IContinued from Yesterday. ]

Won Witch reported the incident
to the Emperor, and William, who
was unwilling to lose the General
concluded that Liebenau needed
some of his own medicine. So he
sent for him.
''I will assume that your quarrel
someness is the outcome of over
work and nervous excitement, he
said, forestalling explanations; you
will leave this evening for a siS
weeks holiday" Then he turned or
his heel, while the Court-marshal
stood half daZed.
But six weeks do not last an etern-
] ity and at the end of his vacation
Liebenau seemed to be as much of
favorite as ever. In fact, the EN-
peror appeared to welcome back
with much satisfaction his double,
from whose resemblance to his own
self he had recoiled at moment of
anger.
And if Liebenau had not double
crossed the "Allhighest" himself, he
might have continued to defy the
Empress and cudgle the Court for a
quarter of a century longer.
But he happened to do the Kaiser
out of an ovation at the very mo-
ment when William craved and
needed popular applause more than
usual, and this is what happened
to our tormentor!
"a word with you," said William
| looking his nastiest at the Court
| Marshal on his return from the trip,
this affair of Elbing (the place
where William missed the 'hurrahsD
has opened my eyes to your char
acter and capabilities. 1 can't use
u person who sets my people against
Gods anointment! You have antag-
onized her Majesty, the Court, the
aristocracy. my people, you nave
antagonized ME. You are sacked,
do you hear what 1 say, sacked.
"Roared at and kicked out like a
dog-snatcher," whined the scared
! bully as he went out with bowed
head.
Triumyirate of Ambition, Insolence
and Libertinage
To complete the triumvirate of
ambition, insolence and libertinage,
let me now introduce the kaisers S
friend. who rendered him as infa-
nous as Herbert and Liebnau rem
dered the Empress and the -:
Philip Eulenburg.
Here we have a chartered nper-
tine, whom the Kaiser raised from
the position of an obscure Councllor
of Legation to the greatest honoFs
in the land, whom he enriched at
the taxpayers expense by various
grants and, finally, made practical
overseer of the whole German diplo-
matte corps.
William erected his own statue in
Eulenburg's palace yard, conferred
upon him the title of Prince ana
appointed him Member of the House
of Lords and Privy Councillor.
A wing of Liebenberg Castle, COM
municating with "Phili's" apart
ments, was set aside for Williams
own imperial use - in short, he
showered him, up to the very day
of the Harden exposures, with every
favor in his power.
Eulenburg was Third Secretary OF
Legation in Munich when they first
met at Castle Schlobitten, the seat OF
Count, later Prince, Richard Dohna,
who subsequently stigmatized the
part he unwittingly played by this
chance introduction as the great
folly of his life, never to be sum-
ciently atoned for"
Less than a month after the meet
ing at Schlobitten, the unknown dip
lomat's appointment as Minister to
Oldenburg was gazetted and two
years later-Eulenburg having in
the meantime attended the Kaiser
on his Northland trip-we find him
Ambassador at royal courts, Stutt-
CART and Munich. In 1902 he was
the Kaiser's representative in Vien-
ma when not dancing attendance up
