 No I answered But I will do so now. I am taking you to Brookville, Pa

The weather was very warm and when we arrived at St Louis. he was very feverish and complained of being sick. He was afraid that he was taking typhoid fever and insisted on returning to Pennsylvanla immediate ly which he did"
 Why, he wasn't sick at all--he was just afraid of me-" answered Watts. He was afraid to meet me. for he knew If I saw him I would kill him. I stood off the sheriff and IT of his mon, all armed, in Brookville once Those fellows are all afraid of me. So you came down here to get me your self? Well. you haven't any papers for my arrest have you?"
 ''No, I have nothing but you" I an swered.
 Suppose l object to going any further with you?"
 Tn that case I would simply have to have you locked up and wait till the papers arrived. They are all made out, therefore you can raise all the objee- tions you like am a deputy sheriff. and I could have you locked up In Illinois, but I did not know what that red headed fellow and your other associates in Shaw neetown would do, and. not wanting to be bothered with them, l decided just to bring you right along"
 That fellow with the red hair is n coward, said Waite. "If ever I get my eyes on him I'll kill him sight, Did you notice when you told me to throw up my hands that I hesitated for a second? Well, l was thinking of just jumping forward and taking that gun away from you.'

 Why, I never was In Vermilion in my life" Watts answered. You have made a big mistake"
 "1 guess I'm not very much mistak- en-, I answered. Some of our citizens sa wthe burglars when they left the bank, and have identified you accu- rately. Of course, if they fail to iden- tify you on your arrival at Versailles ] will apologize to you and pay your expenses back to Shawneetown."

rince Wilhelm von Wied The head ot the dynasty who died in 1907 was noted politician who became president of Prus- sia's House of Lords. His sister is queen Elizabeth of Roumania, and his second son is the Prince Wilhelm who is now Albanias King.
 Of Prince Wilhelm's character and at tainments, the fairest notion is given by saying that he Is thorough Wied. He is an active man and a soldier, with q trend toward scholarship, and sound knowledge of the principles of politics gained from systematic study He Is at d good age to be King of country where first of all things is needed cau- tion. Prince Wilhelm was born in 1S7G His birthplace was Neuwiad, the capital of the former Wied state. Neuwied is ono of the most interesting of minor Rhine towns. The Wieds have there q fine cas- tie with a museum of Roman antiquities and near the town Is the Chateau of Se- genhaus, their residence in summer
 From a religious standpoint Neuwied Is Germany's most frutrlIl town. Ii was founded by tolerant seventeenth cen tury Count of Weld to give shelter to religions of all and any kind; and it Is still the headquarters of Baptists. Her lenhuters. German Ca tholics and bout IS many religions as is the Welsh town of Iiolyhead, which, according to legend has F churches and chapels of different shades of faith in a single street. Prince Wilhelm was educated at Neuwied. in an intermediate school which is attended by sons of the burghers. Neuwied is known throughout west Germany for it's excellent educational institutions, and the gymnasium where the prince went to school has turned out some famous men. From Neuwied the prince went to Jena, where he studied political science and got his degree of Ph. D.. and from Jena. in 1896. he went to B.rlin. and entered the army of Prussia
 Prince Wilhelms first work a sol dier was at Berlin on the great general staff. There he stayed several years. He was next given the rank of captain in the regiment of Uhans of the Guard. stationed at Potsdam. The prince Is a good soldiers. with q liking for tactical studies, tempered by affection for bill lizards. which he plays uncommonly well. He is also expert with revolver and rifle, and has what Prusslans call a. "Rhinelander's eye" These talents will render service in Albania, where clear seeing and straight shooting are among
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-15

Wilhelm Frederick Henry, @S Prince of Wied, and sovereign 881U of Albania, has set out for his uis-i,o.allions kingdom, and Europes cyn- ics and wisacres are promising themselves a feast-of news, that is, and of events. For of all the troublesome corners of the troublesome Balkans, Albania, they know, is the most troublesome, and Wilhelm Frederick Henry, they believe, will not sit in the saddle long. The cynist and wise acres are wrong. First, because they are always wrong about the Balkans. As each Balkan kingdom in turn liberated it. self from Turkish yoke, they predicted confidently that no mar. mueh less civilized European would sit in the sad dle for long. Only barbarous Balkan ese could rule the Balkans. These pre- dictions were false. The adventurous princelete of Europe who at various . stages of the nineteenth century set out for their barbarous kingdoms amid de- fision from cynics and wisacres have all done uncommonly well. The one hearth Of perpetual instability has, strangely enough been disputatious Servia, which tried to get along with a dynasty of it's own.
 And this condition explains itself. The remoteness, the mystery. the culture, wealth and family connections of Flu ropes princelets imposed on the shaggy  |, no local feudal chief could do. And the result is that all the rrincelets sit safe in their saddles, after riding over some pretty rough country, such as Greece's g dynasty traversed during the 1909 muti- nies. and Bulgaria's after the failure in the allies war. Brains, education diplo- macy made their way. And it is not bad omen for the new King of Albania that it is Princess Pauline Elizabeth of Wied who as Queen of Pourrania sits on the throne of the most powerful Balkan state.
 The mediatized dynasty of Wied is no ordinary race. That is the pledge of its Booming success in kingshp. It was said ( by Germany's rough-tongued historian. I Treitsechlle. that all the German media tized families lost their thrones because they were no good; and that they mad been no good ever since. This, if ap- piled to the mediatized Wieds. is cal t.mny. Both sovereign rulers in the old Holy Roman Empire. and as non sovereign princes since. the family pros duced more than it's share of capable, aspiring men, of whom Germany is proud. The Wieds are one of the more impor- tant of the families which lost their sov-

this outrage"
 Well see about this" l replied. T cant be mistaken. I have been a deputy sheriff for the past two years and I have arrested two house thieves and they were convicted, so l can not be mistaken"
 Well, you are very badly mistaken now answered Watts, and with this he stopped talking and seemed to be at his ease, as he knew that he could not be identified at Vermiion and felt sure that he would be released
 In due time we arrived at East St Louis when l explained that l did not care to proceed to Vermilion that night as I had some business to attend to- and therefore l proposed that we stay over night In the city and take the first train out to Vermilion in the morning. Watts appeared perfectly satisfied. Accordingly I brought him across the river and took him to the Four Courts, turning him over to Major

Prince Max published many books on his travels and on his natural historical observa- tions. His nephew was the philosopher

this way Wied and its prince became Prussian; and all that remained of the sovereignty were the "equal birth right, the freedom from local taxation, and the right to refuse army service, which the Wieds have naturally never tried to en- force
 The Wieds lost their sovereignty be- cause of international exigencies, and not through any fault of their own. Despite Treitschke they were a virile, intellect ual and adventurous race. There was a legendary Hermann von Wied who was expected to rescue disunited Germany from foreign thraldom. His destiny, tra- dition said, was to awake from secular sleep the Hohenstaufen Kaiser Barba- rossa, who. according to another legend lies awaiting the destined day of glory in a cave under the Kyfrhauser hills Other Wied heroes are not legendary.
