existence of our Empire, there is nothing to
exonerate us from the serious and sacred obligation to commence the
greatest and most powerful work of reform that humanity can
undertake. Then our path will lead us--from the conquest of nations to
self-conquests."

At this moment the door of the room opened, and a royal messenger,
introduced by the adjutant on duty, handed the Prince a letter decorated
with the imperial crown and the initial of the imperial name.

The first glimmer of dawn entered the open window, and through the tops
of the venerable trees of Hampton Court Park was heard a mysterious
rustling and whispering, as if they were talking of the wonderful
changes of fortune, of which they had been the mute witnesses since the
remote days of their youth.

The blue eyes of the Hohenzollern Prince were shining proudly, while
they scanned the imperial missive. For a few moments a deep silence
prevailed. Then the Prince turned to the Imperial Chancellor--

"It will be a great day for us, Your Excellency! His Majesty the Emperor
will enter London at the head of the allied armies. Peace is assured.
God grant that it may be the last war which we shall have to wage for
the future happiness of the German nation!"
