"Ah! Take me-"
A sob shook her and she swayed
toward him. He caught her and drew
her very gently to him. i. After a
little she smiled through her tears.
1t was evening and the others had
gone, leaving them alone again.
There was no light but the glow of
embers on the hearth in the little cot
tage that was to be their home for
while. But it was enough for them, in
whose hearts the unquenchable torch
was glowing, revealing beauties and
glories they never had known. They
sat very Close watching-and listen

For the silence of the hills was
ended forever. Throughout that day,
as the iron they had seen flowing ad-

creature that had come into the valley
had been awakening to full life. Sec

song of Steel A terrible song whose
beauty only the understanding might
discern-singfng madly of power and
passion and purpose, of struggle and
death, of birth ana life, of triumph
and steadfast strength.
To the lovers, rich in the knowledge
that comes only after sin and payment
and release, the song came not in vain.

Gould we see it from here?"
! He helped her to chair by the
south window and stood at her side
while she saw.
The night sketched the drama of
steel for her. Again the great fur
mace was setting free its lambert
flood. Under open sheds we're gleam-
ing the sun-bright mouths Of other
furnaces where the iron boiled and
boiled and became steel.

His face was set sternly toward the
mills. For long time he was silent.
What is it," And she broke the
silence with whisper. What do you
see out there?"
Sternness melted into tenderness.
"A parable" he smiled down on her.
"of our lives-of life. Desire and dis

Meeting of County Officials.

Calls have been made for meetings
of the state associations of county
commissioners, county clerks and re-
corders and county assessors to be
held in Helena, January is, 10 and 20.
Each of these bodies has a separate
organization, but it is usually arrang-
ed that they meet at the same time
each year and in the same city so that
there may be an exchange of ideas and
a cooperation in the work that each
association is attempting to accom-
plish.
There are plans for considerable ac-
tivity in the ranks of county commits
sioners and assessors this year and
probably several important subjects of
legislation. will be proposed by them
in time to be considered at the coming
session of Montana solons.

ing circulated among the farmers in
various parts of Montana. A law SIM
liar to the Il now in effect in North
Dakota which provides relief for home
steaders without means to purchase
seed for the coming season, has been
suggested and the plan is meeting with
hearty approval throughout the state.
j.. w. Lenning, superintendent of the
Fort Benton schools received a tele-
phone message from Great Falls last
evening announcing the marriage of
Attorney II. f. Miller, of this city, and
Miss Verna Parks, one Of the teachers
in the local schools. The news came
as a surprise to Fort Benton friends,
who had not been apprised of the in
tentiOn of the young couple to get
married at this time.
Several residents of Kalispell and
vicinity consider themselves the VIC
times of a cruel joke, because a man
who was believed to be dead and for
whose body a diligent search was
made, has been discovered to be alive
and in average good health. He was
supposed to have been drowned in the
Flathead river several weeks ago
while fishing, and the river was drag
ged for his body, but it develops that
the missing man is living in Idaho.

collect a claim against the govern
ment FOR the loss Of cattle on the
Cheyenne Indian reservation. She eS-
Inmates her total loss at about $75,-

Mrs. Brewster had a three-year
lease on a part of the reservation and
used it as grazing land for LOO head
of cattle. That is the number which
she asserts We're counted into the
reservation by Indian Agent Eddy, but
when the cattle were taken out only
900 We're accounted for. The re

In addition to the loss of cattle
through depredations, Mrs. Brewster
claims that she vas Overcharged 3d.
