CHAPTER Xxx.

Early as It was In the afternoon. the
light was already beginning 10 wane,
and Strong had no desire to let night
fall about him before he had accom-
plished the capture OF Potsdam.
He was conscious that after he had
set the wireless instrument there
came continuous little flashes through
the glass side. but to these he paid
no heed, thinking that II would be just
as we'll II his majesty were made to
suffer the experience OF waiting.
In the Victor" he went straight to
Potsdam, knowing that the distance
was so small that he could convent
emily reopen negotiations with the
palace via the Chancellerie the mo-
ment II became necessary so TO do.
Berlin, he was satisfied, was in a
salutary state OF panic. He rather
chuckled TO himself 10 think OF the
effect that his visit had already Gre
ated-not because It pleased him to
disturb the security or the pleasures
OF the people. but because Of the de-
lightful political tangle that he knew
must follow on his appearance.
(To he Continred.)

II was the kaiser who made the first
overture. and a message was sent ask
ing whether Strong would elect 10
have personal interview with his ma
jesty.
Strong licked back:
NO: that is not necessary. I can
conceive OF no more pleasing method
OF enjoying his majesty's society than
that he should be my guest for the
weekend at Potsdam. AS. however.
II Is inconvenient for me that the
kaiser should call tonight, am gra
ciously disposed 10 postpone his visit
TO the morrow. I shall therefore ex'
pect him at noon"
The reply which he got was that Il
was impossible for his imperial mates
ty TO consent 10 any such proposal.
"Potsdam Is the kaiser's and not Mr..
Strongs. and Potsdam will remain the
residence OF the German emperor"
All that Strong made answer was:
I'VE shall see"
And he shut of the instrument

He had no intention Of doing any
such thing, but the threat told. The
easy manner in which he had dealt
with the Deutschland had struck fear
into the Official mind.
So presently there came an answer
that the kaiser would communicate
with him IL he so pleased.
Strong was so pleased
He was given To understand that
any message which he now repeated
would be passed on by telephone 10
Potsdam. Strong did not spare the
kaiser.
Adopting a conversational tone, he
twitted the emperor on the past
You see, have come back, your
majesty" he licked, even as | said |
would. Now require your presence
in Berlin"
The answer was: The kaiser re-
mains in Potsdam."
Again Strong uttered his threat Of
destruction OF Berlin. and the reply
came this time in amended form:
His majesty. seeing that duty calls
him to the post OF danger. has decided
to return TO Berlin at once, and il Mr..
Strong so chooses, he can have parley
with him there
Strong so chose
IL was a full two hours, however,
before any further communication
came. and, lowering above Inter den
Linden. he was able to note the fur.
ious passage OF the kaiser's car from
the gates OF the Thiergarten, up the
double avenue, across the bridge over
the Spree, and so TO the castle.

PASSING EVENTS

The week brought US plenty OF In
teresting incidents and introduced us
to some new people: II gave US some
new experiences and afforded MS not
little food for reflection. There was
the apple show as starter, with SEN
ator La Toilette as an accompanying
feature OF the first -of the week events.
Then came the formal organization Of
the boosters into the $4,000 Cuban
event which did not receive the meas
ure OF attention which il deserved.
There were visits from lot OF good
people, drawn here by the apple show,
and the week ended with the most
sensational of the developments In the
case of DIR. Cook. with Missoula as the
center with the weight of evidence de-
cidedly in favor OF the doctor In the
controversy regarding the Mount Nc
Kinley exploration. Important prog
ress was made in local Improvement
matters, and. all in all. the week was
one of the most important that Mis-
soula has passed through this season.
II was a good news week, and. as
usual. The Muscular was there with

POOR TAcTicS-The latest phase
of the Mount Mckinley controversy is
interesting chiefly in that it promises
to serve the purpose of disclosing the

said heretofore. IL Is certain that DR.

PAViNG-Eefercnce to the paving
of the roadway on the bridge suggests
the question of paving Higgins avenue
and its cross streets. The week wit
messed some developments in this di-
rection that We're encouraging. The
mayor and the city engineer spent a
block pavement that is being put in
at Great Falls in the endeavor to find
out rs much as possible about the ma
tsrial and the methods. The informa-
ton which they gained will be of serv-
ice when Missouia gets 10 face the

he done soon is probable. II seems likely
now that the question raised by the
state board of health as to Missoula's
right to use the river for drainage Tor
its sewer system will be determined in
the city's favor Ii this is the case,
the projected Higgins avenue sewer
system win be installed as rapidly as
possible. this done. the most serious
obstacle in the way of the paving of
the avenue win be removed. and it will
be time In talk definitely about paving
the business district. Mayor Logan's
plan is working out satisfactorily, ana
the results Of his calculations viii soon
be apparent
