CHAPTER 4.
DomInlck Comes Home.


Three days after the return Of the
Cannons, Dominick Ryan also came
home He had answered Berny's let
ter the day the Cannons left, few
hours after that interview with the
Bonanza King. in which, driven to
bay by the old mans questions. he
had torn the veil from his married
life.
After that there was period Of
several hours when he sat In his room
thinking over what had happened. 1t
seemed to him that he had played
a dastardly part. He saw himself a
creature of monumental, gross selfish
ness, who had cajoled young girl.
in a moment Of softness and senti-
ment, into an action which had done
nothing but distress and humiliate
her. He, who should have been the
strong one, had been weak. 1t was
he who should have seen how things
were going; he. the married man, who
had allowed himself to feel and TO
yield to love that ought to have been
hidden forever in his own heart.
He felt that 1t would be a sort OF
expiation to go back to his wife. That
was where he belonged. Rose mus,

never again cross his path, have a
place in his thoughts, or float. a soft
beguiling image, in his memory. He
had a wife. No matter what Berry
was, she was the woman he had mar
ried. She had not deceived him. 1t
was he who had done her a wrong,
and he owed her a reparation.
In his raw state, his nerves still
thrilling with the memory OF that mo-
,ment's embrace, he saw Berry from
her own point Of view. He lost the
memory Of the complacent mistress in
the picture of the unloved wife. on
whose side there was much to be said.
Morbidness colored his vision and ex-
aggerated his sense Of culpability. II
she had an ugly temper. had 1t not
been excited, fed and aggravated by
the treatment she had received from
his family? If they had maintained
different attitude toward her. the
moor girl might have been quite a
pleasant, easy-going person. In all
other ways she had been a good wife.
Since their marriage. no other man
had ever won a glance from her She
had often enough assured Dominick
of that fact, and he, for his part, knew
II TO be true She had struggled to
keep a comfortable home on their
small income. If she was not. copgen-
ial TO him-if her companionship was
growing daily more disagreeable-was
q all her fault? He had known her
well before he married her. six months
of the closest intimacy had made him
acouainted with every foible of her
character. TWAS no story Of, a youth

Children's Food.

He looked at his daughter across
the table with narrowed eyes. What
have you got to say for yourself after
that, young woman?" he demanded.
Rose had evidently nothing to say.
She raised her eyebrows and shook
her head by way of reply. Her face.
in the food of lamplight, looked pale
and tired. She was evidently distract
and depressed; a very different-look-
ing Rose from the girl he had taken
away with him four weeks earlier.
He regarded her for an anxiously-con-
templative moment and then said:

you look sort'er peaked"

start. why, I'm quite well"
Wells you were before you went

A color came into her cheeks and

Her father drew his coffee-cup
toward him and dropped in a lump Of
sugar. No word had passed between
him and his daughter as to the scene
he had witnessed two days before in
the parlor of Perley's Hotel. She was
| ignorant of the fact that he had seen
1t and he intended that she should re-
main ignorant Of 1t. But the next
morning he had had an interview with
Dominick Ryan, In which the young
man. confronted with angry questions
and goaded past reserve by shame and
pain, had confessed the misery Of his
marriage and the love that in an un
guarded moment had slipped beyond
his control.
Cannon had said little to him. Be
yond telling him that he must moi
see Miss Cannon again, his comments
on Dominick's confessions had beer

North Butte's Developments for the

med up in the company statement
that the continued development OF the
Edith May and Adirondack veins ON
the 3 400 and 2,600-fout levels, toseth-
en- with the continued eastward deyel-
opment OF ore in the Snowfall vein on
the p 200 level, have more than re-
placed the ore which has been mined

IL is quite evident that the Edith

With this must be included the ore

course, all this does not mean that the
company is disclosing ore similar in
grade TO the bonanza ore that was
found in the North Butte. ass i'm other
Butte mines, and at depth of from
500 10 1000 feet; consequently. there
is little likelihood that the company
can revert TO the phenomenal pruduc-
ton and earnings that it made in it,

strongly that whereas the company
two or three years ago was apparent
IS distinctly ON a downward grade, il
has now reversed its direction and
should continue TO be a substantial
producer OF copper from average Butte
ore and therefore, with average Butte
costs for an indefinite length of time.

Utah Cooper Co.

Utah Copper's June output of H.
C37,94g pounds, compares with l0,3l2,-
f05 pounds in May, and 9,234,4G in
June. 1912. Only once before has this
output been exceeded. 1t is quito re-
markable fact that i'm the June quarter
the company produced 3I7S5,44S
pounds, thereby exceeding in less than
nine months after severe strike, the
largest previous quarters production
by nearly 100000 pounds.
So tar as construction is concerned
Utah Copper is now practically "a
completed proposition. The coarse
crushing machinery recently installed
has given splendid satisfaction on
some very wet ore recently shipped a.
The mills, assuring the ability of the
company to handle the wet and frozen
ore that is necessarily sent to the mills
during the winter months.
Barring unforeseen contingencies,
therefore Utah Copper may be- con-
sidprrd as able to maintain am annual
production at the rate OF at least 135,-
000,0oO pounds. With copper at IT'S
present price, the company should be
able To- earn from this output not
counting it's equity an the undivided
earnings of Nevada Consolidated, over
$3.50 per share.

the strike last fall the grade of ore
is still below normal: as time goes on.
