in sight.
She wore her gloves and her travelling
coat was buttoned up. About her wore
scattered numerous satchels and par
cells.
The countess at fir denied her iden-
tity, but finally admitted it.
"Where am l bound for now 2" ehe
asked well, / am going To Europe !;
in fact, have a long trip before me- l
shall remain in San Francisco probably
about five daye, and then go to Monte
rey. But shall not stay there long
go to New York and expect to sail from
there TO Liverpool about February 4th
or 9Th. ehall visit London. and then
go to Florence, Naples, Paris and several
other cities. Then l shall depart for
Cairo. 1t has loug been my desire to
spsnd some time in Egypt, and now that
| am good and ready | shall see the
country, and | am certain that l will
enjoy the change"
"What about John Bradbury ?" was
asked. "Was hie marriage q surprise to
you ?''
That is something l must not refer
to-" said the countess with sigh. ut
is something which only he and | must
talk about, and to each other, if at all. !"
Notwithstanding this the countess did
talk about him and at considerable
length. She reviewed all the circum-
stances of his marriage and told how she
had met young Bradbury in the east, in
Los Angeles and this city, and during
the worlds fair in Chicago.
81 had gone on to Chicago with Miss
Guesie de Forest and my maid /" said the
countess. 81 stayed at the Auditorium,
and John was at the California Club.
We were together much. Besides this |
saw him many times after be began pay
ing some attentions to the young woman
to whom he is now married. 1t is true
l was very much surprised when l read
in the dispatches from San Francisco
that the ceremony had been performed
He is a lovely little boy, and, as 1 said
before, loved him deeply and wac en-
gagged TO be married to him. would
have cut off my right arm at any time
for him. Yes, even love him yet but
you do not expect me to wear my heart
on my sleeve? l can't do that, but
love him." 9ss
A tear glistened in the eye CT the
countess. She was told that it had been
stated here by a friend of Bradbury
that the latter claimed he had paid her
$4,000 about the time OF his marfiage /;
that he had paid the jewelry bill OF
Hammersmith & Field, amounting to
$4,000 more, and before this he was
credited with saying he had parted with
some $40, 600, which he had paid over
to the countess. The item OF the $4,000
note held by Mrs. Williams OF Los An
geles was also alluded to. To all these
the countess gave denial.
"Mr. Bradbury never spent any
money for me-" said she, "but l spent a
great deal in presents to him. gave
him any amount OF jewelry and have
bushel of jewelry yet. l gave him
GONE gold suspender buckles which |
got at Shreve's and which cost over
$500. / also gave him ruby, some
studs, sleeve buttons and don't know
how many other things. What jewelry
/ got at Hammersmith & Fields got
on letter OF credit issued to the Coun-
tess d. 'Henriot.
bradbury has no money now. He
can't get cent on his note. I'd like to
know who would buy his paper or credit
him. His money matters are now in
bad shape"
The countess denied that she made q
hurried trip to San Francisco to inter
cept Bradbury when she read that he
was married, and that she then pro-
posed to bring q $50,0O0 breach-of
promise suit against him and had set
tied for $4,000. She said, as has hitherto
been announced, that she had visited
the city. but denied that she got any
money, or that that was her object. The
daahing countess protested that she SILL
loved the young man.

have any money when he married her
He borrowed 500 from Hammersmith
J & Field, and also got credit for the wed

had the ceremony performed. AS to
paying the preacher, he apparently for.
| got that also."
The countess apparently did not desire
to discuss her attempt to adopt two
children.
ASK me about my travels" said Hhe,
land will tell you anything. but these
and other things / must not discuss"
She claimed that the correspondents
had not always recited the circum
stances as they occurred.
The Countess d'Henriot exhibited 6
| bill for $421 40, receipted by Assistant
Manager Warren in May last for boarC
at the Palace. She said that all hei
bills here had been paid promptly, anC
that she was a good business woman
though she sometimes let loose the
purse-strings. She said that on one
occasion her colored maid had given two
dinners in the countess room at the
Palace, and was 80 lavish with her sub
stance that this alone cost her $40

By this time the Oakland mole wal
