CHAPTER VII
(Copyright, 1918, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
Set back from a white-paved
crossroads corner in the heart of
Long Island there is a place called
Flower Dew Inn.
Thg name sounds as if the place
were a little garden spot, white,
red-awninged and set in green
sward. in reality it's a great rum
bling structure of lemon-colored
frame with porches and chimneys
of red brick tacked on at random.
.Three boys preside over the graveled
entrance and graciously grant you
permission to park your car some
where In the barren brown court
yard that blossoms only with auto
mobiles and their shining nickel and
enamel. Flower Dew Inn is the gay-1
est place on the island.
Feverishly, laughing like a child
playing hookey from school, Jim i
turned in at the entrance. The ball
Was crowded with people waiting!
for places in the great, brlck-pil-!
lured, brick-floored diningroom. The
place looked avaricious and cold—I:
Wondered bow Jim could afford to
bring me there.
Just ahead of us stood a party of
four. There were two men In bluo
serge coats and white flannels that
looked as if they might cost more
than the suits the editors of Hal-1
dune's wore down to the office. The!
Women were in billowy chiffons andi
picturesque, floppy hats. I
Suddenly the girl in blue turned.
Her wide eyes of corn-flower blue
widened still more between their
thick, light lashes. Her full red
lips pouted their way into an
amazed a delightful smile that
brought out a spray of tiny dimples
at her mouth corners. She looked
like a very knowing little child.
"It's Jim! Jimmie himself —come
back to us!" She called and darted
over to us.
A Challenge to Jim
A moment later she stood looking
tip at my husband challcngingly, herj
head uptilted, her little body quiver
ing. She had two aspects—one, a
pleading, "Don't hurt me" air; the
other, worldly, a gay little air of
impudence and indifference as to
what the people in her party might
think.
"Evelyn!" cried Jim—and I de
tected a bit of annoyance in his tone.
The girl had caught his hands in
hers and was looking up with the
Wistful air of a child who doesn't
want to be punished, though it
knows it has been very naughty.
"When did you get back? Why
haven't I seen you? Are you still
angry with me, Jim?"
The blue eyes misted over, I was
sorry for the girl. Evidently Jim
had hurt her somehow.
"Evelyn, I want you to meet my
wife," said Jim, curtly. "Anne,
this is my friend, Evelyn Mason."
The girl's face went pink all at
once and then paled, so that her
pouting red lips twisted out against
a frail background of white. But
she reached up and kissed me. We
were friends at once.
She insisted that we must sit with
her party. A moment later she was
presenting Jim's wife to Mr. and
Mrs. Royce and Mr. Blake, and
every one was congratulating Jim
and watching Miss Mason and me
with a puzzled air. In the dressing
room it was settled by Miss Mason
that she was "Evelyn" to me and I
"Anne" to her. As we were going to
be friends we might as well start,
she said.
"This is Shelly's party—let's go
the limit," cried Miss Mason, when
we were puzzling out the order.
She looked like an adorable oaby
when she said it, and every one
laughed when she asked the waiter
whether Russian caviar or lobster
cocktails would do more to set the
proprietor up in business. Jim
looked uneasy. He frowned when
he heard Miss Mason call me Anne,
I wondered why?

wondered if my husband had a mag
netism that no woman could resist
—and if he enjoyed his power. I
felt uneasy, but Jim's own air ofj
reservo and unrest reassured me a i
bit.
There was dancing, but Jim was
informed that heroes weren't re-1
quired to be dance partners. Evelyn j
Mason pat out a dance with
him and Insisted that Sheldon!
Blake show me all the new steps. |
Mr. Blake was very tall, slim, per-!
fectly groomed, and his skin, eyes I
and hair were in shades of rich
brown. He was handsome in a |
vivid, compelling way. The Dicky
Royces were like a pair of little red
brown Pomeranians, snubnosed,
pert, indifferent—altogether sure of
themselves.
With the coffee, Mr. Royce had an
inspiration!
"Salliklns, I must get you one of
those rag monkey-dolls they have
here."
He called the waiter and slipped
a ten-dollar bill conspicuously into
his hand as he asked for the doll.
