GREAT LOVE STORIES

NELSON AND LADY HAMILTON
BY ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE
Copyright h1 tia Author,)

A little one-armed man and a WON
an as wicked as she was beautiful
the naval hero of England and an ex-
chambermaid-are the hero and hero
inc of this story.
The man was Horatio Nelson; the
woman, Lady Hamilton. Nelson was
the younger son of an English clergy
man. He had, as boy, craving for
the sea; received an appointment as
m1dshipman, and by sheer genius rose
to the ranks of admiral. He was
also created a viscount in the British
peerage,. and was the nations idol.
Lady Hamilton began life as domes-
tic servant. Her name was Emma
Harte. firing of the duties of cham
bermaid, she became waitress in a
tavern. Later, after rather doubtful
career, she attracted the notice of
old Sir William Hamilton, British am
bassador at the court of Naples, and
married him.
Nelson could not withstand a pretty
face. He had long line of inno-
cent but ardent love affairs. AS a
mere youth he fell in love with a
Quebec girl and was with difficulty
persuaded not to marry her. Next he
e,,. proposed to Miss
WV Andrews in the
N"es' west Indies. The
match was broken off, and he became
enamored of Mrs. Montray, a dashing
widow.
IF it were not for her." he wrote
to friend, II believe l should hang
myself"
But Mrs. Montray left the West In
dies, and Nelson transferred his af-
fections to another widow, Mrs. Mis-
bet To win the favor of this second
widow this national hero used to play
"sea fights" under the dining room
table with her children. In March,
1887, he and Mrs. Nisbet were mar
ried. Nelson was at that time 49,
Until he was 40 their welded life was
happy. Then trouble set in.
While Nelson was in command of
the Mediterranean, after he thrashed
Napoleon's fleet at the battle of the
Nile, he met Lady Hamilton Her
husband begged leave to introduce to
her "a little man who cannot boast
of being handsome, but such a man
as will one day astonish the world"
Nelson had never seen so beautiful or
clever woman. He looked upon her
with a sort of reverent admiration.
When she used her influence at the
Naples court in behalf of the British
fleet he felt bound to her by unbreak-
able ties of gratitude. Her influence
over the simple, impulsive admiral
grew to be boundless.
There was revolt that ousted the
Neapolitan king and queen from their

accioli had been promised a free pay
don for his share in the revolt, ana
to consent to the unfortunate mans
execution. This is the blacklist stain
on all Nelson's record. A woman's
wiles had for once made him forget
honor, friendship and fairness.
AS time went on Nelson's infatua-
tion for Lady Hamilton grew to be the
scandal of Europe. The Admirals
faithful wife endured it for years, then
told Nelson he must once and forever
choose between Lady Hamilton and
herself. He did so. As result Lady
Nelson left their house, and only
once again did she set eyes on her
husband. She was not clever. She
had no weapons with which to cope
with the charms of her more beautiful
rival. So Lady Hamilton won the
strange duel of wits, and Nelson was
henceforth her devoted slave. The
deserted wife according to story
told by her grandchild) used secretly
to kiss Nelson's miniature portrait,
and spend hours gazing on it, even
when she was a very old woman.

Whether she really was ambitious to
increase his fame or merely wanted
him out of the way for time cannot
be known. In any case, Nelson re.

for him and warmly praised her for it,

overcame the largest French fleet in

Lady Hamilton, after Nelson's death,
quickly squandered her small fortune.
She was cast into prison for debt. On
her release she went to France to
drag out a handto-mouth existence,
dying at Calais in 1915. The greatest

counted on strawberry short-cake for

The cook stood there loaded with
ammunition. Miss Nellie selected four
or five stones and drew a long
breath, and away they went one after
the other. The human form uttered
yell of establishment and grunt of
pain and rolled over to scramble I'M

"Well, let me tell you it wasn't that
boy or any other boy. It wasn't a cat

But what was he doing here? I

berries I'm glad l hit him. It was

The two waited around for a spell,
prepared for second bombardment
but the tramp had enough and moth
ing more was seen of him.
It was three o'clock the next after
noon when Miss Nellie was doing in
her hammock on the veranda that the
cook came out on tiptoe to shake the
girl by the shoulder and whisper:
"Tramp-strawberr bed-stones!"
"What-is he back?"
"Ie is-some one! I've collected
the most beautiful heap of stones you
ever saw, and l believe you can kill
him this time!"

