that the innkeeper had seen green

| Meanwhile, Ferdinand Won Berg
feldt received letters from Silesia, ac-
quainting him with his fathers sud-
den death. He hurried home with
out delay. He was aware that, in the
event of his brother Edw ards death
being proved, it would be necessary
that he should go Immediately to Ber-
lin to obtain the requisite authority
for entering into possession of his in
heritance In this matter he com
ted on the support of his sister -in-law;
of the widow would b3 entitled to an
annuity much more considerable than
the sum she had received as alimony
since her separation from her hus-
band.
Ferdinand Won Bergfeldt was not on
friendly terms with the family of his
brothers wife. Some overtures for eff
fecting reconciliation between the has
band and wife had been 'obstinately
opposed by the father of the lady,
General Count Hildenrath. This cir
cumstance had in no slight degree
wounded the pride of the Bergfeldts.
On the 28th of July, 1919, Fer
dnand arrived in Berlin, and lie lost
no time in visiting General Hidden
roth, by whom he was not received in
a very cordial manner Edwards
widow, Charlotte Won Bergfeldt, was
from home. Whilst Ferdinand was
relating t. the general al that he had
learned respecting his brothers. death,
a carriage stopped at the door, and
in few moments Charlotte entered
the drawing-room. AT sight of Fer
dinand, who advanced to meet her
with respectful interest, sha turned
deadly pale, staggered, and seemed
on the point of falling, bu5 as if by a
sudden effort, recovering her self-pos-
session, she courtesied and withdrew.
| Ferdinand was vexed at this behavior,
which he regarded as an unequivocal
sign of animosity, and after a little
further conversation with the general
he took his leave.
He subsequently saw Charlotte sew
eral times, and though she did not
seek to avoid him, yet she behaved
with GOODNESS and reserve. Though she
had just ground of complaint against
her husband, yet she rendered the due
tribute of regret for his sudden and
unfortunate death. About the end of
August, Ferdinand received a letter
from Schelntsz, which was in sub
stance as follows:

municate, which appear to me to be
Of the utmost Importance, and to which

moiselle Raumer called on me and
presented to me the left-hand glove.
This lady is an intimate friend of the
family of the Protestant Pastor Gae-
ben. She related to me that one day
whilst she was visiting the daughters
of that clergyman, discussion arose
on some point of dress, and one of the
young ladies having opened drawer
to search for something, accidentally
drew out glove, which fell at the
feet of Madame Raumer. On pick
