"'Naturally,"" Lutchester replied. "Your brother's name was a good, safe name to get behind. But to conelude with our friend Nikasti. He is supposed to leave New York next Siturday, and to carry to the Emperor of Japan an autograph letter from a name- lesa: person, promising him, if Japan will cease the export of munitions to Rustia, the aid of Germany in her impending cam: paign sgainst America."

He seems to be trying both at the same time. It is the sublime egotism of the Teutonic mind."" "It is monstrous!"

Because,' Lutchester replied, "'if he had not been actuated by personal motives, he would never have sought you out as an intermediary. There are other sources open to him, by means of which he could make equally sure of reaching the President's ear. His idea was to impress you. It was foolish: but natural.""
