Lady Deppingham and Browne came
upon the princess quite unexpectedly.
She was in the upper gallery. leaning
against the stone rail and gazing
steadily through the feldglasses in
the direction of the bungalow. They
held back and watched her, unseen.
The soft light of early evening fell
upon her figure as she stood erect,
1.-THE and sinuous, in the open space
between the ivy clad posts.
Genevra smiled securely in her sup
posed a~loofness from the world. Then,
suddenly moved by a strange impulse,
she gently waved her handkerchief as
if in greeting to some n far off In
the cleaning. The action was a mis-
chievous one. no doubt, and it had its
misrepresentation sudden and star
ting, If the observers were to judge
by her subsequent movements. She
lowered the glass instantly. There was
a quick catch In her breath, as If a
laugh had been checked; confusion
swept over her, and she drew back
into the shadows as a guilty child
might have done. They distinctly
heard her murmur as she crossed the
flags and disappeared through the
French window without seeing them:
"Oh, dear. what a crazy thing to dol"
Genevra, peering through the glasses,
had discovered the figure of Chase IN
the bungalow porch. She was amused
to find that he, from his distant post,
was also regarding the chateau
through a pair of glasses. A spirit Of
adventure, risk, mischief, as uncon-
trolled as breath itself, impelled her to
faunt her handkerchief. That treach-
erous spirit deserted her most shame
lessly when her startled eyes saw that
he was waving a response. She lay
awake for a long time hat night won
dering what he would think of her for
that wretched bit of frivolity. Then
at last a new thought came to her re-
lief, but it did not give her the peace
Of mind that she desired.

MR.. SAUNDERS HAS A PLAN.
n Hiss PELHAM'S affair with
M Thomas Saunders by this time
had reached the stage where
IL observers feel a hesitancy about
twitting the parties most concerned.
Miss Pelham is a clever girl, much
cleverer than Saunders would be If he
were a girl" said Britt. "She's found
out that he earns a thousand a year
and that his mother is a very old wo-
man. That shows foresight. She says
she's just crazy about London, al
though she doesn't know where Ham
mersmith is. That shows discretion.
She's anxious to see the boats at Put
ney and talks like an encyclopedia
about Kew gardens. That shows di-
plomacy. You see, Saunders lives in
Hammersmith, not far from the bridge,
all alone with his mother, who owns
the house and garden. It's all very
appealing to Miss Pelham, who has got
devilish tired of seeing the universe
from a nineteenth story In Broadway"
"She's a very nice girl" agreed Bob
by Browne.
"a very saucy one" added Doping
ham, who had come a severe cropper
In his single attempt to interest her in
a mild Irritation.
"She's off with Saunders now" went
on Britt. THAT'S why you can't find

however, 1 think you can reach him by

park, but don't fail to shout"

Deppingham, phlegmatic soul, was
forever disturbing Saunders with calls
to duty, although Saunders was bru-
fish enough In his British way to main

question. And this brings us to the
hour when Saunders unfolded his star
Ting solution to the problem that con-
fronted them all.
First he conided In Britt soberly,
sagely and in perfect good faith. Britt
was bowled over. He stared at Saun-
ders and gasped. Nearly two minutes
elapsed before he could find words to
reply, which proves co%nclusively that
it must have been something of a
shock to him. When at last be did
express himself, however, there was
nothing that could have been left I'M
said-absolutely nothing. He went so
far as to call Saunders a doddering
fool and q great many other things
that Saunders had not in the least eX-
pected.
The Englishman was stubborn,
They had it back and forth, from legal
and other points of view, and finally
Britt gave in to his colleague, reserv-
ing the right to laugh when it was
all over. Saunders, with a determine
ton that surprised even himself, called
for a conference of all parties in
Wyckholme's study at 4 o'clock.
"Now, what's it all about, Saun-
dersg' demanded Deppingham, with
a wide yawn. Saunders looked hurt.

