Duke Ernest married the Princes Do

fifteen when she was led to the altar
and from the first she was neglected
by her husband and constantly sub
ijected to the asnubs Of the Empressa

differences, the latter being a Roman
Catholic. Duke Ernest's brother-in-

inflicted in battle, but by an enraged
woman who threw vftrioI in his face.
The girl alleged that he had promised
to make her his norganatic wife, and,
upon his refusal to live up to tla.s
promise, she revenged herself id a
manner that has left Leopold's face a
terror to beholders, while he is blind

ties except herring and halibut. the
