There was no one in the living
room when I returned. It seemed
big and lonely in spite of its glow
ing flame-colored torches and flick
ering candles. I was suddenly glad
I need not eat my first meal alone—
that would have made my longing
for Jim too cruel!
I arranged the cold meats and
bread and crackers, and the rad
ishes and little cream-colored pat of
cheese on the plates that were laid
out in readiness. Then I called
Evelyn.
Tom Mason strode in from the
kitchenette with an air of being
completely at home. His coat was
off, and he was just rolling down
the sleeve of his tan silk shirt.
"I've been washing—scrubbing,
rather," he announced.
"Evelyn, too, I suppose. Oh,
Evelyn," I called.
"Evelyn's gone," replied Mr. Ma
eon quietly.
"Gone? You're joking!" I cried,
running to the door that led to the
(kitchenette and bath in my haste
to end this game of hide and seek.
"Mrs. Harrison, you needn't look
for Evelyn. She's gone, I tell you.
Sallie Royce 'phoned out to Hemp
stead to invite Evelyn to join them
and Sheldon Blake on a motor trip
•up the road. And Evelyn's mother
gave Sallie this number—so, of
course, when Sally called Evy here,
what was there to do?
"Then I must eat my supper alone,
after all!" I cried, feeling decidedly
eorry for myself.
The man smiled.
"Not at all—l'm here."

"But you can't stay, Mr. Mason." 1
I said, with a frankness that might !
have been called downright rude- I
ness.
"Can't stay? Don't he foolish. ;
Why can't I stay? I'm here, and
you're here, and the supper is here, j
The obvious thing to do is to eat it." j
I shrank back in amazement. !
Mr. Mason actually thought that I
would let him remain. Perhaps it .
all seemed natural enough to a New '
York society man, but to me the
very idea was revolting. First of
all, I did not want to have guests at
a little "house warming" before my i
husband had eaten a meal in his ■
own home. Now it no longer j
seemed a question of feelings and
desires alone, but one actually of
dignity—of decency.
Of course I couldn't —I wouldn't—
permit this man to remain alone
with me in the apartment. Even if
I offended him and seemed to him
narrow-minded and old-fashioned, I
must make that clear.
I tried. But Mr. Mason smiled at
me in a fashion that made me feel
like an ignorant little girl talking
to a wise old man.
"My dear child, don't be absurd.
How can it matter if I stay for half
an hour, eat my share of the party
to which you have just invited me,
and that looks so delicious, or
whether I go now, hungry and
tired? Surely you won't deprive me
of my supper. I've earned it, haven't
I? Child alive, Jim won't like it if
you go around snubbing all his old
friends."
1 had snubbed some of Jim's
friends—Mr. Mason spoke as if that
was common knowledge. I didn't
want to offend again.
"Oh, I don't know what to do,"
I cried, desperately.
"Of course you don't, you poor
little tired child. But I, as one of
Jim's oldest friends, assure you he
would want you to do the right and
proper thing. You aren't going to
deny me your hospitality—are you?"
In a series of flashes it came over
me that I generally did the wrong
thing where Jim's friends were
concerned. This man. who had been
so kind to me, had known Jim since
boyhood.
"I'm so worn out I can't think,"
I stammered. "I didn't mean to be
rude —I just wanted to do what was
dignified and proper. You under
stand that, don't you, Mr. Mason?
You see. I'm a small-town girl and
a business woman, and I haven't
had much time for city society
training. But I don't want you to
think Jim's wife is a boor."
Mr. Mason studied me a moment
with questioning eyes. "Poor little j
country mouse—of course she was j
a bit puzzled. But you can trust
the judgment of a man so much
older than yourself, can't you?"
"I think so Oh, of course, I
know so!" I exclaimed, smiling my
apologies almost humbly.
My verdict was a trifle premature.
"Run along and coql off a bit,
little lady. Wait a mfnute—we can't
have you supping in that stiff, for
mal satin dress. Here's the very
thing!"
He hurried over to a worm- 1

eaten, carved chest set across one
corner of the room and drew out a
robe of silk. It glinted in woven
lights of blue and green and apricot.
It fairly scintillated. He held it
toward me with a little smile of
complete understanding.
"I couldn't —" I gasped. I was
exhausted and the day had been a
nightmare of trying to forget. , I
wanted to cry.
Mr. Mason came toward me and
flung the flashing silk garment on
the couch between us as he drew
me down into its cushioning em
brace and sank beside me, holding
my cold hands in his strong clasp.
His eyes were alight, and his voice
vibrated as he spoke:
"Donna Anna! Poor little tired
lady. I want you to be happy in
your new home. We're friends,
aren't we? Don't be formal with me
—run and put on the robe, little girl,
and we'll have a cozy evening."
There was nothing in his words
perhaps to terrify, but absolute
panic took possession of me.
"I'm grateful. I thank you for
all you have done to help," I said,
with determination ringing in my
voice. "I wouldn't be rude to one
of Jim's friends for the world—but
you must go."
He smiled and loosed his clasp of
my hands.
"Go, put on the robe, little girl."
"You must go!" I repeated in a
voice I had to struggle to keep
steady.
And then, as he shook his head in
slow, smiling negation, the tele
phone bell rang, and Mr. Mason
leaped to his feet.

