CHAPTER VIII. KNam Grae@ ae VNeaaex


 There are several portraits exthnt of Robert EscIade. fifth Duke of Weasex. notably the one by Antonio Moro in the Pitti Gallery at Florence.
 But in the somewhat stiff portraituFe of that epoch. 1t Is perhaps a aittla difficult to trace the real fnsa@@. fhe inner individuality, of one of the m0st interesting personalities at the Court af Mary Tudor.
 There is. however. q miniature Of him. attributed to Holbein. and csr- tainly drawn by the hand of q great master which renders with greater truth and loving accuracy the peculiar charm made up of half-indolent non- chalance, gracious condescenstou, and ha aghty reserve which charaeters1ed the Duke of Wessex--so justly styled Eis Grace!
 The reserve was so little apparent. The nauteur only came to the surface in response to unwelcome familiarity. But the debonnair indolence vas ale ways there. the lazy droop of the lids, the nonchalant shruR of the shoulders when grave matters were discusseds and also that obvious fastidiousneBs. q love of everything that was beautiful. from a fine horse down to a piece Of delicate lace. which annoyed the mere sedate-m.nded courtiers of the Queen
 And. with 1t all. that wonderful vir- ssAA& light in gaiety and laughter, which lent to the grave face at times q spark of almost boyish exuberance; that mad. merry. proud insouciance. which throughout his life made him meet every danger, aye! every sorrow and disgrace. with the same bright smile on his lips.
 Scheyfne. in his letters to the Empa- TOT Charles V. says of the Duke ef Wessex that he was insufeTably con- ceited: "il est tres orgueilieux de ga beaute personeIle. laquelle eertes eek plus que mediocre"
 Noailles. too. speaks of hfm ass ''moult fatueux ct vaniteux de s@ per- sonne"
 But 1t was hardly likely that these foreign delegates. each bent upon theiT own schemes. would look with favour hlpon His Grace. His only merit in their eyes was that same characteristic indolence of his. which caused man of his great wealth and boundiess tst- duence to abstain from politics.

SUICIDE OF

RESPONDENT FROM ILLNESS

Even as the other members of the family of J. D. Phelps assembied m the dining room of his home. 70 Roo- inson Street, at 12:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon, they heard the munied report of a pistol shot with which Miss Hattie Lou Phelps, IS years old. his daughter. fulfilled the threat made more than once. that she would kill herself.
 when Mir. Phelps and others finally forced the locked door of her bedroom across the hall. they found Mss Phelps lying dead upon the blood stained foor Tn her left temple was a bullet wound from which the blood stiil oozed: by her side was the Ss- calibre revolver with which she had ended her life.
 The despondency that had increased with each day of a long illness, more truly the despair of ever regaining the form of health without which even youth is hopeless. had at last come to a crisis of mental insanity. and the young woman, who for weeks had suf- fered from nervous collapse, terfni- mated the existence she could no long CT endure.
 Miss Phelps had never been strong. ! but for the last several weeks her physical condition had become gradu- ally worse. Little by little her ner- vous system had given way. and with it was lost her mental balance. For more than a month she had interfnit- tently remained in bed, only infre- quently having strength to arise. For the past day or two, however, she seemed better. though not so well as that her refusal to go to dinner occa- stoned surprise.
 Several times, it is said, she had threatened that she would end her life, but, though the family watched her closely, the threats had been vague, and, it was thought, idle. She had seemed more cheerful than usual yes- terday and none of her family enter tainAd the slightest suspicion Of the imminence of self-infiicted violence.
 Coroner W. H. Tfce, who inspected the body shortly after the death, gave a verdict that the decedent had come to her death by intentional suicide, due to despondency and Ill health.
 It was at about 12:30 o'clock yes- terday afternoon that Miss Phelps end- ed her life Her parents, Mir. and Mrs. J. D. Phelps, and her sisters and one or two friends of the family, had just taken their places at table for dinner when she fired the shot Before they entered the dining room her sisters had been with Miss Phelps for short time, and on leaving her in her bed- room asked her to join them, but she declined, pleading illness as an excuse. She did not, however, they said yes- terday, seem desperate. but on the oth- CT hand in better spirits than usual.
 But they had hardly left her room
