One must have been there and seen it fully to comprehend the glory of it. Touching the recent Albany and Washington hikes and hikers let me say at once that I cannot approve the cause of Votes for women as I had approved the cause of Bertha von Hillern. Where she showed heroic, most of the suffragettes appear to me grotesque. Where her aim was rational, their aim has been visionary.
Dawison is said to have remarked that by her retirement the German stage had lost its last genuine tragic actress. Since her marriage Madame von Hillern has resided at Freiburg, in the grand duchy of Baden, where her husband holds a legal position analogous to that of the judge of a superior court.
Many years ago don't ask me how many there was a young woman, Bertha von Hillern by name, a poor art student seeking money enough to take her abroad, who engaged with the management of a hall in Louisville to walk one hundred miles around a fixed track in twenty-four consecutive hours. She did it. Her share of the gate money, I was told, amounted to three thousand dollars.
She was in England under orders, because she was unobtrusive looking enough to be a safe person to carry on the work she had been given to do. She was cleverer than she looked and could accomplish certain things without attracting any attention whatsoever. Von Hillern had given her instructions now and then, which had made it necessary for him to see and talk to her in various places.
Friedrich passed his hand over his face. "I can't understand it. You say Stapfer was in love with Hilda?" "And she made use of him, just as she did of Moller and von Hatfeldt and everybody else who came near her. She overreached herself about von Hillern, though." "It seems treachery to listen to you, von Sternburg." "Treachery! Why, my dear boy "
