Although so years old, the Duchess of
Cleveland is a constant traveller and is
noted for her conversational powers.
which age has not impaired, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. She can tell story
as well as her son, Lord Rosebery One
of her favorite stories is about her father,
Earl Stanhope. One night when the Earl
was walking alone in the Kentish lanes
a man jumped out of the hedge, leveled
his pistol and demanded his purse.
My good man, l have no money with
me- said Lord Stanhope in his remark
ably slow tones. The robber laid hands
on his watch. NO Lord Stanhope went
on, that watch you must not have; it
was given to me by one 1 love; ii is worth
fl00. If you will trust me 1 will 20
back to Chevening and bring a f1O0 note
and place it in the hollow of that tree.
| cannot lose my watch"
The man did trust him. The Earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord Stan
hope was at a city dinner and next to
him sat a London alderman of great
wealth man widely respected. He and
the Earl talked of many things and found
each other mutually entertaining. Next
day Lord Stanhope received a letter, out
of which dropped f100 note. 1T was
your lordships kind loan of this sum-
said the note, that started me in life
and enabled me to have the honor of sit
ting next to your lordship al dinner" A
strange story But the Stanhopes are
strange race, and things happen to them
that never did or could occur to other
people
