He didn't think much about that He
even forgot to ask her where he was to

telephone to the people who owned her
studio to find out. He wasn't New
Yorker-the numbers of side streets and
the house numbers therein meant little
to him, except as directions to give to
the chautfeurs of taxicabs. He expected,
perhaps, to find decent, Woodworking

ushered him into solemn and resplendent

to greet him, shimmering vision in the
sort of dress that even he could identify,
with bare shoulders and with jewels at
her throat
He even knew her father-by sight In
five years he might have hoped by un-
ceasing and efficient attention to his bus-
ness and his directors, to win an occasional
nod from this financial Titan when he
brushed against him in bank or luncheon
club. And now Maxwell smiled pleas
antly and held out his hand, and said he
was glad to see him

He dared to look at Anne after a time
during which he mumbled the names of
radiant ladies to whom he was presented
and shook the hands of men. But she
wasn't smiling; she didn't look at all as if
she had planned surprise for him. 1t
struck him suddenly that she thought he
had known all the time; and the look she
bent on him was grave, sober, full of
thought. She seemed to be revolving
some weighty problem in her mind.

sat at the other end of the table, indeed,

thought he saw faint CLEAN of amuse-

Waking Up England

THE rumble of this upheaval reached
the ears of the British Cabinet. Hughes
was invited to England to advise about
the future fiscal policy of the Empire.
Thus it came about that the doughty
little Australian Premier showed up at
Liverpool on a bright morning last
spring. To handful of English states
men he was known as the fighting
colonial; but to the great mass of the
British nation at home he was absolutely
unknown.
Then happened the miracle. With his
first speech he electrified his audience
The dynamic message that had stirred
the men of bush and range now reused
the slothful Britons. What the Lloyd
Georges, the McKennas, the Asquiths,
the Runcimans. and the Bonar Laws
had failed to do, this wiry Welshman
achieved.
Up and down the kingdom he preached
the gospel of trade war against the
German. He declared that the only way
the Empire could "come back was
through uncompromising economic indie
pendence. In a fortnight his name was
on every tongue and municipalities were
fighting to give him their freedom. Life,
for him, became one long banquet, pune
tuated with speeches.
When the famous Economic Congress
OF Allies was held at Paris, Hughes was
the peoples choice for imperial delegate.

the enemy powers will be due eiEirely to
the influence of the one-time umbrella
mender, now one of the bulwarEs of the
Empire. Reluctantly the great Nnass of
English people saw him depart fot home
When l left London last September,
great movement was under way TO recall
him to his predestined place as spseder-up
of patriotism. q
What of the man behind this DRAMA of
almost unparalleled performance To
see Hughes in action is to get the impress
sion of human dynamo suddenly let
loose. His face is keen and sharp; his
mouth is thin; his cheeks are shrunken;
his arms and legs are long, and he has
curious way of stuffing his clencbed fists
into his trousers pockets. Some one has
called him the Mirabeau of the Australian
proletariat. Certainly he looks it, He
has nervous energy almost beyond
belief. His enemies have always de-
clared that, for deaf man. he hears
amazingly well. Only Lloyd-George sur
passes him in fervor and passion of
eloquence.
Hughes is democrat of democrats. In
Australia the humblest wharf-rustler halls
him by his first name. A story will illus
trate the comradeship that exists between
Hughes and his constituency.

Practical Democracy

ON his last visit to England, he crossed
over to France to visit the bush troops
at the front. He was walking along a
trench with General Birdwood, who is in
command of the Australian contingent,
and stopped to chat with group of men
who had been at Gallipoli. Suddenly
shell shrieked overhead. Quick as
flash, an Australian Tommy yelled to the
Premier:
"Duck, Billy, duck!"
Here is practical democracy. Nowhere.
in all the varied human side of the
war, does it find more impressive en-
bodiment than in the self-made little
antipodean whose career is miracle Of
