She had never thought Of that. But
what was more natural than that he
should return some day to his old
home?
''But shall never, never see him, "
She thought passionately. She repeat
ed this again and again until she
reached home.
Liddie exclaimed when she saw her
mistress. elbow white you are, Miss

Miss Sophia in an unsteady voice.

DINNERS ready. A cup of tea will
do you good"
Miss Sophia drank some tea, but
did not touch the nice dinner which
Liddie had prepared.
"And you were wanting strawberry
short-cake, too. You'd better go and
lie down, Miss Sophia -
Miss Sophia sighed YEARLY. IT
think I shall. You need not gather
the currants this afternoon. Liddie.'
Liddie looked at her sympathetic
cally. "a nice nap will do you good. "
But sleep would not come to Miss
Sophia. Her brain surged with
thoughts-thoughts of those long past
years. She again went Through all
their sweetness and humiliation. The
sweetness of those months when she
believed that Luke Morer loved her.
He had given her every reason to be-
lieve that he intended asking her to
become his wife.
The humiliation of the time when
he suddenly left the village without
a word to her. Miss Sophia writhed
as she recalled the shame and agony
Of those days. But she had suffered
in silence. She mad borne herself
proudly before the curious glances Of
the villagers.
The years had brought her meas
ure Of forgetfulness. Other trouble
the death Of her parents, had helped
to deaden the pain. But now it was
all to go through again.
Miss Sophia came down stairs to-

assured herself.
She spoke cheerfully to Liddie.
"We'l get at those currants the first
thing in the morning"
One morning the following week,
Miss Sophia went out to her garden
to find her white rosebush marvel
of bloom. Never before had the roses
been so large, with such richly tinted
hearts and so exquisitely fragrant.
"Aren't they magnificent 2" cried
Liddie. EDO Miss Sophia, send them
to the Fair. You Will get the prize,
sure'

phie. There amt no one around here
likes her well enough to do that. SO
do send your roses. !"
"Miss Sophia looked thoughtful.
"Ill think about it," she said.
Tomorrow the day for the
prizes for flowers" urged Liddie
Early the next morning Miss So
phia crept softly down stairs with
her hat on. From "a cupboard she
procured large fat-bottomed basket
and a pair of shears, and going into
the garden she cut off the largest and
most perfect of her white roses. What
wonders of beauty they were, with
the dew upon their petals! She placed
them in the basket, covered them
lightly with tissue paper, and walked
quickly down the road until she came
to Miss Sallie Carr's cottage. All dts
shutters were closed. and a forlorn
air enveloped it. She opened the gate
and walked up to the white rosebush
in a corner It was In luxuriant bloom,
but Miss Sophia saw at a glance that
the flowers could not compare in size
and beauty with her own. She cut
few Of the finest roses and placed
them in the basket.
After standing "a few moments to
consider, she left the place and went
on towards the village. She had not
gone far when a buggy came around
a bend in the road toward her. AS it
drew near her, its occupant called out
Good morning, Miss Sophia. you are
out early"
"Oh-Mr Clark was just going
to your house, exclaimed Miss So
phia, going up to the side Of the
buggy which had stopped. She held
up the basket of roses. "You see,
Miss Sallie Carr wanted to send her
white roses to the fair She had to
go to her sick sister-so [ thought I'd
attend to 1T for her. And as you have
charge of the flowers
'FWhy, of course, Miss Sophia. I'll
take them. Ah-fne roses. I'm
sorry have to turn out at the next
turning. I'd drive you home else.''
Miss Sophia turned her steps to-
ward home. II hope she'll get the
prize" she murmured. "And they re
her fowers-I give them to her.
Twenty-Five dollars will come in very
nice for her if she is in need of
money"
On reaching home, she found Lid
die preparing breakfast, and much
mystifed at Miss Sophia's non-ap-
pearance.
L gave the roses to Mr.. Clark, p"
explained Miss Sophia. "He has
charge of the flower display, you
know"
''You will surely get the prize"
declared Liddie confidently.
She came in from an errand in the
village few days later looking much
crestfallen.
Somebody sent in Miss Salie
Carr's roses, after ALL" she said,
and they took the prize. Its very

no chance Of the prize. Hers and
mine are the only roses of the kind
In the county. But she has never
taken care Of hers. I've worked with

Miss Sophia IS steps continued slow
for some time after she had passed
Sallie Carr's cottage, her thoughts
directed by the white rose to long
past days.
Why had she always had that dis
trust and incipient dislike of Sallie?
She knew of no way in which the lat
ter could have harmed her And yet
there was something in Sally's man
ner on the rare occasions when they
met which repealed her. Suddenly
Miss Sophia's step quickened. The
white rose and Sally Carr had
brought other thoughts that she must
drive away.
No, she would not think Of those
days. She had suffered enough from
their pain and humiliation.
She went briskly about her errands
in the village, and was about to be-
gin her homeward walk when a voice
from behind called her. She turned.
A stout elderly woman was hasten
ing toward her.
"Dear me, Sophia, how fast you
walk"
"Good morning, Mary"
80, Sophia, are you going to send
anything to the fair9"
"No, don't think so. Liddie wants
me to send my white roses.
"They would take the prize if you
did. There is no rose like them any
place around. I IN going to send
strawberries. [ have some fine ones
this year.
care you? I hope you will be the
winner" returned Miss Sophia cor
daily.
"Dear me, Sophia, how well you
look. And you don't look bit
warm" Mrs. Brown was mopping
her face with her handkerchief.
II walked into the village" smiled
Miss Sophia.
"Well, if you were stout like me
you couldn't. Can't you come home
to dinner with me?"
''No, thank you, Mary. I have
preserving to do this afternoon. +"
"Oh, by the way, Sophia, guess
who is coming back here. Luke
Morer!" Mrs. Browns black eyes
fixed their glance closely on Miss So
phia s face.
Miss Sophia returned the gaze
calmly. Her voice was even as she
replied cit is long time since he
left, isn't it?"
"Nearly fifteen years. They say
hes made a good deal of money. But

