CHAPTER VI.
(Copyright. IDIB, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
Am I going to like Betty Bryce?
I thought at first I must hate her.
Then I decided Just to forget her—
to put her out of my life. It seems,
however. Betty Bryce doesn't intend
to let mo do that!
This morning when we took a
little spin in our car. Jim discovered
that the carbureter was clogged by
"dirty gas." He decided to give the
car a thorough overhauling before we
started out this afternoon for a trip
to the nearby flying field. He hur
ried down to the garage and I put on
my little blue motor hat and sat on
the piazza waiting for him.
Suddenly Rettv Bryce's battleship
gray limousine drovo up to the steps.
She got cut. followed by her little
wavering companion. Miss Mos3. At
sight of. me. a sudden glint came into
her green ayes. I could see that she
wa3 forming a decision, and I knew
from my first experience with her
bow she swept people into the heart
of her decisions.
In another minute almost before
I realized it the limousine had
been dismissed. Miss Moss waved to
upstairs regions, and Mrs. Bryce
and I were on our way to the little
vine-hung summer house down near
the fountain in the grounds.
"You and I have a great deal to
say to each other." remarked Mrs.
Bryce in a voice that seemed almost
kind, even though it was very busi
nesslike. "Is Jimmie rut of the way
somewhere?"
I told her that he had gone to fix
the carbureter, and she smiled se
renely."
"Oh, then we've an hour. When
Jimmie starts tinkering with a
car"— She waved one white hand in
a graceful gesture, smiling in real
amusement. Again I noticed the red
scare across her knuckles. "Well.

pie always do when I want them
to."
I choked back the words that
fairlv threatened to swell up and say
themselves: "Yes. I know but why
must you want my husband to like
you? Why can't you let him alone?
Instead I parried:
"Why shouldn't I like you?"
The Women Fence
"Well done, little girl—that, puts
mo on the defensive! I knew you
were clever. No, there isn't any
reason why you shouldn't like me •
unless you're the type of woman who
is going to object to all her hus
band's old friends and want to start
him over new in her world I
wouldn't try that on with Jimmie if
I were you. He has some good paLs
—and he's a loyal sort."
"He told me—about your husband."
I said gently.
She smiled serenely I think hers
must be the way thoroughbreds take
their losses—and she said:
"Yes. Mrs. Harrison—he was with
poor Atherton when my boy tumbled
down behind his own lines in a flam
ing car. It was your Jimmie who
wrote it to me—back in the spring
of uineteen-fifteen, when it wasn't |
even our war yet I hurried across i
to find my boy's body but I left it,
there, where he had fought so splen- ;
didly. Did Jimmie tell you that?'
"No—only that he was with your i
husband—at the last"
"Then I won't tell you any more,
Mrs. Harrison I think we'll let your j
hero tell you his own war story. He ,
talks about the war to you all the
time, of course?"
"No—hardly ever," I replied.
Betty Bryce looked at me strange
ly, and then she exclaimed:
"Why, it was his life for over
three years! Oh, forgive me, Mrs. Har- |
rison. 1 suppose you keep him from
doing it for fear it will hurt too
much"
I Suddenly I knew that this wasn't !
i so. I had married Jim after a whirl- j
I wind courtship married him with- ;
! out knowing him. I didn't even know I
him now! The war had been his life [
| for over three years, and I was ask
: ing him to forget his very life and
i live in a lotus land of love.
! One minute I loathed myself. The
I next I resented this strange woman,
with her beautiful clothes, her as
sured manner, her compelling eyes J
and the little air of reserve and mys
tery that hung about her. She talk
ed of everything fearlessly and with
out questioning whether or not she
were intruding she talked freely
of everything but herself.
"Perhaps you mean to be kind," I
said slowly, "but do you think you
need to t.ell me what a wife and
husband should talk about? Isn't it
merciful to let Jim forget the war
for a while?"
She Keeps Her Temper
It was abominable of me, but she
didn't get angry. She only looked
at roe with an expression that seem
ed almost pitying.
"Mrs. Jimmie, there are some things
you will need to understand if you're
going to be happy with your husband.
He was a soldier for three years.
