I don't know what It was—friend
ly and fine, as Tom Mason's hand
clasp seemed to be—that impelled
me to insist: that I must return to
the Walgrave at once.
I managed to do it so casually
that he took no offense at my sud
den haste and insisted on escorting
me on my homeward journey. Aai
he remained jolly and friendly even
■when I askea for the refusal of his
apartment foi a day or two.
"I'd like to talk it over with Jim"
I confessed.
He smiled in big brotherly fash-
Ion:
"Nice little old-fashioned wife. Of
course vou shall talk it over with
' Jim."
Then still with courteous and im
personul friendliness, he took me
to the desk and waited while I got
my key. The clerk handed me a
. sealed hotel envelope.
"Captain Winston has telephoned
twice and wished you to call the
Army and Navy Club as soon as
you come in," he said, with some
thing very like a sneer. Then he
added, "Your friends are not letting
you miss the Lieutenant too much,
are they?"
Perhaps he was only over anxious

H. J. Brown, a Cleveland man, was
for many years a confirmed drunkard.
His friends and relatives despaired
of ever redeeming him. His sister
sought the best medical men in
Kurope in the hope that she might
find something which would cure
him. Finally she was recommended
to an eminent chemist, who gave her
n private formula (the same as ap
pears below) and told her how to
use it. She had it filled at the drug
store and gave it to him secretly. The
results were startling. In a few
weeks he was completely cured. That i
was over eight years ago and he has
no touched a drop since. He now
occupies a position of trust and is
enthusiastic in his efforts to help oth
ers overcome the liquor habit. He |

to offer a guest "every possible
courtesy!" But his officiousness
brought home to me very poignant
ly the fact that I did not want to
live in a glittering big hotel a day
longer than I must.
As soon as I got to my room )
called Captain Winston and found
he was giving a dinner for some
officers and their wives that even
ing and wanted Jim and me to come.
I could not bear the thought of see
ing happy married folk together—
while my boy was already long hours
away—and planning to go still fur
ther from me. And X blurted out the
truth.
"You poor little lonely lady! The
dinner is off—positively! My friends
are all a sporting lot. No swank to
'em. They'll let me give the party
another night and comfort the bride
to-night. Not a word. Mrs. Jimmic.
Husband's matey looks after the lit
tle lady to-night."
And he did. We had a beaui.ifui
time. * * * A delicious dinner
seasoned with wonderful tales of a.y
boy's days in the Royal Flying Corps.
Never had I felt closer to Jim. To
Captain Terry Winston I was not a
womar. to admire, but a sister to
protect—above ah the wife of nid
"matey" ' sacred • • He made
me understand the glorious urge
that sweeps the flying man to his
conflicts above the clouds. I felt in
tune with Jim's desire to go hack
to France —I was reconciled to my
sacrifice. That dinner with Captain
Winston on the roof of the Val
briggia gave me a vision of what a
soldier's wife must be * * * I
comprehended.
He told me of the new chivalry
c.t' womanhood the war was calling
to life. Captain Winston spoke rev
erently of all womanhood, a,.d then
there came one woman's name.
"You've seen the scar on Mrs.
Bryce's hand. . That woman drove
her car down a road the Huns were
shelling— shrapnel got her when
she was limping a poor Tommy inio
her aianuiauce. * * *
He stopped speaking abruptly. I
couldn't tell whether the reserve ot
the Britisher had put a period to
his reminiscences or if the emotion
of remembering what he had known
were too great—or if he had sud
denly realized that he was speaking
to Jim Harrison's wife!

to the beautiful woman who had
one powder twice a day in coffee, tea
or any liquid. It is harmless, taste
less, odorless and cannot be detected.
You can use it without, the knowledge
of anyone. A lady who recently
tried it on her husband reports: "My
husband was on a spree when I got
the powders and he usually stays
drunk from three to four weeks at a
time. After putting the powder in
his coffee for four days he sobered
up and has not taken a drink since
and says he is through with it for
ever. He also complained that
whisky did not taste the same. I
shall not tell him what did it, but I
am grateful for this help and I shall
recommend it whenever possible."

* • *
For a second Captain Winston
had lifted the curtain, and then,
with an air of reserve, he dropped
it again.