THE KAISER AS I KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D. S.
(Copyright, 1918, by the MeClure Newspaper Syndicate)
(Continued.)
He was very much interested, tor
instance, in the experiments and
discoveries of Luther Burbank. To
make Germany self-supporting as
far as food resources were con
cerned was one of his dearest ambi
tions He realized that in the event
of a world-war his people would
probably suffer more from lack of
food than they would from hostile
bullets, and he was hoping that he
would be able to obviate that con
dition before his country was put to
the test. He was constantly preach
ing simplified diet and the conserva
tion of food reserves, and he had
great hopes that much could be done
in a scientific way to help solve gen
eral food problems. When attending
dinners given him by his officers,
his wishes respecting simple menus
were always carefully followed.
A case of extremely large seed
less oranges was sent to me from
Florida one year, end 1 showed the
Kaiser one of them It was so large
he thought it was a grapefruit, and
he expressed his admiration for the
attainments of men who could thus
coai nature into excelling herself
for the common good.
I told him of the loganberry
which had been developed in the
West, and he sent a representative
to me afterward to ascertain how a
sample could be secured for experi
mental purposes. He said he would
plant it in the Royal Experimental
Gardens and ascertain if it was
feasible to grow the berries in Ger
many. The proprietor of a large
delicatessen store told me that the
Kaiser had sent a representative to
him to purchase some loganberry
jel'y, and had been told that I hadi
called it to the Kaiser's attention.
Before the war, I suggested to the'
Kaiser that it might be of mutual
advantage to my country and Ger
many to arrange for an exchange
of medical and dental professors,
and he was very much taken with
the idea. He sent Dr. von Illberg,
his private physician and a doctor
in the German army, to see me
about the project, and I was asked
to lay out a plan for consideration.
At about the same time he asked
me to recommend any changes that
might occur to me that would add
to the efficiency, of the wonderful
dental institute at the University of
Berlin. The breaking out of war,
•jowever, put an end to these pio'-
ects of peace. What a power for
good the Kaiser might have been in
the world but for his cursed thirst
for world dominion.
"he Kaise.- enjoyed American
humor. He was very fond of Mark
Twain, and he followed one or two
of the American monthlies and
weeklies more or less regularly.
He told me that, one evening while
in his sittingroom in the Berlin
palace, reading something in an
American magazine, he ran across
a stor ywhici. caused h.m to laugh
so much and so loud that the ladles
of the court, who heard him in an
adjacent room, came running in
with their knitting to see What the
matter was.

