The second day of their stay Nine.
Koraleff possessed herself of some $l5,

with him, and eloped to Switzerland
with her husbands valet.
In due course the deserted husband
obtained fresh funds and set forth in
search of the guilty pair. After some
delay Nine. Koraleff was located in
Zurich, where she had been left desti-
tute by the partner of her flight. whose
fat.ry had been attracted by woman
more to his liking than the wife of his
late master.
There was a reconciliation, and the
reunited pair again set forth in search

anne, again in a state of single blessed
ness. his latest partner having taken
herself off with a newer ideal, though
she broke the chain by leaving what
was left of the money with the valet.
The penitent valet was reinstated in
favor upon returning what was left of
the money, and the three journeyed
back to Russia.

professor, produce far finer wine than
freshly gathered fruit. Moselle wines
come from grapes which are in simply
awful condition. The grapes grown In
the Moselle districts are not subjected

The kaiser, who was waiting, forgot,
for the first time in his life, doubtless,

princess and disappeared with her in
the interior of the Schloss before the
crown prince had time to set his guard

He stuck to his post. In the mean

state of affairs. He was greatly

looking the courtyard and from this
lofty height witnessed the parade
march of the company.
