CHAPTER Il.
The Way It Began.

It makes me angry every time think
how tried to make that dinner q
success. l Cancelled theater en-
gagement, and l took the Mercer girls
in the electric brougham father had
given me for Christmas. Their chauf-
feur had been gone for hours with
their machine, and they had tele-
phoned all the police stations without
success. They were afraid that there
had been an awful smash; they could
easily have replaced Bartlett, as Lol-
lie said, but 1t takes so long to get
new parts for those foreign cars.
Jim had house we'll uptown, and it
stood just enough apart from the
other houses to be entirely madden

with basement kitchen and servants

were cellars, as we found out after

room, behind it big living room that

back of all a Georgian dining room.
with windows high above the ground.
On the top floor Jim had studios like
every other one l ever saw-perhaps
a little mussier. Jim was really
grind at his painting, and there were
cigarette ashes and palette knives
and buffalo rugs and shields every
where. 1t is strange, but when think
of that terrible house l always see
the halls, enormous, covered with
heavy rugs, and stairs that would
have taken six housemaids to keep
in proper condition. l dream about
those stairs. stretching above me in
a Jacobs ladder of shining wood and
Persian carpets, going up, up, clear to

The Dallas Browns walked; they
lived in the next block. And they
brought with them a man named Har-
bison, that no one knew Anne said
he would be great sport, because
he was terribly serious, and had the
most exaggerated ideas of society, and
loathed extravaganza, and built
bridges or something She had put
away her cigarettes since he had been
with them-he and Dallas had been
college friends-and the only chance
she had to smoke was when she was
getting her hair done. And she had
singed off quite lot-a burnt offer

We had been the best of friends
ever since. Two days before the wed.
ding he came around from his tailor's,
and we burned all his letters to me-
He would read one and say: Here's
a crackerjack, Kit" and pass 1t to
me. And after l had read it we would
lay it on the firelog, and Jim would
say. Il am not worthy Of her, Kit. !

but the duke of Bedford had been

winter.
You can see that the burning of
the letters, which was meant to be

casion, became actually q two hours
eulogy Of Bella. And just when
was bored to death, the Mercer girls
dropped in and heard Jim begin to
read one commencing dearest Xii"
And the next day after the rehearsal
dinner. they told Bella!
There was very nearly no wedding
at all. Bella came to see me in a
frenzy the next morning and threw
Jim and his two hundred odd pounds
in my face, and although explained
it all over and over, she never quite
forgave me. That was what made 1t
so hard later-the situation would
have been bad enough without that
complication.
They went abroad on their wedding
journey, and stayed several months.
And when Jim came back he was fat
ter than every. Everybody noticed
it. Bella had gymnasium fitted up
in corner of the studio, but he would
not use it. He smoked a pipe and
painted all day, and drank beer and
would eat starches or whatever 1t is
that is fattening. But he adored
Bella, and he was madly jealous OF
her. At dinners he used to glare at
the man who took her in, although it
did not make him thin. Bella was
flirting, too, and by the time they had
been married year, people hitched
their chairs together and dropped
their voices when they were men
toned.
Well; on the anniversary of the day
Bella left him-oh, yes, she left him
finally. She was intense enough about
some things, and she said it got on
her nerves to have everybody chuckle
when they asked for her husband.
They would say. Hello, Bella! How's

The divorce had just gone through

Palafox was the hero. she was incom.
parably the heroine Of the siege Of
Saragossa. one of the most desperate
in modern history and equally daring,
extensively and defensively. For her
brilliant services Spain made her q
lieutenant in the army and bestowed
upon her many decorations. Her name
was Augustine and a. a girl she was
q peddler of cool drinks In the city.
From the beginning to the end Of the
siege she was ever in the heat Of con-
hict and her courage and daring
served to hearten the gallant defend
ers in the darkest hours of those
bloody months. She won the name La
Artillera from having snatched the
match from the hands Of dying gun
ner and discharged the piece at the
invaders. She died In Cueta, Spain. in
1857, at a very advanced age.
The siege Of Saragossa, in which
the maid distinguished herself, was

Eng their every advance. Finally on
August 4, after a fierce cannonading.
the French stormed the place and
forced their way through the walls.
Then followed a week of most des-
perate fighting, carried on in the
streets and from house to house; and
the French troops, brave as they we're
and admirably led and equipped, we're
forced to retreat and raise the siege.
Palafox and his men at once began
making preparations for the second
siege which they knew would come.
On December 20 a French army Of
10000 picked soldiers under Marshals
Money and Mortier encamped before
the walls and at once began vigorous
prosecution of the siege. Finally the
French were successful at all points
and the city wall for one-third its
length was captured.
But though the wall of the town was
in possession of the besiegers their
troubles were only really beginning.
Every house, every street, In tho city
was stronghold in itself. The French
resorted to mining and literally blast

we're met with dauntless courage at
every turn. PestileHce long before had
broken out among the defenders, but

let's they never faltered. On February
IS a grand assault was made by the
besiegers. The city was on fire in a
dozen places and the dead lay un-
buried in the streets. But the Span
iards were unyielding.
The hopelessness of the struggle
had now, however, become apparent
to the Spaniards and the city was sur
rendered. The garrison, reduced to
10000 men, were accorded all the hon.
ors of war. During the siege 10000
persons persisted, most of them by dis
ease. Palafox, the brave defender, in
violation of the terms of capituI1tion,
was sent as prisoner to Viucennes in
France. Later he returned to Spain,
became prominent in its political az
fairs, was created duke of Saragossa
