So it was that Jim was so happy.
He had only two more days to wait;
then he would get his months wages.
He had $40O saved up, and he reflected
that he and Nelly would manage to
get along nicely on that for awhile.
His pride was riding rampant, also,
and his conscience was very self salts
fed, indeed, for had he not held out
against the allurements of beauty,
wealth, position, ease-everything? 1t
was a victory well worth rejoicing
over.
The ceremony was over, the few init
mate friends had taken their departure,
and Jim and Nell looked at each other
in bewildered sort of way.
81 think we ought to take a trip, JIM
Pm SO deadly tired Of this place. 1
don't know what to do. Let's go to
Europe. I've always wanted to go
there"
"Nelly, are you daft? 1 can't afford
trip to Europe, and you know it.
And you haven't any money either, so
how are we to goP'
81 think it is very unkind OF person
Of your wealth to be haunting me with
my poverty. For a man as rich as
you, l think you are undoubtedly
close" Her eyes twinkled merrily.
II want to go to Europe, and now
I've got you to go with me you ought
to be glad of the opportunity"
Nell, dear, if 1 could afford 1t you
know / would be delighted to take
you"
"Well, you can afford it."
81 tell you l cannot"
Il know better-you can. Why, just
look at these" and she handed him a
bundle of books and papers. He picked
up the first one and read the inside
page: First National Bank, in &C
count with James NJ. Allyn. Deposited
May 1, $4,000; May 8, $4,000; May
II, $4,000.
what does this mean, NellP' he
asked wonderingly as he looked at
another book and read: Received May
g. bonds, mortgages, stocks and securi-
ties duly transferred and assigned to
James NJ. Allyn, and aggregs ting $780,
600, and more particularly described
as follows: The Trust and Safe De-
posit company" Nell was hugely en-
joying the situation. She seated her.
self on the arm of the chair and said:
you dear old stupid, mulish. stub
born thing, I told you the truth, for 1
gave everything 1 owed to you before
1 wrote that letter. I told the truth,
for l reserved just enough to bring me
In $500 year"
well, I'll be- She kissed him and
stopped the word.
"Are you going to Europe 2" she ask
ed.
"Yes. I think I would enjoy the trip
myself, but don't you think&you paid
too much for me"
ooh, 1 don't know. Not as long as
you are nice as you are now. Come
on. Let's get ready and catch the

GREAT FOR THE RANGE.
Will Strait Says Says Late Snow Will
Make Grass Fairly Pop Up. ID

Will F. Strait, the Roundup sheep
man, who came to Billings a few days
ago to recuperate from his recent ill
ness, is one Of the many stockmen that
are rejoicing over the late
which will be the means of making
grass and moisture for stock, which
were badly needed. The range in his
section was like that in every part Of
eastern fundamentally dried up, but
the snow will have the effect Of start
ing the grass. He received a telephone
message from his ranch yesterday
stating that there were three inches
of snow on the ground, with the prob
abilities of more coming.
"The snow came just at the right
time and will do more good than a
rain," said Mr.. Strait to a Gazette
man at the Grand hotel yesterday.
"The frost is out Of the ground and as
fast as the snow melts it will sink into
the ground, while if it had been a rain
it all would have run off and the effect
would not have been nearly as lasting.
Yes, it is a great thing for us people
and has been the means of causing us
to feel more hopeful over the outlook.
If we are to have any severe weather
or cold rains it is to be hoped that
they will come during the next two or
three weeks, SO that we can have
pleasant weather during the lambing
season. which will begin in our section
about May I. OF course, the success
of the lambing season depends entirely
on the weather."
Mr.. Strait has had quite a siege of
sickness, having been i'll since Janu-
airy l with pleuro-pneumonia. ,Hav-
ing never been sick before, he has felt
the confinement greatly, but he is i'm
proving nicely. His partner in bust
ness, Walt. M. Seeley, was taken i'll
about a month later than Mr.. Strait
with the same disease and was
brought to Billings, but lived only a
few days after coming here.

Rev. Father A. Hoffman Of Red
Lodge. who came to Billings ten days
ago suffering from lung trouble, was
able to say mass in the hospital chapel
Sunday morning. He does not gain
strength very fast, but thinks he will
be able to his ministerial
duties at Red Lodge the latter part of
this week.
W. M. Mitchell, the Burlington
%switchman, who met with an accident
Saturday which necessitated the
amputation of both his legs just above
the knees, is recovering nicely from
both the accident and the amputation,
but it will be several days before he
will be past the danger point. Mr..
Mitchell's parents, who reside at Bur-
lington, Ia, have been notified Of his
condition. Mr.. Mitchell, ST., is a
passenger conductor on the Burlington
railroad, running between Burlington
and Omaha, and will reach Billings
this morning from the east. The Elks
are doing everything possible for the
injured man.
r. W. Hutchison, who has been i'll
for the rast few months with pneu-
monla and later pleurisy, is slo WY re-
covering, but it will be some time yet
before he will be able to be about.
For a time his life was despaired of.
An invalid's chair has been ordered,
which will prove of vast comfort to
those patients who are not able to be
moved about, except by this cal
Some decided improvements are con
%templated on the hospital grounds this
summer. A cement sidewalk will
probably be constructed and the
grounds graded and sown with grass
seed, when it will be but a matter of a
short time until the place will present
a beautiful appearance.

anything toward putting in a system
of ~waterworks before the summer, but
hope to have the system in use by
next fall said Mr.. MCCARTHY, as he
sat in the lobby of the Grand hotel
last night and chatted to a Gazette
man. ':There is nothing the town
needs more than waterworks, the
water that now supplies the place hav-
ing to be brought in in wagons. In
addition to this we expect to put in
electric lights, but that will have to
come later. At present there are only
SO men employed in the mines getting
out about 1875 IONS a day, but we will
increase thu force this fall, but first
we must build some cottages to house
them. We already have a number of
houses, but every dwelling in the

encountering all kinds of bad weather
