answered her. 1t was unhuman.
Beautiful, terrible. There was the
whoop of the wind in it, the chime
of water, the scarlet of fire, the
sonorousness of earth. II en-
raptured and infected her. All of
herself leaped toward it like child
to parent. Fear was gone like a
feather in storm. Releasing the
sable name, she flung up her arms
and laughed as might person who
was insane with happiness.
Her body, borne dizzily upward,
seemed itself light as wing-she
could race on the air, she could
run with the winds! Her hair
.streamed about her like a mer-
maids in the swirl of the tide.
Moonlight, beating pinions, faces
and swift shapes. Faces that
had in them something of the eagle
wide golden eyes that were soul
less; arched brows and noses. Hair
like tongues of fire, limbs flaked
with golden scales or feathers.
There were four-two upon either
hand. notwithstanding in the air,
they bore her steadfast company
as the black horse rose. Oh, but
the others! They darted like swal-
lows, they circled, they poised,
they drifted-they were uncount-
able.
Black imp-things, wickedly
grinning, that whizzed and somer-
saulted; translucent maiden-shapes,
linked hand to hand and dancing
wreath-wise in the void; bird-like
creatures, sapphire-blue, white,
rosy or sable-men's thoughts,
plumaged in accordance with the
emotion that had shaped and
speeded them; wandering flames,
bat-thoughts, ghosts. Overhead
the full moon, an inexhaustible
round lake of binding silver,
drenched everything in light.
Sidonia looked down. The town
was a patch of darkness, from
which the needle points of a couple
of moon-touched spires rose. She
had no giddiness, just as she had
no sensation of cold. But she
wanted to descend-to sweep low
above the roofs that had witnessed
her sad, trudging fatigues. Like
bolt from a cross-bow aimed at the
zenith, the black horse, with his
mighty raven feathered wings,
till hurtled upward.

WITH sigh the Countess
w Sabine woke and raised
w herself a little, looking
with misted eyes at the moonlight
that anointed the foot of her
carved and canopied bed, which
was approached by three shallow
steps. Her soft and sloping shout

was gathered into a silken net. She

She sighed gently again and let

BURLEYS HYPOCRISY is NOW SHOWING UP
By P. J. WALLACE

Again the bankers celebrated in
Helena when the legislature frus-
trated the attempt to pass a law CIV
ing some protection to bank deposit
ors. The work of A. 7. Hibbard, Sec
retary of the Bankers Association,
and a large crowd of shylock lobby
lists amongst the legislative members,
bore fruit when 70 of them disregard
ed the wishes of the people who sent
them to Helena. The lengths to
which the bankers went to defeat the
Bank Guarantee Law was strikingly
brought out when a Legislator was
forced to admit on the floor that he
took money from the Bankers AssO-
citation. An investigation of the
money spent to defeat the Bank
Guarantee Law is contemplated. It's
publication in the liberal press will
result In some interesting repercus-
si0ns throughout Montana.
The debate was held under the five
minute rule and did not take a very
long time. A. T. Larsen led off with
3 discussion of the success of such a
law i'm other states. His speech was
q condensation of the manuscript
published under his name in the Pro
ducers News two weeks ago when the
Bank Guarantee Bill was first intro
duced. it showed the success Of such
laws i'm Nebraska, South Dakota,
Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Kansas
and many other states. 1t is inter-
esting to note that not one scrap of
paper was produced to show that the
law failed in any cf the foregoing
states although those who spoke FOR
the bankers charged failure orally.
PILSTER LARSON
SPEAKS FOR BANKERS
DR.. Larson from Great Falls was
the first speaker against the bill. He
said the failure of the banks Of Mon.
tana was due to incompetent banker;
and too many banks. He said many oil
these bankers should have never en-
tered the banking business. He in
stanced that there were eight banks
in Great Falls and there were nov
only four and that unfortunatel!
many people lost their lifetime saw
ings in failed banks there. Neverthe
less this law should not pass beca(ls,
the banks are now safe. He then tool
another tack and accused the Fedora
Reserve banks for being responsible
for the trouble in Montana. Hi
attacks on the Federal Reserve sys
tenn were disconnected. He scenes

The work of putting the final touch-
es on the interior arrangement of the
new building is going ahead and the
committee anticipates that the sam
Piles for the interior decorations will
soon arrive so that it may go ahead
with the painting and vanishing the
interior. Electric light fixtures will
also soon be installed and Mr. Ole
Anderson, the carpenter in charge of
the construction of the Temple will
soon have a floor scraping machine on
the ground so that he may scrape and
polish the floor. Many expressed the
opinion that the floor even as it now is
withou any scraping or polishing, is
the best floor in the county, but the
committee is not satisfied with any
thing short of a perfectly scraped,
vanished and polished surface fer the
dancers who patrOnize the new hall.
All those who attended the dance
Wednesday night were much pleased
with the position of the orchestra
The Orchestra was delegated a place
in The balcony and the sound of the
music carried wonderfully well to The
other end of the large building. Usu
ally, Il is hald to hear the music a

one said they could hear the music al
well there as near the balcony.

A CREDIT TO NORTHEASTERN MONTANA

Estimate total cash farm income in
Sheridan county in 1924 was $685.
700 compared with $2,821,700 in 1928,
accoring to estimates compiled by the
Montana Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service These estimates are for crops
and livestock marketed and to be
marketedduring the crop year begin
ing August 1924 and ending July 1925.
Crops alone make up $6,034, 700 of the
1924 total against 81, 1888, 700 for 1928,
while livestock and livestock products
are S928,000 for 1924 compared with
$888,00O in 1928.
Total cash farm income for the
state from crops and livestock items
sold both years was placed at S128,-
181 900 for 1924, compared with S97,-
656,O0O in 1923. Most of this increase
came from crops which will return

Fergus county continues to lead the

income in 1924 of S8,606,300, while
Sheridan county with S6,962,700 has
displaced Yellowstone for second

Tive Years of Litigation Finally EndedCounty Treasurer
Receives $18,0OOOO In Cash From Bonding Companies
Thursday Of This Week. B.9fey y..5.
ALL BUT 1000 DOLLARS NOW RECOVERED

At the special meeting of the Board
of Commissioners on February 18th,
a settlement was made with the
bondsmen of the Citizens State
Bank of Antelope and the First
National Bank of Antelope whereby
the bondsmen of that institution
are to pay Sheridan county immedi-
ately $500 due the county on ac-
count of moneys on deposit in the
above banks at the time the Citizens
State Ban, which took over the First
National Bank, closed two years ago.
The Antelope Bank affair has been
in process Of litigation for long time
due to Tyler and Ibsen who accepted
a personal bond cf the directors in the
Citizens State Bank, but which bond
was never filed with the County Trea-
surer. The bonding houses immedi-
ately set Up the claim that the com
n1issioners by their acts had released
the bonding companies and that they
were no longer liable on the bonds OF
either the Citizens State Bank or tht
First National Bank of Antelope. Ar
LeSueur was engaged to start sui
against the bonding companies anC
after considerable negotiations, during
which the case was stipulated int
Federal Court, a settlement was final
ly arrived at whereby the county is t.

from the two Antelope banks.
The $4,000 viii be shared by tn

will cost the county two or thre
thousand dollars to find out wha
