The first time the governess met the

Luckily my two Princes rushed
past me to throw themselves upon
their sovereign. and their cousin fol-

had discovered that his imperial Ma
jesty does not care much for little girls
unless they are pretty.
The Kaiser was kind but short in
his greeting OF the children and did
not seem to notice that they expected
to be kissed. Probably he was not
satisfied as to their state of health, as
they had been sent out of an infected
town and he has never conquered his
horror of contagious diseases. With

a little jerk and looking one straight

more one laughed the better he seemed
pleased and the more lively he be-
came. almost like a merry child. But
when the subject was dismissed and
he began 10 think of something else, |
noticed-not only on that day but on
others, later-that occasionally an odd,
wandering. strained expression came
into his eyes. For moment he would
appear older than his age: though
when his mind was fixed upon himself
and he was 'braced' by self conscious
ness, he looked almost young and very
vital, If fattcr than his favorite photo
graphs represented him.
