His majesty has been very seri-

of the memoirs of Prince Hohen-
lohe," he began.

His imperial majesty has rea-
son to believe that, unfortunately,
there is in existence another manu-
script which it would be even more
improper and unbecoming for any
one to publish. It is, in fact, the
third volume Of Bis1narcks renli-
niscences and there is reason to be-
ieve that it is not written in a tone
of entire respect toward his impe-
rial majesty. Bismarck could be
very plain-spoken when he liked
and his name is still remembered in
Germany. His majesty has quite
decided that it would not be in the
interest of the public, that this
manuscript should be published

retary proceeded:
There is only one way to Sc
cure that object, and that is the
manuscript should be obtained and

I smiled.
There is no custody so safe as
that of good fire." l allowed my
self to comment. "Well, where is

Herr Won Lobowitz gave me a
keen glance.
The first question is-are you

Il cannot tell YOU till I know

firmly.
My reply closed the conversa-
ton. The secretary evidently had
his instructions and dared not 60
beyond them. He left me, and l

By EMILY WESTBROOK

Mrs. Van Tromp of New York was q
globe trotter. She was a widow with
one daughter, Madeline, who was oblig.
ed to trot with her mother, but would
rather have remained at home. for Miss
Madeline was sensible girl and. al.
though not averse to seeing foreign
lands. was not minded to spend her
life in circling the world.
In their wanderings the Van Tromps
found themselves in Bombay, India.
having done that. country so far az
women tourists could. Mrs. Van Tromp
was much impressed with the display
OF wealth Of the rulers and especially
the jewels with which they decorated
themselves, for ornaments are dear to
the feminine heart. 1t is quite likely
that If a rajah, covered from his waist
up with gems, had asked for the hand
Of her daughter she would have given
her consent instanter. ...'
But a globe trotter cannot remain in
one place or the term would be mis-
homer. The Van Tromps left the city
of Bombay to sail across the Arabian
sea and pass through the Red and
Mediterranean seas to London. Such
a journey in single vessel requires a
great deal Of time, and those cooped up
together In her are apt before the end
to become pretty we'll acquainted.
Mrs. Van Tromp was sitting one day
on deck In a steamer chair reading an
erotic novel when the wind blew her
veil of her head and sent it sailing
astern. It was picked up by gentle
man with tawny. dropping mustac che,
who handed it to her with profound
bow. He was so distinguished looking
that instead Of giving him the conven-
tional thanks that she would have ac-

ed them with her most charming smile.
The gentleman assured her that she
was welcome and further remarked
that since the day was a trife windy
perhaps he had better find a more pro-
tected spot for her. She accepted the
offer, and the gentleman removed her
chair and rugs to the lee side of the
wireless telegraph Office, where she
was more comfortable.
Now. Mrs. Van Tromp was woman
