New York. There are always more
than one, and they are called secret
agents because, although representing
the same government, they are nearly
always unknown to each other. The
reason of the existence of these secret
agents need not be stated here, but
they are considered necessary to the
safety of every president of Santo
Domingo.
"The gentleman in question was a
friend of ours. At this time we were
engaged in exploiting mining property
which we owned in Peru. Mrs. Reader
at that time, had been invited by the
president of Peru to act as his agent
in this country, and the papers ap-
pointing her fiscal agent were being
prepared by William Nelson Cromwell.
"She was about to go to Peru with

She went to London in 1899 and be-
came connected with the firm of j. G..
White G. Co. She had not wasted her
time in Wall street. The sultan of
lahore came to London. He had up
his sleeve the contract for the building
of the lahore railroad, costing $5,000,-
900. Miss Rawls met the sultan So
cially. J. G. White & Co. got the rail-
road contract.
The tuppenny tube had been built in
London, but was troubled with vibra-
ton. There was a call for somebody
who could cure this evil. Miss Rawls
was associated with the Sprague Null
tiple Control company. She took a
look at the vibrations, and in 1901 the
Sprague company got the contract for
stopping the shudders.
Her Second Husband.
Miss Rawls was still in the employ
of J. G. White & Co. when, in 1901, she
met and was won by Mr.. Reader His
career had been quite as interesting
as her own. He was born in New Zea-
land. a British subject He is rather
short, very dark, with black eyes and
mustache. He could pass as a South
American any time He was private
secretary to Sir Charles Evan Smith.
the British minister to Morocco, in
1892. In 1897 he became private secre-
tary to Sir West Ridgeway, governor
of CeylOn. Various circumstances
caused him to become familiar with
affairs in Peru, and while he was still
interested he met Miss Rawls in Lon
don and married her Together they
have worked since then, and together
they now stand. Mr.. Reader has the
deep mind, Mrs. Reader the quick wit.
They worked out a great scheme of
mining improvement in Peru and in
terested the western copper Million
aire, James B. Haggin. According to
Mr.. Reader, he and his wife were to
have 10 per cent. commission for pro-
noting this scheme and, according to
the same story, the plans went through
beautifully, except that the 10 per cent.
was not paid.
The Peru financial arrangement is
said to have stopped threatened rev.
olution in that country.

country, and their relations with Will

that they are more than a little sus-
picious that it was Mr. Cromwell who
betrayed their dealings with the dis
tressed republic to the Washington
government and caused the bargain

knocked in the head
''It was in the fall of 1904" said Mr..

clusion of the pact, controlling the

Nevertheless had the plans of Mrs.
Ella Rawls Reader successfully ma
tured she would to-day be financing
the republic of San Domingo and at
tempting to place the country on good
terms with its neighbors; but when
everything seemed to be progressing
favorably her deal was rudely nipped
by the failure of the United States
senate to ratify the treaty which had
been prepared.
1t was just before the adjournment
of the special session of the senate
that Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
made public some interesting Informal
ton regarding the San Dominican
treaty and which has served to show
that Mrs. Reader, although practically
unheard of before, is without doubt
one of the most daring promoters of
the day. She is a woman with a re-
markably interesting history. Her
husband is Athole B. Reader, formerly
of New Zealand, Morocco and Ceylon,
but now a citizen of the United States.
He has ably assisted his shrewd wife
in her undertakings.
Life of Mrs. Reader.
Mrs. Reader is said to be 80 years
old, but she looks younger. Her COM
plexion is wonder; her figure is girl
tsh. She was born in Marion, Ala, of
a family closely acquainted with Sen
ator Morgan and other statesmen.

terest and the senators shiver as they
think of the millions of microbes that
are swarming in the carpets and
through the atmosphere of the cham
Der. There are more hypochondriacs
among the senators than can be found
in the same number Of people elsewhere.
A slight cold is sufficient to keep the
average senator at his house or hotel,
and the weather map in the marble room
is consulted almost hourly for possible
changes in the temperature.
The senator's are almost amusingly
credulous of any reports that may be
circulated about the physical condition
of one of their number An illustration
OF this has just been furnished. Senator
Knox, of Pennsylvania, was attacked
by the grip about the middle of January.
and, after fighting the disease for few
days, obeyed his physicians orders and
went to bed. He had regular siege Of
this troublesome malady, and then, just
before congress adjourned, went to
Florida to regain his strength. Imme-
d1ately stories were circulated that Mr..
Knox was in the grip of fatal disease.
and that he was not likely to again take
his seat in the senate Senators shook
their heads and expressed deep sym
pathy to each other with the Pennsyl-
van1a senator They did not hesitate to
accept the report as true, and repeated
it so that it was generally believed
Mr. Knox in the meantime was down in
Floroida gaining strength every day and
putting in hours on the golf links and
acquiring coat of tan that would do
credit to farmer. He was tfnuch
amused when he received messages of
sympathy and wired his friends not to
be alarmed, as he was eating three big
meals day and was ready to tackle
any of his colleagues at golf.
