! OPPORTUNITY FOR CONGRESS -
President Taft and Secretary Knox are eN-
crting all their influence to secure favora-
! bic action at this session OF Congress on
the Lowden foreign service bill, a measure
which would undoubtedly commend ttselt
10 all business men and all who are inter
ested in the welfare Of the foreign service
OF the United States il they realized It's
importance. Representative Lowden mas
devised a method OF rallying the moral in
fiuonce of those who believe in good gov
ernment for the recognition of efficiency
in the diplomatic and consular service
without encountering the apparently IN
superable objection OF Congress TO any
step which would curtail the constitutional
privilege OF the President to appoint and
the Senate 10 confirm the members Of these
services Various measures have been IN
troduced by Mr.. Lowden IN the past, all
designed TO relieve diplomatic and consul
lar appointments and promotions from the
untoward effects OF political influence, all
Of which have received the cordial support
Of the administrative branch OF the gov
ernment, but all OF which have been re-
ieCted because Congress felt that they In
volved a violation OF at least the spirit OF
the Constitution This year Mr.. Lowden
has devised a measure which makes man
datory the keeping Of a record Of the ef-
lCiency Of all secretaries in the diplomatic
service and all consular officers; an annual
impartial examination OF all applicants
for places in the foreign service, and the
submission to the President and the publ
cation annually of the efficiency record
and the results of the examinations, to-
gether with statement Of the proportion
al representation OF the several states and
territories. The measure contains nothing
mandatory with regard TO the action Of
the President, but is designed first TO keep
the Chief Executive advised OF the relative
merits OF those in the service and Of the
qualifications OF applicants, and secondly.
10 guide public opinion, that il may, with
in reason. act as a check on appointments
10 and promotions within the service.
Business men generally recognize the i'm
portance Of efficient representation Of the
United States in foreign countries. Those
who are responsible for this service rec
ognize TO the full that the exertion Of po-
Itical influence is the greatest obstacle 10
efficiency. The President, IN his annual
message. declared himself strongly on the
subject and Secretary Knox has commu-
nicated his earnest Endorsement 20 Chair

end. And incidentally, 1t is suggested
that those who are expendins so much on
crgy in the promotion OF universal peace
could not better employ themselves than
IN promoting the movement for competent
diplomatic representation.

1t came to pass that Frank broke his
leg while fishing a trout stream that
ran among gigantic powders. The in
jury was so serious that at the first
sight Of it old Or, Stevens, the family
physician, was in two minds about an
amputation. To make matters worse.
Franks father had not yet returned
from trip abroad. and his mother
had been i'll and was still prisoner
within the four corners of a bed
Frank was carried to his room in
the turret chamber, and there he re-
NAMED some days, the prey of bodily
pain and increasing mental distress.
Early of an afternoon DR.. Stevens
came to Mrs. Wright's room. She
knew that he had just seen her son.
and her eyes spoke unutterable ques-
tons. They were steel gray eyes. sof-
tened with touch of violet.
Frank is doing very Well" said the
doctor and sat down beside the bed.
There was a brief silence. Mrs.
Wright turned her head upon the pill,
low and glanced at Cousin Rufus, who
had glided in at the heels of the doc
tor
rs Frank alone?" asked Mrs. Wright.
Rufus replied hastily:
HE wanted me to come straight
down here so that l could tell him
what the doctor says about you. He is
anxious on your account, of course.
He worries pretty near all the time
A warning glance from the doctor
checked him, and he stopped so abrupt
ly as to increase the effect of his in
discretion.
Il wish l might go to him." said
Mrs. Wright. 1T is very unfortunate"
IT'S the strangest thing how bad
luck follows that name in our family"

cine bottles that were on a table at the
far side of the bed. You know, doc

The physicians face was darkening
with a frown despite his best efforts
to control it. Mrs Wright perceived
his trouble and smiled sadly
Il would like to speak with the doc
tor alone" said she.
'Why, certainly; of course" re-
sponded the Burrells, and they depart
ed, with a conscious dignity superior
to offense.

He awoke with the disappointment
usual to persons who have had delight
full dreams that have turned out to be
dreams only. Going out on the water
as usual during the day, shark swal-
lowed the bait on one of his lines. He
killed the shark and was about to cut
when he remembered his dream.
Yielding to an impulse, he lowed the
shark ashore and cut him open. In his
stomach he found a London newspa-
per. Taking it into his cabin, he dried
1t and that night before going to bed
opened its sheets to read the news
from home. On the first page he saw
in large letters the words:

had received it at a port where it had
been sent by rail.
1t did not require a long time for
Emsley to see in this news that he
alone possessed the diamond of his
dream. When the next steamer arriv-
ed with it the price of wool would
take an enormous jump. Emsley
went to a wealthy wool dealer whom
he knew and told him the story of the
shark, Withholding the news found in
the paper, but asserting its impor-
lance.

he said, 1.-The price of wool will IN

better terms, but Emsley threatened
to take the matter to another, and an
