thankful to find that for some reason the
house was not locked up, nor the front
door on the chain as usual. It was no
small mercy to be enabled to escape the
shrewdsh curiosity of his ever inquisitive
landlady.
He occupied two rooms on the first
floor. In the sitting room the gas, turned

Sitting there motionless, he seemed to
before him. 1t would be perfectly easy
to trace him-Saxe would have seen to
that: and then there was abundant eyid
ence of motive, if that were needed. His
lips contracted in a smile that had no ac-
quaintance with mirth No one who knew
him had any doubt as to his real feelings
regarding the dead man; he had voiced
them often enough. He had never made
any secret of his contempt and hatred,
not only for Fitzstephen himself, but for
the whole tribe of which he was a repre-
sentative-of his intention of repaying
with interest his debt of hatred to the
man who had ruined his brother 1t had
not been of physical force that he thought
when he spoke to Betty; his punishment
was to have been directed at Fitzsteph-

money.

whatever madness had come upon her,
not for moment could he believe that
her soul was less white, less exquisitely

only yesterday, or a century ago?-he
had kissed her on the lips in that quiet

Biggest Shop
in Nor. Montana

1t is a fact that is certainly
worthy of comment that there is not
a harness or repair shop anywhere
in northern Montana to be COM
pared with that of the Cut Bank
Saddlery Co. Indeed it is note
worthy that many towns in this Sec
tion equal in commercial Importance
with Cut Bank in many other re-
spects have no such business place
as a harness shop, small lines of
horse goods being carried in the
general stores.
The Cut Bank shop was opened by
Grover G. Putt about three years a.
go, in the real rooms of the Pioneer
Press building. Putt came to town
with a deadly determination to es-
tablish this business and make it
win and he stuck to his last and
sold a set of harness now and then
and like the others in new bust
ness ventures, hoped and dreamed OF
a better time. He dealt squarely
with his customers and sold them
high class goods-and they clme
