The red corpuscles, on the other hand

If the red corpuscles and the snh

1t Is common to speak of two form,
OF anemia-primary and secondary
Primary Is the term used when III.
anemia can be traced to no deAnIta
cause, but seems to be a disease In IL
self. Secondary is the word used when
the anemia IS evidently the result Of
some other condition, such as wasting
diseases or poor nourshment. II Is
then only one Of the symptoms Of such
underlying state.
Among the chief causes Of secondary
anemfa are drains upon the system BY
frequent losses Of blood, or by diarrhea
or other wasteful discharges, chronic
poisoning by lead or mercury, by the
essential posions of certain diseases,
such as rheumatism and tuberculosis,

ted States government up to standard
which places it on par with the best
police forces in the country.
In country where men vote and
have a voice in the choice Of their rul-
ers. there is less Of political crime
against the STATE than In European
countries, where men are dragged from
home and Preside and confined to dun
geons for years to expiate crimes that
are considered as nothing on this side
Of the water. For instance, a German
paper that came to the newspaper Of
fees on this side less than q month
ago contained a long. account about a
German who was sentenced to six
months In a military prison because he
drew a picture Of his Emperor lying In
bed snoring. Under the picture was the
caption, wake up to the needs Of your
people, oh, sleepy head"
This picture was found pasted on a
dead wall In a small city and tho Sc
cret service bureau spent some time in
tracing the crime to the perpetrator.
Happily the secret service in this coun-
try is not called upon to trace the au-
thorship of cartoons against the Prssi-
dent. If 1t were, its force would have
little time to do anything else.
The secret service through Its chief
keeps in touch with the big police sys-
tens Of other countries and in that way
Is able to follow the movements Of so
called dangerous Anarchists who may
DO sent to this country to take the life

country Is guarded against counterfeit
ers and in a thousand ways the secret
service proves Its value every day.

this Marnac. How do you stand with
| him, Cousin Robert?"
Il don't quite know. 1 was a great
favorite of his in my first year."
"And now? Have you quarreled?'
well, not exactly; it's a foolish
story"
THE foolish stories are often of great
er interest than the wise ones"
well, cousin Graden," said I, lean
| ing back in my chair and lighting a fresh
cigarette. eff you want to hear it, I'll
tell it you, and as shortly as may be.
1t began by the publication some six
months ago of Professor Marnac's cele-
brated book, Science and Religion
"Humph! a strong effort, full of sug-
gestions," he grunted; ''but brutal, cal
lous, and revolutionary. 1t had a mixed
reception, l believe"
at had; and nowhere more so than
in this university. Won Stockmar fol-
lowed it by a pamphlet of unsparing
criticism, which split the students into
two bodies-the Marnac men and the
Stockmar men. 1t was pretty quarrel,
and gave an excuse for a score of the in
evitable duels."
Did Marnac attempt a reprisal|
He did, and in the unusual form of
reading aloud Won Stockmar's attack
upon his theories to the class, of which
l am a member. He appealed to us for
sympathy. His agitation was remark
able. declare that he snarled over his
opponents name like a dog over a bone.
and most unpleasant scene ended in a
fit. from which we aroused him with
difficulty"
But this does not tell me how you
came to be involved" he cried sharply,
striding over to the table and Pumping
himself into chair facing me.
Have patience, my impetuous cousin.
From the first 1 had always found a
friend in Won Stockmar. liked him and
we met frequently. The second day after
the scene in the lecture-room I was walk
ing with the CHEEKY little man when we
CHANGED upon Marnac. He gave me an
ugly look, but said nothing. That night
however, he came to these rooms and
abused me roundly. He reminded me
OF the interest he had shown in my work,
called me a traitor to his party, and in
other ways behaved with a childish alb
surdity. Naturally, 1 refused to give up
a valued friend"
"You did right. But surely the affair
has blown overY
ITO the contrary, the antagonism-on
Marnac's side, at least-has grown still
more bitter. Whenever l chance to be
present, he misses no opportunity of at
lacking my dear FRIEND as he calls
Won Stockmar. In the most cruel and
vindictive fashion. My position at his
lectures Is, assure you, becoming most
uncomfortable"

