Romance I'm Real Life.


The beautiful and highly cultivated
daughter OF one OF the proud old Roman
mobiles, the Duke Of Gallese, was intro
duced to the Italian poet, Signor DAN
nunzio. Her kinsfolk never dreamed that
a lady OF such great expectations and high
birth could run any risk by an intimate ac-
quaintance with man risen from the lower
ranks. The two walked and chatted TO-
gether, but while the young lady's friends
supposed that she was talking OF intelec-
tual matters IL turned out that the CONVEX
sation of the interesting couple turned In
u very different direction. The Duke
learned, to his horror and anger, that bis
daughter had dared TO betroth herself to the
poet. As matter OF course, he refused to
give his sanction TO their marriage. where

where they were made man and wife. This
last step made the Duke so indignant that
he had a legal document drawn up, by
which he disinherited his daughter; but
the father and the man afterwards SO far
overcame the aristocrat in him that he set
tied upon her for life a yearly income OF
1000 lire. The story has since obtained an
almost tragical completeness by the separa-
ton OF the Duke from his own wife. He
accused her OF having secretly favored the
cause OF D'Annunzio, and Of allowing the
lovers 20 hold interviews after the father
had prohibited all further intercourse be-
tween the two. He has consequently
broken up his household in Rome. made a
settlement upon his duchess, and declared
that he will benceforth live and die As il he
had neither wife nor child.
