CHAPTER XXV
Like many another conceited ama-!
teur detective, Clifford Chapin let j
his imagination and excitement ruu
away with his common sense and
memory.
Had he been more cool in judg
ment, and less intoxicated by the;
belief in his own Sherlock Holmes- j
like genius, he would have remem-1
foered that his parents had not been 1
entirely out of touch with Elizabeth :
Wade in the years that had passed t
since their son had seen her on the
farm, when she was a little girl
whose face he did not now recall. j
Of this he took no thought, but
jumped to the conclusion that Doug- I
las ade was a villain, making use of
two unsophisticated country people
to further his own ends.
The self-appointed detective w-as
at a loss as to what action to take, j
He wanted time to think the mat
ter out, time to get the essential j
facts. Then he would face the girl;
with them. She had flouted him,
had snubbed him. had resented his |
attempts at a harmless flirtation—
just as if she had been the innocent
and decent person she pretended to
be:
Elizabeth Wade had wounded his
vanity. That is an offense that an
egotist never pardons.
This man was not honest enough <
to acknowledge the truth. ' Instead,
he called his resentment righteous;
indignation.
But he was destined not to carry
his investigation as far as he ex- j
pected. That afternoon he received
a telegram from his employer. The
man who ws filling young Chapin's!
place during his vacation had oeen)
taken suddenly and seriously ill.
Clifford must start for Chicago to
morrow morning. To do this, he
would have to take a late evening I
train from Midland to Manchester.
In spite of his self-love, Clifford
was fond of his parents, especially j
of his mother. He could not bring
himself to shock her by the knowl-1
edge he believed he had obtained,
the, poor, unsuspecting soul, had
acceded TO his father's plans about
this girl. His father had trus*?d
Wade.
So both husband and wife had
been made the tools of the unscru-1
pulous physician. But the son would j
r.ot tell 'hem this. His decision was j
to have it out" with this girl who;
had snubbed him repeatedly. He'
would warn her that unless she went|
away he would divulge her shameful
secret to his parents.
A Bad Break
To carry out this plan would not'
be easy, he realized, when, that aft
ernoon, he came out upon the ve
randa where Elizabeth Wade sat
reading. She looked so refined, so
much the thoroughbred, that the
man felt as if he had dreamed all
ihe things that had filled his mind
during the past few hours.
"What are you reading?" he;
queried, to gain time.
Silentlv she held the back of the
book toward him. It was "Middle-!
march." |
"I see," he commented awkwardly, j
He was uot a reading man, and was'
at a loss as to what to say.
"Are you fond of George Eliot?";
rhe asked.
There was something in her tone ;
that convinced him that she sus- j
pected he had never read a line by j
that celebrated author. Was there i
a gleam of amusement in her glance? j
"I never cared much for his stuff,"
he replied.
Now he was sure that there was a;
laugh in her eyes. He even detected;
a slight twitching of the corners of
the mouth.
"What's the matter?" he demand
ed.
"Nothing," she answered demurely
resuming her reading.
fie stood for a moment in uncom
fortable silence: then, with a mut-j
tered excuse, strolled off the veranda j
and down '.he path.
What break had he made? Who;
was George Eliot, and why should |
one not say that he "did not care j
for his stuff?"
The sight of John Butler downj
in the orchard, where he had been |
showing Talak how to spray fruit;
trees, gave Clifford Chapin a sud-j
den inspiration. He would try j
learn from this college man what'
his mistake had been.
"Well," he greeted Butler easily,
as he reached his side, "been busy,
haven't you?"
He. Talks to Butler
"Yes," replied Butler, "I am usu
ally busy. But I like it."
"So do I," affirmed Clifford. "Go- 1

with Butler as he started from the)
orchard —"I'm returning to the wild (

He went on to explain that he had!

