ton of the Servian King Alexander

in Belgrade, the capital of Servia, in
1903-one of the most spectacular and
bloody tragedies OF royalty in recent
centuries. This pair belonged to the
Obenovich dynasty, who were always

were too much prc-Austrian.

ure for the children of Stephanie were
all girls, and so disqualified for the
succession.
The wild life of Rudolph, the unfor-
tunate jealous disposition of Stephanie
and the Emperor's disappointment in
the lack of an heir, all combined to
create family discord that could not
be concealed and which subjected the
members to the most scathing gossip.
Finally after seven years it fiared up
in the most mysterious royal tragedy
of the century, the death of Rudolph
For twenty-five years the actual cir,
cumstances of this tragedy have been
the best kept secret in Europe. 1t is
known that the prince and the beauti-
full Marie Vetsera, with whom he had
long been desperately in love, were
found dead together in blood bathed
room in the hunting. lodge at Meyer
ling. The actual condition or the bod
les, and any actual facts as to the man
ner of the death of the unhappy lovers
has never been known, though on no
subject has there been more specula-
ton. 1t is said that the secret was
known but by three persons, Cardinal
Rampolla, who was the representative
of the Pope, and as such was entitled
to know the facts; the Emperor him
self and Count Hoyos, who rode in
from Meyerling to tell the stricken IA
Their the terrible news. 1t is said that
when the CHASTITY tale had been told
the Emperor sent Hoyos from his pre-
sence and refused ever to see his face
or hear his name again.
Two general versions of the tragedy
have been rife for all these years,
though there have been hundreds of
variations Oh the details One is that
Rudolph, involved in political intrigues
and violently at odds with his father
over his love affair, saw no way out
but to kill himself and take Marie Vet
sera with him. The other version has

fearing her lovers detection. On these
two foundations, between which, SO far
as the known facts are concerned,
there is little to choose, has been err
ected hundred structures of mystery
and romance, of unbridled passion. of
death-dealing devotion, of scandal and
misery and sorrow which neither pow
er nor wealth more even time has been
able to suppress.
In all its dreadful details it was a
blow such as few men in any walk of
life have ever been called upon to en-
dure, and, it is said, the Emperor of
Austria has never been the same since
it fell upon him. He has never been
able to crush the memory OF it or to
suppress surmises, though every physi-
cal evidence of the tragedy was Mt

succeeded in forbiGding Seryia to ex.
tend its boundaries westward to the
Adriatic. thus compelling that cir.
cumscribed country to trade with the
outside world through Austrian ports.
The most active and successful factor
in this move in Balkan politics was
the assass:nated Prince Francis Ferd-
inand, and his success in forbidding
Servia access to the sea was proba-
bly, the initial cause Of his death.
The young prince was killed by a
subject of his own government, not a
Servian from Seryia, but a Seryian
from Bosnia. a country taken from the
Turks by Austria in 1878 and annexed
80 years later. Even after the Aus
TRAN occupation Of 1878. the Servians
of Bosnia and Herzegovina were anx-

The constant strife between the diff

his country has always been a source
of great bitterness to Francis Joseph
and more than once, the last time nc
later than 1912, has drived him to
threats of abdication.

the assassination of the Empress Eli
