Copyright, 1912, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York World). NO. 1--THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. SSeOR jumping out of a high window a young Englishman received @ reward of $25,000. It was the foundation of a wealth that was eked out by @ifts from beautiful women, and that grew at last to be the largest private fortune in England. The youth who thus risked his neck to win money was “Handsome Jack” Churchill, son of a down-at-heel knight. His sister had won the fickle | affections of King James I, and she used her court position to advance the interests of her elder brother, John. Thanks to her he received a good start, both in court and in the army. Though his career had been made possible by such doubtful means, he proceeded to improve it by methods jfar more doubtful. Macauley says of him: | “His stature was commanding, bis face handsome, his address singu- larly winning, yet of euch dignity that the most impertinent fops never | ventured to take any liberty with him. His education had been so much | neglected that he could not spell the commonest words.” | Bo fascinating @ courtier could not fall to turn ‘the heads of women, and | Jack Churehtit speedily found himself with a score of love affaira on his hands. All around him were young gallants who were spending every penny they cout raise to buy costly presents that should win them the «miles of girls whom they ‘admired, Churchill prudently adopted just the opposite plan of action. The | woman who expected to be seen in his company or to be singled out by Mm for any sort of attention was obliged to pay well, in hard cash, for the privilere, The Duchess of Cleveland (on whom King Charles 1. showered gold and jewels, which were wrung from the poor fn heavy taxes) fell wildly In love with Churchtll. She concesled—or thought she concealed—her attachment from the court, for she knew that @ whisper of her | {nfatuation for Churchill would forever rob her of the King’s favor. Enemles of | hers and of Churchill's knew the same thing, and one of them resolved to profit by it. The Duke of Buckingham had had a vioient quarrel with her and tonged to see her cast down from ‘her lofty estate. He bribed one of her servants to let him know the next time Churchill and she should be talking together. | One day, as the Duchess of Cleveland and Churchill were standing together | in a window embrasure of one of the paiace's upper corridors, Buckingham ranged for the King to surprise them there. But, as the King appeared on tie scene, Churchill saved the situation by throwing himself out of the window be- fore His Majeaty could catch sight of the couple. He escaped with a few bruises. But Buckingham's plot was spoiled, The Duchess was so grateful for this act of pluck and quick wit that she gave Churchill $2,000. He accepted the money and at once Invested it at 10 per cent. The Duchess did not stop to think that Chureh- iM might have been quite as anxious to save his own credit with the King as to save hers, and that the leap from the window was not wally unselfish heratem, Next Churchill tried to brighten his prospects by matrimony. Plenty of rich women would gladly have married him. But he was looking for future fame and wealth even more than for cash. So he made a match that the court thought absurd, but which was really the shrewdest move of his whole tricky | lite, His parents withed him to marry Catherine Sedley, a wealthy kinswoman, He refused and married a tiger-tempered, penniless, uneducated girl, Sarah Jennings by name, Sarah was one of the attendants of Princess Anne, younger daughter of the Duke of York. There then seemed absolutely no pros- pect that Anne would ever be Queen of England or would be able to exert the Glightest influence in politics. But Churchill was far-seeing. Sarah gained bound- less powers over stupid, gentle Anne, who was also, Ike most women, fas- cinated, In a measure, by Churchill's beauty and charm of manner. And when Anne came to the throne Sarah and Churchill were the uncrowned but none the less real rulers of England, Churchill was ennobled, and later was made Duke of Marlborough. Wealth and honors were ceaselessly showered upon him, Much he owed to his skill as a soldier and statesman, but more, perhaps, he indirectly owed to his marriage and , to his wondrous powers as a heart-breaker, Marlborough paid well in countless stormy scenes for his wife's influence. At one time, after a quarrel, Sareh avenged herself by cutting off all her hair, knowing that those tresses were her husband's chief pride, Marlborough secretly saved all the shorn locks, and after his death they were found in his treasure cabinet. In another marital dispute she ts said to have drawn a dagger and threatened to kill herself and him. Yet when old age robbed Marlborough of his beauty and magnetism, so that women no longer were attracted to him, and when a turn in luck's tide bereft him of his high official position, Sarah meekly followed him into exile and dingrace, ‘Draved and vicious selfishness of those im au. thority, ‘Ther are like the Pea Ridge story, HE late Henry Guy Carleton, the playweiaht,| "It te falsely said, you know, thet in the Vived at Atlantic City, and, when the mos. | battle of Pea Ridge, as soon as tho heavy firing quitoss were bad, he would tell his Madras) began, a recruit Hmped back to the tear and | then took to his heels, in| A comme stopped = “What's the matter, mate!" to Madras, was warned by a friend: ‘Why,’ aad the recruit, ‘I dnat coukin't | "Beware of the Madras mosquitors, They have|etand it—out there in the open all by my. tong suckers hanging from their heade, and ther | ptt ‘will drew the very Iife blood ont of you." “The Breton woman arrived in Madras duty, and, as dhe disembarked, she caw three elephants drawn up near the pier. “ete? dhe cried, ‘Are them mosquitoes!"