to Chicago.
"At first I was sorry, but, after
all, I don't mind getting into the
harness again," he remarked. "I
was wondering just now, when I

spoken to that girl about "his*

was mortified. He was also angry, j
Elizabeth had made him appear ri

Well, she would behave in a dif

DRYING PUMPKIN'
Pumpkins are bulky vegetables to
store —why not try something new
this year and dry them? It requires
a sharp knife, some "elbow grease,"
a little common sense and sunshine.
The free drying manual which the
National War Garden Commission,
Washington, will send in return for i
a two-cent stamp gives detailed di- j
rections for drying fruits and vege
tables.
There are two ways of preparing
pumpkin for drying and both are
satisfactory. Cut r into one-half inch
strips, pare and clean. Blanch three
minutes. Cold dip, remove surface \
moisture by pressing between clean j
towels, and spread on drying traps, :
platters, or dripping pans. Spread a
single .thickness of paper or thin
muslin first. The drying time is three
I to four hours, starting at 110 degrees
' F. and raising gradually to 140 de
grees F. The pumpkin may be cut in
rings instead of strips, and these
rings hung up over the kitchen stove
or in the sun. Unless the air is very
dry, the time required will be longer
; if the drying is done in the sun than
in a drier, but less watching is nec
essary and the product will have an j
excellent flavor. The qommisslon
will be glad to answer any questions

