and he said to the officer in charge
of the Duke:
BE gentle to that young man. Let
him see his friend as often as he
likes. There is even no harm If they
go out quietly in the evening"
The Duke seized the opportunity
to escape. Just as his followers were
preparing to shed their bitterest tears
over his sufferings he was fleeing the
country, escorted and protected by
Nine Melba.
1t was ever thus. Sometimes he
would issue heroic manifesto telling
Frenchmen that he would lead them
on to glory, and at the critical mo-
ment an indignant husband would
drive him to cover.
The Dukes devotion to Melba con-
tinued for an unusually long time,
although it did not interfere with
lesser affairs. His behavior led to
the breaking of his engagement to
his cousin, Princess Marguerite of
Orleans, daughter Of the Duke of
Charities. This was arranged for him
by his family, and considered a very
suitable match, but even French
royalties could not force a young
Princess to marry a man who be-
haved like the Duke.
A few years later he married his
distant cousin, the Archduchess Maria
Dorothea of Austria, probably be-

Brussels, June 20.


A NEW disgrace has crowned the
"A career of Europe's uncrowned
- royal rake, the Duke of
Orleans.
His wife, the former Archduchess
Maria Dorothea of Austria, has sued
him for a separation and an account
ing for her property, most Of which
he has squandered on worthless
parasites. Such a proceeding by a
Catholic Princess is almost unheard
of, and proves the outrageousness of
the Dukes conduct.
His Highness is the royalist pre-
tender to the throne Of France, the
head of the French BourbOns. His
great-grandfathe was King Louis
Philippe of France, and his great
great-grandfather was the Duke OF
Orleans, who voted for the execution
of his own cousin, King Louis XVI,
in the French Revolution. Although
without a throne the Duke is the
head of the most historic royal house
in the world.
The Duke is now living near Brus'
sells, having made England and other
countries too warm for him. He
trained ut Brussels under the guild
ance of the late King Leopold, and
has already surpassed the wicked
doings of that monarch in many
WAYS. Although he is not charged
with the cruelties of Leopold, he has
far Outstripped him in extravaganza,
riotous living, shameless public eX-
bibiticn of himself with parasites of
both sexes and general sensual
prohigacy.
Orleans prides himself greatly on
his resemblance to his famous an
cestor, Henri Quatre, the hero of
Macaulay's lines:
Look where We see my white plume
shine amid the ranks of war,
And be your oritlamme to-day the
helmet of Navarro.
Henry of Navarro was not more
distinguished in war than for his
generosity to his many fair favorites.
The Duke of Orleans has never dis
tinguished himself in war and is
never likely to, but in the other
matter he has beaten his famous
ancestor.
Like Henry of Navarro he has a
long nose, a high, full cheekbone and
a singularly sensual expression Of
face. In order to heighten the re
semblance the Duke trims his hair
and whiskers in exactly the same
manner as his illustrious fOrbear.

appeared that she could never have
children, and he expressed great In
dignation at this, for a royal pre-
tender must have children to Inherit
his pretensions. The poor Duchess
wept long and bitterly, and finally
was forced to go to her mother for
protection. She underwent two
operations, but without increasing
her prospects of maternity.
Not having done anything to
make himself popular in France for
some time the Duke thought he saw
a fine opportunity during the Boer
war. There was then, Of course.
much anti-English feeling in France.
The Duke thought he would crafty
this feeling by writing a letter of
eongratulation to the cartoonist, VIII
lette, who had published a horribly
gross caricature Of Queen Victoria.
Strange to say, his letter aroused
little enthusiasm in France.
In England, on the contrary, 1t
aroused fury. He was forced to re-
sign from every English club he be-
longed to and warned that the coun-
try would be too hot for him. 1t
must be remembered that his family
had been welcomed to England by
Queen Victoria after being kicked out
of France in 1S4S.
He stayed away from England, but

wear them. ransomed them at great
expense from the actress, using the
last Of her own money and borrowing
more from her family for this pur-
pose. She brought 100000 to the
Duke on her marriage, and practi-
cally all Of this has been squandered.
Both she and her mother have been
ruined financially by him.
His conduct has caused the most
intense distress to his three hand
some sisters. ex-Queen Amelie of
Portugal, Princess Helene, Duchess
of Aosta, and Princess Louise, wife
of Prince Charles of Bourbon.
These princesses induced King
George and Queen Mary to pay the
Duke a visit at Wood Norton two
years ago as a token that they for
gave him and recognized that be was
trying to do better Now, Queen
Mary is naturally furious at the re-
ports Of what he is doing at Brussels.
No one favOrite has ever held the
Dukes interest for very long. There
are many of them, but one is rather
more conspicuous than the others for
a period, and then passes into OBJ
security. So it was with Ninette des
Melays. She is no longer seen in his
society.
The latest object of his admiration
is a remarkable woman, Nine Auff
mOrdt. She belOn; to an excellent
family of the French aristocracy, and
before her marriage was Countess
Baconniere de Salverte She then
married a wealthy manufacturer of
German origin. She has been very
much with the American set on the
Continent, and this has even given
rise to the report that she is an
American. For her he has rente1 a
charming chateau at Putdael, near
Brussels.
They give amazing banquets,
where, after hearty consumption Of
wine, plans are made to destroy the
French republic. Instead of being a
danger to the republic the Duke has
really become a walking disgrace to
royalty.
The very latest report is that the
Duke will run away from his troubles
by taking ship for foreign parts
under an assumed name with his
charmer.

Nine. Melba, the noted operate
singer. She suggested to him a way
of making himself hero in France.
There is law forbidding a pre-
tender to the throne or his direct
heir to reside in France. The Duke
went to Il provincial town under an
assumed name and declared that he
had come to perform his regular
military service. He was accepted
by the local officers, but in about
twenty-four hours they discovered
who he was.
He was put under arrest, but the
Government felt embarrassed. for it
was an awkward thing to imprison
young man for trying to do his
duty to his country. That was Just
what he and his royalist friends ex-
pected. Their newspapers began to
print indignant articles about the
shame of keeping the young Prince in
vile dungeon for the crime of try
ing to serve his beloved Fatherland.
Sympathetic Nine Melba went to
see him in his dungeon. The crafty
French Prime Minister noted this.

to his liking. He began to go there
in the time of old King Leopold. To-
gether they frequented the cafes and
cabarets and side doors of theatres.
The old sinner taught the young rake
all he knew.
The Duke had severed his friend
ship with Nine, Melba, and this
seems to have marked a downward
turn in his career. At Brussels his
favOrite companion was Ninette des
Melays. a very pretty, but vulgar,
Partisan actress.
