All the gossip and scandals that have
clouded her fame have not affected the
crown princess popularity with the mem
bers Of all classes, save the highest. They
greatly admired the bright Austrian woman
who spoke to them and even mingled with
them without assumption OF superiority and
who was constantly doing kindness to the
poor. The crown prince is too ostenta-
tiously pious and proper to be loved. His
people know that, but, whatever his faults,
his life has been miserably unhappy amid
stern, unsympathetic surroundings.
Hurried out Of Dresden, the crown prin-

gerously close. As the foremost boat came
up into the light around the tug Wilson and
Brownsen sighted their guns upon It. The
CLEAN of the polished barrels and the warn
ings of the two men caused the rowers to
back water. Just then. the tug began to
move. The leader in the first boat became
frantic. He stood up in the bow and yelled
to the captain with all his might. The cap
tain grinned ironically and pulled the whis-
tie cord. The plant OF the boatman was
lost In one long blast of farewell. Both
gunners then threw themselves fat on the
deck, an action which saved them from
the shower of bullets that followed the boat
into the night.
They ordered the captain to run straight
down the coast. He raised his eyes some
what, but obeyed. The dictator kept closely
to his cabin, and by morning they were
sixty miles on their way. On the second
day they ran into Aspinwar, where they
took steamer for New York. Just before he
dismissed the tug jocular idea occurred
to Wilson. He gave the captain strict or
ders to proceed back to the harbor from
which he had come with what he called
sealed advices. The advices were to the
new president Of the republic, and, in brief,
read as follows:
