OleyefneSS- w. Douglas Newton,

EARLY IN his political career,
Hubert Quossing had been
accused Of i9tellissnee, and
the stigma chung.
He was one Of those tall, firm
young men who have the gift Of
appearing almost human IN any
press snapshot. In repose he had
3 manner which made the sturdy
oak look like q far too excitabie
leek in comparison. This Buddhis-
tic calm was rendered amazing by
q secretary whose taste in rhetoric
was such as to cause the sternest
efforts Of Mr.. Lenin to seem the
mere lispings of d fond grand
mother. When the speeches of
such a secretary emerged from the
craven, not to say butler, calm of
Hubert, the, world was treated to
the startling charm of a liomely
cottage loaf displaying the more
earnest emotions of Vesuvius.
Having these gifts, and having
won what the party whips counted
a hopeless seat in Labor area, he
was, until he arrived in the House
of Commons, considered a coming
man. Once in the House, however,
1t did not seem as though he would
come all the way. The House is
large, moist area in which provin-
cial squibs made no more than a
damp splutter. Hubert Quogging
went the way of his kind, which
was rather distressing for him, for
he felt that the cut Of his figure
was especially suitable for Govern
ment benches.
1t was not until after two years
Of striving silence that he encount-
cred Lady Peter Stern, and found
through her the means to rise.
1t was queer meeting. Hubert,
through no virtue of his own,
found himself in one of our most
modest and discreditable streets at
that hour when human nature is
not quite certain whether it ought
to be in its pajamas or its cold tub.
In this particular street they gen.
orally thought about supper at this
time. Walking along its pavement
wondering why it was that, no
matter how brilliantly his secretary
had worked, the Times could say
no more of the principal item of
debate than, "And Quogging spoke
too" Hubert ran into two men and
a maid.
The maid was Lady Peter, the
men were impossible. They had
also striven with considerable sue
cess to render themselves more so.
They were bright and reeling ex-
amples of Things a Young Woman
Should Not Know. How Lady
Peter came to be mixed up with
them matters not But she was,
profoundly and literally. She had
spent an evening with them and
brothers and sisters of their kind
at one of those night clubs spe-
cially constructed to shock to the
core the readers of Sunday news
papers. Hubert ran into the three
Of them at their most inextricable
moment. They also ran into him,
and all round him, and the largest
of the men pressed Hubert's hat
firmly and convincingly down to
the tip of his nose; one of the
others tripped him, and several re-
moved his boots.
The Washington herald., 1922-11-26

Hubert caught . severe cold
through walking on West Central
payements ID silk socks, but that
did not prevent him from going TO

father ire next day. Lady Peters
father was one Of those dim mol,
luscular forces that loom behind
cabinets. Nobody knows quite
why they are there, but from their
shy, dark movements come those
impulses that make . great major
ity what II 4. Lady Peters father
wask in fact . power behind the
throne.
Hubert tried 10 tank his way
into the neighborhood Of Lady
Peters father; but there were
about him 20 many young men.
who knew that one day they must
be at least lords Of the treasury,
that the feat was impossible. He
sat down beside Lady Peter in.
stead, and after . rather nervous-
opening about the weather and the
latest play, Hubert suddenly found
himself mentioning his ambitions.
II, he told her, he could ever
get a chance Of doing anything In
the Colonial Once line-then he'd
show the nation. He was quite
willing to show the nation some
thing from the War Office or the
Admiralty, but It was only the
Colonial Office that had a vacancy
at the present moment. -.
He talked about 1t q good deal.
How intensely he desired this po-
sition. What chance it would
mean to him.
Lady Peter sat quietly and
palely listening. She was, on the
whole, a charming and even sedate
girl of no outstanding wickedness,
who sometimes gave way to rashes
of more than unwise recklessness.
She. was supremely conscious of
the fact that this time She had
gone considerably more than too
far. If the episode of the night
club and her two companions got
out there would be the deuce to
pay. She listened to the one man
who could give her away with al
most painful attention. ] She re-
membered his reputation for clev-
erness.
A week later dense masses of
the only possible man for the job
learnt with dismay that this un-
known back-bencher, Hubert
Quogging, had got the Colonial
Office post.
From that moment Hubert be-
gan to haunt Lady Peter-and to
rise. There was no doubt that
Lady Peter had been the instru-
ment through which Hubert had
obtained his job, and Hubert
thought it only natural, in the cir
cumstances, to confide his further
ambitions.
He dropped in regularly to talk
over things with her, but never SO
regularly as when there was a new
position going. He used to say,
"You are so helpful, Lady Peter.
You understand me, and what is
in me. l feel / can confide in you
as in nobody else.l You, too, see
that / have the power to grapple
with things, that / have views on
administration. It's like talking
to a twin soul. -.
After he had talked 10 his twin

