I do not mean that they do not fee this c'reatfi! war I assure you both 'f them would do anything in thefr lower to stop it.

Hut, alas! They are both absolutely pow rless. They neither of tie in love the Germans, but are hound down by them entire-! ly, and cannot act as they would wish.

Charles and Zlta's ttoub'es are much Increased, for un-der any clretnns'nnces life at the Aus'ri 'n court tilled with unto'd ffic'ilties. What It must be lik" to be fiiihtlnK the world on the sld of the Hermans, whom at the best of limes the Austrians as a nat'on do not like, It Is fearful to contempla'e. I It Is one little consolation to think that and ZIta are happily married, and can turn to ench other during these awful times. There was i a time when mv dear mother was as to their ever becoming mi" ror and empress! Phe did net then of awful Pipes nnd of the couitrv Into war because Ormany wanted war for her own avnrlelnua enlns.

Whv was my mother worried about their future? it was this wav. Purine the life of Francis Ferdinand, the late heir to the throne (as- I sas-lpa'ed at Sarajevo Serbia. In July, l'i 1 1 1 there is no doubt hti' he and his wife were determined to i ry ami secure the throne for their son. My mother knew how cnerKP'l-rnlly thev were hoth schemlrjt to nt-ain some see of succession, and she knew tha the Oman emoeror was I their fast friend nnd adviser in recent years. She cont'nn illv spoke to mv f'ther.

the Duke Parma, of fears for Charles' ultimate succession, but mv fa'her. always 'o contented and eisv-ir persuaded her to askie her oer'urt'Cd 'houchts and not bother. Pu' my mother continu-d to ponder on this matter. Oi" day she went to the Pope and confided her inlsfrlvinKs to him. The Pone, listened to my mother's strnnce tale pf fears, and he "abl rever a word til! shf bad finished, i Then he did not attaint to e-'ter In- I to any lencthy conversation on the matter: he just looked at rnv mother "Ph a look of on'et confidence on his fea'ures and sa'd.

"Have no f'ars, nrles and 7Ha will relffn over Aus- Ina-Hurikrarv." i i 1 I i It is possible that durlnif all those months before Charles was really crowned at Budapest Marie wa not entirely sure n' thlnps be-iTise there Is a law In Honitary that a marrlatre may be monran-afie it Is a marriage, nnd really the son of Francis Ferdinand the late heir, wa.s more the rlth'ful king to Mut'cary than her own son. Of course, the coronation settled matters entirely for the time betnr. It has been stated by some that the Fmtieror Charles was hwiked after and brought un a time hy his uncle. Franc's Ferdinand. TSv others 'hat there was Treat enm'tv sho'vn between 'hem.

Neither statement is true. I think 'here was very l'ttle In common between the two, hut the character of Charles Is such that there was never an-- own li'" er dfa irreement t-etween tem. His mother tnra was too care- I ful to n'low anvthlnrr of that sort. wis told to me 'hat at the funeral of the late Francis Ferdinand. which was, as evervoi-e kne.ws, a s'rnnfte and hurrld nTalr, ro Hrrantrcniens were made for the i new he'r to 'he throne to follow As i 'he funeral procession was ready to 'he vnune Archduke Charles.

It nened that one of our Kurrllsh. pro. lessors was for some time with the present emperor bfor romlnr to us We used to he rather bored with the tale we beard about him. rt wis al. wnvs, "Ah.

the Archduke Charles never apcike like that, or tie never did such a thlnn." The archduke was a real, nie-e boy, and so on. We had never met him and paid very little attention to the praises of this unknown and wonderful hid. One day this "nice, pood boy" cam" on a visit, and 1 r-inetnher we all fell in love with him, he was so jolly and spoitir.K, and altogether Karl met Xita fitst ir. r'ranxensbad In July of the year where she was staying with my aunt, the Archduchess Maria A Heinle, at that fashionable watcrli'K-place in Poll' ia.

Charles' rei-'ment was "'a'lnned. Charles Supplies Coal I know a Jolly little story which bnptiencd since Charles became emperor. In that once pay and wealthy capi-'al it came to pass that there was no coal at all to be bad.

