Iolanthe flushed and her dear eyes
wavered before my gaze. don't know
quite how it happened. but suddenly
had my dream in my arms--my unre-
sisting, perfect. red Tipped dream-and
was quite mad with delight.
Then presently she cried out that /
must never let anything come between
us.
"'Nor height nor depth nor any other
creature" said reverently.
"'Nor any other creature" she re-
peated after me and made me say 1t
every little while all the rest of that
wonderful day. and did not tell her
about my fortune after all. though /
had intended to. When you come to
think OF 1t. money is a sordid thing to
discuss when two folks are quaffing
nectar and nibbling ambrosia.
The next evening went TO the re-
ception and was presented to the lady
of riches. 1t seemed to me that all the

place where there were splash of
water and quiet and heavy perfume Of
flowers. There in the dim light she
stood, slender as an English laburnum
tree, swaying in her yellow silken robes
toward me. Her hands. weighted with
Jewels, were held out to me. Her
mouth that had kissed was smiling
at me-was saying:
"'Nor any other creaturep"
I stood there staring at this wonder

of and all said was:
"Barefooted came the beggar maid,
Before the king Cophetual''
Which. considering the circum-
stances. could hardly have been more
absurd. =
Iolanthe's laugh rang out; then she
came closer to me. and her eyes grew

AssAsslNATIONs.
Crimes That Have Changed the His
tory of the World.

Grimes That Have Changed the His
tory Of the World.
Step by step throughout the worlds
history assassination has been factor
In determining the course of events
and in lnolding the life of nations.
Frequently the assassin's weapon
which sent a ruler to death has sent
upon the worlds stage a successor
whose career set irrevocable milestones
upon the pathway of the peoples of the
world Especially was this true in
those days when conquest was the
guiding star of the rulers of the world.
Probably one of the most important
and early assassinations was that of
Philip of Macedon. which occurred in
the year 1886 B. G. Not only did it ter
inmate the career of one of the most
remarkable men of his time. but 1t led
to the accession of Alexander the
Great, an event which very likely
would not have taken place at all had
Philip continued to rule and had him
self selected the successor to his throne.
Philip of Macedon then was at the
height of his power. and the battle of
Chaeronea had made him the undisput-
ed master of Greece. When leaving
the theater in which his sister had been
united in marriage to Alexander, king
of Epirus, man sprang toward the
ruler and thrust sharp, short sword
into his side. As the assassin ran to-
ward a swift horse his sandal caught
In vine stalk, and his pursuers killed
him with their spears and tore him to
pieces.
OIympias, his former wife, was said
to have aided in the conspiracy. This
assassination, one of the earliest in
point of time, bore strong resem-
] biance in its surroundings to that
which claimed President Abraham Lin
coins life. In both cases there was an
individual murderer, the scene was
theater, the act was done with incredi-
BILE audacity in the presence of large
| concourse of people, and the murderer
was crippled by a misstep after the
| fatal blow
In the history of ancient Rome there
| stands out one political assassination
which marks the first occasion on rec
ord in which the conflicting economical
interests of different classes in re-
public were settled by resort to the
weapon of the assassin. This was the
murder of Tiberius Gracious. which
soon was followed by the enforced sui
eide of his brother, Caius Gracious.
This deed was the direct result of the
formers attempt to enforce an agrarian
law passed as an act of justice to the

Peculiar ncure Stones

Occupying an isolated position on the
moors about I've or six miles above
Penzance. in Cornwall. peculiar trio
Of stones is to be seen. They are ar
ranged in a straight line. the two out
side ones being four feet high and up
