word that Mrs. Davis and the child
might leave Berlin for Copenhagen
between October 10 and IL. They
left on the tenth.
A day or two later commenced
the German offensive against Riga,
on the Baltic. Within three or four
days the Germans captured success
sively the Oesel, Runo, Obro and
Moon Islands in the Gulf of Riga and
then carried their invasion to the
mainland. Their apparent objective
was Petrograd and on October 19
the Russians announced that the seat
of the government would be removed
from Petrograd to Moscow.
These successes on the Baltic
failed to overcome the depression in
Germany caused by the serious in
ternal situation in Austria at this
period. Munition factories were be-
ing wrecked by hunger-crazed and
war-weary strikers and the populace
was being shot down in great num-
bers in the food riots which devel-
oped in various parts of Austria. Not
since the war began had the outlook
/ been so discouraging for the Ger
: mans.
Then, on October "a, just as things
were looking their blackest, the great
German -Austro offensive against the
1JaNanS was started. IN three udy )
the Italians were swept out of Aus
tria and the Teutons pressed forward
to the passes west of the Isonzo river
leading to the Venetian Plains. By
the end of October the Italian ar
mics were in full retreat. Before this
offensive was over. the Germans cap
tured. they claimed, no less than
100000 prisoners and several thou
sand big guns. besides vast stores of
munitions and supplies.
The eXultation of the Germans
over the triumph of their armies In
Italy knew no bounds. While it was
at its height had an interview with
the Kaiser which will ever remain
one of the most vivid in my memory
It was about three-thirty one Sun
day morning when I was aroused by
a maid who, in awe-stricken tone of
voice, announced that the Neue
Palais, the Kaiser's Palace at Pots
dam, was on the phone. I went to
the telephone and was informed that
the Kaiser was suffering from a bad
toothache and would send his auto
for me within an hour or so.
I got up at once and packed my
instrum ents, and at six-thirty the
car, a big gray Mercedes limousine,

V/OU do not necessarily spoil a
child just because you indulge
him. This is contrary to the old
idea, of course, but many of the old
ideas are absurd and need to be
modified if not actually cast out.
1t is true that chilren are frequently
INDUCED in ways that are detri-
mental, but the trouble in most
cases is that children are indulged
at wrong times and in the wrong
manner. Indulgence, when prop
erly executed, is one of the most eff
fective instruments in the hands of
parents.

What can I do to make my
nine-year- -old boy quit acting

Scolding has only made him
worse. What should 1 do with

Indulge this boy in the very thing
he likes to do. Get his confidence.
Spend a few minutes time paying
close attention to him and laughing

The Plotters
A New Serial of
East and West
By Virginia Terhune
Van de Water
CHAPTER yyy

Although Clifford Chaplin had said
that the matter of Lizzie Moore was
none of his business. he spent good
deal of thought on it after leaving
his mothers room.
Seated on the side porch, he
leaned back and smoked in gloomy
silence. 1t was strange how inno-
cent country people could be-how
easily deceived by the wiles of wom-
en- and the lies of men.
Yet his father was clever enough
in some ways, Clifford reflected. He
had certainly worked out a clear
plan of action so far as the pur-
chase of the farm was concerned.
The owner, Douglas Wade, could
know nothing of what was passing
in the older mans mind.
And so wise was Amos Chaplin
that he was tolerant of certain
ideas of Wade's that, at another
time, would have tempted him to
rebellion. There. for instance, was
John Butler. Douglas Wade had
sent this scientific farmer out here.
as Amos suspected. 10 spy on him
and to see just how matters were
Progressing, Amos was able TO treat
him with ordinary civility because 1t
was to his interest to do so.
Clifford could understand that.
Yet-what about Lizzie Moore-so-
called?
OF course she was not Lizzie
Moore. He had suspected that soon
after his arrival here. He might
not have suspected it had his moth
er not told him with such circum-
stantiality how her cousins daugh-
ter happened to be staying with her,
and what a nice girl she was. He
had wondered at the time why his
parent had taken so much trouble
10 go into details and why she had
been so anxious to have him under
stand the situation.
Yes, he had always fancied there
was something strange about it all.
AS he had not known what it was,
he had determined TO find out.
He remem bered that his mothers
cousin had several daughters. This
girls brusque declaration that she
had no sister had been the last bit
of evidence that he had needed to
pxove that she was not relative
but was acting a part
Why was she doing this?
He was certain that he had the
answer 10 this question in the letter
that she had received this morning.
1t was written by a man. The hand
writing indicated that. So did her
keen interest in its contents.
He Has n Doubt
Clifford had not noted the sender $
address on the letter until he had
picked 1t up from the steps where
the girl had dropped it. Then, in
the light of the revelation she had
made to him an hour earlier he had

