Wife IN NAME ONLY
Marriage for Money and Title
Turns Out TO Be a Real
Love Affair.
BY GEORGE MuNsoN.

All London society was whispering
and questioning, for Lord Rensley
was on his way home to England after
an absence OF year. He had shot
tigers in India, had speared salmon
In Alaska, and hunted grizzlies In the
wilds of western Canada. And all
the while Lady Rensley had kept open
house at the Abbey. Now he was
expected home; he would arrive In
two weeks. Actually he arrived n
week earlier and Unexpectedly.
They had been married nearly three
years before Lady Rensley had been
Miss Edith Kane, of Cleveland, and
her father was one of the twelve
richest men in America. The mar
rage had been considered singuiarly
fortunate, for the Rensley family
dated back Ave hundred years-though
not the title, and his lands were ex-
tensive, although Improbable. Miss
KRne's dowry would restore the old
abbey and enable her husband and
herself to assume their rightful place
in the social hierarchy. And so
Rensley had won the beauty of Cleve-
land.

WILL GO TO SENATE

Washington, Jan. G.-After an in- teryiew between Senator-elect Brous- -.-..... .s...--.-... ........- .sss>..7....- sard, of Louisiana, and President Taft today it was learned that Great Britain is expected to make a formal lapplicat on for arbitration of the Panama canal tolls question.
 This will be in addition to the pro- test of Sir Edward Grey. Broussard called on the President with d view of determining precisely what s the status of the various reported attl- tudes of the president on arbi.ra- tion. The president informed him t'hat he stands for arbitration under what is known as the general arb tration treaty which this country has with Great Britain but which was divested of it's objectionable features by the Senate before ratification.
 From what is learned at the state department it is not likely uAat President Taft will formulate his ideas of arbitration and send them to the senate until after Great Brit ain shall have made her application for arb. tration in a formal manner, setting forth the reasons for her de- mands.
 Under the general arbitration trea- ty the only thing that could be done would be that an equa'h number of the nationals of the United States land of Great. Britain should take mp the question and discuss it with scarcely hope of reaching decis- ion. The matter, however, cannot get even as far as q commission ot the national representatives withou; the consent of the Senate.
