Found in the Grnffn

When the Queen Mother saw her son
she asked what he was doing in her
conservatory; who had been with him:
FOR I heard you speaking as I entered
the door" she added
Augustus declared that he had been
alone. His mother charged him with
untruth-saying that she herself had
seen a woman going toward the con-
servatory from the palace She looked
around with searching glance. and
her eyes rested suspicionsly upon the
grotto.
ut will be we'll to explore this grot-
to-" said she.
Augustus begged her not to do so.
but walking quickly to the suspected
place, she saw female form moving
in the shrubbery at the grotto's mouth.
Come, young lady" cried the Queen.
and save yourself the disgrace of be-
ing dragged forcibly from your hiding
place.
Louise Won Pannewitz stepped out
and threw herself at the feet of the
sueen Mother. Louise declared that
being tired she had stroiled to the
conservatory and had fallen asleep In
the grotto

Without a Heart

As a matter of fact, the fair Morien
had no heart She had an ambition to
play part in the affairs of state; to
mold this fribble of a Prince to her viii
when he should come upon his fathers
throne.
She was not alone IN this ambiton--al
the court Of Reinsbers mad the same am
bition-only they set about preparing for
its fulhllment in different ways. So much
for the Countess Morien.
Scarcely had Louise left the garden
when there appeared in it lady who if
not quite so young and beautiful as Mile
Won Schwerin, was still pretty enough
to be called one of the fairest of her
sex.
At the end of a long avenue she eau
tiously looked around and then, turning
into a tangled and neglected path, came
to a little gate in the wall.
She tapped upon 1t with a key, and an
answering knock was heard from the out
side. She unlocked and opened the gate
and let in a cavalier.
Good morning, Count Manteuffel" she
said, here we are safe. Come, be seated
and tell me why you wished this inter-
view"

After the Coronation

The royal funeral was over, the coro-
nation was over and the new era be-
gan.
The Queen dowager. with the new
title of Queen Mother, retired to a
palace in the country, the Palace OF
Monbijou, taking with her, as a maid
of honor the youthful Louise Won
Schwerin, whom she had begged from
her daughter-in-law.
And as she wanted an additional
gardener, also to Monbijou came Fritz
Wendell, recommended by the new Queen
as having been efficient at Reinsberg.
To Monbijou also went Nine Brandt
and there the Count Manteuffel sought
her
How are matters progressing?' he
asked as they walked a secluded path
in the garden.
"The King neglects his wife already
replied the Countess.
:'And what of Madame Morien?"
The King seems to have forgotten
her."
What of the marriage of Prince Au-
gustus?"
We'll, that is another matter" re-
piled the Countess rere'ssF

The Secret Passage

There was a greenhouse in the
grounds, in which were many shrubs,
arbors and grottoes. In. this Fritz
Wendell was often at work, and there
he often met Louise Won Schwerin. The
giddy girl still coqueted with him, still
played at love with the handsome gar
dener.
Fritz secretly constructed an under
ground passage leading from his little
cottage to grotto in the greenhouse.
In the grotto a trapdoor opened into
the passage, while the trapdoor was
concealed by movable tub containing
an orange tree.
This arrangement enabled Fritz and
Louise to have many stolen inter-
view with each other. Also to this
greenhouse, too, stole from time to time
Prince Augustus and Laura---to tell
each other their love in shaded
bower.
Nine Morien had disappeared from
court She was reported to be lying i'll
at the country place of her husband.
The coldness with which the new King
had treated her was alleged by the
gibing courtiers to be the reason Of
her illness. And they were not far
wrong.

Austria Seeking a Friend

They sat upon a rustic bench and the
Count began to pay compliments.
Come" said the lady, impatiently, 'let
us waste no time. What do you re-
quire? In my last letter / gave you an
account Of the state of affairs at court
and also Of the state of my finances
which are in the same state as those Of
his Royal Highness-that is, his purse is
empty and so Is mine.'
And both of you have an Empress who
is only too happy to have the honor to
supply the deficiency"
It am sorry to say that several EN-
presses have the honor to supply the
reeds of the Prince Royal" replied Nine.
Brandt.
What do you mean?"
Then Nine. Brandt told him, the agent
of Austria, that Frederick, lily supplied
with money by his father. had been re-
ceiving money for the expenses of his
court from the Empress of Russia.
Manteuffel was disturbed. He asked IL
there was no way in which Frederick
could be placed under obligations to Aus
tria, that, when he came to the throne,
he would keep Prussir auiescent-a friend
of Austria.

age, and that sort of thing he said the

MIND and a cleancut life. / fear l never
had any particular views or mission. I
have had the one humble idea to have
a story to tell, to tell it as clearly as
I could, never to be redundant or to
wander from the line, and to interest
others by trying so far as possible to
write about the things which interest

glance even. but, looking at Princa

achievement to mislead a child and Is

Indignantly. do you believe"
Il believe what 7 see," retorted the
dowager. Have done with your pro-
testations. And you, young lady, ac-
commapny me and submit to my COM

For three days after that eventfuI
night Fritz Wendell looked for a word
or sign from his beloved in vain. The
Queen Mother had Mile. Won Schwerin
locked up in her room under the
guard of "a faithful chambermaid, and
gave out that the girl had scarlet fe-
Yer and no one must go near her.
Louise withstood all menaces brave
ly. She knew that she could not clear
herself without betraying Laura.

