of him in earlier days that he appeared
to her to be the perfection of man
hood that his figure and form had
been fashioned in the mold Of the
graces and that he was as familiar
with the drawing room as with the

combined model Of Mars and Apollo.

sparkled with an incomprehensible
brilliancy when he smiled. but if en-
ragged it's power was absolutely ter

he CHANGED by the fortunes of war or
the vicssitudes Of private life to be
cast, he conquered all hearts without
an effort. and until he became deeply
involved in the affairs of state and
