Further Investigations Made.
Wilhelm was at first intensely an
noyed at his Wi1e's success in casting
doubts upon the beautiful young frau
who had so charmed him. He was
even yet inclined TO pooh pooh and
dismiss the whole matter. But the
kaiserin found a strong supporter IN
Won Tedel, who was seriously

should not be neglected.

The shock to the Essentials, when

had been wholly duped. and had now
lost his lovely bride. But his humil-
