alf J. M. BARRIE FOREQEES
EX-KAISER HUNTING K JOR
“I and Willie,” Says Hohenzollern, in Fanciful
Interview, “Took the British at Their Word
and Came Over Here.”
X By J. M. BARRIE.
Sir J. M. Barrie supplies below a pendant to “The Kaiser as | Knew
Him for Fourteen Years,” recently published by Arthur N. Davis, the Em
peror William’s American dentist. X o S e S
By way of postscript to my remi
niscences of the Kaiser, it may be fit
ting that I should put on record some
account of my last meeting with him,
which took place on September 20,
1914, on the anmiversary, as it hap
pened, of the day on which the war
ended.
I had run over to Fngland from
America on a professional matter con
nected with porcelain, and, having a
few hours to spare, it struck me that
1 might profitably pass the time In
visting my erstwhile patient. I had,
indeed, vaguely had some such inten
tion when sailing from New York, and
had br%(uiht 'with me a photograph
of the ser (or all-highest, as he
was always called), in the hope of
persuading him to sign it as a me
mento of the days in which I and he
(or, as he would characteristically
have said, he and I) had played so ex
traordinary a part!
I must confess also to having a
curiosity to see how that part of him
was faring with which 1 was most
intimate, and I contemplated taking a
Jast look at it, of course gratuitously.
I may mention here that just as it
was the Kaiser’s custom to speak ar
rogantly of “my people“—never “the
peopleé—he always spoke of “my
teeth,” though they might really be
mine,
After traveling a few miles west

stress on his residence being in the
W. district—l had no great difficulty
in finding his new abode in one of
the pleasantest streets in Shepherds
Bush (London). The house is No, 20
in the directory, but the mecre cozy
name, “The Rhuubarbs.” is painted on
the glass above the door,
Wilhelm’s New Home,
My first impressions of the new
home of the Kaiser were decidedly
favorable. It is what is called In
England a “semidetached” or, more
familiarly, a ‘“semi,” the term pre
ferred by the Kaiser himself and fre
quently used by him with some pride
when, iater in the day, he showed me
over his various rooms. These are
on two floors, and are seven in num
ber, if you include the bathroom,
which he always did.
It was pleasant to me to note his
pride in “The Rhubarbs.” As he flung
open one door after another, he ex
tlaimed with all the glee of a young
bride:
“This is the dining room, Davis;
try those chalirs, second-hand things,
I don’t think:” or “Observe the paint
ed glass on the landing window—a lit
tle bit 6f all right, eh, what? or
“Now T'll show you Willie’'s bedroom.”

