Julien had be/n back in the hotel ' about half an hour and in his room barely 10 minute* when he was dis turbed by a knock at the door. Imme diately afterward, to his amazement. Esterroen entered. •What the are you doing up here?" Julien asked angrily. “How dare you follow me about?” “Sir Julien.' his visitor answered. "1 ceg that you will not make a commo tion.

There are many who do not hesitate to say that you have been made the victim ot a political plot, conceived among tno members of your own party; that you are suffering at the present monien? from your masterly efforts on behalf or peace." •'Pray go on," Julien invited. ”1 consider all this grossly impertinent, but I am willing to listen to what you have to say.' "The greatest man in Germany. • Estermen continued, "when he heard of your misfortune, declared at once that the peace of Europe was no longer as sured. I am here tonight. Sir Julien, without credentials, it Is true,, but I am the spokesman of a very great per son indeed. He is anxious to. know your plans.” "I have no plans.” “Your political future, then —" “I have no political future,' Julien interrupted. “That is finishe’d for me.” “But the tiling is absurd!” protested Estermen. 'There is man but you capable of dealing* tactfully and diplomatically with my country. Your blundering predecessors brought us twice within an ace of war. If the man takes your place to whom rumor has already given it, I give Europe six weeks’ peace—no more. We are a sen sitive nation, as you know. You learned how to humor us. Not one be fore you tried. You kept your alliance witli France, but you were not afraid to show us the open hand. There are those in Berlin. Sir Julien, who consider you the greatest statesman England ever possessed." “I listen.” Julien said. “Pray pro ceed." “It cannot be," Estermen went on, “that you mean to accept the situa tion ?” “I have no alternative,’* Julien an swered. "It is not, then, a question of money?” Esterman ventured, slowly. 'The press tells us that you are poor.” “Money, in this case, would scarcely help,” Julien remarked. "There is no man in the world whe can afford to despise the power of mon ty." Esterman said, quietly. “Are you here to offer me any?” * ”1 am not. Have you anything to give in exchange for it?” Julien laughed a little shortly. “I imagined,” he declared, “that with your first remarks you had climbed to the dizziest heights of impertinence. I perceive that I was mistaken. I am a discarded minister”—dryly. "I may be supposed to have in my possession se crets for which your country would pay. Is it not to those facts that I am i indebted for the honor of this visit?*” "Not in the least,” answered Ester man. "Our own secret service keeps us supplied with such information as we desire. Mj' object in seeking you is this. The Prince von Falkenberg is in Paris for a few hours only. He wants to meet you. I have been ordered to ar range this meeting, if possible.” Julien did not attempt to conceal his interest “Why on earth didn’t you say so at once?*' he exclaimed. “What does he want of me?” < Esterman shrugged his shouders. “Who knows? Who knows what Fal kenberg ever wants? He is here, there and everywhere—today in Paris, to morrow in Berlin, next week in Mos cow. Yet it is he. as you know well, who shapes the whole destinies of my country. It is he alone in whom the emperor has blind and absolute confi dence. If he. holds up his hand it is war. If he holds it down it is peace.” “What does he do in Paris?” Julien inquired. Esterman shook his head. “He arrived this morning and disap peared. Tonight he sent me orders that I was to search for you.” "Where is he now?” Julien asked. “At 8 o’clock tonight,” Esterman said, ; declared himself to be Herr Carl Freudenberg, dealer in German toys. He dressed, dined at the Ambassadeurs with Mademoiselle Ixe from the opera, sent for meS learned that I was at the Maison Econ d’Or, telephoned there, and all for this one thing—that I should bring you to him without a moment's , delay.” "But where is he now?” Julien asked again. Esterman glanced at the clock and at : a piece of paper which he took from his pocket. "It is 1 o’clock within a few minutes," her emarked. “Herr Freudenberg is either at the Abbaye Theleme or the Rat Mort.” I Julien scarcely hesitated. "When you first came in,” he admit tetd, "I felt like throwing you out. How you got here I don’t know. I suppose it | is no use complaining to the hotel peo ple. But there is no man on the face of this earth in whom I am more inter | rated than Falkenberg. 