Undismayed, the visitor continued,
"I see a little band, of patriots meeting
In the state of Panamf, In the fast-
nesses of the mountains... I hear an
impassioned orator beseeching them to
rise and strike off the shackles that
bind the state of Panama to Colombia.

"O, well." said the president, enter-

can wee far enough Into the future to
tell you. confidentially, that the United
Statea will stand by and that there

The visitor smiled a glad smile.
"But," continued the president, "It
muit be distinctly understood that the
United States can In no way encour-
age Much revolution as has been re-
vealed to you by your powers of peer-
ing Into the future. We are aKainst
Secession.
"In thoso Iron times, from '61 to'65,
we fóuRht lo uphold the principle that
no state can seoede.
"Still, If Panama shall secede, if
that event does happen, It will be be-
yond our power to prevent It, of
course, and we shall be justified in
taking such measures as the exig-
ences of the occasion demand. Do
you understand?"
"The visitor howled. "I under-

eyeH still turned toward the treasury
building, he left the room muttering
to himself strange words and phrases,

sound of
"Forty millions, and maybe more-

forty millions, and maybe more."

members of congreas as had arrived
for the extraordinary session were
standing in knots on the streets and
wondering how long they could live at
the hote's and have anything left out
of their salaries, when the president
sent for Secretary Moody. |
"Moody." he said, "have we a war-
ship handy by the Isthmus of Pana-
ma?"
"One or tw-o," Secretary Moody re-
plied.
"Have them drop over there." the
president directed, casually, "there
might be a revolution or something of
the kind."
"But, Mr. President," Mr. MOody j
began.
"Oh., that's all right." said the presi-
dent, reassuringly. "We can never pre-
dict what will happen in those excit-
able Latin countries. Now, suppose
the state of Panama seceded from Co-
lombia In order to let us dig the ca
nal? Imagine that for an instant, and
then you will see how necessary It is to
have warships and marines there to
guard American interests. We can
not allow Americans to be imposed on.
and our most sacred duty la to protect
the old flag, whereever It may float."
That day the United States ship
Nashville started down.
CHAPTER VI.
"It Is always best to be on the safe
side," said the president to Secretary
Moody uext morning. "Suppose you
start a couple of warships down to-
ward the Isthmus. There's no telling
what those volatile people will do.
They might secede at any moment."
Two more warships were sent.
Then came election night. Every-
thing was peaceful except the returns
from Ohio, which Indicated a record-
breaking majority for Hanna.
At 10 o'clock Colonel Montgomery
rushed to the president with a dis-
patch from the United States consul
at Panama.
The president read hastily: "Uprls-
Ing at Panama tonight. Independence
proclaimed. Colombian army and
navy made prisoners. Same thing at
Colon."
"Ha," said the president, "It Is as I
feared, there has been a revolution in
Panama."
CHAPTER VII.
Oreat excitement prevailed. Hastily
summoning the cabinet, the president
announced his position.
"We" muBt protect American inter-
ests." he said.
"Sure," said the assembled cabinet
members. __

two Chinamen had been killed.
¿Increase the naval force," said ths
president. ' "Blood has been shed, Mr.
Mopdy. > How many ships are now in
readiness?"
"Nine," said Secretary Moody.
"Good," shouted the president. "Get
some more in line. This must be an
object lesson to the world that there
can be no European in I erfence In the
affairs of this country. Put a rear ad-
miral in charge. I learn there are some
German ships at St. Thomas. Let tfif
kaiser know, once for all, that that
game of. last spring, when Germany
sank a Maytien gunboat. Is not to be
repeated. If there are any gunboats
to be sunk, the United States will
sink them. Ha!"
"Flue!" said the assembled cabi-
net.
"Great!" said Loeb.
CHAPTER VIII.
"It is amazing how these things
come out," said the president next,
morning. "Why. this revolution, after
Colombia had rejected the Hay-Herran
canal treaty, seems almost like a pro-
vidential Intervention. We can ne-
gotiate a new treaty with Panama, of
course, and go ahead with the-canal.
"There is much satisfaction In the
broad grasp of international affairs
thai enabled this country to be so well
prepared. It has often happened. Now,
when we sent your warships to Turk-
ey a weeks ago''——
"Sh-hk," whispered Loeb.
"But," continued lite president,
"now that things have fallen out so
propitiously, with this revolution and
the declaration of Independence by
the people of Panama, It bccomos
necessary for us to recognise this
young and struggling nation and to ex-
tend such aid and comfort as we can.
We must not forget, that we were
young and struggling once. 1 shall
Issue instructions ordering the Imme-
diate recognition of the republic of
Panina. And, by the way, Mr, Hay, I
wish you would prepare a statement
showing the grounds we take In the
matter." "
Secretary Hay reached Into his
pocket and drew out a long typewrit-
ten document.
"1 have here a few words on that
subject, Mr. President," he said,
"which 1 took the liberty to write in
case there should be what you have
so aptly called a providential Inter-
vention." •
"Bully," shouted the president. "Give
the statement to the press."
CHAPTER IX.
'During the night some person crept
up ta the White House and pinned to
one of the immaculate pillars a pla-
card. reading as fplktws:

Secretary Loeb, arriving earl -aw
the placard and indignantly tore It
down.
| "The most alarming feature of the
I signs of the times," he exclaimed, "is
the lack of appreciation for the dig-
nity of the president and his liigb
motives fn this and other affairs of
great moment." .
