At the age of fourteen she was EN-.
geois family at Nice. Endowed with
u personal beauty, precocious in the
development of her mental powers, she
began to realize that both might be
used in such world as this for the
attainment of rank and power. No
maidenly dreams Of love and domestic
happiness were allowed to cross her
designs. and when she began to put
these into execution 1t was with the
one aim steadily In yiew-to rise to
position among the great ones OF the
world. But she began with circumspec-
ton. She was grossly ignorant. and
the first step upward was the improve
ment Of her education. She waited for
two years and then saw her first chance
and took It, Battista Pisanl fell in
love with her and asked her to be mar
ried to him.
He was only a 'practiclen," u ma
son, but he was man somewhat su-
perior to his environment In scholar

portunity She took it. She took him
also, perforce. In other words, while
posing before him and his neighbors
as his devoted wife, secretly she went
to him as his pupil. never for moment
deviating from her own straight line
OF vision and letting no opportunity
slip by which she might acquire that
education requisite TO the attainment
OF her ultimate purpose. Her husband
was devoted to her and delighted to
see the aptitude his beautiful young
wife displayed In the requirement OF
knowledge In remarkably short time
he could teach her no more; she knew
as much as he did Then II was that
another side OF her character was dis

he realized that she was ambitious. pre-

whims and fancies; these his devotion
sought to satisfy. But she became ex'

SO, for her sake. he turned coiner. They
were then living In the country village
Of 'Apricala, a dangerous place In which

She went to Nice. Here she met the
