J MAN clad in rathor gaudy riding clothes was galloping at ful speed toward the Dover seaport one day in the latter half of the seventeenth century. Occasionally he glanced back over his shoulder as if in fear of pursuit, then forward again to measure pear around a bend in the road behind him. They were riding furiously. and each had a brace of pistols at his belt. The fugitive at eight of thes halted his sweating, worn-out horse, and calmly waited for the pursuers, of snuff, As they rode up to him his handsome face showed surprised wel- come. And he doffea his plumed hat with the exaggerated flourish that the century's quaint customs demanded. “Good day, M. le Comte de Gramont,” ead one of the riders, “you seem to have quitted London in some haste.” “Yes,” drawied the fugitive. ‘Iam eailing to-day for France.” “Have you not forgotten eomething?" quertea the other. A Fugitive The fugitive looked genuinely perplexed. His brow was wrinkled as though he were trying to recall some @adt that eluded his memory, Suddenly he cried out in amused recollection: “Quite true! I DID forget something! uae ride back and attend to that at onc The forgetful bridegroom was Philibert, Count de Gramont, one of the few historic heartbreakers who has left a written recomd of his conquest. ‘The | record by the way (“Memoirs of the Count de Gramont") was compiled oy his | brother-in-law, one of the two men who overtook him on that futile gailop to Dover. De Geamont was born of an ancient and lofty French family. His parents intended him for the Church, But long before he was old enough to follow out | thetr plans his character developed along lines that led them to change the | course of his studies and make a soldier of him. He fought gallantly in France's ware, earning a reputation for dashing fear- | leeeness. Then he went to tho Court of Louis XIV., where fis reputation ag & soldier was quickly eclipsed by his far greater fame as a winner of hearts. | It wae an age when goodness was at a discount. Women had no euch place in the world as they occupy to-day. Dueling and gambling were deemed highly | reputadle pursuits. Yet even in such an atmosphere de Gramont at once be- j came notorious. Few women could resist his fascinations. Ife was not rich and he lived far in excess of his small income. Yet his doubtful habit of wn= broken success at cards kept his pockets pleasantly ined with money. | A blographer describes him as having “laughing eyes, a well-formed nose, @ pretty mouth, a little dimple in the chin, which gave an agreeable effect to op whole face; a certain finesse in his countenance and a fairly good stature for a stoop. “Mile, Lamothe Houdancourt was a momentary Queen of Beauty at Paris, ‘The King himself fell in love with her, So did de Gramont. And she found the Count more attractive than the King. This was little short of treason. And de \ Gramont was ordered to leave France at once under the pain of death. So in \ 1662 he went to England, thus picking out the next most dissolute court in all Europe for his scene of exile, For Charles If, was then King of England end his circle of intimates were scarcely more reputable than Louls XIV. and his court. De Gramont was received with open arms at London. Women went wild over him. His phenomenal luck at cards continued unabated, and kept him in plenty of ready money, At last he fell in love with Eliza Hamilton, to whom ihe became engaged. ‘Tiring of the affair before the wedding day arrived he tried to escape to France, But the bride's two brothers, who had a fatrly clear idea of his character, had heen watching him, They @ave chase and brought hith back. He was duly married and took his English wife to France, where she became lady-in-walte ing to the French Queen. De Gramont lived to be eighty-six and continued Mis heartbreaking career into extreme old age, Ninon de ('Enclos, most captivating woman of her cen- tury, said of him in those later days: “He ts the only old man who can affect youth's fo self ridiculous Bridegroom.