Graden checked his unfinished sent
ence with his nose cooked In the air
like gigantic terrier. Surprise and sus-
picion were in his expression and atti-
tude. Then he rose slowly, as with an
effort. and leaned forward across the
table. his knuckles resting on its edge.
1--WE neglect our visitor" said he
gravely. and at his words turned sharp
ly in my chair.

stared in upon us. Around the head,
crowned with a black skull-cap, fell a
thick growth of white hair that was
saint-like in length and beauty; the
beard was of the like venerable purity.
In a man of his apparent age the
cheeks were curiously rosy, while the
hand that held open the door was small
as a woman's and delicate as old ivory.

Graden continued, with a reproach at
my unhospitality in his voice.
Professor Rudolf Marnac-for it was
he who thus honored us-slid his dimin-
utive figure through the door and ad-
vanced, with a courteous inclination,
into the lamplight.
"My dear young SIR" said he, in the
soft musical English with which it was
his custom to address me. II should not
have intruded myself at this late hour
but that l am the bearer of painful news
which l felt it right to communicate to
you. Your friend, Hermann Won Stock
mar, died this evening of acute infam-
nation of the lungs"
Died" l cried in bewilderment.
"Why. passed him in the street at mid
day looking well and hearty"
Eyes, it is even so, Mr.. Harland. One
moment a steady flame Illuminating this

| the pen, trenchant, incisive, destructive,
is laid aside for ever"
1t was an impressive homily; but from
so open and vindictive a foe it seemed
singularly Inappropriate.
You seem surprised" he continued.
Il fear that encounters In tho cause of
science may have led the public to be-
lieve that poor Won Stockmar and l
cherished personal animosities. If that
is so, trust you will use your influence
to contradict it. My sorrow is already
| heavy enough-without that unwarrant-

The professor seemed deeply affected.
Removing his spectacles, he pulled from
his side pocket large silk pocket-hand-
| kerchief. As he did so, a tinkle caught
my ear. A square box Of some white
metal had fallen to the floor. 1t rolled
into the lamplight, where the lid few

his glasses; but already Graden had re
trieved the box and was presenting II

GRILL FOR STANDARD OIL
FEDERAL AGENTS STRIKE TRAIL
AND BIG SENSATION is
PROMISED.

Chicago, Dec. 20. - A Philadelphia
special to the Tribune says: For
nearly year agents of the United
States government have been slowly
and patiently but persistently gather
ing facts and figures on which it was
hoped to base successful attack
upon the gigantic monopoly known as
the Standard Oil company. Great as
this organization is, the United States
government is greater, in spite of the
boast of some of the Standard man
ayers, and federal agents and detec-
tives have struck trail which seems
at least to lead into the heart of the
famous system.
Following upon the footsteps of
government agents in Washington,
Philadelphia, New York and other
cities, l have learned sufficiently to
convince ne that during the present
winter and possibly not long after the
holidays, will be, presented to
congress a report which will be far
more sensational than that prepared
against the beef trust, and at the
same time another report will go to
the attorney general with sugges-
ton that prosecution be instituted.
The work of the special agents of
the government is not entirely con-
Guided, but nearly so. They have de-
veloped enough to startle the country,
and the paid spies of the Standard
Oil company already have learned
this and have begun. to cover up evil
dence in anticipation of criminal
prosecution by the federal govern
ment. u
The investigation into the affairs
of the Standard Oil company has been
conducted by Commissioner Garfield
of the bureau of corporations.

Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the
treasury. arrived in this city from
Washington yesterday, to remain for
a day or two, When questioned about
the monetary situation Mr.. Shaw de-
cllned to say anything on that subject
or the probability or possibility of any
action by the treasury looking to the
relief of the local situation.
In financ circles the opinion pre-.
walls that the secretary of the treas
ury will not DO anything in that line
and the opinion of the best banking
interests is that no such action is
necessary, as it is generally recog-
nized that the present stringency is
entirely local and merely incidental to
the preparation for the first of the
year requirements, circumstance of
which the banks are taking every pos
sible advantage for their own benefit.
