How to aid build up American trade
in Germany is the subject of an inter-
esting and valuable communication to
our state department by Consul-Gen-
eral Guenther, of Frankfort, Germany.
1t is stated as a general truth that
any article of manufacture which finds
a ready sale in the United States will
sell in Germany, provided it is placed
before the public in a proper way and
at a reasonable price. American goods
are usually looked upon with favor
by the general public there, although
rival German manufacturers often try
to disparage them.

NJ AMING OF a SPY
Continued from page 4

Police, and when he appeared he had
been escorted to a steamer, which at once
sailed for the coast of Syria 1t was said
that he would be imprisoned in a fortress
for term of years, because the wrath of
the Sultan burned fercely against crimes
like that of which he had been guilty
Selatin Effendi was thoroughly dis
tressed by the severity with which his
patron had been treated. But he had
another distraction. That same day
man in the livery of the Sultan's palace
brought to Selatin Effendi a summons
to appear at once before Meridian Agha,
the Chief Eunuch of the Sultan's house
hold. This eunuch has such power in
the Empire that to be called into his
presence is either a marvel of good
fortune or the last crushing stroke of
calamity. In Selatin's depressed and
self-accusing mood the summons made
him turn white to the lips. Some one
must have accused him, in turn, at the
palace. Yet his adventures as a waif
living by his wits had taught him the
uses of equanimity, and he showed true
fortitude in entering the mighty presence
of the black man with firm tread and
such calmness of self-control as brave
men show in the beginning of battle,
when the power of the foe yet is concealed.
Meridian Agha received Selatin cor
daily, and proceeded to unfold the reason
OF the summons:
Il am glad to learn that man of your

will be more useful to the State in higher
grade of rank. l have thought it best
to cause you to be appointed Master in
Theology. This will give you an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with our
chief men,
For a moment Selatin was stunned, and
the first thought that awakened his con-
sciousness was of his asinine stupidity in
regretting, a few days before, that he
had not become a 1ackey. His next
thought was that the rank of Master in
the hierarchy carried with it rations,
regular income from the pious fund and
the adulation of ALL Springing to his
feet, Selatin cast himself on the floor
before the burly negro, trying to kiss his
feet, and succeeding in bestowing that
caress upon the broadcloth skirt of the
black mans coat.
"Oh, your excellencyl" cried he.
This is indeed life from the deadl
From this hour my being is at your

of their inmost thoughts. For the rest,
make it a point to see Sami Bey every
day. You will be sure to find him in the
coffee-houses near the Sublime Porte
He will have things to tell you Let me
see you about once a week; but come at
night only-your usefulness depends upon
concealing your visits to this part of the
city. That is all, for now'
Selatin Effendi needed no interpreter
to give a name to the curious work to
which he had been called, nor to explain
that he had reached one of those strangely
fruitful moments which come to men
rarely, but which may mark a triumph
over ill-fortune. He was sure of his
aptitude for the work He was as eager
to begin as the dog that hunter releases
on reaching the place appointed for the
days work He was filled with ardor to
justify the expectations of Zahir Pasha
by reporting the secrets of other men,
ferreted out by his skill His difficulty
was his narrow acquaintance in the city.
He could not see how or where to begin.
In his room that night Selatin suddenly
sat up in bed. He almost could feel the
hair rise on his head. The foolish init
macy of Akif Pasha for Mr. Kellogg might
serve as the topic of his first report.
Should he or should he not do this thing?
A hazy picture formed itself before his
eyes of the sincere, unsuspicious man
whose roof sheltered these cogitations
Kindliness had marked uniformly Akif
Pasha's bearing toward him; it was to
this kindliness that he owed knowledge
of the facts which Zahir Pasha would
clutch with Joy.
Any feeting vision of goodness makes
an adventurer vince. Selatin felt stab
as from knife under the fifth rib. He
could not escape from the thought of the
hurt and the grief which he would cause
his patron by telling of his relations with
the Englishman. On the other hand
he could not sacrifice the opportunity
of lifetime If he told what he knew,
his own reputation would be made.
Then Selatin did curious thing. He
rose, spread his prayer rug on the floor Of
his room, washed his hands and his feet,
and with the regular genuhections pre-
scribed in the rubric he repeated seven
times successfully the little group of
short phrases that constitute the Mo-
hammedan litany of worship. This act
of devotion ended the outward forms of
vaciIlation over what his heart already
had decided to do. His conscience
again took up its proper functions as a
casuist, and showed him that he was
acting under compulsion of religion,
since silence would make him an accom-
plice in the fault of Akif Pasha.
In the morning Selatin left the house
without seeing his patron. He merely
remarked to the servants that duty would
occupy him elsewhere for few days As
for Akif Pasha, he did not know enough
about what went on in his great mansion
to discover that the young preacher no
longer was his guest.
About ten days later Constantinople
was astounded by runors that Alif Pasha
had been detected in aiding an English
man to write a book against Moham-
mechanism The Englishman, Mr.. Kel-
logg, had been arrested at the gate OF
