Macmillan
landed at Vera Cruz and took up,
with French troops for protection,
the burden of the empire. The Unit
ed States from time to time quoted
the Monroe doctrine to the usurpers,
but was so concerned with troubles
of her own she could not quote Wig
orously until the end of the civil war.
Then American troops were fronted
toward the Mexican frontier, and
Emperor-Maker Napoleon retreated.
lhis was in 1867.
For 67 days after the departure of
the French, Macmillan was able TO
hold -out. Most courageously he
played his part, but the odds were

decided TO bury the Ratchet

1t was in 1861, England, France and
Spain planned as joint undertaking
an expedition against Mexico, ito de-
mand from the Mexican authorities
more efficacious protection for the
persons and properties of their (the
allied sovereigns) subjects, as well as
fulfillment of the obligations con
tracted toward their majesties by the
republic of Mexico"
This agreement, known as the Mex
lean convention, was a just one as
originally laid down in writing. Mex

heavy against him. He was especial
ly unfortunate in his advisers.
Through the influence of French
officer he decreed that all who resist
ed his authority in arms should be
shot. Mexican officers, among them
famous general. were shot down
like beasts. In the end, of course,
the MeNicans won. Macmillan was
taken prisoner. tried by court-mar'Sa'
and condemned to death.
Strenuous efforts were made ey
Prince and Princess Salm Salm in his
behalf. The prince was an old school
fellow of Maximilian's; the princess a
warm admirer. The princess knelt at
the feet of Diaz, OF Juarez, late pres
ident, and pleaded that his judges
pass no heavier sentence than ban
ishment; and after the dire sentence
WAS passed she implored pardon. But
TO no avail.
On the morning Of June 10, 1869,
Macmillan was led TO the "Hill OF
the Bells" at Queritero, where n de-
tail Of soldiers stood ready to carry
out their grim orders. The emperor
was calm and gentle. He put a gold
piece into the hand of each soldier;
to the officer who begged his forgive
ness for the deed about to be com
mitted he said: MY son. you but do
your duty And with his last
thought, word and deed for others,
he took the place assigned him and
awaited, unafraid, the final move
ment. 1t was not long; the soldiers
did their work without bungling.

lips. Macmillan fell.

August The Eighth Month.

August, like July. owes its name to
the Roman Ce airs, the Emperor Angus
tus having followed in the footsteps OF
his illustrious predecessor by appropriat-
ing a month TO himself. Formerly called
Sextilis. OF the sixth month. when Julius
Caesar changed the calendar it still con-
tinued Sextilis and had thirty days. while
February had twenty. nine. and in leap
year thirty days. To crafty the vanity
OF Augustus. one day was taken by the
obsequious Senate from February. and
added TO August. so as to make this
month equal in extent and dignity TO
July. In this month Ce AR Augustus
took possession of his first consulate, re-
duced Egypt, and put an end to civil war.

orable, a man of brain and of heart,
MaXimilian was fitted for better
things than would naturally befall
the tool of Louis Napoleon. Napoleon
said to Macmillan in Paris in 1868:
II have carved you an empire out of
a block of silver" In 1866 Maximilian
said TO BazaIne, commander in chief
of the French army in Mexico: You
have placed me between dishonor and
death, and my choice is made"
Carlotta's part in Maximilian's work
in Mexico was no small one. In 1859
Macmillan had married Carlotta,
daughter of Leopold L.. king of Bel
gium. Beautiful, good, talented,
trained in statecraft and in matters
of court etiquette, Carlotta was a fit
ting mate for the archduke. In ambi-
ton, too, Carlotta equaled her hus-
band, and it is limited hers was the
deciding voice when the decision was
pending in regard to the Mexican en-
perorship. Mexico under Macmillan
and Carlotta underwent a most bene-
fetal change. Their reign was marked
by much in the way of internal inn
provements, in the adornment of the
capital, progress in education and
many public benefactions. Carlotta
journeyed to disaffected districts ana
by her charm won them to friendli-
mess. Childless herself, she had
named as heir TO the throne grand
son of the former Mexican emperor
With courage and decision she helped
in the settlement of the dispute be-
tween church and state.
When the American enunciation of
the Monroe doctrine began to re-
sound in the ears of Napoleon, and
Maximilian's throne to totter. Carlot-
ia undertook her great mission; her
journey to Europe and the appeal to
Napoleon, TO the Hapsburg house and
to the pope. Never again did Maxi
milan and Carlotta meet. Napoleon
gave her no hope, Austria had naught
to give her but GOODNESS, the pope
could give only priestly consolation.
Heartbroken, the empress went in
sane, hopelessly insane. She was
taken to Belgium, TO the home of her
youth; and there she is confined to-
day, waiting and watching for the
coming of the emperor But Maxi
milan lies motionless in the imperial
