No out-and-out reply to that, either. but

moment fresh from very clarifying heart

real man of the Gould family since the
father, jay. passed to the beyond. 1t had
been miraculous that 1 was even received.
IT had been even more wonderful had Miss
Anna said anything capable of even being
construed as denial affirmation of the
reported matrimonial venture with the actor
man.
And So for some days thereafter. the
actor male strutted the Rialto. giving the
mere tips of his fingers to those of his pro-
fession who had erst befrlended him, and
patroniziug the world in general, that world
seeming very much his oyster perhaps.
Then George Gould came out with two
snappy lines for general publication. That

Miss Anna, and George Gould knew Il. and
George Gould brought his hairy paw down
upon it-with what representations capable
of breaking the will in the matter of his
sister. nobody ever knew viii know.
But the actor person, upon that announce

the side streets for his and even then the

The Howard Goulds and Their Butler.
The active newspaper man in New York
often cuts the trail of the same first fami-
lies over and over again. so that, at a later
time, once more found myself sent out on
a Gould story"
This was a court case. It concerned How
ard Gould and his wife. who had been
Katherine Clemmons, actress, before her
marriage to Howard Gould. The Howard
Goulds were the defendants. The plaintin
was one of their buffers. The man had
lost the sight of one of his eyes In their
service and by the same mishap. his face
had been rendered hideous. He had, upon
Instructions from Mrs. Gould been setting
off some defective fireworks board the
Howard Gould yacht. when the fireworks
prematurely exploded. in his face, taking
away one of the buffers eyes, and making
of his countenance a thing not to be beheld
with equanimity. The man wanted some
damages. He had no work. could get no
work in his MANNED and crippled state. He
wanted some damages He had been turned
adrift after his sore accident, TO sniff for
himself. IF ever man had case at law

who scratched even the surface of the mat

All the same the Gouldsv-Ho&ard Goulds
came into court upon that pltiful matter.

They have since been in court many times

the Howard Goulds was started in the
court. 1t was a sad business TO listen 20
The man with the rocket gouged eye told
mis- simple story, and OF the fight he had
been making to get mere bread since the
dreadful accident.
George Gould. who had been away tour tour
ing his railroad system, only got back the
day after the case began. He had not
known probably, of the case getting into
court But the case did not progress on
the second day. 1t was suddenly ad1ourned,
