Jumping up hastily, she glanced at her watch. She had slept an hour later than usual. The household I nust. already be at the taole. Mrs. I Ch'apin had been too lenient to call her. Dressing hastily, she hurried down- ] stairs. She had been right. Amos and i Martha Chapin and their guest were j still at table, but had almost finished their morning repast. Oh. Mrs. Chapin. 1 am so sorry 1 am late!" the girl apologized as she; entered the dining room. Something in Mrs. Chapin's face re- . minded Elizabeth that she had not called her Cousin Martha." She glanced hastily at John Butler, hue* e had. apparently, not noticed the ! lapse. He had risen to her entrance, and ; row stood waiting for her to sit down. He was rather pale, she fancied, yet. as she met his glance, he smiled. [ and she was conscious of a sensation of immense relief. No matter what Clifford had told htm. John Butler was not angry at her. "1 put your breakfast in the oven to keep it hot for you. dearie." Mrs. Chapin informed her. "I'll get it for you." "Indeed you will not." the girl de clared affectionately. "I overslept shamefully—and the penalty must be that 1 wait on myself don't you Bee?" May 1 not help?" Butler asked. Elizabeth shook her head. "No please not! Don't punish my tardi- , ress by letting me feel that 1 am in- | conveniencing other people. Please gH down." He obeyed her request without a demur. She knew that Clifford Chap- .

He was never of ficious. she reflected gratefully. A Hungry Dog As she went into the kitchen a growl from the back porch startled her. The outer door was open, but the screen door was closed. Pressed against this, and looking into the kitchen hungrily, was Sulov Talak's dog. "Go away, sir!" she commanded, remembering that Amos Chaptn had forbidden his presence near the house. As she spoke, Talak appeared be side the dog. "1 heard you," he grinned. "You give Nig some breakfast now, won't you?" She hesitated. "I don't think Mr. Chapin wants him fed here," she said. Then, with a shudder as she lemembercd her last encounter with this half-witted farmhand. "Take him back to the barn and feed him down there." Instead of obeying, the Pole patted his dog. "Speak. Nig." he urged. "Speak to de lady!" Nig gave vent to a mixture be tween a yelp and a bark. At the 1 sound Amos Chaplin appeared in the door leading into the dining room. "Take that dog away!" he began. But at his first word. Talak disap peared around the corner of the house. Not so the dog. He stood on the mat, growling, his eyes on the man whose dislike for him he seemed to understand. "Perhaps lie is hungry as Talak suggested." Elizabeth ventured. "Then Talak should have fed him when he had his own breakfust two hours ago," the farmer asserted. "He's too soft with that dog—wants him to have meat and such things as we eat. 1 won't have the beast coming here." Striding across the floor, he pushed across the screen door to open it. As he did so, the huge dog sprang against the wire screening, his witight tearing it loose on one side. With a muttered oath, Amos rush-j cd out of the kitchen by the door I opening upon the side porch, and, to the dog's surprise, appeared a sec ond later upon the back steps. He Shoots the Dog "Get out of here, you brute!" the farmer exclaimed. The dog showed his teeth, crouch- I lng as if to spring. On the little porch at the head of the steps, stood Amos Chapin's load ed shotgun. He had taken it down to the i meadow early this morning to shoot some crows that had awakened him by their persistent cawing. By the time he had reached their assem-1 bling-place. they had gone. When he j returned to the house, breakfast was , ready. He was hungry, and it was! later than he was used to breaking | his morning fast. Without waiting to unload the gun he stood it against the porchrailing. ' Nobody would be out here before he i had finished his breakfast.' He might have a chanee at those crows after a ! while. An evil light in the dog's eyes now startled him as he approached him. He would stand no nonsense from this dirty beast. The torn screen door added to Amos Chapin's anger. That would mean more money out of his pocket. His pocket-nerve was extremely sen sitive. "Get out of here!" he roared, again, seizing the gun and pointing it at the animal. With a howl of rage, the dog sprang straight at him. And. as he did so, Amos pulled the trigger of the shotgun. The huge body leaped fully a foot in the air. then fell over on its side and rolled heavily down the steps. For an instant it twitched, then lay still.

