and al once dlvined the subject on which she desired to consult me.
 Her majesty received me in her own apartments, without anyone else being present, a mark of confidence which touched me profoundly. We had not met for six years, and ! was distressed to perceive the change which had taken place iu this exalted lady. Her finely cut features bore the marks of suffering. and the exquisite gayety which had formerly distin- guished her had become overcast. Doubtless the sad fate of her rela tive, the king Of Bavaria, had done something to effect this alteration. but the chief cause. more than suspected, conduct of her son.
 Tt is needless for me to repeat to you the kind expressions which the empress was pleased to make use of on thus meeting me again. It was her first words on the subject of the crown prince which reused my alarm.
 "T have hoped. NJ. rAmbassadeur. that an old friend like yourself might be able to advise me with regard to my son. she said, and i look espe- in the secret of the past history of NJ. de Magratz.'
 Madame. I replied with fervor. the only thing that can prevent my ad vising you is the confusion with which your condescension overwhelms me-
 Her majesty heard me with a mournful smile.
 You have heard. no doubt. of the princess infatuation for this mans niece? she proceeded.
 "T have. madam. have even seen | the young girl herself, who appeared to me to be quite incapable of know ingly taking part in any treacherous | design
 "'You may be right, but unfortu- nately she Is under the control of a man who has no such scruples. To come to what was about to say, this entanglement is by far the most seri. ous of any in which my son has been involved. So serious is it that the emperor and myself live in actual dread of hearing that the prince has privately married this young woman.

By the well known family statutes of his house. his mar riage with a lady not of royal blood would be legitimate only in a social sense.

the crown prince had set out for the capital of small kingdom in the west of Europe. under stringent in structions to offer his hand to the monarch's daughter.
 ''The manner in which he did so is well known. Harshly ignoring the conventions of loye-making. he blunt ly approached this young princess in a ballroom. and. in bare words. asked her fl she would become his wife. The girl, no doubt under equally strict compulsion. gave her assent. adding profession of fidelity and submission. The crown prince instantly turned away, and that was all that ever passed between them in the nature of courtship.
 "The next day the betrothal was of ficially announced to me by the i'm perial chancellor. and the news speed fly spread through the capital. where 1t created an immense sensation. It was immediately after this that | re Magratz.
 "I had given orders that he was to be admitted; for though am. as you are aware, the least curious person in the world, my high regard for the em- press made me anxious to fathom the | intentions of this villain.
 He appeared to take his defeat with philosophy.
 "I sincerely trust this marriage may end happily he said. when I in troduCed the topic. It IS, of course. absurd to suppose that there is any attachment. at all events on the side of the crown prince Unhappily, the preference his highness has shown for my niece has turned out to be more serious than I believed. and I am afraid the poor child has allowed her | self to cherish unreasonable ideas shall make it my business to obtain a husband for her. if possible, before the prince returns
 I saw nothing to take hold Of in | this announcement. If true. it seemed that the baron was taking the most prudent course. both in the interests of the imperial dynasty and of his niece l did not yet appreciate the subtlety of his combinations. far less did I foresee the terrible end he had in view. and which you perhaps al. lready perceive?'
 I evaded this question. | Proceed. my dear ambassador. If you please" I said Your story in- tefests me greatly

 "But since such . marriage would. at the same time. have sufficient force to render any other alliance impos- sible. the consequence would be. in ef. feet, that the line of the emperor would become extinct in the next gen. eraticn. and the crown would pass to some collateral branch of the imperial house.
 Well might Magratz triumph in such a possibility. could see only one thing to advise. and even now do not see how could have taken any different view

 An, how profound is the instinct of woman, Her majesty immediate ly replied:

 The ambassador broke of short al this interesting point, and began coughing with violence. The cigarette smoke seemed to have got into his excellencys throat
