CHAPTER III.
Deaths Ma pic Wand

Miss Sanderson is thirty three years
old. She is still the only singer in the
world who reaches the G in alto. She
is the only woman who can sing THE
Enchantress," the opera written for her
by Massenet, which ran for three years
at the Opera Comique in Paris.
Antonio Terry has been moderately
faithful in all his attention to her,
though, of course, there was that little
affair with Langtry-a mere matter of
a month, that does not count-and Miss
Sanderson, when she was on here in
New York, talked friendly and hope
fully of the time when she would be
Mrs. Terry-a time the real Mrs. Terry
did all i'll her power to hasten.
More than ten years ago Mrs. Terry
brought suit for divorce. This was at
the time when Sadie Martinot had Ter
ry in her train. For some reason the
proceedings were dropped
Terry was still a husband, though he
and his wife lived separate lives. Then
he met Miss Sanderson, and their en-
gagement was announced. Years pass
ed and still there was no divorce.
Mrs Terry was getting even with her
husband. AT last she got tired, and
again the suit for divorce of the Ter
rvs came before the French courts.
Terry is rich, but when the courts
granted his wife s40O a month alin1ony
his hot Cuban blood boiled, and he be-
gan to fight back. He appealed the
case. The courts took cognizance Of
his millions and raised the Wifes al
lowance to $1,000 a month.
Tomas Terry's son could not endure
that He determined to crush his wife,
and brought charges against her
through the police courts-there is
some twist of the French law by which
cogniZance can be taken of such de-
partures from the moral code of which
Terry accused Mrs Terry.
Her answer was to include Miss San
derson, whose name she had omitted
on the eminent list Of correspondents.
There was some proof that the wit
ne sses against Mrs. Terry were actu-
ated by personal motives, and finally
the police courts dropped the case, and
it came into the divorce courts again.
Bitterly husband and wife fought

All the while Sibyl goes on making

The proceedings were punctuated
with reports of the secret marriage OF
the Cuban millionaire-now no longer
the young Cuban millionaire. These
stories, denied as soon as published,
kept the case of the engaged couple be-
fore the public. Was there ever such

Almost every kind replied Mr.. McKenna.
The attorney general is the lawyer of the
United States government. The cases of the
different district attorneys are under him. He
is asked for opinions by all the various de-
partments of the government and all sorts OF
legal questions are submitted to him.

Chicago Animal Cannot Be Kept
Out of the Water.


CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-In his eagerness
to take plunge into the Chicago
river at Harrison street yesterday j..
w. Walton's single driving horse broke
from a hitching post at Randolph
street and Fifth avenue and collided
with a score Of vehicles before he was
stopped on the brink of the draw. The
animal will probably be relieved Of
his duties and reserved for exhibitions
as a high diver at country fairs.
Walton's horse has several times dis
played an eagerness to get into the
murky waters of the river. Thursday
he succeeded, dragging the buggy in
after him, after the owner had riSked
a fall on the granite blocks rather than
tumble into the slime. The animal en-
joyed the element and sported about
in the middle of the stream for an
hour before he was dragged out. He
was only restrained from plunging in
again by the application of the whip.
w. Smith was in charge of the in
corrigible horse yesterday. Hardly had
he entered a store than the animal
ran away, dragging the hitching post
after him. At Washington street he
collided with a buggy driven by Gus
Hedstrom and Daniel Burke and tore
two of the vehicles wheels off. A
truck got in the way of the runaway

That was the Mrs. Antonio Terry who

He says that he soon acquired consider
able SKILL and was able to hit Il small
CbJect across the street. He thinks he
could have hit man easily and could
have killed at almost every shot. He
then sent a warning to Turner, saying
that he would not avoid him nor would
he seek any collision with him, but
! that if he dared to attack him or came
near him in threatening manner he
would kill him. Judge Turner, upon
learning of MI Fields skill with a re-
volver, did not seek to carry out his
threats. He was justice of the court,
however, and he disbarred Field from
practice. Shortly after this Justice
Field was elected to the legislature.
Here he was in such danger that he
hadsto have his pistols always at hand
in the drawer of his desk in the legis-
latiVe hall. He also practiced in courts
where every lawyer carried pistol or
a bowie knife, and was once challeng-
ed by a judge to fight a duel He ac-
cepted the challange, and as he had
the choice of weapons, stated that the
fight should be held in a room twenty

There was never any lack of self-as-

the time she used to climb in chair
in the public school and sing for the
teachers and her fellow pupils at re-

sing for visitors, so when she left
school and began to know things that
are not taught there she was a thor
oughly self-possessed girl. She knew
she was striking young per-
sen, and she liked to defy
conventionalities, to sing songs
she was young enough to pretend she
did not understand, and tell stories
the points of which she might, with her
fair, fresh, young face, be reasonably

PREFACE.


Died-In Paris, Sept Ii, 1897 Mrs. Antonio
Terry, formerly Grace Dalton Secor.
This modest death notice presages the end
of a great romance, a tale of many lands
and many people, most of them of high de-
gree. Though there is a hero to the cos
mopolitan novel, he is hero only because
of his prominence in the story, and not be-
cause he possesses the qualities that make
up most heroes in books. This may he ac--
counted for by the fact that this is a novel
of truth and not of fiction, and the quality
of the heroine must be charged to the same
cause. However, it is an exciting story,
with setting of jewels, luxury, money,
and with emperors, kings and princes for
minor characters, not to speak of great
composers, artists and people of the stage.
AS for villains-but these are real people,
and besides. there are SO many in the story
that it would be unfair to pick cut one as
worse than the rest However, the story
ends happily for hero and heroine, and if
a few deaths and other unpleasant things
had to happen to bring their happiness
about that does not detract from the in
terest of the novel or depart from the ira
ditiCns of book making.

AN APOLOGY.

The Post-Intelligencer feels called upon
TO apologize to its readers for the crowded
condition of its columns today. There is
a greater volume of advertising In this
issue than ever before appeared in any
regular number, notwithstanding the fact
that notices were posted yesterday shortly
after noon that no more display advertis-
ing could be received. A considerable
quantity Of advertising offered during the
afternoon and evening was refused, owing
to absolute inability to handle il. Measures
have been taken to increase mechanical
facilities. so that hereafter the dispropor-
ton between advertising and reading mat
ter Will not be SO marked, and, when so
much advertising is offered, the size Of
the paper may be increased. But the ads
make immensely valuable reading just at
this holiday time.
