This was in tho year 78. Charlemagne was King of France-and heé pushed his conquests Into other lands. Rome had long since fallen, and up to Charlemagne’s timé no new world-power had yet arisen. Europe was divided up into mary Jdngdoms, few of them fit for séif-government; tower. fit or caring to uphold civilization. In the Orient the followers of the Prophet, Mahoraet, were already rolling up power, Many of them had set- tled in Spain, which was a great Mahometan stronghold.. England was ruled by:the Saxons, who had at last subdued the ancient Britons and filled’ nearly the whole Island. On the continent of Europe Saxons also had & foot- hold and openly practised esther rites. It was a period ot violence, | war, pestilence, anarchy, £ In the midst of this chaos arose Charlemagne. Little dy little he con- quered the ‘greater part-of-Kurope,_mibdued_and Christianized the Saxons, made himself Emperor of Rome and, in fact, gath- ered ‘up into hia own strong hands the long-deserted ‘The.

Much legend surrounds Roldnd’s life and death. Ag fn the case of King Arthur, one must choose merely the eyents that are , most probable. v In the course of his conquests Charlemagne marched an army over the ‘Pyrenees tnto-Spatn-to-crush-out-Mnhometantsm- among the Moors-there; and incidentally to annex that kingdom to his own. Fon'stx years he re- mained there, partly subduing the country and defeating such Saracens as dared oppose him. He repeatedly sent to Saragossa, the Moorish strong- thold, ordering the Saracen King, Marsilas, to surrender. Each timo hia/ messengers were put to death by torture. At lust, pressing affaire ordering | tiie presence kingdom, Charlemagne planned to return to He sent a final command to Marsilas to yleld and, at Roland’s ‘advice, choss one Ganelon. as his enyoy. e ‘Ganelon swore ‘vengeance against Roland for putting him in so-perflous— @ position, -He had no relish for martyrdom, so he bought his safety by re- vealing to Marsilas the secret of Charlemagne's proposed evacuation of Spain” and the route the French monarch would take over the Pyrenees.

YOUTH of forty summers sat within his Harlem home; . - A He'd promised darling Flossie they should go to see “Salome.” But ‘Sal’ had been evicted! fram her mansion grand alack! The youth could scarce conceal his joy at gettftig money back. While Flossie read the jury trial the paper shook in rage— She hadn't got much further than the forty-seventh page— The youth stole to a five-cont ‘phone—a dime he had'to pay— Then, breathing on the microbes, o'er the ‘phone these words did say: ie generat “Walt tll the enoto melts, Flossie, ~~~ Watt till the snow melts, dear; Please do not think me soucy— You sce I'm snow-bound here.
