Why was she so confused ? He longed to relieve her fear of nervousness, to make her relieve that he trusted her implicitly. "Miss Moore," he began, then ce-l railed Clifford's statement that 'Moore" was not her name. If Clifford Chapin could have known the malease that his threats and revelations had produced his small soul would have been at '.cast partially satisfied.

"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.

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. Hohe, and Krenznach (two neighboring "vil ilages), I was called there to see the ! Kaiserin, and three weeks later I j went there again to see the Kaiser. 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. Two rooms were assigned to me on one of the upper floors of the palace, and my meals consisted of | the same kind of food as I had al- WM/MJMIM STORE OPENS 8:30 A. M.—CLOSES 5 P.

It has long been accepted as a matter of course that the sins of the fathers must be suffered by innocent posterity, yet it is hard to become reconciled to this condition. The heritage of physical infirmity is a handicap under which thousands must face the battle of life. Scrofula is probably the most no ticeable of the transmitted blood disorders, though there are other more severe diseases of the blood that pass from one generation to another.

It is purely vegetable, and contains not a par ticle of any chemical, and acts promptly on the blood by routing all traces of the taint, and restoring it to absolute purity. Some of the most distressing cases of transmitted blood poison have yielded to the treatment of S. S.
