1t was the year 1914. Prince Frederick

sic lesson had just ended, and the princes
master, Reichardt, the composer of our
beautiful patriotic song, "Was Ist Des
Deutschen Naterland,n - was about to de
part, when the young prince detained him.
"Mr. Reichardt - said he, with his sym
pathetic, melodious voice, "papa's birth
day will soon be here--on March 22. DIR.
Curtus thought 1t would be very nice for
me to practice something especially for the
occasion. Would you be kind enough to
select something Appropriated But II must

will see that have taken great pains, and
he will be well pleased. Papa prefers the
tender, pathetic melodies'----
"Then, your highness, one would have
to take some pretty adagio. HIM, him."
replied Reichardt, and he searched among
the music portfolio to find something ap-
propriate Finally he held one sheet OF
music in his hand longer than the rest and
examined il.

Accordingly the difficult adagio was
practiced, after all, and cost a great deal of
diligence, application and patience On
March 22 the young prince surprised his
royal father with an execution of the love
ly composition, and indeed he played it
with wonderful firmness and great express

.FIRE-ESCAPE A FATAL BED.
Mrs. Mary GIL Sleeps Outside Her
Window and Falls.

Mary Gill, thirty-six years old, a mar
ried woman, living at 329 East Thirty
second street, was found dead in the
yard beneath her window this morning.
Mrs. Gill occupied the rear room on
the fourth floor of the tenement at that
number. 1t is thought that the un-
fortunate woman had been drinking
and slept out on the fire-escape. Early
this morning in endeavoring to return
to her room through the window 1t Is
probable that she lurched over the rail
of the fire-escape.
No one saw or heard the fall. Her
sister-in-law, who had slept in the room
with her, was unaware of the accident
until a policeman awakened her and
told her of IT.
The body was discovered by an italian
woman who lived across the hall on the
same floor. She looked out of the win
dow at o'clock this morning and saw
Mrs Gill's body lying in the yard, and
called up neighbeors. Mrs. Gill was
dead and stiff. She had fallen among
lot of broken marble slabs. stored
against the house wall. and her brains
were dashed out.
The body was taken to the East
Thirty-fifth street station and the Coro-
ner notified.
The dead woman's husband, William
Gill, is locked up in the House OF Deten-
ton as witness to the murder of
Nolan by the Barry boys, as alleged, a
few nights ago in Thirty-third street.
