Wilson Durant. who is reported to
have been killed in a duel at Ostend,
was an Albanian and comes from a
prominent family. He was in Albany
in December. When here his friends
say he acted in a hammer that indi-
Gated to a very large extent that his
mind was unbalanced. I'm the hands
of one of his friends he placed a num-
Der of letters which he requested
should be sent at stated intervals to
a certain woman in Paris.
For reasons best known to himself,
only, Durant wanted this woman to
think that he was still in America.
His apparent trouble with this woman
is supposed to be at the bottom of the
trouble that led eventually to the duel
by which he lost his life.
When he left he did not take all his
baggage, leaving a large amount in
Albany. To his fellow guests he said
he intended to go to Paris. finish some
business on hand and return here in a
few months.

PARIS, March 5.-John MacWilson
Durant, of New York, who has been
living for the past two years in Paris
with his mother, at the Hotel Lafonde
Tremoille, has been killed at Ostend
in a duel with a Russian count. Ac-
cording to the best information obtain
able Mr.. Durant had written letters to
the wife of the Russian count. The
latter's nephew came to Paris to settle
the matter, where he met Mr.. Durant
in a restaurant, where a vicious fight
resulted in which Mr.. Durant lost his
front teeth. He struck the Russian
with a heavy glass water bottle and
the latter died, but the doctors certif-
cate gave congestion of the brain as
the cause of death. This occurred dur
ing January. Later the Count took the
matter up, sending his seconds to Mr..
Durant.,
The latter went to Ostend with his
mother, who afterwards departed for
and is still at Glasgow. A duel was
arranged and was probably fought yes
terday with pistols. Durant was killed
and the Count was seriously wounded.
Durant registered as Charles Neville
Carter. His mother has been notified.
Durant was well known in the Ameri-
can colony here. He was a frequent
attendant at official receptions given
by the American officials. His engage
ment to a young French lady was re-
Gently announced. They were to be
married in March. The names of the
Russians in the case have not yet been
ascertained.

Toward dusk of an August evening a
little old woman was walking feebly
along West Broadway. There was alb
ject misery in the poor, wrinkled face
and in the stoop of her figure. The re-
lentless heat of fiery sun still hung
over the city, turning the pavemcnts
into frying pans that scorched even the
callous feet of the barefooted street
urchins, and Transforming bedrooms
into veritable ovens.
The woman kept slowly on her way;
now and then she would waver uncer-
tainly and grasp some iron railing for
support. Once a rough fellow jostled
her rudely, and but for a nearby lamp
post she must have fallen.
She turned down a dirty side street
hemmed in on both sides by tall, dingy
tenements, which gave forth unpleas-
and odors of boiled cabbage and on
ions; and at the entrance of one of
the neatest of these red brick buildings
the little old woman turned in. She
did not seem to hear the shrill, child
ish voice calling down to her from a
third-story window.
To tired little Gretchen waiting for
her supper it seemed as though her
Granny" would never finish climbing
those two flights of dark, uneven steps.
Granny must be awful tired to-
night" murmured the child as she
hauled the one easy chair toward the
window through which a faint breeze
came in gentle puffs. A small block of
fast melting ice reposed in a tin basin
on the now cold and empty cook stove
in the corner. There was an uniuvit-
ing looking bed in another corner, and
two chairs and a pine table; and the
only pretty thing in this small room
was sweet little Gretchen herself.
Granny staggered into the room and
sank into the easy chair with a heart
broken sob.
Gretchen was on the arm of her chair
in an instant, one soft hand patting
the wrinkled cheek.
TELL me, Granny, tell me-what's
wrong!"
They've turned me out

They don't want any more of paper
f1owers-I am too old, they say-I spoil
more than / do well. Oh, Gretchen"
the old woman moaned, wringing her
poor, withered hands and rocking gent
ly to and fro in her anguish, whats
to become of us? You're too young,
darlin', and I'm too old, an'-an'
there's no one to help us. There's a
months rent due FIR this room. I've
just enough to meet it and nothing
over. Dear Lord, have mercy on us!"
With a fierce hug Gretchen had gath
cred up the frail form of the old wo-
man in her strong young arms. She
crooned over her and soothed her till
the tears ceased and the weary eyelids
closed, and presently. with Gretchen's
sweet voice humming lullaby mother
had used to sing. Granny dropped gent
ly off to sleep.
For 10! in this dark hour the poor
old soul had become as a child again,
and the little maid had budded out into
a woman.
For two mortal hours Gretchen,
with her burden, never NOV

changing of the trolley gongs; and up
from the river only two blocks away
fioated the sonorious hum of innumer-
