They all climbed into the boat
which was to take them to the
Stewart cottage, and then Hugh
asked quietly:
What did you tell Rosy about
me, Kathryn"
Kathryn's face grew a little
tedder than it had been since she
first saw Hugh with her husband,
but she said stoutly:
81 just told her you were crazy
about a typewriter. l think you
ought to be ashamed of yourself,
Hugh"
Hugh and Richard looked at
each other, and then burst into
a roar of laughter, while the two
girls looked furious.

''but it is a machine, not a girl.
I'm going to have the agency for
it, and that is one reason I can
think of getting married at this
time"
Richard, and Kathryn effaced
themselves as soon as their guests
reached land, and Rosy made up
for her willingness to believe evil,
although she did ask meekly after
a time:
''Who was that I saw you with

THAT SUBWAY DREAM
The chances are that Chicago
won't have subways for years to
come; certainly not so long as a
political subway commission
hangs onto a subway scheme that
means spending several hundred
millions of the people'semoney to
haul everybody to the loop stores
and keep on boosting the price of
property in the loop.
In the meantime something
ought to be done to improve SER
vice on the street railway lines
we already have, and with view
to hauling people where they
want to go without hauling
everybody through the loop.
Chicago has plenty of room to
grow, north, south and west,
without growing up IN the air IN
a restricted loop district.
And politicians might as well
get it into their heads that the
people are not going to vote to
tax. themselves several hundred
millions for a subway system
planned to hold this city down to
a business territory only few
blocks square.
Get busy and give the people
good service on the railways we
have. If the loop wants
a loop subway, let the loop pay
for it.

TRY CASE WITH
ELEVEN JURORS
RUN SHORT OF JURYMEN IN PRE-,
PAIRING FOR THING SUIT
MOTION SUSTAINED.

With but eleven trial Jurors in the
box, the case of w. McKenna against
George N. Evans is being heard today
in the district court before Judge G..
w. vermilion. The action is one in
which the plaintiff seeks to recover
$4,000 alleged owing on work done for
the defendant whose farm was tiled
by the plaintiff. When the Jurors
were drawn yesterday, the venire was
exhausted before the twelfth man was
secured and by agreement OF counsel
the case was begun with one juror
short of the regular number.
The court yesterday sustained In
part the motion to retax costs in the
divorce case of Blanche Horne against
William G. Horne. The divorce was
granted week ago and the sustained
portion of the motion to retax costs
referred to one days attendance of q
witness and two days for the court re-
porter. Both sides take exceptions to
the ruling. The damage case of
James Headly by his next friend vs..
E. e. Barton, was dismissed by Cor
NTH Headly, the next friend In the
petition. The case was brought on ac-
count of James Headly being struck
by DR.. Barton's auto and injured some
time ago. -."

end that they were the prints Of the