We had an evening of big—im
personal—emotions. One accident,
cruelly personal, marred it.
When I came to the desk for my
key there again was the insolent
clerk, and talking to him was a
familiar, over-dressed, white-haired
figure, Mrs. Varden.
"I see you got the Captain all
right, Mrs, Harrison," said the clerk.
At the sound of my name Mrs.
Varden turned. "Oh—good evening"
—she purred, focussing her lorgnette
on the British officer. "How nicely
you do manage to while away the
lonely hours, Mrs. Harrison. Well,
I suppose our Jimmie knows how to
amuse himself, too. A soldier's wife
has to be very adaptable."
"Captain Winston is my husband's
best friend,' I said, introducing him
because there was nothing else
to do.
He was frozen stiff, as the Eng
lish often are when they recognize
lack of breeding and tine feelings.
That annoyed Mrs. Varden fright
! fully.
"I see I am intruding. You two
I young things want to finish your
tete-a-tete," she said at last with
I unmistakable malice masking as
I knowing friendliness.
! I insisted on going up in the ele
i vator with Mrs. Varden. But she
managed to convey to me clearly
! her sneering opinion that I had done
I that to gloss matters over. I have
made a malicious enemy, and she
thinks she has me in her power.
The lunch with Mr. Mason was
unavoidable —unless I wanted to
make an absurd scene, and act like
an evil-minded person. To refuse
to dine with Captain Winston would
have been an affront to my husband's
best friend and a matter of real
hurt to Jim. And yet Mrs. Varden
is ready to twist it all into a ma
licious tale. Her smile. Just like that
of "the cat that ate the canary." tells 1
me that. She made me promise to
breakfast with her to-morrow morn
ing, and I felt compelled to accept.
I simply will not let that cruel old
woman sneer at my Jim. or pity
him. or think that his wife consoles
herself readily for his absence.
Jim is my world —my man —my
life ' itself. That she could never
understand. And I won't try to be
little my love by explaining it to
her. But one thing she must un
derstand. It is this: Jim Harrison's
wife is too completely satisfied with
him ever to beware of another man
as a man!
I shall breakfast with Mrs. Var
den. She must respect Jim—and
Jim's wife. But after breakfast I
cannot endure another hour in this
sneering evil-minded place the
home of such women as Mrs. Var
den.
But —where am I to go?

THE KAISER AS I KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D. S.
(Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate)
(Continued.)
CHAPTER XIV
The Crown I'rlncc—uiul Others
I first saw the Crown Prince pro
fessionally in the spring of 1905,
a few months before his marriage.
He was then twenty-three years old.
He was in the uniform of a German
army officer but looked more like a
corps-student except for the fact
that his face was not marked with
a scar from duelling, as is usually
the case with most members of the
German fraternities. He had a habit
of placing his hands on his hips and
his coats were always flared in at
the waist which, with the sporty
angle at which he wore his cap. gave
him a swagger which was quite for
eign to the rest of the officers of the
army. He was of slender figure,
which was accentuated by his height.
He was nearly six feet tall.
He came into my office, I remem
ber, with a copy of Life in his
pocket. He took it out and opened
it and showed me a cartoon of him
self which apparently caused him
considerable amusement, and which,
he said, he intended showing his
family.
There were two beautiful rings on
his left hand and he wore a wrist
watch, although at that time wrist
watches were used almost exclu
sively by women. He seemed to be
bright and quick, but by no means
brilliant.
Perhaps the quality exhibited by
him that impressed me most on that
first visit was his excessive nervous
ness. He trembled all over. It was
plain to see he was dreadfully afraid
of pain, and he evidently realized
that I had noticed his condition.
"I suppose the Crown Prince and
the future ruler of Germany ought
to be brave at all times," he re
marked, "but I just hate to have to
go to a dentist!"
He was to be married on June 6 to
the Duchess Cecille of Mecklenherg-
Schwerin, and he talked of little hut
that coming event.
He asked me if I had seen any
members of the Court lately, and I
told him that the Kaiser's Court
Chamberlain, Count von Eulenburg,
had been to see me the previous day.