Well, I'll show him that strawberry
beds in this neighborhood are not free

stones left the hand of the indignant
girl and she was about to throw the
fifth one when the cook caught her
arm and exclaimed:

Heat Radiated by Stars,

From time to time scientists en-
deavor to measure the heat radiated
from some of the brightest stars. One
of the most successful efforts in this
direction was prosecuted under the di-
rection Of the astronomers at the
Yerkes observatory. With the aid of
an apparatus recalling the principle of
the Crookes radiometer, they have as
certained that the star Vega, which
shines very brilliantly near the zen.
18th in midsummer evenings, sends to
the earth an amount Of heat equal to
that of an ordinary candle six miles
distant. Arcturus, the star celebrated
by Job, which has a somewhat fiery
color, radiates about twice as much
heat as Vega.-lIrrper's Weekly.

GEORGE " AND MRS. FITZHERBERT

At the time when King George III.
OF England was losing his long fight
against the American colonies the eld-
est of his nine sons was beginning to
cause that stubborn ruler almost as
much sorrow as was our revolution.
This son, George Augustus F'reder-
lick, prince of Wales, was later to be-
come George w., and the great-uncle
OF England's present king. He was
about the most worthless specimen Of
humanity that ever disgraced the Brit
ish throne. Nevertheless, as a young
man, his good looks, magnetic person
ality and surprising charm of man.
ner won for him the title of "the first
gentleman of Europe" His intensely
proper old father brought him up in
rigid teachings of morality and pro-
priety. But before he was p the
prince plunged into every known vice.
Choosing for his friends the widest
youths of the day, George ran the
gamut of low dissipation. His morals
were the scandal of the court. His
gambling was worse than reckless. He
drank heavily. Worse than all, he
had not an atom of honesty in his
makeup. He cheated outrageously
WEIGHED" on his gambling debts and
employed such crooked methods in
games of chance that the Jockey club
is said to have refused him the privi-
leges of the betting ring. Nor was it
only in sporting matters that this first

violated England's constitution, was a
most abandoned liar, false to his tru-
est friends and devoid of the first prin-
ciples of decency.
Americans who detest the memory
of George III. for that monarch's treat
ment of our country may be interest
ed to know that he suffered untold
misery for his sons vile behavior and
was forever involved in trouble over
the princes endless misdeeds. The
young man allied himself with the
statesman Fox and others of his IA
Tiers political foes. His gambling
debts were so huge that parliament
was frequently called on to appropri-
ate money for their payment. His in
come of 100000 year was spent be-
fore it was drawn.
In 1855, when he was only %, the
prince fell in love with a widow, Mrs.
Fitzherbert. who was six years older
than himself. She was different from
most of the women he had met in that
she seemed more or less Indifferent to
his destinations. This served to make
the spoiled youth all the more eager
to win her. Mrs. Fstzherbert had be-
gur life as Maria Anne Smythe, girl
of no especial rank or expectations.

