I don't want to marry him." said
Ella, "and / will not" She said all
this very decisively.
Her aunt looked at her kindly.
Ella" he said, "your father has lost
lot of money. He wants you to
chance to save the family; M. De
Crisson has struck it very rich in his
American mines; besides, he seems
such a very courteous, amiable man..
Inded, II l were of your age, 1 don't
believe l could object to him, my
dear"
The one great thing that reconciled
Ella to the engagement to a man she
did not love was the kindness Of the
man himself.
why, / don't want Ella to love me
too quick" said M. de Crisson. I'm
not one Of those foreign affairs one
reads Of, looking for rich American
wife. In fact, I've got more than her
old man has. l don't want Ella for
money l just love Ella, because, 1
suppose, she Is Ella"
This he had said to the aunt when
she had told him that Ella did not
really love him. Il think" said the
aunt, that she has a horror of mar
rying one who has a title and money,
because people would say she married
him because of the money and title"
'Oh, - it," exclaimed M. de Girls
son, Il thought that was t. Am l to
blame because l have a De on my
name or because 1 hustled and made
mooney? All my friends in the West
don't cal me De-De-Anything; they
cal me Jack. Just like they call other
Jacks Jack In America"
Ella, as women will, had clandes-
timely heard the conversation, and
gradually, as the earth in the sum
mer time blossomed in every direc-
ton, she let forth little tendrllls of
love that wound round the heart of
M. de Decentralization Jack"
Meanwhile M. de Crisson's mine
was not doing so well. 1t was peter
ing out So one of his partners
piditSu SoIfle. but tle mine got
worse and worse. Shares droppedp.
M. de Crisson was charged with hav-
ing "salted" the mine.
Promptly he wrote to Ella releas-
ing her from her engagement. There
has been trickery," he wrote, but I
have paid over all the money coming
to the shareholders. / have some left,
but, of course, not what you would
expect were you to have accepted my
self and my dubious future"
Ella showed the letter to her aunt.
Just as I expected" she said. IT
thought once he had money; but he is
just an adventurer. l suppose YOU
didn't bother about writing an am
swer?'
Indeed, I did," said the girl. II
refused absolutely to terminate the
engagement"
"You must be In love with him?"
said the aunt scornfully.
II certainly am" replied the girl,
but not half as much as he de-
serves"

party seated themselves in car
riages and we're driven through the
city to the naval hospital cemetery
grounds at Tidewater, where the
Union and Confederate veterans of
Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkeley
were already assembled, awaiting
the arrival of the president. A sa-
lutte was fired when the president
entered the cemetery grounds and
proceeded ito the grand stand, from
which he addressed the assembled
veterans and citizens.
The president said in part:

Spinner Memorial Statue.

Many are asking why some definite
action has not been taken toward assign
ing a site for the life-size bronze statue
Of Francis r. Spinner. some time a
Representative in Congress from the
State OF New York. and cor more than
fourteen years Treasurer OF the United
States. During fourteen years OF severe
financial stress. which included the
period Of the civil war, and one great
financial panic. he served his country
well His advocacy of tlIe rights OF
women TO hold positions in the Treasury
Department made him a pioneer in the
behalf of the employment OF women in
the public service. Those who had
served under him organized an ag5ocia-
ton known as the Spinner Memorial
Association. and collected sufficient
funds from the many who had served
under Mr.. Spinner 10 provide for the
execution Of a bronze statue for the for
mer Treasurer.
More than ten years have passed since
the completion Of this work by EIIicutt,
the sculptor. For nearly a year the
statue was stored with the Washington
Safe Deposit Co, and for more than nine
years the COTcoran Gallery OF Art has
acted as its custodian. Nearly sixteen
years have elaused since the death of

site should a. once be provided.

that during the recent trip abroad Of

given to Kaulbach for four portraits,
two Of Mr.. Rockefeller and one OF hls
wife ard one OF his daughter These
portraits were entered at the New York
custom house at a valuation OF 1880
each. the amount as stated by the owner
which was paid 10 the artist. The sus-
picion of an undervaluation resulted ia
their submission TO ,he expert. with the
result of a decision that the portraits
