The disputed love story between this

Frederick the Great, has been proved
by the discovery Of papers found in the
house built by baron Trenck. az 81

The kaiser was greatly excited ovef
the discovery. and the facts becams
known through his own loquacity. Hs
wished them known to refute the
charges OF cruelty made against his an.
eestor for keeping Baron Trenck in
prison for ten years.
Even 40 persistent an investigator as
Carlyle, In his greatest WORT. declares
there Is no truth in the story that Baron
Trenck was the lover of Princess
Amelia.
In tearing down the house, which was
most fortress, there WIS discovered a
skeleton with broken skull aud an
iron box like the treasure chests of old.
This ches, was taken Immediately 10
the palace and opened In the presence
OF tho emperor.
In IL were found the first draft Of the
opening chapters OF Baron Trenck's
autobiography 8 parchment written
by Baroness Annette. Baron Trcnck's

There were found heavy silver-cm-
briodered scarf. such as officers of Fred.
eriek the Great used to wear about their
waists, and which was evidently pre-
scented 10 him by Amelia. Several let.
tiers written by Baron Trcnck and the
princess, which leave no doubt as to the
relationship that existed between them,
were also discovered.
Carlyle describes Baron Trcnek as "a
loud-ppoken braggnrt OF the hisirionic-
heroic r>ri, wildly rash and not with
out mendacity, with transcendent
and not undeseryed bad luck. Baron
Trenck was born in i726. He was the
son Of a prnssiau general and entered
the army al Is. Princess Amelia was
bis senior by two or three years. His
manners. his carriage, his manly beauty
and brilliant mind made great impress
