that there must be one is proven by
the fact that the whole matter was
hushed up and forgotten. Three ma
tions might have been involved in so
rash an order but were not.
There was little shopgirl in Stet-
tin, Germany, who, having read much
in society novels of the gay life at
court, longed, as many another shop
girl has done, to taste of it. But Anna
was different from others of her class.
She was beautiful and realized it and
had a mind of wonderful versatility.
Although uneducated, she devoted her
self to study and in short while had
superficial knowledge of many
things, with the charm to make a
great deal of it. Saving up little
money, she made herself some dresses
and shortly after disappeared from her
native town. She turned up at Buda-
tiful and expensive hotel Unter den
Linden. Here she met Prussian
count, who instantly became fascinat-
ed with her.
She had registered as the Countess
Rigiano, but naively let it be known
that this was really not her right
name. No, she was the Archduchess
Katherine of Australasia, and, there
fore, a near relative of Prince Ferdi
nand of Australasia, then heir pre-
sumptive to the Austro-H Hungarian
throne. She had fortune, she said
under the care of the kings of Saxony
and Roumania. The income of 1000,
900 marks would come to her on hel
twenty-first birthday.
Acted Her Part Well.
She was soon the belle of small
circle of Prussian nobility, each ol
whom had heard the story under the
| oath of secrecy. At the theater par
ties and teas she carried off the hon
ors of the grand lady with the title .o
serene highneSs. Outside this privi
legged circle she remained plain Count

second will. The latter put the will in
the hands of Havre lawyer and gave
him power to act as his notary. AS a
result the will was taken into court.
This was part of the scheme of the
Humberts-a scheme to legalize the
fiction. The money being tied up, it
was natural that the Humberts should
be forced to borrow. And borrow
they did.
For '16 years, while one kind of liti.
cation after another occupied the at
tention of the courts, the big safe
which was the depository of the $20,.
100000 occupied position of honor
in the Humbert household. When

that the safe actually contained the
bonds said to be held there and pro-

sonal note indorsed by Maria, SO that
whichever way the ultimate decision
of the court ran the lenders would be
secured. So long as this ultimate de-
| cision could be deferred so long the
game could be successfully played.
1t seems remarkable that these cred.
| itors did not ask for the numbers of
| these bonds or examine more closely
| into the antecedents of the rich Amer.
| lean, who, although the possessor of a
fortune of $2O,0OO,0OO, excited no at
tention in his native land; in fact, who
seemed to be entirely unknown.
1t may be that they did investigate,
and, lacking sufficient data to probe
the matter to the bottom, were unable
to go beyond the records of the French
courts; or, satisfied by the legal steps
which had been taken that such a
legacy did actually exist, they rested
in the secure belief that their loans
would be repaid.
The End Of the Farce.
Various efforts were made to recov.

but nearly all of these were iunsuccess.
