The Bird Millman troupe went abroad
in the Summer of 1914. 1t was touring
Germany when Europe plunged head first
into war In the mad scramble of tourists
to get out of Germany-trans choked,
each station a fighting mob, troops pouring
to the front over every road and track, red
tape frightened, steamship sailings can

Fern Andrews became separated from the
rest of the troupe. Bird Millman returned
to America uncertain whether the girl was
alive or dead.
But Fern was alive. She was very much
alive. The lines were too closely drawn

Fern Andrews, conhded in her, and she

from her American home by five thousand
miles of blazing land and smoking sea, her
sweetheart slam, her heart broken, her
hfain throbbing TO but one thought-the
desire to live!-pretty Fern Andrews, blue
eyed daughter of an Illinois farmer, cheated
the firing squad by cage wedding to
Hohenzollern baroni
This most amazing romance of the World
War has been an international secret. Not
a dozen people knew that Fern Andrea,
movie star; Baroness Won WEIGHS, divorced
wife of Prussian nobleman, and little
Fern Andrews, of Watseka, H., were all
three one and the same until recent cables
from Berlin carried the rumor of the death
OF Fern Andrea in an airpane accident
The report was later denied, but the cir
cumstance established her identity.
Then Bird Millman, the beautiful tight.
wire walker OF circus and theatre fame,
who was Fern Andrews chum and patron
for years, though scouting rumors of her
death, consented TO reveal the story of her
protegee's remarkable wedding. 1t is told
on this page for the first time.
Fern Andrews was feeding chickens,
milking cows, riding ponies and doing the
giant swing" in the barn on her fathers
farm in Illinois until, few years before
the war, the circus came to town. She
went 10 Watseka in a wagon with the rest
of the folks to see 1.-The grandest show on
earth" Fern, being a tomboy, liked the
acrobats best.
Especially did she admire Miss Bird

He was Jean of the flaming brown eyes
and the hot French heart. And Fern had
no condolences that were not Jeans also
Jean himself had but one love and one
llegiance-France.
1t was desperate game this blueeyed
daughter of an Illinois farmer, this supple
little American acrobat, played in the late
Summer of 1914-there on the Belgian Dor
der within earshot of the thunder of guns,
among swarming hordes of gray, in little
towns where no man trusted his neighbor
and every bush and wall might shelter an
enemy
1t was a desperate game-with a Ger
man baron who loved her on one end Of
the see-saw and the Frenchman she loved
on the other-and it was a game that had
to end in tragedy 1t came with crash.
The police surprised Jean, red-handed, with

not the power to stay her sentence. There
was but one chance-if she would marry
him, if she would become ile wife of a
blood relative of Kaiser Wilhelm, not even
Prussian militarism might touch her And
he, the Baron--a noble and a gentleman
he would agree that the marriage should
be no more than marriage of form. He

a minister standing in the graveled walk,
Fern Andrews, of Watseka, Illinois, be-

The marriage was announced to the
Kaiser. 1t was the "All Highest" himself

The Wholesale arrests carried out by
the German police in the first days Of
the war had filled the jails. There
was 10 room left. There was no pro-

As a makeshift, Fern Andrews was taken
to the Thiergarten, Berlin's great amusa

been emptied of animals. Fern Andrews
was led to the lions cage, and there where
the king Of beasts had paced and dreamed
of jungle kills, the little American girl
crouched through the days and nights pre-

A guard patrolled the cage. People came
