Days ranch in the Bitter Root VAL
ley, $50 miles west of Butte, was his
faVorite hobby. 1t was six miles in
length and as wide as the valley that
is hemmed by the shadow-draped,
crepuscu:ar mountains which rise
sheer and somber into the sky above
it. Her: was the famous "rammany
HAIL." a stable that housed Ham
burg. Ogden, Inverness, Bathampton,
and Tanmany. Here these turf heroes
were groolned and pampered like the
horses Of oriental kings. Miles Of
electric light wires and water pipes
connected the different stables and
covered trotting tracks. Dotting the
sAS~e oAPoliee VI AootHllI ana prairie
were the arbor shaded lodges of the
foremen and keepers of the ranch,
clustering islands of green, and orna-
menting the deep vistas of the drives
ways. Along these were deer fritns,
where the game of the hills frolicked
and sported in needless captivity. This
was the summer home of the copper
king. and here he secluded himself
from the turmoil of his mines and on
tertained his friends. On this ranch
he spent millions. A single irrigating
ditch cost him 100000.

Anaconda, Days winter home, to the

the continent through canyon, forest,
and plain, dropping headlong down The
west slope of the Cascade Range into
Seattle the third day out. These trains
went west by way Of Missoula, near
Days ranch home. In winter, storms
in Dakota delayed these flyers; in
spring the freshets; in summer heavy
passenger travel; and in fall, the
cumbrous movement of the harvesrs.

sharper than I have ever heard it before. Take
that mans handiwork down. he cried, and burn
it,"
And with these words the man marched off,
carrying the picture with him.
'What can this mean?" muttered the artist.
~ shall see Father Ignatius tonight, and shall
ask him the meaning of this affront."
Walking off quickly, I overlook the attendant
before he reached the sacrsty door.
"You really do not know, then" said I to
him, "why Father Ignatus wishes the picture
to be destroyed"
"I know no more than I told Master Angelo
Just now, sir"
Ny uncle at this juncture approached lis, won

hands of the attendant. Addressing Paolo, he
said, while pointing to the sacrsty door:

priests he still within? I want to see him."
"He is gone. Left few minutes since"
"Gone? Left? What! both of them?"
"Both of them"
"They did not pass through this doorway

"No, sir. They left the sacristy by side-door. +"

''Tf, Paolo you can find out for us what lis

and what business brings him here" my uncle
continued 'I will give you more money than YOU
can earn in a twelvemonth. There is an earnest
of it," and he pressed some silver pieces into the
fellows palm. "We do not wish him to suspect
he is being watched. We are tourists staying at

all around the cathedral

aisles yonder, for should he see me he will be
suspicious of you. We won't say anything to
Daphne about this yet"
AS I was turning away caught sight OF
Daphne, who, having gone the round OF the ca
thedral, sitting the picture Of the Ma
donna, with the artist by her side. They were
chatting away as confdentially as if there were
no one in the world but themselves.
Impatiently turned my eyes in the direction
of that sentinel my uncle, and found him still
on the watch at the sacristy-door 1t swung open
at last.
To my disappointment, however, neither priest
nor penitent issued forth, but man who had
every appearance of being one Of the attendants
of the cathedral. He was walking over to us.
My heart beat fercely. The mystery of last
Christmas Eve was going to be cleared up!
The belief in my own mind that the attendant
was going to invite me to the priests room In
order to interview the aged penitent was go
great that had actually risen to meet him, but
he passed by without regarding me, and, walk
ing up to Angeles picture of the Madonna he
removed it from the wall, and was preparing to
depart with it, when he was stopped by the art
ist.
''What are you going to do with that picture,
Paolo?" inquired Angelo, to whom the attendant
was evidently well known.
''I am taking it to Father Ignatus' room," re-
piled Paolo.
What for?''
"Such are Father Ignatius' commands. He
says it is to hang no more on these walls

and | began wandering about alone.
Tired of gazing at the decorations, I directed
my attention TO confessional box not far off. I'm
like most confessional boxes, the front of this
one quite open to view and within there sat
an aged priest, while outside, knelt man whis-
peIlng a confession.
If looks were to be taken as evidence the faith
confessor was deeply interested in the recital
of the others frailties. Suddenly his eyes
turn to far corner Of the cathedral, and follow
ing his gaze | saw that the objects of his atten-
ton were Daphne and Angelo, who had just come
into view from behind the pillars of coonnade
Long ami earnest the look that the priest
fixed upon the pair-so long and earnest that nv
curiosity was aroused as to its cause
1t occurred to me that he had recognized in
Daphne the original of the Madonna. Once more

began to dawn uron me that | had seen him be-

tableau,
The penitent was still proceeding with his whis-

Horror was painted his face while the other
man, with his white head bent and his hands
piteously clasped, sank low on his knees, study
of humiliation What terrible secret had been
impaired that he should betray such emotion?
For full minute he remained rigid as

had not observed the singular scene.
"Uncle," I said, and even in my own ears my
voice sounded strange; did you notice an old
man kneeling at that confessional box over
there?"
"Why do YOU ask?"
"Who do you think he was:"
Answer your own riddle"

My uncle put this question, and Paolo replied
"As they pushed open the door, | heard Faith
er Ignatus say When do you say this happen
ed? and the old man anwered, Last Christmas
Eve:' and that's all heard, for when they saw
me they stopped talking at once, and Father lg-
natius ordered me in voice of thunder to go
and take down Master Angeles Madonna and
burn it here in the sacristy, though for what
reason l can't make out"
And in some trepidaton Paolo closed the door
and occupied himself with whatever work ne
had to do within.
