Of his old self there with his dead
friend and comrade in the quiet coun.

old careless, reckless spirit to appear,
but he was never the same again. The
change was unmistakable, but hard to
define. He seemed to have resolved
his life into definite purpose. He
was hardly so comfortable fellow to
be with; he made me feel even more
lazy and useless than was my wont,
but I respected him more and liked
him none the less. As lion he was
not a success. He would not roar.

very face wore the boys open, inno-
cent, earnest look that used to attract
men to him in his first college year.
His delight in the fields and woods, in
the sweGA country air and the sunlight,
was without bound. How often had
we driven this road together in the
old days!
Every turn was familiar. The swamp
where the tamaracks stood straight and
slim out of their beds Of moss; the
brule, as we used to call 1t, where the
pine stumps, huge and blackened, were
half hidden by the new growth Of pop.

took up the word and told Of what
I had known Of Nelson and his influ-
ence upon the men Of Black Rock.
They listened eagerly enough, but still
without speaking. There seemed moth
ing to say till I suggested to Graeme
that he must get some rest. Then the
girl turned to him and, impulsively put
ting out her hand, said:
ooh, It is all so sad, but how can we
ever thank your
"Thank meT gasped Graeme. "Can
you forgive me? l brought him to his
DEATH"
mo, no! You must not say SOP she
answered hurriedly. you would have
done the same for him."
"God knows I would" said Graeme
earnestly, land God bless you for your
words"
And was thankful to see the tears
start in his dry, burning eyes.
We carried him to the old home In
the country. that he might lie by the
side of the wife he had loved and
wronged. A few friends met us at the
wayside station and followed in sad
procession along the country road that
wound past farms and through woods
and at last up to the ascent where the
quaint old wooden church, black with
the rains and SHOWS Of many years,
stood among its silent graves. The lit
tie graveyard sloped gently toward the
setting sun, and from It one could see,
far on every side. the fields of grain
and meadowland that wandered off
over softly undulating hills to meet the
maple woods at the horizon, dark,
green and cool. Here and there white
farmhouses, with great barns standing
near, looked out from clustering or.
chards.
Up the grass grown walk and
through the crowding mounds. over
which waves uncut the long, tangling
grass, we bear our friend and let him
gently down into the kindly bosom of
Mother Earth, dark. moist and warm.
The sound Of distant cowbell mingles
with the voice OF the last prayer; the
clods drop heavily with heart startling
echo; the mound is heaped and shaped
by kindly friends, sharing with one

After a long silence Graeme spoke.

me. and I think" and here the words
came slowly, II understand now what
that means. who loved me and gave

king-Barnes Property.

Exploitation work is still going
steadily on at the King Barnes mines
and shaft is now being sunk on the
Gopher Fraction for the purpose OF
ascertaining the depth Of the ore
body. H. G. Curran of New York, who
represents the financial interests Of
the 81, 900, 900 bond, visited the proper
ty last week in company with E. w.
King. 1t depends on the report OF
Mr.. Curran whether or not the bond
will be taken up. though nothing def
mite can be learned on the subject un-
til the expiration Of the time limit, on
June 1st..
Arrangements have been made by
Mr.. Curran to acquire considerable
mining property on the northerly and
easterly confines of the King-Barnes
property, which would seem to indi-
cate that he has considerable conf.
dence in that section of the North
Moccasin.
Mr.. Curran returned to Lewistown
on Monday and yesterday made an
other trip to the mines, returning in
the evening. He mentioned that the
new steam hoist had been installed
at the mouth of the exploration shaft
and commenced working yesterday.
Mr.. Curran will start for Denver in
few days and from there will proceed
to New York city. He will in all
probability return to Lewistown in
the near future, or send representa-
tive to attend to his interests.
The Barker Outlook.
Things at Barker are undoubtedly
looking up. says the Belt Valley
Times. We are informed that orders
have been given by the Great Nor
thern Immediately to place the track
in repair between that point and Mon
arch. The track and roadbed are in
pretty bad condition and the expense
of putting 1t in working order will be
considerable. The line has been used
little during the past two years, prob
ably anaverage of one light train q
week making the trip over the line
having been sufficient to trasport all
the ore and mining timbers produced
by the old camp during that time and
the condition of the road has been
allowed to fall into such q state that
repairs are necessary in order that
1t may be used at all. The recent
orders of the railroad company indi-
cate that there is something more
than "hot air" in the report of New
York company opening one of the
Barker mines. Although of low grade,
no old-timer ventures to dispute the
fact that Barker can turn out an i'm
mense amount of ore yet, and all that
is needed is the right spirit of push
behind a liberal amount of capital.
