Let's rope him in. “Go and find him this afternoon, Algy,” said Hugh, rising. “And tell |nim to keep his mouth shut. {come with you, but it occurs to me that the wretched Potts, bathed in tears at the Carlton, is in need of sympathy. I would have him weep on my shoulder awhile. So long, old idear. You'll hear from me in a day or two.” It was as he reached the pavement that Algy dashed out after him, with genuine alarm written all over his fac Hugh,” he spluttered, “there’s only one stipulation.An armistice must be declared during Ascot week.” With a thoughtful smile on his face Drummond sauntered along Pall Mall. He had told Longworth more or less on tae spur of the moment, knowing that gentléman's capabilities to a nicety. Under a cloak of assumed flippancy he concealed an iron nerve which had never yet failed him; and, in spite of the faet that he wore an entirely~ unnecessary eyeglass, he could see further into a brick wall than most of the people who called { him a fool. It was his suggestion of telling Toby Sinclair ‘that caused the smile. For it had started a train of thought {in Drummond's mind which seemed to him to be good. If Sinclair—why not two or three mere equally trusty i sportsmen? Why not a gang of the boys? Toby possessed a V.C., and a good one—for there are grades of the V.C., and those grades are appreciated to the recipient’s brother officers if not by the general public. The show would fit Toby like a glove. . . Then there was Ted Jerning: ham, who combined the roles of an amateur actor of more than average merit with an ability to hit anything at any range with every conceivable type of firearm. And Jerry Seymour in the Flying Corps. Not a bad thing to have a flying man—up one’s sleeve. And’ possibly some one versed in the ways of tanks might come in handy. . . . ‘The smile broadened to a grin; surely life was very good. And then the grin faded, and something sus- piciously like a frown took its place. For he had arrived at the Carlton, and reality had come back to him. He seemed to see the almost headless body of a man lying in a Belfast slum. “Mr. Potts will see no one, remarked the man to whom he ad- dressed his question. “You are about the twentieth gentleman who has been here already today.” . Hugh had expected this, and smiled genially. “Precisely, my stout fellow,” he re- marked, “but I'll lay a small amount of money that they were newspaper men. Now, I'm not. And I think that if you will have this note delivered to Mr. Potts, he will see me.” He sat down at a table and drew sheet of paper toward him. Two facts were certain: First, that the man upstairs was not the real Potts; second, that he was one of Peterson’s gang. The difficulty was to know ex- a¢ty how to word the note. There might be some mystic pass-word, the omission of which would prove him an impoétor at once. At length he took a pen and wrote rapidly; he would have to chance it. 1 a_nicety by “Mr. Potts will see you, sir.

What is it?” Hugh rose and casually picked up his hat. He had got more out of the interview than he had hoped for. and there was nothing to be gained by prolonging it. that Mr, Potts’ impersonator was a man of unpleasant disposition. and that tactically a flanking movement to the door was indicated. being of an open nature himself, it is possible that the real state of af- fairs showed for a moment on his face. suddenly aroused the other's sus- picions and, with a squeal of fury, he sprang past Hagh to the door. “Who are you?” He spat the words out venomously, at the same time whipping an ugly-looking knife out of his pogket. Hug the table and grinned gently. “I am the insolent puppy of a sol- dier, .dear old bird,” he remarked, watching the other warily. “And if 1 was you I'd put the tooth-pick away. . You might hurt yourself—" As he spoke he was edging, fittle by little, toward the other man, who crouched snarling by the door. \'s eyes, grim and determined, never lert the other’s face; his hands, apparently hanging listless by his sides, were tingling with the joy of what he knew was coming. . nd the penalty of failure is death, sn’t It, dear one?” He spoke almost dreamily, but not for an instant did his attention relax. The words of Olaki, his Japanese instructor, were ringing through his brain: “Distract his attention if you can, but, as you valge your life, don't let him distract yours.” And so0, almost imperceptibly, he crept towards the other man talking gently. “Such is your rule. And I think you have failed, haven't you, you unpleas- ant specimen of humanity? How will they kill you, I wonder?" It was at that moment that the man' made his mistake. It is a mistake that has nipped the life of many a promising pussy in the bud, at the hands, or rather the teeth, of a dog that knows. He looked away; only for a moment—but he looked away. Just as a cat's nerves give after a while and it looks round for an ave- nue of escape, so did the crouching man take his eyes from Hugh. And quick as any dog, Hugh sprang. ‘With his left hand he seized the man’s right wrist, with his right he seized his throat. Then he forced him upright against the door and held him there. Little by little the grip of his right hand tightened, till the other's eyes were starting from his head, and he plucked at Hugh's face with an impotent left arm, an arm not long enough by three inches to do any damage. And all the while the soldier smiled gently, and stared into the other's eyes. Even when inch by inch he shifted his grip on the man’'s knife hand he never took his eyes from his opponent’s face; even when with a sudden gasp of agony the man drop- ped his knife from fingers which, of a sudden, had become numb, the steady., merciless glance still bored into his brain. “You're not very clever at it, are you?* sald Hugh softly. “It would be 80 easy to kill you now, and, except for the inconvenience I should un- doubtedly suffer, it mightn't be a bad idea. But they know me downstairs. and it would make it so awkward when I wanted to dine here again. . . . So, taking everything into ac- count, I think—" ‘There was a sudden lightning move- ment, & heave and a quick jerk. The impersonator of Potts was dimly con- scious of flying through the air, and of hitting the floor some yards from the door. He then became acutely conscious that the floor was hard, and that being winded is a most painful experience. Doubled up and groaning, he watched Hugh pick up his hat and istick, and make for the door. He | made a frantic effort to rise, but the | pain was too great, and he rolled over jeursing. while the soldier, his hand on the door-knob, laughed gently. “T'll keep the toothpick,” he re- marked, “as a memento.” The next moment he was striding along the corridor toward the lift. As a fight it had been a poor ome, but his brain was busy with the informa- tion he had heard. True, it had been scrappy in the extreme, and, in part, had only confirmed what he had sus- pected all along. The wretched Granger had been foully done to death, for no other reason than that he was the millionaire’'s secretary. Hugh's jaw tightened; it revolted his sense of sport. It wasn't as if the poor blighter had done anything: merely because he existed and might ask inconvenient questions he had been removed. And as the lift shot downward, and the remembrance of the grim struggle he had had in the darkness of the Elms the night be- fore came back to his mind, he won- dered once again if he had done wisely in not breaking Peterson's neck while he had had the chance. He was still debating the question in his mind as he crossed the tea- lounge. And almost unconsciously he glanced toward the table where three days before he had had tea with Phyllis Benton, and had been more than half inclined to believe that the whole thing was an elaborate leg-pull. = (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.). i THINKING THAT 1€ AND BeECOME THE SH, Depr’ But it struck him !

