Scots broke forth again they would
meet some examples Of military SCI
ence and not view only the coat tails
of the queens favorite generals. No
reply coming from the king, l mounted
my horse and, with only one follower,
set forth for London. Pushing on
through darkness on the second night
Of my journey, 1 heard the galloping
Of a horse behind me and drew rein,
fully expecting that the greedy Scots,
asking more than could be allowed,
had taken to the field again. Good
friend 1 cried, what news, that you
ride so fastY Great news he an
swered, breathless. "A parliament Is
summoned, and, as I am an elected
member, 1 ride in haste. Before the

of terror.

rested on his speed, and thus learned
how my advice had been scorned.
When met the king he was all panic
and regret He had cOnjured up the
devil easily enough, but knew not how
to allay him. He bewailed his mistakes
and called himself the most unfortu-
nate of monarchs, eager to please, yet
constantly offending. He was in con-
trite mood, but that soon changed.
''Tis my head they want l said. DO

That was yesterday. You heard him

per.
God knows! Had I the untram-
meled ordering of events would strike
terror into parliament, as struck ter
ror into the Scots or the Irish, but
but if after that there was similar
sneaking underhand surrender, why,
then the countryman would have my
head, as he hoped. 1 fear there are
troublous times ahead"
Tired with long converse and the
jolting of the vehicle, STAFFORD sank
into a troubled sleep, from which he
was at last awakened by the stopping

WOMAN'S INTEREST
IN LIFE INSURANCE
From March Madame).

MNE of the most vital problems of the day and
w one that receives possibly less consideration
than any other from American women, is the
question of life insurance Thousands of homes to-
day are conducted scale which leaves little or
nothing to be put for the inevitable rainy ay
which is quoted often that it become trte OF
course woman knows that and her husband
must save something from their earnings, a more
or less futile attempt is made month by month and
year by year to lay aside reserve in of
How difficult and almost impossible this is thousands
realizes that his life is which should be
sured we'll as his furniture. his house, stable.
1t is obvious that life insurance operates directly
the benefit of women, and it u.s. therefore, more
extraordinary that the woman is often the hardest
to convince of the necessity of insurance for her
band prominent life insurance agent remarked
the other day: 1T is easy enough to interest
ried man in Life Insurance, but betide agent
when the wife is introduced into the discussion"
Many women look upon Life Insurance a per-
sonal extravaganza on the part of the husband,
stopping to realize that it is the wife, and the wife
alone, that it benefits in ninety nine out of
hundred.
Many European countries have taken drastic
methods in support of Life Insurance, and a system
of compulsory Insurance has been adopted by law,
whereby every married is compelled to carry an
amount of protection for his family in proportion
mis- earning power. In this country there is growing
feeling that such step is necessary and Madame
will have more to say in future issues this vital
subject The prospect of young marrying and
children being brought into the world without the
forethought that is shown for the two three
hundred dollars worth of furniture ne owns, has
aroused sentiment that will be heard louder and
louder until public spirit is awakened in the matter.