THE KAISER AS I KNEW
■HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
By ARTHUR X. DAVIS, D. D. S.
HOW I BECAME THE KAISER'S DENTIST
(Copyright, 1918. by the McCluro .
Syndicate.) <
CHAPTER HI
Next door to my boyhood home. ,
in Piqua. Ohio, there lived a Ger- .
man named Diffenbacher. He was;
rather a grouchy individual and none I t
of us had ever had very much to do'
with him.
Nevertheless, when. In 1899, I was .
preparing to leave home, and the of-!*
fice of Dr. E. S. Fuller. whe.ri I had ,
been working and studying- to take
up the dental course at Lake'-Forest r
University, Chicago, 111., this man:
Diffenbacher came to say good-by,
and a remark he made at the, time j
has always impressed me as ha\ins'
had a most uncanny significance in j
view of later developments, al- ;
though, of course, I realize it must;
have been purely a coincidence.
"I hear you are going away to 1
study dentistry," he declared, in
rather broken English.
"Yes. that's so." I replied.
"Well, I wish you luck. Dr. Evans,
the dentist, vho recently died in,
Paris, he was dentist *o Napoleon
111. He was an American, too. I j
prophesy that one day you will be.
dentist to the Kaiser."
I didn't pay much attention to his
suggestion at the time, but it came |
back to me rather strongly a day or
two later, when, in conversation with
Dr. Truman W. Brophy, the Dean of
the Chicago Dental College, he said
he saw great opportunities for Amer
ican dentists in Germany and advised
I me to take up the study of German.;
Whether it was with these things
\ in mind or not I do not now recall.;
but it is a fact that while I was still I
a dental student I organized a class!
in German at the Hull House and;
four other students and myself plug- i
ged away at the language for three;
or four months.
During my first vacation while at
college, I went to New York to get
more practical experience in den-;
tistry and became assistant to Dr.
M. L. Rheim and it was through this
connection that the opportunity to!
practice abroad subsequently came
to me.
I graduated from college In 19021
and established myself in Chicago.
0 MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR CHILDREN V
A Series of Plain Talks to
® Parents
By Ray C. Beery, A.8., M.A. T j
President of the Parents Association.
(Copyright, 1918, by the Parents Association, Inc.)
No. 8 Ae Vou Making Pessimists or Optimists of Your Children?
WE ALL know the pessimist—
have suffered by his spleen.
We all know the optimist—
are glad to come into contact with
him. As Robert Louis Stevenson
says somewhere, when such a per
son enters a room, it is as if another
candle had been lighted.
And the foundations of the de
terminating attitude toward life are
laid in childhood.
You as a parent are laying the
foundations.
Pessimists are simply grown-up
children who have never been
taught in childhood not to whine
and complain.
Let us take an example. A
mother said to me:
My little boy years old
whines nearly all the time. It
seems as if he hardly can speak
without whining, what can I
do to get him to overcome this
bad habit?
Your whlr.ing child should be
treated something like this: The
first time he says anything in a
whining tone, pay no more attention
to him than if he had not uttered a
word. About the second time he
runs over the same thing, turn your
face toward him, look him squarely
in the eye and say, "Come here."
When he comes to your knee, say
rather slowly. "I will not listen to
little boys who whine, any more. If
you want me to hear you, you must
talk without the whine. Now what
is it you wanted to tell me? Smile
immediately after saying this and
no matter what he says, smile again
and say, "There, that's better."
If you treat htm this way for a
few days, the whining will entirely
disappear. It is simply a bad habit.
Let him understand that you will
not recogntxe his wants when he
whines and, further, that you will
not permit his whining.
While you are trying to cure him.
be sure to approve him a great dpal
RKRIUSBXJRO TELEGKXFH
About a year and a half" later I re-i
ceived an invitation from Dr. Rheln I
to go to New York to meet Dr. Al-j
onzo H. Sylvester, an American den-;
tist practicing in Berlin, and who!
numbered the Kaiser among his pa-!
tients. He bad come to America to j
select an associate because his fa.il- >
ing health made it impossible fori
him to give his practice the attention:
demanded.
.It.is needless to say the receipt of
this message brought old Diffen-j
bacher's remark back to me with
"renewed force, but even then I did
not realize how accurate his plop-;
hecy was to prove.
Dr.* Sylvester had been in New
York three weeks interviewing a
number of dentists but he had found;
no one to fill the position. The pos- ■
i sibilities he held out to me were most
: alluring, but Germany seemed very
1 far away, and I allowed him to re
turn to Germany without a definite
acceptance of his proposition from
me. Some days later, however. I de-:
cided to accept It and cabled him ac- i
' cordingly. •
I sailed on September 15, 1903, |
! arriving in Berlin on the 24th.
Dr. Sylvester. I found, had been
the Kaiser's dentist for more than
. twenty-five • years, having treated k
him ever since he was a boy. At the'
time, dentistrv In Germany had not.
yet attained the dignity of a profes-;
sion—indeed, the German dentist of
that period was hardly beyond the I
barber class—and American dentists j
were in general favor throughout!
' Europe.
I The success of American dentists I
i abroad dates back to the time of Na-I
! poleon 111, when Dr. Thomas W. i
; Evans, the Emperor's dentist, not;
i only earned a wonderful reputation j
for himself professionally, but played
a most important part in European;
politics. It was through his advice;
and influence that the French re-i
mained neutral during our Civil I
War, and when the second French j
Empire collapsed the Empress Hu- j
! genie made her escape through the
: gates of Cans in a carriage with Dr
Evans, disguised as his assistant.
| Dr. Evan accumulated a fortune
of several millions of dollars through:
in his play. Let him see how far he
can Jump, and no matter how short
the distance, encourage him and
praise him for his effort. A little
of this sort of thing put into your
routine will help you in quickly
and effectively overcoming the bad
habit.
."I have a daughter nine years
old." writes another mother,
"who has the habit of complain
ing. She has a very sensitive
disposition and she is forever
grumbling about some ailment.
If not that, it is something else.
Please tell me how to overcome
this tendency."
This girl needs to have less
attention paid to her when she com
plains. She should be neither scold
ed for complaining nor sympathized
with in the least in regard to that
about which she complains. Wheri
she makes a complaining remark,
act as if you had not heard.
Keep her time filled with whole
some activity. . Give her something
else to think about beside her little
imaginary ailments. Encourage her
to play out doors as much as possi
ble and to take a great deal of ex
ercise. Interest her in helping you
with the housework.
Approve her a great deal both on
how much she is able to do for you
and on how well she does the work.
Talk and Joke with her while work
ing together so that she has a really