M Declaration Yet

1T wonder" continued the girl, who
Il is that sends me the bouquet l md
on my table every day?'
some one, probably, who admires you,'
replied poor Fritz.
Then 1t must be some noble for who
else would dare to send flowers to Louise
Schwerin?"
'.Ah, yes, who would dare?" sighed the
gardener; perhaps some poor, deluded
mortal led by wild insanity to forget his
himble condition and consider himself
your equal. There have been maniacs who
imagined themselves among carth's great
est men,.
How pale you are! Why do you weep,
Fritz" said Louise. looking at him with
understanding tenderness.
She took his hand and gazed into his
eyes with most singular expression
half curious, half questioning

foot upon the grayeled walk. Once

A Queen With Mercy

At this insult Laura uttered low
cry and her cheeks Redeemed with
shame.
''Have pity, Your Majesty said Eliz-
abeth; ''see how this poor girl suffers"
Suffers? Do we not all suffer? Have
l not suffered? Is there a woman on
Gods earth whose heart is not half melt
ed away with hot and unavailing tears?'
Leave the poor girl to me for WHILE
said Elizabeth, and the angry dowager
left the room.
Elizabeth and Laura were alone. Sooth-
ingly did Elizabeth Talk with the maid
of honor until Laura said;
Pardon me, Your Majesty, do not love
the Count Voss, and therefore it follows
that do not marry him."
Elizabeth sprang from her chair as II
a serpent had stung her. She remembered
how she had married the King without,
al first, loving ilim-and how she did love
him nowl
The second thought gave her new cour-
age But Laura fell in tears at her feet.
.'As surely as God reigns,' said Laura
Il do not love the King"

Divorce Forbidden

LET us throw aside our Masks said
the Countess You serve Austria be-
cause you are paid for it. And if, IN time
of need, you were not at hand with a
well filled purse, I should cease to serve
you. What do you want?"
Il want" said the Count, that, when
Frederick comes to the throne-that is,
the Empress of Austria wants-that he
should not divorce his wife, that Princess
who was thrust upon him, and who is the
niece of the Empress. This hold upon him
must not be severed.
He is now attentive TO Nine. Morien.
She has influence over him--Mme. Morien
must be bought over. Her influence must
me exerted to prevent a separation be-
tween Frederick and his wife.
Then another tie must be formed to
bind Prussia to Austria. The Prince Au-
gustus William must marry a Princess
Of Brunswick"
'"rhat is impossible" replied Nine.
Brandt.
"why?'
Because Augustus William is already
in love- He is in love with Laura Won
Pannewitz, maid of honor TO his mother,
and is determined to make her his wife.

SURPRISED By the Queen
ne Queen" murmured Laura.

"The Queen" murm ured Laura
my monther," WHISPERED the Prince.
He looked around and, seeing the dark
grotto where Fritz and Louise were
concealed, said to Laura: quick; con-
ceal yourself there. l will remain and
await my mother" Laura slipped into
the dark grotto.
Laura, dear Laura, fear nothing"
said whispering voice from the dark
ness; I'VE are true friends--we know
your secert and desire to assist you
Laura scarcely knew what she was
doing; she felt herself grandually drawn
forward and realized that the girl at
her side was Louise Won Schwerin.
What does all this mean, Louise?"
asked Laura.
BE still and follow him. replied
Louise, pointing to Fritz.
BY his secret underground passage
Fritz conducted Laura to place of
safety. while Louise stationed herself
in the grotto in position to see and
hear all that took place in the green
house.

A Gardeners Ambitions

II was a lovely day in May-the lliacs

Also he gathered a bouquet of the most

Vonne and handsome-and he was her hrsC

greenhouse with Laura and the two
took seats in rustic arbor.

the Prince, when will the day come

Disnosinp of Laura

There is here a certain youth called
the Count Voss, who has had the good
taste to fall desperately in love with
your humble servant. He must marry
Laura.
Il have convinced him that I can see
him no more-that we must not be to-

is so infatuated that he agrees to any
thing.
Il have told him to marry Laura,
and he has asked the Queen Mother s
permission to do so. / will insinuate

But meanwhile Prince Augustus Will

many a secret and stolen interview
with Laura renewed the VOWS of their
love.

Infuriating a Queen

Then he told his story-betrayed the

when Fritz had finished.
"Yes, sire"
Sit down and write as I dictate"
1t was short, laconic fetter but
tender and impressive. Fritz Nimplored
Louise to fly with him to Orienburg

the Prince Augustus to entreat the
protection of that Prince, and through
Kim, have the chaplain perform the
