in itself remarkable, because a dipIo-

son of the Grand Duke Nicholas, the
uncle Of the present car.
Certain 1t is that Mr.. Eddy met
lady of very high rank in Trafalgar

Veloped London, and escoEted her to
her hotel. 1t was during the Queens

Also it is a fact that he has been
most devoted to the Countess Eliza
beth de Marenburg, and that Grand

can, who is one Of his intimate friends.
Grand Duke Michael married for love
against the wishes of the former car.
and was dismissed from his regiment
and banished from Russia. The pres
ent czar restored him.
In order to grasp this real love story
1t is wise to know something about

was born in Chicago. He is a nephew

When the short story Love in a
Fog" was published a few years ago,
1T was admitted to be one of the best
love tales of the year. And it might
well have been, because it is now said
that 1t was a true narrative and that
the hero was Spencer Eddy, at present
first secretary of the American legation
to Constantinople, and that the heroine
was the Countess Elizabeth de Maren-
berg. sister-in-law of the Grand Duke
Michael, of Russia.

famed in the West, and have a patron
age that extends over many states.
Primarily church institutions, they
have grown until the facilities they
offer are sought by thousands. The
others are church auxiliaries, and
while in a measure tending to the per-
petuation of the faith which the moth

advantages Of great value. In fact,

be said the majority of them, have ed
