TIE CHICAGO STRIKE.

With the beginning of the week the
Chicago strike situation hinged on the
result Of the referendum vote of the
striking teamsters on the terms Of set
tlenent offered by the Employers as
ISOLATION and accepted by their com
mlttee. The alternative was general
strike Of all union teamsters.
On the night of the 2Sd 1t was as
serted that everything was in line for
the calling off of the strike in Chicago,
only few formalities having to be OBJ
served to give validity to the terms
agreed upon by the strikers committee
and the representative of the EN-
ployers' association.
Day by day things grow quieter in
Chicago and the attitude of the striking
teamsters less belligerent. Some of tht
men are applying as individuals for
their old positions, in some cases with
success.

Tom will drive the canopy-top and you
will so with me in the phaeton"
Then the Hiltons know everything?"
He looked at her in humiliation.
"They know why could not come
with you this morning" she said, eva
sively.
| Ben sat down on the extreme end Of
the seat and wished he knew as much
as the Hitons just then But he would
be thankful that they did not know all.
At this juncture the trio came up be-
draggled and happy, carrying immense
wreaths of water lilies, and were ready
to go home,
1T has been such jolly day!" ex-
claimed Rose; strnging a fragrant
wreath on her arm and addressing
Millie.
"Yes; everybody is so independently
happy" answered Miss Radcliffe.
Ben Easton bit his lips and flushed
to the roots Of his hair Would he get
to the finish of this before 1t finished
him?
Fact" echoed Tom over Ben's head
i've been having fne time, too When
your aunt wanted the phaeton thought
we we're done for; but when you sent
Ben around, you let lLs all out, Miss Rad
cliffe"
There's always way out" put in
Ben, catching at straws and hoping he
was the son of propheS at least
But his remark must have sounded
extremely funny, for it was received
with a storm of applause. Tom went
SO far as to roll on the sward in his mer-
liment, asking the girls to give three
cheers for "the way out"
Rose shook her head warningly and
exclaimed 20, Tom. You've lust
missed mixing yourself With the remains
of custard Etf" and he needed the
warning In time to prevent the mix-up
and colony of ants which had inten-
tions on the aforesaid custard.
"Ben's a prophet" said he. soberly;
there is way out and it comes some
times by believing in your friends"
But Ben did not even smile.
When the shadows heightened and
everybody was getting everybody else's
dinner basket, the Hiltons filed up the
canopy-top with themselves and their
burden of lilies and rolled merrily home
ward. The phaeton followed with a
more sedate couple.
"Millie," said Ben, by and by, were
you sorrowng so because broke your
heart, dear?"
20, no, answered she, quietly Aunt
Minerva had a telegram yesterday that
Uncle Abner was dead and to come i'm
mediately. thought a great deal Of
Uncle Abner"
ooh! then you did not think of me?"
chagrined in spite of himself
20, no. thought you could take care
of yourself; you were so independent"
and she sighed complacently.
And Ben Easton knew that be had
come plump up against the finish, and
had missed his dignity
