J But her, hand failed to connect
with the towel rack and in fact she
could not even find the washstand
so still emitting cries OF ''ouch'
and 10000" and with eyes tightly
closed and arms swinging wildly
in every direction, she lunged
again towards the place where she
Thought the washstand stood. This
time her hand came in contact
with the lace curtains which were
quickly utilized, and a second or
so later, with tears streaming from
her smarting eyes, she gazed at the
innocent washstand and towel rack
which were still in their custom
airy places.
Rushing over to the chiffonier
she began brushing her hair, but
seeing a pair of red silk stockings
in the top drawer and thinking
she would save time by not having
to come back for them, she tossed
them on the bed on which lay her
street dress.
Her hair done to her satisfac-
ton she turned to the bed, but in
stead of putting on her stockings
first as usual, she donned the dress.
"Oh DEAR" she exclaimed discern
ing the mistake. Give forgotten
those stockingsv So squatting
down on the floor she drew on one
stocking and reached for the other,
but-"dear me, what's become of
that other stocking? Tn sure it
was here moment ago. Then
began a hurried search of the room;
behind the trunk, under the bed,
under the chiffonier and even un-
der the counterpart, but no stock
ing came to light. "Well, I can't
stop to hunt for it row," she
thought, SO going to the drawer
she took out another this time a
blue one) and quickly drawing it
on, she reached for her shoes.
"There! Flow in the world did
that happen?" she muttered grab
bling hairpin and jabbing fierce
ly at large knot in one of the
laces. "I'm sure it wasn't there
when I took them off, At last |
the knot yielded and after hasty |
glance in the mirror, she grabbed
her hat in one hand, her gloves in
the other and rushed out the front
door just as Towser, accompanied
by the aforesaid can, dashed madly
down the street, evidently bound
for China or some other country
on the opposite side of the earth
where cherubs do not exist. After
cautioning the boys against set
ting fire to the house or poking
beans up their noses, she hurried
down the street adjusting her hat
as she went
AS she neared the elevated sta
ton she heard the ringing of the
electric bell that announces the
of train for down town,
SO gathering up her skirts in both
hands she started on sprint to-
wards the station. The old apple
woman on the corner gazed after
the retreating figure wondering if
it was the style nowadays for soci-
ETY. folks to wear one blue and one
red stocking.
Meanwhile Mrs. Dale had dashed
into the station, slammed nickle
down at the ticket window, rushed
through the turnstile and arrived

Then came Maggie O'Rourke
and Mrs. Dale had about concluded
that she had solved the servant
question when she was informed by
Maggie that several of the police
men on the neighboring beats were
cousins of hers and insisted that
''if the kitchun loidy cudn't enture-
tain her kith an kin onct in a
whole, twas not the job fer the
loikes of her." This "onct in a
whole" came every night. Maggie
went.
No wonder Mrs. Dale was in a
disturbed state of mind as she sat
near window watching her "dear
boys" in the innocent pastime of
tying a tomato can to Towser's
tail. cts really shame that that
horrid Miss Spruceby couldn't get
along with those dear children"
she thought as. she arose in an
.swer to the mail carriers summons.
Going to the door she received
several letters, among which was
one from her brother Jack who
was then in Milwaukee, and hastily
tearing it open, she read:
"Dear Sis:-In your last letter
you asked me to keep my weather
eye open for a cook and [ have
done so, with the result that [ have
procured one with whom I think
you will be perfectly satisfied.
The lady has never been in large
city like Chicago, consequently is
not on to the ropes, so Mr.. Blum
ley (Fred's father) who is going
to Chicago on business, has kindly
offered to see that she gets through
all right. They will be down on
the steamer christopher Colum-
bus and will arrive at 3 p. M Wed
nesday. Meet them at the dock.
You will know Blumley as he is
bow-legged, has grey beard and
will most likely carry grip on
which are the initials A. [. B.
Lovingly, Jack"
"Oh, that dear dear jack" ex-
claimed Mrs. Dale as she replaced
the letter in the envelope. ''He's
always doing something for me,
but-my goodness, this is Wednes-
day and the lady will arrive at 3
o'clock hour from now! Whew,
I'll have to hurry!'
Rushing upstairs she removed
her house wrapper and proceeded
to wash her face and hands. II

soliloquized as she rubbed a lather
on her face. II hope she's-my |

at Mrs. Dale, 'lookee the lady witt

Dale's hand sought the rear of he
dress and there, hanging half il
and half out through the UNLOCKED
opening, was the missing red stock
ing.
Luckily there were no men or
the platform, but nevertheless Mrs
Dale's face became as red as the
stocking which was unceremoni
ously damned into her hand bag
just as another train hove in sight
A minute later and Mrs. Dale was
speeding down town.
At State and Lake Streets she
hurried from the train as the clock
on one OF the large dry goods stores
registered 8 o'clock. ooh, dear,
I'm too late," she groaned as she
hurried through the throng toward
the Rush Street bridge. She was
right. For once the large whale

BOYD DEMANDS
INVESTIGATION
COOPER SENDS TO HAWAII FOR
AFFIDAVITS IN SUPPORT OF
CHARGES AGAINST ENGINEER.

Robert n. Boyd has appealed to the
Republican Executive Committee for
an investigation of the charges made
against him by superintendent of Pub
lie Works Cooper, and the committee
will take up the matter as soon as the
evidence necessary for an inquiry into
the case has been received from Ha
wall. The principal accusations, as
stated in yesterdays Star, are in con-
nection with bills rendered for supplies,
which are alleged to have really repre-
scented purchase of refreshments.
AS a result of BOyd's efforts to Sc
cure a VindicatiOn, superintendent
Cooper has sent to Hawaii for affida-
Wits. 1t appears that the proofs against
Boyd are not at hand, and the former
road engineers demands for an investi-
cation has made it necessary to send
for the evidence. The vouchers and
affidaVits are expected to arrive by the
next Kinau when the matter will be
taken up in the Republican committee.
Boyd has had a number of con-
ferenCes with members of the commit
tee. He was valued party worker in
the last campaign and his associates
on the committee deplore the pilikia
that has arisen in connection with his
office. Boyd declares his innocence,
and the committee is holding the mat
ter in allegiance until the investigation
is had. In the event of the charges
not being proven, the committee will
vindicate the engineer, and express dis
approval of his dismissal.
superintendent Cooper has agreed to
furnish the facts to the committee, as
soon as they come. The Superinten-
dent has given the committee a state
ment of the accusations made against
Boyd, the principal one being as to a
deal in the district of Hamakua. 1t
is said that there is also evidence to be
secured on the island of Kauai.
The bill for $40 said to have been
made out for tacks and other supplies.

stated to have been made out as for

merchant read lumber, but the stuff

ments made to Cooper, and which he
proposes to support by the affidavits
