Painfully and evidently with horror he had told the story of his lilo in disjointed fragments. Away back as far as he could remember he had been placed in a small room, having one window and containing only a couch. Them was no room for him to move. and so. for years, he had remained in a half-reclining position. Water and bread had been his only food dqrirtpll those years. from neglect and trom the tact that he had now-:- learned to perturm um simplest duties for himself. He. was as helpless as n. new-horn babe. He ate with his hands, neglncted to wash and was terribly slovenly in all ways. His legs and feet were badly swollen. and in gennrnl h" seede a wreck.

The mystery of Baden is so remarkable that at one time all Europe was involved 1n the pros and cons of the case. It was durmg one ot llhl many king-making moods that Napoleon transformed the Mal-grave Charles Louis of Baden into a Grand Duke. Incidentally it may he mentioned that Charles had bean married some time before to Stephanie Tacoher de la Pagerle, niece of the Empress Josephine and adopted daughter ot thy Emperor. - ..

So intense did this feeling he- me that the aristocracy and mem- bers ot Charles' family formed a eu- bat with the avowed purpose of Changing the order ot succ‘euion. In the meantime the conspirators kept a close wutch upon the child, and one day, during the temporary and as yet unexplained absence of the nurse. the really healthy baby ot Stephanie was abducted and a. dying infant substituted. _ The success: at the plot was nolsed about and t5tUW3 to the cars of the Grand Duclm. but before a. full 111- vestigatton mum be made the Grand Duke died and the court was thrown into confusion.