"I'm not surprised he has to go
to the dentist; he eats too much!"
the Crown Prince declared. "He
can't expect to have good teeth; he's
always eating. As for myself, I eat
very little. I want to remain thin.
I hate fat people."
I corrected him regarding/ the
Count, remarking that he happened
to have the most wonderfully pre
served teeth I had ever seen in a
man of seventy years of age. In
deed, the Count was in splendid
physical condition and looked at
least ten years younger than he real
ly was.
The Crown Prince and I did not
get along very well at that time.
Apart from the fact that he was
such a physical coward that it
almost impossible to work on him
satisfactorily, he seemed to have no
idea of the meaning of an appoint
ment.
He would agree to be at my office
at 9.30 and I would plan my day ac
cordingly. At about 10 he was apt
to call me up to say that he would
be on hand at 11, and he would ac
tually arrive about 12. This hap
pened several times, and I told him
that I couldn't have my day broken
up in that way.
After seven or eight visits at that
particular period, I did not see him
professionally for some ten years.
Shortly after his last visit to me
in 1905, Princess von Pless told me
that she had just met him and had
told him that she was on her way to
my office. "Well, I hope I'll never
have to go to a dentist again as long
as I live," he had declared emphat
ically. "I hate dentists'."
As far as I was concerned, I was
not at all sorry that he felt that way
about my profession, because his
visits were more of a liability than
an asset, but I did rather regret that
I was apparently to have no further
opportunity of studying the possible
future ruler of Germany more Inti
mately.
In the years hat followed T saw
the Crown Prince many times driv
ing through the streets and at public
functions, but I did not come in
close contact with him. I remember
seeing him once in his car as he was
about to enter Brandenburger Tor on
his way up Unter den Linden. The
familiar sound of his father's motor
caused him to draw up to one side
and stand at salute until the Kaiser
had passed on ahead. It was Just
an illustration of the force of mili
tary discipline which was bred in
the bone of the Crown Prince. He
simply did not dare drive up Unter
den Linden first, knowing the Kaiser
was following him.
While the Crown Prince seemed
to respect military requirements, he
paid little attention to the civil reg
ulations. He was the depair of the
traffic policemen and the taxi driv
ers and private chauffeurs, as wore
also the Kaiser's other sons. They
all insisted upon driving around
safety zones to the left instead of to
the right and usually came within
an ace of colliding with ether cars.
The Crown Prince was a reckless
driver at best. On one occasion he
was going so fast through a city
street that his car climbed the side
walk and crashed into a lamppost.
His car was smashed but he escaped
injury. -
I saw him on several occasions
stop his motor or pull up his horse
for the purpose of giving a coin to a
child or a seedy-looking passerby on
the street, a form of ostentatious
charity which appealed very strongly
to him. Among other qualities
which he inherited from his father
was a love for posing in public, lie
never altowel an opportunity to pass
to make a favorable impression with
the people, and one read almost
daily of his various activities. Hither
the representatives of the German
press must have been omnipresent
or the imperial press agent was un
usually efficient. On one occasion,
when still quite young, the Crown
Prince rode his horse up the hun-'
dred steps of the Palace at Sans
Souci, not a particularly difficult
feat, but the newspapers and maga
zines made all they could out of it.
Although I did not see the Crown
Prince again professionally until
1915, the Crown Princess came to
me in 1913, and from that time on
paid me more or less regular visits.
She was a woman of great charm
and intelligence, and although she
was more Russian than German in
her ideas, .ana for some time after
her marriage was rather generally
criticised on that account, she soon
became extremely popular and to
day is very much admired by the
German people.
In her youth much of her time
had been spent on the French Ri
veira and she had found French as
sociations and customs more to her
liking than German. When pre
paring for her nuptials she spent
more time in Paris than she did in
Berlin, most of her shopping oeing
done in the French capital. The
complaint was freely made that a
French trousseau was hardly appro
priate for the wife-to-be of a Ger
man Crown Prince-
These adverse criticisms were soon
lived down, however, and the Crown
Princess became a great favorite in
German Court circles, to which she
brought a youthful animation and
esprit which had been notably ab
sent before her advent.
