have committed suicide. He then assumes
the character of foster brother to the late
Prince, and engages himself as courier in
the family of his inamorata, and in that
capacity wins her heart, and, by exposing
the m~ercenary motives ofthe older woman,
frees himself the Prince from all obliga-
tions to her. This is but the merest
skeleton of the story of the charming play,
which must be seen to be appreciated.

Prince Karl is q progidy in the art world.
He is q musical composer of high merit

full leader of the german, and, all round,
a wonderfully accomplished man, who
has met reverses with %fortitude, and sue
