the occasional soft tread of some
servant, he twisted himself about in
his chair and looked around. Who
were these Sherrills? Who was Cor
vet, and what was his relation to the
Sherrills? What, beyond all, was their
and Corvet's relation to Alan Conrad
to himself? The shock and confusion
he had felt at the nature of his recep-
tion in Corvet's house, and the strange
ness Of his transition from his little
Kansas town to place and people
such as this, had prevented him from
inquiring directly from Constance
Sheriff. as to that; and. on her part,
she had assumed, plainly, that he
already knew and need not be told.
He Strengthened and looked about,
then got up, as Constance Sheriff.
came back into the room.
"Father Is not here just now" she
said "We weren't sure from your
telegram exactly at what hour you
would arrive, and that was why I
waited at Mr.. Corvet's to be sure we
wouldn't miss you. I have telephoned
father, and he's coming home at once"
She hesitated an instant in the door
way, then turned to &c out again.
''Miss Sheriff." he said.
She halted. "Yes."
You told me you had been waiting
for me to come and explain my con-
nection with Mr.. Corvet. WE'LL
can't do that; that is what 1 came
here hoping to find out"
She came back toward him slowly.
. "What do you mean?" she asked.
He fought down and controlled
resolutely the excitement in his voice,
as he told her rapidly the little he
knew about himself.
He could not tell definitely how she
was affected by what he said. She
flushed slightly, following her first
start Of surprise after he had begun
to speak: when he had finished, he
saw that she was little pale.
"Then you don't know anything
about Mr.. Corvet at ALL" she said.
"No; until got his letter sending
for me here, I'd never seen or heard
his name"
She was thoughtful for a moment.
THANK you for telling me-" she said.
"1'u tell my father when he comes"
"Your father is-?" he ventured. /.
She understood now that the name
Of Sheriff. had meant nothing to him.
"Father Is Mr.. Corvet's closest friend,
and his business partner as WELL" she
explained. 3
He thought she was going to tell
him something more about them; but
she seemed to decide to leave that for
her father to do. She crossed to the
big chair beside the crate and seated
herself. As she sat. looking. at him.

her elbows resting on the arm Of the

the station, pricked in Alan's veins,
and hastily he dropped the window to
his right and gazed out. The lake,
as he had known since his geography
days, lay to the east Of Chicago;
therefore that void out there beyond
the park was the lake or, at least, the
harbor. "A different air seemed to
come from It.; sounds Suddenly
1t all was shut off; the taxicab,
swerving little. was dashing between
business blocks; row of buildings
had risen again upon the right; they
broke abruptly to show him a wooden
walled chasm In which flowed the
river full Of ice with tug dropping
its smokestack as 1t cut below the
bridge which the cab crossed; build
ings on both sides again; then, to the
right, a roaring, heaving crashing ex-
panse.
The sound, Alan knew, had been
coming to him as an undertone for
many minutes; now it overwhelmed,
swallowed all other sound. 1t was
great, not loud; all sound which Alan
had heard before, except the soughing
OF the wind over his prairies, came
from one point; even the monstrous
city murmur was centered in compari-
son with this. Over the lake, as over
the land, the soft snowflakes lazily
foated down, scarcely stirred by the
slightest breeze; that roar was the
voice Of the water, that awful power
its own. IN
Alan choked and gasped for breath,
his pulses pounding in his throat; he
had snatched off his hat and, leaning
out Of the window sucked the lake air
In his lungs. There had been nothing
to make him expect this overwhelming
crush Of feeling. The lake-he had
thought Of it, Of course, as great
body Of water, an interesting sight
fer prairie boy to see; that was all.
No physical experience in all his
memory had affected him like this !;
and 1t was without warning; the
strange thing that had stirred within
him as the car brought him to the
Drive downtown was strengthened
now thousand-fold; it amazed, half
frightened, half dizzied him. Now, as
the motor suddenly swung around a
corner and shut the sight of the lake
from him, Alan sat back breathless.
The car swerved to the east curb
about the middle Of the block and
came to stop. The house before
which 1t had halted was large stone
house Of quiet, good design; it was
some generation older, apparently,
than the houses on each side of It,
which were brick and terra Gotta of
recent fashionable architecture; Alan
only glanced at them long enough to
get that impression before he opened
the cab door and got out; but as the
cab drove away, he stood beside his
suitcase looking up at the old house
which bore the number given in Ben
jamin Corvet's letter, then around at
the other houses and back to that
again.
The neighborhood obviously pre-
cluded the probability Of Corvet's be-
ing merely lawyer-a go-between.
He must be some relative;. the ques-
tion ever present In Alan's thought
since the receipt Of the letter, but held
I in allegiance, as to the possibility and
nearness OF Corvet's relation to him,
took sharper and more exact form
now than he had dared to let 1t take
before. Was his relationship to

PUSSYFOOT TACTICS.

