HOhenzOlIePnS Win.
Prussia Agrees to Compromise on Fam
iIy's Estates,

Rerlin,-The Hohenzollerns, headed by
ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, have won a big vic
tory in their fight with the Prusslan state
they once ruled, to recover properties
held by the state pending a decision as to
ownership.
Tired of losing suits instituted by the
Hohenz0Ilerns for recovery of rich estates
claimed as "private, mot crown, the
state regime has offered the family a
favorable compromise, which the former
ruler has accepted. The required ind0rse-
ment of the Prussian Diet is expected to
be obtained easily.
Wilhelm has been fighting the state
ever since the so. called German revolu-
ton to get possession of a number Of
castles, much land. art treasures. and in
come. At the time of the revolution, the
crCU properties were sequestered. Sub,
seQuentIy some were released as being
the 'private property" of Wilhelm,
while other property was taken from the
state by court decisions favorable to the
HohenzoIIerns. Among other decisions
was the famous verdict by which the
Crown Prince obtained possession 0 the
rich Gels estate in SiIesia, where he now
resides.
For a long time, the HohenzolIerns, in
Guiding many princes and princeSses, con-
tended that they were on the verge Of
poverty because Of the paucity of the
allowance paid constantly by The state
since the sfQueStra ion.

mood was upon him he was apt to
disregard entirely the conventional

A neighbor of the poet laureate
once asked if he might bring to Aid
worth a woman who was visiting in

Tennyson that the woman had great
admiration for the poets works and
desired very much to see him. Tenny-
son assented quite readily, telling the
neighbor to bring her to luncheon and

He was torn between apprehension
for her and speculation as to his assail-
ant. His first thought had been that
the man was Pelly. But now he be-
gan to doubt this. An old man might
have had his assailant's strength-he
would not have had the endurance.
But stronger still was the conviction
that that monstrous form which had
attacked him in the shaft could never
have been the father of Joyce.
Yet who but Pelly knew the secret
of the mine?
The problem was at present insol-
uble, but it's consideration brought
with it the fear that Joyce might have
been attacked as well. Lee quickened
his footsteps through the storm,
which was now subsiding, though the
snow still fell steadily. He blamed
himself bitterly for having left the
girl. Surely the strength of that love
and tenderness he felt toward her
would reach her, and she would
respond
And he planned what he would say
to her. He would advise her that it
was improbable that her father would
receive anything but nominal SEN
