 q am here" he said.
 'I am able to give you some tmpor- tant diplomatic news" Allison advised him. Your country is about to have war with your ancient enemy to the east It will be declared within a month"
 Tt will be finished in week, prophesied the neat-waisted caller. hls active eyes lighting with pleasure.
 Possibly" admitted Allison. "l un- derstand that your country is not in the best of financial conditions to un- dertake war, particularly with that ancient enemy"
 The banking system of my country is patriotic" returned the caller. Its only important banks are controlled under one system I am the head of that system. I am patriot" and he tapped himself upon the breast with deep and sincere feeling.
 How much revenue does your po- sition yield you personally? ?"
 A shade of sadness crossed the brow of the neat-waisted caller.
 Tt does not yield you this much, and Allison pushed toward him lit tie slip of paper on which were ln- scribed some figures.
 The callers eyes widened as they read the sum. He smiled. He shrugged his shoulders. He pushed back the slip of paper.
 If your banking system found it impossible to be patriotic, your gov ernment would be compelled to raise money through other means. It would not withdraw from the war" | "Never!" and the neat-waister caller once more touched himself on the breast,
 Tt would be compelled to negotiate loan. If other governments, through some understanding among their l bankers, found it difficult to provide this loan. your government would flnd it necessary to release it's ownership or at least it's control of its most valu able commercial possession
 The caller, who had followed Al lisons progressive statement with in terest, gave quick little nod of his head

He studied her in silence for mo ment, and then he put his hands on her cheeks, and drew her gently towards him. Still smiling into his eyes, she held up her lips. and he kissed her.
 I'd like to say something jolly be- fore l go," he said as he rose; but l can't seem to think of it."
 Gail laughed, but there was a trace of moisture in her eyes as she took his arm.
 "Pd like to help you out, Dicky, but l can't think of it either," she re- turned.
 She was crying a little when sbe went up the stairs, and her mood was not even interrupted by the fact that Aunt Helen's door was ajar, and that Aunt Helen stood just beyond the crack
 Why, child, that Egyptian black is running was Aunt Helen's first ob- servation.
 Gail dabbed hastily at the two tiny rivulets which had hesitated at the curve of her pink cheeks, and then she put her head on Aunt Helen's shoul der, and wept softly.
 Poor Dicky," she explained, and then turning, disappeared into heI own room.

Rabies Not Limited to Any Season

Rabies Not Limited to Any Season.
 According to Dr. O. Mcdaniel, Dog Days" do not influence the occurrence of rabies. The important point, how ever, is that anyone bitten by a dog suspected of being rabid. regardless of the season of the year. should re- ceive proper attention.
 The suspected dog should be kept under observation for at least two weeks. If it remains well, rabies is excluded. If 1t becomes sick or dies. the head should be examined by the Pasteur Department of the State Board of Health, and the individuals bitten should report at the depart. ment for treatment.
 Rabies is usually fatal to dogs in from three to five days after the first symptoms are observed. Individuals bitten by rabid dogs, unless under treatment, become sick in from i've to nine weeks. The popular belief that individuals may develop symp- toms several months or years later is as false as the belief that Dog Days cause mad dogs.

LAIIlLA. "sCOURGE OF GOD"
Mighty Leader of the Huns as He Has Been Pictured by Eminent
 French Historian.

The great French historian, Niche
 the mighty Hun, who in the fifth cen
 tury met a defeat which curbed his
 progress and threw him and his horde
 back to eastern Europe. His true ori- ental name, name which is retained unchanged in the German tongue, was Etzel, which signified vast and mighty thing, a mountain, a river, par ticularly that imme river, the Vol ga. Priscus, an :. nor of the fifth century, who saw Attila face to face, describes him, says Micneelt, as "stern and grave, short, thick set and strongly built. fat-nosed, his broad face pierced with two fiery holes" Continuing he says: After all, what would this Tartar have gained by con- quering the Roman empire? He would have felt himself stif1ed in those walled cities and palaces of marble. Far better he loved his wooden viii lage, all painted and tapestried, with its thousand kiosks of many eolors and all around it the green meadows of the Danube. Though an enemy to Ger. many, he made use of It. His ally was the enemy of the Germans, Genseric, the Wend, who was settled in Africa. He called Attila into Gaul against the Goths of Toulouse. Attilas passage was marked by the ruin of Metz and of great number of towns. The mul. titude of legends relating to this per. iod may afford some idea of the i'm. pression which that terrible event left on the memory of nations"