The war is in his blood. Let ,me
tell you"—
She leaned forward earnestly. I
felt almost frightened as she ex
claimed:
"Whether Jim likes it or not, I'm
going to tell you some of the things
you need to understand. I have
seen those boys—"
Then Jim's clear whistle rang over
the lawn and I saw him whirling
the little car about and driving down
the road toward the summer house.
A sudden feeling of relief made me
almost dizzy. I wanted to know—
and yet I feared what Betty Bryce
had been ready to say the things
Jim's voice stopped:
"I knew you girls would hit it off
when you got to know each other.
What have vou been telling Little
Anne. Betty?"
Betty Bryce lifted her eyes to his
with cool insolence.
'We've been talking about the
things women usually talk about—•
i men and things." she said lightly.
And never once on our trip did
it occur to me to explain to Jim that
what she had said was not the truth
—queer that'there should be a secret
between Betty Bryce and me.
My bo<y and I spent a wonderful
afternoon at the great Aviation Field.
We were happy together but even in
my wonder at the great planes which
rose whirring above us. like giant
birds. I couldn't forget the warning in
Betty Bryce's eyes in her tense
voice. What was it she felt that I
had such grave need of knowing?

THE KAISER AS I KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D. S. ,
L—"AMERICA MUST BE PUNISHED"
While X was breakfasting, the
Kaiser was dressing. His valet en
tered several times, I noticed, to
take out articles of clothing from the
massive wardrobes which lined the
room. I had just completed my
meal when I received word that m>
patient was ready to receive me.
As I entered the Kaiser's bedroom,
he was standing in the center of the
room, fully attired in an army gray
uniform, but without his sword. He
looked more haggard than I had ever
seen him, except once in 1915. Lack
of sleep and physical pain were two
things with which he had had very
little experience, and they certainly
showed their effects very plainly.
He didn't seem to be in the best of
humor but greeted me cordially
enough and shook hands.
"In all my life, Davis," he said, "I
have never suffered so much pain."
I expressed my sorrow and started
to improvise a dental chair out of an
upholstered armchair on which 1
placed some pillows, and, as the Kai
ser sat down, he laughingly re
marked:
"Look here, Davis, you've got to do
something lor me. I can't fight the
whole world, you know, and have a
toothache!"
I employed neither a general or io- I
cal anaesthetic. At various times!
since the Kaiser had been my patient j
I had suggested that I could save
him pain by the use of a local anaes
thetic. but he had always refused it
"The ladies like an anaesthetic, no
doubt, Davis," he had said, "but 1
can stand it without. Go ahead!"
and I may say, at this point, that in
all my experience, I never observed
him to flinch while in the chair. He
was the best patient in that respect
I had ever treated. It often occur
red to me, after the war started, that
in his own callousness to pain lay the
secret of his disregard for the pain
and suffering he caused in others.
My work on this occasion occu
pied, perhaps, twenty minutes. Dor
ing this time and during the conver
sation which followed, I had more or
less opportunity to observe the con
tents of the room and it left a very
clear impression on my mind.
I had placed the chair opposite
the windows which faced the front
of the palace and which commanded
a beautiful view of the surrounding
landscape. The Kaiser's bed was an
elaborate brass affair set in an al
cove, but although it was unusually
large, the room was so spacious—
perhaps forty by fifty feet—that it
was not conspicuous.
The furniture was white and gold
of a French design, and massive
gold-framed mirrors adorned the
walls. There were oil paintings, and
photographs of Various members of
the royal family and the Kaiser him
self all around the room.
A large open- fireplace, in which a.
log fire was burning, took up part
of one wall. In the center of the
room was a table upon which there
were several books. Two of them
made a particular impression upon
me. One was called "The World
War,' the other "The Next World
War,' both in German.
Between the fireplace and the ta
ble, attached to the floor, was a
rowing-machine, and I noticed that
it had a special attachment for the
Kaiser's partially helpless left hand.
When I was through and his pain
was relieved, his spirits seemed to
revive appreciably, and he explained
why it was he was so anxious to
have his tooth trouble removed as
quickly as possible.
"I must go down to Italy, Davis,"
he said, "to see what my noble troops
have accomplished. My gracious,
what we have done to them down
there! Our offensive at Riga was Just
a feint. We had advertised our in
tended offensive in Italy so thor
oughly that the Italians thought we
couldn't possibly intend to carry it
through. For three months, it was
common talk in Germany, you re
member, that the great offensive
would start in October, and so the
Italians believed it was all a bluff
and when we advanced on Riga they
were sure of it. They thought we
were so occupied there that we
could pay no attention to them, and
so we caught them napping!"