good time. Be optimistic, yourself;
your daughter gradually will become
so. Watch for improvement and
whenever you see any, tell her about
It.
When a child follows its mother,
whining and complaining, the na
tural impulse is to say: "Oh, my
dear child, you just worry the life
eut of mother! Can't you sit down
and be still a minute? Why don't
you go outside and play a while?
But this only aggravates the habit.
| The positive method suggested is the
1 only satisfactory one.
i
profitable real estate investments!
which had been suggested to him i
from time to time by the Emperor in!
appreciation of their friendship.
While Dr. Sylvester was less of a:
factor in the politics of Germany!
than Dr. Evans had been in those of
France, he was very highly regarded
professionally by the Kaiser and the
royal family. He told me that some!
years before he had been summoned i
to the palace to attend the Kaiser's
mother for some minor trouble, and
that he had sent her carriage back,
empty with the message that if her
Majesty wanted his services she i
would have .to come to his office the j
same as other patients. Needless to!
say. she did nothing of the kind, but
Bismarck subsequently called on the
dentist professionally and explained
that he did so because he had ,ad- !
mired the independent spirit the doc
tor had displayed on that occasion,
although, iie added, it had very
nearly resulted in his being sent out
of Germany.
Dr. Sylvester's residence and of
fices were cn the Tiergarten, and it
was there that I commenced the
practice of dentistry in Germany. It
was undersfood that I was to attend
the Kaiser right from the start, and
although Sylvester explained to me
exactly what I was to do when his
Majesty arrived, I must confess I
looked forward to the ordeal with
considerable anxiety.
It was almost five months after I
had been established as Sylvester's
associate that we received word from
the Ka>6er's Kammerdiener, or body
servant, over the telephone, that his
Majesty would be at our place the
following morning at 8 a. m.
This meant that we were to can
cel all other appointments for the
greater part of the following morn
ing, as it was the invariable practice
to clear the way. so to speak, for the
Kaiser that he might not encounter
other, patients when he called.
I don't believe I slept very sound
ly that night. I know that I was
very nervous the next morning when
at about 7:30 three or four secret
service police arrived at our place
and stationed themselves outside the
premises to see that everything was
safe for the Kaiser's arrival. A few
minutes later a squad of uniformed
police arrived and guarded the ap
proach to the house. Shortly before
S o'clock I went to a window to
watch the Kaiser coming down 'he
Tiergarten and I saw the familiar
white cockade on his footman's hat,
tr. the carriage, drawn by two white
horses with red plumes, was the Kai
ser himself. Another carriage fol
lowed the Kaiser's and contained his
adjutants.
When he came into our office Syl
vester received him. A few moments
later word was sent out to me, and I
went in to meet the Kaiser.
He was in full uniform and wore
a sword. Hit kingly bearing was
very conspicuous, although, as he ex-;
tended his hand and grasped mine
so hard that he nearly crushed the
bones, he was making an effort, I
knew, to appear as democratic as
possible.
"Well, young man," he greeted me,
rather effusively, "you have come to
Berlin, I understand, to make your
home. X hope you will have a happy
life among us. You look a little pale.
We'll have to feed you and fatten
you upon good German food."
It wasn't lack of food that made
me pale, but I didn't tell him so. The
fact was that this was the first time
I had ever been presented to a king,
and the prospect of having to work
oh this monarch rather unnerved
me.
Dr. Sylvester asked him if he
would go to my operating room,
which he readily consented to do.
When he was seated in my chair, I
examined his teeth and found them
to be in rather a neglected condition.
As I have mentioned, this was the
first time in more than five months
that he had visited Sylvester. It was
during that period that he had un
dergone the operation on his throat
which started the rumor that he was
suffering from cancer, his father
having died from cancer of the
throat. As a matter of fact, as I
subsequently learned from Count
Taube, the Swedish Ambassador to
Germany, whose physician per
formed tho operation on the Kaiser,
no anaesthetic had been employed
on that occasion and the operation
could hardly have been of the char
acter surmised.
I had to work on him steadily for
an hour and a half, and once or
twice he leferred to a wrist watch
but he showed no particular impa
tience. As a matter of fact, through
out all his subsequent relations with
me he never seemed to mind how
long he remained in my office after
my work was over, although, .tfter
a more or less lengthy discussion on
some subject of interest, Tie would
sometimes say: "Well. Davis, you
kept the Minister of Marine waiting
for me Just half an hour," or, "Now,
Davis, I've got to keep my appoint
ment with the Reichskanzler. I'm
forty minutes late already."
On this occasion I firmly believe I
went through a far more severe or-i
deal than my patient. I recollect;
clearly how the mouth-mirror rat- i
tied against his teeth when I in
serted it in his mouth the first time
because my hand shook so violently.
Perhaps the fact I was then only 25
years old partially accounts for my
nervousness on this occasion.
When it was all over the Kaiser
got out of the chair and shook hand 9
with me again, and then, catching a
glimpse of my pale countenance, de
clared:
"Well, young man, you'd better go
out and eat a beefsteak that thick'."
and he indicated with his thumb and
finger a thickness of about two
Inches.
Six times that month the Kaisei
came to me, but his subsequent visit)
never disturbed me. X was neve
again ill at ease in his presence. Oi
the contrary. I looked forward to hi
coming because of the extremely in
teresting views he almost invariabl;
expressed.
On January 10, 1905, Sylvestei
failed to make his appearance in hi)
office, and as I wanted to speak t(
him regard,ng an X-ray picture toi
a patient who was waiting in my of
fice, I went to look for him.
I found him in bed covered ir
blood. In his hands was a long pis
tol with a gold-plated barrel and a
pearl handle. He had shot himsell
through the head. His failing healtf
and an accumulation of debts had
caused him deep depression for some
time, but I had had no idea that it
would lead to that, and the tragedy
was a great shock to me.
The passing of Dr. Sylvester left
me in full charge of his depleted
practice. I was not at all sure that
the Kaiser would continue as my
patient. There were now a number
of able German as well as many
American dentists practicing in Ber
lin, and I thought that the Kaiser
would, perhaps, select one of them
now that Sylvester was gone.
A day or two after the tragedy,
however, I was looking out of the
window when the Kaiser, walking
with two officers, passed my house
and, observing me at the window,
waved his hand in such a friendly
manner that I concluded he intended!
to come to me as usual.
Two or three weeks later he did j
pay me a visit.