Precently it was brought—an ugly
image of a sadly ugly little monicey
dressed in green and capped in
scarlet.
Evelyn opened wide her wistful
eyes and stared at the dolly and then
at the men.
"Want one, baby?" asked Mr.
Blake.
"Oh—Evvy can't let Sally have a
dolly If Blie hasn't." lisped Miss
Mason in a fashion that would have
been absurd if another girl had tried
it—but in her little husky voice it
was adorable.
The waiter protested that there
were no more of the monkeys. But
Mr. Blake's twenty-dollar bill jogged
his memory, and he remembered one
more.
"Oh. I pouldn't take it and have
our little bride go without a souve
nir," protested Evelyn with sudden
sweet womanliness. "You give it
to her. Shelly, and maybe Jim will
get one for his old, old —chum."
I saw Jim's face go scarlet—l
knew that he hadn't so much as
twenty dollars with him, for only
thathfternoon he had spoken of hav
ing a check cashed the next morn
ing. I shuddered away from the
proffered doll.
"I know I'm silly—but I detest
monkeys! I'll tell you what I want
for a souvenir of a wonderful eve
ning—one dance with my husband."
I fairly whirled Jim out on the
floor.
"You darling—you clever little
diplomat!" breathed my husband.
He held me close—suffocatingly
close. The music of a waltz set us
gliding out into mystery and ro
mance together.
But as we passed the table I
heard Sally Royce laugh:
"So she has Jim's number al
ready."
And Evelyn's throaty voice mur
mured:
"Poor kiddie!"

THE KAISER AS I KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D, S.
THE KAISER'S DUAL PERSONALITY
CHAPTER IV
If I had come away from Germany
in January, 1914, instead of in Janu
ary, 1918, and had written the im
pression I had gained of the Kaiser
in the ten years I had known him,
what a false picture I would have
painted of the man as he really is!
It would have been a picture of a
man who in general appearance and
bearing was every inch an emperor
and yet who could exhibit all the
courtesy, affability and gentleness of
the most democratic gentleman, a man
soft of eye and kindly in expression,
a man of wide reading and attain
ments —perhaps the most versatile
man in the world, a man who pos
sessed a most alert mind, a remark
able memory and the keenest obser
vation; a man who'was not generous
in nature and yet was at times con
siderate of others; a man of charm
ing personality and amiability. It
would have shown a man of unpar
alleled egotism, a man who was im
patient of correction and who would
brook no opposition. There might
have been in the picture a suggestion
of the dire lengths to which the man
would go to have his way, but it
would have been only a suggestion.
As far as it went, the picture would
have been accurate, but it would have
been sadly incomplete—with all the
lights worked in but lacking all the
shadows.
It took the war and its attendant
horrors to reveal the Kaiser in his
true colors. The war did not change
his character; it uncovered it.
'Early in my practice I happened to
mention to the Kaiser that I appre
ciated the friendliness he showed me
in invariably waving his hand at me
as he passed my window when walk
ing along the Tiergarten.
"It's a good advertisement for you,
Davis," he said. "The people see me
waving to you and they know you
must be a good dentist or I wouldn't
come to you. It will help your busi
ness!" In every act, he was con
scious of the public.
During that period of my career in
Berlin, he showed the utmost interest
in my progress and frequently In
quired how my practice was develop-
As I have previously mentioned,
whenever the Kaiser came to me. it
meant a re-arrangement of my sched
ule for the day. None of my patients
could enter my office while he was on
the premises, and although the pres
tige I got from the Kaiser's patron
age more than made up, perhaps, for
temporary inconvenience his visits In
variably caused, he endeavored to
minimize the disturbance by coming
as early in the day as possible. Some
times he came before breakfast. On
one occasion, in midsummer, he
came at five in the morning. Just be
fore going to peace-time army maneu
ver. He seldom, if ever, came later
than nine o'clock, and he said he
visited me early so as to upset my
plans as little as possible.
The first bill I rendered him. as I
have mentioned, he doubled. On a

number of subsequent occasions, he
paid me more than my bill called for.
