and showed him to the people as their EN-.
fperor and ruler. He was not sight to
{ impress the populace or inspire their great
est respect.
{ Much less attractive than his gallant
younger brother, Macmillan, who afterwards
met his fate in Mexico, Francis Joseph re-
ceived somewhat chilling reception. he was
thin, colorless, smooth-faced youth, with
timid eyes and the heavy under lip which
eharacterizes the family Of Hapsburg. The
people looked at him and commented that as
long as his mother held the reins they would
have rule of positive character, but after
that-what? The sequel shows. The young
emperor finally became the fayorite Of his
people while the Princess Sophie fell in their
estimation to very small figure. AS soon as
the young emperor had been accepted by the
people the Princess Sophie sent him away to
have good time, and for that purpose placed
him in the care of Count Gruenne with in
structions to see that the emperor enjoyed
himself To man of Count Gruenne's con-
vivial tastes there was but one Interpretation
to DO put on enjoyment, and with the en-
peror a willing pupil in his hands they
started on Il career of liveliness which caused
comment even in a land where fast living has
not been unknown among royalty. He tried,
and succeeded very well for some years, in
keeping the emperor the slave of the passions
and pleasures of the flesh. The latter paid
really 10 attention whatever, except in a per-
functory manner tn the duties Of his high

Office, while in his name the Princess Sophie
ruled tyrannically with hand of steel and
heart which was closed alike to the appeals of
her subjects and the dictates of humanity.
Reaction was the rule, and the country was
prolific in revolutionists. She had revoir-
tionists and suspects shot down like dogs,
without mercy and without hesitation.
Patriots sought refuge in exile and every
man and woman came to feel that a spy from
court lurked ever at his OF her side. The
country attributed all these acts of oppres-
sion and w-ongdoing of the Princess Sophie
to Francis Joseph, while he, seeking only his
own pleasure and careless of affairs of state,
know little and thought less of his realm and
its affairs. His awakening, however, was
coming, and occurred suddenly and with
rudeness on February Is, 1853, while the
emperor was reviewing the army on the
SehmeIy. Unexpectedly Hungarian, one
Joseph Libenyi, rushed through the ranks,
caught the emperor by the shoulder and
with a heavy knife attempted to cut his
throat. The effort would doubtless have
succeeded bat for a large buckle, such as all
Austrian officers wear at the neck, which
caught tia point of the knife. Count O'Don-
Heu ttHQ NlueE DlilcSES WHO were 0eIE Cno per-
son OF the emperor disarmed the assassin,
who was ANONYMOUSLY hanged the following
day. Libenyi had not died in vain, however,
for the emperor, meditating on his escape
and the cause of the assault, came to realize
the appropriately of his reign, as conducted
by the Princess, Sophie, and there deter
mined that he would assert his own right
and assume the cares Of government in per-
son.
Content oraneous with these events the
Princess Sophie had decided that the empe-
ror should marry. With his new determine
ton in mind this suggestion WIS very agree
able to him, and his mother was kind enough
to arrange the match for him, selecting as
his bride the Princess Helena, the eldest
daughter of the Bavarian Duke Max. The
emperor aequiesced in this arrangement and
set out for the dukes castle to consummate
the formal betrothal.
Passing through the park to the castle,
however, tho emperor spied among the trees
a young girl in short dresses and girl Of
exquisite beauty. Ascertaining that the
lovely girl who had won his admiration at