She was one of the most demo
cratic and informal of my royal pa
tients. I remember one day when
I was working on Princess Hatzfeld,
we heard a loud "Hoo-Hoo" from
the anteroom. The Crown Princess
had heard that the Princess Hatz
feld, who was a great chum of hers,
was in my office and had followed
her into my place unannounced.
On another occasion, I had lust
finished my day's work and was
writing a letter when a dog ran into
the room. 1 walked out to ascertain
who had let the animal in and found
that the Crown Princess and Prin
cess Hatzfeld had walked into my
office. Desiring to make an ap
pointment for the following week
and passing my place, they had
stepped in for that purpose in the
most informal way. The dog, which
belonged to the Crown Princess, had
found its way Into my room to an
nounce the arrival of his royal mis
tress.

The Princess Hatzfeld, I may men
tion, was an extremely intelligent
and beuutiful young woman, and be
cause of her Intimacy with the
Crown Princess, I took a keen inter
est in the views she expressed from
time to time. Her mother was an
American.
When she called on me on one oc
casion after the war had started, I
repeated to her the gist of a conver
sation 1 had had a few days before
with her father, Excellenz von
Stumm. He informed me that lie
had been trying to convince all
Germans of influence that it would
be a serious mistake to annex Bel
gium.
"From morning to night I have
been trying to teach our people
some sense," he had declared. "With
the history of Poland and Alsace-
Lorraine in mind, why should we
take more responsibilities on our
shoulders by retaining Belgium?
The Lord only knows we have our
hands full as it is. I don't see and
I never have seen how Germany can
possibly win this war!"
"Your father seemed to be very
pessimistic regarding the outlook,"
I told her.
"The sad thing about it," she re
plied, "is that father is,alwuys right!
I never knew him to make a mis
take in judgment."
When the Crown Prince called to
see roe again I was surprised to find
a considerably change in his general
appearance. Although, of course, he
wus ten years older, he had aged
more than I would have expected.
There were lines on his face which
made him look older than his tnirty
three years.
In the outer world he was gener
ally expected to be one of the lead
ing spirits of the military party in
Germany, but among his own people
he was not credited with sufficient
ability or influence to be much of a
factor. Indeed, within the past year
he had been criticised rather se
verely in army circles for his indif
ference to the crisis in which his
country was involved and for not
taking the war seriously enough, and
from all I was able to observe of
him during the visits he paid me
after the resumption of our relations
these criticisms were wel' founded.
The newspapers, however, which
were naturally inspired, always
brought his name to the front when
ever the army he was accredited to
made any successful showing. Just
as they did in the case of the Kaiser.
I noted that the Crown Prince
seemed to be vitally interested in his
personal appearance and in other
trivial things which one would have
thought he might very Well have ig
nored in those serious times. He
was still as fond of jewelry appar
ently as he had ever been, two new
rings which he wore affording him
much satisfaction. He showed me
a new wristwatch attached to an
elastic-linked bracelet, of which he
seemed to be very proud, and asked
me what I thought of it. It was
more on the order of the wrist
watches worn by ladies than of the
military style which is favored by
army men.
He talked about a new two-seated
roadster which he was driving and
was very much elated over a n\v
raincoat he was wearing. In fact,
before he left that day, Princess Au-
gust Wilhelm, her sister, Princess
J Carolina, of Schleswig Holstein, and
I several ladies-in-waiting had assem
bled in my salon to wait for him, and
I when I was through with him, he
I put on his new raincoat and walk
| ing into the salon, strutted up and
j down in fro.it of the ladies, inquir-
I ing how thov liked the cut of his
| new coat. The war seemed to be
| about the last thing on his mind.
During his various visits to me I
tried to draw him out a little on dif
ferent aspects of the international
situation, but the ideas he expressed
were not of much moment.
"The Allies think we will run
short of man-power," he said on one
occasion, "but we've got two million
jouths growing up and we'll soon be
able to put theniin the war. There's
no danger of our running short of
men, but. really, I wish it were all
over. This war is a lot of damned
nonsense, you know!" He talked as
if the two million growing-up youths
of Germany were created for the
Hohenzollerns to use as they pleased.
Another remark he made whi -h
indicated how sadly he misconstrued
the epoch-making significance of the
great war in which the whole world
was involved was quite character
istic.
