THE VAMPIRE WHO TRAINED A
TYRANT.

n NE of the most dangerous women
~ in the ancient world was Pop
paea Sabina, wife of Nero. Under her
tutelage he emerged from youth as a
profiigate and tyrant. History shows
that before their meeting no other
Roman emperor ever had better
chance of making good on his imperial
job, and none ever failed so miserably
When Nero came into power at the
age of seventeen Rome was just be-
coming acquainted with the luxury of
Greece and the Orient. But he had
been raised like a Spartan by his
mother Agrippina, who made him en-
peror almost single handed. The rig
orous discipline of his mother pre-
sumably should have made Nero a
brave, simple-living man, like the Ro-
mans of old. Instead, he quickly
turned TO luxurious ways of life. Then
he met and loved Acte, an Asiatic
woman. Agrippina forbade him to
carry on the affair. Nero baked. He
was emperor and not mere boy any
more.
The love affair with Acte estranged
Nero and his wife, Octavia, whom he
had married as matter of statecraft.
Then he fell under the sway of Pop
paea Sabina and quickly abandoned
Acte. Poppaea also was married, but
as mistress to Nero she chided him
for subsection to his mother. Nero
lost his head and set about doing
whatever Poppaea bid. She was older
than he, but beautiful and seductive
vampire in very truth. And she meant
to make herself empress. Agripplna

THE VAMPIRE WHO WON MIL
LIONS.

CHE was woman beloved by two
- kings. She sold the secrets Of
each to the other and made millions
i'm the process.
Louis XIV first loved dainty Louise
de In Querouaille. But the historians
say that she proved unfaithful to her
royal admirer. Louis did not let this
prevent him from sending her to Eng
land in the train Of court lady bound
there on q visit Of state. And he told
Louise TO captivate Charles ii of Eng
land. Then she was to send him
news Of England's statecraft and to
influence Charles so that he would
make concessions which the French
monarch wanted. For all of which
Louis engaged to pay her handsomely.
Louise found the occupation SUCH
an easy one that she decided IL would
be just MS simple TO sell Charles news
Of Louis and his policies. So she re-
ceived much gold from both kings, but
ii Is said that she never informed
matters, remaining loyal to her OWE
land.
This double traffic made Louise a
very rich woman. But her ambition
craved' greater honors. She persuad
ed the English king TO make her
duchess of Portsmouth, and as such
she was thoroughly despsed by the
English people. In addition to
dealing In secrets of state she

N 1853 Cardinal Mazarin was the
most powerful man of France. its
principal minister. the lover and per-
haps husband Of the Queen Dowager,
and recognized guardian of the young
king, Louis XIV. In his success he
remembered a poor sister, struggling
to raise Ave daughters on little
estate in Italy. One day the post
brought TO this sister command
from her great brother that she should
come 10 Paris and bring the five girls.
Happiness reigned in the family cir
Gle, only married by the thought that
one of the daughters was as homely as
the others were handsome. The four
beauties wanted TO leave her at home,
but she resisted and they finally took
this ugly duckling with them. When
Mazarin saw his ungainly niece he
consigned her TO a convent. The 9TH
er four became celebrated over night
for their beauty and took prominent
place at court. But the poor Cinder-
ella of the family remained in her
convent. Mazarin happened 10 re-
He found that in two years she had
become wonderfully beautiful, more
bewitching than her sisters. And II
was not long until Marie Mancini was
one of the most sought after of the
court beauties. The young king saw
her, became infatuated. and Marie
barely missed being queen of France
by the intervention of the cardinal and
the kings mother. But Louis finally
proved tickle, as kings have had
way of doing and Marie found her
castles tumbled to pieces. The car
dinal determined that she should mar
ry and match was arranged WIN
Prince Colonna, grand constable or
Naples. Marie consented, caring lit
tie whom she married, and went TO the
altar with a last despairing look ut
Louis. Unhappiness soon forced her
TO leave the prince and she returned
to France. Then began a series OF
wanderings in which the beautiful
Marie did as her fancy bid with half
the princelings of Europe. Her own
heart broken by Louis desertiOn, she
cared little for the Affections she
caused others. In France, Spain and
Italy, Marie left behind her a train OF
aching hearts. and there were many
stories OF her cruelty. She became
more beautiful as time went on,
woman of ivory like skin and melan-
choly black eyes, seemingly insensible
of her charm. but never loathe TO use
II for her own purposes. She ruled for
a time In one court, then another,
was suspected of being spy, and
probably with justice. She handled
a good deal of money and lived lavish
ly. Policies of state were shaped ac-
cording to her wish and toss of her
handsome head settled many matters
of international consequence. But
Marie never really was happy. Death
came to her in Pisa, where she wrote
