w the Palace at Baireuth soon
walk? This is the question
which now occurs to the mind of the
student of history. For this apparition,
the banshee of the house of Hohenzol-
lern is supposed to walk through the
halls of the castle of the ancient
ancestors, home of the present EN-
peror of Germany, who is also the
King of Prussia.
The family ghost of Emperor William
belonged to the royal family of Prus-
STA when they reigned under the title
of the Margraves of Brandenburg, and
has come down from father to son. 1t
is believed that the White Lady ambles
about in the night watches when there
is a death or calamity about to happen
to the Hohenzollerns, and that she thus
foretells any coming disaster.
The apparition is described as tall
feminine figure, clothed in white, with
a black veil concealing her breast and
face. Behind this veil CLOVIS the dim
outline of a beautiful but sad face,
whose expression is one of extreme
pain. The upper part of her slender
form is covered with pelisse, or outer
cloak, of dark fur.
The story told of the White Lady is
that she was the beautiful Countess
Cunigunda of Plassenburg. and in her
early youth was obliged by unkind
parents to wed the ancient count, with
whom she lived unhappi1y but few
years. The old count died. leaving his
charming widow. two children, girls,
and the estates of Arlamunde and Won
Plassenburg. which lands made the
widow one of the richest women in
that part of the country.
The countess was fond OF life and
became one of the gayest spirits in
the noble society of the day. Among
the distinguished men of her acquaint-
ance was the Burgrave of Nuremberg.
who was called albert the handsome
The German people loved him, the
young women of the nobility did the
same and much was made by all over
this ancestor of the present German
emperor.
But the Burgrave did not respond to
the affection of the countess. for his
heart was captive to the charms OF
the beautiful Beatrice of Hainault. and
to her he became engaged. The count
ess, unaware of the way his feelings
leaned, asked him to marry her. She
said she could place in his hands the
fair lands of Plassenburg as well as

and replied that he would like to
marry her were it not for two pairs
of eyes in existence.
X
This remark meant his parents. who
were much opposed to the fair count
ess, but Cunisunda understood 1t as
meaning the pair of eyes of her two
young daughters. that they stood in
the way of the fulfllment of her wish
to wed Albert.
So one night she crept into the cham

her down into her own dungeon. the
door of which he locked. She was tried
and condemned to death and her exc
cution took place in the very chamber
in which she had killed the two girls
and in the presence of the Burgrave
himself.
But before she placed her head on
the block, Cunagunda raised her arms
and swore THAT in death she would
pursue Albert's family, that whenever
any one of them were to die, she would
come as a warning and be present.

he died suddenly one night. exclaiming
that Cunigunda had come to take him
away with her.
Since then the ghost of the Countess
Cunigunda has been said to, have
haunted the castle at Baireuth and to

this little republic owes its existence
to a famous dancer of the nineteenth
century. who pitted her diplomacy
against that of Metternich. by many
writer's considered the greatest states
man and diplomat of his own any
fine. and saved the republic from dis
nemberment
- This dancer was Lola iontez, Countess
Of Landsfeld and Baroness of Rosenthal,
who. through her influence over King
Louis 1 of Bavaria and the liberal party
In Germany, prevented them joining with
Prince Metternch in his Austrian propo-
sition to destroy the republic. 1t was a
game Of diamond cut diamond, and the
wonderful magnetism, natural astuteness
and beauty of the woman won out Met
ternich. who was too late in his policy
to induce the powers to allow Austrian
troops to intervene in Switzerland, saw
the hated liberals triumph, and the re-
public was saved by the revolution of
1S4S. Lola Montez had kept Bavaria in
leash while Switzerland throttled the
sonderbund.