DAVIS, D. D. S. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClnre Newspaper Syndicate) I Continued, i Back I went to the hotel and ex plained the situation, offering to show the clerk the letter and tele gram I had received from the Kai serin, but they refused to look at the papers and suggested that I go back to the police station, ring the | bell to arouse some one and register j in compliance with the regulations. I There was nothing to do but con P'y. I and it was nearly two in the morn- ; ing before 1 finally got to bed and I , had to 1 ise early to catch m> train, j The consequence was that when 1 j arrived at Homburg 1 was not onl> j tired but rather displeased. A big Mercedes car, which was w*aiting for : me at the station, took me to the j palace, where I was given two rooms j on the ground floor, a bedroom and a sittingroom. They were simply ■ furnished but cojnmanded a splen- j did view of the grounds. Second breakfast was waiting for me and j consisted of white bread and cold! meats and cold Mosel wine. I may , say here that all the food I had I during the three days I remained at j the palace was of pre-war quality. | and there was no evidence that the j ■royal household was suffering in the slightest degree fiom tee food shortage which was causing the peo ple at large so much distress. After breakfast 1 was conducted upstairs to a magnificent Oriental room, the doors and walls of which were richly inlaid with old woods and which contained a number of | Oriental relics and works of art. A subdued light added to the effect. | The Empress came in and greeted me more cordially than usual, in- ( quiring whether I had | any difficulty in getting to Homburg. ! I told her what my experience j had been and she expressed surprise, j stating that she had given orders to General von Kessel, the com mander of the Province of Branden burg. to se that everything was ar ranged so that I would suffer no inconvenience on the way. Xo doubt V> s T Vin/1 KoAn /M-arlnnlfOil the reason I had been overlooked by that old general—he was seventy six—was because he was very much occupied just then in his coming nuptials with a young woman of j thirty-six. I arranged a large upholstered j chair rear a window overlooking ■ the beautiful park at the rear of the j castle, but the Kaiserin would not | be seated until her maid. Martha, had left the room, and she seemed very determined that none of her servants should be aware of the na ture of the work I was doing for her. When it was found that I needed a table in connection with my work, the Empress summoned Martha loudly. When the maid appeared she was directed imperiously to "go to Majesty's room and bring the small mahogany table which Is there." I noticed that the Empress always referred to the Kaiser as "Majesty" when addressing the serv ants instead of saying "his Majesty." as is more customary, but perhaps the "supreme war lord" was entitled to less deference in his own house- [ hold. During the time I was there I could not help observing how ex- ] tremely timid the servants seemed j to be of the Kaiserin. One expected | to find the utmost servility among | the Kaiser's underlings, but I con- | fess it came rather as a shock to me l to see the maids walking so timidly I and talking so fearfully when in the I presence of their white-haired royal | mistress. I noted particularly howl very, gently they knocked at the door | before entering and how, after | knoking. they immediately placed I their heads against the panel that! they might catch the Kaiserin's low | command to enter the first time, I "I HAD SUCH AWFUL SICK HEADACHES" HE SAYS Tunlac Brought Him Relief After He Had About Given l"p Hope SUFFERED A LONG TIME "Yes. siree, I'm feeling fine these days and going strong," says Louis T. Lacob. a popular grocery clerk, j of Second and Eleanor streets, Steel ton, Pa. "I'd tried a lot of things without ] doing me any good, but I heard such | a lot of talk around the store about j Tanlac that I said to myself, "Lou. let's try it." "Say, it worked like magic. Just seemed to get busy right away and give me a thorough overhauling and now I feel simply great. No aches, no pains, and an appetite like a horse. Tanlac is sure great." Tanlac is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store. and so make it unnecessary for her to repeat it. Their demeanor was particularly noticeable because thej Kaiserin never seemed to display the ; slightest impatience or ill-temper j when dealing with her servants. In- j deed, she seemed to me to act no j differently from the humblest haus- j frau in the country. In the course of my work on tne; Empress I frequently had to stop! while she perused a telegram or; message that had been brought inj to her. While, of course. 1 made no| effort to pry into the communica-. tions she was reading, she usually, held them ia such a manner that it would have been difficult for me to| have so had I so desired, but I could j not help noticing part of the con- i tents of one of the telegrams. Itj was from \ on Gontard, the adjutant, | and began: "The English are at tacking on cur left," from which I inferred that the Empress was being, kept informed of all developments in the military situation. The Kaiserin spent a good deal of; time in the military hospitals and sometimes spoke of the horrors of, war, but never discussed any of the' political phases of the conflict. She asked many questions about the churches and home life in America, ■ and told me of the pleasure with which she looked forward to the: coming baptism of her daughter's two-months eld baby at Braun- ■ schweig, where she was going for the occasion. She asked about bap-; tism in America, and was shocked when I told her I had not been bap-; tized until 1 was five years of age. Before I left Homburg, the asged me whether I wa scomfortably situ-' ated and if everything was all right for me- I told her that everything; was quite satisfactory and mentioned particularly how nice it was to have i food exactly as we had had it before; the war. "Yes, she replied, "we have every-! thing. lam very careful what I eat.. I watch my health very closely." I remarked, too, how wonderful it 0 MAKING THE MOST OF /-\ OUR CHILDREN V A Series of Plain Talks to | Ray C. Beery, A.8., J President of the Parents Association. (Copyrighted. 