CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
By A. W. Macy.
A STRENUOUS LOVER.
When William of Normandy
was a youth of nineteen he felt
violently in love with his cous
in Matilda, slaughter cf the
Duke of Flanders. The young
lady, however, did not recipro
cate his affection with equal ar
dor, though she seems to have
erttertanud a kindly feeling for
him. She kept htm waiting for
seven lo'3 years, and would not
give him a final answer. The
suspense was very trying tc
one of William's impetuous tem
perament. and he finally decid
ed t; bring matters to a crisis.
Meeting her in the street one
day, in company with some of
her friends, he seized her and
threw her in the mud,\with dis
astrous results to bcth her dig
nity and he- fine clothes. So
humiliated was she, so the
story gees, that she consented
to become his wife without fur
ther delay.

This is the big important ques
tion to which the House committee

If st:ch was not the. deliberate ]

secret executive order instead of by i
proclamation?

the case is this: The uuvariable

Dennett of the General Land Office, '

Love Find
Another
If anyone bad told Gertrude ' Lee
that she had prolonged her stay a
month at the beach for the sole rea-'l
son of waiting for a proposal from
George Elmore, that young lady would
have denied the allegation Indignant
ly. That George Elmore was hope
lessly In love with Gertrude was a
self-evident fact.
Two months previously, Mr. Elmore
had met the attractive Miss Lee at a
resort In Virginia and later had fol
lowed her to Atlantic City. He was
her constant companion.
Elmore and two friends Victor Har-1
rison and Charlie Travers three
months previous had spent a Sunday
"on the water. They had been class
mates at Yale ten years ago and none
of the trio had marrletj. After Jok
ing on the subject for some time,
Charlie Travers. who was full of ro
mance. gnid:
' Well, boys, I've got a proposttlot
to make. One of us has got to get
married soon or luck is against us.
Let's each draw and the one to whom
the lot falls must stand by the bar-,
gain. Sow, here is the proposition—
he must put in a bottle a slip of paper
must be written that the
finder will learn something to his ad
vantage If he communicates with a
Kiven address. The bottle must be
'■onsigned to the neater and tbe sender
must wait a year before he can con
sider himself free from the obligation.
If the person who finds the bottle Is
.in unmarried woman It will prove that
matrimony i« for one of us.
"Capital,"
"Splendid," camJrTrom Elmore.
The lots were cast with the result
that Elmore found' himself the hero of
the romance. He tave the address of
his New York lawyers and after ranch
n errlment the bottled message was
borne off on the waves.
After this little episode, Gertrude
l ap and her aunt came to the beach
for a few weeks and stayed at the
spme cottage as did Elmore
The old, old story was the result.
V my a time the words were on El-■
more's lips to ask Gertrude to be his
w'fe but always the vision of a bottle
fli airiK on the waves held them back.
II was bound In honor not to speak
of lovf*to a woman for a year. He
»ns afraid to confess to Gertrude
hnv silly he had been for he did not
know how she would look upon the
matter Yet some explanation to the
girl was most assuredly due.
\ letter was pushed unCr"~the door.
It '-vas from Brown & Bmfton, his law
yer-!, inclosing the fatal news. It
came In the shape of a shori note writ
ten In an uneducated hand by Miss
Mario Bonner who expressed her will
ingness to learn anything to her ad
vantage as the flnuer of the bottle
It too, no adept to discern from the
letter that Marie Bonner was a person
of DO culture and belonged to the
great army that constitutes the mass
es. Had she the combined charms of
Venus and of Helen of Troy, Elmore
would not have felt compensated for
the loss ol Gertrude
In thij stßte of mind Elmore dress
ed foj;, dinner. Afterwards he saw
Gertrude and the two sat on the pla«-
za of tlie hotel. •• w.vltV «
"Do you think it is bad luck to glvtf
away what one finds?" asked Ger
trude.
"I most decidedly dffi. It Is an old
superstition that I have great respect
for," replied Elmore.
"I never have found anything of
value in all my life, In fact I never
really found anything but once and I
have often wondered how it turned
out."
"What do you mean? Was It a
curio?"
"Not in the sense you mean. I was
down in Virginia at the beach where
I met you. I knew a very few people
at first, so every morning early 1
would take my maid with me for a
walk along the shore. One morning
I saw a bottle that was washed up by
the tide and I stooped and picked It
up. The bottle was tightly sealed and
inside I could see writing on a slip
of paper Full v of curiosity we loat
no time In getting the message out of
the bottle to find only a reques* that
the finder communicate with some law
firm on Broadway and presumably
get a reward.'*
Elmore could scarcely restrain his
anxiety. What of Marie Bonner? Wa«
she a fake or could this have been
a similar adventure to his own?
"How did It turn out?' '
"That Is Just what 1 would like to
know."
"Didn't you write to, the Broadway
lawyer?" . '
"O, no; instead I turned the slip
over to Mafle and told her to try her
luck when she returned to New JVork.
Marie left last week."
"Marie!" cried Elmore, excitedly.
"What was her last name?"
"Marie Bonner, my maid. Why—
what is the matter?" asked Gertrude
as she noticed tho sudden change in
Elmore. *
It did not take him many moments
to appreciate the fact that the actual
finder of the bottled message was the
be&utifm girl at his side. Nor did he
lose time In making the most ot hla
discovery.
When Gertrude Lee left for New
York next morning It was as the affi
anced wife of George Elmore.
Marie Bonner was duly recompensed
through the lawyers with a check for
a neat little sum. Neither she nor
her mistress ever suspected the part
that Elmore played In the romance of
the bottle.