arrived. Besides the chauffeur there
was an outrider carrying the bugle
whose distinctive notes only the kai-
ser may use.
1t was a matter of only eighteen
miles to the palace, but the weather
was foggy and we travelled at a COM
paratively slow pace, traversing at
one point a road which had been
built specially for the kaiser's use.
and it was nearly eight o'clock when
we arrived at the garden gates, VIII ere
two armed sentries were stationed.
A whispered word from the chauf-
feur got us past the sentries with
out delay, and we drove up to the
front entrance of the palace. A cou-
pie of liveried lackeys came out and
took charge of my baggage, which
consisted of three bags containing
my equipment. I was led through
the famous Shell-Room. This room
familiar enough to tourists, is, per-
haps, hundred by seventy-five feet
in area. Its ceiling. walls and floor
are richly embellished with shells
precious stones and other minerals
from all over the world and of every
period. 1t was in this room that
the Royal Christmas had been cele.
brated for many years.
While the Shell-Room and other
staterooms were accessible to visitors
before the war. no one was ever per-
mitted to visit the private apart
ments of the Kaiser upstairs.
On this occasion, however, I was
guided right through the Shell.

read the address on the corner of
the envelope.
He had heard his father say that
Douglas Wade lived in Wyoming.
Then this girl was
He broke off his reflections alb
ruptly, confronted by the question
Why did his parents have her here?
One thing was clear to his sophis-
ticated mind. They believed the girl
to be good and pure-just what she
appeared to be. He himself would
have believed the same of her but
for circumstantial evidence. He had
thought this of her until the re-
ceipt of that letter this morning.
Then the thought had come to him
that some man had sent her here
and with a purpose.
That man must be Douglas Wade.
| His only purpose must be to give
| the girl a quiet, secluded home in
/ the country. where she could rest
and be safe during the summer un-
| til he could join her for his vaca-
/ ton.
Cuffords parents could not sus-
/ pect this. 1t was doubtful If John
Butler knew IL. II was also plain
/ that Douglas Wade thought But
/ ler's attentions so negligible that
/ they would make no impression up
on this pretty girl.
Clifford Chaplin was acutely un-
! comfortable. He did not know
whether his conscience or curiosity
determined him to learn what in
ducements had been offered his IA
ther to persuade him to become
party TO Wade's scheme. OF course
what his father suggested, his moth
er would agree to.
His Father Cornered
Clifford looked about him. It was
noontime-the hour that Amos
Chaplin was in the habit of taking
short rest in the house. Even
now he was coming up the long
path from the barns across the road.
His son hastened down the walk
! 10 meet him.
| He would surprise his parent be-
! fore he had time to think out an
evasive reply 10 his questions.
We'll. Cliff" the farmer greeted
his son. as he reached his side.
PA" the exclamation was so sud
den that the elderly man started vio-
lently. THAT girl upstairs is not my
/ cousin, I know that"
We'll. we'll, and what of it?" the
farmer stammered.
why do you have her here?''
the son demanded.
why shouldn't we have her
here?" the farmer clustered. He
was on his guard now. She's a
nice girl all right, ard no trouble
and a help to your mother. Now
YOU Just keep your mouth shut
about her-understand, Cliff"
why do you have her here y
] Clifford repeated.
Because" the farmer stopped
short and laid his hand on his sons
arm, Wade wants her here. And
| Just now it's my plan to keep on
the right side of Wade till I'm done
with him"
DO you know who the girl is?''
/ Clifford questioned.
! "Of course I do. you fool. You
can keep a secret. so III tell you.
\ She's wade's sister. Why, what
ails you?"
/ For Clifford Chaplin had burst into
a loud laugh. It was not the laugh
of amusement, but of absolute in
credulity.
4 However. he did not explain this
to his father.

each one, suggesting in each case
the number to follow and, after the
last one, say, You're getting to be
quite an actor-I'll have to have you
act for me again some time"
Immediately after making the last
remark, change the subject to some
thing of serious nature but one in
which he will surely be interested.
Speak in low, confidential manner,
which will be such a contrast to
what has gone before that it will be
quite unnatural for him to try to
continue the play.
BY using this method for two or
three days, you will have him under
control. If, after indulging him in
the manner suggested, and after you
have assumed a serious attitude, he
should try to get you to laugh, say,
es, see. but that's ENOUGH
NOW" Then Immediately ask him
some serious question.
Many mothers, in dealing with a
case like that described, would find
IL difficult to keep from saying. "Oh,
you needn't think for a minute that
is cute! You are simply Making a
Ounce of yourself," But this would
be worse than friendly remarks, the
boy would simply take delight in
getting back" at his mother by
teasing her more.
The natural tendency of fathers
in treating the case would be to
threaten punishment and perhaps
handle the boy roughly. But this
is not advisable. because it would
tend to make 80 boy secretive and
the fathers influence oyer the boy
would thus be impaired.
The method recommended is COR
rect because 1t secures results with
out friction. The parent is working
with the child rather than against
him. and since the result is secured
through confidence. 1t will be more
lasting than If the appeal had been
made 70 lower motives. .

condition was all due to the war. AS
a matter of fact, however, when I
came to examine him, l found him
to be suffering from an affection
which, while extremely painful, was
common enough-an inflamed pulp,
which would have resulted in a
swelling and an abscess unless prop

have been attributed to the cares of
war, no matter how heavily they
may have weighed on the Kaiser S
mind.
