A block of real estate worth 100000
marks is not to be despised even by
gentleman whose yearly salary
amounts to sixteen millions, and Will
lam was ready to receive the deed for
the property from the donors hand
while the donor half knelt before him.
A few days later the Official Gazette
published a royal decree appointing
Birkner Knight of the Red Eagle on
the Chain" and also making him a
member of the House of Lords, the
latter distinction conferred because of
His Majesty's particular all-gracious
trust and confidence in said Herr Birk-
ner:"
This was probably the most remark
able real estate transaction in many
years. Personally it cost the recipient
nothing, since the Prussian state pays
for orders and decorations bestowed
by the kaiser. Yet Herr Birkner is
we'll satisfied with the price he re-
ceived- He is a much more important
man in the estimation of his fellow
citizens; as member of the ''Herren-
haus, he now sits with princes of the
blood, dukes and counts. and he still
has enough money left TO spend the
rest of his days in ease and comfort.
The kaiser. ON the other hand, ac-
cepts the gift readily. for his heraldic
bureau has assured him that Cadinen
was originally the property of a Prus-
sian duke of the Wagnerian name of
Waidewut who gave it to his daughter
Cadina- That happened about 1900.
Cadinen is situated about twenty
miles from the little town of Elbing,
and has no railway connection. 1t is
only half an hours ride from the
'Frisches Haff." however and can be
reached by sea. Up to 1914 the castle

That is my statement that a n1anu-

this may result is seen in a case with

lovely, accomplished and much-trayeled
daughter of a manufacturer of the most
costly and fashionable luxuries has
every fashionable door closed in her
face, and must live out her life in
the company of greatly inferior, often
vulgar. people, because her father sells
over the counter of a shop a small

and goes down in the angry, beautiful
blue waters, never comes up again
From those earliest days when the
daring French voyagers in their trim
birch bark canoes skirted the pictur-
esque shores of this noble but reient-
less lake down to this present moment,
those who have met their deaths in
mid-Superior still lie at the stone-pav-

cold is the water, some of their bodies
may have been preserved through the
centuries. Sometimes. not far from
shore, the bodies of people who have
been wrecked from fishing smacks or
from pleasure boats overtaken ny a
cruel squall have been recovered, but
only after the most heroic efforts with
drag net or by the diver. Once on a

once he ventures on a rapturous

Whereupon her victim offers an apol-

And. whilst Edward is enduring his