The poor people suffered terribly, and it was practically the same all over Vienna. There was one day even no cenl in the whole of the royal pa'ace. Directly this state of things reached the ears of the young emperor he up the police himself to Inquire into the matter. He did not, as Is usual at the Austrian court, give the I order for his wishes to be attended to, which would mean that before 1 anything could possibly be done It 1 would pass tbroiiHh at least a dozen pi'oplc. So.

he stepped to the tele. phone himself, got into communication with the right authorities, and commanded them to bis presence at I once. I "There is plenty of coal In Vienna, or just outside the town, said the young emperor to the trembling official who had come in answer to diaries' summons. "Look here, in three days ccal must be found and distributed throughout the town." "Your majesty, I can explain the I reason of the luiluro to procure the 1 coal," answered the man. "The coal is there quite enough, too but wo have no means to get It Into the dilfirult parts of the town; wc have no horses; we are also short of I wagons." "Is that all!" cried the young em-, peror, with a look of relief on his lace, for the cold In Vienna la terrible, and the tales he had been hearing of the sufferings of tho poor had made him angry und miserable.

"Why that is easily arranged." Then turning aside to one of his attendants, he said, "send the head of my stables to me." In a very little while the astonished man wa.s ahown Into tho emperor's presence. "All the Imperial horses, without any distinction," ordered the voung emperor, "are to be made ready to go to the various coal depots In "and around Vienna. They are to be harnessed to whatever coal carts are to be found. If there are' not sufficient carts to get (he coal quickly delivered to all the poor people, any carts or vehicles that may help in this urgent matter are to Le taken from nil the rojal stables. Imperial Carriages As Coal Lorries I am told it was a sight which will not easily be forgotten.

Those beautiful horses attached to black and uirty cans tramping through the streets of Vienna delivering coal to the poorest and meanest houses, and more astonishing still In many cases carts and vehicles, and even elaborate cni-nagcH all from the imperial I stables, containing sacks of coals, I wend, their way unceasingly to every poor, till poor and rich alike receiVLd means of heating their coal and frozen homes. Yes, Charles Is impetuous and extraordinarily kind-hearted. One of his old tutois, by name Count Walls, a worthy man. had one great wish. He had gained good promotions by his hard and zealous work, ami his one.

desire was to become a Held-inarshul lieutenant. Ono day it happened that the Count Wally's telephone rang loudly. The messuge delivered was that someone wished to speak with his excellency Field-Mnxshal-Lieutenant Count Wallys. "What do you say," cried the astonished count, taking up the receiver. "Who Is it?" he cried sharply, thinking someone was speaking in mistake, "The emperor," was the answer given on the telepnone.

"The poor old count fell back with surprise and Joy he could guess the meaning of the emperor himself culling him by tho title he had so longed to hold. Quite recently at a big gathering Charles nnd Zita were much ad mired. "Well," asked one of our people at the end of the fete, "Wh it interested you mont?" "I will tell you," answered the man addressed without any hesitation. "The thing that arrested atten-' Hon before ever thing else was the extraordinary Joy that our two sovereigns find in each others society. There Is no mistake there.

They are In love with one another still." "My mo'hcr writes to me that the four children arc altogether delightful. They are not spoilt yet, and they have such charming manners. When little Otto, the heir to tho throne, was only a year and a half ho was out In his perambulator with the nurse, happened by the big galcway that she could not manage to turn the carriage round. Qui kly the watchman, Just near on duty, sprang forward to help her. Young as he was, the child noticed the Incident and said: "Thank you, ehar soldier man," In his baby lisp, be aming up at the tall strong man the while.

Zita will know very well how to bring up these children, I ain sure, and they will have all the same happy memories of home life that wo had If Zita can manage, It. We all loved hunting, riding and motoring. Papa always took Fome of ps In his hunting parties. Kven the brothers when thev were unite small were always Included In the parties. How they enjoyed them, selves! IJ 11 1 somehow my father always seemed especially happy when Zita accompanied him.

