Some Interesting information.

4 MONTH passed away without
the occurrence of anything of
~ a startling nature. Ross vas
go busy with his school. and ev-
erything was moving along so smooth
ly with him that he almost forgot that
he was surrounded by men who would
take his life in a minute if his identity
vas only known.
He and George Stevens got along to-
gether very well, although it was APP
parent that neither Of them had any
special liking for the other. They We're
too dissimilar, too far separated in ev-
cry way even to be friends. How
ever, what mattered it to Ross whether
or not he had the friendship of the
husband so long as he a sure of
that of the wife? And what mattered
it to George whether Or lot he had
the friendship Of Ross so long as he
had his weekly allowance of board
money.
SO things were moving along in
this %uneventful name when one
evening, as Ross was returning from
school, he met Jake Martin on the
road. 1t was the first time they had
met since that evening when Ross
first came to Stevens to board. Never
theless, they recognized each other at
a glance. and though Ross was not
particularly cordial, old Jake was eff
fusively SO.
"Howdy, young Teller; lowdy, how
dy," he said i'll greeting. ''Pow'ful glad
to see you, shore. How yo' comm on:'
Every we'll, l thank you!" Ross re-
piled. How do you do"

She knew that it would be folly to
offer objections even if she wished. SO
she handed him the basket.
1T is kind of you," she said. ito put
yourself to this trouble"
Not ut ALL" he replied. ut would
be ~disgraceful in me if l didn't"
She returned to the house to prepare
breakfast, and he went on with the
chores. He felt that he was doing his
simple duty by her as a lady. She felt
that he was doing her IL great kind
ness. He was right, aud in a sense
she was right.
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1915-12-17

George" she said sadly, that bust
ness you came back to see about near
nothing good if those two men had
anything to do with it."
Bending his head lower still, he NUT
tered:
"Reckon l couldn't keep them men
from bein' thar"
mo, but you could have kept your
self from being there"
Guess l got a right to 60 whar I
please"
She drew n little nearer and tried to
look in his face. He continued to tug at
his boots. although he could have had
them off long ago. He was fooling
with them merely as an excuse for
keeping his face hidden until she should
go away. Earnestly but kindly she
said:
George, you won't look me in the
face. Something has gone wrong with
you tonight, and it is something seri-
GUS. You act like Il man who has done
something of which he is ashamed"
He gave a start and raised his head,
and for one moment his eyes met hers.
The next instant his face colored, his
eyes wavcrcd and again his head
dropped.
She had guessed the truth. That
night he had done something Of which
he was ashamed and which caused
him to dread the presence Of his wife.
But she had not guessed all the truth,

thing that would not only make him
dread the presence of his wife. but
would make him dread, with fear and
trembling, the power and majesty Of

1t was with a heavy heart Minerva
retired to bed that night. and it was
hours after when she closed her eyes
in sleep. There was a burden of trou-
bic on her mind and a dread of COM

found that George was gone. He had

Minerva went back to the bed and