said. but five weeks remain before

that voters are interested in the sub

be fought with the house of lords as

Could the campaign for the next
house of m be confined to the
question of restricting the powers of
the lords, there is no question that the
liberals would be returned to power by
an unprecedented majority. But, as
has been discovered in the United
States, campaign issues have a way of
making themselves after the party
platforms have been adopted and the
campaign is on. The unionists have
no intention of waging the next parlia-
mentary campaign with the house Of
lords as an issue. They are going to
force the tariff and other taxation ques-
tions to the fore.
The unionists are furnishing a strik-
ing text by the vast army of the un-
employed, which just now constitutes
England s greatest economic question.
They declare that free trade is a fiat
failure, when Great Britain stands
alone among the great commercial ma
tions in admitting imports free of tax,
In support of this they point to the
figures just issued by the liberal board
of trade, showing the export losses of
the chief commercial countries during
the past year. Not only did British
trade shrink by a much heavier per
eentage than that of its rivals, but its
actual losses were greater than those
of the United States, Germany and
Belgium combined. "When Cobdenism
cannot keep up the pace in foreign
tarade," declare the advocates of pro
lection, "its last justification has been
disposed off,"
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1909-04-03

as those on the tariff necessarily must
be- In the United States the average
voter has a pretty fair understanding
of tariff and generally has pretty firm
.ly settled convictions as to whether he
favors free trade or protection. In
Great Britain the average voter knows
next to nothing of the tariff, and if he
goes to hear a tariff speech he comes
with a tumble of almost mean
ingless figures in his head, and even
those figures have taken wings and
wholly departed by next morning.
There will have to be a campaign of
education covering many years before
the average Britisher can have any
conception as to where his interests
lie respecting tariff taxes.
To the man who has a job and a fam
lily to support the liberal orator makes
a powerful appeal by telling him that
the unionists propose to tax his break
fast table. The man out of a job is
told by the unionist that the liberal
policy of free trade is to blame. that
had the industry in which he formerly
engaged been protected he would be
employed. 1t is almost a waste of time
to attempt explanation or the why's and
wherefores of these arguments.

The theatrical production, however,

through the eye which is the despair of
orators who must appeal to the under

WEEKLY LONDON
News LETTER
By William True Hawthorne.

LONDON, March 24.-They have
some rather queer ways of doing
things in Great Britain. For months
the ~unionist press has been insisting
that the end of the liberal government
was in sight and that dissolution of
parliament was close at hand. The
liberal press has stoutly combated the
idea, declaring that the parliamentary
majority was intact and that whatever
failure had attended the governments
efforts to carry out its legislative pro-
gram was due to opposition of a tory
house of lords and not to weakness in
the Now comes Mr.. Pease.
chief ministerial whip in the house,
and during the course of an otherwise
unimportant speech casually mentions
hat "the appeal will come to the peo-
pie before many months are over
1t is the first intimation the minis
try has given that dissolution of par
Lament and a general election were
imminent and naturally Mr.. Pease's
speech has created something of a sen
sation. The program of the ministry
is to pass through the house of com
mons a bill restricting the power Of
the house of lords in legislation. AS a
matter of course, the lords will reject
the measure, whereupon it is planned to
dissolve parliament and appeal to the
country upon that issue. The minis
terial program was outlined at the very
beginning of t. present session of par
lament when Mr.. Ponsonby, in reply
ing to the speech from the throne, said:
"And further desire humDly to sub
NIT that the repeated rejection by the
house of lords of measures of capital
Importance which nave been passed in
this house by overwhelming majorities
has made it imperative that proposals
should be embodied in a bill for the
consideration of parliament this session
for regulating the relations of the two
houses of parliament in accordance
with the resolution of this house of
June 26, 1907, declaring that in order
to give effect to the will of the people,
as expressed by their elective repre-
sentatives, it is necessary that the pow
er of the other house to alter or reject
bills passed by this house should be
so restricted by law as to secure that
within the limits of a single parliament
the inal decision of the commons shall
prevail"
The meaning of this is that the lib
eral government believes the house of
commons, after the lapse of a reason
abel time, should have the power of
passing any bin rejected by the lords
over the veto of the latter. Upon this
issue the liberals are preparing to force
another general election.

As a matter of fact the p%arliamen-
tary campaign already has begun, and
it is taking a form which may furnish
a valuable tip to campaign managers in
the United States who nave a liking
for novelties. At a number of places
in the provinces theatrical plays are be-
ing produced, the plots of which hinge
on the tariff question.
The very compelling fact responsible
for this departure in British politics is
that voters will not go to hear political
speeches, especially such dry speeches
