The ftorv goes that he bogred the Kaiser to accept the farm as a gift, and in return William made Yim a Knight and member of the ipper house. ; Cadinen at tlre time of the gift nowever, was not a thing to boast of Manv of the kbuildings were ready to collapse, the | cattle were bony, and the only crops Man | and beast slept under one roof. There | was pasture land that had not been tilled for generations. The Kaiser began to study agri- culture, Victoria, who owned a dairy farm at Windsor, gave him many pointers. It did not take him long to transform this almost barren tract in- | to a profitable farm Instead of { me rely rye and potatoes he began to | raise wheat, oats, barley and sugar | beets, The potatees at the start did { not' come up to expectations. The first crop was soapy. The Kaiser tried again, however, rand in the end raised the fine white tuber which is now famous through: out Germany. He imported tne finest cattle No expense was spared in procuring the most modern farming implements, the Kaiser sending as far as America for a spirit motor churning outfit It is, said that the farm at Cadinen now yields an an- nual income in excess of $20,000. he Kaiser owns a majolica fact- ory, whose products are all exhibited in the Hohenzollern Art Store in Ber- lin This pottery industry is one of the hobbies of the Kaiser Many of the new designs for vases, friezes and plagues, as -well as new kinds of carthenware for mural decorations, are his.

The girl came quietly forward and took the seat he offered her. "{ have rome in answer to your advertisement for bookKkeepers. 1 saw your father downstdirs and he sent me to you." "Do you want a place?" "Yye," she answered simply. "Where were you last employed"? At this the girl colored slightly and answered that she nad po practi- cal business experience; but that she had always kept the books at home, and that she really knew bookkeep- ing. agreed to take Lier name and address and to let her know if se were need- ed. Julia Burling, she said, was her name, and when he 2sked the very inquisitive, and entirely unnecessary question agto her age, she said that she was 21° » When Miss, BurlingMert the office, young Howard went with her to the door and*followed her with his eyes down the hall. She was an interest- ing girl, and Lawrence Howard was always looking out for interesting persons ~~ Although, after four vears in college, . he had been made junior partner in his father's business, he was still a student. He enjoyed the unusual in human nature. This Miss Burling seemed to him unusual. She was refined and gentle, and the changing color in her face made her precy Sie said that she had never been emploved, and Lawrence coald have guessed as much "Likel"" he thoug "she doesn't know a thing about it; but I'll try her." So Miss Burling entered upon her duties at the office of Howard & Howard. From the first she showed that she understood the important points in her work, and the minor de tails she grasped readily under young Howard's teaching. He continued to be interested in the girl vith sweet, sad face and the dark eyes that seemed to have brightuness hidden away in them. Often he had occasion to close or open the window near her, or to pick up her fallen papers; and the smile with which she ' would thank him for such courtesies showed that she could be decidedly beautiful if only she were happier. One day, when they happened to leave the big noisy building at the same time, he walked home with her, and the thusiasm with which she listened his talk charmed him. One day, about two months she had come to the office, Miss ing asked Lawrence to help her ake in Her accounts. As she directed _his eye along the lines Af figures, he noticed on the ring-finger of her left hand a large diamond soli- taire. Somehow the sight did 'not please him That evening, impelled omething which he told himself curiosity, he went home with her again, and when they reached her hoarding house she invited him up into her sitting room Lawrence went, He found room furnished in mahogony, handsome rugs upon the floor and copies of well-known pictures upon the wall. When he complimented her taste she.smiled and said: 'Yes, these things are my own, of course. 1 saved them when cverything else was sold." Lawrence never had known her offer so much information coancern- ing herself, and though he desired fo know more he could not find it in him to ask. In vain he searched the walls, the mantle and the stands for the photograph of a young man---ol her fiance Why was she innmourn- ing, apd where did her ring com from? Prseently he looked up from his absorption to find that Miss Bur ling was busy setting a little table for two. She smiled in answer to his-in- quiring glance. "Oh, you're going to have supper with me," she said. 'I haven't had any company for a long time, not since 1 have been living here Y ou see, | cook my meals myself except on Sundays and holidays; 1 find it cheaper." = After their simple, dainty' meal, which Howard enjoyed to the fullest, Miss Durling sang for him in a sweet, partially trained voice, some old love songs and ballads Lawrence Howard knew that night before he left Miss Burling's little sit- tingroom that he was more than in- terested in her He knew as he walked home, happy in the memory of her smile, that that Smile was to him more than beautiful Summer had come and gone Burling had returned to the after a two weeks' holiday {rence noticed that she still | black, and that diamond solitaire | had told him, he remembered, first evening when he visited little sitting room, that she had not had any company since she had been | living there. He adopted the plan of calling to see her on Monday evening of one week, Tuesday of another, Wednesday of another, and so on, un- til he had assured himself that she had nwo regular and permanent visitor He had sometimes visited. her unex pectedly, and though he often found girls with her, never trace of her | lover could he find. One evening when he called, inthe early spring she was dressed in a soft, yink gown. Lawrence never had seen her in anything but black and he made no effort to conceal his admira- tion now "OhT<ghe said, coloring as she no- ticed his fixed gaze, "I felt so queer putting this on.
