The Grand Duchess supposed that he was coming to see one of her daughters, and when she at last discovered that her paid com panion was the attraction, the culprit was Immediately dismissed in disgrace and sent to her father's home In Bohemia.

If anything wss wanting to stimulate the Archduke's passion this act of injustice- served the purpose. He followed the young woman to her father's houre. and asked her hand in marriage. There was consternation at court, as he already had been selected to succeed his uncle upon the throne, snd the Emperor, in a fatherly way. attempted to convince him of the folly or such an alliance.

When Frans Ferflnand was nut eight years old his mother died and his father gaire him into the hands of Jesuit teachers with instructions that he be brought up "untainted, by. the wickedness ot the twentieth century." Consequently the nephew of the present ruler was not educated as a future wearer of the csown.

But when the tragic beath of the Crown Prince in 1889 brought him to the steps of the throne, he began Assiduously to preparer himself for the high position which seemed des-tined to be' bis. His early youth was clouded with dissipations which to result in his undoing. In fact, an episode, the exact nature of which never has been disclosed; resulted in his banishment' from Austria only to be recalled when the sud den death of the Crown Prince again threw. the suoceesslon to the throne into dispute. Beal Heir Wag Charles The heir to the throne then was Charles Louis, brother of the Emperor and father Of Frans Feridnand.
