As Jim ond I left the tea room of the V\ ulgravo, we walked side by aide —yet mile? apart. A iiuurrol could not have estranged us moro completely than my silent rejection of Betty Bryce's offer, and Jim's equally silent championship of his friend. I had refused her apart ment —and Jlni had the keys in his pocket. Suddenly a voice hailed us: "Jim Harrison! Hello, old chap!" There swas warmth and real affec tion in tho tone. The speaker was a tall Englishman of about thirty, i liked his voice—l liked his looks —I '.'ked everything about him! Jim stopped with an air bf Jealous greeting, which indicated a certain relief in getting away from the ex clusive society of Mrs. Harrison. "Winston! Terry, old chap. This Is great"- A minute later the two men were j shaking hands with honest devo-1 tion. "My wife-—Captain Winston," said Jim, introducing us. "Terry Win ston was my hankie in the Royal Flying Corps—tho very best friend I ever had." I could read in his voice a plead ing eagerness that I be nice to Cap tain Winston. And some flicker of humor made me realize that I must have been pretty beastly to most of his friends to make Jim worry about my attitude toward this hand some blond giant. "Mrs. Jimmie! Well, if irhis Isn't a bit of all right! To come over here and to find my pal with a little wife. I didn't think Jimmie was a lady's ntan —but that's the kind that always has the real luck in the end." His words, his strong hand clasp, his steady blue eyes, put me at ease. I knew that in Captain Terry Win- Eton I had found a friend. Presently it was arranged that Jim should run over to the Army and Navy Club with him to say hello to a few of "the boys," and that at seven my husband and I were to be Captain Winston's guests at the Carlton Roof. I hurried upstairs to make myself fine. Under our door there was a long official looking white envelope. I picked it up curiously. It was ad dressed to Lieutenant J. H. Harri son. A wife must not open her hus band's letter but she may study 4£ieir .postmarks. In the left hand corner of the envelope there was printed: "War Department—Office of the Adjutant General." What could it mean? Why should the Adjutant General be writing to my boy? Suddenly conviction swept over me. Jim was no longer fit for duty, lie could never fly again.

I tried to picture my boy in civilian's clothes—"Fearless Jim" without his uniform. It seemed unthinkable!

I would hide tho letter and give it to Jim when wo came around that night. Later I upplauded my own de cision. For when Captain"Winston talked about goln;, "back to the front after three months' recruiting work over here and fairly included Jim in his plans, 1 could see how Joyously, how hopefully my hus band responded. Only one incident marred the delightful dinner. Cap tain Winston asked about "Mrs. —er —er Bryce—" and then looked at me in evident embarrassment. But I managed to seem unconscious of that. Home at eleven—happy, pleased with each other and the world. Tho incident of the ketfs forgotton. For | a while 1 had even'forgotten the letter and the pain it must cause' Jim. But now the time had come when 1 must give that letter to him. I tried to find words to help him. "Jlmmie-lad. I've a letter for you—from the War Department. Whatever it says, dear, remember that I love you. I'm going to stand by, Jim, and be a real wife —the kind ot a wife a soldier—needs." Jim took the envelope with fingers i that trembled. He tore open thel envelope, brought out a single typed! sheet and ran his eyes over it. Then he looked up, a triumphant flash i lighting his face. "It's from the Adjutant General's, office. I'm ordered to Washington, j They've convened a board to ex-! amine me." "To examine you?" I cried. "Yes; to pass on my fitness forj active service." Jim's voice was, quiet—resigned I thought. "That would mean you must go; across again. It wouldn't be fair. I'm sure they'll see that. You've | done your bit. They • haven't any right to take you again!" The words' rasped their way past my dry lips. "I'm not sure that they'll takoi me. 1 think I'm lit—" began Jim. ! I interrupted—l wanted to scream 1 wild protests—but Jim looked so calm and steady that I felt I must at least pretend to be. "Why, they won't take you, dear; they couldn't! Any one can see that I you aren't fit to serve. My Jimmie' has dono enough." I meant to comfort him. Then Jim I came a 3tep nearer. There were red; stains high on his cheekbones. His| eyes flashed—but I was so caught! in the turmoil of my own pain thatl I didn't understand. "You think I'm a cripple. Anne?

Even then I couldn't believe what I heard. I flung my arms around Jim as if I could hold him against the world. 1 hadn't realized that 1 could hold him—against his own desire. "They can't take you—it would be, too cruel! You'll be able to get out, of it —won't you?" "Anne!" he cried; and again.. Anne! You said you would help] me like a soldier's wife." Then I understood.

