1t she could only enjoy her outdoor
life as she used to, without any one
noticing her and with her husband at
her side, to be called Carl instead Of
Haakon.
She calls him that anyway; but she
wants to hear everybody else speak
of him by the familiar name, and she
longs to hear herself called Harry by
the voices of her own family, as she
used to be when her father, King Ed
ward, was alive and was skimping out
few thousand pounds year from
his royal income to keep her from be-
Ing too hard up over in Denmark.
She is different from her mother,
Queen Alexandra, who has been NOV
ing heaven and earth to retain some
vestiges Of the royal authority she
welded before Queen Mary so merci-
lessly relegated her to dowagership
and obscurity. She is different from
Queen Amelia of Portugal, who braved
assassination to hold her tottering
throne for the sake Of Manuel, the one
son the assassin left to her; different
from 1taly's queen, who assumed a
throne in the face Of royal contempt
and popular dissatisfac and fought
her battle for respect and obedience
through years Of suspicion and unhnd
criticism; different from almost all
other queens, who have lived and, hav-
ing once refgned, have abandoned the
royal prominence and prerogatives
only at the bayonet point-and even
then If we recollect, Marie Antoinette
remained resolved to wait for the gull
lotine.

did everything in his power to re-
lieve her suffering. He supplied her
with appetizing food and at the risk of
his life delivered messages to her
friends. During the long siege of her
trial he faithfully served her in every
manner, and when the Inquisition final
ly condemned her to death at the
stake he was heart-broken. The bish-
op Of Beauvais ordered her Bible and
rosary to be destroyed, denying her
the consolation of religion, so far as
his power extended. Crushed and hui
inflated, she awaited her terrifying
fate. The keeper, at her request, pro-
cured a rosary from sympathetic
priest, who was powerless to aid the
maid. She was quite overcome by
the keepers devotion, and blessed him
many times.
Finally, the day set for the awful
event arrived and the innocent vic.
tim of superstition was led forth from
her prison tower to pay the price of
her service to Charles VII. of France.
When the light had been applied to
the fagots and the flames rose about

ed a priest to remove it, but as he
drew near the sanity Jeanne the
flames formed forbidding barrier,
which no one could brave.
The rosary is the cherished treasure
of the little woman, who is the only
surviving member of her family. She
claims that the rosary possesses the
power of consolation, however great
the sorrow may be.
Dear Jean, you should know her!
She is the personifcation of peace and
repose.

- TO be permitted to break into the
10 round game in New York, it means,
probably, that Johnson will round out
his career over the short bout route
and will lay down his laureIs prac-
tically untarnished when he elects to
retire.
That the New York prospect ap-
pealed to Johnson is evident to any
thinking man A day or two before he
boxed Jim Flynn, the champion vir-
tually decided on trip to Australia.
He had offers of matches with Lang
ford and McVea in that far land. and
told some of the correspondents at
Las Vegas that all the details had been
agreed upon, and that the would leave
for the antipodes in September.
Something in the Flynn match
caused johnson to pause. Possibly he
discovered that long distance fights
had become more irksOme than for
merly. Anyhow, the talk about the
Australian matches was quietly shelved
and the announcement made that
Johnson was looking forward to 4 Sc
ries of 10 round bouts in New York.
