his spirit. He was glad he had ans

was Western and demanded freedom.
Twilight had deepened across the

Ming had concluded the evidence, the
prince moved. His robe tinkled with
spangles as he unfolded his long per-
son and descended to the level Of his

past. The prince wore no queue. He
looked a moment ut the white pris-
oners. close up, much as child re-

he could explain his meaning. March
was taken away, and Cons slave

very burly and dull. An order was
given, and Lexington was led away

In his apartment. after sunset, he
tried to think his way out, but failed
to understand why he was not killed

trial. Their death had previously been
delayed by her order.
Plainly. Chez Ming had his own will
In matters brought before the prince.
Who. and where. was the monarch for
the central chair that had been vacant?
Lexington sat at the low stone table
on the roof. to finish his dinner and
try to study out means of escape.
In the circumstances, he felt that
their federal mission was doomed to
remain unperformed. He looked out
into the misty lowlands where the
lifting vapors were colored by an after
glow Of sunset into drifting peacock
plumes, strands Of illusive violet and
gold. The fiocks had disappeared. A
weishty silence pressed down over the
valley-a twilight Of apprehension.
He started. A curious object
dropped at his feet. It was the long.
tailed monkey with the white face.
Inquisitive. the creature had come to
examine the new arrival, but Its eyes
twitched with fear and childlike un-
certainty. Lexington tossed him a

AMUSEMEN Isl
Gilbert K. Chesterton.

Gilbert X. Chesterton. who has
| been paradoxinE his way through
the United States lately. came to
Washington yesterday and told an
audience at the National Theater all
about the Ignorance Of the Edu-
Gated" Needless to say. q good time
was had by all.
1t is hard to report Mr.. Chesterton's
remarks, unless they are taken ver-
batim and transcribed from steno-
graphic notes. Giving the sense Of
his statements takes away the Ches-
tertonian tinge.
Judging from Mr.. Chesterton's re-
norance of the educated would ap-
pear to be as harmless as the au-
thor's apparent delight in pointing
1t out. AS an instance, he described

refined" Nor is there anything in
history which would substantiate the
theory. continued the author, that
primitive woman was so much more
averse to matrimony than her mod
ern sister.
Mr.. Chesterton did not lose his op-
portunity to talk a little about H. G.
Wells, particularly his recent His
tory of the World" He ridiculed the
doubtful chronological name of
Czechoslovakia for Bohemia" He also
spent much time on such terms as
Teuton. for Germans: Jugoslavia, and
Anglo-Saxon, the latter term origi-
nally being applied to people who
wanted to prove themselves Germans
and which fingered long after, the
people concerned wanted to prove
anything but that. -- ..---...'~.-.
Mr.. Chesterton deviated a bit from
his theme by discoursing at length
on what might be called "The Ugli-
ness of Beautiful Broadway"
The author may have been. disap-
pointed yesterday in the fact that no
questions were asked following his
lecture. In Baltimore. wtere he lee
tured before coming here, he was
questioned for some time after his
talk. The desire Of those present. to
