SHE ALMOST REMEMBERED,

Little Josephine, aged four, was in.

Taking the book to her mother, she
inquired who it was.
THAT is Dickens, DEAR" said her
mother.
The picture was wonderfully fasctn-
ating to the little girl, and when her
big sister came from college in the
evening she ran and got the book,
turned to the picture, and said:

Ihey suffered the usual fate of pawns.
And that fate forms one Of the saddest
little love stories in all history.
Ihe girl was Lady Jane Grey. daugh-

innocent charm and simplicity of a

ooy KING. Edward W., son of Henry
VIII. and Jane Seymour. Edward was
sickly lad; quite under the influence
OF his chief councillor, the duke of
northumberland. The duke was willy
politician, and sketched out decided
~ clear plan for his own family's ad-
vancement. He bullied Edward into
bequeathins the English crown to
Lady Jane. Then he married Jane to
his own son, Lord Guilford Dudley.
The young couple were very much in
love with each other and were unusu-
ally happy in their brief married life.
But their love and happiness did not
greatly interest Northumberland. He
had other matters to think of.
Soon after making Lady Jane his

cumberland was
more or less responsible for his fatal
illness. AT Edwards death the duke
forced the royal council to proclaim
Jane queen of England. This was
rank injustice. For the two daughters
OF Henry VIII.-Mary and Elizabeth
were still living. The crown belonged
by right to Mary, the daughter of
'atherlne OF Aragon, and elder of the
two half-sisters. Jane realized this
and tried to refuse the unwelcome
honor of becoming queen. On her
knees she begged to be allowed to re-
main in private life. But Northumber-
land explained away her scruples. He
persuaded her young husband that
Jane was the rightful heir to the
throne; and Dudley added his argu.
ments to the dukes. So it was that
Lady Jane unwillingly consented to
her husbands plea. She ssarfully left
her country home and permitted her.

obcdient in all things, she thought that
II Dudley wished her to take such
step it could not be wrong.
On July 10, 1853, the girl began her
reign-a reign that lasted just ten
days. She was Is years old and had
no knowledge of statecraft. North
cumberland did the actual ruling. Jane
and Dudley were mere figureheads.

land.
Jane was overjoyed at being able to
lay aside the crown and scepter she
hated. She rejoiced at the idea of re-
firing to her country home with the
young husband she adored, and set
Ting down as a quiet rustic matron.
But Mary would not allow this. She
felt so insecure upon her new throne
that she dared not leave Lady Jane
and her husband at liberty. SO the
girl and Dudley were arrested and cast
into prison. There for months they
remained.
It is possible that Mary-merciless
as she afterward proved herself to he
might have spared these two inno-
cent children's lives. But a revolt,
headed by Sir Thomas Wyatt and
James father, so frightened her that
she ordered the young prisoners be-
headed. Her orders were carried out
with needless brutality. A kindly Of
f1cer, however, offered to grant Jane q
last interview with Dudley. The girl
refused.

"0"~'e"y' send him a kiss
of farewell. I should like to receive it
from his lips, but l could not endure
the grief of the parting. Our enemies
must not be able to say we were
afraid to die"
Accordingly, the lovers did not meet
again. Dudley's head was struck off
and his lifeless, bleeding body was car
ried past the window of his wife's cell.
Jane kissed her hand to it, through
the bars, crying:
Farewell! The best part of you is
already in Heaven, where I shall soon
join you, never more to leave you!"
An hour later she herself was led
forth to die To those around her she
said:
If England's welfare demands my
death it is better that an innocent per-
son should suffer than that the states
safety should be risked."
Thus, on February IL, 1854, this 49,
yearold victim of the iron game of
politics laid down her pretty, innocent
life, dying on the same headsman's
block as had Anne Boleyn, and outliv-

A 21-year-Old boy-the idol of poet
ical ltaly-fell in love with a woman
nine years older than himself. She
was a princess; he mere poet. He
was destined to pay terrible price
for his presumption in daring to lose
his heart to so exalted a parsonage.
The young lover was Torquato Tas-
so. son of a brilliant, unfortunate Ita-
lian nObleman. Tass0 was born in
1914, at an age when Italy was rising
far above medieval gloom to the
glo.y of literary renown. He was a
poet. AS mere child his genius drew
upon him the wonder and admiration
OF every one. In early manhood he
became an hOnored member of the
suite of Duke Alfonso of Ferrara He
had already written poems that have
become immortal CJerusalem Liber-
ated' Is the foremost of them), and
was the central figure of the gay
court Handsome, accomplished, at
tractive. he won all hearts.
Alfonso, Tassos patron, had a beau
tiIul sister, Leonora DEste. While
she was much older than Tasso, her
delight in poetry and her boundless
~. 49,, admiration for his
49,. o-:..... own writings
quickly turned the
young genius head. Nor was she deaf
to his suit. Apart for his personal
attractions. the fact that half The
women in Ferrara adored him and
sought to win his favor helped IT, fan
the princess fancy into ardent love.
Chroniclers of the time differ as to
the exact course of the romance Many
of its incidents have been hushed up
or denied. Here Is one of the various
versions:
The duke. finding out at last that
Tasso was seriously in love with Leo
nora. suspected that she had encour-
aged the poet. Fearing lest her broth
er's anger might fall upon the prin-
cess SHOULD this suspicion be verified,
Tasso devised daring course to draw
the whole blame upon himself. He
pretended to be insane-in the hope
that Alfonso might think the love for
Leonora a part Of his madness. This
plan meant the ruin of Tasso's high
position at court, but the poet never
the less carried it out. He burst into
senseless RACES, quarreled noisily,
tried to murder a servant, and in a
dozen other ways led Alfonso to be.
lteve him a lunatic. The duke sent
him to a monastery to recover his sup
posedly scattered wits. Tasso, dis
guised as a shepherd, escaped and 1ied
to his sister at Sorrento. where, for
the time, he was safe.
But his love for Leonora gave him
no peace of mind. He could not live
out of her sight. So back he came
to Ferrara BY this time. however.
Alfonso seems to have discovered the
truth. Furious at the trick played
upon him by Tasso's imposition and
equally enraged that Leonora should
stoop to lavish her royal affections on
a poet. the duke plotted revenge. He
