mother, brother and dear friends, the
leaving her own sunny Italy for the cold
and gloomy Isle of England, caused her
great agony of heart, and for months she
fought with all her strength against the
marriage, which she thought could bring
her only unhappiness. Never till after
she had been married to James by proxy
did Mary Beatrice behold him.
The path of the Inflated James was a
winding one, Fate smiling and frowning
upon him by turns. At the death of his
brother, Charles II. OF Great Britain, he
succeeded to the throne. This occurred
In 1885. But his reign was a short and
stormy one. for, owing to the religious
conflict then raging In Britain, he was
overthrow during the third year Of his
power. With his queen he fed to France,
and Parliament settled the crown Jointly
on the Prince OF Orange and his wife.
Mary, the daughter of james ii. by his
first wife. Heartbroken and a victim of
disease, James died In exile In 1701.
In the year 171S Mary Beatrice, after a
life of dlsappointments-at In her
last years by poyerty-died, after a long
Illness. She passed away In France, her
mnladies being cancer and rheumatic govt.
OF her several children only one was
living at the time OF her death-the young
Prince of Wales, whose career was as
checkered as her own.

Mary Beatrice, Queen Consort of James
H., King of Great Britain and Ireland,
and last of the Inflated Stuart kings. was
born October 5, 1868, at Modena, Italy.
When a little child her father, Prince of
Modena, died, leaving her and her young
brother In the care of their mother, Laura
Martinozzi, Roman lady of noble family.
As child Mary Beatrice was most
carefully reared-too carefully In some
respects, for she was subjected to the
strictest discipline, her mother refusing
her such little table dellcacies as cakes
and sweetmeats, through fear that tho
child might become gluttonous. In after
years Mary Beatrice, In speaking of her
own childhood. said that she did not ap-
prove OF keeping children on such formal
footing with their parents. In regard to
her own little ones, she liked not TO
hold them at such awful distance from
her as she had been held by her own
mother, for she wished her daughter to
regard her as Il friend and companion
one to whom she could contlde every
thought of her heart"
Mary Beatrice became the bride of the
Duke of York, afterwards King of Grent
Britain as James II. She gave her con.
sent most reluctantly, for she shuddered
Mt the thought of giving herself to Wild
over Of 40, who was the father of grown
children. Also, the parting from her

Snip was q plain little dog, of no par
ticular breed-just a common mongrel, as
everybody, save his owner, said on seeing
him. But his owner, Burten Thomas
commonly known as "Freckles" -loved
and respected Snip beyond expression.
To Freckles this plain little four-egger
and bobtailer was the greatest dog in the
world. And when 1t came to question

canine family. The way he loved his
young master was most beautiful to see.
No matter how dirty the hands and face

same. No matter how much Freckies
missed his lessons at school or shirked
his chores at home, or played truant to
go swimming, Snip never lost patience
with him. but trotted beside him, wag-
ging the stump of a tail vigorously and
declaring with his eyes Il love you, dear
Master Freckles, more than all else In

thoughtless rscnpades Snip proved to be
his only sympathetic friend, for the

ALL BAD boys are much afraid
OF COLLINS in the air;
They think they fly about at night.
And peep In everywhere.
They think that COLLINS, great and small,
Do hide beneath the bed;
And while boys sleep do sally forth
To poke them in the head.
And pull their hair, and punch their eyes,
And twist their very toes;
And jerk their knees right out of Joint.
Well, p'rhaps they dol-Who knows?
But fact 1t is, and proven, too,
That GOOD boys never fear;
They know that COLLINS don't exist,
And therefore can't come near.

chard, the prisoner witness upon whom
the state of Idaho chiefly relies to prove
its charge that an inner circle of the
Western Federation of Miners planned
the murder Of Governor Steunenberg.
broke his long silence today and for
more than half an hour discussed him
self and his Imprisonment with repre-
sentatives Of The Associated Press.
Orchard denied that he had received
mistreatment during his long cOnfine-
ment; denied that force had been used
to secure the statements he had made
and denied that Detective Mcfarland
and the officers of the state have prom
lSed him immunity for his confessed
crime or reward for the value of his
alleged confession. Orchards manner
and conversation tended strongly to
confirm the assertion that he has been
rcconverted to and is deep in the zeal
of Christianity.
Orchard is perfectly sound in body,
clear and quick of brain. If there was
ever anything in the reports that he
was breaking in health and mind, there
is nothing now to give them a shadow
Of suggestion.
The one condition imposed on todays
interview by Warden Whitney of the
Idaho penitentiary, was that there
must be no discussion of the ease"
ana the prisoner himself asked that
the same condition be observed.

an end the strike of longshoremen in

fact that he was coming here from
