Marayiglia's Son

Let us talk about the motives which
led you to attempt the life of the EN-

silent. 1t is but natural"
They threatened me with torture re-

'.Of course" replied the Duke, IF
would be useless cruelty. But I wish~for
confidence and truth. 7 wish to speak as
one gentleman to another-if you think
me worthy of confidence.
'tAnd if you think we worthy it is be-
cause you are one of those worthless
scoundrels with whom | am unwilling to
confound you. and your deed was prompt
ed by some bsae passion which you are
unwilling to confess"
The man drew himself up and said:
MY name is Odoardo Marayigia. Re-
fresh your memory and insult me no
longer
1t was, indeed the son whom the Ill
started ambassador had left at Paris
when he went to meet his death at
Milan. Knowing that the death of the
father had been at the orders of the
Emperor Odoardo had devoted his life

Seeking Adventure

Emanuel when he found he was to
speak with Charles prepared a little
speech. lie was accompaned-as he al
ways was-by Break Iron and Leone
when he went into the audience.
This. your majesty, is my son. said
the duke. Emanuel drew himself rp
and spoke his piece" as follows

ligion come to beseech you, Caesar. to

of the same opinion, opportunity shall
not be wanting to you.
And, raising the boy he embraced

golden fleece he put it around Eman-
uels neck

church
So he was called "Cardinalin' the
Little Cardinal'-in the court circles,
whic hannoyed the boy excessively, for
he longed to be strong, like his foster
brother, Rinaldo. and he dreamed Of
armies rather than consistories and
longed to crown that topping head Of
his with helmet rather than a Cardi-
nails hat
This foster brother or Emanuel Phil1-
berts was Rinaldo, the son of that wait
ing woman who had breathed life into
the feeble infant at his birth,
He was six months older than the
Prince and years ahead of him in devel-
spment He was as remarkable for his
young strength as Emanuel was for his
infant weakness.
The strongest toys flew to pieces in his
hands and they made him playthings of
steel But these, also. he broke, and
the Duke, who liked to watch the chill
dren at play. gave Rinaldo the nickname
of "Scianca -Ferro' -" Break Iron which
clung to him through life.

Swallowed i'm Oblivion

Sforza, Duke of Milan, who heir his
dukedom from the Emperor. had re-
ceived at his court as French ambas-
sador Count Francesca Maravilglia
The Count left his son Odoardo, then
IL years old, in Paris, but took his wife
and daughter to Milan.
Why was this ambassador offensive
to Charles V. and why did he order
Duke Sforza to put him out of the way?
This we do not know, nor shall know
until the secret correspondence of the
Duke is discovered-as some day it
may be-
But we do know that the servants
of Maravlglia, having got into a quar-
rel with some of the country people,
and having had the misfortune to kill
two OF the dukes subjects. Sforza had
Maraviglia arrested and imprisoned in
the castle of Milan.
From the hour the gloomy portals of
the castle received him, Count Fran
cisco Maraviglia disappeared from the
face of the earth. The prison swallowed
him up in a mysterious and complete
oblivion.
And his wife and daughter, though
not arrested. vanished also like "a
wreath of morning mist and left no
trace behind them

had fled from Milan in the disguise of
peasants after the execution of the Count
and had been discovered by the boy Em-
anuel. 1t was all plain and then the
Duke knew that he loved-not Leone
but Leona.
He did not call for nelp and the page
speedily revived. As soon as the agita-
tion of Leona permitted it may be i'm
agined how long and earnest was the
conversation between her and. the Duke.
1t is unnecessary to say that in the
course of that conversation Leona and
Emanuel artlessly confessed their love
for each other; that the Duke insisted
that Leona resume the proper habili-
ments of woman and retire from the
hardships and dangers of the camp.
Leona, on the other hand, insisted that,
having so long shared the privations and
dangers of the Duke she should be per-
mitted to act as his page until the close
of the present campaign.
Her secret, preserved so long, must
still be kept Both agreed to that. And
where could she be placed in safety?

Dead of Exposure

On account of the disturbances which
had broken out at Milan the court was
at Verceli when the two boys, now
somewhat over years old, rode out
with their riding master.
The horse of Emanuel Phi1ibert, TAX
ing fright, rushed off with him across
country at terrific pace. When his
frightened companions came up with
him the prince had regained control of
his horse, which now stood quietly
browsing by the banks of stream.
The prince himself had dismounted
and was bending over the body of a
woman, while he supported in his arms
q boy of about or years old.
The woman was dead-had apparent
ly died OF exposure and starvation-and
the boy was nearly dead from the same
causes. wake mama! Wake mama!
was ali the child could say.
They took the boy to the neighborins
village Of Oleggio, where he was given
in charge to a peasant woman and
they had the dead woman hurled near
by.

