"Nelson was very jealous lover. That
is why he phoned me so often. He made

letters, passionately vowing his love for

return to his arms.
"Mr. Edelsten was very much pleased
with the new home | chose for Charlotte
and myself, and he insisted on paying the
rent In fact, he told me many times that
my little place was more of a home to
him than any he had ever known. He,
showed his appreciation of it by being
with me every spare moment he had.
"He came to see me at least two or
three times a day when he was in town,
and never dared to go anywhere myself
for fear of being out when he called. When

THE other day a queer thing hap
pened In the busy city Of New
York. A Mr. W. Nelson EdeIsten,
Of the Equitable Life Company, In the
course of his bankruptcy litigation handed
over to his creditors some notes to the
value of almost $4,000 signed by Mrs.
Smith-and it turned out that this Mrs.
Smith was Katherine Poillon, one Of the
notorious "Poillon SisterslS
When the happy creditors called on
/ Mrs. Smith" they were stunned to hear
that they could expect not even a penny
from her. To their astonishment Mrs.
Katherine Poillon Smith announced that
the money had been given her by Mr..
Edelsten as engagement presents-he was
deeply in love and they were to have been
married.
To this Mr.. Edelsten replied that 1t was
strictly business transaction. and said
During the years I knew Mrs. Smith
had no knowledge of her being one Of
the Poillon sisters, and was not apprised
of this fact until after the last loan was
made to her. When called upon Mrs.
Smith on the evening of July q last and
demanded to know when she intended to
reSeem her promise and show some evi.
dence OF honor by paying her debt to me,
she called out to her alleged Cousin Flor
enee, who was in the adjoining room, re-
Questing her to come into the room where
Mrs. Smith and i we're. seated.
Turning to me She then said: This
dear girl is not my Cousin Florence, but
is my sister, Charlotte Poillon.' In my
amazement responded: You do not mean
one Of the notorious Poillon sistersr And
she answered: she is one Of the Poiilon
sisters and / am the other
The contemplate statement which
she made that she expected to marry me
is absolutely without basis in fact, as the
words marriage or matrimony' were
never used by either one of US in the pres
enee Of the other"
So Mr.. Edelsten and Katherine disagree
entirely as to that $4,000. Was II ''busi-
ness" or was 1t sentiment?
We have Just given Mr.. Edlesten's ver-
sion. But the lady should be allowed the

before reading the cruel story Of how a

at the busy career of the engaging Poll
Lon Sisters and we find that:
Katherine and Charlotte Poillon came
to New York City FROM Troy about twenty
years ago. In, 1903 Katherine achieved
her first public distinction by bringing a
suit against w. Gould Brokaw for $3.50, 900
for breach Of promise. Two years later
THIS suit was settled out OF court by Mr..
Brokaws payment Of s17,500.
