TALBERT IS BROUGHT BACK.

Special Deputy Mike Buckley OF
Blaine county, has returned from
Canyon City, Colo, with Loren
Talbert. for whom the authorities
have been seeking for nearly a year
on a char &c of horse stealing.
He is now confined in the county
Jail at Chinook. Buckley brought
him directly to Harlem with the in
tention of giving him a preliminary
hearing before Justice Minugh, but
the sheriff demanded that he be
brought to Chinook, so he was TAX
Ell up in an auto the same evening.
Sheriff Buckley and County Attor-
ney Sias were with the authorities
here regarding the case.
According to those who talked
with Talbert he has had an exciting
time lodging the authorities, both
in this county and in Canada since
he left here last fall, and is glad
that the chase is ended. He had in
tended to give himself up to the
Harlem authorities, but before Mike
Buckley reached him he had been
al rested by the sheriff at Canyon
City, Colo.

HE GOT HIS.

A good Montana story is told by
the Rural Educator, a national pub
LEGATION published at Columbus, O.
1t is worth repeating.
A young teacher in Montana ap-
peared before his county superin-
tendent to be examined for certi-
ficate to teach his first school. He
was given the usual long list OF
dreaded questions. The superin-
tendent, being a woman of unusual
compassion. saw how the young
man faltered at the sight of them
so she determined that if his prep
aration had been of the right sort
she would grant him provisional
certificate without the necessity OF
passing through the usual ordeal

UNITED BRETHREN
CHURCH CONVENTION.

The coming convention of the
United brethren Church to be held
in Malta is OF more than ordinary
Importance and will mean much to
thefuture religious development of
Northern Montana. 1t also affords
splendid opportunity to the people
OF Malta and community to attend
and receive the information and in
structlon such an occasion affords.
This church is planning to spend
several hundreddollars in locations
and carry forward the work begun
without delay. The Home Mission
airy board will send the best work
ers of the church to Northern Mon
tana and this section will be crystal
lied into a fine growing conference
in few years.
This will be the first visit of any
bishop to this territory. Bishop
Fout is great preacher and all who
can should not fail to hear all his
sermons Saturday evening at the
tabernacle, Sunday at II and g in
the new court room.
The major part of the Children
day program will be repeated and an
address by Miss Nellie Lynch will
be given Sunday afternoon preced-
ing the address by Dr. Whitney.
1t is desired that all who can,
bring lunch on Sunday and eat din
ner together at the Tabernacle
where tables will be provided.
Don't forget the sunrise prayer
meeting Sunday morning at $50.

"THE ESCAPE"

No motion picture shown has Gre
ated so much comment as this one.
Many think it is one of the most i'm
portant expositions of human life
possible to the scree. 1t has it's
severe critics, too. However, it ar
rouses thought and speculation as
we'll as pictures a vital drama. D.
w. Griffith, who produced the
"Clansman, also produced "The Els
cape These two big productions
are now making records for attend
ance in he theatres in which they
are showing throughout the coun-
try. In 1.-THE Escape" Mr.. Griffith
has delved as deeply into the mys-
teries of life forces as his public
would let him. It remains to be
seen what he will attempt next
certainly "The Escape" is well
worth while from almost any point
of view.

HIGH PRICES FOR BUTTER.

State Dairy Commissioner
Scholes is authority for the state
ment that butter will bring a high
price in Montana this summer as
the ersult of the European war. IN
speaking of this matter, Mr.. Scho.es
said in part:
''The price of butter may in
crease beyond anybody's expecta-
ton, and may advance as high as
so per cent. within short time,
owing to scarcity in the supply.
The immense quantities of butter
imported into America before the
war from Denmark, Norway, Swe-
shipped into this country, and eX-
porting to Australia has begun" ),
Mr.. Scholes said that the butter
imported from Denmark has been
verified to Germany, and that the
product of Norway and Sweden al
so is being used on the continent.
The Australian excess product is
being sent to England. In the past
Australian butter has been sold in
Montana. according to the dairy
commissioner. and labeled "Mon-
tana butter" being passed off as a
product of this state. Mr.. Scholes
continued:
big commission houses in the
east are buying butter in this coun-
try for shipment to Australia, and
the United States will have too pro-
duce her own butter for a while at
least, and Montana will consume
her own product There is a splen-
did opportunity here for Montana
butter producers to gain permanent
possession of the home market"

CHAPTER XIII.
The Duel.

ALONE, I soon became prey to
"a certain disquieting thoughts.
Summed up they resolved
themselves into condition
of certainty which admitted Of but one
aspect-the charming countess was in
love with Amberdale. And the shock
ing part of it all was that she was in
love with him prior to her separation
from Tarnowsy! l felt cold per-
SEPARATION start out all over my body as
this condition forced itself upon me.
He was the man. He had been the
man from the beginning. My heart
was like lead for the rest of the day,
and very curiously for leaden thing
it was subject to pain.
Just before dinner Britton, after in
specting me out Of the corner of his
eye for some time, advised me to try a
little brandy.
"You look seedy, sir" he said, with
concern in his voice. "A cold setting
in perhaps, sir"
l tried the brandy, but not because

The countess was abroad very early
the next morning. discovered her in
the courtyard, giving directions to
Max and Rudolph. who were doing
some spading in the garden, She
looked very bright and fresh and en-
ticing in the light of an early moon
and was not only pleased, but as
tonished, having been led to believe
all my life that woman, no matter
how pretty she may be, appears at he,

She started. Has she never men
toned Lord Amberdale to your" she
asked.
"Amberdale" l repeated, with a
queer sinking of the heart "No, Mrs
Titus. An Englishman?"
She was mistress Of herself once
more. In very degage manner she
informed me that his lordship, a most
attractive and honorable young Eng
lishman, had been one of Aline's warm
, est friends at the time of the divorce
proceedings. But Of course there was
nothing in that! They had been good
friends for years, nothing more, and
he was Il perfect dear.
But she couldn't fool me. l could see
that there was something working at
the back of her mind, but whether she
was distressed or gratified was not
by way of knowing.
"I've never heard her mention Lord
Amberdale." said l.
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Had
but known, the mere fact that the
countess had not spoken Of his lord
ship provided her experienced mother
with an excellent reason for believing
that there was something between
them. She abruptly brought the con.
versation to close and left me, saying
that she was off for her beauty nap.

Ruling that every action of the
Synod of Montana was regular and
according to the church law, the
General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain church at their regular SEES
sion at Rochester, N. Y, sustained
the action of the lower body in dis
solving the pastoral relations OF
Rev. F. w. Pool and the First
Presbyterian church of Havre. The
case was tried before the judicial
commission of the assembly, con-
stituting the highest authority in
the church, and the finding of the
commission was approved by the
church.

The good people of Harlem are
making great preparations for
their big celebration next Monday.
A committee of aldermen of that
enterprising town had one of the
principal streets graded and put in
splendid shape for the occasion.
When the people living on another
street saw what was being done
they got busy and hired a grading
outfit for a day and had their
street made the same as their
neighbors. Nothing small about
Harlemites when it comes to show
ing outsiders clean city,
