common life as IL nothing of this sort
had happened.
Count Boni began to receive on Satur-
day, by mail and In person, lavish offers
Of assistance. More than one blank
check was given him to be filled in by
himself of his own discretion. But he
declined all these offers. 1t may be that
he did go because he knew that II hts
efforts to henl the breach between him
self and his "spunky" American wife
should fail he would be plunged by these
new loans into inextricable ruin.
Still Trying to Placate Her.
II is known that Count Boni is still
making desperate effort to break down
the Countesss resolution TO have no
more to do with him. He plays es-
pecially through his chief intermediary,
upon her former intense desire to have
him distinguish himself in politics
only month ago the Countess was
giving instructions TO his electioneering
agent in the Basses-Alpcs District, in
which the Count Is contesting for a
seat In the Chamber of Deputics She
impressed upon this agent that the
Count must be returned by triumphant
majority. or as she said with all pos
sibie emphasis, your head will answer
for H."
In point of fact. 1t is the Countess's
money alone which kept the Count in
the Chamber OF Deputies. 1t will be re-
nlembered that the validity of his cleo
ton was disputed the last time on tho
ground that 1t was accomplished by
shameless bribery. This second election,
IL he succeeds, will have been brought
about by still more defiant use of
American money.
This bribery now takes a more elusive
form. such az. for instance, presents of
silver and gold watches to electors and
renting unpaid rents OF tenants. AT
least ten watches are still shown about
the countryside at 1.-The watch OF Mon
sieur lie Comte.'

is. even II something of dandy. Here
says he, and hands me this watch out

wrong says the Count. you just take it

make 1t go at my expense.

end in shameful downfall at the forth
coming elections. Even his secretaries
were paid handsome salaries with the
Countcss's money. 1t is well known that
without the aid of these secretaries, who
are always trained Journalists. the Count
could never utter phrase in the Cham
Der. or even get an article In any journal
to maintain his reputation as an expert
in foreign politics.
