He does not pursue the old l"drag-net- " method of suing indiscriminately anybody and everybody, without justification for so doing, as has frequently been the case. On the contrary, he examines the County Court records and whenever he finds a prima facia case, he notifies the person and gives him an opportunity to explain. If it is shown that the debt or obligation has been paid and the lien not released by oversight, or that for any other good reason no taxes should be paid thereon, no suit is brought. If, on the other hand, he can show the taxpayer that no taxes have been paid on the item in question, though properly the subject of taxation, an opportunity is given to make an equitable settlement without the heavy costs incident to a suit. In this way, Mr. Rehorn collected in three days over seven hundred dollars due the County and State. He says he has a largo number of other cases unadjusted and we are informed he will be here several days each week until they are all disposed of. This week he will be here Thursday and Friday. While in the city, in order to be near the county records, he occupies the county in their court room. cities are enthusiastic praise of brick streets, saying that Improved Shop. as soon as they were put down in Messrs.

No, it should be the man who needs it most who ought to feel the deepest concern about it. This is the way Hoffman looks at it. And a talk with Hoffman on the subject will open fvour eves. Maybe you've always thought (.that the subject was dull, made up of be- wildering statistics, argued only from the selfish standpoints of the seller of Insur- spance. Hoffman will show you differently. He'll expound Life Insurance to you in such a way that you'll become charmed by its fascination. Did you ever think that a serious subject can be made really fascinating? Likely not. And the reason is very apparent. Most Life Tnsurmiee hasn't a groundwork of truth and fact, but is made up of fancy and fiction. As it is expounded there is so little pith and so much froth, so much confusion and so little plain, straightforward, substantial satisfaction, that Hoffman's talk about it is a revelation! Then ajjain, you must remember that he is talking about something (which he has to sell, of course) which you want. You want it more than any insurance there is to be had. Why? H..G.

Mr. Campbell and the Cable. Just as it is one man's business to U . i' Is manufacture watches, and another man's business to peddle so it was Mr. Campbell's business to know things. He was a human card Index, a governmental ready reference posted to the minute and backed by all the tremendous resources of a nation. From the little office In the Secret Service Bureau, where he sat day after day, radiating threads connected with the huge outer world, and enabled him to keep a firm hand on the diplomatic and departmental pulse of Washington. Perhaps he came nearer knowing everything that happened there than any other man living, and no man realized more perfectly than he Just how little of all of it he did shoe-string- s, "If Any Other Man Than Gault Had Sent That I Should Have Said He Was Crazy." of tbe Latin countries of Europe, ex cept France, but taken in combination, inconsequential, and that true, too, know. y 1 well-oile- d ht light-spangle- d y blue-gra- In person Mr. Campbell was not unlike a retired grocer who had shaken the butter and eggs from his soul and settled back to enjoy a life of placid Idleness. He was a little beyond middle age, pleasant of face, white of hair, and blessed with guileless blue eyes. His genius had no sparkle to It; It consisted solely of detail and "yvem and Indefatlgablllty. coupled with a motuory thp.t vas v.'cll nigh in fallible. Ills brain was as serene and orderly as a cash register, one almost expected to hear It click. He sat at his desk Intently studying a cable despatch which lay before him It was in the Secret Service code. Leaning over his shoulder was Mr, Grimm the Mr. Grimm of the bureau. Mr Grimm was an utterly different ype from his chief. He was younger, perhaps thirty-onor two, physically well proportioned, a little above the average height, with regular features and listless, purposeless eyes a replica of a hundred other young men who dawdle Idly In the windows of fhelr clubs and watch the world hurry by His manner was languid; his dress showed fastidious care Sentence by sentence the bewildering Intricacies of the code gave way before the placid understanding of Chief Campbell, and word by word, from the chaos of It, a translation took Intelligible form upon a sheet of paper under his right hand. Mr. Grimm, loosing on, exhibited only a most perfunctory Interest In the extraordinary message he was reading; the listless eyes narrowed a little, that iwas all. It was a special despatch from Lisbon dated that morning, and signed simply "Gault" Completely translated It ran thus: "Secret offensive and defensive alliance of the Latin against the nations of the world 1b planned. Italy, France, Spain and two South American repabllcs will soon sign compact In Washington. "Given a yard of canvas, 'Mr. Proposition Just made to Portugal, Grimm," he went on finally, "a Spanand may be accepted.

