the Grices in good earnest. was very
much astonished at what l saw. Your
sudden departure had disarranged their
plans, and they had a fun discussion of
past and future operations. 1t was not
at all bad idea to- hold their delibera-
lions before your very eyes, so rs to
keep up their watch on your movements
and dlsarm suspicion, but they had taken
no precautions against being overseen.

Later still, when my uncle had gone
in, heard him quietly say: $50 you

But these words were not addressed to
me. and judged it best to fall into the

the rest of the conversation. l
can only add that our re-
turn was postponed, and that shortly
after these events Mr.. Gregory again
requested a private conversation with
my uncle; that he had again some
revelations to make concerning con-
spiracy of two, male and female, in
this case also; and THAT shortly after
the first pair of conspirators had been
sentenced for life" by one of her
Majesty's Judges, similar sentence
was pronounced upon the other pair
by the Rev. Mr.. Briggs.

Personally the Emperor of Germany
is large-limbed, good-natured, not too
quick witted man, charming as a study
OF character. He is, in his warlike as
pect, little more real than our lament
ed King George, who had so often de-
scribed the event that he died n the
unshaken belief that he had led charge
of cavalry at the battle of Waterloo.
The Emperor William has actually
heard the distant roar of artillery, and
has looked upon the smoke of battle
when the firing had ceased. We all
remember the pretty knack he had of
riding up to the great battle fields OF
1870 just as all was over, and dating,
from amidst the slain, blood-red tele-
grams to his "dear Augusta" praising
God for this new victory. don't mean
to say that he would not have joined i'll
the fray had need been or etiquette per-
mitted. He comes of soldier family,
and his sons showed during the same
campaign the stuff of which the old tree
was made. But there being no need for
him to draw his sword, he was kept out
of the range of bullets, and his move
ments carefully timed, so that he might
come in with the flourish of trumpets
that announced fresh and heavier de-
feat of the French.
In war Won Moltke did the fight M
and the Emperor wrote the kilograms
from the battlefield. Similarly in poll
tics Bismarck plots and schemes, and
often wins, and, when all is ready, the
Old Emperor is trotted out at "inter-
views which take place III the face of
the world, and whereat the harmless old
gentleman ponderously plays his puppet-
part, and thinks he is moving the world.
The real Emperor of Germany is the
heavy-loolling, bUrly man who not SO
many years ago, in despair of his future,
declared that heaven had intended him
to be farmer, and that when he left his
country home to dabble IN politics he
was flying i'll the face OF Providence.
Bismarck has profound and unfeigned
reverence for his imperial master, as is
frequently shown in the volume of his
A." Early Letters" which, with character
istic and amazing frankness, he half
dozen years ago permitted the world to
read. But he plays with him with the
skill and GOODNESS that marionette is
handled by its proprietor. Probably
the last man in the world to suspect the
autocracy of Bismarck is the Emperor
William. Yet every one else knows that
in Germany the Emperor reigns and
Bismarck governs. Cardiff Times.
