FRAULEIN KRUPP.

THE GIRL WHO RUNS A GREAT GUN

FACTORY,

Fraulein Bertha Krupp, the 19-year old girl, who for two years has been the real head and nwner of the famous Krupp-Ironworks, has, says an exchange, astonished all Germany with her executive skill. Still in her teens, Fraulein Krupp is one of the foremost living authorities oa great guns and battleships, and incidentally, on all the arts and practices and deadly tools of war.

The hideous stories that galbeied, round the closing yours of her father's life and brought on his obscurity, subconsciously to his daughter's mind, poisoning her days, sucking the youth out of her heart.

To one great task she is anid to have vowed her life, to the rehabilitation of the name of Krupp, sailed hideously by the evil reputation borne, truly or untruly by Krapp II. She has resolved to obliterate at all cost, by all means, the memory of the loathsome story, and to make the dishonoured name a synonym for all that is noblest, most generous, most loved. "She goes through life," as was said of a greater person, "bent on a secret mission," and only the long passage of years, bringing ubout the accomplishment of her dream, can restore to her any semblance of natural happiness.

If a great State, in such need as great States sometimes are, comes begging, cap in hand, for war material at fabulous prices, cash on delivery, Fraulein Beriha can refuse and the great State is crippled.
