THE STORY.

A WORLD conquest! Why not?
"A King Solomon asked himself the
question. A vision of greatness and
power had come to him, a vision of
one scepter over all the world and that
scepter his, a vision of conquest of the
nations to the east and the west OF his
kingdom, and he the triumphant con-
Queror.
Benaiah, the captain of the hosts Of
Israel, had been the first to suggest
the thought to him when the former
had urged an expedition against
Recon, who was then ruling at Damas-
Gus, and who was to be feared be-
cause of the enmity which he bore
King David. Solomon we'll remem-
bered the stirring campaign of his Ia
Their which had made of Recon an un-
relenting enemy. The latter had been
n of the chief warriors of Hada-
dezer, king of Zobah, and had escaped
with a company of men when David
had conquered the land and had killed
Hadadezer. At that time Recon had
sworn to be revenged upon King
David, but the opportunity had not
come, and Benaiah, thinking that
Recon might plan an expedition
against the new king, Solomon, pro-
posed that the armies of Israel pro-
coed against him.
And as an outgrowth of the sug-
gested campaign had come the broad
er vision Of a world conquest. Why
step at the conquest over Recon?
why not extend the borders of Israel
to the very ends of the earth? Why
not signalize the beginning of his
reign with a brilliant series OF mill
tary expeditions, such as had marked
the first years rule of the kings of
other lands In former ages?
King David. his father, had left him
. strong army, which was already
feared by all the nations about, and it
was but natural that he should be am
bilious to have its powers further ex.
tended. And where was there a ma.
ton that had such e mighty warrior an
was Benaiah? Had not the fame OF
his deeds gone abroad, SO that 1t was
known everywhere how he had met
IN single-handed combat and had slain
no Hon-like men Of Moab? And was
not also known how he had gone
JIoun in the time Of snow and had
hahn il its lair q fierce lion, which

Costume Suggested Would Have Made
Youth Look Like Circus Freak.

Not long ago a large clothing house
in New York received a letter from
the remote southwest to this effect:
"What is the proper dress for .

The clerk who opened the mail re-
ferred the inquiry to the livery depart
ment, and the head of that department
dictated q brief reply:
Bottle green coat, fawn-colored
trousers, with top boots. silk hat and
cockade. We can make you prices"
In about a week came a plaintive
note:

get married, but can't you suggest
something a little less elaborate?"

Queen When Seven Months Old.

When. on the Sth of December, 1912,
James was informed of the birth of his
daughter at Linlithgow castle, he re-
marked:
''The dell go with it the CROWN: it
came with a lass andll go with a lass"
referring to Marjorie. the daughter OF
Robert Bruce. who married a Stuart and
founded the dynasty Of that name. Eight
days after Mary was born her father
died and when she wcs seven months
old she became Queen of Scotland. Be-
fore she was five years old her uncle
Henry VIII of England. demanded her
betrothal to his son. afterWard Edward
vi of England, and sent an army to
Scotland to compel the engagement. but
Mary was hurried away to France by her
mother. accompanied by an appropriate
suite and 1.-The Four Maries,'' playmates
and companions. whose lives were des-
tined to be closely interviewer with her
own-Mary Beaton. Mary Seaton, Mary
Livingston and Mary Fleming.
The next ten years she spent under the
guardianship of her uncle. the Cardinal of
Lorraine and he gave the closest atten-
ton to her education. In 1868, when she
was sixteen years Old she was married to
the Crown Prince of France at the Cattle
dral of Notre Dame in Paris. Before she
was seventeen she was crowned Queen of
France at Rheims. and five months later

Her marriage with Boutwell, was the
most shameful act in her career. 1t
took place secretly. only a few months
after his murder of Darnley, and Boutwell,
was compelled to hurry the divorce courts
in order to get rid of his first wife be-
fore marrying his queen. Mary's defend
ers contend that Boutwell,, VINO was

to marry him. That theory Is not sus-
tanned by the facts. She made him Earl
of Orkney, in order that her husband
might have a higher rank, and the let

before the murder of Darnley showed
that their relations were not SO innocent

Made Captive, Then Beheaded.
In the meantime Queen Mary was made
a prisoner by the Scottish mobiles and

first in one castle and then another until
after nineteen years. she was tried for
treason, sentenced to death. beheaded at

The charges upon which she was con-
victed related to her encouragement of
and association with wild and reckless
conspiracy to dethrOne Elizabeth and
place the crown of England upon her
beautiful head.
Her defenders insist that she was the
victim of conspiracy rather than Eliza
beth. and the fact that the other persons
involved were never punished. while she
suffered the supreme penalty, seems to
give some ground for that theory. Dur
ing her imprisonment she became engaged
to the Duke of Norfolk and promised to
marry him if he would set her free. He
was beheaded for his love, and many
