documents to which he attached spe.
cial Importance he did not leave them
in the safe at the chancellery, but car
ried them about in certain yellow
dispatch-box, which never left him
day or night.
"As soon as he understood what I
proposed, he requested me to ring the
bell, and dispatched a messenger to
request the instant attendance Of the
chancellor at the palace.
"The old chancellor came putting
into the room carrying his eternal yel-
low dispatch-box under his arm. He
carefully deposited his yellow box up
on table, before advancing to greet
his majesty.
"'Well, prince, how is the rheuma-
tism today?' inquired the kaiser.
"'Bad, very bad, SIRE grumbled the
old minister
"He then, without inviting the prince
to be seated, put question to him
about some pending commercial
treaty with Russia, which necessitated

low box. The prince fumbled for his
keys, unlocked the box and took out
the paper which his master had In
quired for. The kaiser, after barely
glancing at it, suddenly took the old
man by the arm, and commenced to
draw him out of the room.
"Come upstairs for moment he
cried; you must positively hear the
empress play my last composition.
The court are enraptured with it, and
the royal organist tells me it will re-
place the "Wacht am Rhein' as the
national anthem of Germany
"The prince hesitated, and glanced
at his dispatch-box, which still lay un-
locked on the table.
"'That will be all right said the
kaiser impatiently. See, / will lock
the door of the room from outside
"The instant the door closed behind
them | darted from my hiding-place
and pounced on the yellow box. There,
lying close to the top. was an envelope
bearing the French official seal, and

groan at his rheumatic pains as he
went.
Now, the time had come for an ex-
planation with the kaiser, my abstrac-
tion of the document having been an
unrehearsed effect for which | had
not prepared him. He directed stern
look at me as / came out into his
presence.
Sir he began angrily, why did
you take that paper?
81 gazed at him as If panied surprise.
"'But, SIRE | exclaimed, you have
just repudiated the treaty which
Prince Won Bismarck proposed in your
name, and have agreed that my gov
ernment shall accept your decision.
Naturally it is my duty to reclaim the
document, obtained from my govern
ment by fraud, and to which your
chancellor is no longer entitled
"'That is all very we'll, M. lie Baron,
but it is not the way to go to work.
returned the kaiser, still angry.
"'Perhaps not, sire. But, If 1t comes
to that, neither of US has much to gain
by proclaiming this mornings work.
replied boldly. And seeing that the
shaft had gone home, l continued:
The document which l have substi-
tuted bears a similar heading and Is
equally in the writing of M. Fleuriot,
so that the exchange is not likely to
be detected just at present. In the
meantime If you, sire, will overlook
my having possessed myself of this pa
per, will tell you beforehand of an
other little measure on which, per-
haps, this faithful Bismarck has for
gotten to consult YOU
"The kaiser's face flushed darkly.
"I will say no more about that pa
per. What else do you refer to?"
"'Simply this, sire, that on Satur-
day next the prince expects to receive
Englands adherence to the triple alli-
ance. In that have reason to think
he will find himself deceived.
"And before Wilhelm II had time

news, evidently unwelcome to him, !

"'But this is incredible!' cried.
Can the prince have dared to commit
Germany to this undertaking without
even consulting you? This is worse
than the time of the old kaiser. And
my government was assured that this
new policy was due to your majesty s
direct initiative
"The kaiser sat like one thunder
struck.
Il had now, of course, satisfied my
self that Bismarck was acting without
his masters knowledge. 1t remained
for me to secure the emperor's conf
dence and deprive the prince of any
chance of winning his approval for
this audacious intrigue.
81 turned to Wilhelm II with an ex.
preston of deep regret.
"'Sire, | am overwhelmed to think
that you, as well as my government,
have been deceived by this minister
who has acquired the habit of over
stepping his powers. But l know my
government too well to believe it ca
pable of taking advantage Of this situ-
alton. l was sent here to obtain your
majesty's personal confirmation of
this treaty. l learn that the entire
negotiation has been without your
sanction, and, however disappointing
to France this may be, have no hesi-
taton in saying, on behalf of my gov
ernment, that it will consent to treat
the affair as if 1t had not taken place
"'You are very good, M. lie Baron
murmured the emperor, evidently re-
lieved by this declaration, but still
embarrassed by the consideration that
l had penetrated the state of his rela-
tions with the chancellor.
1T only remains for me to satisfy
you of the truth of my words | re-
sumed, and to afford you an opportu-
nifty of terminating a scandalous situa-
tion. Let me propose to you, sire,
little conspiracy against this gentle
man, who has so nearly made us dance
to his music
"The kaiser smiled and listened with
approval while | unfolded the plan
which | had formed.
During the time of my connection
with our embassy in Berlin had be-
come well acquainted with the chan
cellor's habits. Among other things,
was aware that when he had any

torn open at the end. snatched it up,
and the next moment the fatal docu-
ment was in my hands.
while was drawing it out of the
envelope the key turned in the door,
and the kaiser burst in. As had been
arranged between us, he had left the
chancellor halfway up the stairs, in
the confidence that the old mans
movements would not be quick enough
for him to intercept us for minute,
The emperors pretext for returning
was that he had forgotten his musical
manuscript.
Il had just time to unfold the paper
and point to the words by which it
was headed: Proposal for an Often
sive Alliance between France and Ger
many and to the signature, Jules
Fleuriot,' at the foot, when we heard
the ponderous footsteps of Prince Bis
marck outside.
Now was the time for my great
stroke. Before the astonished kaiser
could tell what | was about to do l
had swiftly crumped the all.important
document into one pocket, while from
another | drew paper similar in ap-
pearance, and coolly slipped it into the
envelope, which | restored to the dis
patch-boX under his very eyes. There
was just time for me to regain my
hiding place before the door was burst
open and the old chancellor stalked in.
He was painting from the exertions
he had made, and looked angry and
disgusted. BY this time Wilhelm II
was buslly turning over some papers
in drawer at the other end of the
apartment. Casting an indignant
glance at his back, the prince went
straight up to the precious yellow box,
locked it, and restored the keys to his
pocket, at the same time tucking the
box under his arm. Then, and not be-
fore, he growled out to the absorbed
kaiser:
"If your majesty can't find the mu-
sic, | will come to hear it another
time
. The kaiser turned round.
"'Do not do that, prince. Go up to
the empress, who has not seen you for
some time. | shall join you in two
minutes
