TT WAS an Inflated ship which
4 brought n wonderfully beautiful
italian girl to England, toward the
close of the Seventeenth century. But
1Qk.olu who saw this ivory-skinned,
fed beauty, would have thought
that she was to plunge England into
period of hoodshed. So her destiny
proved, for Mary Of Modena was the
embodiment Of bad luck to England.
she came over from Italy as the be-
rothed bride of the Duke of York.
In the course OF few years he as
cended the throne as James ii, al
though ut the time of his marriage no
one could have foreseen that event.
James was bad king, and what Is
perhaps worse, he was a weak king.
The people muttered against him, and
his wife, Mary of Modena, urged that
he flee. James hesitated, and he pres
emily was dethroned, William of
Orange taking his place. Immediately
James followers banded together In
what was c'lled the Jacobite upris-
ings, this ~ ng play on the Latin
name 70. James. which is Jacobus.
Civil strife ragged throughout the land
with untold suffering and destruction
on all sides.
Mary, watching events from France,
paid her court to Louis XIV. She Is
said TO have caught the fancy Of the
valiant Louis and to have persuaded
MIN to declare her son the true king
Of England, instead of William. Louis
assented and new war promptly be-
gan, much worse than the civil con-
hict which had preceded 1t In Eng
land. William succeeded I'm gaining
allies when Louis declared his own
grandson to be king of Spain. Soon
the War Of the Spanish Succession
was In its full red tide and Europe
ran with blood. The struggle lasted
IA years and before II ended practical
~ every nation of the continent was
drawn In. Armies were wiped out,
furious battles won and lost. Prince
Eugene, insulted by a slight OF Louis,
went to Austria and inflicted heavy
defeats on the French, becoming the
greatest military leader Austria ever
had--and he was Frenchman. MARI
borough won battle after battle for
England and undying fame for him
self. Louis ablest leader died and
France just escaped falling into the
clutches of her enemies.
Mary, the maker Of wars, had well
earned the name. But she still was
unsatished, and when peace finally
came she used all of her blandsh-
ments to stir up new Jacobite trOu-
bles I'm England. Mary was both
beautiful and rich and willing to us,
any means to gain her ends. So the
Jacobite rebellions dragged on for
number Of years But they were hope
less, for William had firmly seated
himself on the throne and meant to
hold his place. Sui Mary kept on
with the resolution Of despair and
not until her death in 171S could the
English king breathe easy.

THE TRUE" LOVE OF LOUIS XIV.

NTHEN rumor linked the name of
wv Louis XIV with Henrietta. the
newly welded wife of his brother,
the king cast about for a means of
continuing his attentions to her,
which would ut the same time silence
the voice of criticism. Historians OF
his day assert that he and his sister,
in-law decided Louis should feign an
affection for her maid of honor, which
would enable him often to be near
the real object of his regard.
This maid of honor was a slender
girl of sweet face and fine blood. Con-
trary to the usual conception Of the
vampire. she was blond, with milk
white skin. and almost childish ways.
But the heart Of Louise de Ia Valllere
was that of woman. and the king
soon found that the tender things he
whispered I'm her ear came from his
own heart. He turned from Henrietta,
whom he had loved for the moment,
to burning passion for-Louise. This
was said to have been the only genu-
inc love Of la Grande Monarque."
Maria Theresa, royal daughter Of
Spain and tho Queen of Louis, was In
furiated at Louise. But the plans of
the queen and other enemies of the
kings favOrite did not prevail. In
stead the kings passion grew deeper.
When FOuquet, his great minister,
Joined the enemies of the girl, Louis
brought about his downfall and thrust
him into prison. That was an object
lesson which needed no second teach
Ing. Louise was the real power be-
hind the throne.
Louis seems TO have been devoted
to La Valliere for q long while. She
became the mother Of four children
by him, one of whom was recognized
as his own daughter and made the
Duchess of Blois. After the death of
Anne of Austria, mother Of Louis, he
became holder and forced his queen
to attend church beside Louise, Such
conspicuous attentions were not the
choice Of Louise, according to all OBJ
servers. She was content to rule IN
different way, quietly, without show.
But even kings love is not thing
to last forever, and Louis began to
tire of La valliere. He was just COM
Ing under the influence of Madame
de Montespan, his second mistress,
and Louise attempted to leave court.
She was compelled to return and for
while to share the same apartment
with her rival She secretly left court
second time and again was brought
back. But Louis no doubt became
thoroughly tired of her whims and
may have accepted with some relief
her plea to enter convent. This she
did In 1874, after 10 eventful years
as the kings mistress. There she
lived until ITO, engaged m plous
works and memories of her former al
most regal station.

Names Big Gain
Potato Crop Due
September Weather

Wakefield, Mass, Oct. 12.-Favor-
able conditions in September caused
rapid gains in the prospects for the
potato crop in all sections of the
United States, V. A. Sanders of the
United States bureau of markets and
crop estimates announced today. The
gain was particularly noticeable in
Maine, where the September estimate
of 24S39,000 bushels has been changed
to 81, 166, 600 Approximately five mil
lion bushels of the gain was in the
potato district in Aroostook county.
Fruit worm damage in September
reduced the Massachusetts cranberry
crop to 10000 barrels against 100000
last year the report said. The Maine
apple crop, Mr.. Saunders estimates
at $4,000 barrels, adding that the
crop in other New England states is
very light and quantitive estimates
are difficult to make with accuracy.
Compared with full crop the pros
poets are reported as follows:
New Hampshire SO per cent. Con-
necticut 90 per cent; Vermont 80
per cent; Massachusetts "a per cent. !;

were under nine years of age.

the chimney and the other into the

The chimney where one Of the
bolts tore its way, was ripped apart
and one of the pupils. Harry Mills
aged IL years, who sat nearest the
chimney was somewhat stunned by
the shock. but at later hour he was
reported as getting along all right.
Miss Pendleton was nearest the
stove and she received quite a shock
in her shoulder, making it almost
numb But she kept her wits about
her and directed the children out in
to the rain. Then their outer gar
ments were secured and they were
sent home.

Plan Ratification
Pact with Germany
Friday or Saturday

Washington, Oct. Identification
of the German peace treaty within
the next few days was forecast to-
night by leaders of both sides after a
canvass of the Senate had been COM
pleted a vote on the treaty had
been expected by Friday or Saturday
a the latest but in view of the dealt
of Senator Knox, some delay is ex-
pected in the action of the Senate.
A safe margin above the necessary
two thirds majority for ratification
was claimed by the treaty's advo-
Gates. Fourteen Democratic votes, it
was said, would be cast for ratifica-
ton with a loss to the Republican
side of only three or four against
ratification.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon
tana, spoke at length today against
ratification. His principal objection,
he said, was that it provided for dis
armament of Germany without
pledging the United States to protect
Germany against aggression as other
nations were pledged in the Versail-
les treaty.
Another development in the stua.-
ton today was circulation about the
Senate of a report that prominent
Democrats out of public life were
appealing to Democratic senators to
stand by the Versailles treaty.
Named in the reports as especially
active in this respect were William
G. McAddo, former secretary of the
treasury and Bernard NJ Baruch,
