From Harlowton we went to Lew

to celebrate a safe and sane" Fourth,
passing through the fertile Judith
Basin, the greatest wheat-producing
area between the Atlantic and Pa
cifc Lewistown was alive with peo-
| pie and the celebration was model
OF splendid attractions, ordliness and
patriotic spirit Fire crackers, all
dangerous explosives, the deadly toy
pistol and confetti were barred, and
not an accident was reported all day,
yet the "kid" primed for the sport
found it in abundance. The street
parade outclassed anything outside OF
southern mardi gras in splendor and
was unanimously complimented The
athletic sports. races and ball games
took place at the fair grounds and
were all first-class. I,ewistown is
growing and growing fast 1t is the
coming city OF eastern Montana in
the near future.

His Head Was Hard.

1t is a common belief that the ne
gro's head is hard, capable of with
standing almost any blow.
The following story told by a promi-
nent young dentist of Danville, ILL.,,
would seem to indicate something of
the kind anyhow. Two negro men
were employed on tearing down
three-story brick building. One ne
gro was on top of the building taking
off the bricks and sliding them down
narrow wooden chute to the ground,
some thirty feet below, where the
other was picking them up and piling
them.
When this latter negro was stoop-
ing over to pick up brick the former
accidentally let one fall, striking him
directly on the head.
Instead of it's killing him, he merely
looked up, without rising, and said,

CHAPTER VIII.

THE PATH THROUGH THE GROVE
l had no trouble in finding the path
and in following ii through the grove,
noting how the trees screened II from
the street. l reached a hedge enclos-
ing a garden which the path skirted,
and finally n second hedge, which
seemed to be the one bounding the
estate. The path led to a gate which
opened upon the grounds of a cottage
just beyond. I could see that there
was garden and that the cottage was
covered with vines, but no further de-
tails were discernible.
Suddenly a light flashed out from
one Of the windows. and saw q wom-
an moving about within, no doubt pre-
pairing supper. But at that moment I
caught the sound of hurried footsteps
along the path behind me and shrank
aside into the shadow of the trees Just
in time to avoid another woman whom
as she dashed past l recognized as the
dark-faced maid. She crossed the gar
den without slack ening her pace and
entered the house. / saw her approach
the other woman, pause apparently to
speak word to her, and then the two
disappeared together.