1918. by The Parents Association, Inc.) Xo. 15. Can You Make a Child Stop Crying? BEAUTIFUL noise," a little boy 11 know called music, but. all 1 noise is not beautiful, and cer- l , tainly the noise of a crying child is i ! anything but music. I There is nothing more aggravating 1 jto the parent and more unwholesome ] I for the child and more generally dis- 1 | concerting to everyone within hear- j J ing distance, than a child's or baby's ! 1 I continued crying. Some children be- ! , j come expert in producing varied i tune effects. Some even seem to en-' | joy crying. | A short cry now and then doesn't ' huft a child and should cause the i { parent no anxiety. But the crying ! i habit should be broken by all means. 11 "Our four-year-old daughter cries |; at the least provocation and doesn't 11 know when to quit," writes one j ] mother. "Can you give me a plan to I break her of this habit?" If you want to cure your child of ! . crying, avoid what seems generally j to provoke the crying, at least for a j few days while you are trying to break the habit. Better also speak j to your family physician about diet. | i Just after you take the child to 1 bed and both of you are in a very ' happy spirit, before bidding her good j night, say: "Oh, yes, I have something else I good to tell you. You are now old enough to begin playing like and acting like a grown-up woman. Be ginning with to-morrow morning, you are not going to cry any more, unless you are badly hurt. Of course, if we are badly hurt, we can't help crying, but unless we are, we won't cry. You are now big enough to act like a woman, so mother does not want you to cry any more unless you have something to cry about. And you don't want to cry any more un less you have something to cry about do you? No. of course not. All right, we'll both remember that. .Be ginning to-morrow, we'll both try to must be to have sixty palaces like the Homburg estamlishment, the I beauties of which had deeply Im | pressed mo, adding: "His Majesty, i I understand, has sixty of them, bas he not" "Not quite sixty," she corrected. | "Between fifty, and sixty." I Between fifty and sixty palaces! | • 1 could not help thinking of the rc- j ! mark the Kaiser once made to me | i when talking of the manner in which j 1 American millionaires made their; | fortunes! "It breeds socialism 1" i i When the time came for me to re- j | turn to Berlin, the Kaiserin bade me! | adieu but uttered not a word of, i thinks for my having given up my; , practice for three days to work ex- j j clusively for her. All the time I was at Homburg thej. I Kaiser was at the adjoining town of; I Kreuznach aud so I had no oppot-| 1 tunity of observing the two of them ! together on this occasion. It diu ; occur to me, however, that the Ern l press looked better and happier than j 1 had ever seen her before the war, and I attributed the improvement in i her general condition to the fact, that the Ka:ser now seemed to de- \ pend upon her more than he ever] did before. No doubt the Kaiser had always I ! shown respect for his royal partner. I ]! He had had a statue of her erected in the Ticrgarten, some of the beau tiful trees having been cut down to | make room for the rose-garden In j ' the center of which the statue was placed. The Kaiserin was portrayed) j in the prevailing style of the time, 1 and as fashions changed, her attire) 1 j became more and more out of date , and looked more or less ludicrous to the public. I never believed, ■I that there was any particular affec i tion between them and the Empress ; always impressed me as deriving her greatest happiness in looking after | her homes, her children and her grandchildren. The papers con ! stantly referred to the activities of ! the Empress in visiting hospitals, children's homes and homes for the] be happy all the time and not cry or feel badly at all. "And since you are going to begin acting like a little lady, let's have some fun dressing up like a grown up lady, to-morrow. Shall we? All right, if you act like a little woman all forenoon, we'll dress up in the afternoon. I can hardly wait until to-morrow." Then leave her to dream about the idea which you have lodged. The next morning, almost before she even has time to cry, begin to approve her on her success in acting the part of a grown-up woman. "Well. I should say you CAN act like ! a little woman—you haven't even whimpered—and we're not GOING to either, are we? No indeed.' Smile, make it a point to show her the best time possible. XJake this the hap piest day of her life. Keep lodging the suggestion that you both are happier than ever before. If at any time she should start to i cry. approach her with a very opti- I mistic and cheerful attitude. With a handkerchief in your hand, say, j "Now, just wait a minute, we'll fix I this up in a hurry. We don't need to cry any more at all. We'll just fix j it all up right away. We'll wipe this ' little tear off and that little tear off over there—like that—and then It will be all over." Repeat the suggestion that it is "all over" until you see some effect Then divert her mind to Something : from herself. Spend a few minutes talking with the child about her progress for sev eral evenings at bedtime. Let her begin each new day with a clean slate. If she has cried during the day say, "We had trouble once to day but we'll do better to-morrow, won't we?" The first day she passes without crying, speak of it as a great victory. Tell others in her presence that she has passed out of the crying stage. Your saying so will help her to final victory.

The people respect their Empress and admire her for her charitable acts, but they have not the reverance for her that they have for the Kai ser. She has the reputation of being unbending, and the comment was frequently made: "She need not be iso haughty. She occupied no posi tion until the Kaiser married her." The last time I saw her was at the Bellevue Palace, in Berlin, where I was summoned but a few days be fore I left that city, in January of this yea-. Since the war they occu pied the Bellevue Palace when in that city because it required fewer servants. There was an atmosphere of sadness about her that day which impressed me forcibly, and I won i dered if her feminine intuition had j not perhaps given her an insight into i the future which had been denied j the Kaiser and left him unperturbed.
