w and wonderfully versatile man
who was considered genius
by SONG persons and a visionary by
others sat down in the city of London
one day in January. 1906. and poured
out his woes in a letter to his friend
Joel Barlow.
The handsome and versatile man was
Z Robert Fulton. The man he wrote to
had been Minister to France, but had
returned to America.
Fulton was near the end Of his finan-
cial resources. He had dreamed great
dreams. Starting out to be an artist,
ne had left his birthplace, Little Britain,
Lancaster county, Pa. and earned a
living by painting landscapes and por-
traits which he sold to the rich Qua
kers OF Philadelphia. Then he had gone
to England. had won the favor of Ben
jamin West. the Duke of Bridgewater,
the Earl Of Stanhope and other great
men, and much to the regret of West
but Ia the JOY of the Duke and the
Earl. had abandoned art TO take up
mechanics.
Then he had gone to Paris, where he
met Barlow. Fulton, who was one of the
most lOvabe of men, won the hearts
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Barlow. and became
almost a son to them. To the fullest
extent Of his resources Barlow helped
Fulton In his experiments.
Robert Livingston, known to fame as
the Chancellor, succeeded Barlow as
American Minister. Fulton, with the
ardor that had come TO him with his
long line of Irish forebears. pictured to
Livingston the mighty things he hoped
to do. Livingston, with all his legal
dryress, was not devoid of Imagination.
He not only believed that Fulton was
a genius, but he proposed that they
form partnership, he agreeing to
finance Fulton in his projects.
When Livingston, somewhat crippled
financially, had returned to America,
Fulton had gone to England, He hoped
to sell to Great Britain what France
had spurned
There he had his first romance OF
the heart. He was extremely graceful
danced beautifully, was linguist OF
rare accomplishments and was so dis
tinguished looking that he was a
marked man wherever he went. Many
women looked at him with admiring
eyes.
There was one woman in London who
held him in such regard and to whom
he paid so much attention that the
gossips soon began to hint that it
would be a match. The woman was not
young, hut she was bright and clever.
There was no doubt about her love for
Fulton.
Love, he tried to make himself be-
lieve, would come after marriage.
Sometimes he felt sure OF It, but at
others, when he looked at the lady and
considered the difference in their ages,
he thought otherwise. A loveless mar
riage would be a horror.
At last he determined to propose
and with this determination he sat him
down and wrote to Joel Barlow as a
son would to II father

passing into the unresponsive halls of
the Elysee, where he was received by a
few sleepy servants who hardly seemed
to know his identity at first. Once
more, as year previous at Fontaine-
bleau, he swallowed the dose OF poison
which he kept with him, but again
he was saved from a suicides death
when in agony he called for help and
received an antidote.
The Chambers Of Deputies met at the
usual hour and passed a motion de-
manding that Napoleon abdcate for the
second time. For a moment Napoleon
seemed enraged. "If you do not at once
write your abdication," he was told, "the
Chambers will declare you outlawed"
That afternoon he dictated the paper of
abdcation.
Even in this moment of darkness and
despair something remained of the des-
perate hope that he yet could forestall
fate and win victory. For he actually
completed a plan for escaping to the
