"Your gown just suits the day,

"Yes," she returned, with touch
of 'complacency, lit is assuccess. I've

do you think?''- .--
Stanton looked critically at her hat.
It was an immense affair of Neapoli-
tan straw and crushed velvet, with
two enormous plumes that wreathed
the hat, and then trailed down behind
in course that could have been d..

color was what is is known as burnt

beating from fright and uncertainty
Then he steeled himself, and bracing
his crutch against the bed he stood

well, if it's a reform school they'll
have to send the kid, for he amt got

seemed SO cold and hard and relent-

hers Well, nothing mattered much
now unless they. woHld let him go
with the kid.
There was sound of steps out in the
corridor. There was more than one
person, and the boy braced himself
again to meet the shock. Probably it
was policeman, maybe two of them.

DROWNED NEAR DARBY.

Virgil Kerlee, a lad Is years of age,
met death by drowning yesterday in
the Bitter Root river near Darby.
The boy carrying two fish poles set
out in boat, expecting his father,
James d. Kerlee to join him later.
About an hour afterward the father,
who was chopping wood near by,
heard the boy cry out. He ran to the
river and saw that the boat had cap
sized. An alarm was given and a
search begun. Jerry Wilkerson,
walking along the river bank just
east of the Darby cemetery, stumbled
over the body of the boy, which had
been washed ashore. The boy was an
expert swimmer and right at home in
boat, but had evidently been unable
to breast the swift current of the river,
which is quite high. The funeral is
being held awaiting the arrival of the
sisters of the deceased, who reside at
Taft.
