The Worthless
Lover
BY CALVIN HENDRICKS

Copyright, 1921 Western Newspaper Union.
Since Lucy Merton's marriage to
George Gray, five months before, she
had not sent any money to Frank
Bennett, but she still went to the let
ter box at the postoftice to look for
his letters When there were none
she drew a deep breath of thanksgly-
ing.
Lucy Merton had lived with her
mother in the little old frame house
in Jouk, a fourishlng city, where
Frank Bennett wooed her. That was
ten years ago, and she was a girl of
twenty
Frank had gone west-he was trav-
cling mainland came back periodi-
cally and always the engagement was
resumed Lucy knew no other men;
she was tied down to her invalid moth
er, and hardly left the house, except
for shopping And so Frank had no
rivals.
Some women are like Lucy; when
they love, nothing can upset their
faith In their lovers instructive good
ness. Lucy felt that Frank had new
er had a chance. About that time
she began to lend him money-small
sums, pitifully scraped together out
Of her scanty income,
So matters had drlfted. At last
Frank had gone west, He wrote home
glowing accounts of his opportunities.
Would Lucy scrape together as much
as she could for him to invest in land2
1t was a splendid chance for both of
them. -Four or five times year he
wrote to her, and every time she sent
something. She made herself believe
that Frank wrote the truth. 1t was
five years since she had seen him;
but when he wrote 1t was always as
her lover.
Then suddenly her life had changed.
Her mother died, and she met George
Gray, a young architect of the town.
He wooed her persistently, In spite
Of her love for Frank, Lucy felt drawn
toward her new sutton. Gradually she
fell in love with him. This change of
heart suddenly revealed Frank Ben
nett in his true colors. Lucy now felt
that she had escaped from an intoler-
able slavery.
The Grays moved to distant Sec
tion Of the town, and Lucy sent no
more money. But for years she had
letter box at the postoffice, that her
mother might not know of Franks
letters, and the lease of 1t had several
months to run. Whenever she passed
curiosity drew her to the letter-box,
and whenever she saw letter inside,
she could not help taking it out and
reading 1t.
Her first refusal to send money was
answered with urgent pleas and prom
lses Of marriage. Lucy did not write
again, not even to tell the fellow that
she was married already. The next
letter was indignant, the next abu-
slve. Then threats followed.
She was seated upon the porch OF
her new home when a man entered the
gate and came quickly up the path.
1t was Frank Bennett. Lucy knew
him at once. He had grown much old
err and looked dissIpated.
He assembled the steps Of the porch,
and, taking off his hat with a flourish,
stood watching her.
I'm selling books" he announced.
81 have here" he touched a package
ia complete guide for the house
keeper. 1t is very useful for young
wives. Makes their husbands contented
and keeps their love"
81 don't want any books" said Lucy
in a strained voice.
Bennett, without answering, unfast-
ened the package.

BALD MOUNTAIN.

S. f. Peel, of this city, manager of
the Montana Power company in the
Occur d'Alene district, returned a few
days ago from a business trip to the
st. Joe section in the vicinity of the
Taft tunnel of the Milwaukee. He
stated that the Bald Mountain Mining
company, which recently made an
important strike of copper ore, is pre-
pairing to begin shipments. A loading
bin is being constructed about half a
mile east of the Taft tunnel, to which
a spur is being laid by the railroad
company. using an old construction
grade. The Bald Mountain property
is about a mile and a half from the
railroad to which the ore is delivered
by teams. Mr. Peel did not visit the
mine and had no knowledge regarding
the amount of ore in sight or it's grade
but the preparation being made for
shipments indicates that it is an en-
terprise of considerable Importance.

IDAHO MINES LEASE.

pany last Saturday evening the fol-

elected: L. l.. Sweet. president; c. A.
Jollif, vice president; Frank Man
eglia, treasurer; w. J. Stratton, sec
rotary; Max Fountain, director An
assessment of 10 cents per share was
levied upon the outstanding stock.
The funds derived from this assess
ment will be used to further equip the
property and to carry out more ex-
tensive plan of development. The
company has a lease on large block
of ground owned by the Federal Min

of the old Frisco group. The company
has a small mill, and is understood to
have a large shoot of ore which will
be made productive upon the compile

BETTER ORE ON DEEP
LEVEL OF THE MORNING
ACCORDING TO REPORT

According to reports which are
believed to be reliable. but which
lack official confirmation. the ore
shoot on the 225O level of the
Morning mine is showing up in
about the same dimensions as on
the levels above and fully as good
and probably of better grade
This level is 1850 feet below No. s
or main working tunnel level and
1900 feet below the apex of the
vein. The contract to sink the
shaft 200 feet. or to the 1850 level,
is nearing completion, and it is
expected that within 60 days the
crosscut on the new level will
have been completed to the vein.
The showing of ore on the 2250
indicates that it will be found I'M
impaired on the new level, and in
fact that it will continue to a
much greater depth, all of which
is highly reassuring for the future
of the Morning and for deep min
ing in this district

all of the lead it produced except that
part we cared to reserve for sales on
the Pacific coast The contract ex-
