Foreign Ministers and Their Booze

FOREIGN ministers and their booze are having a
rough road to travel in that stately city on the banks
Of the Potomac. Foreign ministers are imrnuned
from prosecution for possession of liquors. Their en-
bassies occupy holy ground. These ambassadors and
their under secretaries dearly love rare liquor. They
serve it at their banquets and dinners and other func-
tons.
Now the Washington police insist that the embas-
sizes must employ their own private trucks and en-
bsssy drivers in the transportation of their liquor
from Baltimore. Baltimore is a port of entry. There
the foreign ships land the liquids supplied for these
naughty representatives Of foreign governments. II
it IS a crime for an American to transport liquor or
to have liquor in his possession, why isn't it criminal
for an alien Of high or low degree?
Booze is booze but the embassy booze is said to be
prime old stuff. American citizens who are invited to
embassy dinners and embassy social functions are
said to wet their whistles whenever the opportunity
offers. Of course, an embassy is built on foreign soil,
even under the folds Of Old Glory and the laws of
The federal republic do not have Jurisdiction over
foreign territory.
Gross the Canadian border and it is a legitimate
trade. Under Old Glory it is a prohibited trade and
its traffic paves the ways to the nearest penitentiary.
1t is a noble experiment just as Herbert Hoover
said it was in his campaign for the presidency and
those who are backing the experiment promise to
make it real interesting for ~violators Of the pro laws
in the years to come.

and then
Well, it wouldn't happenl Brown
would hang on her heels, too! He'd
hang on until Doomsday-or until
he had e her safely housed some
where or other. Where? And would
she ever be safe, unless she received
some definite warning of her dan

method of warning her. Perhaps
he could write a message, or some

He opened his eyes. He was not
in a dentists chair. He was in a
train. There was the wonderful
girl. And there was the evil little
man. And there, her head sunk
a little forward, was the elderly
dame, surrounded by n less par
eel. The one less parcel was on the
floor.
Browns forhead was slightly
damp. He wondered how long he
had been asleep. He glanced to-
wards the girl, and noticed that her
head, also, was sunk a little for
ward. He wondered whether she
were dead! Quiet panic seized him.
He had to do something. The only
thing he could think of was to pick
up the parcel.
He bent down, noisily.
rs this yours?" he asked, in an
unnaturally loud voice.
The elderly dame raised her head
suddenly and Indignantly.
Gracious, how you made me
startl" she exclaimed. Eyes, it's
mine. 1t must have Thank you"
The girl stirred, too. Brown was
satisfied. He swore he would not go
to sleep again. He felt that the
World of Responsibility had a right
to place him against a wall and
shoot him.
The incident Of the parcel ap-
peared to have a revivifying effect.
The little man stretched himself,
and brought his right leg forward a
little. Brown found himself watch

was, in the living flesh, with real
danger threatening her, and only
Brown between!
Strictly speaking, he was not be-
tween her and the danger yet. The
danger sat opposite, in the form OF
five-foot-two of unsavory manhood
in a loud check suit.
There was one other occupant Of
the compartment, an elderly, black
gowned dame, surrounded by par
GELS. Brown thanked heaven for
her existence, for had she not been
present, who could say what might
not have happened in that COM
partment in the last two minutes?
The elderly lady was sitting on
the same side as the little man.
Brown, praying devoutly that he
was not looking as red as he felt,
took the seat opposite the elderly
lady. Thus he was on the same
side as the pretty girl, albeit sep
arated from her by an appreciate

nouSly closer.
Still, Brown could watch the little
man carefully from his position, and
this he proceeded to do. His en-
trance hay created some small psy-
Geological disturbance. The elderly
dame looked at him rather Suspl-
ciously (for he had selected the COM
partment late in the Journey. The
little man frowned slightly. The girl
turned her head a little, betraying
vague curiosity. But nothing def
mite materialized. which Brown at
tributed to the fact that he kept
very quiet; and a few seconds after
his entry he had been tacitly &C
copied and-he hoped-forgotten.
So far, SO good. What next?
Brown found himself in the dlscon-

to do. What was even more dis

least what kind of a thing he would
eventually be called upon TO do.

was not perturbed, however. TAX

pocket, he extracted one slowly, and
then looked directly at the girl.

civilly enough.

