Her servants found her in tears many times, but she did not like to have them notice the fact. She longed for death, and yet the indomitable will that placed a dying man upon the throne of Germany in the face of the strongest opposition that could be brought against her in the German nation, refused to give up the struggle for life. She asserted her intention to live as long as she could, but said that when she did die none would be sorry; she least of all. But now the aged ear-empress has passed away she is sincerely mournâ€" ed by at least one Sovereign of. Europe, King Edward VII., her bro- ther. Empress Frederick was born November 21, 184.0, and her illus- trious brother is but one year young- er. In childhood they were play- mates and companions, and since those childhood days when the stronger will of the sister practical- ly ruled the brother he has never ceased to admire and respect her. He believed her to he the cleverest wo- man of royal birth of her time, and has never hesitated to say so. His visit to her, shortly after the death of their illustrious mother, was the brightest incident in her life during recent years, and one which she looked back upon with great pleas- ure. During the days the English King spent at the home of his sister they were together the. greater part of the time.
