The Question That Tormented
Madge.

AS my husbands lips sought mine
in long kiss of reconciliation there
came to me in flash of illumina-
tive understanding the realization
of what it had cost Dicky's stubborn
pride to come back to me after the
determined stand he had taken con-
corning my refusal to tell him the
reason for my emotion over the
newspaper the morning after Milly
Stcckbridge's death.

which would satisfy his wounded
vanity at my reticence and yet leave
untold the unpleasant details it was

l stirred in his arms, the clasp of
which fairly hurt me, so rough and
compelling was it, and put my lips
against his ear.
"Dicky, dear" I whispered softly,

FATE OF COUNTY
RECORDS RESTS
WITH GOVERNOR
Special Session Only Hope for
Restoration Of Court House
Mo Other Way to Get
Money.

Though four days have passed
since the consultation of county Of
fcials with Governor McKelvie and
Attorney General Davis in County
Attorney Shotwell's Office regarding
the calling of special session of the
legislature, no word has been re-
ceived regarding this contemplated
action.
A special session is considered i'm
perative to get funds to rebuild the
court house and restore the county
records, and county officials declare
they cannot understand the COVER
nor's delay in calling the legislature
together.
They are waiting in hourly hope
of word that the governor will call
the session, though at the confer
ence he did not seem to be inclined
to do so.
Only Way to Get Money.
"That is the only way to get the
money so badly needed" declared
Sophus Neble, chairman of the
board of county commissioners.
IF we don't get that money and
get it soon we will board up the
ruined Offices and let the court house
stand as it is until the money is on
hand. We can't take chances.
"We took $4,000 temporarily
from the general fund That is all
we can get. 1t is already nearly
used up just in getting temporary
windows put in the court house and
the absolutely necessary work done.
IL believe, from all l have heard,
that it will cost from $2500O0 to
100000 just to restore the burned
county records. There is no way to
supply this money except by special
act OF the legislature.
Election Would Fail.
Mr.. Neble declared that if the
proposition for 100000 bonds to
restore the court house and records
were submitted to the vote of the
people it would likely fail to carry.
AT the special election, Novem-
Der d." he said, "the people will be
asked to vote $5,000,00O school
bonds, 100000 sewer bonds and
100000 Jail bonds. If you add
100000 or more bonds for re-
building the court house. especially
with the spirit that is abroad now.
| have serious doubts whether it
would be carried. Besides, the peo-
pie have Just voted 100000 high
way improvement bonds for the

ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
Revelations of Wife

"Of course he knows you," I re-
turned, indignation in my voice at
this implied doubt of our year-old
baby's metal superoritv.
Dicky laughed, his old lazy, teas
ing laugh, which told me that
whatever tension had been in our
interview was gone. I settled my
hat sedately, tucked into place some
stray strands of hair.
"A Bit rumpled, aren't you"
Dicky said slyly. Never mind, Lii
won't care"
The mention of one of my guests
made me think bit apprehensively

preston of feeling upon my part
