LOWENSHJEIMS ARE REUNITED
DANISH COUNT SEEKS WIFE IN
HER TROUBLES.
Had Last Sight Of Each Other
Through Accident-Separa-
ton Not Intentional.

After a separation Of nearly two years.
Countess Brockenhaus Won I-nwenshjelm
and her husband are united again.
The pair were brought together as the
result of newspaper dispatches telling of
a humiliating experience which the count
ess suffered in Washington a few days
ago, when she was accused and convicted
Of the theft of silver forks.
The count is a Danish noble. who has
been engaged in various business enter
In some manner he and his wife became
separated.
Letters miscarried He was confined in
hospital with an attack of typhoid
fever. All communication then between
the pair was interrupted
Not long ago Countess Won LoWen-
shjeimS name was connected with the
theft of six forks. Circums tantial evil
dence was against her. Influential friends.
among them the Danish consul at Balti-
more, stepped into the case and her fine
was paid.
Reports Of her trouble were printed
throughout the south. She was before
her marriage Miss Annie Lee Rogers of
Dallas, Tex.
Her husband. reading one 81 the dis
patches in the press. Immediately came
i.
There she has been conducting a produce
and poultry farm.
He denied yesterday afternoon that
there has been "a reconciliation" be-
cause. he says, there has never been any
voluntary separation.
1t is probable that the countess will con-
tinue her business at Laurel. Her hus-
band probably will stay in this part of
the country and engage In business.
The countess is a woman of many &C
complishments. besides being capable
business manager. She has been on the
stage, and prominent among her engage
ments Is tour with Mckee Rankin.
She met the count many years ago in
Texas. Little was known of him except
that he was of noble Danish house and,
as he claims. was descended from the ia
nous King Canute, who sat on the sea-
shore and commanded that the waves
should stand still to do him honor.
His appearance is that of a typical Eu-
ropean gentleman OF noble birth. He is
six feet tall. wears a heavy beard and
has bright blue eyes.
Both the count and the countess deny
that there has ever been divorce