1 shall change ■ my clothes, and in a quarter of an hour ' I am at your service. Wait for me downstairs.” | Estermen drew a little sigh of relief. “I shall await you.. Sir Julien,” he de clared. All Faris seemed to be seeking dis traction as they drove in the automo bile along the Boulevard des Italiens. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1912. I Julien sat with folded arms in the cor i nr~ t>. the automobile. He had no fancy ■ for his companion. He was anxious, so : far as possible, to avoid speech with , him. Estermen, on the contrary, seemed i only too desirous of removing the impres i sion Os dislike of which he was acutely conscious. He talked the whole time of I the cases and the women, of everything he thought might be interesting to his companion. Julien listened in grim si lence. Only once he interrupted. “What brings Herr Freudenberg to Paris.’-he inquired once more. r _ster. en was suddi niy reticent. has anairs here,” he said. “He Is also like us others—a man who loves his pleasure. You will tind him tonight with a most charming companion—Made moiselle Ixe. of the opera. Before the coming of Herr Freudenberg. I remem ber her well—the companion at times of many. To< y she is changed, triste when he is not here, faithful In a most un- Parisianlike manner." They swung round to the left. "Herr Freudenberg,” Estermen con tinu'd, "is a great lover of the night life of Paris. He goes from one case to the other. He is untired, sleepless. He seems to' fifid inspiration where others find fatigue.” Julien raised ills eyebrows, but he said nothing. These were not his impressions of the man whom they were seeking. They drew up presently at the doors of the Abaye Theleme. There were crowds of people trying to gain admission. Es termen elbowed his way through. “Herr Freudenberg?” he asked of the man who stood at the door. * ' The man's forbldu.ng face changed like magic. “Ee Freudenberg left but ten minutes ago for the hat Mort. Those'who in quired for him were to follow." Estermen nodded and touched Julien on the arm. 'We will walk,” he said. "It is at the corner there." They presented themselves at the doors of a smaller and dingier case? Es terma.i elbowed tie way up the narrow stairs. They emerged in a small room, brilliantly lit and tilled with people, the usua little band was playing gay music. A corp - , .ent maitre d’hotel bowed as they appeared. "Herr Fre.idenbei g." Estermen began. The waiter's bow by this time was a different affair. ( "Monsieur will follow’ine.” he Invited. At the corner table at the far end of the room—the most desired of any—sat Herr Freudenberg with Mademoiselle Ixe by his side. They met the flower girl coming away w.th empty arms. The table of Herr Freudenberg was smoth ered with roses. There was a shade more color in tne cheeks of Mademoiselle Ixe. In her eyes u light as soft as any which the eyes of a woman who loved could know. Herr Freudenberg, unruf fled, had still the iir of a man who finds life pleasant. As the two, men came up the room he rose and held out both his hands. "Ah!” he exclaimed, “it is indeed my friend of Berlin! Welcome, dear Sir Julien! We meet on neutral ground, is it not so? We meet now In the city of pleasures. Let us sit for a little time and talk, and foi get that you and I once wrote a chapter together in the history —of toymaking. But first,” he added, turning to Mademoisselle Ixe, “made moiselle permits me to introduce a very dear and cherished acquaintance to an equally dear and cherished friend. This gentleman, dear Marguerite, and I make toys in different countries, and there was a time when it was necessary for us to consult together. So he came tot Berlin and I have never forgotten his visit. For the present, join us, dear Ju lien. You permit that 1 call you by your first name? It is after midnight, and after midnight in Paris one permits everything. Now we drink together, we three, for Estermen must leave us, I know. We drirfk together to the mak ing of toys, the building of toy palaces, and the love of >ne another. Come, Mon sieur Albert, see that your sommelier opens that bottle that you have chosen for us so carefully,” he continued, turn ing to the manager who was hovering close at hand. “This is a meeting and we need