story relative to the death Of tho Austrian

The dice wero thrown. and Rudolf lost. The
time specified for the suicide of tho loser was
three months. and at the expiration oI thHt
period the Crown Prince fulfilled his engage
ment and took his own life. Tie fact that dur
ing tho time mentioned Rudolf was an

to give color to the foregoing story.
The Brussels correspondent OF tho G"0'Gc'e
alleges that a letter from tho Vienna corrc-
spondent Of that paper asserts that when tho

forced open the body OF beautiful young
Bohemian lady was also found. Tie cor
respondent asserts that the Crown Prince INST
killed her with revolver and then shot him-
self. and that the body OF the lady was COR

Bohemia. Two other versions OF the alleged
double tragedy are current and have already
been cabed abroad, but the foregoing account
is most generally believed.
