SITE FOR THE MILL.

Place For Fahrig Process.

The committee which went to Ellis
county to select a site for the proposed
Fahrig mill to handle gold shale, re-
turned yesterday, and report that it
has been decided to build the mill
across the Smoky river from smoky
Hill City, on land owned by Z. K. dol-
liday. It is thought that the work OF
building the mill will begin some time
in June.
The committee which selected the site
is. composed of ". J. Black, W. A. L
Thompson and H p. Dillon Besides
the committee, the following gentlemen
went to Smoky Hill City: Fred Free
man, Henry Bennett, F. L. Vandegrit.
Chas Blood Smith and c. J. Lantry.
Mr. Bennett gave the committee some
valuable advice on the selection of
site from the standpoint of a contractor
and builder.
The Fahrig mill will be near the Mil
Ter mill and the Close mill, but is about
three miles from the Beatty mill, where
Chas. Gage is testing his process for ex-
tracing gold. Some of the Topeka
men visited the Gage. or Beatty mill.
It is not in operation, and Mr.. Gage
mill is said to be well built throughout,
but it has not yet been operated for a

c. K. Holiday says that he expects
to raise the price of lots in Smoky Hill
City as a result of the site for the mill
being selected SO close at hand.

posedly. But it is not worth while
for us to spend the whole evening
quarreling," she added pleasantly.
Father and mother are out at neigh
boris so hope you will keep my tea

Carson was puzzled by the sudden
change, but before the evening was
over he realized what bright brainy
woman this stray sheep was. Nab
seemed determined to make herself
agreeable. She succeeded so well that
before he took her hand in parting,
Vaughn was quite ready to forgive and
forget.
And this was only the beginning.
Nearly every day they met somewhere
for moment at least and the meeting
was always pleasant. Carson heard
that she had explained this sudden
change of front by announcing that
she and the preacher had made it up.
Long enough before the lenten sea-
son had passed it had become natural
for him to regard her as his sworn
second in all church work, and when
they met on Saturday to decorate
for Easter, Mable took up her role as
a matter of course. and zealously sec
onded his every suggestion.
1t was natural, then, that when they
at last stood alone together before the
lily banked altar he should have felt
called upon to express his gratitude

eyes" Mable agreed, 'it is a rash
thing to defy woman as you defied

Carson made no reply. He was
staring at the lilies with a touch of
savageness. 1t was easy enough now
to understand. He stopped and took
from the altar steps long stemmed
lily and offered 1t to her.
Crush it under foot if you see fit"
he said quietly.
Mable took the pure fragile emblem
of Easter gladness and looked for a
long uncertain moment. Then sud-
denly with shy laugh she thrust the
long stem into her belt and the lily
laid its heavy head upon her breast.