These over-payments never amounted
to very much, but they impressed me
because they were so out of keeping
with the stinginess the Kaiser dis
played in other directions.
From time to time the Kaiser sent
or brought me autographed pictures
of himself or others. At the time of
the one hundredth anniversary of
Frederick the Great, he gave me a
picture of that monarch. On another
occasion, he presented me with a
group picture of himself surrounded
by his family and dogs. I remember
his bringing to me a large unframed
picture ih celebration of his silver
wedding. It was about twenty-four
by eighteen inches in size. It show
ed the Kaiserin and himself In a sort
of cloud floating above a birdseye
view of Berlin, with the Palace and
the Cathedral dimly seen below.
I don't know just what this master
piece was meant to signify, but I had
it framed and placed it in my office.
It evoked from a little boy who en
tered the room with his mother the
following astonished remark: Oh,
mother, look at the Kaiser in
Heaven!"
A postcard picture of the Kaiser,
signed by his own hand, was in his
own estimation one of the most price
less gifts he could bestow. I re
member his donating one of them to
hn American charity bazar in Berlin
to be auctioned off. He thought that
the fact that the card came from his
Imperial majesty gave it a value
which could not be measured in dol
lars and cents. A piece of jewelry
or a sum of money might have been
duplicated or even excelled by a gift
of similar character from any Ameri
■can millionaire —for whose wealth
the Kaiser frequently expressed the
utmost contempt—but what could
surpass the value of an.autograph of
the Kaiser!
No doubt the royal banquets were
prepared much updn the same princi
ple, for it was a common saying
among the German aristocracy that
one had better feel well before going
to a banquet at the Palace.
I happened to mention to the Kais
er the reputation his banquets held
among his people. He was not as all
taken aback.
"That's good!" he commented. "The
Germans are too fat, anyway. The
majority of the people eat too much."
Long after automobillng became
more or less general, the Kaiser still
employed a horse and carriage for
ordinary travel, relying upon his free
use of the railways for longer dis
tances. When, however, the Reichs
tag passed a law compelling royalty
to pay for their railroad travel, the
Kaiser took to automobiles. They
charged him 11,000 marks, h e told
me, for the use of a train on one of
his shooting trips, and that apparent
ly was more than he could stand.
"Autos are expensive," he declared,
"but they don't cost me that much!"
When the Kaiser came to hire a
head chauffeur, he wanted the best
man he could find. A man named
Weber, who had been.employed by an
American millionaire, was recom
mended to him. Perhaps the Kaiser
figured that the privilege of working
for him was in itself liberal remun
eration. Certain it is that the salary
be offered Weber would never have
satisfied a chauffeur who had been ac
customed to the American scale of
compensation, and the Kaiser would
undoubtedly have had to get another
man had not the motorcar company
whose models the Kaiser was using
and who thought it would be a wise
policy, literally speaking, to have "a
friend at court" agreed to pay Weber
a large sum each year in addition to
what the Kaiser offered him if he
would take the position. He took it
I have this story on the authority of
One of the directors of the motorcar
company in question.
The Kaiser speaks English with
but the slightest trace of a foreign
accent. His diction is perfect. He
speaks French, too, very fluently, and,
I believe, Italian. He Is widely read
on almost all subjects and knows the
literature of Egland, France and
America as well as that of Germany
Mark Twain was one of his favorite
American authors and Longfellow his
choice of American poets.
He prides himself on his acquain
tance with history and has little re
spect for the political opinions of
others whose knowledge of history is
less complete.
Shortly after Carnegie had donated
five million marks to Germany to fur
ther world-peace. I happened to be
talking to the Kaiser of American
millionaires and the steel-master was
mentioned.
"Of course. Carnegie is a nice old
man and means well." remarked the
Kaiser, condescendingly, "but he is
totally ignorant of world history.
He's just advanced us five million for
world-pie<se. We accepted it natur
ally, but, of course, we Intend to con
tinue our policy of maintaining our
army and navy in full strength."
j Indeed, there is hardly any subject
[to which the Kaiser has devoted any
considerable attention in which h„<
doesn't regard himself as the final au
thorlty.
