They were popular, happy and possessed of all that makes life pleasant, [Five years later Maximilian lay @ead before the muskets of a file of eel ‘diers and Carlotta was a hopeless maniac, Feminine ambition and relisnow’ on the promise of a man who could not tell the truth caused the tragte change. Here is the story—one of the saddest in history: ~ Carlotta was the youngest daughter of the first King Leopold of Belgtams and sister of the present Belgian King. At seventeen she was married te Maximilian,’ younger brother of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. Maz- imillan was eight years-her senior and had already won fame as a sailor, @ aclentist and an ‘author and had shown himself possessed of high powers of i | governing. Their marriage was celebrated in 1857, and for the next stt years they passed-s delightful existence at the palace of Miramar, on the urnted-by-“iterary_and-artistic-frienda———- I tan, scoundrel, adventurer and W aK ehatow ot his uncle, the great Napoleon—was Emperor of Francé.’ He had won ale thivne by ‘ick and was holding it by a series of sensational exploits, He Hit on a plan.of*founding an empire on the North American continent—es. empire wherein he should be the power behind the throne. A full-blooded © Indian named Juarez was President of the Mexican Ree ‘Anim fal public. By buying up a party of Juarez’s opponents i [a and fil'ing the country with French troops Napoleon IIL Charlatan. managed. ‘to wreck the republic and cajole or bribe @ i body ‘of prominent men to vote for an empire. He wanted no man on the Mexican throne who might be powerful enough im rank or nature to act Independently of hfm. So his choice fell on dreamy, scholarly Archduke Maximillai}\ and he made an assembly of Mexicans ‘of for the Archduke the imperial crown. -MaximiJian was very oappy where he was and had no wish to become Emperor, But Carlotta (wild with ambItion-and-engerto-hear-herselt-aa—— dressed as “Your Imperial Majesty’’) pleaded and wept and wheedled hint at last Into accepting. He was, moreover, assured that_the-whole-Mexicaa. nation deaired him for its ruler. Napoleon III. also gave him solemn am surances that a strong French army should remain in Mexico to secure the new-ruler’s position_there. So,-on May 28, 1864, the luckless Austrian and his ambitious wife arrived in Mexico, where a made-to-order ovation rene dered them doubly certain they were universally welcome among their new subjects..-As-a-matter-of fact Juarez.and his party-were still in arms, and-most-of-the-nattres-hated-the-tdea-of_forelgn—interventiot Maximilian and Carlotta, utterly unaware that only | the presence of @ French army stood between them and destruction; entered on thelr -wriat — career of empire. Education was made compulsory, religious toleration was proclaimed, the wretched finances were |mproved as much as possible, jus tice tempered with perhaps too much mercy—all these-reforms were insti- tuted by the new Emperor, and, strange to say; they only won him fresh enemies. Carlotta endowed. a -hospital, founded. other charitable institu- tlons and sold her own paintings and rare embroideries to buy food for the poor. -For a time all seemed=to go well and Carlotta’s ambition was grati- fed. Napole » But soon Juarez's CRY, grew so large and aggressive as to cause re d warfare. =< But, shrewder than Belmont, Ryan and Brady did not want McDon- ld to be at large as a possible competitor. They paid him $260,000 in ish and gave him a five-year contract at $50,000 a year to do nothing. This they had a legal right to do, If Mr. McDonald was willing ae himself for that ae the loss to the’ public might be great, but the: slockholdtrs+: oF hese companies in the same manner that August Belmont-tried-to-rob taxpayers _ot New York by charging his lawyer's fees, discounts_and missions to subway equipment.

The poor €z=" | Emperor was given a cnance to escape, but refused to save himself unless ; those of his. friends who had been arrested could also go free. This was of course refut and, on June 19, 1867, Maximilian and two of ois generals were shot. “But for my wife,” he sald in prison on the eve of his execu- tion, “I should not be here.” Carlotta for years afterward kept up a little mock court in Awstria an@ THE STRAPHANGER -A $100,000.000,000 ASSET. deshute-spopplng lit: tires=me-ie-_ deal: Jurr. bah BES arr Family's” Daily. ‘Jars- ona RODE needed or I would: "And to hear the men talk you'd think we) that women are crazy to tun around the stores spending their money ou every- wanted to do nothing else." sald Mra.
