idea of marriage. She was too old. She
would have to think the matter over.
Burr took her hand. Nelson Chase,
who was married to her niece. argued
with her. Burr pleaded and Chase added
to what he said. Finally she said she

to her room. Mrs. Chase went with her.

To Burr this marriage seemed like the
opening OF a new life. 1t didn't matter
what people said. For the first time In
his life he was rich. He had great am

New York.
Ten days after the marriage the Colo

She asked about the money. He told
her she was married to man and the
man would take care OF her business
matters. Nine. Jumel had a temper Of
her own. She made some unkind re-
marks. The Colonel suggested that she
go to her room. She made some retort
that cut Burr to the quick. He left
the Jumel mansion and slept that night
