his annual summer cruise along the

his annual summer cruise along the
coast OF Norway. He usually spends
a month, going as far as the Arctic
circle and visits some of the great
fjords, such as Hardanger and Sog-
nefjord. He has made many personal
acquaintances among the natives and
never fails TO see them again every
year. In Bergen several years ago he
took a lonely walk outside the city on
a hot, sultry day and, getting thirsty,
he entered a modest little house,
where lived an old umbrella maker
and his daughter. He asked for a
glass Of water and was served witn
the ordinary Norwegian hospitality,
the people not recognizing him as any
thing but a German tourist. They
could both talk a little German and
the emperor entered into a prolonged
conversation with them, during the
course Of which the good umbrella
maker brought out a bottle of old
Rhine wine and invited the kaiser TO
drink. He finally left them without
disclosing his identity and it was not
until the next year that they discov-
cred who their guest had been, for he
did not fail TO turn up again and visit
his old friends. Since then he never
comes to Bergen without spending an
hour or two in friendly conversation
with his friends, the umbrella maker
and his daughter.
