is connected with the City Department
Of Chicago, took a fatherly interest In
his youthful companions and put us

us some pointers how to guard against

not wonder that his daughters should
possess such ability. The Cosmopolitan

the little Touts inherited" He has Il
voice which sounds very much like Ca