They were powerless to hold Jim —but they] must be strong enough to suppo.-ti me, as I swayed back against the] bureau and felt a sharp corner press-1 ing against me. I cried aloud in frightened pro-i test: "Then you want to go? Y'ou want, to leave me? Perhaps—perhaps they| aren't forcing you at all! Perhaps you—asked them to take you!" (To Be Continued.)

(Copyright, 1918, by the MeClure Newspaper Syndicate) (Continued.) That the Kaiser's Jealousy was founded on sufficient reason. I had convincing evidence shortly before I left Berlin. I saw the Kaiser driv ing up Unter der Einden on his way to the palace. He was greeted by re-. speotful salutes from the people he passed but there was nothing in the way of a demonstration. A few moments later General von Hinden burg came along. He was evidently on his way to a conference with the Kaiser. As he passed, he was met with jubilant cheers and people threw their hats in the air to show their admiration for the hero who had done so much to vindicate Ger many's boasted military superiority. I have referred in a previous chap ter to the Kaiser's unbounded con fidence • after the Italian collapse in 1917. "Now, we've got the Allies!" he exclaimed, with an air of con clusiveness which emphasized the optimism he displayed. After the capture of Roumania, he exhibited a similar degree of exulta tion. He believed that in that achievement he had successfully solved the food problem—the one cloud which constantly darkened the Kaiser's horizon. "Now the Allies will' never suc ceed in Starving us," he said to me, in my office, shortly after the Rou manian drive. "With Roumania in our pockets and Servia already ours, their wonderful agricultural possi bilities will supply our food needs and foil our enemies' efforts to starve us. Indeed, they had better look out for themselves. Don't forget we have a monopoly on the potash mines of the world. Without proper fertili zation, American frops will go on decreasing and' they won't get any potash until we get ready to let them have it!" The failure of the Zeppelins from a military standpoint was undoubt edly a great disappointment to the German people at large, who had counted so much upon them to bring disaster to England, but it can not be said that the Kaiser shared their chagrin. On the contrary, I have reason to believe that he never expected very much from that arm of his military force except as it might be useful to terrorize the civil population. A day s or two after Zeppelin's death, in 1917, a patient of mine, a lady, happened to remark that it was too bad that the Count had not lived to see the triumph of his in vention, and when I saw the Kaiser shortly afterwards I repeated her remark to see what he would sa.y. "X am convinced that the Count lived long enough to see all that the Zeppelins were capable of accom plishing," was his only comment. It recalled the answer he had given me some years before ♦Tien both Zeppelins and aeroplanes were In their infancy and T had asked him which held the greater promise. "We do not know. Time alone will tell," was his reply. The last time I conversed with the Kaiser was on November 2fi, 1917. Up to that time we had sent over 189,000 troops, according to the fig ures which have since heen revealed by Secretary Baker. According to the Kaiser's information, however, we had only 30,000 men in France at that time and he was of the opin ion that we would never have many more.

