his knowledge of chemistry enabled him

With the money he earned from this he

In 1918 young Glendenning, as re-

land For four years his problems
seemed to be settled and his success as
sured. His father had died, but his
mother had been left comfortably we'll

But before the letter-carrier's son could
take advantage of Ibis scholarship war was
declared between United States and Ger
many. He was not yet of age, yet he
offered himself to the War Department.
The War Department assigned him to
chemical service at the Du Pont powder
plant at Carney's Point, N. J.
Young Glendenning went down to the
big powder plant. He looked even young
er than his scant twenty years, but his
intelligence, earnestness and diligence
soon strengthened the confidence his boy
ish appearance had somewhat shaken.

"Don't you hear mep exclaimed Miss

Glendenning looked up as the superin-
tendent touched his shoulder. He turned,
and saw Alicia. She smiled and beck
oned to him. Then for long time they
chartered just as though there was no gulf
of power and millions between them and
the superintendent fidgeted.
81 like you," said Miss Du Pont, frank
ly, as they parted. 81 like you very much.
Come down to my house next Saturday
and stay the weekend"
The boy tried to stammer some excuse.
1t was all right for this little girl to ask
him to come to see her-but how about
the proud Mr.. Du Pont, her papa? What
would he say about it, and what would her
mamma say about it?
'11l be expecting you," said Miss Ali
cia, and smiled warm good-by to him.
Cautious inquiries during the next few
days reassured young Glendenning. He
was told that the invitation was, in its
way, royal command, and that neither
Papa Du Pont nor Mamma Du Pont ever
interfered with Alicia's choice of guests,
so long as they were decent people.
So that Saturday Glendenning, with his
worn suitcase, presented himself at the
big grilled gates of Nemours, was cere-
and was greeted by the princess herself
awaiting him on the big porch! A solemn
butler attended ceremoniously, while
footman took the worn suitcase and an
other one his hat
Papa Du Pont was away, for which he
was more than vaguely glad, but Mamma
Du Pont was lovely to him. So was

that if he didn't, it didn't matter.

self. And all that time while Alicia was
growing out Of childhood into Young
womanhood her interest in young Glen
dennlng Kept also growing into deeper
and deeper affection.
1t had been love at first sight for her
when she had commanded-"Bring that
boy to me-" That love never cooled.
1t was in October of 1920 that Glen
denning sailed for Europe on the Aqui-
tania to begin his studies at Oxford.

indefinite stay and had taken passage on

were lavished upon it none can say, but
they were many indeed 1t is like a
picture page from that same old fairy
tale of the sleeping princess mentioned
before. Only, instead of being guarded
by witches or ogres. it is patrolled by
corps of trained soldiers who form, in
effect the little standing army Of the es-
tate. its one hundred and fifty acres are
closed in besides by twelve-foot stone
walls thick as ancient Notifications, and
their tops are covered with sharp che
veaux-de-frise and tons Of broken glass.
There is but one entrance-an immense
metal gate whose portals are grills of
'armor plate
In Nemours Alicia was brought up in
the old baronial fashion. She never went
to school All her education. and it is a
remarkable one, came from tutors. AT
one time twenty professors, including
men Of international reputation, were in
stalled in Nemours for months, giving an
hour or two a week to Tie instruction of
the powder princess. and spending the
rest of their time as they pleased at the
expense of Papa Du Pont.
But these grave and learned professors
were not the only stars of wisdom brought
to Nemours for her. When very small
she had shown musical tendencies. There
fore the greatest piano teachers were paid
to give up their other pupils and were
installed with nothing to do but to teach
her. When her voice began to develop
masters of singing were brought from
Europe, and were paid royalty to give all
their time to the development of her
voice.
This was the path that little Miss Alicia
was travelling up to the romantic meet
ing with Glendenning-a path which
would make any real princess of any time
cast the eyes of envy upon its traveller.
Very different was Glendenning's life.
For twenty-nine years before he died his
father had trudged through snow and hot
Summer sun about the little town of Nor
walk, in Connecticut, delivering the mail.
The farmers and townsfolk knew him
familiarly as "Glen." He managed to
support his family comfortably and buy
the plain little house they lived in. Har-
old would often join him and the two
would have long talks.
What do you want to be when you
grow up?" the father would ask.
Invariably the boy would answer: 81
am going to be great chemist"
The older Glendenning would worry
about this. It meant a college and tech
nical education, both of which were be-
yond his means. Frankly he told the boy
: so.

there was no child, however poor and
threadbare, that was not treated with the
utmost courtesy. Any slight by a servant
was punished by instant dismissal.

