The facts of the affair have not been given out as yet but t is felt that the building will be two stories and will possibly contain a room for the Commissioners Office.
 Ne have long felt the need of some new government buildings to ,ake the place of the old deeayed court house, which IS sore eye to Us all, setting on heprettiest sight in the town, the impression of the old buildings are Very bad, and are the comments of all our visitors who walk through the reserve. With the old buildings torn down and a new modern one set in the center of the beautiful lawn which the marshal's office has taken such care to build up. the effect of the sight can be readily guessed We heard it contended while speaking of this subject that one prominent man of the town was not in favor of destroying these buildings but preserving them as a memento ot the past, we cannot agree with him for we want to see Wrangell built

per. She wondered what Mrs Wilson
would be like and if X would be hard
to talk to her.
"Oh, there they are" Mr.. Wilson's
face lit up. "Mr Curtis. this is Mrs.
Wilson. and Mrs. Wilson's sister
Mrs. Taylor. Mrs Curtis"
Hclen's formal smile stiffened into
lines of horror as she found herself
being introduced to the woman who
had sat back of her!
Just what she said or what Mrs.
Wilson said she did not know. Her
stupehed brain held but one thought
they must not go to this supper!
Warren was quite unconscious. He
had not seen the woman who had sat
back of them. and he was now laugh
ing and talking easily.
What could she do? How could
she tell him: AS they pushed out with
the crowd, she managed to pull him
aside and whispered gaspingly:
"She-Mrs. Wilson-was that wom-
an back of us! Get out OF the supper
somehow! You must-even if you
have to"
But the Wilson's were beside them
again, and she could say no more
Outside Mr.. Wilson motioned to their
waiting car with hospitable: well,
where shall we go? Been to Maxim's
lately"
A moment of painful embarrass-
ment. The faces of Mrs. Wilson and
her sister had assumed expressions OF

we're all tired enough to 60 straight

Mr.. Wilson looked puzzled, but did
not further insist. A disconcerting
pause; then every one murmured a
constrained good night.
In grim silence Warren bundled
Helen into the first unengaged taxi.
She sank into the corner, her face
buried in her hands.

to be conscious OF what she saw. She
was a-tingle with concentrated ha-
tired for the woman back of her.

and ill-bred at a benefit" She tried
to say it loud enough for the woman
to hear.

her companion about some people
being so common.

Every second Helen was conscious
of the hateful knees, which now bored
into her with a triumphant, gloating
hostility. Every time she leaned back
they gave her a vicious dig. Her
throat ached with rage. The primitive
fighting instinct was aroused.
Unseeingly she gazed at the ring.
Why could she not turn and demand

you to take your feet off my seat"
She rehearsed this speech, but some

She must not let it spoil her even
