First Photograph of
MISS JANE MORGAN, tbe old
eat granddaughter of the
late J, Plerpont Morgan, pre
sents a mystery that society has
puzzled over for many years nearly
all her life, In fact Although tho
eldest daughter of the present head
of the house of Morgan, who was
the late financier's only son and
principal heir, and the richest debu
tante In tbe country, Miss Jane Is tho
least known nnd tho most mys
terious. With the enormous fortune
and powerful Influences of the Mor
gan family It would seem that this
young girl might be one of the hap
piest and gayest of human beings,
that her life must havo been ono of
complete freedom and happiness.
The opposite has been true, how
ever. There is no princess In Europe
hedged about with the conventions
that surround royal persons who
haB not had more freedom and inde
pendence than this American dollar
princess. While society has realized
that the Morgans were tremendous
ly careful of this young girl. It was
nover sure Just how far the grand
father was instrumental in the
espionage that puzzled them. Tho
girls who came out last year, when
Jane made her debut, speedily saw
that Bhe was not allowed the privi
leges that they were. She could not
belong to tho Junior League, nor to
the popular dancing classes; she
never went to a big football game,
to college sports of any kind
where there would be great crowds.
When she walked on Fifth avenue
she was Invariably heavily veiled,
and always walking a few paces back
of her was a husky man sorvant or
a special detective or two. This
curious state of affairs naturally
caused gossip among her friends,
and the general public, which al
ways hears snatches of social gossip
audibly, wondered whether the young
heiress to much of tho Morgan
wealth was deformed or in 111 health.
Since the- death of her grand
father there has been Borne relaxing
of the mysterious vigilance which
has marked her life since she wsb
five years old. For the first time in
her life she has been allowed to
visit away from home witihout a
member of her family at her elbow.
She has been visiting the Lewis
Cass Ledyards at Newport. Mr. Led
yard is the Morgan family lawyer,
and there has always been a dose
friendship between the two families.
But until this season Miss Morgan
has not been permitted to stay with
them. She did not make the trip to
Newport by train, but on board tho
splendid steam yacht Oorsair, which
belonged to her grandfather and
which he left to his only Bon.
This visit has roused almost as
much gossip as the former vigilance
land the peculiar care of the past
(Was It all because the grandfather

he was ono of the most powerful
men In tho world, he naturally had
many enemies, and among the poorer
people all over the world ho was
feared and hated for his wealth.
Was he afraid that some ono of
these people might harm tho. being
he cared most for In the world? It
would seem so. Else why tho great
mystery?
As a child, after her parents re
turned to this country to live, sho
was not allowed to play In the parks
with other children of the same so
cial standing and wealth. Just be
fore the Morgan b left London their,
house was ontored by burglars.
Nothing of great valuo was taken,
but there were evidences that tho
burglars had invaded the nursery
where the little heiress was sleep
ing. They wore frightonod away by
servants, and the supposition has al
ways been that they wanted to kid
nap the child. All the mysterious
esplonago of this very mysterious
young girl dates from that timo.
Therefore, when she was brought
to New York her grandfather had
mado for her a special playground
worth several millions, where she
played under tho watchful eyes of
half a dozen men servants and
nurses. To do this he tore down the
splendid mansion which he bad
given to the Herbert Satterlees for
a wedding gift, and on the site was
created the most costly garden in
the world for Its size.
Her little cousins, the Sattorlee
children, have never been restricted
in the least: they play with other
children as they please and are even
allowed to stick their tongues out
at strangers, as can be seen In tho
picture shown here.
What a contrast to Miss Jane, who
until her visit to Newport was not
permitted to walk unrolled on tho
streets, and the camera man fortu
nate enough to snap her would never
have been allowed to publish tho
picture. Hut, after all, Just why all
this mystery? Can it be explained
in a perfectly natural manner, or has
It been because of a plain everyday
fear of kidnapping, or has there been
some deep mystery connected with
it? There are friends pf the family
who believe that the stars and heav
enly bodies havo decreed a very
strange destiny for Miss Morgan,
and that her parents, holding similar
views, are guarding her with spe
cial care on that account In order
to find out what the astrological
view of MIbb Morgan's future might
be, a well-known New York astrol
oger, Professor Leo Bornart, was
asked to cast her horoscope. After
ascertaining that sho was born on
June 13. 1893, the astrologer imme
diately remarked that her destiny
was an extraordinary one.
"A most peculiar combination of
the celestial arbiters is presented in
this nativity; a veritable Chinese
puzzle, as It were," bo wrote. "The

arguo a probability from thoso pre

would recolvo tho roward ho do

thoso details, and It is useless to
question an astrologer too closely.

It Is, noteworthy, that sho Spends
a groat deal of tlnio uppn the ocean.
Sho crosses tho Atlantic usually
twice a year. Since tho- death of her
grandfather hor father has becomo
tho owner .of tho Corsair, one of tho
largest private yachts In tho world.
Sho haB always spent a great deal
of timo on this. When aboard tho
Corsair oho is always guarded with
remarkable care and never allowed
on deck without a special com
panion. Old Mr. Morgan lovod to havo
little Jane with him on tho yacht,
although ho did not care for largo
family parties. Tho members of tho
crow were always soteoted after long
Investigation by tho captain, who
had been with Mr. Morgan for twenty
years. It was noticed that after tho
accident to the little Russian Czare
vitch on the Czar's yacht Mr. Mor
gan took even greator precautions
than ever. The coal bunkers wero
searched boforo sailing, and It has
beon said that every bit of fuel
takon aboard was carefully screened
under tho eye of a detective.
Strange to say, the Titanic disas
ter occurred Immediately after her
debut last year. As hor grandfather
was the principal owner of the lino
and know intimately' the ill-fated
Captain Smith, tho tragedy threw a
shadow over her coming-out festM
ties. Some of them were abandoned.
