THE EMPEROR WAS woRsTED.
A Little Hungarian Girl Got
veBge For SadOwa.
Nrom the New York Trihune.

From the New York Tribune.
The present Kaiser would probably
admit that he had often been thwar
in any of his plans but an anecdote l.
recently become known which shows tn
he at least once got the worst of it," ant
it is all the more piquant from the fact
he was defeated by a girl.
When the Kaiser. who was then Prince
Wilhelm. was about ten years old he and
Prince Heinrich spent some time at Cas-
sci with their tutors, who sometimes al
lowed the little princes to play with other
children. One day when several of them
were gathered together it chanced tnat q
little French girl was among the number,
and the young German conceived the
brilliant idea of making her Il representa-
tive of the country they all so cordially
hatel. The delightful plan was immedi-
ately put into execution, and the poor
child was tied to a tree. Then began a
fusilade OF pine cones sticks, etc, and
whenever anything struck her there was
IL cry of Here's FOR Sedan!' This went
on for few minutes when q littio HunI>
garIan girl. Helena Won D, who was
watching. could bear the injustice no
| longer. and. singing out Prince 3. .lhelm
as chief offender, she threw her elf on
him. The attack being uneXpect d, he
was completely taken by surprise, Nd fell
down, whereupon she began to pound him,
| crying out at each blow, Here's for
/
| the worst of it, for his little adversary
| was thoroughly in earnest, when the i'm
| perial tutors, hearing the noise, rushed
| up and separated the combatants. After
! that the Princes were more carefully
| watched and Wilhelm had no opportunity
| to 'get even with the little champion
! of justice Some days afterward, hear
| ing that the Princes We're leaving, Helana,
went down to the gate to see them go
| by. AS they passed Wilhelm spied his
| foe, and, leaning out behind his tutor he
| stuck out his tongue.
! Helena was the daughter, of titled par
| ents, and later she was married to an
| Englishman. When the Kaiser was re-
| Gently in London she told this story to
one of his gentlemen in waiting, who in
| turn repeated it to His Majesty. The
| latter exclaimed: "Is that d. of girl
here now? l would like to see her." A.
meeting was arranged, hut Helena bS
came i'll, and so they never met aft
that one encounter, to make friends
| renew hostilites.
