of him. Then he'll lead search party to
look for you. They won't find you; but
that they'll put down to your having wan

you what they will find"
"What?'
"Your sledge of furs some way off the
trail, where Moscow will have left it. Moth
ing could be more natural. And as he S your

ITO be sure; but I'd never have thought
OF it. Only, you know, he can't help hearing
we've got into MacEvoy."
But we sha mt be at MacEvoy.'
"Where else can we goo'
"To the Mission Station where l got my
dogs on the Aulatsivik.
Charlie threw up his hand with a shout.
"The Mission Station it is. Why, Roska,
there's a church there, and a missionary
Roska S face was swept by wave OF lovely
color; but she only said "Yes, Charlie
TEN DAYS later Roska and Charlie were
married by the Moravian missionary at
Aulatsivik, and after spending a fortnight
there they journeyed to MacEvoy They
arrived in the night, and before anyone saw
them the pair reached the post Of the
Mounted Police.
The Sergeant blinked at Charlie. Hello,
Thought you were dead" said he.
Why asked Charlie.
Because Moscow got in here near a fort
night ago. He said you'd started ahead of
him. He's gone to look for you, and | sent
two of my men to help him."
Brought in any furs with hime' inquired
Charlie.

much again.
Charlie looked at his wife. "Start in and
tell how it all happened he said to her.
When he had heard the story, the Sergeant
whistled "NIoscow's deep. We've sus-
pected him good while I'll go out and
meet him, or he might get a hint about you
and give us the slip"
A y hour later, the Sergeant rode away.
= Two days passed before he returned.
"Noscow's just behind" he said, "and
your furs. Bully for you, Mrs. Sdden! You
guessed right every time. Go inside"
Presently the Russian arrived with the
men and the furs. The Sergeant lounged up.
"How about these pelts:o" he asked.
"Charlie's dead my pelts, said Moscow.
The next instant there was click and
CRY as Moscow raised his handcuffed hands
in rage
"What foro" he snarled
"The attempted murder of Charles Sid
den. Hold your lip! I've witness. Come
out, Sidden,'
In spite of reckless effort at escape,
Moscow received the most severe sentence
permissible for the crime he had committed.
He is still undergoing that sentence; but, for
all that, in the dark OF the nights when the
wind rattles the latch of their dwelling,
Roska starts and grows pale; for, although
they never speak about it, she knows and
Charlie knows that a bitter heart never for
gets. 1t is the one cloud on a brave woman's
content; but as the months pass her faith
strengthens that Hand mightier than that
of the Law cares for her hard-won happiness.

tana and after the farmers study the
conditions necessary to produce the
best results, do not doubt, that the
yields Will be superior to that of the
Dakotas, as our wheat yields are su-

In this connection it NAV be said

Flax Soon Will Become States
Great Spring Crop Is Prediction

Billings, Jan. 95.--In the opinion Of
William Flannery. one of the leading
agriculturists of the Gallatin valley,
flax is destined to become the leading
spring crop OF Montana. Not only
tins, hut he likewise believes that
in yield it will, within the course Of
very few years, excel that Of the
Dakotas.
Mr.. Flannery engaged in flax cul-
tivation last year and seeded about
1000 acres short distance from
TOluca. He thinks, however, that
instead of waiting until spring to cul-
tivate the ground on which the crop
is seeded the plowlng should be done
during the preceding summer.
~ am encouraged enough by my
limited experience in the growth Of
flax" he said, Ito make it my lead
ing crop this year. ! do not believe,
however. that the system practiced
in the Dakotas is best for Montana,

JUDITH BASIN
BASEBALL LEAGUE

The Benchland Advocate saws:
"Some Of our local baseball players
have taken advantage of the extreme
ly pleasant weather and have been
out this week doing some practicing.
Prominent local fans here are advo-
eating for the coming season. a six
team Judith Basin League, to embrace
Moore, Lewistown, Judith Gap. Hob.
son. Stanford and Benchland. In
the case Of such a league Benchland
would be the smallest town. in the
circuit, but nevertheless we have the
material here for a team that, if con-
Quoted along proper lines, would be
Il winner and credit to the town.
The great national game is q good,
clean. wholesome sport for both
players and fans and proves. when
not mi3used, Il model recreation from
the arduous duties OF life.''
The first Of the week the fans in Ju-
dith Gap held Il meeting for the pur-
pose Of formulating plans for the or
ganization of a club in Judith Gap
the coming season, and it was decided
to go ahead provided sufficient
amount Of money could be obtained
by popular subscription to warrant
the placing Of a winning team in the
field. Two years ago Judith Gap had
the best team in the Basin. 1t was
composed entirely of local players.
Most of these boys are still here or
are willing to return if they can Sc
cure positions with the local business
concerns. Last year Judith Gap did
not have a baseball team, and it was
a lonesome town indeed. This year
it ought to put nine in the field that
will keep up the towns reputation az
being the biggest little city in the
state"

