ANNA KEEPS HER MONEY.
THE COUNT WANTED SETTLE
MENT AND ALMOST CRIED
WITH ANGER.

Called on the GOuIds' Lawyer, MIR.
Dillon, TO Ask for Some Hard Amer
lean Dollars, and When Told He
Could Have None, Angry Words,
Then Appeals, Then Tears, Fol-
lowed.
From the New York Press
Count de Castellane did not get $780,
900 as a dowry when he married Anna
Gould. All he got was her own charming
self, with perhaps, the promise Of a lit
tie spending money, if he continued to be
good.
There are several reasons for this, and
one is that he did not get the 100000
because Miss Gould could not give it to
him. She has never had such a sum at
her disposal since the death Of her father.
So the count did not get a cash settle
ment. Wise Jay Gould made his will in
such a way that the $50. 100000 which had
been garnered by him in Wall street har-
vests could not be given to any person
outside the family by his heirs. In
carefully worded clause it was stated that
Anna Gould was to have the income which
should accrue from a one-sixth part of
the estate. The principal was to remain
intact.
The annual income of the countess is
about 100000, and it is understood that
George Gould has assisted her in caring
for that portion of the interest not used
for current expenses
A few days before the final wedding set
tlement was made the little count walked
leisurely through the front door of the
Western Union building. The time was
about o'clock and he had just finished
luncheon with a friend from Wall street.
ware ess Msieu Dilyon's ofeeses?'
he inquired of the janitor
There was a short flight of stone steps
to climb in the new part of the building.
Then he entered the offices of Mr. Dillon,
the lawyer for the Gould estate. He
trpped languidly up to the railing, smiled
at the office boy and took a glazed card
from dainty card case.
"Vor NJ sieu Dilyon,' he said.
The office boy almost tainted as he took
the card. With all his eyes he stared for an
instant and then started on canter for
the door of Mr.. Dillon's private room. In a
was ushered in. The door was then closed
Before the vision had been hidden by the
ground glass of the partition, several per-
sons in the Office saw a handshake and
heard the creaking of chair rollers as a
seat was arranged by the judicial arm of
Mr.. Dillon.
In the office. waiting for conference
with one of the members Of the firm, sat a
well known lawyer. He had some legal
matter to discuss. and as he waited he
glanced over a bunch of papers Suddenly
he lifted his head with a look of interest.
There were strange sounds flying over the
top of the little private room-sounds Of
voices in expOstulation; at words such as
are spoken by men in passion.
Now, my dear sir, it is impossible-it
is"
''Diablo-M'si eu, eet ees most-wat you
call ett-neseesary-Za ees eemport-eet
mus be-eet-"
Now, my dear sir. tell you I cannot
-"
wat you mean-you mean eet cannot
be?"
The freekles on the face Of the office boy
turned to a pale pink. The clock on the
wall tckled furiously and with a jolly
clatter One of the clerks glanced with
one eye in an expectant way toward the
police call box, while the other was turned
to the glazed door of the Office.

Now. there's no use talking" cut in
the other voice. cold, deliberate, and
calm. I'll tell you it cannot be done"
But, M'sie''- in modified tones.
mo, 1 say. It is no use for you to talk
to me-"
But. M'sieu-" this time in a plead

Il cannot do as you wish
But, Msieu-," there were almost
tears in the voice now.
Sorry, my dear sir, but it is iIhpossi-
ble''
BUT, M-s-i-e-u." Was that a sob
which followed? Some of those in the
office thought so.
Then there were soft spoken words
among which could be distinguished some
which sounded like settlement" all
tied up" she gets only the interest" etc
There was no strut about the dapper
little figure which slowly made it's way
out from the offices. The man did not
look as cheerful as would be expected of
one who was on the eve of becoming
the husband of a young heiress. There
was not the slightest appearance of blue
blood in his face; it looked more as though
| there was no blood in it at all.
H. Hubbard who is associated with
Judge Dillon. and occupies the same Off
ces, stated to a reporter for the Press
yesterday afternoon that Judge Dillon
was away on a business trip somewhere
in Kansas. When Mr.. Hubbard was
asked if the marriage settlement between
Miss Gould and the Count de Castellane
had been drawn up in the offices of Judge
Dillon, he declined to say anything about
it.
George J. Gould declined to talk yester-
day when a reporter for the Press called
He was too busy.
