The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-02-05

voice-it was too funny to listen to
her COO to the fierce and surly In
dian chief, "Now, Red Wolf in the
Rain, arc you going to be nice to
us this evening? We are so glad
to hear you again! Captain Ross's
little grandson is here, and wants
you to tell us if the faces of the
redmen are white in your happy
world"
Bunny was taking Wee about to
see Paris; q city which was ex-
hibiting to the world the moral col
lapse of capitalist Imperialism. In
the theatres Of this culture centre
YOU might see a stage Of crowded
naked women, their bodies painted
every color of the rainbow; some of
them died Of the poisoning which
this treatment inflicted upon the
system, but meantime the war for
democracy was justified While
Bunny was there, the artists of the
city took offense because the man
ayers Of the underground railway
objected to an obscene advertise
ment; to express their scorn of
censorship, some hundreds of men
and women emerged at dawn, hav-
ing torn off their clothing in drunk
en- orgies, and invaded the subway
cars entirely naked. These beauty
creators and guides Of the future
held festival once every year, the
Quatres Arts Ball, a famous event
to which Wee, as a visiting artist,
was welcome; and here, when the
revels were at their height, you
might stroll about a vast hall, and
see, upon platforms set against the
walls, the actual enactment of every
variety of abnormal vice which hue
man degeneracy had ben able to
conceive.
With the time he had left from
such diversions, Bunny was prepar-
ing for "The Young Student"
moving protest against the Rou-
manian White Terror. He left this
nearly completed manuscript on the
writing table in his hotel room, and
when he came back it was gone.
and inquiries among the hotel staff
brought no information. Two days
later BERTHE came to him with an
other tantrum; she knew all the
contents of his manuscript, and
what shame he was bringing upon
their headsl $50 Eldon's been set
ting spies on mel" exclaimed Bun
ny, ready to get hot himself; but
BERTHE said rubbish, Eldon had moth
ing to do with it, it was the French
secret service. Did he imagine for
a moment the government was fail
ing to keep track of Bolshevik pro-
paganda? Or that they would let
him use their country as a centre
of plotting against the peace Of
Europe?
Bunny wanted to know, were they
so silly as to imagine they could
keep him from writing home what
Le had learned in Vienna? He
would do the article over, and find
ways to get it to America in spite
Of all the spies. Then BERTHE actu-
ally broke down and wept; of all
countries for. him to pick out =
Roumanial Here she had been pull
ing wires to get Eldon appointed
to a high diplomatic post, with the
combined influence Of Verne in
Washington and Prince Marescu in
Bucharest; and now Bunny came
along and smeared them with his
filth!
And more than that! Blind fool,
couldn't he see that Marescu was
interested in Wee? Did he want to
give her up to him? The prince
would of course hear about this
matter through the French govern
ment, which was arming Roumania
against Russia. Suppose he were to
come back to Paris and challenge
Bunny to a duel? The young smart
aleck answered, "We'll fight with
tennis rackets!"
