"What?" Elizabeth looked up at the man bending over her, forcing herself to meet his gaze steadily. "Nothing—only." Butler stam mered. "only—l mean—l wish I could help vcu. Something's wrong —and I know you are distressed — and yet I can't be of any assistance to you." Her eyes fell before his. She wanted to talk freely to him. to un burden her soul—yet first she must find out how much he already knew. "I wish I could tell you every thing." she acknowledged wistfully. Then, with a sudden resolution. "Did Clifford Chapin speak to you of my brother?" A Considerate Companion "Tour brohter? What about your brother?" "Didn't Clifford tell you?" she re peated. "Why, no—he did not mention your brother." Butler assured her "I did not even know you had ore. Why do you ask?" "Oh—nothing!" she exclaimed. "It's no matter anyway, just now. I—l don't feel like talking." "Of course you don't!" Butler himself up and spoke briskly. "You are faint for your breakfast, and here I am letting you tallt about everything except what you most need—food. I declare I ar.i ashamed of myself! You just lean back against that tree and close vour eyes until I return. I'll not be long." She did Ins bidding. She was tired and perplexed. For a minute she had thought that the worst would soon be over, was, perhaps, over already. She had far cied that Clifford had told John But ler who she was. From Sutler's bearing he had shown that he felt no resentment at the deception she and Douglas had practiced upon him. If that had been the case, all was well. But as scon as she mentioned her brother, she saw her mistakes. But ler knew nothing of her kinship with Douglas Wade, his physician- All that revelation must yet be made—his indignation must yet be faced—perhaps even the loss of his regard. She sighed wearil.y. Never mind! She would rest how. She would net cross that bridge before she came to it. The warm sunshine drew sweet perfume from the clover. The bees hummed drowsily about her.

How lovely it all was! And how 1 deliciouslv drowsy it made her! She had slept little last night: her nerves were over-tired. She let her eyelids droop over her eyes, and in t three minutes she was fast asleep. In the farmhouse Mrs. Chapin was preparing a tray according to John; Butler's suggestions. The Farmer Objects "Miss Moore was rather shocked at the sight of that dog lying dead there." he explained. "So she. thought she didn't want any break-: fast. But I persuaded her to ict me bring something down to the orchard to her. I think a cup of your hot coffee and a couple of those biscuits that you cooked for breakfast will be all she wants.' Oh. yes—and a saucer of those big j blackberries." Mrs. Moore liked John Butler. She liked him better—at least with more ease—now that her son was out of the way. Clifford's dislike of him had made her feel almost as. if she was wrong in not sharing it. Perhaps Clifford had been a little peeved because Elizabeth Wade had . not seemed to like the son of the, house better than she did this stranger. Well, there was np ac counting for girls' tastes. And maybe she did care a good deal about Clifford after all. only would not show it. The thought softened the maternal heart more than ever toward Elizabeth. "I guess Lizzie's not very well, anyway." she remarked. "I noticed last evening that she seemed kinder moping." As Butler started across the back lawn, carrying the laden tray, he met Amos Chapin. The farmer eyed him in surprise. ""I thought you were at work." he said. "Where are you taking that stuff?" "To Miss Moore." John replied, calmly. "What's the matter with her that rhe can't cat breakfast in the house without taking a man's valuable time?" Amos demanded. "She was sickened by the sight of your shooting that dog down right before her eyes," Butler replied sharply. . Amos started ,to retort, then thought better of it and went on toward the house.

HAJUUSBURG TELEGRAPH! THE KAISER AS I KNEW HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS By ARTHUR X. DAVIS, D. D. 8. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate) (Continued.) In the morning I inquired of the proprietor where the Great Army Headquarters was and he told me it was right around the corner. I told him that I w-as to go there to meet the Kaiser and he then informed me that some officers In two motors had been around looking for me half an hour before. "They first went to the station to meet the 6.15 train, and when they found you were not on that they came here, but you weren't regis tered and I didn't know you were in the place and I sent them away. You can get in touch with them by calling up number fifteen -on the telephone." I followed his suggestion and quickly secured a connection with the Kaiser's Garderobe. His secre tary said he would send right around for me. 1 They came over in a big car. and after picking up my baggage at the station, drove me to the palace. Sentries were posted at the palace gates, but there was no other sign of military activity tnat I could ob se: ve. As we drove through the beauti ful park surrounding the palace I kept on the lookout for marching troops and other evidences of the bustling activity which I naturally expected to find at the Great Army Headquarters of the largest army In I the world's history, but everything | was strangely calm and peaceful. ! and I concluded that they were 1 purposely keeping me out of the i busy section of headquarters. i When we arrived at the palace I i was ushered through long marble i halls, the walls of which were cov | ored with antlers, to a very large I room on the ground floor. There | was a bright red carpet on the floor j and the furniture was in gold and , white of an antique French design. I It overlooked a terrace and one of the most beautiful garden land ; scapes I had ever seen. Lakes and flowerbeds arranged in the most artistic manner stretched as far as 1 the eye could see. golden pheasants were walking on j the lawn some distance away and swans adorned the lakes. Away in • the distance I saw two officers on , horseback cantering across the I lawn, but they were the only sol ! diers in the scene, and there was I absolutely nothing else to indicate j that this picturesque estate id all i its peacefulr.ess and quiet was never theless the center about which the ; whole world war revolved. The Kaiser walked in unannounced. He was dressed in his full uniform. "Isn't it beautiful here. Davis? Did you ever see a lovelier place?" he asked, as he observed me study ing the landscape.

