To Overthrow the OIigarchy

Israel had gone too far to retreat. He
made clean breast of it.
secret society had been formed among
the soldiers and sailors of Venice and
among the poorer citizens who could be

to overthrow the cligarchy. The whole
plot was revealed to the Doge.

Slaves to the Forty

How long have you been in the serv-
ice of the state?' asked the Doge.
Long enough to remember the siege
of Zara,' answered the man.
Then we are comrades" cried the
Doge. "Ah. I remember you. You were
appointed chief of the arsenal before /
came from Rome. The late Doge placed
you there. Are you much hurt?"
Il am hurt in my self-esteem' re-
piled the man.

"Justice-unto me for Justice? l can

"Yes--and which probably is now a

1T is probably, by thfs time, the
merry tune, of every galley slave who,
while he handles his oar, thanks God
he is not a smashed dotard-like the
Doge.
Go to the Forty. Those who passed
sentence upon Michel steno will. un-
doubtedly, give you justice upon Bar

The Doge looked long and earnestly
at the man, walked UP and down a
while, and then said "You people seem
to have already made some conspiracy
against the state--what is it-out with
it?"

A Bad Omen

The ominous thing which had hap
pened was this. 1t was September when
Marino was chosen Doge and toward
the close of that month he reached the
point upon the mainland over against
the Hundred Isles upon which the
Queen of the Adriatic raises her tiara
of proud towers"
A great fleet had set out from Venice
to bring to the city her newly elected
Doge. Gay were the ships with pen
mons and streamers and the air re-
sounded with that minstrelsy of which
the Venetians were so fond-and are
to this day.
With song and laughter and shouts
of viva" the fotilla approached the
shore of the mainland
Marino handed his wife into the
stately galley which had been pre-
pared for his reception and, the rest
of his train being embarked, the fleet
set sail for the short trip across the
water.
But from the northeast came rolllng
down upon the Adriatic one of those
sudden atmospheric disturbances which
so suddenly and SO frequently disturb
the placidity of the Sea of Hadrian
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-20

Steno had dared to raise his eyes to Ma
rianna. the friend and constant compan-
ion of Angelina.
Marino frowned when he saw Steno and
Steno retorted by making "pasquades"
upon the Faleiro behind his back. Steno
was wonderfully clever at making rhymes
with a sting to them which greatly
amused the companions of his revels and
his pleasures.
Mariana repulsed all Steno's advances
and this made him the more determined to
win her His position was such that now
they were back in Venice. he could be
about the Doge's household whenever he
wanted to and he availed himself of the
privilege.
But Steno was of too slight importance
to cause any serious worry to Marino
Faliero In spite of an ominous thing
which had happened upon his arrival at
Venice from Rome 1t seemed as if his ad-
ministration was to be one of the great
est prosperity. peace and happiness for
the Venetian states.

Kicked Out of the Palace

"Sir Seno" said he, depart from
this palace and never enter it more. ;
Steno began to argue the case but the
Doge was not in mood for arguing.
He clapped his hands and called his
lackeys.
Kick that man out of the palace,
was his order-and so it was done.
Steno, the member of the Council OF
Forty, was kicked like a common male
factor from the doors of the grand
ducal mansion.
Heated with anger at his disgrace
Michel Steno crept that night into the
Hall of Audience ano wrote upon the
chair which the Doge occupied in his
official capacity these words: Martin
Falier; the husband of a fair wife;
others kiss her but he keeps her.
In the morning when the Doge came
to hold his court he saw the scanda-
lous words written upon .lsis throne
and great was his wrath.
He called the Senate and the Senate
set in process the secret machinery of
Venice. 1t was discovered that Michel
Steno had written these obnoxious
words

Casting His Lot With Conspirators

He was masked when he entered the
assembly of the eonspirators. But as
soon as they were asst mbled Marlno re-
moved his mask and said:

armed, defencsless man. But yesterday

Pride and Glory of Venice

TNOR many years the name and Prov

i pride and glory of Venice. In com
n,and of the land forces of cara, he hao
beat the King of Hungary and his army
of 20 900 men, killing 5000 men and Keeping
rho besieeed In check at the same time.
Then he commanded the feet and great

fortress of Capo d'Istria.
When peace came to the repuohc anu
Faliero returned to Venice he was a man
well along in years. but age had nelther
tamed the ferceness of his passions nor
the yigor of his mind and body.
Then it was that he married the 1an
Angelina, most beautiful of the maiuehs
who dwelt in the water born palaces oi
the Queen of the Adriatic.
Having thus seen his daughter proVloeo

Reaching the Greatest Height

There was a tremendous row about IL
for a while but the affair was smoothed
over and Faliero was forgiven.

of his with a blush of shame; and his enc
mies-his only enemies were those VINO

sying that a Judgment" would yet fall
upon him for his impiety.

And then you polluted my very hearth
with your ribaldry."
Scarcely had Marino been arraigned
when an attendant announced that the
Duchess demanded an audience of the
Doge.
Let her come in" said one of the
council, "she may have revelations of
importance to make"
Calm, proud, Angliolina entered the
chamber.
My lord, my fathers friend said
she, are you condemned ?-<the mighty

One of the council said slowly that
the evidence was so strong that death
would be the sentence. Then Angelina
became all woman and begged his life.

WOMEN CARRY CANES
New York Women Aping Those of
Paris, Rome and London


The women are carrying canes again.
The idea is quite in keeping with waist
coats and slashed skirts. says the New
York Sun.
Sometimes a new fad takes a peep at
fashiondom few alert ones catch at it
and appropriate 1t for a short time. 1ss-
pecially are Americans slow to take up
new and faddish IDEAS But on its sec
ond appearance it goes like hot cakes.
Do you remember the "swagger sticks'
as the English army officers call them,
that a few women carried two or three
years ago?
The ones carried now are larger some
of them, and every excuse under the sun
is given for carrying them.
In London, Paris and Rome the most
fashionable women. old and young. are
carrying them, so that they are quite as
usual as paraso would be here.
The new canes are about a foot longer
than the gentlemans cane that is, about
IS inches. They are much lighter in
weight and come in two varieties, one
with a small knob and the other with the
curved handle Ebony is perhaps the
smartest wood used, with pmento or
Malacca a close second
London is quite mad over the partridge
wood although this is distinctly
rougher cross country walking stick. The
color is mottled, about the same as the
partridge bird, and there are distinct
ridges every two inches which resemble
the lines of the feathers. With a rough
tweed suit this looks better than the
smoother woods do. One of the most
delicate, on the other hand. is the
throstewood,' a pastel greensh blue.
which is dainty enough to be carried
with the new silk suits
Although not few of the canes have
appeared on the avenue one of the large
umbrella houses is selling dozen a week
to the members of the ultra-exclusive
set. Perhaps the best place to see them
is In Central park in the early morning.
This morning or beauty walk has become
quite a fad among the debutantes of up
per Fifth avenue. The canes have also
appeared at the polo practice games and
at the regular spring races.

cane as a result of the empire fashion.
