White Lady of HOhen- ZOllernS" a Ghost Who
 Augurs HI Fortune

Among superstitious people in Ger many the present war has revived the fearsome tales of the "White Lady of the Hohenzollerns." the private ghost of the German imperial family, whose >visitations always augur impending i'll fortune. This spook of i'll omen is said to have paid her last visit to earth eighty-two years ago today, Nov. 28, 1885, and the death of the sister of King. Frederick I. of Wur- temburg immediately followed. The White Lady, of the Hohenzollerns does not confine her missions as bearer of bad tidings to the members of the imperial house, but also warns Germany's foes of impending evil. It is declared that she called on Ma poleon while he was quartered in the palace at Baireuth, shortly before he set out on his ill-fated Russian ex- petition.
 The legend of the Prussian white lady, dates back six centuries or more. The original white lady is said to have been a beautiful coun- with two children, formed an irre- gular alliance with a Hohenzollern prince. At length she appealed to him to marry her, but he replied that two people stood in the way, and made their union impossible. He re- ferred to his parents, but she misun- derstood, and thinking her children were the obstacles, murdered them This deed was so shocking to the prince that he refused henceforth to see his mistress, who died of broken heart. Thereafter the shade Of the wicked woman haunted the palaces of the Hohenzollerns, always appearing before some i'll was to befall the fam- fly, or the enemies of the family.
 Vicomte d'Arlincourt, in his "Le Pelerin," tells of a conversation he had with the Prince of Montfort, in which the latter told of the last ap- pearance of the white lady" The Vicomte quotes the prince as saying
 My mother, sister to King Fred erick I. of Wurtemburg lay i'll at Lau- same, but was not supposed to be Tn ! a serious condition. The doctors re- assured us, so we were not worried. | One night, in the ancient castle of the Duke of Wurtemburg, I was awaken | ed from sleep by a loud noise, as of f some one stirring about the room.
 The White Lady come along a gal | lery, had passed the sentinels, who
 were frozen with fear, and had knock
 ed at my door. When told my un- cle King Ferdinand, of the vi tation zerland. I started at once and reach Lausanne only to hear my mothers . last sigh. She died Nov. 2S, 1895"
