Certain independent tobacco inter-
ests In Germany have for some time
been talking of attempts Of the
American Tobacco trust to obtain
monopoly Of the tobaccos business In
that country. The representative of a
foreign tobacco company asked the
reason for Slch rumors, replied as fol-
lows:
The vast majority of people In
Germany are Of the opinion that the
American Tobacco company and the
British American Tobacco company
are the same. They know that be-
fore the breaking up of the old Amer
lean Tobacco trust 1t owned a two
thirds interest In the British Ameri-
can company and 1t is an extremely
difficult matter to convince them that
such a condition does not really exist
today. The British American Tobacco
company has large interests in Ger

pany has absolutely none.

In his poor way Ayrih had given

his tariff files. He made an import

bamboo plating, native tinsel weav-
ings, when applied to rugs, draperies
and curtains, should have been listed
as fabrics" This meant an increase
in the import duty of over forty per
cent ad valorem.
Walter duly reported his discovery
and opinions to the authorities at
Washington. Just two months later
he came into the house with flut-
tering strip of paper in his hand.

widow, with Indifferent curiosity.
"As penalty. He was starving

put him at a year of hard labor. The
priest of his sect fined him twenty

piled Walter.
The widow left them few days
later to meet her afianced husband
at Naples. The native, Ayrith, whom
Walter had taken under his protect
ing wing, became domesticated as
grateful, loyal servant. He was with
out kith or kin, but was man of un-
usual education for his class. His
devotion to the CONSUL and his wife
became dog-like in its intensity.
Walter was good deal surprised
to find how useful Ayrih became to
him as the weeks passed on. Most of
the consular functions consisted in
passing upon export duties and the
standing of business houses in the
district. 1t was remarkable how well
Ayrih was posted on these details.
One day he came to Walter, evidently
full of some subject that interested
him greatly, for half suppressed ex-
