roughly speaking, provides for a

"a road that starts some place and

one would think that his greatest desire was
to persuade his countrymen that their only
chance of salvation lay in close union with
England
America also is the object of great solicitude
on the part of SHINES, and he at present is
absorbed in vast schemes of propaganda to be
started in the United States in addition to the
one which is already conducted on a far larger
scale than the public here imagines SHINES
is convinced that if only he succeeds in es-
tablishing German influence in this country he
will be on the road to avenging all the humil-
ations which Germany has had to endure One
day, after conference had with him on the
subject of a loan he wanted me to secure for
him from America, he exclaimed "We must
win back what we have lost" and added that
the only way to do so was an enlargement of
the political propaganda he was always preach
ing to his subordnates and friends, concluding
with the significant remark that ''the only way
through which one can return to the dear old
times is by bringing about reconciliation and
close union between the United States and
Germany"
The idea which is behind these schemes of
SHINES to reestablish the Hohenzollern dvnas-
ty on It's lost throne is his secret ambition to
become the Chancellor Of the restored empire.
Then only will he be satisfied, and perhaps
rest upon his labors, if a man like him can
rest. Otherwise we shall never see him relax
his activity or his efforts to bring once more to
life this mighty Germany, which, according to
the words Of Bismarck, his model, was created
with blood and with iron" He is one of those
obstinate Teutons who will never admit that
they have been beaten and who imagine that

after my return to America when I hap
pened to meet the president of the company he
told me that it had been broken by SHINES
under some trivial pretext, which rather sur-
prised me, because / knew what Importance
he attached to his American connections. But
probably the company had not been found SO
easy to manage as SHINES had expected when
he entered into negotiations.
During the time the war lasted SHINES was
the confidant of the former Kaiser, and later
on, after the catastrophe which had driven the
latter into exile had interrupted their rela
tions for while, he still continued to deal
with Wilhelm II. 1t was owing to Stinness
enormous influence over all political parties
that the new German government decided to
return to its former sovereign his immense
fortune, large part of which the latter
hastened to invest in some of the financial
concerns of which SHINES is master.
One of Stnnes's aims is to seize the i'm
n1ense granary called Russia. But here again
we find another example of the artfulness Of
his elastic mind because, far from showing
himself hostile to British policy, he would like.
on the contrary, to draw nearer to England.
which he secretly hopes to transform into an
ether Of his victims. He has vast interests in
England, some of which he likes to speak of
and others about which no one knows any,
thing, except very few of his most trusted
and confidential agents. All through the war
he managed, in spite of the strict watch kept
by the authorities and intelligence department,
to have representatives in London and other
large English cities, and now has general
manager of all his business in England To
hear SHINES speak with this same manager

embarrassment of the first hour. AS the clock
struck IL, Tasurel made sign to his wife that
it was time to leave. They were going to
descend the long staircase, torn by a new
curiosity and with the feeling that there was
mystery still deeper than the one which they
had sought to unravel.
"You must be off? I thank you for having
come. You will come again next year, per-
haps?"
They shook hands. AS she went out the wife
cast an anxious glance at the curtain.

yellow powder from his hair and wiped the
pallor from his face. He took off his rough
coat and became again the well-dressed man
whom The visitors. had first seen. He went
into the adjoining room, lighted another lamp
and addressed the books with which he was sur
rounded:

will be the owner of a commercial fleet which
Will be on the way to outbid the naval power of
England from the mercantile point of view
ne can afford to wait for the DEVELOPMENT of
events which he inlagines himself to he fbe
only man capable of controlling, owing to
the unlimited amount of money which he he's
at his disposal. The only obstacle he sees so
far in these tremendous schemes is the pos
slble resistance of the United States, and it
IS for the purpose of overcoming it that he
directs at present all the strength of his prop
aganda service toward the American shore
But this man is not at all a psychologist
and IN this respect he resembles his compa-
triots, who could never understand the moral
reasons that also played a part in the war
The opinion which he has formed of Amer
lea, for instance, reposes on the conviction
that it is country where everything can be
bought and sold. He is convinced that he
will be able within a few years to control
the press as we'll as influence many public
and political men in the United States In
his opinion, money is everything, and as he
is certain that in short time there will not
exist in the whole world man as rich as
himself he also feels sure that he will be able
to buy America as he has already bought his
way in other parts of the world.
The first American deal which SHINES want
ed me to conclude for him was connected with
his desire to purchase from the American

the political department intrusted with the
mission of watching over the innumerable
foreigners the war had brought to the Swed-
lsh capital. This wise precaution enabled him
to have expelled from Sweden all the people
whom he suspected of sympathy with the Allies.
This close friendship with the Swedish and
Danish police, which Stinnes's agents cult
waited with assiduity all through the war and
which he still maintains to-day, has also an
other advantage. 1t enables his employees
or those whom he wishes to travel about for
his interests, to do so without going through
all the annoyance of obtaining vises for their
passports, which sometimes takes a long time
to be arranged. So one day, when ! was
visiting him in his villa in Sweden he said he
wished to bring over from Copenhagen

whom he was anxious to conclude big deal

he got his agent iii Copenhagen to escort
them to Asa in his own boat, where, provided
the agent was himself aboard, thew could
travel without being troubled with the for
malltles without which other human beings
could not move step. Needless to saw. this
boat was Stinnes's property. And another
agent of SHINES, on another boat. took the
visitors back to Denmark These Americans
were officials of New York steamship com
pary.
They spent whole day at Aso and con-
cuded their contract with SHINES at II o'clock
at night, and at S o'clock on the following
morning they were taken back to Copenhagen

Ill the provisions and carries the books"
There was a burst Of laughter.
sI'll go find him. Wait moment"
The elegant young man disappeared behind
the curtain and presently another person en-
tered. 1t was tho real tenant, the one whom
they had nicknamed Mars-en- Careme. He had
the miserable aspect, the thin, plastered hair
and the unhealthy skin with which they were
