closed deal with the Black Hills
Traction company of Spearfish, for
furnishing electricity for lighting the
town and furnishing power. A
force of men are now putting up the
line from the Redwater plant to
Belle Fourche and it is estimated
that within sixty days 1t will be pos
slble to furnish Belle Fourche with
q day as well as night current.
During the three years the cleo
trio light plant has been in existence
1t has given good service and from
a mechanical standpoint is one Of
the best equipped plants in the state
of South Dakota II not in the entire
western country. For this reason It
has been uphill work on the part Of
the owners to make 1t pay interest
on the investment and running ex-
penses, owing to the first cost Of the
machinery and building being so
great. In fact the plant has never

LOVE VERSUS @
 @ ROMANCE.
fOriginai.l

lOrlSlnal.l
 As soon as he heard of her widow hood he took train, intending to see her. He had been engaged to her twenty years before, and when she married another man the discarded lover was heartbroken. He did not re. turn her picture and had kept 1t by him ever since. At the time she tilted him he was an uncouth farmers boy, while she was the belle of the village. That village had grown to be a town. and he was now its most prominent merchant She had moved with her husband to another state.
 She had married a farmer, and he was obliged to drive dozen miles from the station to reach her home He wondered If she would know him. 1t was not likely. for she had not seen him since she had married. He would know her among a thousand Despite the fact that we know that our friends change, we see them in the minds eye as when we saw them last. Coming to snug farm with a neat house and ample barns on 1t, he pulled up before the gate. At the same moment trim looking woman came to the door.
 I'm looking for the Widow Torrey," ne said. Can you tell me where her farm liesT
 Tt lies right here"
 Are you Mrs. Torrey?'
 Yes"
 She had changed, but did not look so much older as might have been ex- pected. She was still fine looking woman, apparently about forty-two. lie looked at her admiringly, his only disappointment being that she so little resembled her old self. He made up ms mind not to declare himself at once.
 I've heard. Mrs. Torrey, that since your husbands death you might con- clude to sell your farm"
 He had heard nothing of the kind. He wished to give an excuse for his coming.
 I'll sell anything I've got If can get my price for it. Won't you tie your horse and come inY'
 He tied his horse and went into the house. Everything looked spick and span. A little girl of four. the image or her mother, was the only other vis ioie occupant of the house. Mrs. Tor fey motioned to a rocking chair and seated herself on a sofa. After little 'aik about the sale of the farm he got up and took seat on the other end of the sofa.
 You don't remember me-" he said she looked up at him, surprised and curious.
 m an old lover of yours," he added. she scrutinlzed every line of his face, put failed to recall it.
 AS soon as heard of your hus- pahds death I started to find you. I uoh want to buy your farm, but want you to sell 1t and come and live "ith me. l want to be a devoted hus- paha and father to your little girl"
 Are you Sam Turner?" she asked
The Prescott daily news., 1908-07-20

''Sam Turner? No. I'm Enoch Weath- erby"
 She shook her head "Sam Turner's the only lover ever had before was married, and I never heard of Enoch Weatherby."
 Weren't you Ellen Stevens?"
 A new light came into her eyes. She burst into laugh. Ellen Stevens and l married brothers. She lives five miles up the road"
 Enoch Weatherby was much discom- fited. There seemed nothing for him to do but retire from the scene of his blunder. He arose, bade the widow goodby, unhitched his horse and drove away. He inquired along the route for Mrs. Torrey-the other Mrs. Torrey- and presently was directed to the farm where she lived. A woman apparently old enough to be his mother came to the door, followed by half dozen noisy children, whom she was scold- ing in rasping voice.
 "I'm looking for the Widow Torrey," he said.
 "Im the Widow TOrrey,"
 Was your name Stevens before you were married?"
 "Yes; was Ellen Stevens"
 "Hmw There was a pause. ''I've heard that since your husband died you might like to sell your farm"
 "Well, I reckon I'd sell it if I could get enough for it."
 She invited him in and told him all about her farm, the buildings on 1t, the stock and farming tools. She of fered to show it to him, but he said he would not have time then, but might call again. Then he took his departure without declaring himself. The dream of twenty years was shattered.
 He drove back to the other Widow Torrey and told her his story, asking her to keep his secret. Naturally she sympathized with her sister-in-law, but had not this nice, prosperous look ing man been ready, supposing her to be his old love, to give her that love and protection she so much missed? She gave the desired promise.
 In few days her little girl received big doll with eyes to open and shut, and soon after the mother unpacked handsome inlaid book rack for her par Tor table. The next thing that came was the donor, Enoch Weatherby, who again offered to take the widow and the little girl under his protection. Mrs. Torrey still had Qualms of con science respecting her sister-in-law, but since Weatherby assured her that that romance was passed forever she gave in, and there was quiet we'd ding, to which the sister-in-law was not invited, lest the secret should come out and cause unnecessary em- barrassment.
 Was he to be blamed? He had part ed from her when she was young and attractive, not through his fault. The chain of love had been broken. Not even the romance remained.

To Keep Meat Hot.

If your dinner is ready before you wish to serve it, place the meat over a large kettle of boiling water, cover it closely, and then spread a cloth over the whole. In this way the gravy will not be dried up.