tened t 0 assure me, because there is'
no domestie in the house. |
There is a very competent female
“general,” called by Willle (who wi
have his fun) “Hindenburg,” and by
the Kaiser simply “the girl” She!
was out, however, at the pictures ut"
present, and the Kaiser did the hom- |
ors himself, and did them nxmll
heartily. |
He was looking much better than
when I saw him last, which was at a
time when the responsibilities of the
war had greatly aged both of us and
given a pallor to his countenance.
The nervous twitching of the eye was |
gone and he had ceased to stare a.p-;
prehensively behind him, i
This was no haughty monareh, but
a Jjolly little fellow, happy in him-—
self, happv in his neighbors, a sane
mind, in short, in a sane body, He
was in his shirt sleeves'because, he
laughingly apologized, he had been
engaged about the house op a culinary
matter, '
Otherwise he was in a serivaceable
suit of gray tweeds, with apron,
He recognized me at once and said,
“This is a pleasant surprise, Davis;
come right- fn. Mind the step. You
will stay and have a snack of supper
with ug’—or words to that effect. He
explained that Willie was at the office,
but was sure to be back by the 6:42,
which was his invariable train,
Lighting a woodbine which he had
courteously offered me, I sat down |
with him. to chat of old times, and the
unexpected incidents which had led
to his taking up his domicile in Brit
ain. He said:
“You remember, Davis, how, as the,
war progressed latterly in an unex-|
pected manner, there was a deal of
talk among the Allies about what
should be done with me and Willie
on the declaration of peace. In your
great country, Davis, there seemed to
be a general movement in favor of
making use of a hempen rope and al
stout tree, such as play an important
part In your ravishing kinema plays
of cowboys.
For my own part, as you remember,
I held out for being treated as Na
poleon was, and sent to St. Helena.
Not necessarily to St. Helena, but to
some island as far as possible from
Germany.” >
“Britain Knew Better”
Here he slapped his hand on his
thigh in the old famillar way, and
exclaimed: ’
“But Great Britain knew better!”
“Davis, this wonderful Britain
'saved me; this land of the free proved
itself incapable of malice, the demo
cratic spirit of Britain cried out that
everyone had a right to live if he
worked for his living, and that no ex
ception should be made of me and
Willle.”
I noticed that the old arrogant “I
and you” had gone fmnnau talk; he
alwayy now sald “you a I,".except
when speaking of Willie. © When
speaking of his son, he always said
“I and Willie.” He continued:
- “I and Willie took the British at
their word and came over here with
out molestation, once we had left
German shores. No obstacles were
put in our way; we were told that if
‘we could find a way of making a liv
ing we might settle down and be com
fortable, and we have found a way.
"Davis (here he grasped my hand),
I am now in the dentist line myself.
I had learned so much of the busi
‘ness from you, during our stirring
talks while.l was in my chair, that 1
decided to be a dentist.
“Of course, I can never have such
a position as yours, Davis, for I am
not qualified, but this i 8 a poor neigh
borhood and they don’t mind that. If
you would like me to have a look at
your mouth, Davis”——
But I excused myself, and he con*
tinued: -
“Though I don’t pretend to be the
best dentist in Shepherd’s Bush, there
are people who say I am the second
best; and at any rate I am doing well.
(He looked at me longingly.) I don’t
suppose, Davis, you would consider a
proposition for our going into pa.rt-‘
mership ?”* |
I had to nip this suggestion in the
bud, and to change the conversation
asked him about Willie, |
He frowned a little: \
“Willie had a bad time at first, but
it was his own fault; there was o
little he could do. Also he sulked a
bit. I don’t know if you ever noticed:
it, Davis, but Willie’s tendency was
to be a lazy fellow. I hadn’t been
here a month myself before I got a
Job, but Willie used tp sprawl about,
emoking, and saying it was infra dig,
for him to work. |
“Of course, we weren't set up 80
comfortable then as we are now. We
were digging tn a second-floor back,
and at last I had to tell Willie that I
would fire him unless he paid for
bis own keep.
Willie Earns Shillings.
“After that, he got an occasional
shilling by running after cabs and
the like; but I was against it, Davis; |
the glorious spirit of democracy had
sprung to life in me, and I looked on‘
Willie’s hand-to-mouth way of living
as little better than cadging.
“l made him go to the newspaper
offices and look over the advertise
ments and, after many disappoint
ments, he at last got a place as a
clerk in the Dental “Emporium. He
gets thirty-five bob a week, Davis,
and was complimented by his master
last Christmas.
I hastened to say that, though all
had turned out so well for him, he |
could not, strictly speaking, call this
land his England, but he took me up
stoutly. He told me he now was an
Englishman, for those hospitable pgo
ple had allowed him to become nat
uralized.
Takes Name of “Holly.”
He also dropped the name Hohen
zollern (by letters poll) and had tak.
en that of Holly. He gave me with,
nots unntural elation one of his
business cards, with “Willlam Holly
for the Guinea Jaw” on it. He told
me he had voted for Havelock Wil
son at the last election, ‘
"It was about this time that Willle
arrived from his day's work. 1 saw
him first from the window, as he
walked smartly up the two-yard gar
‘den, and I thought him the beau ideal
of a brisk London clerk. He was Ina
silk hat, black coat and dark gray
trousers, with neat paper cuffs, and
‘carried a little black bag. His lacka
dalsical manner had quite gone, and
he was cheery and friendly.
He received me warmly, and asked
mo to leave my card with him, as
they made a hobby of collecting vis
iting cards.
He was as enthusiastic as his fa
ther about the British, and I noticed
that in any reference to the Germans
he alwawe added parenthetically,
}"Gott strafe them!” I pointed out
that they were now a yery harmless
people, and he replied heartily, “True,
Davis, true; but still, Gott strafe
them.”
Before 1 left I got them both to
sign their photographs, “Yours sin-|
cerecly, Wm. Holly,” and oompllmentsl
and good wishes from W. Holly, Jun.,!
to Mr. Davis.,” I had told Willie to
add the “Mr.”

E SYMPTOMS: ‘‘A very contagious kind of cold, accompanied by fever, pains in the head,
eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and a feeling of severe sickness. Symptoms
disappear in three to five days; some patients develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the
| ear or meningitis.”’ /
—(U. S. Public Health Bulletin.)
WHAT TO DO: Go to bed and call your doctor. < —
WHAT NOT TO DO: Do not try, nor have others administer various remedies.
PREVENTION: There is none that is certain. A new combined vaccine will usually prevent
complications such as pneumonia. A physician (and he only) can administer this.
