There seems to have been a hitch
somewhere she answered.
He stepped cut Of the sleigh AMI
looked over his shoulde. at her in a
startled way. Could she mean any
thing: Was this encouragement? Oh,
90. 1t was too soon. TOO soon. and
he had been in love two years!) He

Then began the process Of ne.ving
himself to the avowal. He ground
his knees together until the bones
ached. His breathing was feverish.
"Mum- Miidewel i mean Mil

never called her Mildred before. He
had never called her Mildewed, either,
but that vas accidental. and he hoped
that she had not noticed the slip.

importance to say to You
Did he imagine it, or did she nestle
closer to him. He must have been
mistaken, and to show that he was
quite sure he edged away from her as
much as the somewhat narrow con-
fines of the sleigh would allow.
"What do you wish - say, Nv.
Phillips?"
"Mister" Phillips. All, then she
was offended. To be sure she had al
ways called him that. but after his
last remark it must have an added
significance.
"I-er--do you like sleigh riding?"
"Whv, of course, or else [ wouldn't

Did she mean that as Il slap at him?
Was it only for the ride and not for

he could never make anavowal of love

Neihart VIII Entertain.

The North Montana Methodist
conference will hold its sessions at
Neihart next year. In the fight for
place Havre and Fort Benton were
both competing for the honor of en-
tertaining the delegates in 1900.
Havre withdrew in favor of Fort
Benton, and for a time it looked
scaly for the chances of Neihart.
But when a vote was called Neihart
won out by a handsome majority
This is the first annual conference to
be be called at Neihart, and when
the company of delegates commence
to assemble the people of Neihart
will have a show to demonstrate
their hospitality and power of en-
tertainment. 1t is a mark of dis.
tinguished honor for this place, ano
the people will feel justly proud Of
it. The conference will be hello
probably in August of next year.

C~oncentrator Notes.

a. Depew of Great Falls, the con-
tracing carpenter for the erection
of the concentration, came in Mon
day to prepare the way for com
mencement of his work. He
brought with him Joe Burkart and
Fred Smith who will assist in the
work. Two carloads of lumber are
already on the ground, and on Mon
day the work of framing will begin.
Mr.. Depew returned to the Falls by
Thursdays train.
The stone masons are almost
through with the foundation of the
big Diamond r mill. Seven or
eight immense walls containing al
together between 500 and 900 perch
of stone have been raised on the
t%erraced hillside. From the sight of
these walls one can begin to gain
some conception of the size of the
building DOR to be raised.
The ditch and fume bed are fin
ished and a part of the lumber is on
the ground for the building of the
lume. This will begin in a few
days and Pat Donlan of Great Falls
will have charge Of the work.
L. S. Mcclure and Ira Myers OF
the Diamond R company were in
here on Monday departing again on
Tuesday morning. Maj. e. L.
Barnes and Gust A. Ovelstrom have
charge of everything in the absence
Of the superintendent.

Francis Marion, not the general of
the famous ragged regiment, but a
worthy namesake, and just as patri-
otic, came up Wednesday to look af-
ter his local interests. Mr.. Marion
owns valuable property here. When
asked for an opinion as to the future
he expressed the most sanguine
hopes for Neihart. "The outside
world" said he, sis talking a great
deal Of this place, and the people
are commencing to invest their mon
ey in local enterprises. This is what
will make the town substantial, and
the present impetus will not be a
mushroom development. Neihart
will forge steadily ahead. Her citi.
zens are wide awake, and her native
resources are abounding."
This opinion, emanating from a
thoroughly practical and successful
business man, a pioneer citizen Of
the camp, is worth much as an index
to future movements. Speaking o.
Neihart real estate, Mr.. Marion sale
he is positive that town property
will never again be offered at the
figure at which it is offered today.
