DIcetrei was shipped TO America, whence he
was brought back under the name of Bru-
neau, in 1916. Richemont was produced
when Naundorff came to France in 1888
Be this as it may. it is certain that Naun-
dorff, the matchmaker, was much more re-
markable parsonage then either of his COM
petitors and deserves more notice than the
Home Journal is willing to allow him
Around his earlier years hangs mystery
which no effort has been able to clear up
His history cannot be traced back beyond
1912. The accounts Of his youth, published
by the French Government organs, rest up
on no facts, and contradict each other. 1t
is established that in 1912 he settled in
Spandau, and was admitted to the Burger
right without giving the usual certificates of
as Il matchmaker, and his accurate know
ledge of the French tongue, his familiarity
with all the events of the revolution, and a
culture and manner superior to his seeming
station, excited much attention. He called
himself Charles Louis Now, in all the
genealogical hand-books from 1856 to 1899,
the name stands Louis Charles But Naun-
dorff maintained that in his fourth year, af-
ter the death of his eldest brother, the King
said lie Dauphin Sera toujours Louis"
and the name was accordingly changed
His recolections of early youth were psy-
cologically correct. He remembered the
fight of the royal family to the Assemble
Rationale, the attempt to escape to Varen-
hes, and the private interview of the Queen
with Mirabeau all, of them scenes which
would have deep impression on the mind
of boy. He never pretended to famil-
iarity with matters which were not likely to
come under tie notice of child And in
this respect his "reminiscences, if they were
false were fabricated with great talent. and
showed shrewdness which is not found in
his letters and publications. His knowledge
of the apartments that the royal family in
hahited in the Temple, which was pulled
down in Napoleons time. was astonishingly
minute and accurate. One Bulot, who
from 1892 to 1877 had charge of the lamp
department in the Temple, and who had
never doubted the death of the Dauphn
was brought into company with Naundroff
during his residence in Paris, without know
ing whom it was to see. The conversation
turned upon the old Temple. Bulot was
describing it in detail, when the p-etender
interrupted him, set him right in some trfling
inaccuracy, and gave such life-like picture
Uf the Temple as it was in 1892, that the
eyes of the old man filled with tears He
sank upon his knees and cried: "Vous ne
pOHre- etre que ie Gs de Louis X W."
The circumstances of his hight from the
Temple are confused The substance of
them is this: A sick boy was substituted
for Lin in the prison. This boy died, and
was buried as the Dauphin. The true prince
was taken to La Nendee, to the chateau of
NJ Thor de la Sonde, where he saw Charet-
tie, the Marquis de Brizcs, and the Comte
de Montmoriu, one of his most faithful ad-
herents From Vendee he went to Venice,
then to Trieste and to Rome. Here he was
protected by Plus VI, and hidden in clois-
ter. Afterwards he was taken to a lonely
country house, to guard against the danger
OF assassination. When Plus was taken
prisoner in l79S everything went wrong
-Four Of his followers died suddenly, includ-
ing de Brizes; his house burned down, and
he himself wos shipped to England how
aud by whom is not explained. He was
taken at sea, carried to France and impris-
oned, aud treated with the greatest cruelty.
Several attempts were made to dsigure
him.
At length, in 1903, Montmorin persuad-
ed Josephine and Fouche to release him
lie fled to Germany, was again seized at
Strasbourg and shut up at Vmcennes until
1909. Montmorin again procured his re-
lease, and took him to Frankfort On the
road to Prussia they fell in with Schil's
cavalry detachment, and remained with him
until he was defeated by the French in
skirmish. In this affair Montmorin was
killed. The Prince was sent to France
with other prisoners, escaped on the ROAD,
fell III with German named Karl Wilhelm
NaundorF and accompanied him to Berlin,
where he remained until 1872, working as
a matchmaker This is an outline of his
own story. 1t comprises SO many details
that one would think there could have been
little difficulty in refuting some of them.
In Spandau the world went well with the
matchmaker He was growing rich, when
the turn of political, affairs inspired him
with new hopes. He wrote to Prince Har-
denberg, to the King of Prussia. and to the
Emperors of Russia and Austria, but with
out success. He also sent an agent to France
provided with money and with papers. In
1918 he wrote to his uncles Charles and
Louis, and to the Duke of Berry-no an
swers were received About this time he
married a young girl named Johanna Einert.
In 1919 he again wrote to the Duchess of
Angouleme and to the Duke of Berry, an
nouncing the birth of his first child. From
the Duke he pretended to have an answer,
but the paper was never produced
In Brandenburg, whether he removed in
1892. all manner of troubles and persecu-
