And now Mrs. D'AQuila sat thinking
over his words, as she had just come
from the chamber OF Brancaster. while
Sartoris, equally thoughtful, smoked
his strong and perpetual cigarettes at
her side. Finally the woman raised
her eyes broodingly to his thoughtful
face as they sat together on a stone

CLARKSON SHUNS
HIS ERRING WIFE

Chicago. March 17.-Mrs. Mabel
Clarkson, repentant of her elopement
with Owen D. Conn, who since has
been characterized a gentleman bur-
glar," waited in vain yesterday for a
reconciliation with her husband, Rev.
Nestor X Clarkson
Worn out by the unavailing nervous
tension of the day she retired at night
too fatigued TO discuss her hopes or
her present situation. She is at the
home of Rev. Alice Phillips Aldrich,
1851 Prairie avenue.
Lying on a couch, she told inquir-
ers last night that she could not talk
over the matter intelligently, but
authorized her intimate friend, Mrs.
Catherine Wolfe of 6253 Madison ave,
nue., to speak for her.
Mrs. Wolfe, who formed a woman's
anti-vice crusade after the Gypsy
Smith revivals several years ago, de-
clared that the crusaders had espous
ed Mrs. Clarkson's cause and would
help her to regain some of her chill
dren and maintain her rights. She
added that Mr.. Clarkson would be
held accountable for his wifes delin
QUency by reason of alleged bruta'
/ treatment his wife says he was guilty
Of before she met Conn.
Rev Isaiah G Martin, pastor o.
Nazarene church at West Sixty-fourtf
street and Eggleston avenue, assekec
that charges of improper conduct haC
been fled against Mr.. Clarkson ans
Joseph Wakefield, his assistant. anC
that unless the two defended them
selves successfully they would be ex
PEELED from the church.
The improper conduct, the ministe
said, was found in the situation exist
ing in the home of Mrs. Dean Kimbal

they regard as guarantee that they
will not come under German control
and possession, while without the fair
haired princess they might have been
grasped in the talo0s Of the German
war-eagle. Eight long years after the
marriage OF the young Queen Whhel
nina TO stolid German prince they
anxiously waited for the arrival Of the
stOrk, and their Joy at the final ap-
pearance Of the national bird was but
little tempered by the reflection that
the new heir TO the throne was not a
boy, but girl.
So Il is that all Holland joyously
unites IN showing the little princess
whatever honor is IN its power. and
that the approaching birthday prob
ably will be almost q big national holt
day. The love felt for the princess is
shown BY the fact that the picture oil
