Notoriety
STARTED A REVOLUTION
Ono day in 188." there. Jumped lightly
oft n train In Uroail Street Station a Blip
of a fjlrl, a pretty girl with happy blue
eyes that wero forever dancing about
from Right to sight and flattering even
porters with gracious mnllcs.
It wna Kmma Linden, then In her 10th
year and only vaguely awaro of her abil
ity to send Imperial crowns tumbling nnd
Imperial thrones tottering, llko Gaby Des
lys. Sho ltnow she could do it, but did not
know there was to bo a chance. Pedro
11. Umporgr of Ilrazll, had not yet Been
her. Sho was the "daby" of her day, a
"Ynnltco 'Onby."
She hat! run away from tho bleak llt
tlo farm of her parents, four miles out
sldo of Taunton, Mass., two--cars before,
when she was-to. Yesterday, nlonc, -on
that .same lUUe"b1eU nrtlIom!ly",New
Englnnd farm, sho, died. NewB of her
death reached friends In this city today.
She was the hello of that trlto Now
England community. Sho could havo
married any one of the heirs to the pretty
fartna nround Taunton. But she trilled
with them nnd laughed them to scorn.
Those roving blue eyes seemed to look
out upon vistas of adventuro that the
swains of Taunton and vicinity dreamed
not of.
RAN AWAY AT 16.
JIary Anderson, the actress, was her
Ideal. Mary had become an. actress nt
tho age of 1C, and so Emma becaino an
actress at the age of 16. She ran away
from tho old farm, much to the disgust
and sorrow of her parents, and went to
Trovldence. She got a stage engagement
at onco on tho strength of hor good looks,
trnveled, and came to this city just In
tlmo to meet jr. Ualbrlgga. n variety per
former, who amused her so much that
sho married him.
In the course of tho travels of Halbrlgga
and his charmlngj young wife, thoy found
themsolves In Itlo do Janeiro. That gay
and dashing capital, which, with half a
dozen other Latin cities, shares the tltlo
of "Llttlo I'arls," fascinated Emma.
Sho loved the soft Portuguese of tho
glided youth and, being a real American
girl, sho loved the Idea of there being
a King In town moro than a King, an
Emperor, no less than his Imperial Ma
jesty Pedro II, Emperor of all tho Brazils
and of all the fierce lights that beat
upon a throne,
A shrewd eye would havo seen revo
lution brewing In the cares; a nose for
economics would have amelled revolution
In tho balmy air of tho plazas and their
military bands and betgnrs. If Emma
saw and smelled It, sho didn't care.
