tary to believe that he would find no
one in the miscellaneous division who
could advise him in the matter, but he
sent messenger to bring to his CT
fee anyone who might be there. Mr..
Allies was at his desk, and appeared in
response to the summons. The tele-
gram was handed him. and in a moment
clear and concise advice had been
given. and Mr.. Allies was bowling his
way out of the Office. This resulted in
Assistant Secretary Nettleton giving
Allies an opportunity for an examina-

which promoted him to salary of ST.

1893.
Since his arrival in Washington he
had been a student at the National

ted to practice before the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia, and
was assigned 10 the customs division Of
the Treasury. He went to the Office Of

President heartily approved the selec-
ton.
The formalities which gave Mr.. allies
the place, officially, were disposed of in
such brief period as to establish
precedent. At Q O'Clock. the recon-

the President. BY II o'clock. President
Mckinley had acted on it. and forward

and invariably adds: "It's hard work,
too, for literary man."
In fairness to Mr.. Brady, it should be
added that during August and Septem-
ber, included in the nine months, he did
not put pen to paper at all. He has
made it rule never to work while on
vacation.
But even all this does not give an ade-
uuate idea of the rapidity with which
Mr.. Brady works. Before he dictates
single line or word he dissects hun
dreds of reference books, many Of which
he finds ready to hand in his historical
library OF over 1000 volumes.

TN the career of Milton E. Allies, As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
i Department, the youth of the
United States have a most striking
example of what persistent effort. intel
ligent. and faithful adherence to duty
and the possibilities of our form Of
government offer to them. Not yet thir-
ty-fiva years of age, he occupies posi-
tion second only to that of a member
of the Presidents Cabinet in a depart
ment which demands, perhaps, more of
its administrative heads than any other
division of the Government.
The relation of Mr.. Allies rise through
service to the position he now occu-
pies as one of the chief advisers of the
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Moody,
reads strangely like the fiction which
is produced with an idea of firing the
ambition of young. men. In his selec-
tion Tor the present position only his
fitness for the place and his faithful
service in the past were considered.
Not many appointments to the Govern
ment service have been made with only
these considerations deciding.
Mr. Allies was born in Shelby county,
Ohio. and from the time he was edu-
Gated in the public school to the time he
entered the newspaper profession in his
native State he had the advantages only
of the supplemental education which
was given him by, his father, who was
en- educator.
During the few years he was engaged
in newspaper work he determined to en-
ter the Government service at Washing
ton, and to this end studied to prepare
himself for the civil service examina-
tions. He passed with credit. but it was
many months before an opening came to
him. When it did come it was for
most humble assignment. He was ap-
pointed an assistant messenger in the

Now, the selection of the woodland
was inevitable to races dwelling In an
unbroken, uncultivated country. But
there was much natural good taste and
insight in this selection.
The forests with the silence of the
wood-life's devotion at the shrine of
nature were marked and hallowed for
the sound of human chants and the
raising Of ceaseless prayer. The trees
arching overhead made natural aisles,
while the far blue vault of heaven was

Thus a novel from the pen of Cyrus
Townsend Brady is revised, wholly or
partially, at least six times before it is
placed between covers. Sometimes this
touching up process is extended, as in
the case of ''Hohenzollern," which was
entirely rewritten for book form after
running serially. In this instance the
story was subjected to revision twelve
times.
From all this it may be gathered that
Mr.. .Brady's pen hardly stops long enough
for its wielder to get few winks OF

declares that this isn't true. His work
