The wax lady saw 1t ali. S
 The wax isAy stood in a bread show window of Dexter avenue wearing a costly set of Russian sables. Her hands were gloved, the fingers delicately csfrv- ed. She had an aristocratic cir aito- gether frraproaehable. aN
 The wax lady noticed the couple when they stopped at the door of the store. and waited for the elders to finish tkeir shopping. Tho girl wore a light cio4k and a sort of cap which was utterly inadequate for it's task of confining the wind blown hair. The hair was HaAt brown and feathery. It was quite pretty. It seemed to add brilliance t0 the bright dark eyes that shone out rem under It's fiuffinsss. The red tips, as she talked. formed into the happy, nervous smile that bespeaks the aroused tenderness of girl or woman. she was young, and the story of youth and of something greater was in her face.

 Then quickly she ran her hand far down into the capacious overcoat pocket the hand that held the box.
 And he fer the once. al least, the -taeky fellow, did the right thing. The invad- ing hand, with it's eoutsntss was held strong and firmly by the hand that had been in the sole possession of the pocket.
 Her whispered Don't was faint and weak For a full half minute the well come interloper was held fast.
 The wax lady could almost see the in- teriocked fingers ih the snug pocket. The hand was finally freed and she stepped back into the light. her cheeks redder. her smile happier, her fluffy hair softer and her eyes fairly aoiane. His nonchalant pose had fallen away and he stood erect quite happy and quite foolish.
 The elders came out and he and she fen in sedateiy behind them. He stole a look at her. Emboldened by her down. cast eyes, he stepped to her side and took her arm. Together they went down the street with no word between them. One could have sworn the wax lady winked. It was very like a wink.

 Almost every business building of any account in the town is now lighted up with electric lights, and the utmost satisfaction is ex- pressed everywhere owing to the clearness and good quality of the light. A notable exception to the rule, however, and one that is very conspicuous, is the district court house, where the atmosphere is strongly impregnated with that old familiar smell of kerosene. The janitOr, however, is very courteous and points out to visitors the lOca- ton of the lighted hanging-lamps at night, so they that will not bump their heads against them. Mir. Fred. Edmons, one of the passengers who arrived on the Shelikoff Monday evening, had a rather hard trip and an experience he will remember some time, in his endeavOr to reach Valdez. He was one of the nineteen passengers who left Teller on the ill-fated schooner Lettie, wrecked at Her. rington bay. They left Teller Oct. 1, for Valdez and during a severe gale were blown ashore. They came overland from Harrington bay to Portage bay, and from Portage bay to Unga in a small dory. On the previous trip of the Shelikoff, she brought down part of the Lettie's passengers and on this trip brought nine, among them being Mir. Edmons. Mir.
