Seated on the side porch, he leaned back and smoked in gloomy silence. It was strange how inno cent country people could be —how easily deceived by the wiles of wom en and the lies of men. Yet his father was clever enough in some ways, Clifford reflected. He had certainly worked out a clear plan of action so far as the pur chase of the farm was concerned. The owner. Douglas Wade, could know nothing of what was passing in the older man's mind. And so wise was Amos Chapin that he was tolerant of certain ideas of Wade's that, at another time, would have tempted him to rebellion. There, for instance, was John Butler. Douglas Wade had sent this scientific farmer out here, as Amos suspected, to spy on him and to see just how matters were progressing. Amos was able to treat liim with ordinary civility because it was to his interest to do so. Clifford could understand that. Yet—what about Lizzie Moore —so- called? Of course she was not Lizzie Moore. He had suspected that soon after his arrival here. He might not have suspected it had his moth er not told him with such circum stantiality how her cousin's daugh ter happened to be staying with her. and what a nice girl she was. He had wondered at the time why his parent had taken so much trouble to go into details and why she had been so anxious to have him under stand the situation. Yes. he had always fancied there was something strange about it all. As he had not known what it was, he had determined to find out. He remembered that his mother's cousin had several daughters. This girl's brusque declaration that she had no sister had been the last bit of evidence that he had needed to that she was not a relative but was acting a part. Why was she doing this? He was certain that he had the answer to this question in the letter that she had received this morning. It was written by a man. The hand writing indicated that. So did her keen interest in its contents. He Has a Doubt Clifford had not noted the sender's address on the letter until he had picked It up from the steps where the girl had dropped it. Then, in the light of the revelation she had made to him an hour earlier he had ■ WIT HIM DOWN AND DDI Stomach Rebelled Against Neg lect and Indigestion Made His Life Miserable "I fooled with my health trying to work day and night and I couldn't get away with it," says J.

He had heard his father say that Douglas Wade lived in Wyoming. Then this girl was He broke off his reflections ab ruptly, confronted by the question—■ Why did his parents have her here'.' One thing was clear to his sophis ticated mind. They believed the girl to be good and pure—just what she appeared to be. He himself would have believed the same of her but for circumstantial evidence. He had thought this of her until the re ceipt of that letter this morning. Then the thought had come to him that some man had sent her here and with a purpose. That man must be Douglas Wade. His only purpose must be to give the girl a quiet, secluded home in the country, where she could rest and be safe during the summer un til he could join her for his vaca tion. Clifford's parents could not sus pect this. It was doubtful if John Butler knew it. It was also plain that Douglas Wade thought But ler's attentions so negligible that they would make no impression up on this pretty girl. Clifford Chapin was acutely un comfortable. He did not know whether his conscience or curiosity determined him to learn what in ducements had been offered his fa ther to persuade him to become party to Wade's scheme. Of course what his father suggested, his moth er would agree to. His Father Cornered Clifford looked about him. It was noontime—the hour that Amos Chapin was in the habit of taking a short rest in the house. Even now he was coming up the long path from the barns across the road. His son hastened down the walk to meet him. He would surprise his parent be fore he had time to think out an ! evasive reply to his questions. "Well. Cliff." the farmer greeted his son. as he reached his side. "Pal" the exclamation was so sud i den that the elderly man started vio lently. "That girl upstairs is not my j cousin! ' I know that!" "Well. well, and what of it?" the farmer stammered. "Why do you have her here?" ! the son demanded. "Why shouldn't we have her here?" the farmer blustered. He was on his guard now. "She's a nice girl all right, and no trouble and a help to your mother. Now you just keep your mouth shut about her—understand. Cliff!" "Why do you have her here " i Clifford repeated. "Because." the farmer stopped short and laid his hand on his son's arm, "Wade wants her here. And 1 just now it's my plan to keep on the rieht side of Wade till I'm done with him." "Do you know who the girl is?" Clifford questioned. "Of course I do. you fool! Tou can keen a secret, so I'll tell you. She's Wade's sister. Why, what ails you?" For Clifford Chapin had burst into j a loud laugh. It was not the laugh i of amusement, but of absolute in credulity. However, he did not explain this to his father, i (To Bo Continued) THE KAISER AS I KNEW HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS By ARTHUR X. DAVIS, D. D. S. I.—"AMERICA MUST BE PUNISHED" (.Copyright, 1918, by the McCure Newspaper Syndicate) CHAPTER II The Kaiser at Potsdam Getting cut of Germany proved to be a far more difficult proposition than I had imagined. Because I was an American, I thought I would be able to go when ever 1 was ready, as long as I did not overstay 'he nine months period pro vided for in the treaty to which I have already referred, although I knew, of course, that I would first have to obtain certain credentials from the police and military authori ties. I did not anticipate any trou ble in that direction, however, par ticularly as it was generally known that I had long enjoyed the friend ship of the Kaiser and other influ ential Germans. In this, however, I was very much mistaken. I had been in touch with a Dr. Charles P. Haselden, of Hamburg, an American dentist, regarding his taking over my practice, twelve-year lease and other responsibilities. To complete the negotiations it was de sirable for us to get together in per son, but several applications which Dr. Haselden made for leave to visit me in Berlin were flatly refused. The restrictions placed on travel from one city to another, especially where alien enemies were involved, were very severe, and if one of the cities happened to be a seaport it was increasingly difficult. Indeed, before an alien resident af-a seaport was al lowed to leave the country he was required to spend at least two months in some interior town desig nated by the officials. The idea, of course, was to prevent his carrying away too much information as to conditions prevailing in the port of departure. I took this matter up with the Komrqandantur of Berlin—the mili tary department controlling alien enemies—but they said they wouldn't allow Haselden to come to Berlin be cause there were too many Amer ican dentists there already. The fact that Americans and other aliens were profiting by the absence of Germans at the front was naturally a thorn in the side of the Germans. As a matter of fact, however, out of some twenty-five American dentists prac ticing in Berlin before the war, there were now less than a dozen left, the others having either re turned to America or established themselves elsewhere in Europe. Realizing, therefore, that it would probably be several months before I could finally settle up my affairs, and that my child, who was ought to be taken out of Germany with as little delay as possible be cause food conditions were fast go ing from bad to worse, I applied to the Kommandantur for leave to have my wife and child go to Montreux. on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, where I hoped to Join them at the earliest possible moment and accompany them home. I did not relish the idea of their going across the ocean without me. That was in May, 1917. Weeks passed while our application was go ing from one official to another, ly ing, perhaps, for days at a time un der a pile of other applications of a similar character or awaiting the in vestigation of our personal histories, and it was not until the end of June that we received any word regarding it. Then we learned that it had been denied. This was my first intimation that we might have difficulty in getting out of Qfcrraany. A day or two later the Kaiser called on me professionally andl told him of our plight, hoping that he woud intercede for us. It was the only favor of a personal character I had ever asked of him. "My child is ailing, your Majesty," I said, "and I feel that she needs a change of climate. I applied to the Kommandantur for leave for my wife and child to go to Montreux, but I have just heard that it has been re fused!" "Davis. I will see what I can do in the matter," he replied reassuringly, and as )e was leaving my office he CIVIL WAR VETERAN Tells Aged People How to Get More Strength Here is another link in the chain of evidence to prove that our famous cod liver and iron tonic Vinol cre ates strength for feeble old people.