I told him that the scene was too i beautiful for description, but I did < not tell him what was really in my 1 thoughts. I was thinking of what i my laboratory assistant had said 1 when he returned from the western j front on a furlough: "If the ones j i who started the war could be where] I was just one hour, they would be i, willing to'make peace immediately"'!, "Did you have any trouble in': reaching Pless?" the Kaiser asked., "On the contrary, I got in about! four hours ahead of time, your Maj- j esiy," I said, and I explained to him j how it happened. '"Well, it speaks well for our rail-j way system in wartime, doesn't it? I Who ever heard of a train getting ] in ahead of time these days?" During the course of my work one! of his private secretaries came in' t repeatedly with telegrams and mes-! sages for the Kaiser, and he would usually excuse himself to read them, i Sometimes he would be summoned, outside to consult with important persons who were there to see him, j but he was never gone more than ten minutes at a time. I did not think he looked excep-! tionally well. He seemed to be very j tired and he had very little to say— j in itself an indication that he was i not exactly normal. When my work for | the morning was over and his valet, who had as sisted me, had been excused, the i Kaiser gazed at me for a moment , or two and then, apropos of nothing, burst out with the rather remarka ble comment: "The man who brought this catastrophe on the' : world, Davis, should be strung up | by the neck, and that man is not 1,, as the world seems to think! The j i Czar of Russia and the King of j ' England, when they were at the j ! wedding of my daughter—guests at j |my own house, mind you, and my j blood relatives —hatched this plot) against me. They were envious of ■ my power, but they will now learn j what that power is!" In the same breath almost he made the inconsistent remark: "Eng- j land will never be able to raise an efficient army; it took Germany one ; hundred years to accomplish what • she has done!" How ridiculous it i was to suppose that the Czar of Russia and the King of England ] could have hatched a plot which; neither of them was the least pre-! pared to carry out and which Ger- i many was apparently powerful | j enough to foil! Some time after this, one of the! biggest merchants in Berlin told me that he had heard on the Stock Ex-i change that the Kaiser had made j the remark that the King and Czar ! had hatched the plot against him, j i and as I had repeated the Kaiser's statement to no one, I realized that | he must have told the same thing I :to others. .If this version of the I starting of the war was put into I circulation with the idea of absolv- i ing the Kaiser, it certainly didn't carry conviction even among the ] Germans themselves. The merchant | who spoke to me about it, at any rate, made fun of the idea, and I never heard the point seriously 1 raised by anyone else of influence. Before I left the Kaiser that morning he spoke of the Anglo- j French loan which had beeen float- j ed in America and condemned us severely for countenancing it. When ] I told him that Germany had also f'oated a loan in America, he re- 1 plied: "But ours was only $10,000,- 000, while theirs is $500,000,000!" to which I naturally rejoined that the size of the loan could certainly) not affect the question of our neu trality in floating it. He criticised our bankers who | handled the loan, and when I asked him if he had ever seen the number] i of German names that appeared on the list of bankers who were inter- I ested in it, he said he hadn't read ] the list, but he was quite sure there] was one bank in New York which wouldn't touch it. "That bank j wouldn't touch anything that would be detrimental to Germany!" he added. In the afternoon, after the Kaiser had had his invariable afternoon j nap. I attended him again, and that i night I returned to Berlin. It was] with regret that I left such a beauti- j ful, restful place, for although Ber-1 lin in wartimes was almost death ; like in its quietness, it couldn't excel the Army Headquarters for reetful ! ness. i Several months later I was called to Pless again and the place was just as peaceful as it had been on my first visit. Not even the ordi- NEURALGIA Rub the forehead feip, and temples with H£Majn NEW PRICES-MS.6O* TLAOU j nary precautions which one> might expect to be taken at a place where the Kaiser was sojourning were en forced and I was allowed to travel the entire distance and to enter the palace without ever once showing I my pass. I When I got out of the train I saw j one of the Kaiser's motors there. I j stepped up. spoke to the driver, had ' my bags placed inside and was about |to drive off when another motor. ; with four officers in it. arrived. One iof them asked me who I was and i when I told him. he said there must be some mistake, as the car I was ! in had been sent to meet some of | fleers who were arriving on the i train. | While we were still discussing the | point, a third car came up and the officer who had addressed me then | asked the driver of the third car ; what he was sent for. He said he ; didn't know: he had ben told merely |to drive to the station. I accord ' ingly transferred my baggage from i the car I was in to this third car and was driven off to the palace. We i went through the gates without any \ one asking to see my credentials. | The whole incident was a sad reflec -1 tion on Germany's boasted effl ) ciency. I was shown to the same room I had visited on the former occasion. When the Kaiser entered he stood erect, with his hands to his side, clicked his heels together and sa luted me as a soldier salutes a su perior officer, smiling as he did so. and I knew he was in good humor. ! Xevertheless he had but little to say. His criticism of Mr. Wilson on this occasion I have recorded elsewhere in these pages. | In June of 1917, after the Great j Army Headquarters fyad been re | moved to Homburg v. d.

I noticed at the station the Kaiser's private train composed of five dark ! green cars upon each of which was : plainly marked the imperial coat of j arms. The cars had special folding • steps.
