A Narrow Escape


Without delay, dashed out, sought
the emperor's valet, and was admitted
to his majesty's presence.
Three minutes later we were both In
the study. I took up the book and held
it to his ear. Just as had heard, he
could detect the faint ticking of a
watch within.
The book had been followed out and
a bomb inserted 1t was, no doubt,
set to explode between eight and nine
o'clock, when the emperor would be
at his desk.
''Take it out quickly!" shrieked the
kaiser, in terror, when ne realized the
true import of the plot.
In obedience, handling the book very
carefully, 1 rushed with it downstairs,
out into the open. placed it On the
grass some distance away, while the
emperor followed me, utterly astound-
ed at the discovery.
Having deposited it, dashed back
to where the emperor was standing
upon the steps, greatly to the surprise
Of the sentries. when hardly had 1
reached him than there showed a
blood-red flash, followed by terrific
report and cOncussion-an explosion
which would have blown the emperor's
head of as he sat.
His majesty stood white and rigid,
instantly realizing what a narrow es-
cape he had had, while the noise
caused the greatest alarm. and people
began rushing hither> and thither to
ascertain the cause.
In a few seconds his majesty was
calm again
'Say nothing of this, HeItzendorff,' -
he said Let It remain a mystery.
Come upstairs, and VIII speak on the
telephone to the police
"Your majesty gave the matter IN
reservedly into my hands" 1 reminded
him.
%Ah, that is SO; I forgot" he ex-
claimed, and after thanking me he
added: take what steps you ike,
but have the offenders punished, and
also try TO find out who sent me that
anonymous warning"
The young valet, who had been, no
doubt, heavily brfbed by Minckwftz to
substitute the book, had already dis
appeared, and. as matter OF fact, has
never been seen since IN Germany.
