A Hand CLASH.

1t was one o'clock. Blair called a
hanson and told the driver to take
him to the Carlton, and leaning back
in the vehicle he breathed long sigh.
He looked like his father, but be
didn't know it. He felt old. He was
man and tired one and free one,
and the sense of this liberty began to
refresh him like breeze over parched
sand. He thought over what he had
left for second, stopped longest in
plying Galorey, then went into the
Carlton restaurant to order some sup
per, for he began to feel the need OF
food He had not time to drink his
wine and partake of the cold pheasant
before he saw that opposite him the
two people who had taken their table
were Lefty Lane and Poniotowsky.
The woman's slender back was turned
to Blair, and his heart gave leap OF
pain at the sight Of the man with her,

The boy walked briskly back of the
scenes toward the little door, behind
which. as he tapped, he hoped with all
his heart to hear her voice bid him
come in. But there were other voices
in the room. He ratified the door knob
and Lefty Lane herself called to him
without opening the door:

can't see anyone tonight"
He had nothing to do but to go
to grind his heel as he turned-to
swear, deeply against Poniotowsky.

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS.

Save your pennies and send them to
the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have little
bank account of their own, even though
the initial deposit is the smallest possible
sum.
Children who commence an account on
penny, nickel, or dime, often grow
into capitalists later on.
The way to become a capitalist is to
commence now to save the pennies.

INDICT EX-mAYOR
ON CRAFT CHARGE
Bloomington Grand Jurors Re-
turn Bills Against Police
Chief and Denouncers.

Bloomington, Ill, Sept 2o.-McLean
countys grand jury gave Bloomington
a municipal sensation yesterday. II
returned true bills of Indictment
against Albert Moore, who recently re-
signed the mayoraity; Fred Lang,
chief OF police; John Hegarty, night
captain OF police, and Edward Hensel,
sergeant OF police. The defendants
were accused of commission OF duty
and malfeasancs in Office.
In addition to that action the jury
found indictments against gamblers
and proprietors Of gambling houses
and houses Of ill-repute, and also
against persons who own buildings in
which such dens existed. Many of
these property owners are prominent
citizens.
The report OF the grand jury was
the climax of an investigation Of mu-
nicipai conditions by two Chicago de-
tectives engaged by a local paper.
Rumors of municipal graft, of protec-
ton of gamblers on payment of money
ana OF prOIecliOu OI Immoral houses
led to the detectives investigation.
The detectives reported 10 the grand
jury and the indictments were re-
turned.
The grand jury, and the court, how
ever, went much further than was
/ generally expected. II was the first
/ time in the history of the city that
owners Of vice dens became involved
( in such writs.
/ The indictment of the police officers
means a shake-up in their department.