Vinol gave me a good appetite. I sleep well, and it has built me up so I feel stronger and better in every way. I strongly recommend Vinol for such conditions, as I believe it prolongs life for old people." George A. Gorgas, Kennedy's Med icine Store, 321 Market St.; C. F.

The Kaiser's influence would read-J ily solve our problem, I thought, and I was very much relieved. Two days later, however, 1 received a letter from Count von Moltke, one of the Kaiser's adjutants, stating that the Kaiser had spoken to him regarding the Switzerland project but, under the circumstances, it was out of the question. If. however, my child's condition were such as to make a change of climate really necessary, he ] added, the Kaiser suggested that a' trip to the Austrian Tyrol might per haps be arranged, as the climate, there was just as good as that of Switzerland, but before permission would be granted for that trip it would be necessary to obtain a certi ficate from the district doctor stating that it was necessary. As the fcod problem in Austria was just as bad as it was in Cot- ■ many, if not worse, that idea didn'tj appeal to me at all, and I went im mediately to the Kommandantur and explained the situation to them. When they saw Count von Moltke's letter, the officer in charge threw up his hands. "That's final," he declared. "That' comes from a higher authority than ours. It is useless to pursue the mat-' ter any further. We received a com- ; munication from his Majesty regard-j | ing your case, but the matter was , left entirely to our discretion. It' | was not a command, only a request; j from his Majesty. A command, of; course, would have been different." j Then I applied for a pass for mvj wife, child and myself to go to Amcr-' ; ica. Thev pointed out at the Kont- j I mandantur that as my wife's appli-; 1 cation to leave Berlin preceded mine, j it was possible she would be allowed \ to leave before me. I told the offi-j cer that would suit me admirably, as | I wanted the pass for Mrs. Davis and; the child granted at the earliest pos- j sible moment regardless of what ac- | i tion might be taken on my own ap-1 plication.