Address your letter to Fashion Department, Telegraph, Hax riaburg, Pa "America is having a fine time trying to raise an army," ho de clared satirically. "I hear that 1.000 mutinied tho other day in New York and refused to get on a trans port, and a town in the northwest, composed principally of citizens of Swedish blood, refused to register at all! We are getting excellent in formation about all conditions in America." Shortly before this had come the revelations from Washington of the intrigue of Count von Luxburg, the German minister to Argentina, and 1 knew where the Kaiser was get ting the information he referred to. In nearly every ease, it appeared, the Kaiser's informants were mis leading him. Both before and after we entered the war, the Kaiser was thoroughly convinced that we could play only a nominal part in it so far as man power was concerned and his assur ance on that point undoubtedly ac counted for his decision to carry through the submarine program even though it resulted in bringing us into the war. "Do you realize how many tons of shipping It takes to ship a single soldier?" he asked me on one oc casion. 1 confessed my ignorance on that point. "Well, it takes six tons to the man! To send over an army of 500,000 men, therefore, your coun try would require 3,000,000 tons of shipping Jn addition to the tonnage required for regular traffic. Where is it coming from, with my subma rines sinking the allied vessels faster than they can ever be replaced? My U-boats are doing wonderful work and we are prepared to take care of all the troops America may ty to land in France." "How foolish for America to have come into the war," he went on. "If she could succeed in landing a real army in France, what good would it do? America can see now how easy it was for me to break through and to capture 300,000 of the Italians, and they must realize that I can break through on the western front and do the same thing there. If America had kept out of the war she would have gone on making untold profits and when peace was finally declared she would have been in a most enviable posi tion among the nations of the world. As it 'is, Wilson will never have a seat at the peace table, if I can help It and now America will have to pay all the costs of the war!" Evident ly he imagined that his triumph would he so complete that there would he no peace table hut that the warring nations would he com pelled to accept the terms he offered them in which event, knowing the magnanimity of the German make up, I should say the world at large would have to be content with very little. How the Kaiser feels now that'tho failure of the U-hoats to Intercept American troop ships must he pain fully apparent to him and America has so overwhelmingly overcome the shortage of shipping, I don't know, but it is more than probable that for some time time to come the real situation will, at any rate, be suc cessfiiily concealed from the Ger man people. I know that the failure of the U-boat campaign was un known to the Germans up to the time I left Berlin—in January, 1918. Ijosses of U-hoats were never ac- curately announced, while the de struction of allied vessels was al ways reported in terms of carrying capacity rather than in the displace ment of the vessels, which was one of the factors accounting for the dis crepancy between the German esti mates of our shipping losses and our own figures and which disposes of the charge that the Allied naval authorities concealed the true ex lent of our punishment at the hands of the U-boats. The fact that the Germans mag nified their XT-boat activity was brought out by socialist members of the Reichstag. They declared that U-boat commanders returning from their trips invariably gave false re ports to make themselves heroes. They declared that these command ers were like the imaginative fisher men who no matter what poor luck they might encounter were apt to cme back with exaggerated stories of huge catches. Tn this connection. T may mention that an Englishman who had been ijitcrned at Ruhlebon camp told me that an English sailor there had kept an accurate list from day to day of all the boats sunk as pub lished in the German papers. An analysis revealed that one ship had been sunk no less than five times! He had been skipper on another boat reported sunk. According to the German papers it was a 500-ton vessel. In point of fact, he declar de. it was only 90 tons. "How many submarines do you think we have really lost to date?" T was asked, around Christmas. 1917, by a German who was a personal friend of Maximilian Harden. I replied that I had heard that | 1 1 I_' 1 I Without Scrubbing NO matter how big the wash or how soiled the linen, 20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips will put your clothes on the line snowy white—with all the hard work of wash day left out.

"I have inside Information which Is not publicly known; we have lost exactly six." While the Kaiser and the Germans generally felt confident that we would never he able to send many men across, they professed to feel little concern if we did. According to some of the German officers with whom 1 spoke, even if we landed 2,000,000 men in France, it would not ho enough to break tho deadlock, as the Germans were tak ing a similar number of trained troops from the Russian front. The only menace of American participa tion in the war lay in the possibil ity that we might add considerably to the Allied air strength. Man power alone, they contended, would never be sufficient to help the Allies much, but overwhelming su periority in the air might oecasioln the Germans some annoyance. The Kaiser himself had but a poor opinion of the fighting quali ties of the American soldier so far as modern requirements are con cerned. "The American soldier would pos sibly give a good account of him self in open fighting," he declared, "but he Is not built for the kind of warfare he will encounter in France. He lacks the stolidity to endure life in the trenches. lie is too high strung and couldn't stand tho in active life which is such an impor tant part of modern warfare. Be sides ho lacks discipline and trained officers." The Kaiser's views on these points serve to explain the confidence he felt and displayed right up to the time I saw him last, but so much has happened within the few months that have since elapsed that I can not believe ho feels the same way to-day. lie must realize now that he was wrong when he said we would not he able to raise a great army, he was wrong when he said we would not lie able to get enough ships to ferry them across, he was wrong when he said his U-boats would pre vent their landing in France, and he was wrong when he said our men would not be able to adapt them selves to modern warfare! With a million men on the firing line to day and enough ships built or build ing to carry another million and a half now under arms, the power of America must present to the Kaiser a very different aspect than it ever bore before, and his arrogant spirit must be wavering now that he rea lizes what :# vast mistake he made when he forced the United States to take up arms against him. CHAPTER X The Kaiser's I'luii For World Dominion The history of modern Germany is, perhaps, in itself sufficient indi cation of the underlying plan of the Teuton war barons to control the whole of Europe and. eventually, the world. The program has been slowly unfolding itself since the time of Frederick the Great and the pres ent generation is now witnessing what was intended to be the climax. (JTo Re Continued.)
