It was a pity the urchin should have

newspapers under his arm, made the

Shivering from the blasts, the boy,
about twelve years old, sought shelter
in an abandoned watchman's shanty
at the northern end of Jerome avenue,
the Bronx.
His days toll was over, and pre-
sumably he was waiting for a car to
convey him to his tenement home. He
was whistling, maybe to maintain his
courage, when something brushed
against his legs. A few plaintive
whines told the story. In a second he

Fifteen men, saying that they
would be the next victims, got behind
a bush with spears, and when the
tiger was driven up to them three of
the men rushed out with their
weapons.
"The tiger leaped from the dense

Guy Fawkes: And the "Gunpowder Plot"

Lord Monteagle, noted English
statesman. He sent Monteagle an
anonymous letter, begging him to
keep away from the opening Of Par
lament. Monteagle, not sure WEATHER
or not the warning was joke, show
ed it to the secretary of state. The
secretary laughed at it as hoax, but
was induced to show it to the king.
James (who was so cowardly that
the sight of sword used to make
him ill) fell into a frenzy of fear. On
the night Of Nov. he ordered Par
lament house searched. AS the
searchers neared the cellars they met
Guy Fawkes coming out. He was
seized before he could dart back and
the place was ransacked.
The sight of so large pile oil
wood reused suspicion. The wood
was cleared away and the gunpowdel
barrels were discovered. Fawkes
raving with helpless fury, strove in
vain to set fire to the gunpowder and
to die with his enemies. He was
overpowered and dragged before the
king. There he made surly, con
temptuous answers to all questions

men resolved to rid England of King
James, the royal family and Parlia-
ment as we'll by the very simple
mears Of destroying the whole lot at
one blow. Their plan was to fill the
cellars Of the House of Lords with
gunpowder. Then, on the day when
the King and his family should come
to ooen Parliament, to set match to
the powder and blow up every one in
the building.
Robert Catesby, Thomas Piercy and
eighteen others were IN the consp1r-
acy. They chose as the actual assas-
sin = brave, heartless soldier Of FIR
tune whose real name is said to have
been Guido Fox but who is known to
history as Guy Fawkes." No one
knows whether Fawkes was to re-
celve money for his deed or whether
he consented to do it through hatred
for King James.
Parliament was to meet on Novem-
Der 5, 1904. The king and most of
the royal family were to be there. At
a signal Fawkes was to light tho pow
de- train and was then to escape by
ship to Flanders. The other conspira-
TOYS were to kill or captrue any mem
bers of the royal family who did not
chance to be at Parliament's opening.
No one betrayed this plot, which
might have changed the history Of
the world. Yet 1t was discovered.
The discovery came about in an odd
way.
