was granted.
He thanked the court for the
review of the case given and for
the kindly remarks in regard to
him. He repeated that he had
told the whole truth and that no
promise of immunity or of mercy
had ever been made him.
Orchard stood motionless during
the ordeal, his hands clasped be-
hind his back and his eyes never
for a second left the face of Judge
Wood, who performed his solemn
duty. Perhaps his face was paler
than usual, once his lips twitched,
but these were the only signs of
emotion.
Perhaps the most significant ex-
preston used by Judge Wood was
the following:
eff there were no moral obliga-
ton on the part of the state to
grant the partial immunity recon-
mended,I would still say that there
could be no good reason in this
case for inhicting the extreme
penalty while so many crimes
have been disclosed that are yet
unpunished."

surprise therefore when his wife
unlocked the door, and he stood
upon the threshold, to have the
lights suddenly flashed on and he
beheld a house full of company
seated at 900" tables. All enjoyed
a good laugh and the cangratu.

Thursday afternoon walking on the K.

and her leg was cut of. She was put
on the train and brought to the gen

on last night. But the shock was too
great; the little girl died at II o'clock.
The children started home. walking
on the railroad track to keep out Of

was about time for the passenger'to
pass.
They saw the train approaching and
started to leave the track when the
little girl caught her foot in a frog.
The little boy strove manfully to re-
lease her, and when he found his ef.
forts useless took off his coat and at
tempted to flag the train. When he
saw he had not succeeded with dis.

BILE in any one and almost beyond be-
lief in one so young. he ran to his sis.

body to one side, out of the way Of

not stop when tagged declared that
so many children played about this
point that the trainmen thought that
it was only some playful prank-and
it was a little boy hero striving for

her to the hospital, and were at her
bedside when the physicians announc.
ed that the shock had been too great
that the little girls school days
were over forever.

Both the Young ladies are pretty, the

and to the younger one, Miss Theo-

lFrenchman at once began paying
marked attention. Not perhaps. in the
frank and direct method of Chicago.
or even Washington, but through the
most progressive French method,
which included the assistance Of his
entire family. but especially his sister.
1.-THE Duchess Dues, wife Of the four
lteenth due Of that name and one OF
the very smartest and most influential
young matrons of the French nobility.
Recognizing in the pretty American
all the possibilities Of a charming wife,
as well as supposed great heiress.
the enterprising young duchess at
once took the shonts family under her
noble wing. which assured them
great social success in Paris.
Extrayagant, even at school girls.
when they bad their own automobile
at a nearby garage, and never were
known to enter car or hired cab, the
fair Americans gave the impression Of
much greater wealth than the two mil.
lion dollar fortune Of the dead Of the
family would seem to justify.
The Due de Chaulnes has a house in
Paris. and a hereditary castle in one
of the French provinces. His income
is small. of course, and in Paris 1t is
well known that for years he has been
seeking rich American wife.
His engagement was at one time
made public to Miss Edna Gebhard.
daughter of William Gerhard. of New
York, who is said to have aided him
peculiarly but who finally broke her
engagement with him.
Paris accredits the dnc with being
one OF the gayest Of the nobility and
with having already spent two inheri-
tances- unnamed.
His family is unquestionably of the
oldest nobility. not alone in France,
but in all Europe. Originally an old
italian family of patrician origin, his
ancestors settled in France, and he Is
connected with the ancient nobility Of
Spain.
The Duchess Dues, the dues sister,
and the Duchess de Luyness. another
sister are said to have arranged the
marriage.
The. Due de Chaulnes first came to
washington last March, when he was
guest at the shonts residence. on
New Hampshire avenue, for month.
The rumor of an engagement was nat
urally renewed by this visit, but when
ever repeated, was denied not only by
the shonts family, but by the due him
self.
