[Continued from Friday.]
At the time of this royal visit, the
Duchess of Aosta was twenty-two
vears old. Her Majesty was thirty - j
one, the Duke forty-four, and the:
Kaiser thirty years:—these figures
tell the story. Letitia would not
have been the daughter of Pl.on-
Plon —had she not preferred the im
perial blonde of thirty to her swarthy
husband, twice her age. And under
the influence of his young guest.
William remembered all of a sud
den that his wife was older than
himself.
Italy Refused Kaiser'- Request
1 atii writing of things 1 have seen,
and conjectures are odious where a
woman is concerned; but to com-j
plete my story it is necessary to say
that the Duke and Dukes left our
court abrtttly. ten hours before the
stipulated time, and that the Duchess
never obtained another invitation to
our Court.
True, she visited Berlin once more,
but she travelled incognito then,
which was the best thing she could
do. considering that Auguste \ ic
toria had refused to receive her. Re
sides. she came as a petitioner. The
Kaiser was to intervene on her be
half with King Vmberto. who had
cut off her allowance and had re- !
fused to invite her to his silver wed
ding. ....
Letitia and William met. Ma- j
donna, your every wish is a com
mund," and forthwith a cipher dis- .
patch to the King of Jtai>. couched ;
in the moat amiable terms, issued '
from the German foreign office. It'
is further claimed that they agreed;
to meet two weeks hettce. in Rome: !
but the same day the Empress got
wind of the arrangement by one of
those infernal anonymous letters.
So Umberto refused and ordered
his Berlin Ambassador to conduct
the Aosta to St. Moritz. That closed
the romance of William and Letitia.
Act More Ennobling German Court
Affairs
Among many other Court func
tions 1 especially recall, the "all
highest" revel in the hunting-lodge
Grunewald, which led to the succes
sion of horrible anonymous letters.
It took place in the early winter,
when my mistress, who had given
life to Princess Victoria Louise in
the middle of September, was not
yet able to ride to the chase.
In vain had Auguste Victoria
pleaded postponement until she were
stronger and able to attend: 'all
the invitations were issued"; "Count
Philli could not come at a later j
time, his duties not permitting him,
to leave Vienna after the date fixed"; ,
besides, later on. he. the Kaiser,
had to prepare for the formal open- |
ing of the Reichstag," etc.
I had been one of the red-coats
at the annual Hubertus hunt and
my report luiil pleased my mistress.
The Countess Hohenau had been
there, but rode her horse woman- [
fashion, and returned, like the other
ladies, to Potsdam shortly after the
boar was brought down.
"You are sure she did not go back
in the chalet, to participate in the
• dinner, by another rout* inquired
Her Majesty.
"I ordered my coachman to keep
behind Her Ladyships carriage,
and, though she drove furiously, the
command was strictly followed. 1
saw the Countess' phaeton turn into
the court-yard of her vii a. and up
to ten minutes ago, she did not.
leave the house. I put a man on
watch there now, according to Your
Majesty's orders."
Kaiserin Has Kaiser Shadowed
My mistress had grown very red
in the face.
"I see your zeal has led you too
far," she said, coldly; "but as your
friend. Madame von N . lives!
near the Hohenaus. drive to her on
some pretext and call off your spy."
At the Hubertus dinner two hun
dred and twenty-five covers were
laid: the company at the lodge two
weeks later was much more limited.
—five or six ladies and some twenty
gentlemen.—among them the Duke
of Schleswig. Prince George Radzl
will, the Eulenburgs. Philip and
Augustus; Generals von llahnke, von
Plessen. and von Scholl. Adjutant
von Huelsen. and the Masters of
Ceremony. Herr von Kotze and
Baron Schrader.
Our rubicund friend, Madame von
Scholl. did the honors. There were,
besides her and Countess Fritz, sev
eral friends of Duke Gunther. who
had not been met in society before.
All I know about them is that they
responded to the names of French
marquises and wore an astonishing
number of lace petticoats.
"Philli never sang better, and
Huelsen fairly outdid himself in his
capacity as Court jester; those
French dames, too. danced enchant
ingly on a marble-topped table."
said one of the guests; "but the
Kaiser. though applauding his
lriends' efforts, seemed absent
minded. During the whole of the
evening he sat at the side of Count
ess Fritz, who was arrayed in a co
quettish demi-toilet of white and
purple velvet. One of her superb
arms leaned upon the Kaiser's
fauteuil, and he fondled her hands."
Midnight Session of Imperial Court
Toward midnight, Kotze, good
•latured fool that be is (if it meant
death to him he would still lie the
best person in the world to intrust
with a commission concerning the'
King's pleasure), Kotze. I said, pro
posed that all go spook-hunting.
" Mon Dieul' " cried the French
women, " 'is there a White Lady
about this castle, too?'"
Royal Mistress Immured and Starv
ed to Death
And then Duke Gunther told the
story of the beautiful cannon
founder's wife, whom Margrave
Joachim's Princess caused to be im
mured on the staircase leading from
her husband's room in the first story
to the cellar.
The cruel deed is said to have oc- j
curred about 1545, and the walled
up entrance to the staircase can
still be seen. There are even many
who think they can hear the poor,
starved wench moaning in her cen
turies' old burial-place.
To investigate this, Kotze pro
posed that we adjourn to the Joa
chim wing. We did so with niany
affectations of chicken-heartedness,
and when we returned and counted
noses, there were two missing.
Kaiser Had Skipped With Mine.

