The Lonely King

To have seen the King standing at one Of
his palace windows in Munich, as | had, was
something to boast of then, for he scarcely
ever showed himself now to the people Of his
capital. Near his retreats in the Alps, so it
was rumored, he talked freely in Bavarian
dialect with woodchoppers, herdsmen, hunters
OF even poachers, whom he encountered on
his lonely climbs up the mountains.
Count Holnstein, the royal equerry, told
my sister that some times the King, after
solitary weeks spent at one or other OF his
castles, would have a pair of horses saddled
for himself and his ~favorite groom, Hessel-
schwerdt, who came equipped with well-hlled
saddle-bags, to ride with the King for days on
stretch. Some times they rode even beyond
the Alpine frontiers Of his Kingdom. Then
not even his aide-de-camp, Count Durckheim,
or his prime-minister, Baron Won Lutz, would
have an mixing Of the Kings whereabouts.
Important decisions depending on his APP
proval or state documents that required the
royal signature at such times had to wait
until the King, travel-stained and weary,
might turn up at one of his remote haunts in

GLIMPSES OF SOME CONTEMPORARIES

cap, who reclined at ease under a rich robe
of fieecy white fur.
Erwin recognizing the inmate of the sleigh,
quickly drew me off the road, saying "The
King!"
Respectfully we both drew off our caps, as
the sleigh swept past us. The King answered
our salute with a gracious nod.
Seeing him so close at hand noted under
his rosy cheeks a pair of dropping black
moustaches and on his chin a pointed tuft
of black beard. When | voiced my surprise
at this unwonted change in the Kings
countenance, Erwin said: "My stepfather
told us more than a year ago that the King
was growing moustaches and a beard. Until
they grew out in full he would not let anyone
see him face to face except his barber and
his valet. Whenever my stepfather had to
approach him, the King remained behind a
screen, around which state papers under
royal consideration passed between them.
A considerable time went by before the King
allowed his ministers and aide-de-camp to
see his face again. My stepfather said the
black whiskers changed the Kings features
from those of a youth to a full grown mans,
making him look more naughty and severe
than hitherto"
The King showed himself most naughty to
his councillors, so Erwin said, when he called
for ever more funds from the royal ex-
chequer, wherewith to pay the mounting
costs of the erection Of several new royal
castles.
Very expensive, too, we're the private per
formances of operas and historical dramas
commanded to be played at the royal thea
tres in the Kings sole presence, no other
spectator being permitted except the pro-
fessionals behind the scenes and in the or
chestra. Thus he had the famous actors
Ernst Possart and Joseph Kainz play in
S%hakespearean history plays like Richard
II" and "Henry v" or Schiller's "Maid of
Orleans and 'Marie Stuart, as well as
Victor Hugo's "Marion Delormes'', yea he
had even summoned the French actress Sarah
Bernhard and her company to play to him
alone in Racine's "Phedre".
It was tn. embarrassing question Of funds,
SO Erwin knew, that had brought the King to
Munich lately, and now he evidently was re-
turning to one of his distant castles, having
prevailed OH the Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer to provide more money. In the opinion
Of Primeminister Lutz, so his stepson con
ided to me, Ludwig was dragging his king
dom to financial ruin.

When cot home from school and told the
family about it, repeating what had been said
about lese majesty and that it was held to
be to a students prank, my elder brother
Alfred turned pale and seemed Ill at ease.
After dinner he followed Father into his
study.
Presently Mother was helping Alfred pack
his trunk and handbag. We we're told that
he was going on a trip abroad. When the
time came for his leaving, Mother wept. fa-
Their, looking i'll pleased, went with HIM IN a
cab to the railway station. We younger emil
dren and the two maids were cautioned to
saw nothing to ANYBODY about Alfred's trip.
After Alfred had been gone a few days a
nostcard arrived from Heidelberg, on which
he had written to Mother that he was bound
for Holland. Father got so excited over that
postcard that he took the next tram to Heldel-
berg. He returned on the following day,
seeming more easy at mind, though he warned
MS again not to talk to others about our broth
er' s whereabouts.
After some time, before Alfred's return
from Holland, it leaked out within our lam
ilv circle that he and some of his fellow stu
dents at the University were involved N that
act Of Iese majesty to the old Kings statue.
Indeed Alfred had been the ringleader, who
disfgured the face of the statue. He was
helped to climb up there by his cromes, who
passed no to him the paint pot and brush
after he had been boosted upon the bronze
lsteed's back. While he was busy with his
daubing. his companions kept watch below,
lest the ~sentries standing guard at the palace
portal should "smell a rat and give the
alarm.
One of Alfred's fellow students, who was
implicated in the deed, was a nephew OF
Police President Won Pechmann in Munich.
Without suspecting his nephew's guilt, Baron
IPechmann told him casually that the King
had given orders that no pains be spared to
find the culprits. The police in their zeal
actually discovered the shop where the red
lraint and brush had been bought, and learned
that the purchaser had been a university
student. who spoke German with a foreign
accent. So Alfred fled from Munich. "Ihe
wicked flee where no man pursueth.
Alfred aggravated his exploit by writing a
Latin poem about it into a hotel register at
Heidelberg and then boasting Of this in his
postcard to Mother. That was why Father
he had to follow Alfred to Heidelberg,
where he tore the wtell-tale page from the hotel
register.
When Alfred came home at last, the furry
over his prank had died down. Nothing came
of the police presidents investigation OF the
misdeed. His nephew, who was about to pass
b civil service examination, breathed more
easy. Had he been implicated in a "MaJe-
statbeleidigung' his career in Germany
would have been ruined.

summer and vacation from school. Our
Father having gone to America with my
brothers, Mother took my elder sister and
me to Prien, a village i'll the mountains on
the west bank of the Chiemsee, along which
the little railroad that brought us ran on to-
ward Austria. AS the biggest lake in the
kingdom it grandiloquently was called ''the
Bavarian Sea-.
We lived at Stock with a fisher and boat
man, who in summer time had charge of the
royal fisheries and boats on Herrenw0rth, the
largest island in the lake, where in olden
times there had been a monastery and bishops
see.
Now the King had built a magnificent
palace there, said to rival that of Louis XIV
at Versailles. 1t was called Linderhof. From
the heights of Prien we could see shimmering
across the blue waters Of the lake the white
walls Of the new palace. Through a spy glass
we could even catch glimpses of its royal
standard with the Lion Rampant Of Wittels-
bach flying over the gable of the palace when
King Ludwig was there.
The King might not stay long on Herren-
worth, so the fishers wife told us. He was
there now to see some new ~statuary erected on
the palace grounds, that had been made for
Linderhof by several sculptors to have cast
in bronze. After this we're done and the King
should have left the island to go to another
Of his castles, her husband, too, would be free
to come home to Prien. Then he might row
or sail us over to the Herreninsel to view
Linderhof in the Kings absence.
A few days later a freight train from
Munich stopped at Prien. From it's cars a
number of workmen unloaded heavy groups
Of statuary. AS their tarpaulin covers and
the crates encasing them were shifted we could
see that the cleaning figures represented ale
gories from ancient Greek mythology-gods
and goddesses, nymphs, satyrs, tritons and
the like.
With great care one group after another
was got off the cars and station platform
and was moved by means Of rollers down to
Stocks steamboat pier, there to be loaded
on separate barges for removal across the
lake to Herrenworth. 1t took several days to
get through, all the work being watched by
the villagers as well as by my sister and
me with keen interest.
After the last of the barges had been towed
across the lake, we settled down again to our
