ooh, but she's come back" replied
Meg, quickly, with the idea that there
was reproach to her young mistress
implied in the suggestion that she
had been frightened away. "She
didn't wait long after the master sent
for her, can tell you"
And she's in the house now"
asked the detective, with interest.
'Yes, but not for you to see," re.
torted Meg, rudely. You can worry
me with your questions, if you like,
but you don't get at her, if l can help

At that moment window was
opened above their heads, and the de.
tcctive, without answering the serv.
ant. looked quickly up. He saw Nell
standing at the easement, crumbling a
piece of bread which she put on the
ledge for the birds. Noticing some.
thing with quick eye he stared up
silently, until Nell, whose head was
turned away, moved and perceived
him. She blushed crimson, and was
about to shut the window hastily
when he stopped her by an impcrious
gesture.
Beg pardon, Miss, but could l
speak to you minute?
For an instant sne seemed to hesi-
tate, and in that instant he could see
that she grew deadly pale. At last,

nifty assent, closed the window and
disappeared.
The detective, who thought he had
reason TO fear that she would again
attempt to escape him, pushed
brusquely past Meg, and opened the
side door.
What are you going in like that for,
without SO much as with your leave,
or by your leaye?" asked she prompt,
ly.
You heard the young lady say she'd
see me-" replied the detective as,
without further ceremony he passed
into the house.
At the foot of the stairs he met Nell.

she asked, in very tranquil tone.
1t was now so dark in the passage

There was a fire and there was Q
lamp. The detective turned up the
wick
You'll excuse me, Miss, but / want
very particularly to see you while l
speak,"
She had gone round the little table,
and was standing at the other side of
it. With a sudden movement the de-
tective swoopcd round upon her, and
seizing her by the wrist in a firm
grip, pointed to the back of her right
hand.
On the soft. white skin there was
little blister freshly made, with pink
line Of Inflammation round the base.

Five Years Ago.
Especial to Inter Mountain

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Jan. 25.-Five years ago to-
day the county seat of Deer Lodge
county was removed from the old town
of Deer Lodge to the city Of Anaconda.
January 20, 1897, was cold day. The
thermometer stood at 3S degrees below
zero and 1t was Sunday besides.
The fixtures, books and the property of
the county was transferred to Anaconda
by rail and taken to the city hall where
for a little more than two years county
officials had their Offices
Since that time wonderful change
has been wrought in the affairs and ac-
commodations of the county government.
County officials who are at present In
office and who remember the difficulties
under which the removal of the county
seat was made were talking of the mat
ter this morning ana congratulating
themselves that the day has long since
passed. Comfortable quarters in which
they are at present have nothing in them
to bring to mind the times when they
We're crowded together in the city hall,
or when, with the thermometer many
degrees below zero they were compelled
to pack their things and seek new
shelter where they were engaged for
many long and wearsome days to ar
range and rearrange their goods in order
that all might be accommodated.

Anaconda, Jan. 25.--Willis Thorndke,
the well-known artist can relate a thrill
ing story entitled '1rhe Trial and Tribu-
lations of a Newly Married MAN.
1t is scarcely more than ten days ago
that Willis forsook his bachelor friends
and went before hymens altar.
Before leaving on their wedding trip,
Mr. and Mrs. Thorndike rented house
on upper Hickory street and left orders
to have the place cleaned and made
ready for their occupancy upon their re-
turn. Everything about the house was
put in order, but the water pipes were
overlooked and the other night they
froze up tight.
The orders left for the coal man to put
In supply of fuel were not obeyed con-
sequently when the young couple reached
home the situation was not very pleas
ing to them.
Some friends who met them mt the
depot, gave them assistance I'm making
fire In the parlor. But the worst came
the next morning when the water pipes
In the rear part OF the house hursted,
completely flooding the kitchen.
Between the plumbers, who have had
the house In charge for couple of days
and freezing to death. Willis has con-
cluded that the responsibilities of q mar
ried man are indeed burdensome, and he
believes he Is having more than his
share of trouble.

'T never saw anything like It," said
DR.. Carman last night. that Cutler

imaginable, the house was worse than a
hog pen, to use plain words. The peo-
pie themselves were filthy and dirty and
one of the first things did was to send
them down bar of soap in hopes that
they might clean up.