There's a boy in the strawberry
bed!"
Next to the Widow Fenwick's coun-
try house was the cottage of Mr..
Davis, and between the two was a
large strawberry bed. This summer
the Davis family was away among
relatives in the west, and before going
1t was understood that the yield of
that strawberry bed was to 60 to the
Fenwicks for the picking. Miss Nellie
Fenwick had pushed her way through
the bushes more than once while the
vines were in blossom to weed the
grass and dead vines.
The bad boy of the village had
come with the first berries. He had
come to eat his fill, but Mollie, the
Fenwick cook, had given the alarm
and Miss Nellie had rushed out. She
was no Splinter to overtake bare
footed boy, and her voice was too
gentle to brighten him. She had,
therefore, thrown stones at him from
behind screen of bushes. She could
equal him at that. She had dropped
the first under his nose, taken his cap
off with the second, and with the third
she had sent him away bowling.
The boy had returned next day and
the next. He had seen the girl in the
act of throwing. He had been taught
to believe that no girl ever born could
hit haystack 20 feet away with a
stone. He had been hit, but he laid
1t to accident He was hit again, and
again he howled and fled, but he
would not believe until after the third
trial. Then he got missile on the
ear and retreated to find safer plum
der. Four days had passed when the
cook came running in to give the
alarm. She had caught sight of an
other trespasser. She couldn't throw
for shucks herself, and it was her duty
to report to one who could.
Back again, is he?" exclaimed the
girl, as she started up. Nov, then,
you gather q whole apronful of stones
and I'll show him that Pm in earn

When Miss Nellie reached the
bushes and carefully peeped over she
saw human form on it's knees among

So she had. The human form was
lying on its side, and leg was kick
ing now and then. Miss Nellie was
frightened. She turned pale and whis-
pered:
Molly, suppose I've killed him!"
Huh! You can't kill tramp with
an ak. He's just stunned. He'll come
to directly and take skate"
But he didn't. They waited five min
utes and then pushed their way
through the bushes and came upon
sight to make them gasp. 1t was
young man lying among the strawber'
ries, and he was bleeding profusely
from wound in the temple. He was
the one stoned the day before, but
he was far from being a tramp.
"Quick-to the house and get
bandage and some water!" ordered
Miss Nellie as soon as she could make
out what had happened. And while
the cook was gone she did her best to
stanch the flow with her handker-
chief. The victim moaned, but did
not open his eyes. When the cook
returned, the wound was bathed and
bandaged. During this operation the
fearful, trembling mistress of the
kitchen whispered:
eff he's dead, Miss Nellie, and they
go to hang you, III lie and say that
threw the stones!"
She was sent to notify the stable
man, and he in turn stopped a passer-
by on the highway, and the still un-
conscious victim was carried to the
house and laid on bed. Then the
doctor was telephoned for. Fifteen
minutes after his arrival he had re-
stored the young man to his senses.
Then he gave him an opiate. He heard
the story of the stone-throwing and
then gravely replied:
"You might have killed him. AS 1t
is, he will live, but he must remain
here for at least week, and during
that time you must be his nurse. In
fact, I don't know but what you'll
have to marry him in the end. You
see, he can bring charge OF at
tempted assassination against you and
send you to prison, or the wound may
result in loss of memory unless you
two fall in love-"
The girl ran away, blushing poppy
red, but there was no doubt that she
had some little curiosity regarding her
patient. This could not be gratified
until next day, when she carried in his
chicken broth, with her mother chaper-
oning her on one side and the cook on
the other. Mr.. Clarence Dart, as he
proved to be, was weak but smiling.
The doctor had ways about him. He
now put one of his ways forward by
keeping that young man in bed for
four days when he was able to walk.
Then he insisted that he play conva-
descent and sit on the veranda with
pillow behind his back for week.
and that, after being able to play GRO
quet and walk two miles without
stopping for breath, he should visit
the widows house once a day and do
a heap of talking to the daughter.
That daughter finally stopped him one
day as he was passing and asked
doctor, do you regard Mr.. Dart as
thoroughly cured?"
mo, ma am, I DON'T" was the
prompt reply. "He is in love with
you, and if you don't say yes within
a fortnight he's liable to go into con-
vulsions and swallow his Adams ap.
pie"
Mr.. Dart was not called upon to
convulse.

mitted by surprising number of peo-
pie throughout the country, and he il
