sealed documents, and will then for the
first time learn who it Is that I am
deputed to meet. I will then, after ac
complishing my mission, return to Otta
wa and meet the royal travelers."
The Count says he attempted to travel
Under the name by which he was known
Jn the United States during his long resi
dence there, but found his Incognito had
been so easily pierced by the publishing
of his photograph in the New York papers
that he has now dropped all attempt at
concealment. He has documents in his
possession which apparently establish his
Ifientlty.

, A Useful Giraffe.
"Good natured?" said the old circus
man, "Why the best In the world. When
the old man's boy used to get a baseball
lodged In a gutter at the eaves of the
house this was when we were off the
road In Winter quarters he never used
to get out at the scuttle and climb down
the roof and take the risk of falling off
and breaking his neck to get It. He
used to go to the barn and get out the
giraffe. The old lS-footer would trot along
after the boy he knew what was wanted
till they came to the house, and then
walk along the side looking down Into
tho gutter as he went along until he
came to the ball, and then he would pick
it up and bend his head down and give
it to the boy.
"One day when theyoungster had thrown
a ball up on the roof and had seen It roll
down Into the gutter he went as usual
after the giraffe. When the giraffe looked
along the gutter that day, there was no
ball there. He took his -nose out of the
gutter and looked down at the boy In
the yard tvith a large Interrogation mark
In each eye as much as to say:
" 'Sure It dl.1n't roll off somewhere?'
"And the boy said 'sure,' and then the
giraffe looked again, but It wasn't there,
and the giraffe so reported, with a solemn
shake of the head, and was driven back
to the barn.
"They wondered about this, for it was
the first time the giraffe had ever failed
to get the ball, and they knew It must
be there, but it Vas soon explained. A
day or two later there came a big rain
storm. Instead of running a big noisy
stream as usual, the tin water pipe from
the roof ran Just a little bit of a stream,
and the water that should have run off
In that way overflowed the gutter and
dripped In a thin sheet against the side
of the house. Then they knew why the
giraffe couldn't find the ball. It had
rolled down the water pipe."
Dogs Sacred In Turkey.
There Is much excitement in one of the
villages on the Bosphorus because of the
sudden disappearance of all the street
dogs. The matter is likely to have seri
ous consequences, owing to the fact that
a young French lady regarded 'some of
these dogs as her special pets and guard
ians from robbers at night. A few doors
off lives an English doctor, whose house
was overrun by rats and wildcats, and
to rid himself of these he gave his cook
poison to put in the kitchen one night
The poison was highly successful, but
unfortunately the remnants of the poi
soned food were put outsido the street
door by the cook for the dustman to re
move. The street dogs came along and
ate it, and then went and lay down at
the door of their lady friend and died.
She was very indignant, and has told her
story to all the Turks in the neighbor
hood, who are always horrified at the
killing of dogs. The doctor cook has
been arrested by the police, who are
holding an inquiry Into the matter. It
is curious to note that by the Ottoman
code a dog is unclean and not allowed to
enter a house, yet for killing one you aro
summoned for "taking life.''
