When Spring Came.


That was a cold and lonely winter
for the old a The bay mare stood
In the stable and whinnied for Scay.
The old house was full OF harsh
echoes. Its spirit seemed to have
gone. Seffy's father knew nov whaa
q rare thing Is joy-and what q ~.
Gus creature Seffy had besn.
The ground was hard to till. Asl
often he thought about vhae - ~

Then he would toll up the steep
stair to the garret-he had become
quite ~feeble-and take out Of an old
German chest a daguerreotype Of her

times he would cry over II until his

And sometimes. when his loneliness
was too hard to be borne. he would 20
out and sit for hours and talk TO the
old bay mare-about Sefy. lie fancied
she quite understood, and ! do. too.
When the spring came he plowcd
alone. And this was hardest OF all,
To pillow around and around his vast
fields with no n to meet In the
other furrow--no one to talk. TO smile,
TO laugh to-then. when noon came, to
sit under the shade OF some tree redo

boy. where he and Seffy had sat, from
his childhood to his manhood, and ea'

And he knew that every animal or

STIROVERHETTY GREEN STORY
DENIAL THAT CENTRAL TRIED
TO BORROW FROM HER

Or That the Vanderbilt Jewels Were OT.
Tered as Collateral for q LORn-Harry
Payne whitney Didn't Apply TO Her
for Milton Either, He says.
The statements attributed to Hetty
Green and teleyrsphe1 from Boston aroused
o storm Of protest yesterday and brought
out many denisls when the newspapers
containing them got around yesterday.
+. v ". ROssitcr. Weep resident and
rcneral manager Of tho New York Central
who is also an executor of the estate Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt. when asked about
the matter said:
1T Is both absurd and ridiculous TO say
that tho New York Central went TO Mrs.
Green for a loan. To the best Of my
knowledge the road never went to Mrs.
Green or to her bank. the Chemical
National
Several men prominent in the Street
said openly that they did not believe Mrs.
Green said what she was quoted as saying,
but that II she had been correctly quoted
she needed what she had recommended
fon Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. a guardian.
Harry Payne Whitney was asked about
the loan OF 81 ,0OO, 900 which Mrs. Green Is
described AZ saying he asked her for.
Mrs. Hetty Green is a very old lady
and must be suffering from delusiOns,
replied Mr.. Whitney. Il have never met
her or seen her or had any financial transac-
tOns with her whatever"
While the Street looked upon the inter-
view az a joke the Vanderbilts evidently
do not. because friends who said they were
in a position to speak authOritatively en-
phatically denied that they had ever gone
TO Mrs. Green to pledge their jewels or
that any necessity to pledge jewels had
ever arisen.
Mr. Phelps. who is Mrs Green's repre-
sentative at the Chemical National Bank,
refused to discuss the interview and said
that Mrs Green would be- in the city this
week.
William Edgar Shepard. brOther-in-law
Of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Sr., gave out
the following typewrittsn statement:
If Mrs. Hetty Green made any such
statement a. that about tho Van der
bilt jewels she must be misinformed.
On the face Of it il is preoOste rous.
There can BE- no truth in it what
ever. The idea OF the Vanderbilts turning
TO Hetty Green for money! There have
been too many misstatements made con-
cerning Mrs. Vanderbilt's affairs II was
the same way with that engagement rumor
Mrs. Vanderbilt had decided not to deny
II At all but II vas affirmed and denied from
80 many Various sources that she finally
had TO come out and say it wasn't so. She
has never oven met Count Hadik."
