FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
The Emperor Of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck Of
caractacus.

One Of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by Julius
Caesar was Caractacus OF the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drove out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler Of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained. and the emperor roared to
try to frighten Caractacus. but the
brave chief never 10 much az quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
"You night to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves. I
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart of the en-
peror. and the ruler Of the Romans
resolved to see II Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one Of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where tho popu-
lace gathered. He was told that II he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered tho
metal Of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor Of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.
