For a moment 1 realized that love

Jim's face darkened. In tense
silence I waited for his answer.

to Stanley in the morning." de.

LONDON, November 20.--Only of
Ramsay MacDonald's predecessors
now living have advised the dissolu-
tion of Parliam ent-Mr. Asquith, who
has done SO twice; Mr.. Lloyd George,
under whose auspices an appeal to
the country was made in December,
1918. and Mr.. Baldwin, who took and
lost q gamblers chance last year.
Both Lord Rosebery in 1895 and
Earl Balfour in 1905 resigned, and
left their opponents to advise a disso-
lutlon, much as Lloyd George did in
1922.
Gladstone, in his long parliamen-
tary career, was responsible for only
two dissolutions. those of 1874 and
1885, but the late Marquis OF Sails
bury held the reins of Office during
four dissolutions.
