...Hopson left that session one of Senator Black's servers thrust into his hands a subpena ordering him to appear instanter before the Senate Committee. The Senate Committee waited for him all afternoon but he did not appear. That night Sergeant Jurney made the search which ended so surprisingly at the Shoreham. Next day Representative O'Connor and Senator Black were again at swords' points, for it turned out that Mr. Hopson had a good excuse for not appearing before the Senate on the previous afternoon : the House Committee had had him testifying at a secret session. If the Senate...

Hurley, onetime Secretary of War, had advised against it on the ground that A. G. & E. "might get the works if we appear."

Tennis, a game in which size and muscle would appear to be indispensable, always includes one or more practicing peewees. Like Bill Johnston and Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant, Mrs. Arnold, 120 Ib. and just 5 ft., often looks absurd when she comes out on the court, smiling shyly up at her opponent whose subsequent beating becomes all the more distressing. It would be in accurate to say that Mrs. Arnold's apparent limitations as a player disappear when her matches start. She covers the court in a series of wild scrambles, hits a jerky forehand that looks better suited...
