The proprietor engaged her to dance
and the place became celebrated.
Then the Maharajah, who had come
to Madrid to visit King Alfonso, and
who always sees the interesting and
curious sights wherever he goes,
went to the little restaurant.
The moment he saw Anita he was
smitten with her wonderful beauty
and fell passionately in love with
her Papa Delgado, enraged at the
prospect of having his breadwinner
taken away from him, Threatened to
kill the Maharajah, but was calm
ed with a present of $4,000.
With this money the thrifty father
moved on to Malaga, where he was
born, and there established nice lit
tie inn, where his two beautiful
daughters waited on the superior
customers.
The Maharajah followed after
them. He could not live without
Anita, and in a few weeks carried
her away and made her a reignng
princess in India.
The fame of the beauty of the two
sisters led to an offer of a stage en-
gagement to Maria, which she ac-
cepted. Tom Winans remained con-
slant in his devotion to her and fol-
soon induced her to marry him.

The prince has had a long, violent
and somewhat amusing controversy
with the Prince de Sagan, VINO is a
distant cousin of his. The Prince de
Sagan says that the other is no
prince and ought to call himself Mr..
Girard." The Prince de Bearn-
Calais has offered evidence that the
title was conferred on mis- ancestors
by the Spanish government, and duly
inherited according to Spanish law.
The two princes have called each
other many names, and hopes have
been entertained that they would en-
gage in some kind of fight.

young Thomas Ross Winans of Bal

of society on two continents.
Young Mr.. Winans Is the son of the
immensely wealthy Ross Winans, of
Baltimore. The Winans family prob
ably realize their own importance bet
ter than any family in America, which
is saying good deal. They have
possessed their fortune, which origi-
nally came from railroad building in
Russia, for three generations, and
this naturally makes them feel very
proud. They have millions of dollars
worth of real estate in Baltimore and
much property in other parts of the
world.

NJ EVER has romance been more
~ perfectly realized than in the
lives of Anita and Maria Del
gado. the former Spanish dancers.
Neither the legend of king Cophe-
tua and the Beggar Maid" nor the
fairy tales of Cinderella exceeds in
picturesque interest the story of
these two surprisingly beautiful but
poor young women.
Once they sold hot chestnuts,
begged for pennies. danced in poor
cafe and waited at table in an inn.
Now one of them has married a reign

son of an American multi-million-

the subsequent cutting off of sup
plies. The young couple, who were
living in Paris, were reduced to great
distress. At first Walter Winans.
the young mans uncle, helped him
with money but his father, hearing
of this, requested the uncle to stop
helping him under penalty of a Sc
rious disagreement. A similar re-
quest to stop helping the nephew
was made to another uncle, Thomas
Whistler, brother of the famous ar
fist, Whistler. Other friends help
ed occasionally. but the young man
was not over thrifty, and gradually
they fell into such distress that, it
Is said, they actually lacked food.
Then a series of cruel misfortuncs
softened the heart of the elder Wi
mans. His daughter, the Princess de
Bearn-Chalais, died very young, and
then his wife and his other son died
suddenly.
Probably under the influence of
these Affections he went over to
Paris to visit his remaining son.
There he met his daugater-in-law for
the first time and was completely
won by her beauty, charm and tact.
This was perhaps the greatest vic
tory ever won by the Delgado sisters.

A Bewildering Complication

At this instant a happy accident
revealed the fact that the Mahara-
JAN was interested in another sister,
Anita Delgado, just as handsome as
the other-almost duplicate, in
fact--but not, in Mr.. Winan's opin-
ion, quite the same winning type of
loneliness. Thenceforth the Hindu
prince and the American million
aires son We're the best of friends.
The history of the Delgado sisters
was fairy tale. They came from
the poorest of the poor and suffered
untold hardships. Only a few years
ago the older sister, Anita, was SELL
ing hot chestnuts at five for cent.
Then she found an additional way
of earning pennies by dancing to
the music of a barrel organ in the
street. She was usually accompan-
led by her sister, Maria.

Many Noble Alliances.

The Maharajah's gracious attitude
has perhaps had some effect in soft
ening the heart of the Winans fam
lily toward the former actress and
inn waitress.
Other members of the Winans
family besides those already mem
toned have married into the Euro

A Shock to Rich MIR. Winans.

They are intimate with the most
aristocratic circles of England and
the continent. Mr. Ross Winans'
daughter, Beatrice Winans, married
the prince de Bearn-Chalais, and died
under very sad circumstances.
1t is perhaps hardly necessary to
explain that the multimillionaire
Winans family did no go to Europe
for the purpose of making matri-
monial alliances with the beautiful
chestnut sellers or any members Of
the proletariat.
1t was therefore q great shock to
Mr.. Ross Winans when he suddenly
learned a little over a year ago that
his only son, Thomas Ross Winans,
had married Maria DelGado, who had
just graduated from waiting at her
fathers inn to be an actress at a

ungrateful young scamp" Such were,
in effect, the messages which Mr..
Winans the elder sent to his son.
The young man was thus left alone
in Europe with a beautiful young wife
and nothing else worth speaking of.
He had met the beautiful Maria
while travelling in Europe, where he
had been sent to improve his mind
by travel and experience. The course
of his wanderings took him to the
picturesque and romantic land OF
Spain. One day he strolled into
modest little inn or cafe in the city
of Malaga.
He sat down to order a glass of
the wine of the country. The most
amazing vision of loneliness he had
ever seen came to take his order. she
