Such, for example, la the mysterious "Female "Fe-male Stranger" burled beneath the nameless tomb in the cemetery In Alexandria, Al-exandria, Va. ; the woman who occu-: pies the grave marked only with the number "88" in the burying, ground at i Matteawan and the strange unaccountable unaccount-able creature who Is known to English Eng-lish history ln general and ln the annals an-nals of the town of Bristol In particular par-ticular as "The Lady of the Haystack." Hay-stack." It was In 1776 that tills beautiful young girl, endowed with all the charm and grace which would have enabled her to be successful ln any circle, stopped at Bourton, a village near Bristol, and asked to be given some bread and milk. After receiving this, she wandered for a while around the neighborhood and then took up her abode In the center of a large haystack on one of the farms where she remained for several days, accepting accept-ing only food from the farm folks. After a short time, believing that she was an escaped Inmate of some nearby Insane asylum, the countryfolk country-folk had her transferred to St. Peter's hospital, ln Bristol, but the authorities authori-ties there declared that the stranger was entirely sane, In spite of the fact that she refused flatly to give any ac count of herself or to allow even the slightest clew as to her past to escape es-cape her, Accordingly, she was released re-leased and, the Instant the doors closed behind her, she returned to the haystack near Bristol, where she resumed re-sumed her abode, living there during the four years that followed her release re-lease from the asylum. While the food and clothing of the "Lady of the Haystack," as she became be-came known, were supplied through the kindness of charitable neighbors, the stranger always refused to accept any luxuries of any kind, either leaving leav-ing the food untouched or hanging the clothing on nearby bushes, as if to intimate that she wished only the bare necessities of life. It is related re-lated that she would talk unreservedly unreserved-ly to the children of the neighborhood, telling them stories and giving them presents that she had received, but that she would never exchange words with any of the adults. The children, however, declared that she spoke English Eng-lish with, a decidedly foreign accent and upon one occasion, when addressed ad-dressed in German, she burst into tears and retired to the. seclusion of her strange home, from which she did not emerge for several days afterwards. after-wards. After four years exposure to the elements, without the shelter of ' a roof, the "Lady of the Haystack" was again removed to &n insane asylum, asy-lum, this time in Britton, a village of Gloucestershire, where she was well cared for through popular subscription subscrip-tion taken up among the people of Bristol Even here, however, she Insisted In-sisted upon only one thing that she be permitted to make her bed upon a pile of straw, placed as close to the window as possible a favor which was granted her both at Britton and at the hospital at Southwark where she was removed shortly before her death in 1801. It was hoped that the widespread publicity which followed the death of tills strange personage would have the effect of bringing forward some one who could throw some light upon the mystery of her past, but It was not uhtil 1810, nine years after her death, that an anonymous French writer came forward with what purported pur-ported to be a solution of the affair. According to his statements, the king of Spain had received a letter, supposedly sup-posedly from Emperor Joseph II of Austria, asking him to care for a young woman whose presence ln Austria Aus-tria was causing great distress to the dowager empress because of the fact that she was the natural daughter of his late father, Francis I. When the king of Spain wrote for further particulars, par-ticulars, he was amazed to learn that the Austrian emperor had written no such letter and that the document was a very clever forgery, later traced to a mysterious young woman known as Mile. La Frulen. Upon her arrest, this strange personage per-sonage told a queer but well substantiated sub-stantiated story of her royal parentage parent-age and of her having been placed in charge of the Austrian ambassador to France, through whom she received regular remittances. About the time of the death of the Emperor Francis I, these remittances ceased and she was thrown upon her own resources. With a warning as to her future conduct. con-duct. Mile. La Frulen was released by the French authorities and told never to set foot In France again, the Inference being drawn by the writer of the pamphlet that she and tfce "Lady of the Haystack" were one and the same. Whether they were or not will probably prob-ably never be revealed, for the strange case of the woman who lived in the haystack near Bristol and the fate of the natural dajighter of the Austrian Aus-trian emperor, whose birth Is well authenticated, are both shrouded In a veil so impenetrable that even the passage of more "than century has failed to tear It aside. by the Wheeler Syndic HEADACHE?
