"They might huve known it all along If they'd cared to deduce," he sald. "Did they really believe that Russia was going to sit cally looking across the Herl-RRud while the shal played at mobilizing?

At sound of his volce Loder lifted bls face. It was quite pale again, but the energy and resolution that had come fnto it when Lakeley first spoke were still to be seen. "No, Lakeley," he dd} very slowly, "It's not the sort of moment in ok a man doubts himself." CHAPTER XIX. ND so It came to pass that Loder was freed from one responsi- bility to undertake another.

In this manner cage the news trout Persin and with It Loder's definite; call. In the momentary stress of ag- tion it was Impossible that any thought of Chllcote could obtrude itself. Even bad followed each other too rapidly, @ectsive getlion had been too mi thrust upon him, to allow of hesi tion, and tt was In this spirit, undes this vigorous pressure, that he made his attack upon the government on thet day that followed Iralde's luncheon! party.

Betting the thought of | Chilcote aside, ignoring his own posi- tion and the risks he dally ran, he had fully yielded to the glamour of the mo ment and in the first freedom of © loose rein be had given unreservedly | all that he possessed of activity, capac ity and determinatiofr to the cause tbat bad claimed him. Singularly privileged in ao constant personal contact with Fraide, he learn¢ ed many valuable lessons of tact and organization in those five vital days during which the tactics of a whole party hung upon one ttem of news from | a country thousands of miles away. | For should Russia subdue the insur: | gont Hazaras and, laden with the hom: | ors of the peacemaker, retire across | the frontier, then the political rend would remain undisturbed; but should the all important movement predicted | fore parliament rose for the Baster re- | cess, then the first blow in the fight | that would rage during the succeeding session must Inevitably be struck In| the meantime it was Frajde's dtfBcult | 2 position to wait and watch and yot pre: | serve his dignity. It was early in the afternoon of | March 29 that Loder, in response to & | long standing invitation, lupched quiet- | ly with the Fraldes.

It was then, amid a stir of Interest, | tbat Loder slowly rose. Many éurious Incidents have marked | of t ' thé speechmaking annals of the wor | of commons, but It is doubtful whether | It Las ever been the lot of a member to bear his own volce raised for the] first time on a subject of vitzl Interest to bls party, having been denied al?
