minable length of time necessary
to secure the attention and coop
Grafton of bankers In France and
England. 1t is all nonsense to say
that Russia has sinister motives
in the matter. 1t is a business
proposition-not an affair of
state. We need the money before
the winter opens. The railroad is
now within fifteen miles of Edel-
weiss. The bridges and tunnels
are well along toward completion.
Our funds are diminishing, simply
because we have delayed so long
in preparing for this loan There
has been too much pickering and
too much inane politics. still
maintain that we have made a
mistake in refusing to take up
the matter with st. Petersburg or
Berlin. Why should we prefer
England? Why France?"
For some unaccountable reason
he struck the table violently with
his fist and directed his glare up
on the astonished prince. The
Explosive demand caught the ruler
by surprise. He gasped and his
lips fell apart. Then it must
have occurred to him that the
question could be answered by no
one save the person to whom 1t
was so plainly addressed. He lift
ed his chin and piped up shrilly,
and with a fervor that startled
even the, intense Perse:
Because Uncle Jack said we
should, that's why"
We have no record of what i'm
mediately followed this abrupt
declaration; there are some things
that never leak out, no matter how
pryfng the chronicler may be.
When one stops to consider that
this was the first time a question
had been put directly to the prince
and one that he could under
stand, at that-we may be in
clined to overlook his reply, but
we cannot answer for certain
members of the cabinet. Uncon-
sciously, the boy in Knockers had
uttered a truth that no one else
had dared to voice. John Tullis
was the joint stepping-stone and
stumbling block in the delibera-
tons Of the cabinet.
1t goes without saying that the
innocent rejoinder opened the way
to an acrid discussion of John
Tullis. If that gentleman ears
burned in response to the sar-
castle comments of the duke of
Perse and Baron Pultz, they prob
ably tingled pleasantly as the re-
suit of the stout defense put up
by Halfont, Dangloss and others.
Moreover, his most devoted
friend, the prince. whose lips were
sullenly closed after his unlucky
maiden effort, was finding it ex-
ceedingly difficult to hold his
tongue and his tears at the same
time. The lads lips trembled but

MEN MADE OVER
Latest Ambition of Surgeons Is to
Rebuild Commonplace Nor
tails Into ApOllos.

BOSTON. Dec. 2O.-In the
course of the last few weeks some
hopeful theories have been father
ed by some of Boston's most pro.
gressive surgeons. If all the ideas
are adopted, the future holds
much hope for men who were
not born with classic contours.
The knife will make them over in
to Apollos and sculpture models.
For instance, DR.. e. H. Nichols
has an idea that the average man
could spare about six feet of the
large intestine, and digest his food
better without it. This would
help men with large waist meas
urc.
Or. Bradford, orthopedic sur
geon, declares that the average
city mans feet could be perfected
by going barefoot all summer.
DR.. Samuel A. Hopkins, dental
expert, says that bad teeth can be
corrected so that the jaw will be
expanded to the natural size.
These are only a few of the
things that surgery recognizes as
possible. The self-made man
may soon have to step aside for the
made-over nan.

O'Clock of the morning on which
the prince is to review the troops
from the fortress. The question
under discussion relates to the
loan of 100000 gavvos before
mentioned. At the head of the
long table, perched upon an aug
mentary pile of law books sur
mounted by a little red cushion,
sits the prince, almost lost in the
huge old walnut chair of his fore
fathers. Down the table sit the
ten ministers of the departments
of state, all of them loving the
handsome little fellow on the nee
essary pile of statutes, but all of
them more or less Indifferent to
his significant yawns and perplex-
ed frowns.
The prince was sturdy, curly
haired lad, with big brown eyes
and lamentably noticeable
scratch on his nose-acquired in
less stately but more profitable
pursuits. ct seems that he had
peeled his nose while sliding to

can game that he was teaching

and rebellious. No end of royal
nursing could keep 1t looking

one. Although it was considered

his brown eyes glowered; he sat
abashed and heard the no uncer-
tain arraignment of his dearest
friend. feeling all the while that
the manly thing for him to do
would be to go over and kick the
duke of Perse, miserably conscious
that such an act was impossible.
His little body trembled with
childish rage; he never took his
gaze from the face of the gaunt
traducer. How he hated the duke
of Perse!
The dukes imprisoned plea
was of no avail. His confreres
saw the wisdom of keeping Rus
sia's greedy hand out of the coun-
try's affairs-at least for the
present-and reiterated their deei-
sion to seek the loans in England
end France. The question, there
fore, would not be taken to parlia-
ment for reconsideration. The
duke sat down, pale in defeat: his
heart was more bitter than ever
against the shrewd American who
had induced all these men to see
through his eyes.
Il suppose there is no use in
kicking against the pricks," he
said sourly as he resumed his
seat. 81 shall send our represen-
