At the close of the present school days when Rome was a small city ruled by a line of kings. The nearby city of Alba Longa was Rome's chief rival for the eupremacy of that part of Italy. In Alba Longa lived a young nobleman named Curlatius, Who had won Horatta’s love. The two were betrothed. The girl had, with her own hands, woven for her lover a rich cloak of many bright colors, This cloak was the envy of the rough Albans, and was the dearest possession of young Curiatius, year 93% of the Brooklyn pur a e King of Rome was ‘Tullus Hostilius, a warlike soverefgn, who de inthe hiphest classes: passed: th sired to make his clty the strongest in all Italy.

Brooklynites pay more attention to taxes than Manhattanese—for one reason, so many more own their homes and pay their taxes direct. They protest more wher they have to hang from a strap or are packed like nickel sardines. They also vote more independently, and whenever they have a reasonable op- portunity they down the boss. | These tendencies and the other traits which distinguish the Brook- | fynite from the Manhattanese must communicate to the children a spirit | of inquiry and desire for knowledge which, applied to their studies, would | account for a higher percentage of them graduating.

Horatii" and th put on their armor and marched 0} to a great oy n the two waiting armies. There the strange triple duel began ng time the fight waged and the issue hung in doubt, One after another, at last, all three of the Curfati{ were badly wounded. Two of the Horat!i were slain outright. To the surprise of both armies, the third of the Horati{ turned and fled. He was still unwounded. As he was known to be a brave man, no one could understand his flight. But the ruse was soon explained. The three wounded Curlati! pun sued him fiercely. They did not keep together, but “strung out” some distance apart !n the chase, As soon as they were so far apart that they could no longer assist each other, Horatius suddenly turned upon the one CCG ut further battle. © This {dea appealed to Tullus. He recepted the challenge and chose for o Rome's champions Horatia’s three brothers, known as “the Horat!i.” / Cluilius selected young € ius and the latter's two brothers to fight for Raa who was nearest to him. Hushing at the wounded, tired man, he killed MyicAn ts him with one blow of his sword. ‘Then, in the same way, he attacked and slew in succession the eecond and third of the Curlatil. Dragging from the body of his sister's dead lover the gorgeous cloak the girl had woven, Horatius threw the garment about his own shoulders, as a trophy, and was carried back to Rome on the u} sed shields of his applauding comrades. He had saved the day ior his Horatia, with the other Roman women, had been watching for the r s return. As her brother was borne in triumph through the gates jshe saw the cloak about his shoulders and knew what had befallen her lover.
