at the same time, it is difficult to un-

accounted for the settlement of so
large a sum of money upon his wife
by an admirer as a balm for her dis
appointment in not becoming a

Col. Atherton is that he was blindly

while her husband ordered his lawyers
there TO start divorce proceedings
against her. The Duke remained a
very short time at the front, followed
her home, and announced his inten-
ton of marrying her as soon as she
had recovered her liberty.

was the talk of the hour and discussed
in the press without any actual men

as to leave no doubt whatsoever as to
the identity of the parties concerned
AL OF sudden some one interfered,
The divorce proceedings of Colonel
Atherton against his wife were aban-
duned before they came into court and
the marriage of the Duke Of West
minister to Miss Shelah West took
place in the presence of the late King
and OF other members of the royal
family, it being freely asserted by
those who attended the ceremony that
no more unwilling bridegroom had
ever gone to the matrimonial altar.
Edward VII. entertained a holy hor-
ror for scandal especially among the
upper classes, still more among the
great nobles,, on the ground that 1t set
bad example to the masses ana
tended to lower the moral tone of the
nation. 1t was he who had interviewed.

And yet MIRA Atherton's name did
not figure in the divorce proceedings
brought against the Duke. Nor did
she kill herself on his account. For
the evidence furnished at the coroner's
inquest by the Duke of Richmond's
son and heir, the Earl of March, and
by other friends, acquaintance, ply
sicians lawyers and also by her con-
fdential maid, shows that IL she placed

was because she had been deserted
by her second husband. Arthur Eliot
whom she had married only a few
weeks previously, and with whom she
had become completely infatuated.
There seems to be an impression
that Arthur Eliot was very much
younger than herself. This was not
the case. They were within a few
months of the same age, that Is to say
in the neighboThood of fifty; and
whereas Mrs. Atherton, as Mabel Paul
had married Col. Atherton, of the 18th
Lancers, in 1892, Arthur Eliot had
marFied in 1895, a Miss Florence Parks