As an ajt collector and antiquarian
he claims first place and he is rather
inclined to feel that second place
should be left vacant. He always re
sented much the acquisition by
American millionaires of art treas
ures and antiquities which their
wealth enabled them to buy, but
which their limited acquaintances
with history and their lack of cul
ture and refinement made them un
able to appreciate—ln the Kaiser's
estimation.
Of his own taste in art little need
be said. The monuments which he
caused to be erected to his ancestors
and their advisors and which adorn
the Sieges Ailee, the street he had
opened through the Tiergarten espe
cially for them, are at the same time
a monument to the Kaiser's ideas of
art. They are the laughing-stock of
the artistic world. They have been
so frequently defaced by vandals
whose artistic taste they offended
that it was necessary to station po
licemen in the Sieges Ailee to guard
them. Not long ago a burglary oc
curred in the vicinity. The burglars
were observed while at work and a
startled civilian rushed to the Sieges
Ailee to summon one of the officers
who were known to be on guard
there.
"If you hurry," exclaimed the civil
ian, excitedly, "you can catch these
burglars red-handed."
"I'm sorry," replied the policeman,
"but I cannot leave the statues."
Realism is the Kaiser's idea of
what is most desirable in dramatic
art. When he put on "Sardanapal,"
a Greek tragedy in pantomime, at
the Berlin Opera House, he sent pro
fessors to the British Museum to se
cure the most detailed information
available regarding the costumes of
the period. Every utensil, every ar
ticle of wearing apparel, every but
ton, every weapon, in fact, every
property used in the play were to be
faithfully reproduced, particular pains
being taken to produce a most rea
listic effect in a funeral pyre scene
in which a king ended his life. The
Kaiser sent me tickets to see it.
King Edward attended the per
formance at the Berlin Royal Opera
and I asked the Kaiser how the King
of England enjoyed it.
"My gracious," the Kaiser replied,
unable to repress his satisfaction at
the effect the pantomime had had on
his royal uncle, "why, tho King was
very much alarmed when the funeral
pyre scene came on. He thought the
whole opera house was oq lire!"
Perhaps the Kaiser's love for de
tails might be attributed to his keen
observation. Nothing, no matter how
trivial, escaped his attention.
A couple of years before the war I
had the Empire furniture in my wait
ing-room re-upholstered. On the very
first occasion of the Kaiser's calling
at my office after the change he
noticed it.
"My, my, how beautiful the chairs
look!" he exclaimed. "Good enough
for Napoleon himself."
On another occasion, between two
of the Kaiser's visits, I had had put
up in the waitingroom a new por
trait of Mrs. Davis. The Kaiser no
ticed it the moment he came into the
room and made some complimentary
remark about it.

SYRUPS FOR CANNING FRUITS
Fruits may be satisfactorily can
ned without sugar, and those put up
especially for young children might
better have sugar omitted. The adult
taste requires sweetened fruit and
less sugar is required if the fruit is
sweetened when canned. Sugar is
added in syrup form when the prod
uct is canned and permeates it well
during the processing or sterilizing.
It is more economical to can fruits
I with rather than to add sugar
when using. Send for a free canning
: manual which the National War Gar
den Commission, Washington, will
send you for a 2-cent stamp to cover
postage.
In directions given, various grades
lof syrup are mentioned. These are
in the following proportions:
Thin —One part sugar to four parts
water.
Medium—One part sugar to two
parts water.
Thick—One part sugar to one part
water.
In making the syrup have the
water boiling, then add the sugar
very gradually. Stir constantly, keep
ing the liquid boiling, until all of the
sugar is dissolved. A clear syrup,
which rarely needs skimming, results
] if this method is used.
Thin syrups are used for all sweet
j fruits such as cherries, peaches and
I apples. Use medium syrups with!
sour fruits, such as strawberries, |
gooseberries, apricots. Thick syrup
is suitable' for preserving and espe
cially sun-cooked preserves. Thin
syrup is not sticky; medium syrup is
sticky when cooled on spoon; thick
syrup when poured has a thickened
appearance.
Care should be taken while using
the syrups. The liquid should be add
ed boiling hot to the filled jars, but