She was such a Joyous companion, had plenty to say, and knew when it was best to keep silence. Zita was always a bookworm. All stories kept her enthralled. Zita, with a book in her hand, was dumb to all else around her. One could shout at lu-r or tease her whilst reading; her thoughts were always well In her book.

What language did we speak together? Wl'h our parents nnd amongst ourselves French and it t-ian alternately from our very childhood. Later In our studies we learnt German, and we were obliged to con-verse in It for the sake of the hoys in their various ca-ecrs, but seme-bow German conversations were I never liked, and they never lasted I long. My father, the Duke de Parma, did not like us to talk in Gorman he never did as far back as I can remember. "Speak French or Ita'bin amongst yourselves," said my lather always to us In his dear, kind voice, "whichever you like, bill, remember you are not Germans." We have not foteotten those words of papa. My father, the Duke de Parmawas only twenty-one when he married in 1869, the Princess Maria Fin of Naples.

The marriage took place In homo. Now, a sister of my father's first wife. Mai-la Annuzlattia, married the old Kmperor's brother, Charles Louis, so you see how very much difficulty there Is In following the connections and relallonsh s. My father's slster-ln-law, Maria Annuziatia, had four children Franz Ferdinand, the Into heir to the throne; Otto, the father of the present Emperor; nnd Ferdinand and Marguerite. On September 20, 1S32, my father's first wife died, leaving nine children Ihre'e having died the eldest of whom was not 12 years of age.

She 'as Ma'de, who afterwards married King Ferdinand of Bulgaria. On October 15, 18S4, my fnther married Maria Antonia Rarranza, and there word ugaln twelve children of this marriage. There was never the slightest dif. fen-nee made between any of the twenty-one children. My mother was mamma for everyone.

Perhaps the older children she treated wi'h a little more Indulgence and the little I or.es with a little more severity. Anjhow. the whole family worship el mamma, and there was no truce i of the uely story of the stepmother withiu our happy home. Dislikes Kaiser Now I must tell you more about my brother-in-law, Charles the Kmperor. It was not a happy moment for Charles when he must meet the Emperor William, I asfure you, and ta.

l.eiiiB so French In her Ideas land manner, does nnt find favor with the or Kir. press, although I believe my sister shows iiuiiu of her own feellnas, and tries her utmost to make these metinss pass as pleasantly as it Is humanly possible. I know that Charles does not like the war; it is terrible for him to send his troops Into Uie but where hi; knows fo many of them are Roinff to certain death. In many cases with Iso little preparation for the other world. He is said to be an excellent who loves Ills men, and spaie them wherever it is possible.

My two brothers, Sexte and Xzvier. a'-e servinK in the HelRian Army. They are often in contact with, the English, whom they love and admire s.i very much. They have often been in terrible danger, but have so far been spared. On October 4.

they took part in the great advance on the l-'ianelers front. In Noverher, 191. my brothers went to see King Albert to receive permission to become stretcher-bearer. Near to Calais they met with a dread 'ful motor accident. was near 'to dath door for a while Iloth the Helgiun kir.K and ej'ieen went constant to see him, and the kin(f assured him that his wounds were Just as honorable as if he bad received them In the actual tlghting.

This pleased my brother very much indeed. Fighting Against Austria I.oth my brothers entered the army as ordinary Tommies. They are now botli officers Quite early in September and October. 19H. they spent many weeks outside Paris tendine to the wounded and helping to carry them backwards and forwards to the tents and sheds so hastily constructed in those early days.

It has been especially meritorious on their part, for naturally they were working: against Austria, as It were, and they were not to know In what manner of liitht their hrother-in-law. Charles, would look upon their strange behavior. Chnrlrs all throuph has taken the rlht spirit about It. i-ince he has been made Kmperor he has been especially nice about it. He id said ejuite drflnitely that he considers that they have been doing their duty, and have acted according-to their own desires.

He is particularly attached to these two, so that It lif good that they may all three meet as friends when this dreadful war is over. iV fej i MVJ fSSSi the XT32P 11 Never-Failing RcmeJy for Appcndicilic Inrligestion, Stomach Diionlers, AppcndiciiUatul Kiilnry Stones 3 are often rauseil lijrCiall.
