both the scoring and standing guard.

The fight is now being conducted by practically every or- nization-commercia social and civic-in the city At the regular weekly luncheon of the Exchange club stirring addresses were deliv- cred by Gabe Jacobson, pr. l. W. Cooper and Mrs K. H. Hix, each de- claring new building was an abso- lute necessity if the work of the in stitution was to be carried on with any degree of satisfaction to sick and suffering humanity.
 MT. Jacobson took issue with Mayor John W. Parker and others, who had opposed the building of a new hospital on the grounds that if "only charity patients were treated there, as the law directs, there would be but little if any need for new and larger building" He said he did not believe there were any great number of patients cared for at the Matty Hersee who would not come under the head of charity. and these, he said, were to be found every where there is hospital
 He also took issue with those who oppose the new building on the ground Of economy declaring that a question of humanity should not be considered from financial stand point; if hospital is needed and am sure one is, then 1t should be of such character as to serve it's pur- pose in full"
 While the agitation for new hos rtal is in progress, the mayor and members of the city council, who have the power to inaugurate movement that would result in the building of new buildings' that of authorizing bond election, are standing pat on the recent order re- scinding their former action of call ing such an election. because. as Mayor Parker stated in opposing the bond issue, the present building is sufficient If used only for the treat rlnnf of charity patients.

The moment was embarrassing.
 Farrel Galt stood stock still, drink ing the picture that Natalie and young Danby made.
 The latter had withdrawn his hand clasp from the girl. Yet a definite at- mosphere of romance fingered.
 Galt was seething inwardly. But he decided it would be bad policy to show his anger.
 Ignoring the secretary, he address, ed himself exclusively to Natalie.
 Excuse me for bursting in in, this unconventional fashion, but the butler said that your uncle was indisposed, and that I'd find you in the library. As matter of fact, l really came to see Mir Ducane--"
 A queer little shiver passed through the girl. Farrel had actually come to beard the lioni in his den-to ask con- sent to their marriag uncle Frederick disliked him so!
 But his action was more straight forward and honorable than his tlrst first uggestion-that of d runaway match.
 She rose She made no attempt to bring the two young men together.
 Excuse me for a moment, Captain Danby," She moved towards the door. "Farrel, come into the drawing room. I'm sorry that my uncle isn't well enough to see you. You'll have to let me act as substitute. This for the benefit of Captain Danby who (she swiftly had decided) must not know the meaning of this visit.
 When the door had closed behind them, she stared wideeyed at her visitor.
 why have you come here? Tonight? :?

Both legs were fractured below the knee and he was unconscious and bleeding freely from a wound about six inches above the left knee. He died shortly after wards without regaining conscious
