said wonderful words in such a won
derful way. I dare say it prospered
all the better in my ears because OF
the mystery by which its meanings
were partly hidden I had many
questions to ask and she told me what
were fairies and silks and diamonds
and grand ladies and noble gentlemen.
We sat down to one of our familiar
dinners Of salt pork and milk gravy
and apple pie now enriched by sweet
pickles and preserves and frosted
cake.
A query had entered my mind and
soon after we had begun eating l
asked:
"Aunt Deel, what is the difference
between q boy and a girl?"
There was a little silence in which
my aunt drew in her breath and ex-
claimed, "W'y!" and turned very red
and covered her face with her nap
kin. Uncle Peabody laughed so loud
ly that the chickens began to cackle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunkelberg also covered
their faces. Aunt Deel rose and went
to the stove and showed the teapot
along, exclaiming:
Goodness gracious sakes alive!"
The tea stopped yer on the stove.
Uncle Peabody laughed louder and
Mr.. Dunkelberg's face was purple.
Shep came running into the house
Just as l ran out of it. l had made

thing wo. Sc than tipping over a what
not. Thoroughly frightened l fled and
took refuge behind the ash-house,
where Sally found me. l knew of
one thing l would do again. She
coaxed me into the grove where we
had another play spell.
1 needed just that kind of thing,
and what a time it was for me! A
pleasant sadness comes when L think
of that day-it was so long ago. AS
the Dunkelbergs left us l stood look
ing down the road on which they
were disappearing. That evening my
ears caught a note of sadness in the
voice of the katydids, and memory
began to play it's part with me. Best
of all l remembered the kisses and
the bright blue eyes and the soft curly
hair with the smell of roses in 1t.

Mr.. Dunkelberg was a big, broad
shouldered, so~lemn-looking man. Some
how his face reminded me of a lions
which | had seen in one of my pic
ture books. He had n thick, long, out
standing mustache and side whiskers,
and deep. set eyes and heavy eyebrows.
He stood for half a moment looking
down at me from a great height with
his right hand in his pocket. I heard
u little jingle of coins down where
his hand was. 1t excited my curiOs-
ity. He took a step toward me and
l retreated. l feared, a little, this
big, lion-like man. My fears left me
suddenly when he spoke in a small
squeahy voice that reminded me OF
the chirping of a bird.
Little boy, come here and l will
make you a present" said he.
1t reminded me of my disappoint-
ment when uncle tried to shoot his
gun at a squirrel and only the cap
cracked.

piece ir the palm of my hand. Aunt

With a smile the girl came and Of
fered me her hand and made a funny
bow and said that she was glad to
see me. l took her hand awkwardly
and made no reply. I had never seen
many girls and had no very high opin-
ion OF them.
AS we sat there I heard the men
talking about the great Silas Wright,
who had just returned to his home
In Canton. He had not entered my
consciousness until then.
While I sat listening I felt a tweak
of my hair, and looking around I saw
the Dunkelberg girl standing behind

PREFACE

For IL years the kaiser was
my patient. All know of him
and all that he told me came to
me while the relation Of patient
and dentist existed between us.
For that reason ] felt ut first
that, no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation ! could give MS to the kali
ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans. the requirements Of pro-
fessional ethics mu st seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from the world nj large.
When, however, I considered
the grave crisis that confronts
the world and in which my own
country is playing 70 important
a part, and realized that what
knew Of the kuiser might prove
of some value to civilization. /
concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose su.
perior to any Of tile ordinary de.
mands of professional ethics.
In this conclusion 1 was
strengthened by TIE urgent solicit
tation Of the leaders Of my pro.
fession who were most emphatic
In their contention that my
ethical qunlms were entirely un-
warranted in view Of all the cir
cumstances.

many's having sent a gunbont to Agn.

Gus In her demands. the kaiser had
great hopes that war with France
might thus be precipitated and he was
confident that England would keep out
Of 1t.
England would be afrnid to war
with U.s. h, told me at the time. for
fear of losing Egypt. India and Ireland.
Any nation would think twice before
fighting my armies. but England par.
ticularly because she would not dare
% risk the loss Of her overseas colo
Mes"
When the kaiser's ambitious project
to dominate the world Is considered,
his consistent opposition to the univer-
sal disarmament proposals is easily
understood. Without superior army
and navy. his whole plan would have
to be abandoned and his dream Of
worldwide dominion would be shat.
tered.
On one occasion when we were dis
cusslng the Carnegie peace efforts,
the kaiser disclosed very positively
just where he stood ON the proposition.
Look at the history Of the nations
Of the world" he declared. "The only
nations which have progressed and be-
come great have been warning nations
Those which have not been ambitious
and gone to war have amounted to
nothing!"
Shortly after Wilson had pointed the
way to peace in Europe in one Of his
notes to all the belligerent powers the
kaiser called to see me professionally
and we discussed that latest phase Of
the situation.
1.-THE way to peace now seems per-
fectly clear" I ventured. "Only your
majesty's ever-increasing army and
navy stands In the way. II Germany
will give up her armament. It seems.
we would soon have peace"
"That is out of the question for Ger
many" replied the kaiser. decisively.
1--WE have no mountains like the Pyre-
nees to protect us. We have the open
plains Of Russia with their vast
hordes endangering us. No; we shall
remain armed to the teeth foreveri"
