'Friends?" said Buford cheerily, the
smiling wrinkles of his own thin
face signifying his sincerity; why,
man, here is a place where one needs
friends, and where he can have
friends. There is time enough and
room enough, and-well, you'll come,
won't you?" And Franklin. dazed and

CHAPTER XIV.
Another Hour.

"But It seems as though I had al
ways known YOU" said Franklin, turn
ing again toward the tall figure at the
window. There was no reply to this,
neither was there wavering in the at
dtude of the head whose glossy back
was turned to him at that moment
"It was like some forgotten strain
of music!" he Numbered on, feeling
how hopeless, how distinctly absurd
was all his speech. Il surely must
always have known you. somewhere!
Mary Ellen still gazed out of the
window. In her mind there was
scene strangely different from this
which she beheld. She recalled the
green forests and the yellow farms OF
Louisburg. the droning bees, the
broken flowers and all the details OF
that sodden, stricken field. With
shudder there came over her a swift
resentment at meeting here, near at
hand. one who had had 4 share IN
that scene of desolation.
She turned toward him slowly at

Great Falls, May 1.-THE state
democratic convention was called to
order at 500 O'Clock this afternoon by
Chairman TooIney of the state central
committee. Secretary 7. c. kurtz
read the CALL The chair announced
the selection of C. B. Nolan OF Lewis
and Clarke for temporary chairman
and Miles Romney IF Ravalli as tenn
porary secretary, and they were es-
corted to the stage amid much ap-
plause.
I. j. Walsh of Lewis and Clarke
made the nrst motion, that committees
on credentials, resolutions and perma-
nent organization be named by the
delegations and this was unanimously
carried. Some of the delegations not
having caucused, a brief recess was
taken to enable them to select their
chairman and committeeman. When
the convention was again called to or
der, W. ]. Mcmahon of Silver Bow
was unanimously elected assistant
secretary.
The committees were named by the
delegations, after which a recess was
taken and the visitors viewed the
Rainbow falls and Giant spring. At
about O'Clock the convention re-
assembled.
After the temporary organization
had been made permanent the COM

FRANK DRINkENBERO'S MACHINE
BLOWN INTO FRAGr1ENTS.
AN UNPRECEDENTED OUTRAGE
Believed To Have Been Perpetrated By
Some Personal Enemy Giant
Powder Did the Business.

OF all the strange things that have
happened in the land of the Bitter
Rooter, the destruction by dynamite of
F. H. Drinkenberg's new auto mobile
last Saturday night, is probably the
most remarkable. The deed was un-
doubtedly inspired by desire Oh the
part of some person or persons to
crafty personal spite.
About ten O'Clock last Saturday
night the people residing in Riverview
addition were startled by a terrific ex-
plosion so violent that it shattered the
window glass in the immediate vicinity
and shook dwellings, so that dishes
were thrown from tables and vases
from shelves. The children of Mr..
and Mrs. c. B. Moore, who live near
est to the scene of the explosion, were
almost thrown out of their beds and
one of the boys was stunned or dazed
by the concussion. The report of the
explosion was heard at Corvallis and
on Camas, five miles away.
Hurried investigation by those first
on the scene, disclosed that F. H.
Drinkenberg's automobile, standing
in shed in the rear of his residence,
had been blown up. The atmosphere
of the vicinity reeked with the odor of
giant powder and burnt fuse was
strewn about, which told the story of
an unprecedented outrage, and which
was confirmed by the fact that the
tank, containing rs gallons of 6 gasoline,
the tank on the machine containing
gallons of the fluid and the motor that
generated the propelling power all es-
capped injury. The roof of the shed

dunn founded but at once set to work in
an attempt to solve the mystery. A
bloodhound was soon procured but the
animal was unable to strike a scent.
owing to the strong odor Of burnt
powder and also to the immense crowd
of astonished citizens who had con-
gregated as soon as the news of the
atrocious crime had spread.
It has been told on good authority
that the company powder house was
broken into last Friday night and that
about 3 pounds of dynamite was
stolen.
ALI day Sunday there was an almost
continuous string of people from all
directions coming to look at the wreck
and all expressions were to the effect
that the guilty party or parties should
be found at whatever cost and be made
an example of.
The machine cost Mr.. Drinkenberg
$3.50. He proposes to ship what re-
mains of 1t back to the manufacturer
and have it rebuilt.
All kinds of surmises and con-
lectures as to the motive prompting
such an outrage have been advanced,
but thus far no clue has been found
leading to the identity of the perpe-
traitors of the deed. It, of course,
must have been the work Of some per
sonal enemy. Many hold to the opin-
ion that the deed was committed by
some person whose team may have
been frightened by the machine.
Autos are, as yet, not very numerous
in the Bitter Root and most every
horse upon beholding one goes up in
the air on sight.

Helena, May 12.-Dr. Thomas d.

and the sides were blown away and
fragments of the automobile were
found 200 yards from the scene of the
explosion. Evidently several sticks of
giant powder had been placed under
the seat, near the complicated nachin-
cry, the fuse ignited and which was
quickly followed by the explosion.
The entire upper part of the machine
was blown into kindline wood while
the lower part, comprising the springs,
axles and wheels were perfectly intact.
The two large headlights, which hap
pened to be on the machine at the
time, were uninjured, except for a
slight dent in one of them.
The Master Hand that controls all
things surely was present, for had the
large amount of gasoline, which was
scarcely 3 feet from where the dyna-
mite was placed, ignited and exploded
there would have been a different
story to tell. Several human lives
would have been taken besides the al

cent buildings. Undoubtedly it was
the intention of the culprit who com
n1itted the foul deed, to have the gaso-
line explode and thereby cover up all
trace as to the real cause of the deed.
But kind fate willed it otherwise and
saved a great deal of property and
several innocent lives.
At the time the deed was committed
Mr.. and Mrs. Drlnkenberg were IN at
tendance at the Bandmann entertain
nent at the Lucas Opera House. Mr..
Drinkenberg was hurriedly called
from the audience and notified of the
affair by D. V. Bean, who, with his
father, was first on the scene of the ex-
plosion, and who were compelled to
first put out the fire, as the ruined
building was ablaze in several places.
Mr.. Drinkenberg made all haste
to his home and was heard to say that
his first thought was of the safety of
the Moore boys, sleeping less than
Is yards away before the explosion,
and of his old horse, whose stall was
less than feet from the auto, being
separated from the latter only by a
partition of inch boards, but on second
thought remembered that he had, a
day or two before, removed the faith
full old animal to the pasture for the
summer as he did not need him during
the fine weather. Mr.. Drinkenberg
has had the horse for nearly % years
