after the Royal Academy ordered
the picture The Lord of Crea-

The picture had been accepted
to be displayed in the academy's
gallery, but the academy council,
in a letter to Moser, said the deci-
sion to withdraw it had been
reached because it appears GER
tainly to allude to an affair which
is a matter of especially painful
regret to the public" Moser said:
II am mystified by the &C
ton of the academy. They OBJ
viOusly think it refers in some
way to the Duke of Windsor,
but it does nothing of the sort,
and that was furtheSt from my
thoughts. The picture reveals a
young man with crown and a
tankard of beer at his lips being
dragged away by a chain.
"The crown is Symbolical of
man being lord over beasts, the
tankard and drinking shows he
is just as breastIike and the
chain dragging him away SYM
boIizes that even lords of crea-
ton are subject to the influence
of women. When l painted the
picture two years ago, the abdi-

PETERSBURG, Va, April 30.
Muskets cracked and cannon
roared on the Crater battlefield
today. Gray-clad men with fixed
bayonets gave the rebel yell" and
charged the enemy.
1t might have been that great
battle of 70 years ago, when Con-

after a blast of 5000 pounds OF
powder had ripped great crater

| bOulanger was III ne-Clenen- ceau-might be going there, he felt
 Boulanger had just won a loca election in Paris by 244,000 votes to his opponents 160,00. It was a smashing victory, and reflected the temper of France. The long campaign was won.
 Somebody in Boulanger's vic- tory party at the Cafe Duranc said it was almost time to go Almost time for the General tc pick up his hat, mount his horse and chatter around to the Elysee Almost time, by riding a few hundred yards through a de- lirious mob, to become dictator oi France or to turn the nation into a monarchy or an empire again as he chose.
 Upstairs in a small salon, rose colored lamps cast their tender light on a woman's white arms Her blonde hair. disheveled glimmered as she leaned across the table. She was pleading with the man who sat there, begging him to stay, not to leave her. The pathos of her sobs was heighten- ed by the telltale red stain which marked her handkerchief when she withdrew it from her lips, Mime. Marguerite de Bonnemains, mistress of the brave General Boulanger, was tuberculous.
 Time passed. A young report CT, downstairs, looked at his watch and perceived that it was midnight. Outside the crowd was still roaring. But it seemed to him the noise was less bolster ous, less eager, than earlier. The air out there must be cold and nipping, he thought. A January night in Paris = a drizzle in the air-all that was little dam- pening to political ardor.
 The group of Boulangist chief tains chafed. There was no sound from the upper chamber. The streets were quieter. Again the young reporter glanced at his watch. It was one o'clock. It was too late
 Boulanger had missed his coup d'etat, on account of lovely, adoring, and pitiable lady. A few days later, he was an exile, in Brussels. The beautiful Mime. de Bonnemains was at his side.

 Mime. de Bonnemains, daughter of the lesser nobility, loved him. He in turn adored, and was lost in admiration. She was selfish mistress. The affairs of state meant little to her, nor did Bou- hangers career. What was much more important washer lover, in her arms.
 His distraction proved irritat- ing to his supporters. More than once they were obliged to hunt him up at her home at 39 Rue de Berri
 Smart police work got him out of France after the fiaSco of the Place de la Madeleine. A police stool pigeon showed Boulanger warrant for his arrest next morn ing. The warrant was a fake. Boulanger took the train that night, accommodating plain clothes men helping him on his way. The stool pigeon was awarded the Legion of Homer few weeks later.
 
 swEETHEART'S DEATH
 FASTENED OWN TRAGEDY
 Brussels was too close to Paris. At the request of the French goV- ernment, Belgium asked Boulanger and Mime. de Bonnemains to move on. They went to London.
 There they lived in semi-royal state, as a pretender will if he can. The Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, entertained him. He was feted. He received an offer to make lec- ture tour in America. Mime. de- Bonnemains, her illness worsening apace, prevented him.
 They presently returned to Brus- els, for medical attention, and there Mime. de Bonnemains closed her lustrous eyes in death. Two and half months later, Boulanger decided to kill himself. He arranged his time and occupa- tions those last days very carefully. One day he spent burning political papers. Another he passed framing two testaments, one political, one DTlVdIG.

 T shall kill myself tomorrow, un- able longer to support existence without her who was my only joy, the only happiness of my whole life. I desire to be inhumed in the crypt which have built at the cemetery of Ixelles."
 At Il o'clock in the morning he drove in carriage to Ixelles. There friend, worried by BoulangerS recent manner, happened to find him. Boulanger seemed joyous and rejuvenated. He assuaged his friends suspicious by saying, "You can send your carriage away. Iu take you back in mine."
 As the friend went to give the message to his coachman, he heard shot. Boulanger, standing on Marguerites grave, had fired pistol ball through both temples.
 He had decreed that on his grave should be written the phrase. ad- dressed to Marguerite: How could I have lived two months and half without thee?"
 Clemenceau's epitaph was more cynical: "He died" said Clemen- ceau, "as he lived-like a second lieutenant"

face her lovers exposure to pos- sible danger, and his bovine &C., quiescence in her selfishneSs, was all that saved the French Repub- lie from overthrow that night. Such is the opinion of French his- torianS. "
 But Boulanger, the hero of that tragic farce, had missed his chance before.
 AS the gallant leader on a cur- vetting black horse, he was the idol of Paris-not only the cham ber-maids' idol but the aristoc- racys. The old Duchess d'Uzes contributed 3 million gold francs to his cause. The various pre- tenders-legitimist, Orleanist, and Bonapartist-eultivated, admired, used him. For a few years he was a national figure. For a few months, he was the hope of France.
 France did not know then that he was the willing tool of mon- archiSt reaction. Up to that Jan- uary of 1889, France looked upon him as a reformist republican, as the man who would avenge the nation smarting still from its de- feat in the Franco-Prussian war
 Boulanger had been a gallant officer in war. Born of bourgeois parents, he could have had little expectation of eminence. But his career was fortunate, and when he was promoted general, he sud- denly began to have ambitions. The capacity to charm stood him in good stead. It was Clemen- ceau who got him his first cab- inet job, as minister of war. Gle menceau lived to regret it, for Boulanger pursued such a trucu- lent and menacing attitude to- ward Germany that Bismarck mobilized his army in '87. The only way to get him out of pow CT was for the cabinet to resign. It did, and Boulanger went back to soldering.
 ARMY CUSTER CREATED, @ FIRST CHANGE TO RULE
 His departure for his post at Clermont Ferrand, in mid- France, produced such a demon stration as has rarely been seen in Paris. At the Care de Lyon his train was held up almost. three hours by mobs. Enthusiasts lay down on the tracks before the engine to prevent its moving. Finally, little Lepine spirited him away in the cab of trainless en- zine, and Paris quieted down.
 But Boulanger had had a taste of power. He cared so little for military duties that he was absent most of the time. He fixed things so that his name would be writ ten on ballots at election time, al- though, as a soldier, he was le- gally unable to take office. Sev- eral districts gave him huge votes.
 The government played into his hands by cashiering him. Now he was free to be a politician. He clustered, promised drastic re- forms, chose seat as deputy. He was driven down to the Chamber on Deputies in an open carriage through bowling throngs..
 Again, little Lepine was in the crowd. He was powerless. If
