reflecting that the kaiser's selfish
words had been fulfilled and they
have been to this day. The House of
Hohensollern is frequently referred to
in war worn Germany as "the family
that has lost no member" and long
before I left that country there was
much discontented rautteringa and
critical comment upon the fact.
"I am worried also about Wll-

the kaiserin went on. "I don't remem-

who lived In a villa quite near the
Neuer garden had died suddenly of
diphtheria. Wilhelm turned pale and
instantly ordered the chamberlain on
duty to have all his things packed
and sent to the Berlin Schloss at
once. He has never lived at the
Marble palace since."
At the Neues Palais a wardrobe at-
tendant of the empress frauleln
Schrader had consulted the court
Physician about a slight feverish
sickness. Following the prescribed
treatment she was lying- in bed at
midnight in a profuse perspiration
when she was roused by the kaiser's
imperative orders t leave the palace
immediately. The poor girl sick and
shivering was bundled into a car-
riage and hurried away to a hospital
only to be told that there was no
room for her there Finally she was
admitted to a pauper's ward of the
lowest class and given a cot next to
some poor wretch in the thros of
death. And as a result of the shock
and horror of er experience coupled
with the exposure fraulein Schrader
herself died in those miserable sur-
roundings a few days later.
Treated Like Beasts.
The kaiserin and I had drifted into
talk of such incidents and of Wei-

swarm of servants employed in the
royal palaces: though it was dif-
ficult for euste Victoria loyal and

he invariably shouts at any one of
them man or woman when necessity
arises for "the aH highest's" lips to
address such inferior beings with
question or command.
Indeed the kaiser's surly contempt
for these underlings would seem to
amount to virulent hatred.
A StartUBK Crime.
Soon after the above conversation
a strange and disturbing affair oc-
curred at the Neues Palais which
bears out what I have been writing.
One morning the kaiser had been
closeted for hours in his study en-
gaged in drawing up a scheme of im-
portant military operations prior to
setting out for a war council at the
Konigs-Platz in Berlin with Von
Kalkenhayn. chief of the general
staff and marshal von Hendenburg.
th hope of Germany.
The kaiserin had discreetly kept
out of her lord's way. But hearing:
the loud whirr of a motor I looked
from a window of the palace to see
the kaiser entering his big car with
the imperial eagle emblazoned upon
it. and informed my mistress of his
departure. A minute or two later 1
had occasion to accompany the
kaiserin towards her dressing room
adjacent to the royal bed chamber.
We had iust reached the great
ut our Paula did not foIdin floors leading towards the
rdenng. She drank oi dresain room when the kaiser hurst
into the study and strode hastily to
his writing- table. A fierce startled ex-
clamaion arrested us; and glancing
round I saw Wilhelm tossing about
the papers on his desk in feverish
search.
"Iona!" he roared in a terrible
voice. "Come here and you toJ.
countess! A few minutes ago I left
an important document on my desk
and now it's gone!"
Yes gone!" he shouted in rising
f"re ard inflictive.
.Ihel-ii was furious but baffled
nd from that hour has hated
me lr.tensH. But he was forced to
i ont-nt himscK with virulent abuse
of mself and mv mistress and with
s.iagely hinted threats against Cap-
o:i Uchtenfels
A Doable Traieedy.
Yet. through the same dread of the
.iff-ir being dragged to light the
Kaiser did not venture to wreak open
xer.ireance upon the oung officer.
Put when i.r was declared just af-
terwards. on Lichtenfels was im-
mediatelv ordered on active service
and dispatched to the hottest part
of the front. A few days later he
was reported killed in action.
Jt leaked out somehow that he had
been shot through the head from be-
hind. Paula Werther's grief threatened
to upset her reason. She presented a
piteous spectacle pallid and worn;
and no one was surprised to hear of
her death soon afterward.
Bv the kaiserm's instructions 1
called at the villa Werther to con-
ev her condolence. I was received by
ihi dead girl's venerable aunt to
whom 1 expiesed the kalserin's sym-
pathy. The old lady bowed then to
my surprise brought from tile pocket
of her gown a medicine phial holding
it toward me.

"There. countess I have fin-

her gold mounted pen. as I entered
her sitting room on the second floor
of the Nenes Palais at Potsdam

and now It's missing! Gott in

Then followed an extraordinary de-
velopment. As I stood quaking and
uncomfortable. I suddenly caught a
peculiar sound from within the great
stove close beside me. At once a
keen suspicion flashed into my mind
and I ventured to hurriedly Interrupt
the fuming kaiser.
"Tour majesty." I stammered
pointing to the stove "I beg you
look look in there!"
Wilhelm glared at me as If he
thought 1 had lost my senses but
stooped to wrench open the massive
door of the stove. Then a savage as-
tounded cry escaped him; and he
grasped and dragged out from its
lurking place a wild eyed llvldfaced
youth who I recognized as a minor
official about the palace.
The kaiserin screamed and the em-
peror gasped in astonished fury as
he clutched and shook his captive.
But the youth frenzied with terror
fitted with a lock which law before

for I had been privileged to see it

a wavering. mournful smile "he

Augus'.e Victoria sighed now as she
drew a slender gold chain from her
hreast and locked the dairy with the
kev she carried over her heart.

Briefly it was an anonymous note

Within a few hours the thief who
had taken the document was tracked
and seized in Berlin with the paper
still In his possession. His name was
Gustav Kleist. and although em
ploed in the royal household he was
an extreme Socialist in opinion. For
this and other reasons it appeared.
he had just been given notice oi dis-
missal by baron von Gersdorff.
Under rigorous examination Kleist
confessed that bearing a grudge
against the court marshal be had
conceived the plan of Injuring him
in the kaiser's eyes through the
anonymous note. He admitted aj
having been heavily bribed by a Rus
sian secret service agent in Berlin
to attempt to secure state documents.
Kleist was shot at daybreak a few
mornings later.
A few hours after the poor youth
had met hts fate the kaiserin told me
that she had not slept s-ich had been

the kaiser appeared well satisfied.
and had even made merry at the
breakfast table remarking tbat so

Two days later baron von Gersdorff
attempted suicide but his hand had
faltered and he only gashed bis
throat. Berlin was shocked and the
kaiser's action in having dismissed the
baron was bitterly condemned the
more so as no one oeiieved tor a mo
ment that either the kaiserin or the
baron had been Indiscreet.
The kaiser smiled cruelly when be
was informed oi the Daron 8 betterment.
"We could well have spared an old
fool." he said callously. "This Is no

Such is the kaiser! Think of the
woman with a soulless form for her

of Germany.