the best wine that ever came from the vineyards of France. A dear friend, Albert. Bow low to hhn, indeed, for he is worthy of it. Afterwards we will perhaps eat something. Send your waiter. But above all, monsieur, see to it that mademoiselle with the fair curls dances once more. My friend, I think, would like to see her. And we must have music. Let the band never cease playing. Ah! it is here, dear Albert, that one learnr. to forget how strenuous life really is. > It is here that one may unbend. The wine!” While Herr Freudenberg talked the sommelier had gravely served the cham pagne in some tall and wonderful glasses brought from a private cabinet by Monsieur Albert himself to honor his most treasured visitors. Herr Freu denberg raised his glass, clinked it against the glass of mademoiselle, clinked it against Julien's glass. “Come,? he cried, “to our better ac quaintance. to our better understanding! Mademoislle,” he added to lowering his tone, “to the eternal continuance of those things which lie between you and me!” *> Esterman had departed and Julien breathed the freer for it Mademoiselle Ixe chattered io him for a few moments, and Herr Freudenberg whispered in the ENGINEER LATIMER DIES A HERO TO SAVE THE LIVES OF L. & N. TRAIN PASSENGERS Stops His Train Just Before It Would Have Plunged Down Bank, but Is Crushed to Death Under His Engine (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) KEITHBURG, Ga.. May Zl.— The heroism of Engineer J. E. Latimer, of I Atlanta, who gave his life to save the trains passengers, prevented heavy loss of life when train No. 4, north bound, on the Atlanta and Knoxville di vision of the Louisville and Nashville was wrecked near this place Monday. Engineer Latimer stopped his train ion a high bank that overtopped the Etowah river, but died underneath the engine that rolled over on its side. The baggage coach which followed rolled down within ten or fifteen feet of the water, and one more turn would have sent it into the river. The baggagemaster had a few min utes before gone back into one of the day coaches for a drink of water. STRIPLING CASE IN MISSISSIPPI; BUT CONVICT WINS A PARDON (By Associated Press.) JACKSON, Miss., May 21.—Heroism dis played in. the fight against the Missis sippi floods has brought to Harry Hills, a state convict, a pardon from Governor Brewer. Mills was convicted of murder in Vicksburg six years ago and was sen tenced to 20 years' imprisonment. Soon after beginning the term he escaped and settled In Arkansas, where he married. He recently became a father and had a happy home. Then an old acquaintance went to his neighborhood. Mills was rec ognized and the acquaintance betrayed CIVILIAN AVIATOR WINS AIR RACE CONSTANCE, Baden, May 21.—Three of the eight officers and the only civil ian who started on May 12 from Strasburg on a reliability flight, each carrying a passenger in his aeroplane, completed the task set them by arriv ing here today. The civilian, whose name is Hirth, uniformly ' accomplished the best per formance every day. The bulk of the competitors were eliminated on the first day of the competition while crossing the Vosges mountains in the face of a gale. A Zepplin dirigible balloon accom panied the airmen along most of the stages. The route from Strasburg was byway of Metz, Mayence, Darmstadt, Frankfort, Karlsruhe and Freiburg over the Black forest to this city. Young Boy Drowns (Special Dispatch to The Journal.l CHATTANOOGA 1 , tenn., May 21. This morning, Wilbtfr, aged 16, son Os James A. Roderick, a contractor, fell from a raft In the Tennessee river, at this place, and was drowned, being un able to swim ear of Albert, who withdrew at once. “One must eat,” Hepr Freudenberg de clared. “Albert has some peaches, won derful peaches from the gardens where the sv.n always shines. Peaches and macaroons—afterwards coffee. Ah! my friend, you remember those somebre banquets when we all hated one another .because we all fancied that the other wanted what we had a right to? Ugh! When 1 think of Berlin in those days, when no one smiled, when one’s sense of humor was there only to be kept down with an iron hana, why, it gives one to weep! Mademoiselle, 1 have a prayer to make.” "It is granted,*’ she assured him . softly. \ “Presently the orchestra shall play the music of ‘Faust.’ You will sing to us? Tonight is one Os my nights, never really perfect unless yome minutes of its move to the friusic of your voice.” She laughed softly. , “Yes, monsieur, I will sing,” she an swered. "but not the Jewel Song to night. Send the chef d’orchestre to me.” At the merest signal he was there with his violin under his arm. Made moiselle whispered a word in his ear, and he departed, all smiles. The selec tion which they were playing suddenly ceased. Monsieur’ le chef alone played some Italian air which no one wholly recognized, but every one found famil iar. Slowly, he walked around the tables, playing still, always with his eyes upon Mademoiselle Ixe, and when at last he stood before her she threw her head back and sang. The clatter of crockery diminished, the waiters paused in their tasks or crept on tiptoe about the place. Men and women stood up at their tables that they might see the singer better; con versation ceased. And all the time the chef d’orchestre drew music from his violin, and mademoiselle, with half i closed eyes, her head thrown back, filled the whole room with melody. Even ehe herself knew that she was singing as she never sang at the opera, as she I had never sung when a great impresario 1 had come to try her voice, as one sings only when the heart is shaking a little, and as she finished, the fingers of her left hand slowly crept across the table Into the hand of Herr Freudenberg, the toymaker, and her last notes were sung ! almost in a whisper into his ears. The room rose up to applaud. The chef . d’orchestre went back to his place, i bowing right and left. Herr Freuden j berg raised the fingers that lay between I his hand to his lips. “Ah, mademoiselle,” he murmured, “1 | have no longer words!” Albert came back. Scarcely more I than a look passed between him and . Ilerr Freudenberg. Then the latter ; rose to his feet. “Come,” he said. "A little surprise for you. You, too, dear Julien. I in i sist. This way.” t They passed from the room. As I mademoiselle rose to her feet, people I began once more to applaud. "Mademoiselle will sing again pres ently, perhaps,” Herr Freudenberg an -1 swered a man who leaned forward. “We do not depart.” He led the way to. the head of the staircase, and they passed into the back regions of the place, dim, ill-lit, mysterious. Albert, who had preceded them, threw open the door of a room. There was a small supper table laid for three, more flowers, more wine. "It is that one may talk for five min utes,” Herr Freudenberg explained. "Mademoiselle!" But mademoiselle had already flitted away. The door somehow was closed, the two men were alone. (Continued in Next Issue.’ Not one passenger or other member of the train’s crew was injured The wreck occurred where a small stream runs into the Etowah river. Theer is a trestle over this tsream, and the engine's tender jumped the track just after the engine afid the baggage coadh had passed Over. The tender hurled the engine and the baggage coach off the rails. Engineer Latimer, sticking to his en gine. stopped it, as it left the rails. The engine turned over and fell down the bank, pinning its driver under It. The tender and baggage coach also went over and the baggage car broke loose and rolled down the bank, stopping only a few feet from the river. The first day coach partly le ” rails and balanced on the side of the embankment, while ■-e front portion of the second coach, remaining on the trestle, crashed through the heavy wooden work and rested on the ground below, the rear end of the car staying on the rails, and careening high above the stream below. Passengers on the train and those who saw the wreck afterward declare that if Engineer Latimer had not stopped his train, all che coaches would have left the track and rolled into the Etowah river below. him for the usual ,j 0 reward offered for escaped convicts. When convicts were sent to hold back the swollen Mississippi, Mil’s attracted attention by his reckless diregard of peril. He volunteered, even pleaded, for every task which offered danger, but always escaped unscathed.

DALTON, Ga., May 21.—That fore runner of gubernatorial politics, the campaign button, has arrived, but even the button has failed .to create any considerable interest. The fanners are simply disinterested voters at present. Tne weather is such that the farmers have no time for politics. They are putting in every available minute on their crops. Working weather has been slow in arriving, and the farmers are unusually far behind.
