that moment of agony and fear, he
saw. among the upturned faces in
the street, the face of old man Open

And the old mans shrill voice was
borne up to him, clarion and horrible:

Odeskalki sprang from the win
dow. The cries and the reYerbera-
tons Of the fire bells seemed to com
bine in one awful rushing shudder.
The crowd fought cruelty to get back
from the place where Odeskalki
would land. Old man Openta did not
move. He did not seem to realize his
danger. He stood as if rooted, with
upturned, malevolently smiling face.
1t seemed to those who saw the
catastrophe that the old man was
literally driven into the street.

It. happened that the train for
which Orlof was waiting at the New
York Central's 125th street station
was carrying Two young people 10
Greenwich on the first stage of their
honeymoon. 1t was curious that the
bridegroom was the very man whose
generosity had been the cause of
Openta's fall and Of all his subse-
quent disasters. If the bridegroom
had known this he might have been
moved to tears, for he was big and
gentle and kind. But he did not know
it, and Openta did not give it
thought. He was waiting on the very
edge of the platform for the train.
He did not know where he had pass
ed the night or the morning nor how
he had come to the edge of the plat
form. He considered to have gotten
there as the only piece of good luck
that he had ever had. That was all.

Prices Of Gasoline

costs me only $21.60 for filling both

The only places she a buy it are
the drug stores. When she wants a

Fortune for Sugar 6eets

Billings, Oct. ga fortune will be

next Saturday, when the Billings Su-
gar company makes the first consider
able payment for sugar beets deliver
ed to the Billings factory between
September Is and October Is. But
slightly less than the average payday
at the factory during the beet hauling
season, the sum to be paid out to the
beet raisers will amount to $4OO, 900.
One payment has already been
made this year, for beets delivered
between September 1 and September
Is, amounting to about $4,000, but
the major portion went back to the
company for seed furnished the grow

New Variety Of Wheat

A spring wheat that yields from two

any other variety and that natures

the $1,000 prize offered for the best
wheat in America, that is declared to
be the best variety that ever went

Touring mills, and that has other fea-
lures to commend it, is worth the
attention of Montana growers, and to
attract it, State Grain Inspector J. E.
Templton has collected considerable
data on the new variety.
It has been named Marquis. Sam.

wheat he has cen Montana growers
desiring to try this new variety can
obtain from MI. Templeton the names
of Canadian and Montana growers
who have seed for sale.
r. M. Hillman, a Canadian grower,
writes MI. Templeton the Marquis va
riety els earlier than the earliest va
ritey of wheat. and the yield per acre
is much greater than that of any 9th
er wheat raised in my experience. The
average yield is from ten to fifteen
bushels more per acre than of the 9TH
er grades l have raised. Another char
acteristic which is or great advan-
tage to the farmer is the fact that
the berry clings to the husk much
more tenaciously than any other va
riety of wheat, thus saving the loss in
handling which is so apt to occur in
any thoroughly dried wheat."-Helena

THE JOB OF GOVERNOR

That there is something more to the
job of being governor of Montana or
any other state than getting in the
limelight on public occasions there is
abundant evidence. In fact there is
SO much more to the position, that if
the other duties and responsibilities
were known, it is possible that some
ambitious men would think twice be-
fore striving to attain the place.
There's more in the job of governor
than leading the grand march at an
inaugural ball, riding a white horse

state, attending conferences with 9th,
or executives, making speeches at con
ventions of numerous societies and or
g~anizations, writing for papers any
where and everywhere about the
wealth and opportunities of the state

fee than any of the things above
enumerated.
Take the case of the mar who was
pardoned the other day by Governor
Stewart, and whose action was af-
frmed by the board of pardons. This
man was convicted and sem to prison,
where he served several years. The
per in the case show that he was
innocent, and he proved it to the sat-
the case. The crime of which this
man was convicted was a heinous one,
and it would have been the easy way
to have allowed his appeal to go un-
needed. Taking it up and acting up
on it meant, as all the papers in the
case were not printed, that the gov
ernor by his action was liable to Sc
we're adverse criticism on the ground
that he is 'chicken-hearted."
Take the case of the girl whose let
ter to Governor Stewart is one that
might soften the hardest heart. Yet
after an investigation it may be prov.
ed that the man was justly punished
and that he has not yet paid the pen
atty. In such event Stewart, the gov
ernor, must deny the appeal, much as
Stewart, the man, would like to grant
It.

Issues Thanksgiving Proclamation

Helena, Oct. 24.-Gov. Stewart to-
day issued his first Thanksgiving
proclamation in which Thursday, No.
vember 81, is designated as a day
that should be devoted to gratitude.
The proclamation says in part:
"From the time of its first observ.
ance by the Plymouth colony in 1921,
Thanksgiving day has become more
and more an event in the life of the
American people, until today it is rec
ognized throughout the land as a day
specifically given I'VE to acknowledg.
ment by prayer and praise of the
blessings conferred upon the people
by Almighty God.
"In Montana u people approach
this annual observance with a full
realization of the benefits that have
come to them in most generous meas
ure. In every material sense they
have prospered. On the farms, in the
industries, and in all of the avenues
Of commerce there have been evi.
dences of the favor and bounty of an
All.wise Providence.
I'm all of those things that make
for civic righteousness and the lasting
good of a people and a state, Montana

her churches and schools has widened
and there has been a notable increase
in the organizations tending to raise
the standard Of citizenship and make
of ours a better state in which to