What has Willie drawn?
Draw from one to two and so on
i to the end.
The Kaiser had little respect for 1
our architecture. He thought' our 1
skyscrapers, of which he had seen i
illustrations, were hideous. 1
"How, terrible to desecrate the 1
landscape with such tall buildings,"
he commented. "They hurt the 1
e"ye. How can people live in them?" '
I explained that most of the J
buildings to which he referred were ,
cffice buildings, but that we did
have fourteen and fifteen-story
apartment houses and hotels, and '
even higher ones, in which the upper ,
floors were used for living purposes ,
Just the same as the lower ones. He j
couldn't believe it possible that peo- ,
pie would consent to live so far | (
above the ground, and from his own 1
aversion to visit a place that was I ,
even one story above the ground I (
floor, I rather got the idea that he
was afraid of height. Under the
building laws prevailing in Ger- ;
many no building of more than five
stories may be erected.
Perhaps the quality that he en- j'
vied most in us was our inventive j 1
genius. When Orville Wright was • j
flying at Tempelhofer Field, in Ber- .
lin, in the early days of aviation,
the Kaiser could not restrain his
admiration.
"I wish I could encourage my
people to become great inventors, I
such as America has produced," he
declared, rather hopelessly. I ad
mire your wonderful inventive gen
ius."
If the Germans could not dupli- ,
cate our inventions, they were quick
enough to realize their value and
adopt them. Almost as soon as
Wright's demonstration was seen to
be a success, a company was organ
ized in Germany to build them under |
the Wright patent, and the Germans j
have continued to push aviation ever
since. Just before I left Germany I
heard from one of the highest mili- |
tary officials that they had Just per
fected an airplane with six motors <
that could accomplish more than I
had ever been dreamed of. "It will
carry twelve passengers," he said,
"and it will carry enough fuel to
make the trip to New York and |
back and still have enough left to
reach New York gain." Since my
return home I have read that Just
such a machine was shot down on j
the French border recently.
The Kaiser told me of an Amerl- I
can, with both arms cut off nearly:
to the shoulders, who had patented j
an artificial arm and had come to j
Germany to demonstrate it. He i
wanted to sell his patent or manu- |
facture the arms for the German
wounded. The Kaiser invited him |
to army headquarters and watched |
him eat, clothe himself, shake
hands, shave, light a cigaret and, in |
fact, do almost everything that a j
man can do with his own arms and
hands. Evidently the Kaiser was |
very much impressed with this'
American's demonstration, for he;
spoke to me about it for half an
hour and was most enthusiastic.
"It was very wonderful, Davis."
he concluded. "Here is one of your
countrymen who fcas made it possi- |
ble for my armless men to make 1
themselves useful and self-support
ing. Your people are always talk-1
ing about humanity, but this is the
only humanity they've displayed in
this war. That is what I call real j
humanity. Certainly furnishing mu
nitions and supplies to the Allies to
enable them to starve my people |
and shoot down my soldiers isn't: |
humanity."
Apparently the Kaiser believed it
was our part in the world's economy
to provide artificial arms and legs,
and his to provide a demand for
them!
The Kaiser's peculiar interest in
our red Indians was somewhat sur
prising. He frequently asked me
about them, and was particularly in
terested in their diet. He had an
Idea that they were for the most
part vegetarians. Perhaps the fact
STEEL WORKER
HAD TO TAKE
ANOTHER JOB
Gets Help and Now Can Do Most
Dangerous Work
In order to prevent injury to him, ,
his employeis had to change the
-vork of Hairy Markley, of Steel- 1
ton, an employe of the Bethlehem 1
Steel Company.
"I was so dizzy," said Mr. Mark
ley, "that I was in danger every
minute and it all came from my
stomach. I had an awful taste in
my mouth and my tongue was I
badly coated. Friends in the ma
chine shop of the plant told me to
try Tanlac. I did so and soon the
dizzy spells disappeared and I could
safely do the most dangerous work.j
assigned to me. Tanlac cleaned my
system 'as clean as a hound's tooth' 1
and I can now eat anything set out
to me."
Tanlac is now being specially in
troduced and explained in Harris- I
burg at the George A Gorgas Drug
Store. i
that he was not much of a meat
eater himself aroused his interest in
the primitive Americans who seemed
to thrive on vegetable diet. While
the Kaiser ate a certain amount of
white meat, he never ate dark or
red meat, and at night he made his
meal almost entirely of fruit. He
was fond of fish and said it pro
duced brain, as it is a fine brain
food, adding laughingly, "It is too
bad the majority of people don't eat
fish entirely!"
Colonel Wisser, our former mili
tary attache, now general, told me
that at a state banquet the Kaiser
placed his son, Prince Eitel Fred
erick, next to him [the colonel], and
that the Prince spoke of nothing else
during the entire function but
American methods of open fighting,
which we long ago learned in ooir
conflicts with the Indians. He said
they had heard much of our success
in this character of warfare and
were anxious to learn more about
our methods.
The Kaiser objected very much to
the fact that many of the foreign
opera singers were attracted to New
York by reason of the fabulous sums
paid them at the Metropolitan Opera
House.

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A SOLDIER'S SWEETHEART
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going about with a
young man now in the service. I
love him and he has confessed his
love for me with a promise of mar
riage.
He has never introduced me to his
father; his mother is not living, but
I have met his brother and sister
outside his home. 1 see him on
Thursday evenings for perhaps an
hour and on Saturday and Sunday
evenings. He tells me of going to
parties and theaters on his oft nights
with other friends. 1 should like to
know if he is doing right in not tak
ing me to his home, and should he
visit me oftener or am I selfish to
expect more of him. Do you really
think he cares for me as he says?
I suppose when you say 'in the
service you mean that your fiance is
either in the Army or Navy, and it
is a surprise to me that he has as
much time for visiting as you state.
Young men of my acquaintance in
either of these two branches of the
service have felt themselves lucky
to get an evening off much less fre
quently. So perhaps you mean that
he belongs to some of the civilian
bands of war workers, which would
account for his amount of leisure.
I think really that three evenings a
week ought to content you. Do you
7
make those three evenings agreeable
or are you inclined to be exacting
and demand an accounting for all
the time that he is not with you?
Nothing is a surer way of losing a
man's affections than to try to hold
him on too short a leash. There
may be family reasons why he does
not ask you to his home immediate
ly. 1 should not press the matter if
no date has been set for your mar
riage.
