OF kings. I'm looking for a wife who
has little money. There's just $1,000
in It for you TO introduce me TO such
q woman "
The man whose cousin was king
pricked up his ears as Joe" McVey
told OF Irene Clayton, spinster. 81
years old, and with "a little money"
McVey forgot 10 add that the
spinsters little fortune was so tied
up as not 70 be readily converted into
cash.
Never was there wore assiduOus a
courtship. In three days the engage
ment was announced, the whole coun-
tryside was in an uproar and the
Clayton family modified all its mem
hers I'm an effort to head off the inn
pending wedding
His "lordship" insisted upon an
early marriage. There was a legacy
in Scotland, an estate left by a
grandmother. and II would revert to
the crown unless he married within
the month

her. but she died and vowed never

$1,000 Wedding Feast.
Stanley came to Ellton and tried
TO employ n lawyer 10 make over a
dover OF $4,000. He arranged a
81 900 wedding feast. ordered $500
worth OF flowers and promised the
Rev. r. II. Taylor 5000 to tie the
marital knot He talked OF inviting
the Belmonts and my bosom friends
the Vanderbilts." Then the brothers
Clayton started to look up Stanleys
connections
Stanley got an inkling Of this and
decided upon drastic action. He Dor
rowed $3.50 from his bride-to be,
bought a license and got a preacher
who was willing to do the Job for 40
cents. The following morning Lord
Harry" left for Rising Sun to get
his seven trunks" which were COM
ing from Rochester. He went on
feet and alone and didn't come back
until arrested some time-later FOR de-
sertion.
Lord Harry tried several Jobs in
an effort to earn enough money for
his "duches OF Aberdeen and Dud-
lev" but when the experience OF an
other wife became known, he again
disappeared. II was then learned
that he had worked / ma CONN fac
tory in West Grove. that he had been
female impersonator in burlesque
troupe and that he had imposed upon
a preacher in Philadelphia.
His nearest relationship TO King
Edward was no more than a mutual
descendancy from Adam and Eve.
He was close 10 so years old when
he died, and. though somewhat stoop-
ed OF shoulders ad shabby OF attire,
could still enact the role Of cousin
OF the king" though another op-
portunity never offered.

thusiastic mass meeting was held in
the auditorium of the DUPONT Build
ing. This Organization was repre-
scented by a large delegation at the
final hearing before the sub-commit-
tee OF the Senate finance committee
in Washington. OF course. ii is a
matter Of common knowledge that the
tax as enacted, is relatively light, as
compared with the schedules first
proposed.
Under the auspices Of the Mercan-
tile Section. there was held on August
9, highly successful Dollar Day Sale.
Cooperation was extended TO the
local branch of the Ancient Order of
Hlbernians in their effort to win the
A. o. II. National Convention for Will
mington in 1918 While the 1918 fight
was lost, there is good reason to be-
lieve that Wilmington can have the
convention in 1920. The organization
furnished for the Degree Team Of Eden
Lodge, l. o. o. F., one thousand wood
en- rattles.
On September IA, the Chamber OF
Commerce entertained at a reception.
luncheon and business meeting. nine
hundred members Of the Atlantic

ways Association were most profuse.

tee is continuing its work toward a
survey of harbor facilities, and has
been assured OF the cooperation OF

ject.

alton from local shippers.

be moved Monday. September %,

Aberdeen and Dudley" self-styled
cousin Of King Edward and bosom
friend" of August Belmont has TO all
intents risen from his lonely grave
in Michigan to again become, after
ten years. the chief topic OF house
hold discussion in this country.
New York attorneys who have been
canvassng about the upper county in
an effort to find an "heiress" TO $1,000
have resurrected Lord Harry in the
public eye. The woman whom they
are anxious 70 find was Lord Harry's'
first wife When last heard Of. some
ten years back. she was leaving West
Grove, Pa, to become the star actress
in travelling medicine show.
And It was just about that time that
Lord Harry" himself drfted into the
little town OF Calvert, this county, and
after welding a paint brush for sew
enty-two hours on Joseph McVey's
barn bossomed out as an English
nObleman," who within less than
seven hours more had found a warm
place in the heart of Miss Irene Clay

an attractive little fortune of $4,000.

Within twelve days after his ap-
pearance in Calvert. lord Harry, "
made Miss Clayton his wife. with
the title of the duchess OF Aberdeen
and Dudley" A couple Of days later
the pseudo lord. fiat broke, was again
on his way out of Calyert-On foot.
The duchess Of Aberdeen and Dud-
ley became plain Miss Clayton in
three years more through the process
of the divorce court. Lord Harry"
died in Michigan four years ago.
But little was known Of Stanley's
first wife at the time he was eating
up columns OF space on the first
pages Of all the big newspapers OF the
country as a second King Cophetua"

however. in reintrOducing the story
OF Lord Harry"
On the afternoo nof June -, 1907,
a man looked over the fence at the
farm Of Joseph McVey, a short dis
lance from Calvert, and made up
for a rather seedy appearance with
a most engaging smile and free and
easy manner.
Want any help" he inquired.
What can you do?'
Anything in your line" came the
prompt reply, and McVey put the
stranger to painting his barn.