The Kaiser's face fairly beamed
as he awclt on the strategy of his
generalsand the successful outcome
of their Italian campaign.
"For months Italy had been en
gaged in planting her big guns on
the mountain-tops and gathering
mountains of ammunition and. sup
plies and food and hospital supp'ies
in the valleys below, in preparation
for their twelfth Isonzo offensive.
"We let them go ahead and waited
patiently for the right moment. Thev
thought that their contemplated of
fensive must inevitably bring our
weaker neighbor to her knees and
force her to make a separate peace!"
By "our weaker neighbor" the Kai- j
ser. of course, referred to Austria,
and how accurate was his informa
tion regarding Italy's expectations!
and how easily they might have been !
realized were subsequently revealed
by the publicatiou of that famous
letter from Kaiser Karl to Prince
Sextus.
"And then," the Kaiser went on,
"when their great offensive was
within a week of being launched, we
broke through their lines on a slope
3,000 feet high, covered with snow,
where they couldn't bring up their
reserves or new guns, and we sur
rounded them!
We took practically everything
they possessed—food enough to feed
our entire army without calling upon
our own supplies at all. Never be
fore had our armies seen such an
accumulation of ammunition. I
must certainly go down to see it
"We cut off their northern retreat,
and as they swung their army to the
south, we captured 60,000 of them
up to their knees in the rice fields.
One of the great mistakes they made
was in carrying their civilian refu
gees with them —ologging their nar
row roads and impeding the retreat
of their soldiers. We had taken pos
session of their most productive re
gions, and their retreat was through
territory which yielded them noth
ing. Just think of that retreating
army thrown upon the already im
poverished inhabitants of that sec
tion. Why, they'll starve to death!
"Everywhere we went we found
their big guns abandoned. In one
small village we came upon a gun
decorated with flowers and sur
mounted with a portrait of Emperor
Franz Josef. It had been put there
by the Italian inhabitants of the
village to show their happiness at
being released at last from the yoke
of the intolerable Italian lawyer
government! How terribly the Ital
ians must have treated them! Italy
will never get over this defeat. This
was real help from God! Now, we've
got the Allies!" and he struck his
left hand with his right with great
force to emphasize his apparent con
viction that the turning point in 'he
war had been reached with Italy's
collapse.
Then he picked up a newspaper
from the table—l couldn't see which
one it was. but it looked like the
Nord Deutsche All Gemeine Zeitung
—and remarked: "Well, Davis, I
must go into breakfast. My wife is
waiting for me!" and he shook hands
with me again and walked out of
the room to the rear.
How optimistic, enthusiastic and
supremely confident the Kaiser was
at this conjuncture can be imagined
only by those who are familiar with
the depression in Germany just be
fore this Italian offensive was
launched. Everyone seemed to real
ize that Austria's abandonment of
the cause of the Central Powers was
imminent; her support then hung
only by the flimsiest kind of thread.
Had the German-Austro offensive
against Italy fallen down or the
twelfth Italian Isonzo offensive been
successfully launched, a separate
peace would almost certainly have
followed, and no one realized that
better thin the Kaiser and his gen
erals. His bubbling enthusiasm in
success only emphasized in my mind
the outward calm he had unceasing
ly displayed even when the outcome
had looked so unpromising.
That the Kaiser now regarded
himself and his armies as invincible
I felt, and I feared that the success
in Italy would be followed at the
first favorable opportunity by a gi
gantic offensive on the western
front.
Indeed, on a subsequent occasion,
when he called at my office for fur
ther treatment, and again referred
to the Italian triumph, he remarked:
"If our armies could capture 300,090
Italians—and those 300,000 might
just as well be dead as far as Italy
is concerned—we can do the same
thing against our enemies in the
west!"
This was one of the interviews I
was so anxious to report to the rep
resentatives of the American Intelli
gence Department at our Legation
in Copenhagen, and, later on, when
I finally arrived in that city, I re
lated it in great detail to them. I
remained in Copenhagen eleven
days, and during the greater part of
that time I was being interviewed by
one or another of the representatives
of our Intelligence Department. Ex
actly two months later, on March
21st, the western offensive broke out
as I had feared.
