 "Mommies daughter" laughed a lit tie and instinctively made change in the subject.
 I've got to go in and wash the dishes" she said, stepping back from him. "Of course nothing was done in the cabin, and I've been doing a little housekeeping. I guess the dishwater is hot by this time-if it hasn't all boiled away"
 Ward, as a matter of course. tied his horse to the fence and went into the cabin with her. He also asked her to stake him to a dish towel, which she did after q good deal of rummaging. He stood with his hat on the back of his head, cigarette between his lips, and wiped the dishes with much ap- parent enjoyment. He objected strong
 
 meant to serub the floor, but when he found her quite obdurate he changed his method without in the least degree yielding his point, though for diplomat ic reasons he appeared to yield.
 He carried water from the creek and filled the teakettle, the big iron pot and both pails Then, when Billy Louise had turned her bac's upon him while she looked in a dark corner for the mop, he suddenly seized her under the arms and lifted her upon the table, and before she had finished her astonished gaspings he caught up a pail of water and sloshed it upon the floor under her. Then he grinned in his triumph.
 Billy Louise gave squeal of conster- nation and then sat absolutely still, staring round eyed through the door way. Ward stepped back-even his eomposure was slightly jarred-and twisted his lips amusedly.
 Hello" he said after a few blank seconds. "You missed some of it, didn't you?" His tone was mildly commiser- ating. Will you come in?"
 Moo, thank you, I don't believe will The speaker looked in, however, saw Billy Louise perched upon the ta- ble and took off his hat. He was well plastered with dirty water that ran down and left streaks of mud behind. 'I must have got off the road" he said I'm looking for Jason Meilke's ranch" Billy Louise tucked her feet farther under her skirts and continued to stare dumbly. Ward, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, stepped consid- erately between her and the stranger so that his broad shoulders quite hid her from the mans curious stare
 You've struck the right place." he said calmly. This Is it." He picked up another pail of water and sloshed it upon the wet floor to rinse off the mud "Is-ah-Mrs Meilke i'm" One could not accuse the young man of craning, but he certainly did try to get another glimpse of the person on the table and failed because of Ward.
 She's down in the meadow" Billy Louise murmured.
 "She's down in the meadow" Ward repeated to the bespattered young man. You just go down past the stable and

One girl has plan which has worked out admirably. She never writes any of her troubles to her peo- pie. She decided when she started out in life for herself that she would never write of her worries. If she were In any real difficulty she would use the telegraph And she would use it only to solve problem which could not be solved in any other way.
 So far she has been able to work out all her problems without writing of her worries. She has never teIe- graphed. because she has found that with earnest effort she has been able to work out all of her own difficulties,

The Mystery of the Missinq.


 HHEN Charlie Fox rode down to " the Wolverine a month or SC
 later, tied his horse under the shed and came up to the cabin as though he knew of no better place in all the world; when he greeted "mom- mie' as though she were something precious in his sight and talked with her about the things she was most in- terested in and actually made her feel as if he were immensely interested all so, Billy Louise simply could not help admiring him and liking him for his frank good nature and his kindness She had never before met a man just like Charlie Fox, though she had known many who were what Ward once called 'parlor broke"
 1t was not until Charlie was leaving that he gave Billy Louise a hint that his errand was not yet accomplished She walked down with him to where his horse was tied and so gave him a bloom against the dull brown of the chance to speak what was in his mind You know, I hate to mention little worries before your mother" he said "Those pathetic eyes of hers make me ashamed to bother her with thing. But am worried, Miss Louise came over to ask you if you've seen anything of four calves of ours. know you ride a good deal through the hills They disappeared a week ago, and l can't find any trace of them. I've been looking all through the hills, but can't locate them"
 Billy Louise had not seen them ei ther. and she begged for particulars Il don't see how they could get away from your cove" she said, unless your bars were down."
 "The bars were all right It was last Friday, l think. Pm not sure They were in the little meadow above the house. you see. l was away that night and Aunt Martha is a little hard of hearing. She wouldn't hear anything unless there were considerable noise l came home the next forenoon-I was over to Seaback sand the bars were In place then. Aunt Martha had not been up the gorge nor had any one come to the ranch while 1 was gone. So you see. Miss Louise, here's very pretty mystery"
 You think they were driven off don't you?" Billy Louise asked a ques- tion with the words and made a state, ment of it with her tone, which was a trick of hers.
 Charlie Fox shook his head. but his eyes did not complete the denial. Miss Louise, I'd work every other theory to death before I'd admit that possibility. 1 don't know all of my neighbors so very well, but 1 should hesitate a long. long time"
 Tt needn't have been a neighbor. There are lots of strange men passing through the country. Did you look for tracks?"
 'I did not. I didn't want to admit that possibility. I decline to admit 1t now" The chin of Charlie Fox squar- ed perceptibly. so that Billie Louise caught a faint resemblance to Marthy in his face.

The task of supervising and stim- ulating the production of all ordnance supplies Is now in the hands of Guy Eastman Tripp, whose appointment as chief of the production division of the ordnance bureau was recently an- nounced by Major General Crozier.
 Mir. Tripp. who for six years has been chairman of the board of the Westinghouse Electric company. prob- ably has had as close associations as any man in the country with the de- velopment of electric traction. He started his career in railroading when he was seventeen, and went over to the electrical branch when lie was twenty-five.
 Mir. Tripp was born in Wells. Me. in 1865. He entered the employ of the Eastern railroad before its eonsolida- ton with the Boston X Maine. Later he was employed by the Thomson Houston Electric company on the work of changing the West End Street rail-

GUILTY. RELEASED
MAN BROUGHT BACK FROM
CALIFORNIA AT GREAT EX-
PENSE. is ON PAROLE

Leopold Monich, who forged the
name of the Rev. Father R. Pecoul,
Catholic priest in charge of this par
ish, to check for SIS which he cash
ed at a local bank three years ago
next November, is again at large.
After serving % months in a Cali
fornia penitentiary for forgery and
being brought here the first of Aug
ust to answer this charge, he pleaded
guilty, after being in Jail several
weeks, and was released pending
good behavior.
Monich was arrested at Folsom
prison, California, the day his SEN
tence there expired and brought to
Moscow by Charles Summerfield,
special deputy sheriff sent after him
by Governor Alexander. He did not
deny his guilt, but offered to make
restitution.
He was permitted to plead guilty
and Judge E. c. Steele, of the district
court, sentenced him to serve from
5 to IA years in the penitentiary, but
ordered execution of the sentence
suspended pending good behavior.
Monich will not be permitted to leave
Latah county without permission. He
is an accomplished musician, a man
of fine education, claims to be a
Frenchman and when here moved in
the best society He is not yet 25
years old. His excuse for committing
forgery was that at is so easy to
get the money that way and it SEEM
ed a shame not to take it.