MONDAY EVENING.
n sleigh ready all evening, the horses
being changed hourly, and as
soon as the company left the par
lors. the Kaiser and Countess Fritz
jumped in. and. outriders with torch
es having been sent ahead, drove to
Potsdam, Charlotte handling the
ribbons.
Grand-master Eulenburg was, of
course, supposed to know nothing
of this. but. being responsible for
the Kaiser's person, he had arrang
ed for a second sleigh, with the fast
est team from the imperial stables,
to follow the other at a moment's
notice. Its occupants, an expert
driver and a valet, were to keep,
behind the Kaiser without making
their presence known.
When we learned of these pre
cautionary measures, a load came
off our minds, and particularly the
news that Her ladyship was driving
gave us relief, for everybody remem
bered the many narrow escapes
Willie!m has had when acting as
his own coachman."
Toward live o'clock in the morn
ing the driver and valet returned,
announcing that "Majesty was safe."
.Anonymous l-'icnd Starts Business
And further this witness sayeth
not. but next day, at noon, when the
valet brought Auguste Victoria's
mail, 1 noticed among the letters an
envelope without initials or seal.
This was most unusual. Ordinarily,
letters of royalty, and of friends
only, wore submitted to my mistress
in person, ltaron von Mirbnch, the
same who was murdered in Moscow
in ISIS, taking care of a l others,
as the majority were merelv peti
tions.
Examining the envelope still clos
er. 1 saw that the ceremonious ad
dress was written in Latin letters
and in imitation of print. However,
despite my misgivings. I had to lay
the missive before the Empress.
T put the mail on a silver tray and
ordered the footman to carry it into
the library, where 1 preceded him
to hand the letters to Her Majesty,
who was sitting at her writing-table.
Ly a strange coincidence, the Kai
serin espied the queer envelope at
once: while 1 was giving her the
letters with such remarks as "from
Her Majesty. Queen Victoria": "from
Her Highness, the Duchess of
Glueksburg"; from Princess Feo";
" om " Auguste Victoria inter-i

Germans Trying to
Establish Pre-war
Relations with. Allies
Treves, Saturday, April s.—De
termined attempts by the Germsns to
re-establish commercial relations with
tlte allied countries as soon as possible,
are revealed through an examination of
correspondence which, und<;r an author
ization issued recently. Is now passing
from tlie American area of occupation
through the censors to France. England
and the l"nited States. All mail for
destinations outside the occupied zone
passes through the hands of the Amer
ican censors In Treves.
A large percentage of the corre
spondence during the last few days, it
is said, has contained offers or requests
for business relations and even adver
tisements for insertion in British and
American newspapers. The letters for
the X'nited States generally contained
offers to establish branches for Ameri
can automobiles, clothing and various
other lines.

42 nationalities, packed a theater here
yesterday for an "Americans all mani

were "for America first, last and all
the time."
Before they left tlie building, they
had adopted resolutions pledging to buy
as many Victory lann bonds during
the coming campaign as they could af
ford. and to do all in their power to
induce others to go into the campaign
with all the spirit of former campaigns.
Another Issue of

the treasury. Subscription books will
close April 17.
This is the first issue of loan certifi
cates for nearly a month, the last bi
weekly issue having been omitted from
the program because of the large over

cluding this issue, the amount of certifi
cates to be redeemed front proceeds of
the Victory Liberty loan is approxi
mately $5,355,000,000.

LEGISLATURE NEWS
PREPARING TO
| ADD RESERVES
Game Commission Ready to
Buy Lands as Soon as Ap- '
propriation Is Available
Slate same officials have scat
; word to all same protectors and
other officers connected with the de
partment, to make lists of sites avail
i able for establishment of game pre
j serves acting upon the assumption
| that tlte Senate will soon pass the
j Bowman bill authorizing the coin
j mission to expend $50,000 a year of
- the hunters' license fund for pttr-
I chase of lands for reserves. The
tirst preserves will be laid out in
western Pennsylvania counties, half
| a dozen having already been listed.
| Others are expected to be secured.
This bill will enable the State to
i buy lands and to lease them, reserv
ing mineral rights where necessary.
The Wallace bill establishing aux
-1 illary reserves is also expected to
j pass and the State will then be in
j a position to undertake one of the
! most ambitious game propagation
i programs of any Commonwealth.
It is expected that a number of
tracts will be offered when the new
system gets working.
The State authorities have receiv
ed a number of letters supporting
the Philips bill to change the bounty
system and expect it to be enacted.
Not much is thought of the Steven
son bill to place a bounty of live
; cents on crows. It is all right to
have crow hunts and to try to poison
1 black coats, but it' a bounty was
placed on them it would be expen
sive and the usefulness of the crows
would disappear.
Considerable interest has been
! aroused by the bills to protect the
I pole eat and other fur bearing ani
mals and legislators are asking that
one of the bills be reported out so
(that its merits can be discussed. The
Eyre bill fixing a season for coons
may be amended to provide earlier
! shooting of black birds and to take
the red squirrel off the protected
! list for a while.
