nected with the woman at the time
had known her, but what they were
could not recall. l saw. however, thai
her memory was better than my own
and that she knew me, and because oil
that fact had already grown apprehen
slve.
1t was not In Berlin society that
had met her. OF that felt assured
just as certain, indeed, that her real
name was not Rosales.
! While l had been out watching the
woman on the previous night the EN-
peror had also taken a stroll through
the city. What, wondered, would the
Berlin police have thought If they
knew that William was walking about
at night unguarded and unattended at
The Hague.
AS l sat with him attending TO some
correspondence and taking down a
number of instructions regarding i'm
portant matters at the Wilhelmstrasse,
he suddenly broke off and told me
how he had, on the previous night,
spent an hour drinking Dutch beer at
that popular resort of tradesmen and
their wives, the Royal Brasserie.
Nobody recognized me-" he laugh
ed. II found out that they sold the
best beer one can get outside Germany,
and I really enjoyed it. l sent for you,
but you had already gone out. Did
you go to the theater?"
NO" was my reply, and then I told
him practically what have related in
the foregoing lines.
How curious" exclaimed his ma
jesty. 81 would much like to see this
mysterious Spanish lady. She must be
interesting"
At first l tried to dissuade him, but
he was so persistent that 1 described
at which table she sat at lunch, and it
was agreed between us that while we
were eating our meal he should come
to the door of the dining room and
peep in.
This the emperor did, and cleverly,
too, for she never saw him, being at
that moment engaged in conversation
with q waiter.
When / rejoined him in his room
he said: mo, Heltzendorff, have new
er seen her before"
swell, majesty" I declared. 81 am
certain I have seen her or her photo
graph somewhere, and that she Is not |

"She's an adventures most proba-

A Trip to Berlin for Information.
His words impressed me. An hour
alter I went to photographers and
for surreptitious portrait
% be taken of Madame Rosales the
lext time she took a walk.
All day the young photographer
the vicinity of the hotel until
he light faded. Yet next morning as
The came out he snapped her without
Ter knowledge, and in three hours 1
lad rough print of it In my pocket.
That night, after writing down q
'reat mass of memoranda, instructions
o various departments of the state, /
eft again for Berlin, with orders to
ing up Herr Zeller on the telephone
rom some unsuspicious place every
light at ten o'clock.
/ returned to the Berlin Schloss abb
olutely mystified, and next day spent
he greater part of the time visiting
he chancellor and the various minis
ers, and giving them the emperor's
ommands. Then at about six o'clock
called at the chief bureau of police
4 the Alexander Platz, and entered
he private room of old Leibbrand, who
I that time was chief of the detective
ervice.
To him I showed the surreptitious
of Madame Rosales. The
stute thief catcher removed his spec
acles, and examining the picture with
he aid of a big reading glass, gave
ent to a loud grunt.
In response to his bell younger
nd more alert man entered, and to
i'm he handed the photograph, saying:
''Please see If anyone recognizes
MS. l believe debut may be mis-
lken."
He then became inquisitiye as to !,
here and how l had obtained the pic
