"Can YOU hold on minute longer,

"Can you hold on a minute longer, Keithp Somebody's coming
 That somebody was Archie Hem dricks. He had been near enough to hear Irma's first cry of distress and he was coming now with furious speed. Yet the seconds seemed like hours to the waiting pair.
 Archie took in the situation at glance. Without stopping to say a word, but shouting: Hang on" he sped to the bank and landed, skates and all, at the nearest fence.
 It was the work of an instant to tear off two long boards and return to the river. He went as near as he dared to Irma.
 "The ice won't hold me there," he shouted. "Take these boards and lay them in front of Keith; then pull him up."
 He slid the boards across the ice to her. She did as directed.
 Cheerea by Archie's words and aided by Irma and the faithful boa, Keith crawled forth more dead than alive.
 It did not take long to get him away from the air-hole, and between Irma and Archie he was conveyed quickly to the pond, where there were plenty of wraps to cover him. In spite of Keith's protestations that he was ''all right" ard ''only little moist" he was bundled off home, looking more like mummy than a human being.
 The excitement of the day had eliminated with Keith's adventure. Archie and Irma stood talking to- gether
 ''Irma, how did it happen you and Keith got so far away? Didn't either of you think of the danger?"
 "Oh, Archie, he was telling me all about his ladylove-there! I've let out a secset-but I know you'll never breathe word of it, will you? Be- cause he asked me if I could keep a secret and l told him I thought could. So I was asking him questions and guess we didn't notice where we were. And, oh, Archie! if you hadn't come when you did, just know Keith would have drowned"
 ''Oh, you would never have allowed him to sink before your eyes. But I'm glad it was no worse"
 "So am I, but you haven't skated with me any to-day, Archie"
 Well, it's not too late yet. We can take turn around the pond before dinner time, guess"
 And off they went. They knew that Keith was we'll cared for, yet neither spoke for few moments. Suddenly Archie said:
 "Irma, secret is no good unless it's divided. is it?"
 "I never heard one that was," said the pretty girl, looking up at him.
 Well, I'm going to divide mine with you--one I've been keeping even closer than Keith kept his, for I have kept it entirely to myself. Do you want to hear it?"
 "Yes, Archie"
 Ut is this: am in love-"
 Irma did not reply. She merely looked away.
 Do you care to know the young lady's name?"
 Irma nodded.
 "Well, it is-Irma Dayton"
 Irma leaned on his arm without re- serve. Archie looked down at her.
 "Now, are you going to rescue me, too, on this eventful day? Yes or no?'
 "Yes, Archie."
 Nobody was near them. Archie kissed the happy face turned up to his as he said:

Marysville. old Sol had scarcely be- gun his daily migration toward the west ere q number of schoolboys had gathered at the millpond to see if the Ice was strong enough for skating. To their great delight it proved to be very firm.
 My, won't it be fun, boys?" said Hal Anderson, as he took a long slide, both arms extended.
 "Wish l had my skates here now" said Jack Dayton. "Td go without breakfast"
 "Aw, no, you wouldn't, Jack You miss anything to eat" said another boy.
 'Well, I'd make it up at Thanksgiv- Ing dinner, if did," said Jack, gradu- ally. Anyhow, I'm coming down right after breakfast, and if you fel- lows will all come, too, we'll have game of prison goal What do you say?"
 We'll be here," was the universal reply, and away went the boys to eat breakfast and spread the good news that there was skating on the pond.
 Jack imparted the news at the breakfast table, whereat his sister Irma, aged eighteen and very pretty, clapped her hands and exclaimed:
 ''Oh, jollyl I'm so glad I had my skates sharpened last week. Every body will be out, either skating or looking on, and we'll all come hohe .,,;+I e,,ob o,roatitasi I i,ot lrno,u that Jack will eat all that chicken pie that made"
 "Ill leave a piece of the crust for you, Irma," said Jack. ''I'm going down to the pond right after break fast. When can you come?"
 ''Oh, I suppose I'll have to go to church and help sustain the family reputation, Jack Dayton. Of course fourteen-year old boys don't know any thing about such responsibilities But I wonder if could carry my skates to church with me2 guess I can hide them under my cloak"
 "Or put 'em on and skate up the aisle with 'em," Jack irreverently sug- tgested. Irma deigned not to notice this fling, but continued:
 "I do hope Mir. Miller will preach dreadfully short sermon. That will be one thing to be thankful for"
 Well, you'd better skip church and come out for a game with the boys"
 "Mr Dayton, I'm a young lady, if you please, and don't play with little boys," replied Irma, with Q mock bow.
 "Oh! Ahl Has Mir. Archibald Hen dricks been putting such notions into your head?"
 ''No, he hasn't" she responded, with a sudden blush, and to hide her con fusion she jumped up and ran into the kitchen.
 Skates over his shoulder, Jack went . out the door with an Indian war whoop and was soon hard at play q with his comrades on the pond.
 The village choir that day outdid it. . self upon the anthem, which in length and volume surpassed even the utmost anticipations of the congregation. The songsters left small margin for the sermon, which was of moderate length only.
 Irma's thoughts were busy with other subjects than Bible texts, how ever. She had noticed Archie Hen driclts come in and take seat on the other side of the church, and she felt that he was watching her. Just in front of her sat Keith Walters and his mother Keith had been away to col lege. He was a fine, manly fellow, and Q great favorite.

The windy burg of Livingston is ap
parently doing its best to earn the gen
eral reputation of being the toughest
and most lawless town in Montan. and
the following act, detailed IN a special to
the Anaconda Standard, apparently caps
the climax. The Turner boy is well
known here, and was the first child born
in Miles City:
L~IyINGsTo, .|ry 22.-About l2o'clock

citizens took Eugene Turner. a seven

him to acknowledge that he robbed the

he did with the money, he said he gave

sockets he pleaded for his life. and

denied my knowledge of the affair.

becoming convinced that the Turner
lad had lied about it. the mob then es-
corted Williams back To his room and
ordered him to stay there till they called
for HIM. What the mob did with Tur-
ner is not known. The boy has not been
seen since.
Williams is an honest, hard -working
man, and proposes to swear out warrants
for the woulI be vigilantes, whom he
says he knows. The pseudo lynching is
denounced in no measured terms as an
outrage.
