Strange Meeting Of William j. Bryan

LOUISVILLE. Oct 10. - Is there a
romance in the liie OF William J. Bryan
whicn he kept sacredly guarded from the
world? This is what is being asked by
memb bers of the party who accomp panied
Mr.. BRYAN on his tour in Kentucky last
week. At Loretto there is a school for
girls in charge of the Nazarene Sisters.
When the Bryan special reached Loretto
he schoolgirls gathered to greet the silver
leader. Then the sisters in charge pressed
forward. One by one they clasped his
hand and passed on. The sixth opped,
raised her cowl, and looking UP said:
Mr. Brvan, | knew you in the long ago. -
Mr. Bryan was startled. He leaned
forward and a name was whispered in his
ear. He still cla-ped the hand OF the nun
whose cowl had jallen back and revealed
face which showed traces of great
beauty. There was a whispered conversa-
tion, bur not until the train moved slowly
on its way did they break their hand
clasp.
II knew her long ago." was all he ex-
planaiion Mr.. Bryan gave to his party.