Presents Refused

'Ah, that is better than Cardinals $
hati" exclaimed young Break-Iron.
You have a brave companion there"
said the Emperor; eve will give him an
other chain; and later We will suspend
from it some kind of a cross"
Then taking a gold chain from the
neck of a nobleman present, Charles
threw 1t to Break-Iron, saying, that
is for you, my fine squire
Come continued the conqueror of
Pavia, "every one must have his share
even the page and drawing from his
little finger a ring set with a fine dia-
mond, pretty page he said, lit is

But to the great astonishment of every
one present Leone appeared not to have
heard.
90 no! we have a deaf page" cried
the Emperor
'Leone,' cried Emanuel, and took the
pages hand
But Leone tore his hand away and,
uttering cry, dashed from the room

ror: the diamond I offered him is worth

Born a Weakling

~ ESIDE the waters of an Italian
river lay a dead woman, clad in
- the garb of peasant. Beside
the body stood a splendidly appareled
youth of about Z years, holding in his
arms a half-dead child, dressed in the
coarse dress of a peasant.
1t was Emanuel Prince of Savoy, who
stood there holding the dying child to
his breast while he called out for his
attendants
When Emanuel Philibert, the third son
of Charles II, Duke of Savoy, was born
he was so feeble that his respiration de-
PENDED upon the breathing of air into
his lungs by one of his mothers wait
ing women; and until the age of he
could neither hold his head erect nor
stand alone.
So when his horoscope was cast-as
was done in those days at the birth of
every Princes son-and the astrologer
predicted that the feeble infant would be-
come a great warrior and add such lustre
to the House of Savoy as had not been
given to it by the greatest of his ances-
tors, his mother could not restrain her
tears, and his father-a good and pious
Prince-said: May God hear you my
friend" shaking his head at the same
time in a gesture of doubt.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-28
ATTEMPTED Assassination

Then, after some talk of military af-
fairs the Emperor, who was even at that
time a very sick man and already con-
templated his abdication, said:
Emanuel, as IL the dissolution of this
poor body was not swift enough there
has to be added to hasten 1t assassina-
ton. An attempt at assassination was
made upon me today
or exclaimed the Duke. who is the
vilain?"
THAT Is the question answered the
Emperor with a smile; ''he Is the man
whom you just saw bound in the ante
chamber, But who sent him? / would
give much to know. This man refuses to
answer questions.
Take him to your tent, Emanuel
hand him over to you. But mind--he
must be made to speak. The nearer home
an enemy is the more important to know
him.
Emanuel had the prisoner taken to his
tent. Break-Iron was seated at the en-
trance; inside was Leone. Leave here

All EurOpe at War

Francis declared war, the Emperor
declared war, Duke Charles declared
war-everybody declared war and the
French overran the greater part of
Savoy. Emanuel Philibert's brother died
and he became heir of the dismem-
bered Duchy of Savoy.
The only fortified city left to Duke
Charles was Nice. And there. at length
a great council was called to adjust
matters the main object being to rec
oncile the pope with the Emperor and
the Duke of Savoy with the King of
expulsion of the Turks from Europe.
To this council came the mighty po-
tentates; and with the King of France
came his beautiful daughter Margue-
rite.
FnanueI was then approaching his
fourteenth year-strong, well devel-
oped, beautiful boy with wisdom be-
yond his years and high and chivalrous
ambitions.
Marguerite was about the same age
the most beautiful of the Daughters
of France She was the prince and
her budding fancy was captivated by
him. He saw Margnerite-and scarcely
knew that he did so.
A truce of 10 years was concluded
and Duke Charles took occas sisn to pre-
sent his son and heir ~ the EN-.

Eternal Emmity

He spurred his horse close to that of
the Duke and cried out: Emanuel
Phiibert, Duke of Savoy, Prince of
Piedmont, from this day forth | hate
you with mortal hatred. You have
killed my father. Observe carefully my
face; for, whenever you shall see it,
whether at night or in the daytime.
whether at feast or combat, woe, woe
to you, Emanuel Philibert."
And striking the spurs to his horse,
he wheeled and started off at gal
lop, shaking his hands at the Duke in
parting malediction
"Villain." exclaimed Break-Iron and
was about to put after him.
But the Duke stopped him with an
imperative wave of his hand. and, turn
ing to the page, said, with a laugh;
Why, what makes you pale, Leone?
To see you so trembling, one would
take you for a woman