Sophia's voice was still even. But

ply from Miss Sophia, added:
There's a prize of twenty-five dol
lars for the best white rose.
"That is a good prize" observed
Miss Sophia, as she threw handful
of dead leaves on the pile of debris
which Liddie's broom was gathering.
Liddie went on "Bussie White
was telling me about it. She says
Miss Carr is right hard up since she
lost her money in that bank failure.
She's awful anxious to get that
prize"
"Take it all up now, Liddie," said
Miss Sophia.
When Liddie had obeyed, she re-
turned to Miss Sophia who stood re-
garding the rose bush with thought
full eyes.
My, Miss Sophia, you ought to
send these roses to the fair. They III
be out just in time They'd take
the prize, sure! You remember how
fine they were last year. And the
buds seem larger than ever this
year"
Miss Sophia shook her head. "No,"
she answered, II don't care to-"
Then she turned and glanced COM
prehensively around the garden.
"We'l not do anything more out
here today, Liddie. You may go in
and get at your housework. I'm
going to change my dress. I have
some errands to do"
A half hour later, Miss Sophia
came down stairs in dark skirt and
crisp white shirt waist, white straw
hat shading her face She looked in
at the kitchen as she passed out Of
the house.
II think Wen have a strawberry
short-cake for dinner, Liddie."
"Why, [ was just thinking that

look!'
The color in Miss Sophia s cheeks
deepened. "Do I, Liddie? L was
wondering if this hat would do I've
worn it so long"
"It looks fine, Miss Sophia. The
flowers are just as fresh as ever"
The maid looked after her mistress
as the latter walked through the gar
den and out to the road.
LANDS me" she muttered, "Miss
Sophia looks as young as any of the
girls about here. And she must be
nearly forty!"
Miss Sophia walked along with
light step, her shoulders we'll thrown
back. 1t was morning for a walk,
the June air fresh from the showers
of the preceding night, and fragrant
with the mingled odors of roses and
syringas, as she passed an occasional
garden.
A half hour brought her to the
edge Of the village. AS she neared a
small white house set back from the
road in the middle of a garden, she
walked more slowly. There were a

SOLDIERS HOME
BOARD REPORTS

The board of managers Of the
Soldiers Home at Columbia Falls
have filed their annual report with
Governor Norris for the year ended
November 30, 1909. The follow
ing is taken from the Helena
Record:
1t shows that on Nov. 80, 1908,
there were 1O5 inmates and that
during the year there were losses as
follows: By death, IA, discharged
Is, and 1 absent without leave, a
total of 81, while II were admitted
and five readmitted, showing a
total gain of Is, of which 80 are
now present and 80 absent on
furlough. Continuing, the report
says:
During the past year the farm
has produced % tons of hay, 1872
bushels of oats, 1877 bushels OF
wheat, 81 900 pounds of potatoes,
1000 pounds of beets, 4 900 pounds
of rutabagas, $1,000 pounds OF

Considering the age and infirma-
ties Of the "old boys,' the health
of members, during the past year,
has been quite good. The ever
efficient DR.. Robinson and Captain
II. S. Howell are still carefully and
faithfully looking after the health
and comfort of these old patriots,

The Breaches Bible.

One of the books which a biblioma-
MAC handles reverently is the famous
Geneva Bible. better known as the
"Breeches Bible" This name is due
to the rendering of Genesis iii. I.
where Adam and Eve are said to have
"Sewed tg tree leaves together and
made themselves breeches." This had
been the reading Of the first English
Bible. Wyclitfe's version. but later
tranSlators had substituted the word
apron" for "breeches.' and the Gene
va Bible reverted to the original. The
fact that only one edition of the Gene
va version contained this sentence
makes the limited number more pre-
ciouS to the book gathrrer. The title
page Of this edition announces that it
was "imprinted ut London by the dep
uties of the qupene's most excellent
majestic" in 1899. The first edition
appeared in l1tN and for sixty years
this was the favOrite Bible with the
people. who reluctantly laid it aside
for the authorized version in 1911.

SHOOTING AT CUT BANK

Don Corallo, a Mexican, fancy
rider and all around border charac-

on the Blackfeet, was shot and
killed by Dave Clair, another ranch
man, formerly of Ell Paso, Tex,
now an employee Of the 70 cattle

about Is miles from Cut Bank.
The men were alone when the
tragedy took place, and Clair came
to town today and gave himself up
to the authorities, stating that the
the shooting was done in self
defense. Corallo had been in town
all week on a protracted drunk and
had threatened the lives of several
Cut Bank citizens.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR.

In spite of the fact that there
is great strike in progress that
tended to make business dull,
especially in a railroad town, the
merchants of Whitefsh have had
an excellent holiday trade, which
carried beyond their expecta-
tons and figures Of last year.
Some of them doubled their bust
ness and that they are very
thankful for the liberal patronage
that was accorded them will be
seen by the expressions Of their
ads this week.
The merchants appreciate the
fact that the people are so loyal
to their home industries. And
because they receive such liberal
patronage the merchants are bet
ter enabled to sell their goods at
more reasonable prices than any
other town of it's size and of
the same conditions. Of course
there are those who will forever
kick and knock, but ask any one
coming from another inland town
that has to pay excessive freight
rates and everything that is con-
sumed has to be shipped in and
hear what they have to say
about the Accommodations they
receive and the prices they have
to pay for food and clothes.
We dare say there is not a town
in the west Of the same size and
age, where commodities can be
bought as cheaply and where so
many modern conveniences can
be found.
