Born, like the mother and grandfather before her, under laws and circumstances not , recognized by - church -or .polite society atd by the same law of love and nature, herself " mother of. two children whose father la a royal prince, 'Countess Elizabeth von Wedel, alleged daughter of .a king and emperor, la Bearing: the end of her days behind iron barred windows In a -Germaa madhouse. , ' ,i Countess-.Elizabeth is said to be the natural daughter of WUhelm I, king of Prussia, crowned emperor of Germany ,at the close of the war with Prance la . 1870, and next to Frederick the' Great, , regarded perhaps as Germany's great- est monarch. By this relation she would be an aunt of the present kaiser. Only a fw years ago she. was one Of the most famous beauties in Germany. ; .Volumes of .romance, and not fiction at that, might be written around this tragld figure. , " . In November, 1782, Prince Frederick William, who after the death of Fred- . erick the Great became king of Prussia, stopped late one stormy .night ,' at a ' Mecklenburg castle. The : mistress of the castle, clad only in her nightrobes and holding a lamp in one band, came down the stairs to see whom the ser ve ts had given shelter for the night in the big dining hall. The prince la said to have fallen madly in love with the beautiful .vision and, with ' the 7 tradl- i tlonal privileges of "royalty. : Is. said to ' have paid no attention to the young woman's entreaties to be treated with , the respect due her. , , r ' ' Less than a year later, a crying wo ' man had audience with the prince in Potsdam and demanded a name for the Infant she was carrying in her arms. : Toa were carrying a lamp when I first saw jrou, we will I call him . William Lamps," replied the lighthearted prince, ; as the. story goes. 'J: - :. :-, .? whs momanee of WUUam luape. ' . When grown - to manhood William Jampe, while serving as a soldier in Potsdam, fell In love with Sophia Char lotte da ' Berard. daughter of a inoble Trench emigrant famlly.v:Mi :;;f .-4 h The widowed mother opposed the mar riage 'to the illegitimate offspring of Prince William, now klng.-But love then . as now, laughs at convention, locksmiths and church. . William Lamps became father to a girl who from childhood was famous for her remarkable beauty. She had the good or ill luck to attract the attention of another Prince .William, lat . er flrat emperor of Germany, . , To this girl a daughter was born. It Is alleged, as a result of relations with the tutors emperor, - She was named y Kllsabeth Berard. and today is the Countess Elizabeth von Wedel. Elisa beth Berard inherited the beauty of her mother. Money was. forthcoming for her education. , She was a . spoiled and Belt-willed youngster. ' Oh"ce -when she was dressed with great care to see her alleged father. the king, for the first time., she ran out and with her white ttretia? Mat down land wallowed in a mud fuddle because she did not want to see him. When told of her behavior, the ; king, so the countess relates In her memoirs,-never sent for her again. -.When grown to young womanhood, Elisabeth Berard, beauUful as a dream, met Prince Frederick of Hohenaollern, of the Slegmarlngen branch of the nous, into which King Manuel of Por tugal :, has married, r Prince Frederick fell madly In love with the girl, but he could not get consent to marry , one hot even ' legitimate of birth, not to mention that she ' was not royal.' even though , daughter of the king. It was the-old, -old story. They lived togeth er, 1 regardless of law, church or so ciety. , Two children were born to Elis abeth. Berard and Prince Frederick; ' . Confidante of Preseat Xalser. ' After breaking with the 'prince she . married ; Count . von WedeL younger brother of the man who later became governor, of Alsace-Lorraine. They were divorced. 8he met the then Crown Prince wiineim, now kaiser, and is; said to have so impressed him that- she be came his 1 confidential secret political agent and. was intrusted with secret missions, to : many pourtSr From that day her troubles began. According to her book, intrigues were set on foot to undermine her,, with the young kaiser which read like fiction. --- vr ' While on a mission to Vienna,' Arch' duke Kart 8a I vat or became Interred In her.; 'According to ' her book, hj pro- "Now you see' tor yourself what the" AGED COUPLE SEEKS irienasiiip , vx me ,.coun or Berlin amounts to.

'' ' '' 4; The countess was aranted a censlon for a time, and according to her book, she received numerous sutograph letters from the present kaiser and -was often consulted by him. The Intrigue result ed, she alleged, in a relentless persecu tion; the kaiser was persuaded to droo her as a government agent, to cut off her income, and-a man still connected with the foreign office was Intrusted with the delicate mission of obtaining from her the letters written by the kaiser and documents relating to her birth.- The letters, says the countess, she gave up upon condition of certain promises made by the emissary of the government as-to her future.' Once the letters and other documents were - no longer In her possession, no attempt was made to keep, the , promises made, she was subjected to surveillance and per secution, 1 so , she went to switserland. There she embodied her experiences in a book,- "My RelaUons to. WUhelm II," which created a sensation, .
