of former social greatness In the old

There was romance, drama or tragedy
in an ordinary incident of routine life,
which, like most other incidents, when
traced to formative circumstances, was
pathetic and uncommonplace.
Several years ago. while on special
mission to Berlin, l attended a fete
given by the crown princess, now
Empress Frederick. The fete, in fact.
guest possessed a political significance.
But the affair was magnifcently ar
ranged, and the guests were stimulated
to their best. 1t was mass of gorgeous
coloring, a seeming within to charm the
eye, while underneath ran the lively
excitement of strategic play. AS
passed a group of noblemen / noticed
one young man with the furrow of the
born statesman between his eyes. who
seemed to control the local situation.
He was Count Won -, a man whose
family name appears on the bravest
pages of German history, and whose
handsome face and soldierly figure in
the uniform of an officer of the foot
guards compelled immediate attention.

glance was upon the striking officer,
and, as she moved away, she turned to
smile at him, l thought with secret
meaning. Late the other night 1

street and Broadway, New York.
While the conductor was changing a

figure in its baggy blue uniform. Ills

A NEW STORY OF HORACE GRErL,Y

n ~" oIOh1 Or hOhACE GhEEL . I.
Between the Hon. Beeman Brockway
of the Watertown Times and Mr.. Bailey
there has been lifelong intimacy, al
though they have not agreed politically,
and when they get together they keep a
company roaring with laughter as they
listen to the delightful and reminiscent
anecdotes that they tell. Mr.. Brockway
recently told one of another of the vet
eran editors of New York. When Brock
way was night editor of the Tribune he
was expected occasionally to do a little
editorial writing. Mr.. Greeley came to
him one day and said: ''Beeman, l want
you to stir up our friends in the Legisla-
ture on this temperance question. Write
strong and scathing editorial urging
them to prepare for legislation to sup
press the evil. Do it in your strongest
vein and have it inserted in the paper to-
morrow"
Mr. Brockway was not particularly
interested in the temperance question,
and, being tired, wrote perfunctory
editorial. When it came to the manag-
ing editor of the Tribune, Charles A.
Dana, in proofs, he saw that it was of no
particular merit and realized that the
pen had dragged when Mr., Brockwav
wrote it.
He therefore killed it. Next day Mr..
Greeley in the most shrill of his nasal
tones found fault with Brockway, say
ing;
"Beeman, why didn't you write that
temperance editorial? counted on its
appearing in the Tribune"
81 did write it Mr.. Greeley"
We'll what's become? Where is it?"
why, Mr.. Dana killed it,"
Dana killed it? Why, man, you
didn't show it to him, did you? He is
not competent to pass on temperance
editorial. Why, Dara drinks"
When Mr.. BrOckway heard this accusa-
ton he offended Mr., Greeley by bursting
out laughing, since he knew of all the
most carefully temperate and abstemious
of editors in New York CITY Mr. Dana
was pre-eminent. Buta as he occasionally
drank glass of wine with his dinner
Greeley included him in the category of
men who drank,