At 2 O'Clock the meeting came to
order. Professor Cooley occupying
the platform. The speaker said that
dry land farming had been success
in Utah for 20 years.
''Study the climatic conditions and
come as near the practical things as
possible" said the speaker. "Our

out after plowing. The soil should
be narrowed and packed the same
day it is plowed if Il crop is to he
sown OH it the same season.
He recommended that all land IN
tended for a crop be tested in num-
erous places by boring with an augur
TO find out if the moisture is sufficient
to mature the grain.
"BOth alfalfa and corn," the speak
er said, "are excellent dry land crops
and l would recommend them highly.
The safest plan with all grain is to
seed light. II the year is good the
grain will stool sufficiently to make u
large crop. If unusually dry. the
light sowing will make some crop
with less first cost. Too much
seed in dry year goes to straw and
the heads do not till.''
Professor Wilson was the first
speaker ut the afternoon session,
and took for his subject flax. Ad-
mitting that winter wheat will be the
leading money making crop in this
country for some years to come, he
pointed out that flax must be next in
the minds Of the farmers as an i'm
mediate money producer, as it was a
great drOuth resister and could be
successfully matured on spring break.

FARMERS PICNIC
ASSOCIATION

Editor Judith Gap Journal
movement was started last year to
organize d Judith Basin Farmers e
Picnic Association. The object of
the organization was to conduct the
annual picnic ut the Judith Basin Ex-
perimental Station. This annual pic
mic had been carried on for several
years. but owing to the extra work
In making arrangements and havin1
their own experimental work to look
after it made too much work for the
superintendent and his assistants.
and they asked that an orgu nization
Of some kind be made to take care Of
the picnic end Of it, and they would
assist all they could. That is why
the Judith Basin Farmers :Picnio
Association was organized.
1t takes some money to carry out
work necessary to have a successful
picnic. You will all remember the
NICE crowd we had last year and in
fact every year. A number OF people
spoke to me last year about what
nice time they had. and it surely is
an annual affair that should be kept
up. 1t is a day Of education and
recreation. 1t gets old friends to-
gethev and newcomers get acquaint-
ed, III fact il is one of the best things
for the educational and social well
f,ro NJ thn T., ;ith IN kn OO,,lA
be held.
Now what nm getting at is this.
We want every body in the Judith Ba-
sin to become Il member Of the Judith
Basin Farmers Picnic Association.
1t always h. been Il custom to soli-
cit funds to conduct the annual pic
mic, and this is very unsatisfactory
way to raise money, and we decided
that we would ask everybody to join
by paying 81. 90 membership fee and
81 90 annual dues. We felt that the
head of every family would like to
become one OF the boosters for the
picnic and by being a member he
would be part in the great organ
iZatiOn for bettering the educational
and social conditions Of the Judith
Basin. Bv all joining the movement
we will be able to give a better enter
tainment each year.
We are all proud Of the famous Ju-
.dith Basin; We are proNl Of our, .Ex-
perimental Station. for the grand
work they are doing and the success
they have achieved, and our annual
picnic has shown our appreciation,
let us make it better and have for

ATHLETIC GIRL
IS IN HER GLORY
FULLER SKIRTS AND A TRIFLE
LONGER. WILL PERMIT WEAR
ERTo EXERCISE BETTER.

The athletic type of girl, which has
made America famous the world over
is coming back into her own. Accord
ing to the latest styles showing in the
big stores the skirts will be fuller this
season with prospects Of even more
leniency in another season. The girl
with penchant for golf, tennis or
cross-country walking with little hill
climbing thrown in, will hail with de-
light the additional freedom of full
skirt. She will not mind the fact that
the style creator has modified her len
iency by adding tritle to the length
Of the garment.
Coats will be from tWenty-four to
twenty-six inches in length this season
in contrast to the long ones of last
year. Belt effects will be used with
the coats and the fastening generally
one button. /. J
The displays of the newest things
show a preponderance of taffetas,
white serges, whipcords and other i'm.
ported materials in the suits. Navy
blue will be the predominating color,
with white and tan second. Cossaque
waists will be good with the apron ef-
feet in either, front or back or both.

thing to the exclusion of .pongee this
