Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

nNE of the important steps in the designs
of the Emperor of Austria in the 1905
to absorb Brandenburg and Prussia, then
ruled by King Frederick William, was to ar
range a marriage between Princess Wilhel-
NINA daughter of the latter, and Adolph,
Margrave of Schwedt. Adolph was gener-
ally looked upon as a half-witted drunken
fool; but beneath his maudlin exterior lay
concealed large kind heart and astonishing
perspicacity. Adolph loved Wihelmina,
and as his mother from purely unselfsh
consummated. he was easily persuaded to
journey to Berlin in obedience to the sum-
mons of Grumkow who was Prime Minis
ter of King Frederick William, but really
the Emperor of Austria's tool and spy at
the Berlin court
At the same time, Frederick Henry
(known as Fritz Henry, hereditary Prince
of Bayreuth, secretly left home to escape
an expected offer of marriage to one of the
uduSHteis vi august Tic oldIk, hHlS oI
Poland and Elector of Saxony. the patron
of Bayreuth. He and his father were
agreed that almost any fate would be
better than an alliance with August's cor
rupt court. He travelled under the name
of Captain Henry Churchill of England
When near Chemnitz, he was captured bv
brigands, who avowed their intention of
taking him to their MASTER refusing all
other information.
