Count Won Leufenberg in Berlin!
What did it mean7 He was sbsurdly

turn at any moment and find the
crown prince alone in the countess
drawing room. II so, the situation
might certainly be q most unpleasant

Hardly had the thought crossed my
mind when I heard the Count enter,
his spurs 'clinking and his saber rat

l crept forth, listening breathless-

A few seconds later 1 heard the
Counts voice raised in anger and

sprang up the stairs and dashing

and rigid as a statue. while the 1.-TWO

Won Leutenberg's countenance was
distorted with rage as he abused the
crown prince. and openly charged
him with having brought about his
exile to London. y.
His highness made no reply, but
only smiled sarcastically and shrug-
ged his narrow shoulders.
So enraged the other became at
this latter gesture that, with sud
den movement, he drew. his sword.
The countess shrieked and swooned
as sprang forward and stayed her
hand.
1t was a dramatic moment. The
count instantly realized the enormity
of his crime, and his hand dropped,
Enough" cried the crown prince,
waving his adversary aside. Then.
turning TO me, he said in a calm,
hard voice:
"Heltzendorff. you, are witness that
this man has drawn his sword upon
the heir to the throne"
And with those naughty words he
