He opened the door and went out.
For q minute or more Miss Thorne sat

Mr.. Campbell and the Cable.

MT. N0HpOCtt ana IUG NdotGs
Just as 1t Is one mans business to
manufacture watches. and another
mans business to peddle shoe-strings,
so 1t was Mr., Campbell's business to
know things. He was q human card

posted to the minute and backed by
all the tremendous of a ma
ton. From the little Office In the Sc
cret Service Bureau, where he sat day
after day, radiating threads connected
with the huge outer world, and en-
abled him to keep a firm hand on the
diplomatic and departmental pulse Of
Washington. Perhaps he anne near

there than any other man living; and
no man realized more perfectly than
he Just how little Of all of it he did
know. sssse g ssA.s'asc-f~r
In person Mr.. Campbell was not I'M
like a retired grocer who had shaken
the butter and eggs from his soul and
settled back to enjoy a life of placid
idleness. He was a little beyond mid
die age, pleasant of face, white of
hair, and blessed with guileless blue
eyes. His genius had no sparkle to
it; It consisted solely of detail and
system and indefatigability. coupled
with a memory that was well nigh in
fallible. His brain was as serene and
orderly as a cash register; n almost
expected to hear 1t click.
He sat at his desk intently studying
a cable despatch which lay before him.
1t was In the Secret Service code.
/ Leaning over his shoulder was Mr..
Grimm-the Mr.. Grimm of the bureau.
Mr.. Grimm was an utterly different
type from his chief. He was younger,
perhaps thirty-one or two, physically
well proportional. a little above the
average height, with regular features
and listless, ~purposeless eyes q re-
! plica of a hundred other young men
who dawdle idly in the windows OF
their clubs and watch the world hurry
by. His manner was languid; his
dress showed fastidious care.

He lapsed into silence. Mr.. Grimm
opened his lips to ask a question.
Mr.. Campbell anticipated it unerr-
ingly:
1.-THE purpose Of such an alliance?
1t is not too much to construe 1t into
the first step toward a world-war-a
war of reprisal and conquest beside
which the other great wars of the
world would seem trivial. For the
fact has at last come home to the ma
tions of the world that ultimately the
English-speaking peoples will domi-
nate it-dominate It because they are
the practical peoples. They have given
to the world all it's great practical in
ventions-the railroads, the team
ship, electricity, the telegraph and
cable-all OF them; they are the great
civilizing forces, rounding the world
up TO new moral understanding, for
what England has done in Africa and
India we have done in a smaller way
in the Philippines and Cuba and Por-
to Rico; they are the great CONNER
cial peoples, slowly but surely winning
! the market-places of the earth; wher-
! ever the English OF the American flag
Is planted there the English tongue
is being spoken, and there the peoples
are being taught the sanity OF right
living and square dealing.
ut requires no great effort of che
imagination. Mr. Grimm, to foresee
that day when the traditional power
of Paris, and Berlin, and st. Peters
burg, and Madrid will be honey
! combed by the steady ~encroachment
| Of u methods. This alliance would
(, indicate that already that day has
been foreseen; that there is now q re-
sentiment which is about to find ex-
! preston in one great, desperate strug-
: gle for world supremacy. A few hun
dred years ago Italy-or Rome-was
stripped of her power; only recently
the United States dispelled the illu-
sion that Spain was anything but .
shell; and France! One can't help
but wonder II the power she boasts is
not principally on paper. But If their
forces are combined. Do you see?
1t would be an m power to
reckon with, with a hundred bases OF
supplies right at our doors"

TOUR OF TRAVEL
i ING LLIIFFE-SAVINC CAR

"The Travelling Life Saving Sta
