GOV. STEWART OPERATED ON.

Butte, Oct. Ex-Governor S. V,
Stewart will be operated upon for ap-
pendicitis tomorrow in this city.
Governor Stewart submitted to an
examination today at local hospital
and the diagnosis of his Helena ply
sician was confirmed. The governor
last week suffered from inflammation
of the appendix.
His condition is not serious and an
operation, he was advised today, is
not imperative. He was told, how
ever, that there might be recurrence
of the attack making an operation
necessary later on. He accordingly
made up his mind to have an opera
tion at this time rather than to take
chances in respect to one in the fu-
ture.

THE LOVE GAMBLER
BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water

Copyright, 1919, Star Company
BY a coincidence, Samuel Leigh
ton met Walter jefferson on his
way uptown that afternoon.
Incensed as he was by his ex-
chauffeur's behavior, he felt sud
denly indignant with Jefferson. Man
is an unreasonable creature, and
Leighton had swift desire to vent
his irritation upon the first person
he met. Moreover Jefferson was in
directly concerned with the matter
that had destroyed his equanimity
for had he not informed Helen
Goddard that he was going to in
vestigate" Smiths past?
Good a ( t ern o o n" jefferson
greeted the older man unbanely. Il
am just back from Baltimore"
so l infer" was the blunt re-
joinder. II tried to call you up
during your absence"
"Ah? Jefferson's expression in
dicated interest. WAS there any
thing especial you wanted to say?"
There was-but there is not
pow-except," he added, that
am at present without a chauffeur
thanks to the inability of people
in general to mind their own af-
fairs"
Walter Jefferson gasped. Had
Smith then slipped away before he
could find out who he was?"
Indeed" he explained. II am
sorry. To tell the truth, l had
hoped in a few days to give you a
little information about this man.
1 know his name is not Smith i"
And what if it is not?" Leigh
ton burst forth, raising his voice to
make himself heard above the roar
of the subway. Whose business is
that, pray?'
A Change of Manner.
Walter Jefferson had always re-
garded this elderly gentleman as
a mild and courteous individual
yet here he was challenging him in
n way that astounded him.
He tried to laugh. why" he
admitted, ut is nobody's business
in a way-of course, but it so
happens that l met that chap
some years ago at the house of a
cousin of mine. Unfortunately she
was not at home when I was down
in Baltimore, so 1 could not get
into touch with her as 1 hope to
do later-for she expects to be in
New York shortly. 1 beg you to
believe, however, that my chief
concern in this matter was that l
was afraid this fellow might prove
as dishonest as the disappearance
of a piece of your daughters jew
elry would lead one to suspect"
my daughters jewelry!" Leigh
ton exclaimed. Did she mention
it's disappearance to you?"
mo, indeed Jefferson FASTENED
to reply.
Then who told you about it?"
The pair were holding to straps
in the crowded express and the
lurching of the train brought the
older mans face almost in collision
| with Jefferson's. The young man
| felt awkward and ridiculous.

the thing through so scornfully. But

corting her diagonally across from

Virginia must see us. One quick,
scornful glance and then, fussing
audibly about the draft, Virginia
changed places with Sheldon so that
she sat with her back to us. That
she should turn away like this and

have seemed deadly insult to Pat.
He changed color, but made no COM
ment.
AS If by mutual consent, we raced
through our lunch and got out Of

had planned it. we stepped into a
taxi and rolled off toward the park.

in a grim tone to match the lines
about his mouth.

YOU thought it worth while until

my employ of his own volition, I
have nothing more to say about
him or his affairs one way or the
other. So if you have any investi-

you referred to just now-you will
pursue them for your own gratifi-

I will assure you here and now
that the man you are bounding is
