read it was found that he had bequeath-
ed the care of their only child, not to his
widow, but to his father and mother. de-
manding that his wife should not be al

The emperor had too much sense to COM
ply with these testament lrV directions in
full, but contented himself with forbid
ding the crown princess to take her lit
tie daus liter anywhere out of Austrian
territory.
Her position now became still more
difficult, for although by treaty she was
entitled at the Austrian court TO the
same rights and precedence as if her hus-
band had been alive and to take the place
of the empress in the Iatter'S absence
yet the animosity of her mother-in- la W
was so intense that she was never per-
mitted to do this under any circum-
stances and was always relegated to a
back seat in consequence of which she
rarely ever appeared at court. Then
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who is now
the heir to the throne, fell in love with
her and she with him, but they were not
allowed to marry in consequence of a
statute of the house Of HapsburG. which
forbids any archduke in the line of sue
cession to the throne to wed widow.
Thus subjected to unkindl treatment
on every side, the crown princess be-
came cynical heartless, Eighty and very
fast indeed. She was seen here, there and
everywhere Her name was associated