Pussyfoot tactics to discredit certain candidates
upon the Republican ticket has been adopted by
which it is hoped to defeat them for election. This
method of attack upon well-qualifed men is as.
old as politics itself and will be of no effect other
than to bring more votes to those men attacked,
when the falsehoOds are shown up. One of the
amusing tales being told by a prominent Demo-
crat is to the effect that James Smith cannot
read or write. Friends of "Jim" who received
most interesting letters from him while ne was
in service in the World war can answer this lie.
Another tale told, by a man who has received
favor in the county from Republican voters, is.
that the candidates for the legislature are in
competent. Maybe he is telling these tales be-
cause he is disgruntled over some petty office
not handed him. He tells of the danger of attempt
ing to change the present tax laws by legislation.
Does he prefer to go on paying an unequal burden
OF taxes for years to come, just to satisfy a per-
sonal grudge? That may be the reason for op-
posing the constitutional amendment, although
from the position of an observer other reasons
might be assigned. Underhanded tales of de-
fciency will not defeat good men for office, and
only has the effect of showing up those who peddIe
them as having very little respect for themselves
or for fair play.

suits for the state. With his avowed antagonism
against everything the present administration
stands for, he could do nothing for Montana, even
if inclined to try, which at this time, considering
his past performances in this state, is doubtful.
There would be little display of the "ideal' Of
the Democratic party, in the senate with B.. X.
Wheeler there. His activities for the best inter-
ests of all Montana would be conspicuous for their
absence.
Montana needs a United States senator, who,
first of all, has the interest of the whole state at
heart. It needs a man who can work in harmony
with the administration, and thereby be in a
position to ask for and receive the consideration
for this state which its importance demands. In
Carl w. Riddick, the Republican candidate, is to
he found just such a man, his record for the past
two terms in congress demonstrates he can and
does work for the good of the state. The voters
of Montana, regardless of party affliation, recog-
nize the worth of Mr.. Riddick, and they will elect
him.

WINTER CONCERT COURSE.

Bozeman will enjoy three concerts this winter
of very high quality through the efforts of the
Artists club of the Bozeman Woman's club. These
three numbers consist of two vocal concerts and
one i~nstrupental. They include Miss Marie Tiff
fanny, a soprano of worldwide reputation, who has
won foremost standing as an artist of exceptional
ability, also Miss Cecil Arden, considered to have
the finest contralto voice now in concert work,
and Mischa Elman, who is rated as the greatest
violinist in the world.
1t is a pleasing prospect for music lovers, as
well as for all of the people of Bozeman and
Gallatin county. Those who enjoy music are
looking forward to these entertainments with
pleasurable anticipation of hearing the best art
lists. That these women have had the courage to
assume the responsibility, which is a heavy one,
to bring such talent to this city for the enter
tainment of the people demonstrates their conf
dence in a desire for high-class entertainment
here.
Few of the residents of Bozeman realize the
standing throughout the state of the Woman's
club of this city in comparison with similar organ
~izations in other cities. 1t has the reputation of
doing things, big things in a big way. It is cred
tied with having in its membership, those who
are really interested in the civic development of
the city, and its member are known to be ardent
workers for the city's good. The Bozeman Wom-
ans club is pointed out as one whose activities
can be proftably followed by other clubs of the
state.
Here in Bozeman, it is something of a habit to
look upon this organization as one of the civic
societies, more social than business, a means for
the women of the city to get together occasionally.
It's real worth is not fully recognized. The inter
est taken in all public welfare for Bozeman, the
active cooperation given every movement for
good, and the wide field of activities of the club
make it a most important factor in the city.
The best of support should be extended to the
Woman's club, in the three concerts they viii
bring here this winter. Their courage should re
ceive the backing necessary to make the venture
financial, as well as an artistic success.

The nomination by the Republicans of GalIatin
county, of John Aakjer for county commissioner
was a most excellent choice. Mr.. Aakjer has been
a resident of GalLatin county for the past 81 years,
during which time he has devoted his time to
farming in the valley, and knows the hardships
to which the farmer is subject. He has gone
through the good and bad years, making a success
of farming, even with dry seasons and the low
prices that have existed from year to year.
John Aakjer is the kind of a man that is needed
on the board of county commissioners. Making a
success of his own business, demonstrates he is
capable of handling the county's business prop
erly. Knowing the conditions prevailing in the
county from long years residence here, he is in
a position to render service that will be econom-
ical to the taxpayers. He is a man of good com.
mon sense, honest, fearless, and capable, com
bining those qualifications desired by those whC

H COUNTY K

In the consideration of candidates for election
in November, it is well that the voter does not
permit the national issue to overshadow the i'm
~portance of the state and county election. The
candidates upon the Republican ticket for office
this year are all worthy of the support of mem
bers of the party; they can~be voted for by all,
with the consciousness that they will fill the posi-
tions to which they aspire, to the satisfaction of
the taxpayers. Fair and honest administration
of office is required of officials, especially those
who conduct the affairs of county business. Cor
rect representation of the county in our legisla-
ture is asked of those who are elected.
The voters of Gallatin county know that H. S.
Buell., A. H. Sales, and Hubert Dunbar, acted
in accordance with the desires of the people of
the county in the last legislature. They know
these men are competent to represent them in
the next legislature. These men are known for
their honesty, ability and understanding of legis-
lative affairs. They can be depended upon not to
waiver from the proper course in legislative mat
ters and to stand for just taxation of all property.
On the county ticket the voter can be assured
that John Aakjer will fill the office of county COM
missioner satisfactory. James Smith as sheriff
will perform his duty at all times, enforcing the
laws Of the state as they are. written without
favor. w. S. Stephenson can be depended upon
as county attorney to exert every effort in law
enforcement, to which he as well as James Smith
have publicly proclaimed their purpose. ]. Fl. Har-
ris has served the county well as clerk and re.

elected. s. d. Waldorf has also served ia The
