both of which will start at about the

while the work was going on. When
the villa was finished there was not
single staircase in 1t anywhere. and the
1orgetful novelist was compelled to put
them outside, though he stoutly main
tanned that outside stairways had been
part of his original plan. When this
matter had been remedied he invited
party of writers and artists to dine
with him in his new house. For
months he had talked of nothing but
his plans for furnishing it, so his
guests were naturally eager to see the
wonders that he had been describing
with such enthusiasm. But when they
arrived at the grounds they saw moth
ing but mortar beds, piles of rubbish
and litter of every sort that had been
left by the workmen. The garden.
choice fruit trees. was occupied by a
heap of old brick, while a certain cor
ner which he had called the "hennery"
was given over to weeds and scrubby
bushes. Something was wrong, clearly.
In the house itself they found Balzac
excitedly scrawling words and figures
upon the newly plastered walls. All
was damp and chill and bare of furni
ture, with the exception of the dining
room. Here few cheap chairs were
drawn about a rickety table bearing
poor array of poorer eatables. Quit
ignoring their amazement and disap-
pointment, Balzac showed them
through his villa and explained his
plans. On this wall painting by Ii

Rembrandt's portraits, while the door

The Bellonia hotel was built in 1903
and after some years passed into con-
troll of the transportation company.
An interesting story, well authenti-
Gated, is told of the way in which Van
derbilt got his first start. For years
he had made precarious living by
dredging oysters at Perth Amboy.
Vanderbilt was noted for his nerve
and skill as a waterman.
A Fortunate Undertaking.
One stormy night in winter William
Gibbons, president OF the New York
and New Brunswick company, was at
Perth Amboy and desired most earn
estly to get across the sound to Tot
tenville. None of the boatmen would
consider an offer to row him across
until Vanderbilt offered to do so. The
trip was dangerous, but the men
landed on the Staten island shore in
safety. Gibbons was appreciative Of
the good qualities Vanderbilt had dis
played and made him captain and part
owner VI SIudii oyster SlOOp. a buC-
cessful season put him in control of
a little capital and Gibbons. who al
ways remained his firm friend, advised
him to take the management of the
Bellonia hotel, which then needed
someone to assume charge. Wander
bilt did SO and began to make money
at once. His wife would attend to the
hotel and Vanderbilt served as cap
tain on one of the freight boats OF
the company, this position, too, COM
ing to him through Gibbons patron
age.
Vanderbilt assumed charge of the
Bellonia in 1925. A few hundred yards
to the north is the Vanderbilt resi-
dence, occupied for a time by Wander
bilt and his family, after increasing
good fortune had made Mrs. Wander

Col. Scott, OF the English relief force,
after inspecting the works, said of
Mr.. Gamewell: He is worthy a place

man in Pekin was so constantly un-

as was Mr.. Gamewell, but he came
through the siege untouched. 1t is ac-
