From the Albany Times-U Union
Late Saturday night. when the air was
FILED with snow and rain and the wind
whistled through the bare arms Of the
trees, two gentlemen, who were driving 20
their home at West Albany, noticed the
figure of q woman kneeling on the ground
as they passed old st. Mary's burying
ground One Of the men climbed over the
fence and approached the grief-strtcken
figure, whose wailing could be heard above
the moaning of tho wind.
The woman was startled at hearing q
mans voice beside her. but not more %
than her rescuer. who recognised In the
broken hearted mother the young wife Of
q personal friend. an esteemed citizen who
resides near the park. Her little one. her
first born. died . short time since and the
remains rested underneath the sod %
which she knelt and sobbed She begged
to be left alone At the grave. bat the men
took her in their carriage, and, turning
their horses heads around. drove her homo.
where her husband was found.
He was greatly shocked. ~ his wife Ism
the house only an hour before. telling the
servant girl to say to him that she would
return very soon. merely golnG to . neigh
bor's house for brief call.

BLOOD FOR HER COMPLEXION.
Hundreds of Women Put to Death
for Beauty's Sake.

Paris has just been edified by a work
treating Of the life and proceedings Of a
lady OF The sixteenth century. who carried
her care for her beauty to the very utmost
limits, says the Philadelphia Telegraph.
This Is not q fairy tale, but a sober, his
toTical fact. backed by many Official doou-
ments Of undoubted authenticity, ard the
lady's amiab'e weakness is described with
wealth of detail and forcibIe simplicity
OF description that Is apt to turr the reader
sick.
The lady in question was named Eliza
beth Bathoory. Comtesse Nadasdy. who
married at :he age of fifteen, In 1896.
COmte Francois Nadasiy, who was not of
too mild nature himself. as. when his
wife complained one day that her maid
had been impertinent, he ordered the
errtng handmaiden stripped. smeared with
honey and laid on a wasp's nest. from the
effects Of which gentle admonition she sub
seQuently died.
The Countess Elizabeth was left q widow
In 1904. and began simply at first to try
to keep up the rigorous discipline enforced
by her late husband. Unhappily, one day
she struck her waiting maid. and 30
wounded her that her mistress hands were
covered with blood When they were
washed the countess remarked that her
hands were whittier and the skin more sup
pie and firm. and thenceforward her natur
ally cruel nature was spurred by the
frenzied desire to retain her waning beau
ty at any price.
She used as a cosmetic from that time or
a bath Of human blood, and the tradition
goes that anything SO superb In it's bril-
liant fairness as her complexion cannot be
ina gined. Sne murdered all her waiting
maids, one by one. aided hy three accom-
plices. her old nurse being one of them.
and when she could get no women to enter
her service she cOolly sent her emissartes
to kidnap the peasant girls Of the neigh
borhcod.
At last. however, the CHASTITY scandal
rose to such q pitch that even Hungary
In the middle ages could not AFFORD to
close its ears to the wall Of bereaved famil-
ies and the culprtts first cousin. governor
of the province, entered tho castle on
Christmas eve, 1910. to inquire into the
truth OF these horrible stories. and discov-
cred his fair and honored relative. her fair
chin propped by her exquisite hand. calm
ly watching the death agonies of three
girls. while her attendants were filling q
bath with the life blood that was to pre-
serve her beauty.
The countess herself was too great q
parsonage to incur capita punishment. but
for thirty years she was shut up In soil
tary confinement In the castle of CseibAe,
self to death. As for her accomplices, they
Quently burned at the stake.
1t is said that this fair dame sacrificed
6OO girls to her radiance of skin, but the
biographer states soberly that documentary
evidence exists of the murder Of only go.
