Nine. Steinheil herself, well aware
OF the trend Of public opinion, was in

ready with new suggestions, and in

1908, brought an accusation against
the servant, Couillard, acd against the
son Of her cook, Alexandra Wolff, i'm.
plicating Nine. Wolf, an old and
trusted servant, as an accessory be-
forc the fact. The evidence against
Couillard consisted OF a pearl from
one Of Nine. Steinheil's stolen rings,
which was found in his pocketbook.
She admitted later that she had
placed it there herself. in order to
brighten him into a confession.
The accused persons were promptly
discharged from custody. but by this
time Nine. Steinheil had involved
herself In such a network Of false
hoods and contradictions, especially
in connection with the stolen jewelry,
which yet was found to be still in her
possession. that suspicion was fully
directed against her. On the night of
November Is, 1908, she confessed her
completely in the murder, and was ar

This il. in brief. the story of the
"Steinheil case" which was conducted
with brutal frankness so far as a gen
eral exposure Of the woman's immoral
life was concerned. but with extreme
circumspection whenever it threatened
to touch upon her relations with sew

the deceased president OF the republic.
Marguerite Steinheil was shown to be
the latest of a long line Of historic
French courtesans, whose opportuni-

The Duchess Approves.
His attentions to the Duchess OF
Breakwater had not been SO conspicu-
Gus or so absorbing as to prevent the
eager mothers-who, true to her word.
Lady Galorey had invited down-from
laying siege to Dan Blair. Lady Ca
lorey asked him:
Don't you want to marry any one
of these beauties. DAM" And Blair.

called his inspired candor. answered:

crossed in them and lived in them. AS
far as Lady Galorey was concerned
the rest OF the world might go and
hang itself as long as 1t didn't do it
at her gate-post. But Blair couldn't
leave any one Indifferent to him very
long, not unless one could be indiffer-
ent to a blaze of sunlight; one must
either draw the blinds down or bask
in its brightness
She laughed. You're perfectly deli
cious! You mean to say you want To-
be married at once and let your wifb

Just that"
How sweet of you. Dan! And you
won't marry one of these girls here?"
Don't fill the bill. Lady Galorey."
"Oh. you have sweetheart at home,

"All off," he assured her blithely,
and rose, tall and straight and slender.
The Duchess of Breakwater had
come in. indeed she never failed to
when there was any question OF find
Ing Blair.
Dan stood straightly before the two
women OF an old race, and the Amer
lean didn't suggest any line of noble
ancestors whatsoever. His features
were rather conglomerate: his mus
cles were possibly not the perfect elias
tic specimens that were those muscles
whose strain and sinew had been
made from the same stock for genera
tons. He was. nevertheless, very
good to look on. Any woman would
have thought SO. and he bent his blond
head as he looked at the Duchess OF
Breakwater with something like be.
nevolence. something of his fathers
kindness In his clear blue eyes.
Neither of the noble ladies vaguely un-
derstood him. His hostess thought
him "a good Sort" not half bad, =
splendid catch. and the other woman,
only few years his senior, was in
love with him. The duchess had mar
ried at eighteen. tired of her bargain
at twenty. and found herself a widow
at twenty-five. She held a TELEGRAM

The spell Of the day. the fragrant

Lord Galorey was sympathetic to him.
The terrier came tearing back with
the chestnut held between his thick
Jaws. Dan bent down to take the nut
from the dog and wrestled with him
gently.
"Swell little grip he's got. Nice old
pup! Let 1t go now!" And he threw
the nut far again, and as the terrier
ran once more Blair thrust his hands
down in his pockets and began softly
to whistle the tune of Mandalay.

attorneys.

Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone,
was prosecuting her by keeping her out
of society circles In Washington. Miss
Margaret Gage, a daughter. joins with
her mother in these allegations, and
following an alleged threat made by
Mrs. Gage that for Bells action in
barring her from Washington society
she would kill him even If she hanged

her confinement In the asylum. That
