An Excuse For a Pardon,

When the stern Duke Of wellington
was prime minister under George w.
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con-
SANITY outwitted him. One of his
earliest Official acts was to bring be-
fore her a court martial death SEN
tence which he expected her to sign as
a matter of course. A soldier was to
be executed for desertion. and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her eyes,
full Of tears, to his face, saying:
"Have you nothing to say In behalf
Of this poor MANI"
Nothing" said the duke, standing
at attention like one Of his own pri.
Yates; she has deserted three times"
"Oh, your grace, think again." plead
ed the queen, as II she were asking
for the life Of her dearest friend.
well, your majesty, he certainly Is
a bad soldier, but there was somebody
who spoke for his good character. He
may be a tolerably good fellow in civil
life"
"Oh. thank you," said the queen In
heartfelt tones, and before the aston
ished duke could utter a word Of pro.
test she had written across the paper
the word Hardened"
