Francis led the way In silence up the

upon the sideboard. and motioned his
friend to an easy-chair. Then he gave
form to the thought which had been
haunting them both.

At the corner Of Green park he came
face to face with the woman who for
the last few months had scarcely been

moment he realized to his pain that

could. They met. however, where the
path narrowed, and he left her no
chance to avoid him. That curious i'm

conversation always with cut and
dried banalities, saved them perhaps
from certain amount of embarrass-

PRODUCTION. Francis called on Miss
Daisy Hyslop, who received him that
afternoon in the sitting room of hel
little suite at the Milan. Her welcom
Ing smile was plaintive and little
subdued, her names undeniably gra
cious. She was dressed in black, o
wonderful background for her really
gorgeous hair, and her department in
dictated a recent loss.
She avoided his direct questioning
for time. but his checque book final
ly loosened her tongue.
Il am afraid you will think that
what have to tell is very insfgnifi-
can't" she confessed. Victor was one
of those boys Who always fancied
themselves bored He was bored with
polo. bored with motoring, bored with
the country and bored with town.
Then quite suddenly during the last
few weeks he seemed changed. All
that he would tell me was that he had
found new interest In life. don't
know what 1t was but don't think II
was a nice one, He seemed to drop all
his old friends, too, and 60 about with
new set altogether-hot a nice set
at all. He used to stay out all night,
and he quite gave up going to dances
and places where ne could take me.
Once or twice he came here in the
afternoon. dead beat, without having
been to bed at all. and before he could
say half a dozen words he was asleep
In my easy-chair. He used to mutter
such horrible things that had, to
wake him up"

Francis asked
She shook her head.

was quite well-off. besides what his
people allowed, him. l was going to
have a wonderful settlement as soon
as our engagement was announced.
However, to go on with what / was
telling you, the very night before-it
happened-he came in, to see me, look
ing like nothing on earth. He cried
like baby. behaved like lunatic,
and called himself all manner of
names. He had had a great deal too
much to drink, and I gathered that he
had seen something horrible. It was
then he asked me to dine with him the
next night, and told me that he was
going to,break altogether with his new
friends. Something in connection with
them seemed to have given him ter
rible fright"
Francis nodded. He had the tact
to abandon his curiosity at this pre-
else point. 9s
"The old story" ne declared, bad
company and rotten habits. suppose
some one got to know that the young
man usually carried great deal of
money about with him."
1T was so foolish of him." she as
sented eagerly. II warned him about
1t so often. The police won't listen to
1t but am absolutely certain that he
was robbed. Noticed when he paid
the bill that he had great wad Of
bank-nOtes which were never discov-
cred afterward.''
And with that information Francis
had to be satisfied when he took his
leave.

Desires to Know More
OF Cowboys Lament

Back In Chicago resides an in

acterisfics of the western cowboy.
He is making study of this fast
disappearing species of the old

seeks knowledge of their musical

In this connection, he cites THE

Just what this lament is, no one

belief is that the only lament of the
cowboy is over the passing OF the
open range, the bar-room and the old.

incurrsions of the sheep men, the
and the gasoline buggy
The subject was recently intro
duced TO the statehouse at Helena,

Madison COunty's Big
Garnet Fields Nj ay
Bring New Industry

If the Miller garnet field near
Rochester in Madison county, full
fills the expectations of its owners.
Montana may In a few years be
able to boast of a new industry.
Near Rochester. the Rochester Gar
net company is already beginning
to produce garnets for the COM
mercial trade. The only large gar
net fields in the United States at
the present time are located In he
Adirondack mountains of the East.
Garnets are used extensively In
the abrasive trade; and at present
when the demand for this product is
at all above normal, 1t is necessary to
import the supply from foreign coun-
tries. Eighty-five dollars per ton Is
the price asked in the Adirondacks
for garnet at the present time.
The Montana fields give every
promise of responding profitably to
development. The land on which
the garnet was located was owned by
Mrs. Lucy Miller of Rochester. Ben
jamin f. Beardsley of st. Paul, Mrs.
Miller and George S. Kearney OF
Deer Lodge are the incorporators of
the company which started operations
about six months ago.

SEARCH OF GLACIER FOR
TWO MISSING TOURISTS

Grave fears are felt for the safe
" of two brothers, named White

been lost since late in August In
the Glacier national park. 1t is
stated that park officials have been
ordered TO prosecute vigorous
search.
Representatives of the missing
mems family have arrived at the
park to aid. The tickets of the
missing pair, good only until Sep
TENDER 1, have not been validated
nor has their mother heard from
them although they were expect
ed home some time ago. They
were tramping the park without a
guide and were last reported in
granite park, a region accessible
only by toruous trails.
