Marlborough was heartbroken. He

cretly to the day of his death. Soon
afterward, when he went away from
home, she wrote to him: I
Wherever you are, whilst ! have
life, my soul shall follow you.
In reply, the duke wrote:
~ do love and adore you with all
my heart and soul. It is impossible
to express with what heavy heart I
parted from you. ! could have given
my life to come back to you"
Just before the duke left England
on his Blenheim campaign he and
Sarah had one of their bitter Quarrels.
AS soon as he had gone Sarah was
sorry for her anger and wrote him a
long letter asking forgiveness; to

placid good nature gave ont. There
was a last hot quarrel during which
Sarah is said to have boxed the
queens ears. AS a result the MARI
boroughs were dismissed from court,
deprived Of their high Office. But the
Idisgrace served only to lraW them
closer together. They left home and
went to the Netherlands, where they
lived in seclusion until Anne's death.
Then they came back to England,
where, in 1922, Marlborough eied.
Thus, after "A years of ideally hap.

John Lane felt it, without exactly
knowing that he did,. He had always
admired her distantly, always liked
her in careless, youthful fashion. But
he had told himself always, likewise
his mother, that when it came to mar
rying it would be to more than q
pretty face. His wife must be above
the average way. Then, further, she
must have some money; not fortune,
but dowry that would save her from
the suspicion Of being mercenary. The
Lanes were rich. John, only son and
heir, was a plain gplodding fellow, with
q sense Of human values. He could
never, he told himself, quite believe
that very pretty and very poor girl
would love him disinterestedly. q

very pretty and very poor, was tang

wealth consisted Of youth, brains, good
looks, boundless ambition and a com
Portable lack Of conscience, Also.
though their marriage was largely
based on the principles of business
partnership and hopes of self-advance,
ment, they were overwhelmingly in
love with each other. With the aforse-
said qualities as their sole stock in
trade they rose rapidly to. height of
fame, wealth and power that made
them the envy Of all Europe. The
girl was Sarah Jennings, daughter OF
