VARIOUS STORIES ABOUT HIM.

The fate of the son of Grand Duchess Steph-
anie has always remained shrouded in mystery.
According TO the popular story generally be
Heved. advantage was taken Of the temporary
absence of the grand duchess to substitute
dying child afflicted with smallpox or some other
disfiguring ailment in the cradle Of the healthy
little crown prince, who carried away by
kdnappers. Twenty years later q young man
was found fainting with hunger at the gates Of
Nuremberg and taken 70 tho police station
He was entirely unable to communicate with
anybody. having no power Of speech and no
acquaintance with either reading writing,
never having apparently conversed with any
human being He fell into charitable hands. and
gradually was taught and educated whereupon
he by degrees became able TO give some account
Of himself. From this it appeared that ne had
been kept since his childhood like a beast, in
a dark room, seeing nothing, hearing nothing
and knowing nothing When II was necessary
to cleanse him he was drugged This existence
continued from the time he could remember
until the day when he was placed blindfolded In
a cart and driven 70 the spot at the gates of
Nuremberg where he was subsequently found
by the police Among the many persons who
interested themselves in his case was the
wealthy and immensely clever Earl OF Stanhope,
grandfather OF the present Earl Of Rosebery-
Having almost unlimited wealth at his com
rnand. the earl. assisted by his gifted daughter,
the late Duchess Of Cleveland, mother of Lord
Rosebery, set TO work TO unravel the mystery in
named kaspar Hauser by the people who had
befriended him. BY dint Of research the earl
managed to collect almost incontrovertible evil
dence that Kaspar HaUser was no other than the
kidnapped Of Grand Duchess Stephanie, and
therefore the rightful sovereign Of Baden.
Stephanie on learning this was greatly agltated,
and it was arranged by Lord Stanhope that she
should meet the young fellow at Donaue-
schingen. The grand duchess reached the meet
ing place one afternoon in the company of Miss
Sophia Grsvilie. sister-in-law of old Lord Au
gustus LOTUS, who was for so many years Brit
ish Ambassador at Berlin, Vienna and st Pc
tersburg and who died only the other day. The
archduchess had hardly alighted from the
riage before she informed that kaspar
Hauser had been mysteriously assassnated that
very. morning in a secluded portion of the public
garden Of the town His breast and back were
pierced by several wounds, inflicted apparently
with Italian stiletto, and in spite of the fact
that Lord Stanhope offered reward of s. 900
for the capture and Identification of the

CHAPTER XXI.

The Mission Service in Box Canyon ls
Fl ~ Suspended. r.
Fo1lett waited with new eagerness
next day for their walk to the canyon.
But Prudence, looking at him with
eyes that sorrow was clouding, said
that she could not go. He felt a
sharp new resentment against the
man who was letting her suffer rather
than betray himself, and he again
resolved that this man must be made
to stoe the mark" to take his need
ings;;" and that, meantime, the de-
ceived girl must be effectually reas-
sured. Something must be said to
take away the hurt that was tug
ging at the corners of her smile to-
draw them down. To this end he
pleaded with her not to deprive him
Of the days lesson, especially as the
time was now at hand when he must
leave. And SO ably did he word his
appeal to- her sense Of duty that at
last she consented to 60. &. sfs
Once in the canyon, however, where
the pines had stored away the cool
gloom Of the night against the days
heat, she was glad she had come.
For, better than being alone with that
strange, new hurt, was it to have
by her side this friendly young man,
who somehow nlade her feel as IL

and then say he meets little
chit of a thing, kind of heavy>set like,
with this light yellow ha1r and pretty
light blue eyes, that he saw one Sun
day at church."
Her dark face was flushed now in
panied wonder.
F, "-why then it's so easy to keep on
and marry others, with the preachers
all preaching it from the pulpit"
But you wouldn't have to-"
t'No, you wouldn't have to marry
anyone after the second-after this
little blonde-but you'd have to marry
her because it says here that you
shall abide the law or ye shall be
damned, saith the Lord Cod"
He pulled himself along the ground
closer to her, and went on again in
what seemed to be an extremity of
doubt:
'Now, I don't want to be lost, and
yet I don't want to have a whole lot
of wives like Brigham or that old
coot we see so often on the road.
SO what am I going to do? I might
think I'd get along with three or
four, but you never can tell what re-
ligion will do to man when he really
gets it,
He reached for her small brown
hand that still held the Book of
Mormon open on her lap, and took
it in both his own. He went on, ap-
pealingly:
"Now, you try. to tell me right-like
as if I was your own brother-tell me
as a. sister, Try to put yourself in
the place of the girl I'd marry first
no, don't; it seems more like your
sister if hold it this way-and try to
think how she'd feel when I brought
home my second. Would that be do
ing square by her? Wouldn't it sort
of get her on the bark? But if I
Join your church and don't do that, I
might as we'll be one of those low
down Free-will Baptists or Episco-
pals. Come, now, tell me true, letting
on that you're my sister"

COUNCIL DISSOLVED Imperial Ukase Issued Closing Rus sian Douma Until Next Novem-
 Der.

St. Petersburg, June.-An imperial ukase was issued Sunday proroguing the Council of the Empire until No vember 13. The dissolution of the second Bouma was received through put St Petersburg with perfect tran utility, thanks to the precautionary measures, and in no place in Russia, so far as known, were there any seri- ous disturbances.
 Demonstrations among St. Peters burg workmen are anticipated. but the authorities are not alarmed. They profess to be chiefly apprehensive over the possibility of rioting and ra- cial excesses in Odessa and Kiev and other cities where party feeling runs high. An outbreak of agrarian disor- ders in several regions of the empire is anticipated later, when the peas antry learn of the dissolution, but a spirit of quiet confidence in the abil- ity of the government to handle the situation prevails in administrative circles.
 News of the dissolution reached St. ! ClGI oDui E pdptlo IOO ldLO lCi ClClA last editions, but the public was quick ly informed through extras and great posters sent out by the police at all street corners, containing the ukase announcing the dissolution and the i'm perial manifesto.
 Little knots of readers clustered around the streets the whole day, attentiyely perusing the manifesto the phrasing of which was calculated to appeal to the patriotism of the lower classes. Little enthusiasm or excite ment, however, was evoked and many of the readers, as they turned away, spat silently on the ground as a sign of contempt
 Reports were in circulation during | the day that the workmen were plan ming great demonstration in front of the palace, but they did not appear, and only occasional sightseers visited l the building.
