Eleanori Eleanor
But John Verify had stepped FOR
ward sternly, and taking the bride IN
his hand. Don't trouble. Miss Peggy"
he said in the same clear voice.
Your sister cannot marry Captain
Drayton because-he Is a married
man already"
White-faced and indignant, Eleanor
turned and fronted him. You

tradict him, TO silence him. but her
voice failed her.

Verify gently. eve viii ask him." and
he pointed toward where he knew
the cowardly deceiver was lurking.
But Eleanor's white hand slipped
from the pommel which she had been
grasping, and with a heart-breaking
little cry she flung It ont despairingly
toward George Farnham and slipped
unconscious 70 the ground.
The horse and man in the sh-siow
slipped quietly away.
"She does not love him really:
don't believe It. It was his horrible

Miss Peggy, don't think me unfeel-

They had met. these two. in the
library before breakfast on the fol
lowing morning, and Peggy. after a
sleepless night, had determined TO
ease John Verity's heart II possible.

''Yes. you, Peggy, darling. and

thing else in the world to say you

For minutes Peggy stared at him,
and her brain seemed to whirl round
and round. Then quite suddenly
everything seemed to grow clear and
still, and coming close to him she
looked into his face with a great
amazement.
"Why-why," she said in an awed
whisper, q verify believe I have been

the trouble after half an hour Of
perfect happiness.
Peggy dear, shall tell you some
thing?"
YES" said Peggy.
Did you happen to notice Farm
hams face when Eleanor turned on
US last night?"
NO" declared Peggy, Y saw only
Eleanor's."
We'll, there was love on his face

a smiling nod she hurried OF to IN

continued, his seriousness suddenly
vanishing In a smile, that IL she has

So the awkward moment ended in
a laugh, and Peggy and the million
sire" went In to breakfast the best
OF friends.
Il was on the third day OF Mr..
Verity's visit that Mrs. Testers
wishes and Peggy's plans began to
look hopeful To everyone's relief
Except, perhaps, Eleanors, and she
said nothing). Captain Drayton did
not appear. Business called him TO
London. he had told them And with
a frank simplicity that was as de-
fant Of criticism as II she had boen
ton to John Verify.
Peggy watched me change of
affairs with delight, but with, at the
same time. an inexplicable sinking
Of the heart.
81 suppose I'm tired" she said to
herself impatiently. ct is silly Of
me to be so dumpy over it, though.
And, perhaps, after sll. do miss Mr..
Verity's company little, though
am so glad he Is falling in love with
Eleanor. It Is Just little dull and
heating to be tagging round working
in this sun shall feel better soon"
Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and
even Wednesday afternoon passed,
MIR. Verity1s last day-and Eleanor
had not announced that he had made
her a proposal Of marriage
Does he love her, or doesn't he?"
Peggy asked herself nervously. 'T
don't know how he can help himself.
Perhaps he is waiting till the very
last evening"
George Farnham was dining with
them that Wednesday evening, and
his eyes followed Eleanor with some
thing OF the expression of a faithful
dog. To Mrs. Lester and to Peggy
George was simply the boy who had
grown up within a mile Of Vendles,
the boy they had always known; but
John Verify saw more clearly into
its value.
After dinner, when the Colonel had
slipped away to his beloved study,
and Mrs. Lester was absorbed in
new novel, Eleanor, who all the day
had seemed by turns unusually
spirited and suddenly distract,
strolled away on the pretext OF writ
ing a note. Peggy, left with George
and Mr.. Verify, sang few old Eng
lish songs at their request, and then,
lured by the beauty Of the twilight
garden, went over to the window.
Let us go out shall WEI" sug-
gested John Verify. 81 am sure Mrs.
Lester Will be quite glad to read her
book in peace" And holding his
hand to Peggy he helped her peggy,
who was always helping other peo-
ple) over the top step from the long
window to the terrace, while George
Farnham followed them into the
fresh air.
Slowly, desultorfly, after having
dawdled to watch the evening prim-
roses, they strolled away past the
gardens and down the avenue till
they came to the lodge gates, and,
passing through them, stepped out
on to the public road.
There's a train coming through
the cutting" remarked George, 1--WE
can see It from that gate" And
crossing the road they leaned upon
the opposite gate and watched the
fiery monster" rounding q corner a

Would Utilize Potato Crop

According to a news item from Kali
ispell, the proposition to establish a
potato fake factory in that city has
been abandoned. Christ Best, who
made a trip to Germany for the Kalis'
pell chamber Of commerce to deter.
mine the feasibility of starting a po'
tato flake factory, has filed a com
plete report with that body. The
only plant that could be run on a pay.
ing basis would be a cooperative fac.
tory set up by a number of farmers,
AS the Flathead potato has not suffi'
cient starch to form the flakes, the
food could not be made for human
consumption, thus the stock food
would be the only manner in which
the proposition could be made worth
while.
While travelling about Germany, Mr.
Best looked into several other manu-.
featuring industries, facts about
which he also included in his report.
He stated that within a year it was
probable that he would erect an Ov.
amltine factory. This is a nutritious
drink which is fast taking the place
of coffee in European countries.

The Floweree Saloon Case

Another chapter in the Floweree sa-
loon case was closed by the supreme
court granting a writ of prohibition
restraining the district court of Chou
teau county from entertaining juris-
diction of an appeal of certain resi-
dents of Floweree from the action of
the board of county commissioners in
granting a saloon license to John
Hackshaw.
The statute provides that in appeals
of such a nature they shall be taken
and heard in the same manner as ap-
peals from justice courts to the dis.
trict court. The protestants, the court
finds, failed to comply with the re-
quirement for serving a copy of the
notice of appeal on the adverse party
or his attorney, and by filing the or
iginal notice of appeal and undertake
ing with the county board.
The case has been a subject of con-
troversy for several months past.
When Mr.. Hackshaw first applied to
the county authorities for a saloon Ii
cense at Floweree, the application
was refused. A later application &C.
companied by a petition signed by a
number of alleged fr%eeholders, was
granted. Opponents of the establish
ment of a saloon at Floweree filed a
protest and appealed the matter to the
district court, but it is decided by the
supreme court that they failed to
comply with certain necessary legal
formalities in the proceedings.

Woman Candidate for Governor

Salem, Ore, Jan. 28.-Those who
have been watching the course of pol.
itics at the state house for the past
year r predicting that Miss Fern
Hobbs, the private secretary of Gov.
ernor West, who led the invading
forces to Copperfield, is not an unlike.
ly candidate. There is nothing in the
constitution of the state of Oregon to
prevent a woman from being elected
governor if she can get the votes,
since Oregon has granted the right of
suffrage to women.
Miss Hobbs has been much in the
public eye, in a political manner, and
it is declared that Governor West,
who has announced he will not run
again. purposes to support his secre.
tary to succeed himself.

the buyer really made his purchase
at cost price making no allowance for