her library, because she said his char

stupid and ordinary.
owe met lot of interesting people
among papa's workers." she said, "and
they don't talk and act like Mr.. Dickens
says they do"
So Mr.. Dickens got the gate at Nemours,
just like the rich little girls who turned up
their noses at her poor little friends.
All this helps one to understand what is
feet movie scenario meeting.
Everyone knows that time-worn but al
ways popular theme in the movies of the
poor and humble but noble-minded young
worker and the beautiful, pampered
daughter and heiress of his proud and
powerful employer. Always the heiress
comes upon the young workman while he
is busily engaged in his toll. Sometimes
he saves her from some unexpected dan
ger or from the unwelcome attentions of
some villain.
Sometimes she simply recognizes that
his overalls and dirty face are but thin
disguises over that noble soul of his. She
sees beneath the mask of the laborer her
true hero.
Invariably she invites him to her luxu-
rious home. Embarrassed he may be, but
firm in his own conviction of his worth,
he goes to visit her And then the film
unrolls to the usual happy ending.
This was exactly what happened with
the Du Pont powder princess and the poor
letter-carrier's son!
One day young Glendenning was seated
on his stool in the laboratory, absorbed in
working out some chemical formulae. He
did not hear the door open behind him,
and he did not see very dainty, lovely
little lady in short dresses-not the short
dresses of the "fapper," but the short
dresses of childhood-enter with the su-
perintendent. Intently he kept on at his
work.
But the little lady halted the moment
her eyes fell upon him. She gazed at him
earnestly.
"This is the lab" began the super
intendent. She stopped him with a ges-
"Who's that boy over there?" she asked.
"Er-er-why, that is er-er-his
name is Glendenning," answered the
superintendent.
Little Miss Alicia looked at the boy
again, who had gone on unhearing. She
nodded in approval.
Bring that boy over to me-" she COM
manded. 81 want to know himP
The superintendent hesitated. He was
new, to the place, and he did not know the
powder princess democracy.

Harold Glendenning, there came the
last chapter of a series of melodramatic
events in the family history of one Of
the half dozen greatest millionaires Of
America.
Miss Alicia Du Pont-or Mrs. Glenden-
ming as she is now-is the heiress to
the great powder king of Delaware. AL
fred |. Du Pont-worth $100, 900, 900 and
up; no one, not even himself. really
knows how much.
The happy young bridegroom is the
son of letter-carrier of little Connecti-
cut town.
Love in overalls has opened the strong
steel erilled gate of "Nemours," the Du
'Pont country estate outside of Whining
ton where the powder princess lived, in
stead of love bearing heavy money bags,
or love tagged with ancient titles or be-
dizened with the insignia of royalty
It was love in overalls that laughed at
the twelve-foot stone walls of "Nemours"
, and all its guards and awakened the heart
of the girl who lived there in palace and
gardens as exquisite and beautiful as ever
were those of the sleeping princess in the
fairy book story. ,,
q" want to know that boy" the little
powder princess exclaimed the very first
time she saw Glendenning. Then she was
only fifteen and he not yet twenty.
Now she has made up her mind to
know him lust about as closely as one
person can another all their two lives.
: There are in this romance of the pow
der princess of the countless millions and
the poor and worthy and humble workers
child, all the necessary elements for an
excellent movie drama. But tied up with
the main characters of the interesting
love affair are many other strange fac
tors which build up their pretty story
into scenes of tragedy, social feuds car
ried ruthlessly into fields of big business,
manipulation of political power to satisfy
private grudges and disinheritance.
The real name of the Du Points is Du
Pont de Nemours. They come of proud
old French family whose lords for cen.
turies held the right of the "high, low and
middle justice"
These ancient Du Points were true
feudal lords. When their descendants
came to America they carried with them
the traditions of the family. They built
up the greatest powder business in the
world, and the Du Pont clan waxed fat
and increased nightly. 1t dictated-and
still dictates-who shall or shall not be
elected to practically any political office
in Delaware. It's head is Alfred l., the

And there he sat in the laboratory day
after day, and sometimes night after
night, among his crucibles and test tubes,
in shirt sleeves and overalls to protect
his clothes, for the Glendenning budget
was not strong enough to stand the strain
of getting new suit every month or so.
Now if this were a movie story a sub
head would read:
"And in the meantime"
Well. in the meantime, little Miss
Alicia, besides all the attention that was
being given to her education and accom-
plshments by those highly expensive pro-
fessors, had been having her character
nodded in a most peculiar fashion by her
anxious mother. Mrs. Du Pont fully real
lied the dangers and responsibilities of
great wealth like that which surrounded
and that some day would belong to her
daughter.
Most of the dangers that the children
of rich folk ran into, she reflected, could
be averted if the parents weren't foolish
enough to hand them too much money.
Mrs Du Pont decided to play down the
idea of money in little Alicia's mind.
So, when little Alicia was about five,
standing rule was put in the Du Pont
household forbidding any one from telling
her the price of anything, or of even talk
ing of price in connection with any arti-
Gle. Everything Alicia wanted, of course,
Alicia got, but the matter of its monetary
value was never allowed to enter her
head.
81 don't want my daughter to get into
the way of thinking that money has really
anything to do with values" Mrs. Du
Pont would say.
So the powder princess was taught
by her mother that the beauty or the de-
STABILITY of anything has nothing what
ever to do with its price.
Her mother taught her other things.
In one part of Nemours was Alicia's
own "doll house"-but such doll house !!
1t was in reality a little royal palace.
Here the powder princess ruled supreme.
Its "dolls' dining room" could hold COM
fortably thirty little human friends of
Alicia. Here the wise mother taught the
little girl how to cook and how to man
age a household.
The money philosophy began to have
interesting, and to the highly trained
funkies and other servants of Nemours,
often disconcerting consequences. Miss
Alicia's was a logical mind With the
clear reasoning of childhood she argued
that if money were simply an accidental
appendage, that had nothing whatever to
do with the true value of things she de-
sired, therefore the lack of it had nothing
whatever to do with the true value Of
people she liked. And so when she gave
her functions at the "dolls' house" she
invited just whom she chose.
There were children who were deliv-
cred in Rolls-Royces at the great gate,
and others who skidded up on shooters
and on single roller skates. Some wore
rags and some wore tags and some wore
silken gowns.
But If any richer child turned up its
nose at poor one she promptly 'got the
gate" The minute it entered Nemours