Xo. 5 .\rc You Making Pessimists or Optimists of Your Children? YOU do not necessarily spoil a child just because you indulge him. This is contrary to the old idea, of course, but many of the old ideas are absurd and need to be modified if not actually cast out. It is true that chilren are frequently indulged in ways that are detri mental, but the trouble in most j cases is that children are indulged j at wrong times and in the wrong manner. Indulgence, when prop erly executed, is one of the most ef fective instruments in the hands of parents. To illustrate—a mother writes to me: . , What can I do to make my nine-year-old boy quit acting foolish? He continually tries to mock Charlie Chaplin. I am ashamed of him. especially when we have company. I have never indulged him in it and he knows that it provokes me. Scolding has only made him worse. What should I do with him? Indulge this boy in the very thing he likes to do. Get his confidence. Spend a few minutes' time paying close attention to him and laughing with him. Tell him you want him to stags a Charlie Chaplin stunt for you—tell him to run with his toes out and with his hat on one aide of his head. etc. Suggest various forms cf dramatization and show your ap preciation of whatever efTort he makes for you. By this time, you will have gained at least his momentary confidence, t and you are ready for suggestion.

Within three or four; days the Germans captured succes sively the Oesel, Runo, Obro and Moon Islands in the Gulf of Riga and j then carried their invasion to the j mainland. Their apparent objective j was Petrograd and on October 19; the Russians announced that the seat! of the government would be removed | from Petrograd to Moscow, i These successes on the Baltic ' failed to overcome the depression in j Germany caused by the serious in-! ternal situation in Austria at this' period. Munition factories were be-, ing wrecked by hunger-crazed and 1 •war-weary strikers and the populace] was being shot down in great num- : bers in the food riots which devcl-! oped in various parts of Austria. Not since the war began had the outlook; been so discouraging for the Gor ' mans. ! ' Then, on October 24. just as things ; were looking their blackest, the great German-Austro offensive against the Italians was started. In three days ! the Italians were swept out of Aus tria and the Teutons pressed forward; i to the passes west of the Isonzo river, ' leading to the Venetian Plains. By' i the end of October the Italian ar-] ] mies were in full retreat. Before this; ! offensive was over, the Germans cap-j j tured. they claimed, no les3 than; ; 300.000 prisoners and several thou sand big guns, besides vast stores of I ! munitions and supplies. • The exultation of the Germans! ! over the triumph of their armies in Italy knew no bounds. While it was; ; at its height I had an interview with] ; the Kaiser which will ever remain j , one of the most vivid in my memory, j It was about three-thirty one Sun ] day morning when I was aroused by! ] a maid who, in awe-stricken tone of j j voice, announced that the Neue ] : Palais, the Kaiser's Palace at Pots- ] ' dam, was on the phone. I went to ] I the telephone and was informed that 1 I the Kaiser was suffering from a bad' 'toothache and would send his autoj ] for me within an hour or so. j I got up at once and packed myi 'instruments, and at six-thirty the] car, a big gray Mercedes limousine, j ~ "i' —— w. ui xvur v i iiiun ii; each one, suggesting in each case the number to follow and, after the last one, say, "You're getting to be quite an actor —I'll have to have you act for me again some time.'" Immediately after making the last remark, change the subject to some thing of a serious nature but one in { which he will surely be interesfc:d.- i Speak in a low, confidential manner, which will be such a contrast to | what has gone before that it will be quite unnatural for him to try to continue the play. By using this method for two or three days, you will have him under control. If. after indulging him in the manner suggested, and after you have assumed a serious attitude, he should try to get you to laugh, say. "Yes, I see. but that's ENOUGH NOW." Then immediately ask him some serious question. Many mothers, in dealing with a case like that described, would find it. difficult to keep from saying, "Oh. you needn't think for a minute that is cute! You are simply %aking a dunce of yourself!" But this would be worse than friendly remarks, the boy would simply take delight in "getting back" at his mother by teasing her more. The natural tendency of fathers in treating the case would be to threaten punishment and perhaps handle the boy roughly. But this is not advisable, because it would tend to make boy secretive and the father's tnnuence oger the boy would thus be impaired. The method recommended is cor rect because it secures results with out friction. The parent is working with the child rather than against him. and since the result is secured through confidence, it will be more lasting than if the appeal had been made to lower motives. k " arrived. Besides the chauffeur there was an outrider carrying the bugle whose distinctive notes only the Kai ser may use. It was a matter of only eighteen miles to the palace, but the weather was foggy and we traveled at a com paratively slow pace, traversing at one point a road which had been built specially for the Kaiser's use. ] and it was nearly eight o'clock when ] we arrived at the garden gates, where: two armed sentries were stationed. ] A whispered word from the chauf-! feur got us past the sentries with- ] out delay, and we drove up to the; front entrance of the palace.

While the Shell-Room and other staterooms were accessible to visitors before the war. no one was ever per mitted to visit the private apart ments of the Kaiser upstairs. On this occasion, however. I was guided right through the Shell- Room, through a door opening on the left and up a wide staircase to the Kaiser's Garderobe, or dressing room.