Browns soul became Illuminated at
her voice.
The girl looked towards the elder
ly dame.

dame.
Brown got a brain-wave.
There's a smoker next door," he
limited to the little man.
But the little man shoow his head.
He preferred his company to his
cigarette, and the cigarette vent
quietly back into its packet.
That's all right he said. Il amt

The next moment Browns heart
gave a bound. Something very ordi-
nary was happening, yet to his I'M
balanced mind it appeared colossal.
The train was slowing down.
Here's my chance!" he thought.
"If we stop, I'm going to do some
thing. Somehow"
The train did stop. Brown rose,
without a plan, but the plan took
wage shape as he walked to the
compartment door. He reached the
door, and was now standing be-

Nobody else moved.
"Gettin' out here?" queried the
little man, as Brown paused.
No don't think So" answered
Brown.
The reply a ridiculous. A man
knows whether he-is getting out at
a station or not. But Browns plan
had not become clear, and it APP
peared so simple. despite its crude
~daringness, that he hardly minded
what happened during the few Sc
onds before its execution.
He stood motionles for a few in
stants. then lowered the window.
Where's a paper boy he NUT
tered, audibly.
He felt that the little man was
watching him, but that might have
been mere imagination. The little
man could not possibly know what
was in his mind.
Where is that paper boy?" re-
peated Brown.
He poked his head out. No paper
boy was in sight. The guard was re-
turning to his van, and the train
would soc be off again.
I've got to judge this nicely"
thought Brown. If I do it too soon
it'll be no good-or if I do it to late.

his hand.
"Now!" gasped Brown to himself.
But aloud he shouted, There he

He threw open the door suddenly.
He heard the girl cry, BE carefull'
and he thanked her tacitly for the
warning. But he wasn't in the mood
to be careful-of himself, that was.
He swung the door wide, as the
train began to move, made a for

one, tottered against the side. and
appeared to lose his head. His hand
went out wildly. 1t caught the
shoulder of the little man. who was
bending forward with interest. The

CHAPTER II

Matters had moved with such
dizzy speed that, until now, there
had been no moment for sober re-
Election. Only half a dozen min
utes had elapsed since Brown had
jumped up from the table in his
restaurant, and those six minutes
had contained more than usually
came to Brown in a month. Far
more. In fact. it began to dawn on
the modest little clerk that they
had contained more than he had
previously experienced in the whole
Of his tWenty-four years of life.
But sober reflection came to him
noW-when it was too late to re-
tract. No. 3 platform Of Kings
Cross station was slipping back
wards, to become a confused mem
! DRY in this strange new reality, and
Brown had a weird feeling that he
was becoming detached from him
self, and that the Brown who had
eaten the poached egg-who had
been going to play in a tennis
match that afternoon, was already
very far away. Yes. this, surely.
was a new Brown! Not a very he
roic one. certainly, or a confident
one, but a Brown, who, finding the
die cast, was deciding to abide by
the throw.
For that attitude was the result
of Browns sober reflection as the
powerful engine snorted and steam
ed northward. i desSay I am a
fool" he thought. "but p'r'haps it's
better to be a whole fool than half
a fool" Anyway, he was in it now,
and the only thing was to adopt the
Drifting policy of seeing it through.
Eyes. but if I'm going to e it
through, I got to keep my wits" he
argued to himself. Il got to keep
my wits" he argued to himself. ST
got to act quick, and I got to get
back tonight, if I can"
His practiced fingers sought his
pocket, and counted the wealth
there. He know it must be w ten
dollars-he had been unusually saw
ing all the week-and he found it
was eleven dollars and four cents
above the return fare. assuming he
completed the journey. HIM! Not
a great deal to cover accidents!
We'll, there mustn't be any acct
dents" decided Brown. Il must just
find the girl, get a word to her
somehow, find out if there's any,
thing else I can do-and then hop
it back as soon as I can"
Towards this end he began to
walk engineWards along the corri-
dor into which he had leapt as the
train had started.
From this moment, Browns de-
| termination never wavered. The
girl sitting in the far corner of the
fourth carriage, with her back to
the engine. was the girl he dreamed
about. the inaccessible gold that
threaded through all his secret fan
cies. She was the heroine of all
the books he read. (AuthorS dupe
