gravity followed, and it was during the
course thereof that poor Baron Won

Won Tausch and himself had casually
been "employed" in watching Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein. with a view
to finding him in some manner at fault,
and thus TO bring about his downfall.

Won Tausch TO Prince Won Eulenburg.

was when 50 fatal a phrase as the fol-
lowing was read aloud, leave 10 the

eyes"
Disastrous. was 1t not, especially as
the honorable and great people present,
by putting their heads together and cal
culating that after all that is said and
done two and two make four, found an q.
other queer fact starting them In the
face-nameIy, that the excellent Colonel
Won Tausch, shortly after the reception
Of his letter by Prince Won Eulenburg,
had attained the supreme distinction Of
one of the highest Austrian orders. pro-
cured for him by no less person than
the German Ambassador and debonaic
society hero who had taken Vienna by
storm.
This certainly did seem TO cllnch the
matter. But Bieberstein is not the sort

habit of his to notice tribes, and his
bright. clever eyes could scarcely miss
the slouching gait of spy lurking in the
immense shadow Of his siX-foot-four
body; 50 he calmly stated that fact,
adding in his agreeably cool and per-
fectly restrained voice that since his
ideas were in complete contradiction TO

evil but sometimes handy system was
directed against himself. he begged to
declare that, inasmuch as he could not
carry on his duties OF Minister Of For

glad to be relieved of such onerous func-
tions.
His speech on that occasion was at

had been strangely enough merely
dawdling along the road TO great en-
bassles. in spite of all his gifts and tai

perial master that in 1892 he actually
obtained the blue ribbon of the German
diplomatic service-namely. the ambas-
SadOrship AZ Vienna.
When this occurred the growing sur
prise Of the Berlin world reached its
perihelion, and Eulenburg began to be
regarded as destined sooner or later 10
