Warning Death Phantom Of the Reign
ina House of Prussia. VI

Warning Death Phantom Of the Reign
ing House Of Prussia.
On the night before the battle Of
Saalfeld Prince Louis Of Prussia and
his adjutant, Count Nostitz were chat
ting In the Schloss Schwarzburg-R u-
dolfstadt The prince was anticipat-
ing victory when he SUD enly turned
pale and rushed from the room, pur-
suing through the hail shadowy
white robed figure. The sentinel saw
1t also.
Next day Nostitz and the prince saw
the white lady on hill wringing her
hands In despair as the Germans fell
back. A few minutes later Louis was
killed and Nostitz wounded Nostitz
told the story to his son, and the son
to Unser Fritz.
The white lady's first appearance
was when she was seen in the palace
at Baireuth in 1856. she appeared
eight or ten times in the next century.
When the French officers were quar-
tered In Baireuth she frightened them,
in particular General d Espagne, who,
the day after he had seen her, pointed
to a portrait on the wall and cried:
TT is she! That means my death r
He was killed soon afterward.
8 The superstitious poleonl wouldn't
sleep in the castle. but the white lady
went to see him elsewhere. she was
seen before the death Of the beautiful
Queen Louise, Of Frederick william
III, Of Frederick William Nv, of I'M
ser Fritz himself and Of many other
members of the reigning house Of
Prussia.