soul, be invariably mounted vet
ahcthef step towards the front
bench. Lady Peters father, Z
shrewd enough man out 81 his
home, but I too fond father within
i, found that subtly he was becom-
ing possessed BY the thought that
this young Quegging was
Parliamentarian Of immense moral
significance. He did not quite
know how the thought had come
to him, but since II was there he
fancied It must have resulted from
his own shrewd Judgment. After
al, this Quogging had started out
as . clever clap ! won that
seat against odds, and 90 forth.
Also he did not make mistakes.
People who look like higher phase
Of butler and act like Buddha-
that is,> with a strong, placid
silence - don't make mistakes.
They simply look profound and
keep their tongues between their
teeth while they get someone else
to smooth out the mess.
And then Lady Peter, who was
shedding her rather wild ways, saw
lot of the fellow, and thought a
lot of him.. too. Lady Peter was
always bringing him up in con-
versation His daughter, too,
had suddenly exchanged her rather
breathless snnartnesses for q ydevo-
tion To bazaar openings, attend
ance at the meetings Of Young
Sinn-Fein-C -Conversative Guilds, lay
ing foundation stones at Rabbit
Clubs, and, like high political do
ings. She had become Q true

q lot of young Quogging. She

that is, when his position was made
Lady Peter felt that she had
finished with him.
But she hadn't. One wet day he
came round and proposed. II
wasn't very good proposal, for,
naturally, he couldn't let his secre-
tary write out a speech like that
But he did express a certain idea
that he fancied it necessary they
should join to conquer the world

asked. Then she said, almost with

Chicago, Sept. 30.-The sport of
kings after an 18-year blight in Illi-
nois, was revived here today when
$4,000 spectators jammed the historic
Hawthorne track for the opening of
the twelve-4ay 'oetless" meeting
under the auspices Of the Illinois
Jockey club.
While remnants of the old guard
were present the famous and familiar
figures Of the turf in the years of its
glory in Chicago was missing. A
generation was present. The grand
stand held many women, young and
old, Racing in the raw, divested of
its color and pageantry of two dee
AIDES ago, was on the program.
The excitement Of the betting ring
and the thrill Of the big wagers
made by followers Of the turf Of 20
years ago were gone. The betting
ring today was a place for secret con
ferences. The huge shed of the old
ring was crowded between races, but
the widely advertised presence of de-
tecHves from the state attorneys Of
flee put damper on the proceedings.
The wager takers were made even
more shy when two alleged book
makers were arrested and Frank
Matousek, assistant state attorney,
added to the quietness in the ring by
announcing that if gambling is dis
covered everyone connected with the
races, including the officials, would
be prosecuted.
AS for the races there were plenty
of entries, good, bad and Indifferent,
and the horses raced around the
course that pleased the spectators,
but caused the old timers to recall
the 'good old days" The feature of
the day was the effort of EZtermi-
nator, Willis Sharpe Kilmer's great
seven-year-old bay gelding, to break
the course record of 2:43-5 estab-
lished by Dodge, three-year-old.

ALL ISLAM IS AROUSED
Says Christian World
Should Raise Voice in
Protest
tBy Associated Press )

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Another great
war cloud hangs over Europe, United
States Senator William E. Borah, of
Idaho, declared today in an address
before the Press Club, of Chicago. He
declared the situation was the result
of politics and intrigue, and he said
he was in favor of telling England
and France That their policies were
condemned by the conscience of the
Christian world and that "you shall
find no sympathy or succor in this
part Of the globe"
After the world war, the senator
charged, ..''the white race, the Chris
tian race, began 20 shoot down and
kill and murder the people Of Syria
and Mesopotamia and Egypt and In
dia and make ready to exploit their
oil fields and their natural wealth."
He declared that it was a story of
"treachery nowhere surpassed"
After promises of liberty and inde-
pendence the results, he said. were
that all Islam was aroused, from
which, he said "the Lord alone can
tell the consequences"
81 think something can be done"
he said. 81 think the Christian
world can raise its voice in behalf of
justice to those people against whom
we are now asked to prepare for
war"