, ing on here?" he asked, referring to
i the tragedy in the house: "had Syl
vester lost his mind?"
He asked me for full particulars,
which I gave him. Then he told mo
that he really believed Sylvester had
become insane because he had heard
I that some time before the doctor had
• struck his head violently against a
■ sharp point of a low chandelier and
perhaps the blow had injured his
brain.
1 I told him tbat I planned to move
my office.
'l "Yes, Davis, I suppose you will
wish to do that." he replied, "but I
I hope you won't go above the ground
■j floor. I don't like to have to go up
ii stairs."
Two or three months later X se- j
cured a suitable place in the Lennes- j
trasse, overlooking the Tiergarten,
and apparently my quarters were not !
distasteful to his Majesty, because he
came to .me regularly during the;
three years that I remained there, j
My office faced the park and was
located in the ground floor. The
Kaiser and many other of my motei
distinguished patients, I knew, would 1
not care to risk observation from a]
house on the opposite side of the,
street, and X kept that in mind when. \
at the expiration of my lease, I
moved to Koeniggraetzer Strasse in I
1908 and to the corner of Tiergarten !
strasse and Bendler strasse in 1911.
At the end of the year after Syl
vester's death I received a personal
call from the Kaiser's household doc
tor asking me to submit a bill to the
Kaiser for my professional services.
I knew that Sylvester had never ren
dered the Kaiser a bill, and I told
the doctor that I preferred not to do
so. "I appreciate the honor of treat
ing the Kaiser," I said, "and I do
not care to put in a bill for my
work." I knew he had given Syl
vester presents from time to time,
although never anything of any in
trinsic value, but I was aware that X
had hard work ahead to rebuild Syl
vester's practice and that the pres
tige of having the Kaiser come to
my office would be a great help.
"But the Kaiser wishes it," the
doctor persisted, "and besides every
one else is paid—the Kaiser pays his
doctors, why shouldn't he pay his
dentist?"
There was really no reason why
I should work for the Kaiser for
nothing. Indeed, apart from the
prestige involved, working for the
Kaiser was not a particularly remu
nerative proposition. It meant the
demoralization of my routine for a
portion of the day whenever he
called, and while that was not so
serious in the early days, later on
when other members of the royal
family came to me for treatment and
expected to be taken care of irre
spective of such other appointments
! as I may have made, the situation
| was very provoking as well as com
] ical.
Nevertheless, I submitted a very
i moderate bill for my first year's
| work, charging only my regular fee
! for the treatments I had given the
| Kaiser during the year. Within a
I few days there came a package con
! taining new bills in payment of the
account, and I was very much sur
j prised to find that his Majesty had
; doubled the amount, an act which
| was not at all in keeping with the
' stingy character the whole royafl
i family was known to possess,
i Indeed, some years later, ;when I
! submitted my bill for professional
j services to one of the Kaiser's sons,
j he sent me a postal order in pay
ment, but deducted the cost of the
| postal order.

Practice of Medicine Guesswork
I It has been said that the practice
of medicine at best is simply a game
! of guesswork, because the action of

proof of its merit. Such a medi

ble Compound, that famous old root
and herb remedy, now recognized
from shore to shore as the stand
