husband 10 England was notable be-
cause it was the first time that the
couple had been allowed to land in that
country since the duke wrote to a
French artist, complimenting him on
caricatures of the late Queen Victoria.
The duchess, before her marriage in
1896, was Maria Dorothea Amelia,
daughter of .Archduke Joseph, of Aus
tria. The duke is the great-grandson
of the last of the French kings, Louis
Philippe, who abdicated the throne in
1s4s in favor of his grandson, the
count of Paris. French royalists, az
many as could be gathered, were pres
ent at the wedding.
Duke Robert was born in 1869, and
succeeded his father, the late count
of rdris, in 1894, as the head of the
royal family of France. His mother
who is still living, was the Spanish in
fanta Louise, of Montpensier. He has
one brother and four sisters, the ED
est of the latter being the charming
queen of Portugal. and the second
Helena, is married to the duke OF
Aosta, the heir-presumptive to the
throne of Italy.

that she was. girl. Her captain
brought her back as cabin passenger
to England, where she fell into the
hands of the police, as 'having no Wis
ible means of support" and has just
been released.
Esther ran away from home because
her half-sister, with whom she used
to live, treated her unkindly. Her par
ents were dead. Big, strong and
healthy, she had been working in the
fields up to the time when the book
about the sailor lass fell into her
hands. Then she decided to cut loose.
First she went to a barber and with
out tremor told him to take of her
long black hair. She had him crop 1T
close to her head. Then she got.
suit of boys clothes and left the
little village, Wishaw, where she was
living, for Glasgow. She got into an
empty compartment" and changed
her clothes between stations.
Soon after she had reached Glas-
gov she postponed her plan of going
to sea for awhile. Instead she worked
as boy in colliery. Wandering
about the streets one night in her male
get-up, somebody offered her chance
in the mines. She took 1t, and for
three months worked in her shirt
sleeves beside the men and earned six
dollars a week. One day, however,
part of the colliery roof underneath
which she worked fell in, just missing
the girl and killing the man next TO
her. This scared Esther SO badly that
she quit the coal business. Her first
plan of going to sea came back to her,
and leaving Glasgow for Ayr on the
seacoast, she prepared to carry it out.
Esther didn't find much difficulty in
getting berth" on board ship. She
signed as cabin boy on vessel called
the Discovery, and it was on this craft
that she took her trip around the
Scottish coast. She called herself Al
Ian Gordon. She was paid of at New.
port, England, and promptly found q
place as cabin boy on ship bound for
South America. After this voyage wal
over she found herself in Cardiff with
about s13 in her pocket. The ship
in which she set off for Alexandris
was named The Gem, and the CIR
