Has No Use for the Crown
Prince; Attempt Made to
Assassinate Kaiser.

I see IL the guards were following me.
I This would have meant loss OF time
I and as I was in . very difficult plight
! iuas much as was not more than
( 100 yards away from my pursuers.
] II was up 10 lie TO get away as
I quickly as 7 possibly could I had not
O moment to spare for 7 also knew
that within a few minutes the woods
would be besieEed by guards from
every part Of the camp.
50 far any attempt had not turned
our as well as I expected You see,
I had never anticipated being missed
so early. but 7 clenched my teeth
and went forward through the woods,
which, thankful TO say, was very
dense and very large Unlike the
unfortunate Russian, used my
brains. and instead Of taking the
shortest route 7 struck Off in another
direction, which, though IL meant n
loss Of time. nevertheless meant more
safety I traversed the wood In sort
Of circle. and all went we'll
TraiIed By BIOOdhOunds.
T knew. however that as sure as
fate the bloodhounds would by this
time be on my track, and was some
what puzzled as to what 7 should do.
AT last came 90 the edge Of the wood.
and. peering through the trees, l
made certain that all was clear before
ventured out
So far had not wasted q second; IN
fact. as yet I had not atemDted TO
nut nv gymnasium shoes on On look
ing round I was overjOyed 10 see q
canal 7 rushed for the Water. and
jumping off the bank waded chest
high uD the canal. This canal was
Godsend: Tor by taking TO the water
7 had broken Off the scent which no
doubt was at this stage being fol-
lowed by the bloodhound 7 further
knew that II crossed the canal di-
10 the conclusion that I had merely
dashed into the water and made for
the other side. 7 then found time to
regain my breath. and at the same
time 7 put my gymnasium shoes on
Up 20 this period 7 had not. owing TO
the fog, seen a soul

7 still kent on a steady speed and :
breaking away from the canal bank /
I struck a railway which ran directly
north. I was. however, Just about i
laid ont. and T felt that I was not 4
exactly strong enough 20 rise 10 the
occasion iD case was attacked or mo- 4
Tested by anyone therefore. 7 threw 7
myself on the ground in q concealed F
mart OF the railway bank and rested .
for three or four hours
AT this period I felt so determined D..
10 make good my escape that had 7 '
been surprised by either a ruard or
civilian. I would have fought him 20
the last and one or the other went
Iuder.
After reeaininE my strength. and
iiso my wind. I continued my journey
{ brisk pace Fearing. however,
hat I might be seen from the win

engine or guards van OF q mineral

rom the railway. and then W~1Eed

At length however, [ CTme within

While making @ detour from this !

'nely woods and country. 7 pushed p
