For three years now he replied, bit

preparations consistent with the needs
of the country; did everything / could
with dignity and a little more; tried
to get friends to pass bills, and gave
them statistics showing just what our
position would be in this event; but
there were always a few watch dogs
of the treasury who succeeded in de-
feating everything attempted"
The president looked at him reprov-
ingly, but said nothing. The others
gave him silent sympathy, knowing
that in case of disastrous war he
would be the one to stand in the lime
light and defend himself for not work
ing miracles unaided. The gratitude
of kings was no more open to sarcasm
than the gratitude of republics.
THE report says" continued the
secretary, gloomily. that war may be
anticipated in six months at the
furthest, and that our only safeguard
is to bring our navy up to a formid-
able force before that time. Well,
we can't do it, With all the facilities
at our command we can't build ships
in night, nor drill men to man them
in day. We shout about our re-
sources, and we have them; but it
takes time to utilize them"
His outspoken pessimism loosened
his hearers tongues; but the most
optimistic could find nothing encour-
aging to say. 1t was obvious that the
country in any event would be I'M
prepared. They were discussing
emergency plans, when the presidents
secretary appeared in the doorway.
They turned to him, wondering what
could claim the chief executives atten-
ton at that time of the night. The
secretary walked over to the president
and addressed him in low tone. They
caught scraps of the conversation.
Says he wants to see me tonight %
Yes, and l didn't Ike to refuse a
man of his prominence, or one who is
so closely your friend"
Won't he talk to your"
mot much! Just laughed, and said
he wanted to see you personally"
We'll, go tell him / would be glad
to see him ordinarily; but that am in
a conference of great Importance with
| friends. Ask him to say what hour he
prefers to see me tomorrow"
The secretary bowed and left the
room, and the conversation was re-
sumed. 1t continued only moment
before he again appeared. and the
president turned toward him.
DIR. Roberts seems a little an
noyed," the secretary apologized. land
insisted on my coming back to tell
you that he wanted to see you now"
The president and others in the
room laughed tolerantly, knowing the
inventors peculiarities.

dent asked.

Look Under Foot.

The lesson which life repeats and
constantly enforces is look under
foot" You are always nearer the d.

than you think. The lure of the dis

The great opportunity is where you
are. Do not despise your own place
