These three days-or rather a good
part of them-Wilhelm passed in Paris.
He came, as he had done before. accom-
panied by only one travelling companion.
This friend was / am informed, an army
officer, but have not been able to learn
his name. Both he and the Kaiser were
dressed in ordinary travelling clothes;
they affected the style and manners or
commonplace German merchants. 1 need
not say that ON this occasion n. Lepine
was not caught mapping I have heard
his report summarized by the man who.
of all Frenchmen, stands nearest the
| President of France. 1t was at a break
fast in a country house and the pleas
ants We ate had been shot by no one less
august than NJ. Loubet himself. l shall
not rehearse the peregrinations of this
jolly War-lord You can imagine the
perturbations of the French Government
when they knew he was wayfaring from
| one music hall to another, from Max
| ines to the queer little theaters Of the
/ Rue de Paris.
1T was not SO MACH said my friend
{, ':that We feared the good people of Par
! Is would turn npcn him and rend his
/ mustaches, but you know at that time
There was a tremendous Anarchist scare
suppose some crazed Bresci had killed
4; the Emperor of Germany in a midnight
+, ed with gesture that meant scare-heads
and newspaper columns, wars and revo-
/ buttons. Nc You do not care to know
all the advert ur@=s of this modern Ha-

should like to tel you the story of how
the German Legation discovered its EN-
fperor. The third Tuesday in October
there was reception at the German pa
iyllion. German songs were sung. A Ger
man band played All the newspaper
correspondents, who when they are MOI
making wars, sowing dissension or ever
! turning dynasties, are busy hunting par
sagraphs, were there. One of them was
fAlgernorse Dougherty, the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Express. He
drove up in a cab to the door of the Ex-
! position that opened on the Rue des Ma
tions, near the German pavilion. There
was string of carriages waiting there
WAN here for me-. said Mr.. Dough-
erty.
The cabrnan grumbled. for it was Elk
position time and prices were up.
VIII you be long gone, mon bour-
tgeois?' he asked.
Not more than ten minutes said Mr.
iDougherty with journalistic cheek: 81
lonly want to say howdy-do to the EN-
lperor of Germany
'Allez, mon prince said the cabby
5okingly.
Now, next to the cab was a smart
lblack-and-blue coupe; driven by German
coachman. Ii was the private coupe of
the Prince Won Munster, Ambassador of
Germany to France.
| 81 say exclaimed the German coach
man, what did he say?the Emperor is
here?'
/ "Of course" said the Paris cahby dis
dainfuf1y; didn't you know that?"
/ Within five minutes the word was
passed to Herr Richter: within ten min
utes he had a telephone reply from M.
Lepine, declaring that the Kaiser was at
that very moment in the German pavil-
ion, guarded by six detectives. The ram
dom joke of the journalist and the cabby
had come true. Things do happen that
way now and then.
That night the Grant war-lord was
captured and taken by the Prince Won
| Munster to the German Embassy, at
No. rs Rue de Lille. Perhaps the Prince
Won Munster dared to demonstrate with
his august master on the folly or these
i masquerades; at all events, the next
morning the Emperor Wilhelm went back
TO his throne and his duty and his do
jmesticity; equally true is 1t that within
six weeks the Prince Won Munster was
displaced. There is a new German AM
