door.
You're sure you haven't left any

came back to the table and took mp
his hat, which he had dropped there
when he took up his gloves, As he
did so, he glanced at Barbara, who
lowered her eyes and turned towards
the kitchen as II TO 20 out.

day." he said, somewhat feebly.
"You need a wife to look after
you," said Mrs. Ward with decision.
She had picked up her work, which
she had dropped in her Ian while
Morton was telling stories, and was
intent on finishing it.
Barbara opened the Kitchen door,
and went out just as Mr.. Ward said
with a laugh: "Probably every wom-
an in Marble Square church has some
particular wife in view for you, and
you will disappoint all of them when
you finally make choice without
consulting them"
81 probably shall" replied Morton,
quietly, and, saying good night again,
he went away.
Mr.. Ward was silent few minutes,
and then said, as If he had been
thoughtfully considering new idea:
"Morton didn't seem at all duh or
tired after coming back for his
gloves. Have you thought that there
might be a reason for it?'
"No. What reason?" Mrs. Ward
looked up suddenly from her work,
startled by Mr. Wards manner.

Orchard Ward! You don't mean
to say that Ralph Morton would
marry Barbara!"
81 not only think he would;
think he will" replied Mr.. Ward,
quietly.
Mrs. Ward was too much surprised
at the unexpected suggestion to offer
n word of comment at first. The
thought of such thing was so new
to her that she had been totally un-
prepared for it.

MRS. Ward was on the point OF re.

her life. Before Carl's death she
would have resented as an unparal-

that of the pastor of the Marble
Square church choosing for his wife
even a girl like Barbara, his intellec-
tual and Christian equal. But many
things since Barbara's coming into
the home had conspired to change
Mrs. Wards old habits. And, as Mr..
Ward asked his question now, she
saw n picture Of Barbara and Carl as
they had been one evening few days
before the child's death. His nttle
arms were about Barbara's neck, and
his pale, thin cneek was lying close
against hers.

Mining Items.

The Lena mine near Hill City has
been shut down..
Nickle is reported to have been dis
covered in the shaft of the Copper Butte
company near Spring creek. 1t is said
that there is good lead of copper as
well as nickle.
A fine grade of asbestos is reported to
have been discovered six miles east of
Rockford. The ledge Is ten inches wide
and it is believed to be as fine q grade
as that found in Canada.
The Clara Belle mine and mill started
up again Wednesday for continuous
operations. The mine and mill have
been idle for the past month owing to
the shaft and drifts being filed with wa
ter from the heavy spring rains. There
is as yet no pumping machinery on the
property and Mr.. Hsbert was compelled

The Western Union conference OF
Seventh Day Adveutists, who have been
holding forth at Pioneer park for a week
or ten days, closed their meetings Tues
day night and left for their homes Wed.
nesday morning. On Monday forenoon
they gathered at Sylvan lake to witness
the ordinance of baptism. A few songs
were sung, two short prayers were offer
ed, and then one of the Elders led three
converts from the Nebraska sand hills
into the water and baptized them in ac-
cordance with the custom of the Seventh
Day Adventists. The reason given by
one Of the Elders for bringing the con-
verts here from Nebraska for the rite OF
baptism, was on account of the scarcity
Of water in or near the town where they
were converted. Although good audi
ences greeted their meetings here, no
converts were made so far as heard
from.

Gators Of the Blue Lead copper mine
near Sheridan, committed suicide in the
Jester House at Rapid City last Monday
He was found lying dead on his bed
with two-ounce phial oflaudnum and a

of Mr.. bursts strange actions cannot be
accounted for, as he had placed over
$500 in one of the banks at Rapid City
only two days before he committed the
rash act, and his selfdestruction cannot
be attributed to financial troubles. He

New W atsr Work System.

The early part Of the week the writer
had the pleasure to be shown the work
ings Of what is known az q pressure wa
ter system used for private residences at
the home Of Mr.. T. v. Garlock- He has
erected wind mill that feeds what he
calls pressure tank, situated in the up
per part of the house. This tank is gal
vanized iron and is air and water tight.
The mill pumps the water in against the
air. thereby COMPRISING it to pressure
ofabout 40 lbs. to the square inch, and
when it is released 1t goes forth in great
force from the hose nozzle or lawn
sprinkler. The system works automatic,
and requires no attention whatever
When the pressure reaches q certain
point which may be fixed at the pump,
the pressure of the water shuts off the
mill, and il remains standing until the
water In partly drawn from the tank.
when the pressure is reduced and then
the mill again throws in gear. So long
az there is wind the plant always fur
nishes plenty of water with no attention.
BY using this kind OF plant the pres
sure, both hot and cold water, is the
same all through the house, the same as
City water works. In case of an ap-
preaching storm the mill may be throw n
out of gear simply by closing valve In
the kitchen and started again by open
ing the same. This brings the plant
under perfect control without going
out of doors in storm to shut it of.
Mr.. Garlock is now placing one Of these
plants in the home of Mr.. Il. w.
Delicate, and will figure with any one
wanting water system Of this kind.
With plant of this kind it is no trouble
to have a nice lawn and grow trees.
