WOMAN POSED AS
AN EMPEROR'S WIFE
Claimed She Wanted Posses

MANY ITALIANS FLEECED

Who Said She was Maxi

Boston, May 14-A woman claimed to
be Carlotta, the wife of the Maximilan.
former Emperor of Mexico, and brother
of the present Emperor of Austria. has,
according to the Herald, left the city
after securing some $4,000 from members
of tire italian colony in this city on the
pretense that she was the rightful claim
ant of the Austrian throne.
She is the Herald says, being sought
by over 100 residents of the north end
district, who for almost eight years have
been paying her money to enable her, as
they supposed, to gain possession of the
Austrian throne, upon which event taking
place, she promised that those who helped
her would be made ministers and mobiles,
and be given vast estates. One ' oman,
the wife of a prominent Italian, gave
her $4,000 on the strength of the pr 9mise
that she should be made duchess. An
organ grinder contributed a few hundred
dollars, all his savings, on the under
standing that he should be made court
musician. Others contributed tens and
hundreds of dollars on similar assurances

respondent in red cloth and tinsel and
graciously allowed them to kiss her hand
on the occasions when they brought their
tributes of money. At each side of the
throne stood courtlers, and a body guard
who clanked stage arms.
Mysterious secrets, such as would
overthrow the present Austrian ruler,
were credited to this woman When she
appeared in Boston eight years ago IL
was mysteriously whispered among the
few in the north end that Carlotta, sister,
in-law of Emperor Francis Joseph. was in
Boston In disguise, having escaped from
Brussels, where she had for many years
been confined in an asylum.
Italians are fairly familiar with Aus
trian history and when they were told
that Carlotta had come to collect a few
faithfoul followers, on whom she could
rely, and enough money to return to
Austria and use in connection with her
all-powerful secrets, that those who aided
her would be back. when she gained the
throne in royal favor, and they believed
their fortunes were made.
Carlotta's aides in this vast enterprise
were number of select and dashing
young men OF various nationalties, among
whom was one Morarity who represent
ed himself to be the crown Prince Rli-
doph the eldest son of Emperor Francis
Joseph, who in January, 1899 shot him

Recently the Italians were getting rather
| suspicious and began to hint openly that
Carlotta and the henchmen were DELAYING
matters. Recent visits to the throne room
disclosed that the women had left.

A
PORTRAIT
F444,t44444*&x&x4s444s4%k<<

r WO children, a boy and a girl,
stood before a painting that hung
upon the wall. The boy gazed with oil
his soul in his eyes, dimly conscious,
perhaps, of what the picture would
some day mean to him. 1t represented
a soldier mounted on a black charger,
and the mans face was eager, ardent
and earnest With sword in his uplift-
ed hand he seemed urging men to bat
tie.
The little girl indifferently glanced
at the portrait from time to time. She
had seen it so many times, and then,
too, patriotism had not yet awakened
in her undisciplined little heart. She
was proud in the thought. however,
that she possessed something of alb
sorbing interest to her new neighbor.
Finally, she began to relate the story
she had heard so often.
"You see, it's a really true man, and
he painted himself on papa's horse.
Those are the clothes he wore in bat
tie"
''Humph!" said the boy scornfully,
looking at her with the superiority de-
rived from his sex and his four years
seniority. Those aren't fighting
clothes, Lucille! He's on parade"
Lucille wondered vaguely what that
might be and then begged him to
come and play"
They played for many a day to come,
and then the boys parents. moved to
another city.
Seven years later he came back for a
visit. He had now attained the great
age of II and when he had met his
former playmate, who had just proudly
entered upon her teens" that long
looked-for period, he said most con-
descendingly: f."
why, this must be little Lucille Fell
toni"
Straightway Lucille felt she hated
him and they spent a few weeks of
turbulent companionship in strife.
Il thought you were going to be a
soldier" she said one day, like the
man on horseback in the pictured"
Whats the use of being soldier?"
he laughed. There are no wars. I'd
rather be the man that painted the pic
ture than the soldier he represents
Let's go and look at it again.
Papa gave it away-to the man
who gave him the horse"
Ten years passed before Paul Willis
saw his little playmate again. 1t was
evening of a summer day at fash
ionable watering place. He had just
arrived and was instantly surrounded

THE MARAUDER.

There came a beggar to my door,
A comedy little lad.
With sun-kissed hair and azure eyes,
With pensive mien, and sad.
So meek he seemed-so poor-alone,
/ wept at such ill-faring-
RegardeZ! When he entered IN
He proved a robber daring.
He barred the door, he barred the pane,
Defenseiess quite he found mel,
A prisoner in my own demesne,
With braggart oaths he boun0 me-
He Knocked my tears, he stole my heart,
With jest and gibe to flout me;
With rose-leaf strung on rose-ieat req
He wove his chains about me.
Quoth he: Such sorry garb as your.
No thief would deiSn to borrow!
He stripped me of MY Cynic's robe
OF Loneliness and Sorrow.
He found my store of Doubts and Fears,
Made loot to merry measure;
He scattered far to left and right
A hoard of doleful treasure.
He sealed my lips with kisses three.
And swore he'd stay no longer,
But though he made to loose my chalns
l felt the links grow stronger.
Az, strong as steel. these shackles sweet
| would not break nor sever

Love holds me fast forever.

the shoulders and upper arms, are quite

ally made of dress material. Through
out the summer they will be feature

they will be popular.

their one-time vogue. 1t would seem as
though the dealers were struggling to

The high corselet style, fastened at one
side and closely fitted, is to hold over
this season, and the new coats are built

seems but continuation Of the girdle.

places where suits are sold, and re-
marked several attractive little jackets
