are not held first in our estimation. In
spite of all convictions under the Sher.
man law and the many disclosures of
business Hobbies, Successful bust
ness man" comes near to being our
national ideal.
We are beginning even to utilize
business in fiction in way that pre-
vious generations have not done. Al
ways there have been business men"
in literature. Shakespeare wrote OF
Antonio and Shylock, but it was not
the technique of their business that he
chose to portray. To glorify merchan-
dising and to put in a novel the science
of craftsmanship is thing that is prob
ably peculiar to this age. Neither sol
der, sailor, poet nor politician is
looked upon with such regard as the
American business man.
And this should have it's good effect.
The more esteemed calling the bet
ter its standards. A nation that looks
up to its industrial leader puts pre-
MUM upon making business high
calling. Already at least two colleges,
Harvard and Dartmouth, have bust
ness schools, not so much to teach the
student business practice as to give
him a broad business vision and a
high business standard, such an atti-
tude toward his calling as is common
among the professions that require
special training.
In a way we are becoming the Chi
nese of the occidental world, says the
Worlds Work. We are doing now
what they have done for centuries
clarifying the merchant and neglect
ing the soldier who with us for cen.
turtles past in fact and in fiction has
been the dominant man of our national
ideals

the fact is probably unknown to both
the oil and the gas companies. Here

pipe and switch off the flow. The oil,

streams through the gas main. The
gas, choked off by the oil, flows into
the oil pipe, which is temporarily
emptied. The result?"
THE oil pours through all the
branches of the gas main. into every

light, and sets fire to the city," cried
Precisely But since only the Of

the gas, rushing. through the oil pipe
into the refineries, comes into con-
tact with the lights and explodes with
terrific violence; moreover, it passes
straight through the pipeline beneath

Nikolai unfastened his coat and, from
his waist, took length of rubber
hose, tough but flexible; it was a
marvel to me how he had worn it.
Kaulbars sprang to his feet.
what is that?" he cried, bending
into the darkness
'sThe electric conductor Nikolai
answered briskly. Now, general, will
you throw down the dry cells to me?'
Rather distastefully, Kaulbars
picked up the cells and dropped them
upon Nikolai's shoulders. They
tumbled dow. into the pit.
IN ten minutes, general" said he,
you will see the conspirators' strong
hold leap into the air. 1t may be.that
some nearby building will fall

ed Kaulbars sayagely, stamping his
feet to warm them against the frosty
air.
The soldiers, leaning upon their i'm
plemerts, looked to Nikolai for in

to KauIbars. Let your men step out

The general called them and they
clambered up the yielding sides, leay-
ing Nikolai and myself alone.
He drew the rubber hose close, tied
one end, and held the other against
the pipe. Very carefully / chinked
my pick against it. A chip flew, an
other; l struck more strongly and
the pipe split. Instantly stencil of
escaping gas filed the air. With all
his force Nikolai thrust the end Of
the hose into the orifce.

and the bullet went high above our
heads. The governor general stood
irresolute and trembling; his soldiers,
their leader having issued no COM
mand, Wavered also.
Look shouted Nikolai.
A stream of light sprang into the
sky; another, and another. From
every refinery chimney came leap
ing tongue of rudy fame; the palace
glowed again; the quarters of the
officers hung out broad banners of
fire. 1t rose into the air, this univer-
sal light, in twisting spirals that
locked and interlaced, like streamers
of the Northern Lights. And all
along the harbor front the fires sprang
into life, passing from dock to dock.
Only upon the waters the shadows
brooded. Then, as we watched. we
heard muffied, distant roar, and a
volcano of fame seemed to spring
from the bed of the sea; columns of
fire shot upward. and dense pail
of smoke, following them, hid every
thing from view, IL a blackness
deeper than that of night, though rent
here and there by, the red streamers
that quivered at its heart.
The Caspian had been strewn,
smaller than shingles, on the breast
of the waters. And with it. two parts
of the city of Batoum had disap-
peared.

Kaulbars had dropped his weapon and
stood nodding and smiling at the
flames. Fear seemed to have unhinged
his mind, and he regarded the de-
struction of his palace as the end Of
