that it would be wiser not to per-
sonally communicate the ill-suc-
cess Of my efforts to the monarch.
He might have become desperate
and done some harm to himself.
Accordingly, I left the hotel 10y

dered into a barber shop for a
shave. I was barely seated when
the barber remarked, casually:
"Your face would look better, sir,
if you wore a mustache like the
kaiser" It was then that the So
luton of the problem burst upon
me. I started up. all covered with
lather as l was and cried: "Can
you sell me a mustache like the
kaiser's? But hist! Not word
of this! We must be- cautious. I"
He stared little, but finally re-
piled: "Why, yes! They are all
the rage"
It WAS the work of but short
time to purchase the mustache,
hurry to Potsdam and wait for the
bouquets. The kaiser regarded
me coldly and remarked: ooh!
About that mustache! It's all
right about that. The unwilling
has been postponed for fortnight
so [ shall not need your services.
Thanks all the same"
Thus, by my genius alone, was
a war averted between two great
powers, a war that would have
caused disaster unparalleled in the
worlds history, an enormous and
unprecedented loss in blood and
treasure and distinct rise in the
price of canned beef. ~

After leaving the presence,
hurried rapidly to my hotel, With

Instantly going to my room, [
carefully locked the door. drew
down the blind, plugged the key
hole with soap, and stopped up the
chimney. Then 1 sought what I
knew would aid me in this con-
