CHAPTER IV.
Europe.
The Zugspltze Is the highest peak
tn Germany; it belongs to the Alps
and a panorama can be seen from the
perpetually snow-covered summit that
to worth while. At the foot of this
giant is the town of Partenklrchen, a
great place for tourists, but since the
Isolation of the American continent
the number of visitors has dimin
ished somewhat.
One crisp December morning a tall
young man on skils slid down from
one of the snow-covered side hills of
the Zugspltze. He wore an Alpine cos
tume and carried on his back the
wsual satchel of the mountain climber.
The sack evidently was heavy, yet he
carried it easily.
The early sportsman stopped for a
second or two just about the Tirolean
and Bavarian border. After a short
meditation, he started forward, and
with the agility of a master of the
sport slid downward, jumping down
steep slopes, and soon landed In the
▼alley. He took a peculiar field glass
from his knapsack and directed It
toward the great peak, moving It un
til he found i spot that looked to the
«naided eye like a red dot on the
mountain side. It was the deserted
castle of the great Prince Lulpold,
once reigning prince of the kingdom
of Bavaria.
When he had focused the glass, he
saw a round, ruddy cheeked man rub
bing hie hands vigorously.
“It must be somewhat cool there,”
smiled the sportsman.
He drew a red handkerchief and
made some circular movements In the
air wtth the fluttering linen, always
watching through his glass. Then,
with a satisfied expression, he placed
the glass and kerchief in their respec
tive places and started toward the
town.
The narrow, winding streets were
almost deserted and he used his eklis
even through the town.
There were several hotels around
the square; the Golden Eagle and the
Red Star were the most promising
looking, and he selected the latter.
Unfastening the straps of the skils,
he cast them over his shoulder and
entered the famous old hotel.
At the sound of the stranger's foot
steps in the hall a big, white-aproned
man, whose head was covered with a
Turkish fez, appeared in the doorway
at the end of the hall; in his right
hand he held a murderous looking
knife and In the left a fork. He
greeted the newcomer with great re
spect; it was surprising to see a guest
at this time of the year. The man of
the skils leaned his knapsack and the
eklis against the wall and said, "Guten
morgen. Herr Wirth!”
The big German threw fork and
knife on a table and rubbing his hands
on hie apron to remove the grease,
took the stranger's sack and carried
It Into the office There he put a long,
official blank of reporting paper be
fore him. together with pen and Ink.
It took a long time for the stranger
to fill out all the somewhat Imperti
nent questions, but at last It was done.
On the last line he wrote in large,
round characters the name:
“Chevalier Son apo E di Leon.”
"What can I do for you, chevalier?"
asked the hotel-keeper, who had used
the time to remove his apron and put
on a clean coat.
"First of all, I want some break
fast. then a room, as I would like to
spend a few days here.”
The host’s face shone with pleasure
and he led his guest Into the small
dining-room.
The chevalier's eyes wandered
abound searchlngly; they seemed to
penetrate into every nook and corner.
The host returned, followed by a
girl, who put a snow-white cover on
one of ths tables, then steaming hot
rolls were brought in with coffee, but
ter, honey and some eggs.
The chevalier ate heartily; ths early
morning exercise had given him a
splendid appetite. When he had fin
ished, the host offered him some ci
gars, but he amlllngly refused, assur
ing him that he never used them.
"They are real Saharan, chevalier.”
“Saharan? la that a new braud?**
“Not exactly; wa have had It for
ten yeara. ever eInce the successful ir
rigation of the desert 1 understand
that it is even better than the once
famous Havana"
The stranger looked at the host
thoughtfully, then with some hesita
tion he asked:
“What 1« the name of the engineer
who planned that project? 1 have
quite forgotten."
“You are not a German, chevalier,
otherwise you would know the man
whom all the German speaking nations
regard with hope; his name is Count
von Werdensteln."
The young man started, but recov
ered himself quickly. "How foolish.
I have nearly spilt my coffee. Yes.
Werdensteln; I remember the Dame
now."
"He is our Bismarck, Moltke and
Edison, In one person.”
The young man stared at the host
for a second. "Quite a remarkable
man."
“Indeed, sir, he was selected as
commander in chief by the Interna
tional Federation, for the war against
America.”
“I am sure it Is a very happy selec
tion."
“Well, str, he is a great man Indeed,
but I do wish, and I am sure many
others wish so too, that instead of
militarism, he would devote bls ener
gies to the betterment of the people."
“To industrial, agricultural and finan
cial developments; is that what you
mean?"
"Yes. sir, and above(all else, to lift
ing the burdens from the citfxens. You
know what we have to suffer under
this terrible military rule."
"I am a stranger, my dear host; I
came from where the coffee and slen
der palms grow, so I don't know much
about the happenings around here.
However, I am Interested and pray
that you tell me more."
The good host of the Red Star was
happy to find some one who was glad
to listen to his talk; this stranger
even took his notebook out and dashed
some interesting details Into it.
Later on he found a queer little
newspaper, the Koelnlsche Zeitung.
and read the news section with much
Interest
The same morning he Inquired for
the best tailor In town and Herr
Schulz, the hoet, telephoned for him.
When the little tailor arrived he took
measurements, showed fashion plates
and goods, but the chevalier left the
selection to him, stipulating that all
he wanted was the latest in every
thing.
The tailor touched the cloth the
chevalier's Alpine coat was made of
and examined it closely with an air
of surprise. "This is something new
to me,” he eald at last. “I never saw
a weave like this.” He looked ques-
tionlngly at the chevalier, but he
seemed to be busy with the fashion
plates and did not answer. However,
at the tailor's request, he removed his
coat and that little man looked search-
lngly at the lining, hoping to find the
maker's name. His eyes grew large
when he saw a small tag bearing the
name of a Chicago manufacturer.
Three days later the new clothes
were ready; the Chevalier di Leon
paid for them in gold. It did not mat
ter that the mint stamp was quite old;
indeed, some were of the nineteenth
century, and none of the pieces were
later than 1919. The curious little
tailor noticed this fact, also; be shook
his head again, but kept quiet. That
quality was still golden.

Upon his Inquiry for the quickest

six hours. "It Is quite ingenious,”

whole aerial train was at least 600
yards long. The first and the last bal

and both were connected with some in

supported on tall iron columns.
"Not a bad idea," thought the chev