 When Ivan Strolesky had gone, All son went to his globe and drew bright red line across the land of tn, frozen seas.
 There came famous diplomat, heavy blond man with a red face and big spectacles and a high, wide round forehead.
 Il do not know what you want, said the visitor, regarding Allison with stolid stare. q have come to see. '
 T merely wish to chat international politics." returned Allison. There is an old-time feud between you and your neighbors to the west"
 That is history" replied the visitor peace"
 Never peace," denied Allison. There will never be friendship be- tween phlegmatism and mercurialism. You might rest for centuries with your neighbors to the west, but rest is not peace."
 Excuse me, but what do you mean?" and the visitor stared stolidly.
 'In your affairs of mutual relation ship with the land to the west, there are not less than a dozen causes upon which war could be started without difficulty" went on Allison. Tn fact, you require perpetual diplomacy to prevent war with that country"
 The visitor locked his thick fingers quietly together and kept on stolidly staring.
 You are about to have a war;" Ali son advised him.
 "No it is not true" and the visitor went so far, in his emphasis, as to un- lock his fingers and rest one hand on the back of the other.
 q think l am very fair prophet" said Allison easily. T have made money by my prophecy. l have more money at my command at the present time than any man in the world, than any government; wealth beyond han ding in mere currency. It can only be conveyed by means of checks. Let me show how easy 1t is to write them" and, drawing a blank book to him, he wrote a check, and signed his name, and filled out the stub, and tore it out, and handed it to the visitor for inspec- tion. The visitor was properly pleased with Allison's ease in penmanship.
 T see," was the comment. and the check was handed back. He drew his straight-crowned derby towards him.
 II have made mistake" said Ali son. T have left off cipher" aud correcting this omission with a new check, he tore up the first one

 That had required considerable out lay, but when Allison was alone, he went over to his globe and made an- other long, red mark.

 The matter then seems to resolve itself into question of price" he commented.
 No; protection" responded Allison. If l were buying these railroads out right, l should expect my property in- terests to be guarded, even if 1 had to appeal to international equity; but am not"
 No" admitted the grand duke. They cannot be purchased"
 The proposition resolves itself then into matter of virtual commercial seizure" Allison pointed out. The grand duke, still with his hand in his beard, chuckled, as he regarded Allison amusedly.
 "I shall not mind if you call it pi- racy," he observed. We. in Russia. must collect our revenues as we can, and we are as frank as Americans about it. Returning to your matter Of | protection, shall admit that the only agreement upon which we can secure what you want, would not hold in international equity; and, in conse- quence, the only protection l can give you is my personal word that you will not be molested ill anything which you wish to do, providing it is pleasant to myself and those represent"
 Then we'll make it an annual pay ment," decided Allison, putting away some figures he had prepared wen make it a sliding scale, increasing each year with the earnings"
 The grand duke considered that proposition gravely, and offered an amendment.
 After the first year." he said. We shall begin with large bonus, how ever"
 Allison again put out of his mind certain figures he had prepared to sug- gest. Apparently the grand duke need ed a large supply of immediate cash and the annual payments thereafter would need to be decreased accord ingly. with still another percentage de ducted for profit on the dukes neces sites.
 Let us first discuss the bonus," pro posed Allison, and quite amicably they went into the arrangement, whereby Ivan Strolesky filched the only vaIu able railroad lines in his country from the control of it's present graft-ridder | possessors, and handed it over to the International Transportation company
 By the way" said Allison. How soon can we obtain possession?"
 Ivan Strolesky put his hand in hi. beard again, and reflected.
 There is only one man who stand in the way" he calculated. He vii be removed immediately upon my re turn"
 There was something so uncann about this that even the practice Allison was shocked for an instan and then he laughed
