Queer
Miss fgerton
She Was Unintellisible 10 the
By EMMA MOREHOUSE
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation. 1911.

Miss Marcia EgertOn was a peculiar
girl. She seldom did anything as any
one else would do it and was always
doing things in a way that no one else
would think of doing them. 1t is the
purpose of this story to chronicle the
roundabout way she acted in a mat
ter that concerned herself and several
other people.
In the first place, Miss Egerton,
who vas an orphan, inherited a large
estate and came into possession Of
it when she was eighteen years old.
The next most important thing about
her was an intimate friend. Before
her mothers death, when she was but
twelve years old, she had conceived a
violent affection for Agnes Hart, who
was badly named, because she was not
possessed Of Il heart at all. Marcia's
mother opposed the intimacy and when
her daughter was sixteen years old
sent her off to school with no other
purpose than to get her away from Ag-
mes, but without avail. The two
girls kept up an almost daily CORE
spondence during the whole period of
their separation and on Marcia's re-
turn were more intimate than before.
Mrs. Egerton died when Marcia was
twenty, leaving her daughter her own
mistress and in possession Of a large
property. She took her friend Agnes
to live with her and lavished upon her
everything a girl could desire. Several
young men. each Of whom would have
liked to win Marcia either for herself
or her fortune, declared that they were
unable to separate her long enough
from her girl friend to do so. And it
was facetiously remarked that any one
who married Miss Egerton must have
two wives.
Marcia became interested in a young
man-Edwin Bond-who found more
opportunity to court than he awaited
himself of. He admired Marcia; but,
having no fortune himself, he objected
to being tied to a woman who possess
ed one. He was n Of those youns
men who feel the Zest of making ;
place for themselves in the world anG
knew that to do this he must be forced
IN by a powerful stimulus, for the
man who marries a fortune is provid
ed for, and he pays the price, which is

Post Signs Against Dumping.

AS a preliminary step to a campaign
against dumping Of trash about Dallas,
Tex. twenty-five signs were ordered
painted to be posted up at places where
complaint of dumping is being made.
Members Of the board of commission
ers suggested that a few prosecutions
might put an end to the matter, but
past experience showed it difficult to
secure a conviction. as the offenders
secured dismissal on the plea that they
did not know the dumping was pro-
hibited. The signs will bear a warning
Of the twenty-five dollar penalty pro-
Yided.

American Girls Who
Will Attend Coronation

beautiful daughters of Michael Grace
of New York.
She is also a niece of William r.
Grace, former mayor of New York
city. The Earl of Donoughmore was
not an idler, and had liking for po-
litical power. He worked hard as a
member of the house of lords, and at
one time was under secretary of war
He also holds the title of Viscount
Hutchinson and is thought to have 4
promising career before him.
Undoubtedly the Countess of GRAY
en- will figure prominently during the
coming coronation season. She was
Cornelia, daughter of Bradley Mar
tin, and April 1S, 1893, carried her
dowry to William George Robert
Craven, Earl of Craven, Viscount Uf-
fngtop and Baron Craven. The earl
and his bride spent much of their
honeymoon in watching the repairs
on the picturesque Combe Abbey in
Coventry. It needed going over, hav
ing been built In 1850.
The Countess Of STAFFORD is anoth-
er American girl who is entitled to
take high rank in the coronation pro
cession. The countess was the widow
Of Samuel Colgate before her second
marriage. Her third wedding was
with Martyr T. Kennard, who has no
standing at court. The countess is a
close personal friend of the dowager
queen, and despite her third matri-
monial venture retains the social pres
tige which her second marriage gave
her.

Roxborough must not be overlooked.
She was May Goelet, daughter Of Mrs.

duke November 10, 1903 Henry John
lines is the dukes proper name, and
he also carries the titles of Marquis
of Bowman and Cessford, Earl of Kel-
so, Viscount Broxmouth and Earl In
mes. Theirs has been a happy mar
riage, and both the duke and duchess
stand we'll at court, being especially
popular with King George. The dukes
estate is an old one. His castle, one
of the finest in Scotland, was built in
1881
There is little doubt that no more
beautiful American girl will be found
in the ranks of American hostesses
this summer in London than Margar-
eta Drexel, the charming bride of
Viscount Maidstone.
While her husband is not of the
peerage, he is the heir of the thir-
teenth Earl of Winchelsea and of the
Earl of Nottingham, of the Baron
Finch, and hereditary Lord of the Roy
al Manor of Wye. The viscount has
reputation for industry, having been
employed in London, both in and out
of season. At present the young cou-
pie live with Mr.. and Mrs. Drexel.
According to the marriage agreement
they will receive a growing income OF
5000 a year for each year Of the

THE LORINER SCANDAL.
What Power Protected Hines. the
Man Behind the Scenes


For more than a year during the
Lortmer controversy. the name of
Hines had been the overshadowine
one In connection with every grand
jury investigation, every trial in the
courts, every inquiry by legislatures
or their agents. Hines had frankly
gone to Washington to take charge
of the Lorimer lobby when Lorimer's
seat was in controversy Hines had
been talked about in committee
rooms and grand jury rooms and
prosecuting attorneys offices Week
after week, Hines had been pointed
out in the galleries of the senate at
Washington and in the cafes of the
capital city, as the real man behind
the scenes, the maker of Lorimer,
the financier of the Chicago boss :
senatorial ambitions Yet, until he
was summoned before the Helm COM
mittee, Hines had never been called
upon by any authority to tell what
he knew, He had never been suppoe-
naed or placed under oath in re-
gard to the matter.
Why? What mysterious protecting
power made this man immune? Did
Edward Hines enjoy special immuni-
~ because he was rich, and because
he was associated with other men of
great wealth and large business in
tresets? Munsey's Magazine