I called at Potsdam a day .or two
later to attend the Kaiser again, and
found him still in the same trium
phant mood, and so anxious was he
to get down to Italy that he called I
at my office three times that week i
to enable me to complete my work'
on his affected tooth.
Up to this time I had been unable:
to complete my negotiations with Dr. I
Haselden. At last, through Influence,'
I secured permission for him to visit i
me in Berlin and he arrived early in I
November. He Stayed with me three |
days and the matter was disposed of. j
After one of two trips back and!
forth, he arrived with his belongings,
on November 25th and Installed him
self in my house.
The following day the Kaiser
called at my office for what proved
to be his last sitting. I had received
word on the 20th that my pass for
America had been granted and that
I could leave on the 30th, and I ac
cordingly told the Kaiser that it was
my intention to leave for Copenha
gen on that day.
I explained that I was completely
run flown—and I certainly looked it
—and jthat it was necessary for me
to get* to Copenhagen anyway, so
that I could get in touch with Amer
ica regarding a porcelain tooth pa
tent which had been granted to mej
in July, 1915, but which a large den
tal company was seeking to wrest
from roe. The patent authorities had
delayed action because of the fact
that I resided in an enemy country.
I told him, furthermore, that I had
arranged with Dr. Haselden to look
after my practice while I was away
and that I had great confidence in
him because he had made a fine
reputation for himself professional
ly. Incidentally, he was an amateur
champion tennis player, and a very
pouplar man socially.
On the 28th I received a letter
from the Court Chamberlain stating
that the President of Police had
made it known to the Kaiser that I
had applied for a pas 3 to America
and demanding an explanation as to
why I had told the Kaiser that I
had planned to go to Copenhagen
and had not mentioned America.
I at once replied that it was indeed
my intention, as I had told the Kai
ser to go lo Copenhagen, but that
I had applied for the pass to Amer
ica because I wanted to be in a posi
tion to go there if my patent affairs
demanded it, and I expressed ihe
hope that nothing would be done to
interfere with the pass which had
been promised me for the 30th.
Nevertheless, the 30th came
around and the pass didn't, and the

boat which sailed from Copenhagen
on December 7th, which I had plan
ned to take, sailed without me.
Again the weary weeks followed
each other without the slightest in
timation from anyone that I would
ever be allowed to leave. Indeed, I j
had fully made up my mind that the
authorities had decided to keep me'
in Berlin for reasons of their ownj
I and that nothing I could do could
mend the situation, when, early in
January, I received the joyous tid
ings that I could leave January 21-
23. I left on the 22d. and as far as
I have since been able to ascertain
I was the last American male to
leave Germany with the consent of
the officials.
That afternoon, when I landed in
Denmark, I was happier than I bad
ever been in my life, and I heaved a
j deep sigh of relief as I reflected that
i I had at last shaken the dust of Ger
many from my feet and would soon
. rejoin my family in the land of free
" dom. And yet there was a slight
tinge of regret in the thought that
I I had given up an unique position be
hind the scenes of history's most stu
pendous drama—a position in which
I came in intimate contact with some
of its principal characters!

A YOUNG BUT ARDENT PATRIOT
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Would you kindly tell me whether
a girl of 16 could do war work across
the seas?
I I am still at school, but wish to
help my country, and would like to
I sail for France. I am willing to
study for any length of time in order
to become an expert at the work I
undertake. I believe I can secure my
parents' consent.
I know you will not only help me,
but many other girls of my age by
answering this.
ANXIOUS.
My Dear Anxious, as the War De
partment will not issue a passport to
any girl under 25 years of age, you
j would have to wait nine years be
fore you would be eligible, and long
before that time we hope for peace.
However, you can help your coun

and fats and saving all your extra
pennies for Thrift Stamps.
INDIAN TEA-CHESTS
The total number of tea-chests ret
quired for the Indian tea crop is be-"
tween 3,000,000 and 4,000,000. The
timber 'required for tea-chests is ol
a very special kind. It must contain
no sap that would corrode the tea
lead in which the tea is packed, must
be free from any odor, as tea will
take this up readily, and must bo well
seasoned, as the tea is usually hot
when packed, and unseasoned wood
will warp. Examination has shown
that suitable timber exists in India
in large quantities.
