sHREWD IDEA or, DIPLOMAT
Where Russian officer of Embassy
Proved More Than a Match
for Abdul Hamld.

Diplomatists. abroad tell how, dis
tinguished member of the Russian
corps diplomatique cleverly outwtted
Abdul Hamid the, late Sultan Of Tur-
key, The Russian displayed curious
ingenuity in introducing the business
of his country in the guise of personal
pleasure.
1t appears that the Sultan had abso-
lutely refused to grant an audience to
any member of the diplomatic body at
Constantinople and that during the
period in question Abdul Hamid spent
the greater part of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement whereof he
was passlonately fond.
The Russian heard that his imperial
majesty stood in need Of fresh birds
to supply the place Of those killed In
fight, whereupon the willy Muscovite
procured a fine-looklng white fowl Of
the barnyard species, caused It to be
trimmed and hspurred to resemble a
gamecock, and sent it in richly deco
, rated cageto the Sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the
Sultan, at first delighted with the gift,
soon sent for the diplomatist to ex-
plain, if he could, why his bird had
shown no inclination to fight The
Russian went, examined the bird in
, the presence of Abdul Hamid, and
with great establishment and regret
acknowledged that it was quite unable
to cope with the royal gamecoc4s,
which were undoubtedly Of q superior
breed
A conference followed on the subject
OF gamecocks in general; and when
this was finished the Muscoyte sue
ceeded in drawing the Sultan in a
mood for conversation Of a different
character and in time adroitly intro
duced the political matter he had so
long awaited an opportunity to discuss.
After long interview he returned to
his embassy triumphant over his col.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SOUTH POLE
So Long Looked For-
ward To.

AT least three branches OF science,
1t Is hoped, will derive important beue-
fits from the conquest of the south pole
--meteorology, geography, and seismo-
graphy More Immediately important
than any other result is to be,
it is probable, the influence Of
of the discovery on meteorology.
In no long time, az q conse-
quence Of the weather maps based up
on tire fuller knowledge of atmosrher-
ic currents in the Antarctic, doubtless
brought by Scott and Amundsen, the
prediction Of the weather will be made
a much more exact science. One Of
the results hoped for Is the forecast
ing of the conditions Of the mon
goons in India and averting thereby
a vast amount of damage to property
and loss of life.
To work out the many observations
pertaining not only to meteorology
but to the other sciences and to report
on the collections in detail must, as a
writer in the London Times points out,
be the work oil years. 1t Is already
possible, however, to conjecture from
the mass of expert information pub
lished mere and abroad regarding
Amundsen as Well as Scott what are
the outlines Of a great section of the
globe of which only the fringe has
heretofore been touched by the ex'

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

EnSLSSSn VI tu6 OtS"'s
Thelismer Thornton, locally known
as "Duke Of Canibas," for atty years
boss Of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson. Harlan, to tho lag
islature as his successor. The reform
srs In his district, who are called
"RamrodderA" endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led by Ivus Niles, Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan Ia unwilling to be
q candidate, but his grandfather In
sists. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much Interested In each
other, and Thornton and Clare's IA
Their Try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers arc In control OF the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
peds them by starting a forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the IRE, learns Of his nomination
and tails his grandfather that he win
decline It because 1t was dishonesty
procured.
However, the duke gets him to run
for the Office, settles with farmers who
lost BY the forest fire and practically
assumes management Of the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Clare,
who, gowned and gloved, looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor In order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
leine Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
ing upon writing his own platform
and upon q rigid enforcement OF the
prohibitory law. They refuse to NOM
mate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth, who
learns that Spinney has been bribed
to retire by Thornton, Presson and
others. Weymouth compels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares In
his victory. Weymouth declares he
will enforce the prohibitory law, but
he rebuffs the "Ranarodders.' He makes
Harlan his chief Of staff for the cam
paign. Clare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated.
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him, and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals. %

for his grandfather that prompted her.
He did not understand very well what
he was to do to obey her suggestions.
He did not understand himself exactly
at that moment. But along with his
loyalty to General Weymouth a new
desire sprang into life within him. He
wanted to show Luke Pressons daugh-
ter that Harlan Thornton could play
the game Of practical politics as well
as Herbert Linton, and in the end
would be more deserving Of her re-
spect.

