The lady, was a widow, and rich
very rich as the French novelist says,
richissime. The pentlemarr :was . a
widotver, past sixty; extremely, even
ridiculously, poor, and the .last of a
most noble and .most historical house.
History is full of the achievements of
hi& people.'. ; JTroissart mentions- their
exploits in every other page; they were
always taking1 this Bide or the other,
for the king and against the king; when
they took a side they meant it; out
they marched, they and theirs, in full
armor.
Whichever side they took, it always
ended in their being captured and de
capitated for high treason, or else
killed in battle. From father to son,
from generation to generation, for
long centuries none of them ever went
out -of the world . from an ihglorious
Ifeather bed; it "was always from the
grassy field of honor or from a scaffold.
:A gray beard was unknown in that
house; nor had any of them ever ex
perienced . the tender emotions of a
grandfather.
The lady, besides being a widow and
richissime, was of ignoble origin, and
her late husband had made his money
in trade. Reflection tipon this point
made her unhappy. She " was so rich
that she thought . she ought also to be
noble, just to correspond. It. is a com
mon confusion of thought. She de
sired, above all things, to connect her
riches with an ancient name, and she
heard of . this old nobleman, and she
made a proposition to him. '"Marry
me," she said. "Give me that right to
use your name. In return I will give
you as handsome an annuity as you
can possibly desire. . You shall have
the means of living as you please, and
of obtaining all that you can desire. I
will not ask you to live in my house.
You shall live where you please. I
wiU only ask that, for appearance
sake, you will take your place at my
dinners, and that you will show up. as
the lord of the house, at my recep
tions." 'Twas arranged in this sense. The
lady took and furnished for herself a
great hotel, writes Walter Besant in
London Queen. She had the rooms
decorated in honor of this and that il
lustrious ancestor. The arms of the
house were everywhere; the portraits,
busts and statues of the house were
in aU the rooms; the pictures repre
sented ..scenes and episodes in the his
tory of the house. The servants wore
the ancient livery, the well-known liv
ery of the house.
- The hotel became the museum of the
house, and at dinners and on reception
nights the duke himself was always
present, grave, dignified and stately,
with the look of one who had stepped
out of -a picture frame five hundred
years old, and had put on the clothes
of the nineteeth century, but not its
manners. When madame, the duchess,
was not at home, he lived in his own
chambers, at the clnb, after his own
fashion. An exceUent bargain," was it
not, and one that seems perfectly f au
to both parties.
In at the J-'inigh.
Crossing" a field one day President
Lincoln, it is said, was pursued by an
angry bulL He made for the' fence,
says Life's Calendar, but soon discov
ered that the bull was overtaking him.
He then began to run around a hay
stack in the field and the bull pur
sued him, but in making the short cir
cles around the stack Lincoln was the
faster, and, instead of the bull catch
ing him, he caught the bull and
grabbed him by the tail. It was a firm
grip and a controlling one. He began
to kick the buil, and the bull bellowed
'with, agony and dashed -across the
field, Lincoln hanging to his tail and
kicking him at every jump, and as they
flew along ' Lincoln yelled at the- bull:
"Darn you, who began this fight?'. .
