Lord Trevose, with the memory

him, echoed the chancellor's laugh,
"Of course 1t is an anachronism,
but a knife in Alphington's ribs

from humiliation; only a bold front

said, attempting to dress his mer-

Mr.. Northmoor, the home secre.

quickly from one to the other OF

For 20 seconds the premier, Lord
Alphingtcn, stood with his majestic
figure framed IN the black oak of
We doorway; then, shaking his
name like an angry lion, he turned
and was gone.
After an interval of awestruck
silence the other ministers followed
him out of the room--all but the
three who had been the cause Of
this unrehearsed effect. The tail
man with the STOPPING shoulders
and the yellow snags of teeth was
Sir Gideon Marske, the chancellor
of the exchequer; the ponderous,
oily man was Mr.. Northmoor, the
home secretary; the brisk little
man with the furtive eye was Wis
count Trevose. secretary of state
for war. Professional politicians,
they were none of them rich, and
the premier's threat to reconstruct
or resign touched the pockets Of
these pretent.ous but impecunious
men.
The question at issue was the at
titude to be preserved toward for
eign power. The prime minister's
policy made for Cancellation; his
opponents were for yielding to pop
ular clamor, which would probably
plunge the country into war and in
volve an enormous expenditure.
