feeling considerably better. when Paul de Sarazin entered. and, like the coach- man he pretended to be, seated him. self far off. with a lump of bread and a glass Of sour wine.
 Over Mrs. Tudor's bonnet this auda- cious fellow raised his eyebrows inter- negatively. and looked a question at Miss Forde. In reply she shook ner head, and was instantly bounced up- on by her companion.
 "Qh ho! So you are making signsr'
 Yes" she boldly confessed He given him. and signed to him no: that was all.'
 possibly the proverbial contrariness of feminine human nature had some- thing to do with Mrs. Tudor's next speech. for. wheeling round In her chair. she called across the kitchen to her supposed .'cocher"-
 Paul de Sarazin. you know you are wild and worthless young scamp, and a shocking example to others"
 Paul instantly put down his bread. rose to his feet, and bowed with the courtesy of his race.
 "oh. you need not smile. for haven't done with you yet! Listenl You must hand me over that one hun- dred louis for the poor of Biarritz: 1t was nearly being the price of our lives"
 Delightful lady" exclaimed hs, coming forward, 1t is yours" and sud- denly sinking on one knee, he kissed her not altogether reluctant hand.
 May I Kiss the other ladys hand?" ne asked, with a glance of appeal
 certainly not" rejoined Mrs Tudor sternly; "she Is totally ignorant of your terrible Spanish etiquette. and you know perfectly we'll, that it would be nighly improper! I wonder you ven- ture to suggest 1t! Your audacity is matchiess."
 As 1t was she who obtained me your pardon. I will venture to do this''- ara, sinking again on one knee, he touched with his lips the hem of He's ters dress, and murmured, A los pies de V. Senorita," then backed away, in the direction of his own meagre re- freshment

CLEVELAND STORY
BOOSTING TAFT WAS A CLUMSY
 FORGERY
The Executor of, the Cleveland Es- tate Says That It Was A
 Pure Fake.

New York Special to The Times this morning prints the following letter from F. S. Hastings. Executor of the estate of the late Grover Cleveland. regarding the authenticity of an article printed by 1t on Aug. 30:
 'S0 Broadway, Sept. 25, 1e0s.-To the Editor of the New York Times: Sir Since our interview of Sept. 22. which was followed on Sept. 23 by the publi- cation in the Times of statement then made by me relative to the article att tributed to the authorship of the late Grover Cleveland. which vas published in The Times on Aug. 30. I now desire to say that there has since come to my knowledge evidence which. leaves in my mind no doubt of the fact that the said article was not written nor signed by Grover Cleveland. and there fore Is, in my opinion. no longer en- titled to credit as his production.
 MrsCleveland. in my judgement. was right In regarding it. when she posi- lively declared to us since It's publica- ton, do not believe 1t is genuine. l therefore hasten to inform you of my conclusion regarding the article. and beg 10 express the hope and belief that you will promptly give to this com munication the same degree of promi- hence in the Times that was given to the statement made bv me in vour issue of Sept. 2s. Yours respectfully.
 "r. S. HASTINGS"
 Intimable friends of Mr.cleveland ex- pressed doubt as to his authorship of it. Mrs. Cleveland expressed the same doubt; but upon the assurance of MT. Hastings that the article appeared to be genuine, the Times printed it.
 Mrs. Cleveland. assisted by the per sonal friends of her husband. then ir- stituted searching investigation of the matter, and MT. Hastings withdrew his endorsment. The announcement in The Times this morning was then de- cfded upon.
 It appears from this announcement that the article was sold to.4The Times by Broughton Bfandenburg. a maga- zine writer, who agreed to pay to the Cleveland estate a percentage of the proceedings of the sale of not only the article in question. but of others which he said had been prepared by him under the direction of Mir. Cleve- land. MT. Hastings. on behalf of the estate, had agreed to accept the terms offered by MT. Brandenburg. which tn- ruced The Times to buy and publish 1t.
 The doubt now thrown upon the authenticity of the article Is likely to cause the recall of hundreds of thou sands of pamphelets containing 1t sent broadcast throughout the country by the Republican National Committee as A campaign document.

more so than many princes-and at least our terrible experience win lead to some good: I can manage much with one hundred louis"
 Yes. as a thank-offering," assented Hester, who was secretly agitated by her hero's unexpected homage. May I add another hundred?"
 Mrs. Tudor was silent. Was this really pious thank offering? or did the girl wish, even in a remote way, to be associated with Paul de Sarazin?
 I will think 1t over. my dear" she answered. with unwonted hauteur, and then lapsed into a prolonged silence. At last she said. q suppose. after all. we must go back with him in the car riage. and trust ourselves to his hon. ourP She paused. and continued: T have always avoided introducing Paul de Sarazin to you. but, you see. that other old woman, Fate. has taken the affair out of my hands!
 Why did you not wish me to know him?" asked Hester. glancing towards the cocher's now empty place.
 Because you are so impressionable at present--swax to receive. but mar ble to retain! You are really but sev- enteen--and did not wish to make you unhappy"
 Does he make people unhappy?' inquired Hester faintly.
  and doubt 1t? And yet he has some excellent qualities--he Is generous. brave, kind hearted. and --"
 At this moment the subject of her euIogy presented himself once more. bearing two punches of primroses, one in either hand.
 Il gat.sred then myself" he explain ed as he advanced; they are my peace offerings" and he rendered them with a bow of exaggerated deference. "The carriage awaits the ladies, and a am their humble servant. promise them a pleasant evening drive and a steady cocher. When they descend at their hotel they will say--The best coachnnan, the best carriage, and the best horses in all Biarritzr'
 As he concluded, he conducted them, tremendously and hat in hand. to the landau. The drive homewards proved an agreeable contrast to the drive out, and In every way delightful, as they were borne sedately along the smooth Basque roads behind pair of steaay horses and a conscience-stricken coachman.
 The surrounding country looked lovely, with the tints or the settins sun, the vivid wild flowers. the bud ding trees, and the blue line of the dis- tant Pyrenees. Mrs. Tudor and her companion were driven m < digninea manner down the streets of Biarritz; but just as they were entering the town the coacher had lent hack and said with the air of confederate
