COUNTESS cAsSlNI.

perhaps a little fractional currency for

parture from the fashionable Maine re-
sort.
Count Cassini is patriot. His coun-
| try is pushed for funds, and, like the
true nobleman he is, he regards it as
his duty to strip his estates, if neces-
sary, in contributing to the govern
ment's needs. So he fastened to cur
