the man he appoints as special states
attorney is known to be an impartial
lawyer who will try to get at the
truth without being a partisan Of
Hoyne, Rinaker, Guinea or Haight.
The people will NOT have conf
dence in any investigation of Hoyne's
election by himself or an intimate
friend.
In this connection 1 would like to
know why Cook county grand juries
permit themselves to be controlled
by the states attorney in what they
shall investigate. l know of no
reason why the regular grand jury
should not have investigated the cleo
ton frauds themselves whether
Hoyne liked it or not. The states
attorney doesn't own a grand jury.
He is not it's master, but rather its
servant.
think it entirely proper and peril
nent for Judge Kersten to take into
consideration the important fact that
the application made to Judge Coop
er is not made by any faction of
the Democratic party, but by all of
the candidates who ran for states
attorney against Hoyne last year,
Rinaker, the Republican, Guinea
the Socialist, and Haight the Pro-
gressive. And it was Hoyne him
self, the beneficiary of election
frauds, if there were any, who made
the application to Judge Kersten.

You possess wonderful will power

you must be little careful of your

to f1attery, and / advise you to study
people more as to their true char

higher nature and give proper atten-
tion to the training OF your naturally
strong faculties. there is scarcely
any undertaking in which you can not
achieve splendid success. You have a
very loving nature and are not easily
made jealous. Your lucky days are
the 18th and 9th OF the month. De-
cember will be your best month for
the coming year. When you select a
husband. he should be a man Of strong
personality. who Is yet gentle and
kind
You will notice that most OF the
qualifications given might be applied
to almost any one. However, there is
a great deal in the way these things
are said. BY using proper gestures
and dropping the voice to impressive
intonations. you can make anything
you say seem wonderful Once said

Gilbert was glad that his wife en-
tered at this minute, for a discussion
Of Gloria's social future probably
would not bring out all sides to the
question without a woman being a
party to the conversation.

Mrs. Gilbert confessed Immediately,

other, and he said:
"You were a beautiful girl, Julia
"In tell you what" Mrs. Gilbert
went on, conscious of the compliment
but not DESTROYS Of herself making a
Comparison. Gloria Is a beautiful girl,
and what Is more, l can see that she
has a beautiful character. I'm so sorry
she has been away SO long"
What could l do, ma'am" asked
Kerr. "I couldn't take care OF her at
Locust Lawn"
Locust Lawn had been in Gilbert's
mind all the time, and he had waited
only to sound his wife before speak

denced in what she had just said, thai
he thought now was the proper time te
breach the subject.

we're" There were a number notable
by their absence, but there being a
large crowd present and she being a
stranger, Gloria did not know this
She was too busy with the men to
think of what girls we're present.
Truth to tell, 1t was a fairly repre-
sentative assemblage, drawn together
out Of regard for Judge and Mrs. Gil
bert and also by curiosity to see what
kind of girl Gloria Kerr was. II the
president of the Piper Coal company
had stopped the poker game at the
Belmont club the night before to tell
his experience there would have been
several young ladies among those at
the ball who did not lend the charm
Of their presence to that occasion.

she searched the line to find a Bel

to her thinking there was not n IN
the same class. As for Wright, his
search was over the night they had
met again In Belmont.
In their first dance, holding her
close as II to shield her from all the
world, he called to mind the day at
Versailles when together they had
wandered through the gardens. Then
he had repeated some verses from the
book he had given her on her birth
day. Now as they danced he wills