page. assure me that you are not

The page withdrew into the rear apart
ment of the tent-out of sight, But where
he could not fail but hear what was said
in the main part if spoken in a reason
ably loud voice.
The guards who had brought the pris-
oner We're dismissed-Emanuel was alone
with the man.
Monsieur" said the Duke "the SOL
diers did not perceive your rank-they
have bound you. If you will give me
your word of honor as a gentleman that
you will not try to escape I will unite
your bonds"
Il am peasant and therefore cannot
give my word of honor gentleman"
replied the prisoner.
Then said Emanuel, "I shall unite
your bonds-for I am not afraid to be
alone with any man, whether he has
pledged his word of honor or not
"Stayl'' exclaimed the prisoner, II give
my word as a gentleman"
3 ss.Ah... said Emanuel, dogs, horses and
men recognize one another" and pro-
ceeded to unite his bonds.

Prince. Squire and Page

While yet boy Emanuel Philibert took
the field and through all those breathless
peaces and these tremendous wars moved
ever higher and higher in the profession
of arms, until at the age of 81 he was one
of the most celebrated commanders in El,-
rope and seneral-in-chief of the army or
Emperor Charles in the Netherlands.
And inseparable from him all these
years had been his faithful squire, Break
Iron, and his faithful page, Leone.
Into battle he never took the shrinK-
ing page; but the squire always rode at
his side in the combat and had become
celebrated for his feats of strength and
DARING.
Not hanging by his side, but swinging
upon his back, the squire, when in armor,
carried one of those, terrible two-edged
swords which, on account of their length,
could only be carried over the shoulder,
and when Break-Iron rushed into the
thiclSest of the fray welding that things

A CL LASSIC
IN A P A G. E
1918, by Irving

Copyright 1913. b. Irving King All

This historical novel of Dumas is one
of his best, and while, for popularity, it
never equaled, nor could equal, such IL
story as THE Count of Monte Cristo,
it is really of more value, for it puts
crucial period of history into such form
that he who begins to read the story
must continue to the end, and at the
end will have clearer conception of the
great crisis through which Europe passed
IL. the age Of Charles V.
1t is we'll known that Dumas did not,
personally, write all parts of his stories.
He had set of hacks" whom he used
to employ to fill in and make space
In no story is this more apparent than
in THE Page of the Duke of Savoy"
1t can be readily seen where Dumas
abandoned the pen to one of his asso-
ciates. with instructions to put a certain
number of years of history into a con-
densed and agreeable" form. They were
GOOD hacks" whom he employed; but
when Dumas takes up the pen again the
line of semarcation is sharply drawn.

A Kingdom-on Conditions

And now," said the admiral. there
are other portions of this treaty which
concern you personally ana to which |
lave not yet called your attention. But
1 see we are not alone"
This is my page replied the Duke
gloomily; you may speak freely
well, if your hghness will read
here you will see that it is agreed that
the King Philip shall-as Mary of Eng
lane is now dead-marry the Princess
Elizabeth daughter OF tile King of
France, and the Duke Emanuel Philibert
of Savoy shall marry the Princess Mar
guerita, another daughter of France
Upon the condition that this latter
marriage takes places all the domains
of the Duke of Savoy shall be restored
to him with the exception of certain
cities which shall be delivered up to
him upon the birth of an heir to his
dukedom."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-28
Where Was Sayny2

Although Emanuel Philibert was now
Duke Savoy-where was that Savoy? 1t
was in the hands of his enemies or had
been appropriated by his ostensibe
friends
He was duke without a dukedom, and,
although famous commander and gener-
alissimo of the imperial forces in the
Eow Countries. had scarcely a rood of
ground to call his own.
Leona declared that the only way was
for her to retire to convent and spend
the remainder of her days in prayer for
the duke. This Duke Emanuel opposed,
for he had a vision of peace once more
smiling over Europe and of his restora-
ton to his throne and his country.
And there, beside him on that dncal
throne, he pictured Leonai However,
nothing was decided except that from
That night the camp observed that the
page of the duke was lodged in a separate
tent and attended him only upon public
occasions.
And. my brother? You will save my
brother?" said Leona at the close of that
momentous interview.

Paving the Penalty

He made his horse leap to the side of
the horse of the Count. The Count
cried out: .Helpl help! death to this
DulSe!" and tried to draw his sword.
But quick as the flash of the pistol
of the Duke a ball sped through his
brain and he reeled and fell. clangihg
in his armor, from his horse. fs
The Bastard of Waldeck shouted for
his soldiers to close upon the Duke, but
the soldiers did not move; and when
the Bastard himself attempted to
charge him the soldiers grabbed his
bride rein and preevnted him-they
had no love for their dead commander
and gerat fear of the commander in
chief.
The Bastard drew his sword; the sol-
diers tore it from his hand and let
him go.
