his title. As this was given he
whirled to proclaim It, accompanying
each evolution with a blast on his
horn. Knight OF the Golden Spur"

rider naxt him had answered and that
the herald had paused before him.
Knight Of the Crimson Rose!" It
sprang to his lips without forethought,
an echo. perhaps. of the improvised
sash and the flower In his hat-band.
but the shout Of the herald and the
trumpet's blare seemed to make the
words fairly bulge with inevitability.
And through this struck q sudden ap-
palled feeling that he had really
spoken shirley's name. and that every
one had heard. He could not see her
face, and clutched his lance nercely
to overcome an insane desire to stoop
hideously In his saddle and peer un-
der the shading hat-brim. Lest he
should do this. he fastened his eyes
determinedly on the major. who now
proceeded TO deliver himself Of the

NO DELAY In CONGRESS
FROM TANGO, THEY SAY
Legislators Deny Statement of Sen.
ator Kenyon that Dance Clogs the
Wheels Of Legislation.

Leading legislators denied yesterday
that the allurements of the tango-maxixe-
hesita ton epidemic kept them from the
business OF the nation as charged by
Senator Kenyon in Philadelphia speech
Sunday night. Representative Mann, gen
orally on the alert to charge Democratic
members with dilvtoriness, termed the
accusation rank bunk" l wish more
of the fellows up here would break loose
in the tango" he said. 1T would wake
them up."
Progressive Leader Murdock modestly
admitted a little tango efficiency. He
said: Congressman are too busy for
social gayeties. The only time most
legislators break loose is on Saturday
night. BY that time many Of us are
ready to tango or do anything else that
will bring legitimate diversion"
Four other tangoists OF the House are
understood to be Representative Nc
Kellar. Representative Campbell, Rep
-csentative Connolly. and Peter Goelst
Gerry.
On the Senate side, few of Senator Ken
yon's colleagues could be found who
would indorse his views. Senator Hoke
Smith. of Georgia, who is said to be
learning some OF the new steps, refused
to discuss the question, and Senator
Sutherland declared that the tango had
not as yet threatened the United States
Constitution. Senator PoindeNter was
sure the delay was not due to dancing.
