The lady raised her eyebrows in
a strange sort of way What, an
other?" she asked.
Il don't know what you mean"
said Kinsbitter-and he really did

He drew the cheval glass in his bed

cussed by some of the labor union offi-

that four Chicago men of large means
have been in consultation and have Of
fered to establish a cooperative cart

be offered to union teamsters. This
plan, it is held, would minimize the
probability of strikes.
