While Ladysmith is spending that
$4,000 on roads down that way, the
town of Hubbard is going to get
real busy this spring on the question
of bonding the town for the purpose
Of improving this country and giving
Crane it's first real chance to grow
into a little prosperous city also. or
course Ladysmith has known for
long time that it takes good roads to
make a good town, and it takes good
roads to induce settlers to move in
to the new countries. Northern WIS
consin has good roads but there is
chance for a great Improvement in
our country by having a good road
from Ladysmith north through Crane,
hurry. Exeland and towns all along
the line north to the twin ports on
the lakes. With good road through
on this line, travel will increase
fifty per cent and the country Will
settle at the same rate. Heretofore
the bond question has been held at
arms length by some of our citizens
on account of fear of high taxes, but
we believe most of the settlers now
understand the proposition and will
be in favor of lettering the roads
and increasing the value of their
property

countless times she must wear it-and
always with distaste For she never
wore with comfort thing that she
disliked

Boyd, still loudly protesting.
"Oh, how unfair!" began Helen
TREMENDOUSLY. "Why-surely, r.

woman. Miss Thomas'll be here in a

I've come in to show you the skirt,
with lofty scorn. You can see it's a
mile too long for you. Now will you
let me try on the coat?"
The door was slightly ajar, and just
outside stood Mr.. Carter with an
amused grin. The situation Of two
women fighting for the same suit, one
wearing the coat and the other the
skirt, was no doubt most amusing. But
at that moment Helen failed to see in
it any element of humor.
Now, madam, that I've let you see
the skirt, will you kindly let me try
On the coat?" the woman repeated
haughily.
II shall keep the coat until we see
what the buyer says" flared Helen,
furious at this arrogant, presumptious
intrusion.
The woman, now livid with rage,
looked as though she would take the
coat by force. But she contented her
self with a sneering, insolent remark
about some people who are SO ILL
bred" and flounced haughtily out.

door was pushed open by tired, frail,

only listened. Then she turned to

Boyd led the way triumphantly.
Again Helen was left alone, a chok-
ing sense of thwarted Indignation in
her throat She would not get the
suit. Everybody always took advant-
age of her. She could never hold her
own. ....
And endless wait; then Miss Walker
rushed in with triumphant:

coat ticket. That's what decided it!

she says her customer had the skirt

and again she darted out.
This element of uncertainty greatly
enhanced the desirability of the suit
and with feminine obstinacy Helen de
termined to have 1t. The door now
swung open to admit a stout blonde
assertive looking saleswoman.

protest. Her customer had the prior
right to the suit. She had seen it on
the figure and the stock girl had just

much less assertive, Helen felt that
she must help her out or she would
lose the suit.

joyfully. here's the skirt now" as Mr.
Carter handed it in.
1t was with a sense OF elation, OF
thrilled exultancy, that later Helen
left the shop. For once she had tri-
umphed. For once she had held her
own and won out.
Then she realized that in her excite.
ment she had not even tried on the
skirt, but since it was just a plain
model it could not be far wrong.
They had promised to send it "spe-
cial." 1t would come in time for her
to try it on before dinner: The rest
of the afternoon she spent in vainly
striving to recall just how the skirt
was made.

had not been delivered. Warren came
home early, and in high spirits. Evil
IDENTIFY the days business had been
good
They were almost through dinner
when Emma brought in the large box
marked special" Dropping her nap
kin, Helen started up with an ex-
cited, "Oh, it's my suit! I'm wild to
see it,"
See here. the suit can wait-you
finish your dinner"
But already Helen had it out of the
box and was trying on the coat.
wait, dear, I'll put on the whole
thing-you can tell so much better"
and gathering up the package she ran
into her room.
But her heart sank as she slipped on
the skirt. 1t was made with yoke,
style she never liked, for the line
across the hips took from her height.
And the coat-somehow it did not look
quite the same! But then she had had
on her hat-perhaps that made some
difference.
Anxious for Warren's opinion, she
ran back to the dining room. AS she
turned slowly around before him, he
viewed the suit In stolid Silence.

two of you"
ooh no, it's just the skirt that's too
long-and the sleeves"
"All right, If you're satisfied. You're
the one that's got to wear it.
But Helen was not satisfied. She
had Emma leave her dishes to pin up
the skirt. Then she spent the next
hour viewing it in the various mirrors
her discomfort growing as she found
new faults.
Take it back if you don't like it,
grOwled Warren, exasperated by her
constant appeals as to what he thought
of this or that alienation.
'Oh, l can't ask them to take this
back" flushing.
'Why not! You're not so blamed
scrupulous about firing things back"
"Oh, but this is different-another
woman wanted the suit! Oh, they had
a time! They had to send for the
floorwalker and the buyer" And
then came the story with all it's de-
tails.
That's RIGHT" Warren threw back
his head and roared. "Ha--ha, I'd
have given farm to see you two
women scrapping. Butted right in
