DOOMED BY THE KAISER TO RIDE TO DEATH. A few years ago," says the author of a well- known book on Norway, a young German lieu- tenant, riding down the steep road from Laatefos on his bicycle, swerved from the straight course, and was hurled into the raging waters beside which runs the road. The incident is supposed to have been witnessed by a child and an old man, and a few weeks afterwards the poor victim's body was found at some distance from the spot where the disaster happened. The Kaiser, with two hundred men, arrived to search for the body, and a stone to the soldier's memory has been erected by His Imperial Majesty. There is another story on the subiect which is only whispered- The tragic story that is only whispered" is reo lated in the November number of the Strand Magazine.' The fate of the young German who rode on Ms bicycle to. death in the raging mountain tor- rent of Norway was no accident; it was the ven- geance of the ruler of the German Empire for an act of lese majestéon the part of the victim. The nar- rative, which is one of the most remarkable that have ever appeared in print, is significant as revealhig the true character of the cruel autocrat who has dared to claim the title of the Prince of Peace. Another feature in the November 'Strand' that is .bound to arouse widespread interest isi "The Land Ironclad' by H. G. Wells. This story made its first appearance in the 'Strand 'nearly thirteen years ago, and is now reprinted not only for the sake of new readers, but of many old ones, as, the most startling case on record in which the vision of a fiction-writer has "come true in actual fact. The landlshipof, imagination is the tank in being; the 91 11 description of its doings might have been written at the Front to-day.
