Von der Goltz was suddenly taken from Gross Lithterfcldc and put Under the charge ot a tutor in lierlin, who trained him thoroughly in French, in the most intimate history of a certain Russian noble family, and in Russian ceremonies nnd customs. Although he was mystified at the meaning of all this, his doubts were soon dispelled when.he was informed that he! wis to masquerade as'thc prince 'Whom ht re sombled, and whs to visit the home of a certain Russian nobleman, ' ; 1 The purpose of this visit was to ob tain the terms of a secret treaty, which, von der Goltz says, Russia and Great Britain were then making re garding the partitioning of Persia. The Russian nobleman' ' had those terms in his home. Arriving at the Russian house, the spurious prince was given a reception that was indeed princely. He had been instructed to pay attention to the young daughter of the nobleman, and did not find it difficult, for she was beautiful and charming. Nevertheless ho wondered as to the reason for thes$ instructions. Thia mystery also was soon solved, when his tutor, who had accompanied Doug. Fairbanks in Fellow" Arcade today.
