BERLIN, Oct. 22.-One of those fire.
quent dramas of love between Ger
man officer and a woman of lowly cir
cumstances eliminated here few days
ago in q tragedy which put an end to a
promising career and probably to a
young and vigorous life.
About year ago Lieut.. Won Lieres
und Wilkau of the First Fusilier
guards made the acquaintance of a
pretty dressmaker named Anna Gra-
bow. But while time cooled the oftl-
GERS ardor it only increased that of
the girl, and it gradually dawned on
him that it would not be so easy TO
break the intimacy as it had been to
make it, To those of his comrades
who shared his confidence he more
than once expressed fears that the af-
fair would have a slniste" denouement
TRIES TO ABANDON WOMAN
He had meanwhile been appointed
regimental adjutant and had been de-
tailed to the war academy, where Of
ficers are trained for the general staff.
No doubt an increasing sense of his
military responsibilities made him all
the more anxious to snap the ties that
bound him to the humble needleWoman.
Finally he decided that his absence at
the maneuvers woIld be a suitable op-
portunity for bringing about final
separation.
On the Sunday before his departure
from Berlin he sought to pave the way
for this step, but the girl was dunn
founded by his proposal and over
whelmed him with reproaches. On the
eve Of leaving the city he wrote let
ter of farewell and he hoped she would
accept the inevitable breach with good
grace.
Lieut.. Lieres returned from the ma
neuvers and on the next morning when
he was in the act of giving out the
parole in the barrack square of his
regiment Anna Grabow appeared on
the scene and insisted on speaking to
him. He urged upon her that it was
not a suitable place or time for such a
discussion as theirs must be, but no
argument would move her. Her plead
ings grew louder and more violent, and
finally the man had her dragged off the
ground by a on-commissioned officer.
SHOOTING IN APARTMENT
But the reckoning had only been
postponed. When he reached his home
in the afternoon sne was waiting out
side in the street. He brushed past
her and ran upstairs. She followed
him as quickly and forced her way in
before he could close the door of his
fat Angry voices were heard and
then a shot. People who had been at
tracted by the noise hurried in and
found the girl lying on the floor, while
Lieut.. Won Lieres stood at the window
with a revolver in his hand. At that
moment the lieutenant seemed to real
ize what he had done, and, raising his
hand, fired into his own face. The girl
is seriously wounded, but her admirer
is not expected to survive. Even If
his life should be spared his military
career will have been ended, as the
bullet severed the optic nerve and de-
stroyed the sight of one eye.

three miles over the rough country at
