Step hy step they traced her course in life, from the cottage of the peasant woman, king dead and almost forgotten, to the orphanage and through successive pliasea of ber career as a domestic drudge to the home on the banks of the Rhine, where she had found happiness. On a fine summer morning n few weeks ago the mother and the lawyers appeared at the Schmidt house and announced to the astonished lady and gentleman that their servant Mary Meyer waa the heiress to two considerable fortunes. After the romantic story had been made clear to them, Mary Meyer was summoned and informed that her long-los- t mother waa .there in person. The meeting waa not marked hy any great cordiality.

At the same time, however, it is impossible to adequately condemn the extravagant, agitation which has preceded the disturbances and which haa undoubtedly Invested them with their passionate unlawful character. Dr. von Koertier telegraphed to the Burgomaster of Innsbruck as follows: "I deeply deplore not only the victims bnt also the excesses of which your town, ordinarily so peaceful, has become the scene.
