When met Sir Edmu nd in the morn

agreed with me to alter the clause in the
agreement, though we had not yet de-
eided in what manner.
81 am glad to hear it, he said; "any-
thing will be better than that agreement
as it stands"
Edith came down late to breakfast.
She looked pale and said she had over
slept herself.
''For the first time in your life, l be-
lieve," said Sir Edmund. "You did not
fall asleep quite so readily as usual
hey?" he asked, smiling.
81 could not Sleep" she answered, but
so gravely that i saw it was not from the
cause the baronet implied-the love that
had kept me awake; and then she added,

We looked at her in establishment and
anxiety.
81 will tell you all about it," she con-
tinued, "because you may be able to ex-
plain what perplexes me, and that will be
a great relief"
She paused, as if to collect her thoughts
and then said:

1T is impossible, if in holding to the

The GREAT HESPER.
BY FRANK BARRETT.

She buried her burning face in her
fathers shoulder; she could neither say
yes or no.
at is question that should not be de-
cided hastily" the barOnet continued;
stake time, my dear. Meanwhile, see
no reason for your leaving the house, he
added, addressing me.
"Unless-" faltered.
"Unless Edith wishes it," the baronet
: said, helping me out. ''True. Shall you
feel more at ease, dear, if Mr.. Thorne
goes away-for a certain time, say? Shall
he go?'
Still screening her face, Edith shook
her head, and then l knew that l had
won treasure greater than the Hesper
diamond.
In the afternoon of the Goth, Sir Ed
mund said:
II have been looking at your engage
ment, Bernard, from practical point of
view, and fact occurs to me that, at
such time as this, would. probably es-
cape you. That agreement of yours
must be altered. You will see that, for
Edith's sake, what l call the tontine
clause-a clause comforting upon the sur
vivor a deceased partners share in the
Great Hesper-should be abrogated. 1t
entails risk which she must not be ex-
posed to-you understand me!"
understood what he said perfectly,
and agreed with him that the clause
must be altered.
Consult with your partners" he said,
''as to what change is advisable. l ex-
pect my lawyer here on the Gath, and he
can then draw up legal agreement in
accordance with our general wish"
l took the Judge into Van Hoeck's
room that night, and there told him of
my engagement to Miss Lascelles. Van
Hoeck was visibly alarmed when he
heard this; and when l went on to say
that sir Edmund wished the clause al
tered by his lawyer on the Gath, he said
quickly, in low voice:
"The crafty old foxl What does he
mean by that?'
Ellis meaning is obvious enough" /
replied; ''if | marry Miss Lascelles, and
die, she will be dispossessed of my share
in the diamond. | can leave her only a
legacy of debt"
Eyes, end that amt all on it" said the
Judge, dragging his wiry chin-tuft
through his hand and bending his brow.
THAT amt all by lump. We're play
ing with marked card in the pack-a
card as might tempt eer one on us to
foul play"
"What on earth do you mean? Speak
plainly if you can," said Van Hoeck, in
angry Impotence.
"Well, l mean this ERE" answered the
Judge, with slow impressiveness, that
if one Of my pardners wasn't a gentle
man, and t'other wasn't helpless blind,
I'm burned if I'd go to bed without a
six-shooter under my piller, and my fin
ger on the trigger. / don't allude to one
any more'n another, but well just take
Israel's word for gospel, that everyone
is a thief if you give him a chance of
thievin'; end, at that rate, I'm just as
likely as not to murder my two pardners,
and git the whole of that diamond to
myself. Consequently, you will allow
that the squire has double reason for
wantin' that agreement altered; for it
amt only the money he's got to secure
on to his daughter, but her husbin's life
likewise. Time enough for the young
lady to be wilder in the nat'ral order
of things in general"

Railroad Changes.

The new railroad division, which has
its west end at Bozeman will create a
great many changes in the employees
and other ways. Side tracks will have
to be laid here and between Bozeman
anb Belgrade and six large engines will
be kept here all the time, two Of which
arrived last Thursday. John Devin who
was in charge of this section has been
relieved and another man put in his
place. Roadmaster Scofeld will have
charge of this division while Roadmas
ter Hogan will only have charge of his
old division west of Gallatin and has
already taken up his residence at Hele-
ma. A number of men will be stationed
here and the change railroad men seem
to think will be Of great advantage to
BJzeman and may result in having the
car shops erected here

Work Resumed.

Timberline is once more busy hive
of workers. On Monday, between thirty
and forty men were put to work in the
mines getting out coal, and within a
month over one hundred will be en-
ployed. For one month, preparations
have been going forward for the work
now in hand, and every facility for the
mining of coal has been provided under
the superintendency of Jack Anderson,
whom Mr.. Hoffman has selected to OPP
crate the mines. Considerable delay
was caused by the difficulty of getting
ties for the extension of the railroad
leading to the upper mine, which was
abs ndoned by the Northern Pacific Coal
Company, and now found to be one OF
the best mines of the group. The ties
some three thousand in number, have
been procured, and the railroad is now
ready for business. The coal camps
| may come and coal camps may go, bul
Timberline will go on forever. Mr.
Hoffman has inangurated great enter
prise, and he deserves the praise of this
whole community, which will be bene
