I directly went to our Ministry and

Ministry staff, but our consul himself

that my little innocentIy conducted

Our Ministry at Rio knew all about
this man. Lopez ruled a great tract
of land in II e heart Of Brazil and had
a railroad so miles long. Lopez
could be financed to buy engines and
cars. The Republic of Kunani could
be utilized as base of operations
against Brazil. should circumstances
demand it. If we could only induce
Lopez to join US we could build up

no person from our Ministry staff was
so far successful In striking an ac-

glee.
Lopez was retired coffee mer-
chant and at ont time he had as
much as $4,000, 900 marks. And he
came from San Paula, where there
are thousands of German settlers.
The Brazilian government knew him
and had always regarded him as a
harmless crank. The authorities had
never taken his claim to the. presi-
dency of the Republic of Kunani''
seriously. The official attitude to him
in Brazil was one of amused toler-
ance. Already he had built for the
government a railway, which must
one day be some considerable value.
He must be let alone; no harm could
come of him. And he was so out Of
the way that even If he desired to
make trouble. what could he TO?

ARTENfISLA

Artemisia was the daughter of Lyg-
danus and became Queen of Caria, in
Asia Minor, when her husband died.
She was one of the most distinguished
women of antiquity. She attended
xerxes on his expedition against
Greece in $50 B. c., and in the coun-
ell of war held before the battle OF
Salamis he strongly advised against
the folly OF risking a naval engage
ment, and the result of the battle JUS
titled her opinion. Her great admin
istrative sagacity did not secure her
from the weakness of love. She was
passionately fond of a man of Abydos
so enraged at his neglect of her that
she put out his eyes while he was
asleep. This, however, insteaa II al

I motored off to the rather Bohem-
ian quarter of the city where he had
appointed to meet me and give me
dinner. Happy was this Preside Lo-
PEI in my company and he made no
attempt to hide 1t. His manners
were courtly and his behavior that Of
thorough gentleman. I had made
no mistake in attributing to him some
very fine quaS-fies. He had the birth,
the education, and the instincts of a
Portuguese grandee. I was as safe
with him as in my own hotel.
The President of Knnani was my
host. and was his only guest, He
had strained the resources of the
house he patronized in order to pro-
vide me with dinner worthy of the
occasion. and hired a private room
for the meal, SO that we might talk
in peace and privacy. The room was
freshly decorated for my benefit.