ENDOWMENT Alumni Association Believes Rapid Expansion Requires Fund. Plans for raising a large endowment fund for George Washington University were discussed at the annual meeting of the. alumni association of the institu- tion last night at the Washington Club, 1701 K street. It was pointed out that the university ranks among the leading universities of the country and that the enrollment is_increasing by leaps and bounds, but that further expansion will be conditioned by thetcreation of a large endowment. Alumni support of student activities was pledged in a resolution adopted. A committee, cor.isting of Prof. John Paul Earnest of the law school, C. C. Cal- houn, Carl A. Mapes, Mrs. Joshua Evans, jr., and Miss Martha Magrew, was appointed to determine the charac- ter and cxtent of support possible. Dr. W. K. Butler was elected presi- dent of the alumni association to suc- ceed Dr. Howard 1. Hodgkins, dean of the department of arts and sciences. Prot. Elmer Louis Kayser, secretary of the university, was re-elected secretary- treasurer of the association. lowing vice presidents were chosen: M. L. Burchell, Columbian College; Maj. Frank Van Vleck. school of graduate studies; C. B. Cruickshanks, engineer- ing department; Prof. Paul law school, and Miss M. O. Bradshaw, Teachers' College. i I 1 Association Soon to Determine Name for Junior High School. “Emory Wilson” probably will be the O Street Junior High School by the Parent-Teacher Association as a testimonial to the late principal of Central High School. At the asso- ciation’s meeting last night a num- ber of names for the school were suggested, but none definitely decid- €d on. Among them are Champ Clark, i Theodore Roosevelt and Columbia. The last name was presented by the Americanization School students, who occupy a part of the school. Miss Alice Deal, principal of the Junior High School, indicated that she is anxious to obtain a suitable name for the institution to avoid con- fusion. The name will be determineq at the next meeting of the Parent- Teacher Association. 1t was reported by Frank J president of the asso Knicker- ganization at Crandall's . ‘bocker: Theater Wednesday. 3 - TLE Son wHeN oLn AND THE 2 LITIEE THAD FAD GONE i1TO TAE KIVCHEN — —_ and present/| local alumni_as- !

Passover, the feast of unleavened bread. is to be celebrated this year beginning tomorrow and continuing a week, the concluding service of the holiday failing on April 2 The serv- ices will be celebrated in the various synagogues of the cit Hebrew mote antiquity, when it w by the early Hebrew tribes as an ag- ricultural spring festival. At an early period Pe: vas transformed into {a festival e ting the redemption fof the Hebrews from Egyptian slavery. By connecting this festival with the wondrous deliv ce of the Hebrews yoke. new intent was provided for its observance. The tival and the ritual ceremony ob- served during the seven days in which it is celebrat. among reform Jews, or eight days among the orthodox. is not only idehtified with the exodus of the children of Israel from Egyptian tyranny, but further symbolizes joy in the triumph of liberty and freedom over oppression and slavery. The festival of Pesach was used by the Synagogue as a mcans of conse- crating the Jewish home to God, who is regarded as the redeemer and pro- tector of Isracl. The story of the de- liverance of their forefathers from bondage and slavery reminded the Jews of God's providential guidance and gave them confidence in their final redemption from all oppression and woe. During the Passover week the ‘matzoth,” unleavened bread. is eaten. This food, described as the “bread of affliction.” is a_symbol reminding the present generation of the hasty exo- dus of Israel from the land of oppres- sion. The feast of Passover is ushered i with a home ceremony, the “sede: held on the eve of Passover. All mem- bers of the family participate in its observance. The ritual of the seder includes the reading of a richly adorned tale of deliverance, “The Hagadah,” wherein the various events leading up to the exodus and imme- diately following are told. The “seder” celebration radiates an exuberant spirit of thankfulness and joy. The symbolism of the seder re- flects the circumstances of the en- slavement of the children of Israel in Egypt as well as the hopeful outlook for the final triumph of freedom for all mankind.
