of the mansion watched him with amuse-

lace yelling the windows. Plainly he
would like to see the much-talked-of mis-
tress OF the house. The horses gave a
FESTIVE movement that jerked the team
ster 10 the pavement. His head struck
the curb with cruel force. The mistress
of $4,000 900 did not wait to summon a
servant. She ran to closet where was a
camphOr bottle, flung open the great doors
of the mansion, and was the first to reach
the man. She drew his wounded head
upon her lap and the man, whose skull
had been cracked by the force OF the fall
died looking in the face of the mistress
of the Gould mansion.
1t is well known that Count Boniface
de Castellane paid court TO Helen Gould
unti she ignored his attention when he
bestowed them upon her younger palmer.

his wife. Society. to whom Helen Gould
win always be impenetrable. and the
deeds OF Helen Gould inscrutable, marvel
ed at this rich nobodys" refusal of an
alliance with the descendant Of a Crusa-
der. IT would have been surprising had
Miss Gould taken the trouble to prove,
as she says she can-and the person Is
yet to be found who ever impugned her
word-that the Goulds sprang from a
family as well known and almost as old
as the Castelanes. As for the mere mat
ter of a title Helen Gould's inherent
Americanism spurns that as bagatelle.
Col Abraham Gould, who died In de-
Tense of his country In the revolutionary
war, sleeps beneath a stone that bears
that legend in the cemetery of Fairfield,
Conn He was a member of the Connecti-
cut council when he died The American

the Connecticut charter, a document

high standing in England were permitted

arms Of Morgan those Of Gould, and there
Is also established the relationship of that
branch Of the Gould family to the Mar

ford. Remotely, too, is the multi-million-
airess related to the famous Catholic con-
with Louis XIV, of France, and Rev.
James Anpius Gould, who was the 1rst
Roman Catholic archbishop of Melbourne.
Miss Goud's love of country Is not con-
fined, in the matter OF exhibition, to the
trodblous period of war. Two years ago
she caused 5000 copies of tho national
hymn, America" to be printed, and dis
tnbuted among the pupils Of the public
schools In New York.
~ believe every one should know that
hymn, and sing It If he sings no other. /
would like the children 70 sing 1t into
their very souls till 1t becomes part OF
them" she said.
Miss Gould strongly favors patriotic SER
vices in the churches on the Sunday pre-
ceding the Fourth Of july when she would
like 10 hear such airs as America HAL

1t was this same dauntless spirit that
