Refusal an Unpleasant Surprise

Washington, Nov. 27.-Another controversy between the American government and the entete allies may result from the refusal of the British government to grant safe conduct to Count von Tarnow, the newly ap- pointed Austro-'Hungarian ambassa- dor to the United States.
 In the absence of official advices; on the subject, officials of the state de- partment would not discuss it form ally or forecast the course the gov ernment is likely to pursue It was made evident that the unfavOrable ac- ton of the British foreign office in the matter came as an unpleasant surprise. It had not been doubted Eere that Great Britain would be the last power to deny the privileged character of diplomatic officer on such a voyage.

, Henri, and soon concluded that her sto-
ries about her husband were false.
Then he accused her of his murder in
so many words.
The madam, strong as she was, fell
in swoon. and when she recovered
consciousness confessed everything.
After Snding that her husband was
dead, sac carried his body to the cell
lar, and there chopped him into con-
venient chunks with an Ak. The
pieces she sewed up in sacks, and ev-
cry night, until the whole body was dis
posed of, she carried bundle to the
river and threw it in.
Even when this was known most of
the people sympathized with the Won
an, knowing how much she had en-
dured. The terrible story was carried
all over Europe. and for weeks to-
gether the newspapers were full of it,
and many years afterwards tourists
went out Of their way to visit the cor
ner of Brittany where Madame Henri
induced her husband to sign the
pledge.
The woman was tried and convicted
in due season, and was sentenced to
twenty years at hard labor.

M. HENRI QUITS DRINKING.

Eighty years ago Madame Henri had
no idea that her fame would extend
from the village of Brittany in which
she lived to all corners of France, or
that her name would ever be Suoken
in whispers by nations story tellers.
She fully expected to lead quiet and
useful life, and in the end be buried
with her fOrbearS in the Churchyard.
She was a quiet. practical woman, a
fine housekceper aQd an excellent man
ager, and everybody respected her.
When she was married most of the
girls of the village envied her and per-
haps a few hated her: for divers dam
sells had made strenuous efforts to
capture the young man who became
her husband. NJ. Henri was extremely
handsome, and had a hundred charms
and graces. He was the best singer in
tho countryside, he was full Of witty
stories, and the way he could dance
was caution. Everybody admired the
young man. Well, it is true that the
old cure shook his head now and then,
when Henri was mentioned. The young
man was too tlghty, said that reverend
man. But the cure was hopeful when
he heard the name of Henri's bride.
This girl came of a thrifty family,
and she abhorred waste, without being
avaricOus. She was distinguished for
her beautiful complexion. which re-.
minded people of cream and roses and
her face was framed by masses of

brated in her own neighbOrhood for
her physical strength. Without being
bulky or awkward, she had the power
f two ordinary men in her muscles.
The strongest man in the village was
as an infant in her hands when, to'lend
interest to the evening sports, she con-
scented to demonstrate her strength.
SO Henri married this lovely and at.
tractiVe girl, and they went to house
keeping, and for while the husband
was a success. He worked diligently,
and spent his evenings at home, and
his wife managed so successfully that
money was being saved. But all the
time the young man hungered and
thirsted for the bright lights in the
tavern windows. And before long he
began making frequent trips to the
grog bazaar, and when he returned
home his breath spoke volumes. It
went from worse to worse, as it usu-
| III
ally does in such cases, and in a few
months Madame Henri had to spend
her evenings alone. The husband was
holding high wassail at the Horn of
Plenty inn.
1t was breaking her heart, and she
pleaded ana argued with him, and even
threatened, and all to no avail. Henri
came Keeling home nearly every night,
spectacle for the gods.

her a comfortable legacy. She had

the legacy was hers, Madame Henri
MADE one last effort to arouse a sane
ambition in her husband. She implored
MN TO quit his foolishness and help
her carry out the original plans. He
seemed to be reused by her entreaties,
and promised her to refrain from the

A woman entered a car rather out

appearance, for instead OF a hat she
was balancing huge basket on her
head with as much grace and ease as
If it had been her Sunday bonnet. She
could just manage to get through the
doorway, but she sat down with the
basket gracefully poised on her head.

A quarter of Il mile away from the

upon the bank of this stream there
