Ifs y That Changed
History


and have placed upon Germany S neck
a yoke that would have been well-nigh
impossible to remove, and, unOfhCially
or otherwise. efforts were made to as
sassinate the Prussian King. The most
dangerous of these COnspiracieS was
averted by the smallest sort of an 'if."
Here is the story:
Frederick was in the habit of rising at
or o'clock in the morning. He
used to 20 directly to his study, where.
slipping a cup of chocolate, he would
transact official business for several
hours, looking over complaints, reading
personally every letter addressed ITO
the King" righting grievances, and
solving knotty political problems.
Early one morning the King, with his
two pet greyhOundS at his heels, walk
ed into his Neues Palais study and be-
gan looking over heap of documents
piled on the table there. A servant
placed the usual cup of hot chocolate Al
his side. Having chanCed to open some
letter of more than usual interest, Fred
eriCk waited until he had finished read
ing it before turning to his morning
chocolate. Then, to his disgust, he
found that a spider had fallen from
web on the ceiling and had landed in
the middle of the cup. The poor insect
was Sprawling helpless in the ChoCo-
late. 1t was not a sight to tempt the
appetite, especially so early in the
lllOl lllIlS L lie ENilI6 puSlCu lIlt cup
aside and rang for another.
Then he noticed the greyhounds that
had come close to his chair in the hope
of sharing their masters morning meal.
Pouring the chocolate, spider, and all
into a saucer, Frederick set the recepta-
Gle on the floor in front of the hounds.
In a minute the hungry dogs had
licked the saucer clean. In another
minute both animals were writhing and
bowling in death agOnieS.
The chocolate had contained enough
poison TO kill several men. But for the
spider the King would have died as
swiftly and as surely as did his dogs.
Inquiries were made at once. The
Kings French cook had prepared the
chocolate. Officers Of the guard hur-
ried to seize him and drag him before
Frederick. But they were not quick
enough. News of his crimes failure
had already reached the cook, and to
avoid capture he had cut his throat.
Little by little the truth came out.
The cook had been secretly in the pay
of an Austrian intriguer. and had been
induced by large reward to administer
the poison.
The King. in memory of the spider
that had saved his life, caused his
Neues Palais study to be adorned with
the big golden web. which may still be
seen there.
