After long stay In Madrid the arch
duke came north again and resumed
his military career In Austria. but at
points outside of Vienna. He has now
returned to the capital and his affair
with Frauein Czuber Is once more the
gossip OF the hour.
Curiously enough, II Is said that the
Czuber family are by no means keen
on the match. The archduke has more
than once formally asked the profess
sor for his daughters hand I'm mar
rage, but the father has dscreetly
avoided compromising himself I'm the
matter. If the emperor consented to the
match, II would be of course another
matter. but as that is n very unlikely
contingency the Herr Professor is hold
ing back. He is not at all anxious TO
see his daughter living In such an ex-
allied circle, having great doubts as TO
the happiness which she might find
there.
PERSONALLY POPULAR,
Personally, the Archduke Ferdinand
Karl Is one of the most popular and
highly esteemed members Of the inn
peral family He has a slender and
elegant figure and until a few months
ago had remarkably boyish APP
pearance. Latterly, however. he seems
10 be more reserved and serious and his
features have become bronzed from ex-
posure to wind and sun while pSfiorm-
ing his military duties. He Is fond Of
art. and loves the drama, and was a
frequent occupant OF an imperial box
at the Court theater He has also ..iken
part In amateur theatricals, But what
is much more remarkable in an Aus
trim archduke Is that Ferdinand Karl
takes keen interest In politics and Is
an avowed supporter OF the German
liberal party. which Is not particularly
pleasing 10 the heir to the throne, Franz
Ferdinand who II a strong reactionary
and clerical.
Among his brother officers and the
qenernl public the archduke Is immense
ly popular. Some years ago when COM
handing the Third Tyrolean Imperial
Jaeger regiment, he dned regularly two
OF three times week at the Officers
mess. but only after expressly stlpulat-
ing that there should be no change
Of the meal on his account. His brother
officers were quite free to come and

dress uniform. one OF his first acts aft
or going TO Prague was TO dispense with
police protection, and he frequently
walked home alone to the Hradschin
palace from the town at midnight.
Public sympathy Is entirely with tho
archduke and It IL hoped that the emf
peror may yet be prevailed upon 10

choice There are rumors that the cou-
pie are already married, but | am as

peror has protested, and so have all
the archduke's imperial and royal rel
atiyes, but 80 far he has refused to
heed them.
There were rumors of such an at
tachment couple OF years ago and
the archduke was relieved of high
military command. and sent on an ex-
tended foreign tour to cure him of his
infatuation. He has now returned, but
change OF scene seems TO have made no
change in his affections. He is still
determined 10 wed the professors beau
tltul daughter. Because of the arch
dukes nearness to the throne, the affair
excited much anxiety and attention.
is THIRD SON.
Born In 1868, Ferdinand Karl was the
third son OF the emperor's brother, the
late Archduke Karl Ludwig. His eld-
err brothers are Franz Ferdinand and
Otto. The former archduke having con-
tracted q morganatic marriage with
the Countess Chotek, renowned the
rights OF succession to the throne on
behalf OF his children. The Archduke
Otto. the next heir Is In a very pre-
oarious state OF health, and Of his two
sons. the elder, Archduke Karl Franz.
Is also delicate. 1t will be seen there
fore that the Archduke Ferdinand
Karl, as next in succession to Otto's
sons, Is quite near enough in the direct
line TO make a left-handed marriage
an AFFAIR OF very considerable conse-
quence for the dynasty.
THE OFFENDING MAIDEN.
Bertha Czuber, the "burgerlioher"
maiden, who has won the archduke's
affections. Is described as being extra
ordinarily beautiful with charming and
delightful manners. Her father, Eman-
uel Czuber, Is professor of mathematics
IN the Vienna Technical institute. and
mas the official rank Of "Hofrath' Ber-
ina made the acquaintance Of her Inn
perlal lover In Vienna, but their oppor-
tunities OF meeting were much more
favorable at Rostok, near Prague, where
Bcrthas uncle Is director Of the Nobel
Dynamite works. Rostok Is a fayorite
excursion point for the citizens of
Prague, and the archduke, who was
then commanding the Nineteenth in
tantry brigade, with headquarters at
the Bohemian capital made frequent
trips to Rostok. His attachment to the
dynamite directors niece became the
subject of much gossip, especially
among the ladies OF Prague. with whom
the archduke was a great favorite.