S08f&O that PROMISE, salu harihn.
Its all fine and grand In story
books, Mr.. Thornton. for the hero to
sacrifice everything for his ideals, but
In these very practical days he's only
classed as q fool and kicked to one
side"
"You defend Linton, then? Is that
the kind of a man you hold up as a
success, Miss Presson? His grudge
showed In his tone.
"You will please understand, sir, that
we are not discussing theories just
now. This isn't question Of what the
world ought to be. It's the plain fact
about what a man must be II he's to
get results. Yeh and l both have
heard your grandfather say many
times that he'd like to play politics
with angels-if only he could find the
angels. want you to understand that
my father has had nothing to do with
my talking to you like this"
He turned to her accusingly.
But / know perfectly WELL" he said
Bitterly, that it isn't any personal in
ttTeSl yOu tdhc III Lue tudt uuheo you
say 1t. You don't think enough Of me
for that" 1t was resentment so naive
ly boyish that her establishment check
ed her remonstrance. He rushed on.
"You hold up Linton for me to follow.
That's the kind Of man you admire.
He's an orator, and he's smart, and he
wins. I'm only an accident. You don't
care anything about me, personally.
But you're talking to me because my
grandfather asked you to. That's It."
He guessed shrewedly.
That outburst betrayed him. This
young man from the north country
was very human after all, she de-
cided.
81 have said before, this is cam
paign Of honesty. Your grandfathsr
did ask me to talk to you. didn't
have the heart to refuse him, for I'm
very fond of him"
1t was an acknowledgment that
stung his pride. But more than oil,
It stirred that vague rancor he had
felt the flrst time he had seen Linton
appropriate her.
He az not choose gallant words for

IT most certainly do" She said it
heartily.
No other word passed between them
until they arrived in front Of the hotel.
He reached up, after he had alighted,
and grasped her hand. She had i'm
pulsively put out her own to meet his.
"Pu try to be- he began, and then
hesitated.
"Be human" she said, smiling down
on him. "You won't find yourself Of
much use in the world unless you cul-
tivate the faculty Of personal contact
and you mustn't try to leap into poll
tics in this state right from the pedes-
tai of demigod. l hope I've softened
you SO that you will listen to your
good grandfather when he has advice
for you"
She did not allow herself to be too
serious. There was the delicious drawl
in her tone that had attracted him at
first.
He went to his room and sat down to
digest that political philosophy. Ii
some one beside Madeline Presson had
said it, it would have seemed to him
like the voice of the temptress. But
she had already won his confidence
in her sincerity. He wished that he
could feel that her interest in him
had more of personal quality than
she had admitted. He did not like to
remember that It was simply affection

scared a really loyal and conscientious
state committee. But the before and
after gloom of Chairman Presson and
his intimates was not caused by any
worriment over the size Of the plural
ity. They were languid spectators.
General Weymouth retired to the
brick house in Burnside and gave ear
to those who promptly made his home
the Mecca Of the state. The day was
full of cares, duties, annoyances and
the nagging pleadings Of persistent pc
titioners. Harlan Thornton, now rep
resentative elect from the Fort Cant
has district, became still more indis-
pensable In General Waymouth's daily
life. Duties at desk had worn upon
him. This everlasting mingling with
men was more to his taste. He had
natural adaptability. He was a good
judge Of human nature. He had sefene
good nature. Physique and manner
made him master Of many situations
at the old brick house that otherwise
would have sadly tried the generals
strength and temper. Therefore his
chief placed greater dependence upon
his lieutenant with every day that
passed and shifted many burdens to