Backed by the moral support of Germany, and perhaps Japan ! Don't you see? Don't you see?" He lapsed into silence. Mr. Grimm opened his lips to ask a question Mr. Campbell anticipated It unerringly: "The purpose of such an alliance? It Is not too much to construe It Into a the first step toward a world-wa- r war of reprisal and conquest beside which the other great wars of the world would seem trival. For the fact has at last come home to the of the world that ultimately the peoples will dominate It dominate It because they are the practical peoples. They have given to the world all its great practical In ventlons the railroads, the steamship, elertrlrity. the telegraph and ''able all of them; they are the great civilizing forces, rounding the world up to new moral understanding, for what England has done in Africa and India we have done In a smaller way In the PhlJIpplnes and Cuba and Porto Rico; they are the great commercial peoples, slowly but surely winning the market-placeof the earth; wherever the English or the American flag Is planted there the English tongue Is being spoken, and there the peoples are being taught the sanity of right living and square dealing. "It requires no great effort of tbe imagination, Mr. Grimm, to foresee that day when the traditional power of Paris, and Berlin, and St. Petersburg, and Madrid will be honeycombed by the steady encroachment of our methods. This alliance would Indicate that already that day has been foreseen; that there Is now a resentment which Is about to find expression In one great, desperate struggle for world supremacy. A few hundred years ago Italy or Rome was stripped of her power; only recently the United States dispelled the illusion that Spain was anything but a shell; and France ! One can't help hot wonder if the power she boasts is not principally on paper. But if their forces are combined? Do you see? It would be an enormous power to reckon with, with a hundred bases of supplies right at our doors." He rose suddenly and walked over to the window, where he stood for a moment, staring out with unseeing s s living sound, of music, pointed here and there by the staccato cry of a flute. A zephyr, perfumed with the clean, fresh odor of lilacs, stirred the draperies of the archway which led into the conservatory and rustled the bending branches of palms and ferns. For a scant Instant Mr. Grimm's eye3 rested on a young woman who sat a dozen feet away, talking, in playful animation, with an undersecretary of the British embassy a young woman severely gowned in some glittering stuff which fell away sheerly from her splendid bare shoulders. She glanced up, as if In acknowledgment of his look, and her eyes met his. Frank, eyes they were, stirred to their depths now by amusement. She smiled at Senorita Rodriguez, in token of recognition. "Aren't they wonderful?" asked Senorita Rodriguez with the quick, bubbling enthusiasm of her race. "What?" asked Mr. Grimm. "Her eyes," was the reply. "Every person has one dominant feature with Miss Thorne It Is her eyes." "Miss Thorne?" Mr. Grimm repeated. "Haven't you met her?" the senorita went on. "Miss Isabel Thorne? She only arrived a few days ago the night of the state ball. She's my guest at the legation. When an opportunity romes I shall present you to her." She ran on, about other things, with only an occasional remark from Mr. Grimm, who was thoughtfully nursing his knee. Somewhere through the chatter and effervescent gaiety, mingling with the sound of the pulsing music, he had a singular Impression of a rhythmical beat, an Indistinct tattoo, noticeable, perhaps, only because of Its monotony. After a moment he shot a quick glance at Miss Thorne and understood; It was the tapping of an exquisitely wrought ivory fan against one of her tapering, gloved fingers. She was talking and smiling blue-gra"Dot-dash-do- t! Dot! Dot-dash- ! t!" "N e a f." Mr. Grimm was still spelling it out. Then came a perfect Jumble. Mr. Grimm followed It with difficulty, a difficulty utterly belled by the quizzical lines about his mouth. As ho caught It. it was like this: "J 5 n s e f v a t 5 f," followed by an arbitrary signal which Is not In the Morse code: Mr Grimm carefully stored that jumble away In some recess of his brain, along with the unknown signal. "D 5 5 f," he read, and then. on. to the end:: "B f I n g 5 v e f w h e n g g 5 e s." That was all, apparently. The soft clatter of the fan aga'nst the arm of the chair ran on meanlnglessly after that. "May I bring you an Ice?" Mr. Grimm asked at last. "If you will, please," responded the senorita, "and when you come back '"11 reward you by presenting you Thorne. You'll find her charru-n- g: and Mr. Cadwallader has monopolized her long enough." Mr. Grimm bowed and left her. He to-Mi- I said the fan. around In his seat and regaled his listless eyes with a long look Into the senorlta's pretty face. Behind the careless ease of repose he was mechanically isolating the faint clatter of the fan. "Dot-dash-do- t! t!

"Why, Miss Thome!" he exclaimed. "I'm delighted to see you here. I understood you would not be present, Their hands met in a friendly clasp as she rose and mnvod y, a nod of excuse to Mr. Cadwallader. A thin slip of paper, thrice folded, passed from Mr. Rankin to her. She tugged at her glove, and thrust the little paper, still folded, lnsido the palm. "Is it yes, or no?" Miss Thorne asked in a low tone. "Frankly, I can't say," was the h re-Pl- "Did any one ever accuse you of staring, Mr. Grimm?" demanded the senorita, banterlngly. For an instant Mr. Grimm continued to sure, and then his listless eyes swept the ballroom, passing Involuntarily at the scarlet splendor of the minister from Turkey. "I beg your pardon," he apologized, contritely. There was a pause. "The minister from Turkey looks like a barn on fire, doesn't he?" Senorita Rodriguez laughed, and Mr. Grimm glanced Idly toward Miss Thorne. She was still tal'tlng, her face alive willi interest; ana the fan was still tapping rhythmically, steadily, now on the arm of her chair. "Dot-dash-do- t! t! and" Dotdashdot!"
