Advertising rates fur- nished on application. BERTHA B. LUCKEY, EDITOR AND MANAGER All general business letters and correspondence should be ad- dressed to The Mineral Independent, Superior, Montana. Letters for publication must bear the writer's signature, although it need not be published. THE NEW SERVICE c • - The attention of our many readers is called to the excellent ready -print service now received by this paper. Among the fea- tures are a Montana news column which gives a general resume of the latest news of state-wide interest, the latest and correct market reports which appear weekly, a continued story and world news of interest. The agricultural and many other features shown semi-weekly make it a service that is hard to excel. The Independent was changed from a weekly to a twice -a - week publication a short time ago with a two page ready -print service which handles the outside news, allowing us to confine our efforts to the local field. The change, we think, has been generally satisfactory to every one, and knowing there is nothing like \blowing your own horn\ when you have occasion, we take this opportunity of calling attention to this matter and incidently thanking our many friends and patrons over the county for their loyal support. As soon as conditions will permit we intend enlarging our pa- per from a four to an eight page semi-weekly, our aim being to give the people of this county a publication second to none in the state, one that you can point to with pride. However, to accomplish this we will need the undivided support of all the boosters in the county. If you have any items of interest about the happenings in your locality don't hesitate to send them in and if you want to buy or sell anything the Independent's advertising columns is the place to list it. Remember, too, that we are equipped to turn out printing of all kinds and every dollar spent in buying printing in your own county advances your own publicity medium just that much. • - LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT P The following, from the pen of .a Montana woman in the -Da- kota Farmer, tells,in a language that all can easily understand the secret of a contented and happy life: \So many Women nowadays seem to think they ought not to work; and when they do, their husbands should instantly be there to help, and straight -way buy some wonderful piece of machinery to do it for'them ever afterwards. My 'old man' and I have plod- ed along 'life's weary way' for fourteen years, have had many hardships and deaths in our path, and every day draws our lives more closely and lovingly together. If one of us is worn out and cross from overwork, the other is instantly on hand with kind words sad a helping hand. Often are the times when I have gone to bed, worn out, and left him to do the dishes, wash the babies and hear their prayers; and quite as often has he come in at even- ing worn out by an overdose of worry and hard work, to be in- stantly dragged into the house, given a warm _supper, and tumbled off to bed. Then the babies always insist on hearing his prayers and singing him to sleep, while the overworked mother (?) puts away his horses and does up the chores. Many of us do not know what a heaven on earth we could have until it is toe late. The only fault we find is that there are so few hours left that we can spend together. But when we do have a day off or a few hours of idleness, we proceed to enjoy them to the utmost, and at such times you will always find us alone, or with somebody, perhaps in a crowd, but always 'alone together.' Life is what we make it.\ NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS The Superior State Bank Mineral County's Only Bank Capital Paid in $20,000.00 Banking In All Its Branches g The small depositor will be made as welcome as the big fellow. q We are a home institution with strong outside connections. q We want all the banking business of the county.

Jure lost no time in calling at the bank, but was disappointed to learn that Senor Andres Garavel bad left the citz, for an unexpected business tour of the provinces and would not return for at least two weeks. In the days that followed he saw nothing of Gertrudis, but a great deal of Edith Cortlandt. She had redeemed her promise of getting him a good horse—something rare in this country— and he was grateful for the exercise, which came as a welcome relief from his indoor toil. Soon their old friendly intercourse was going on as if it had never been interrupted. As for Edith, this semipublic In- timacy came to be quite as much a pain as a pleasure to her. During these past few weeks she bad been plunged in a mental turmoil, the signs of which she had concealed with diffi- culty. She had fought with herself; she had tried to reason; she had mar- shaled her pride, but all in vain. At last she awoke to the terrifying cer- tainty that she was in love with Kirk. I She began to look upon her husband with a quickened curiosity, and found him a stranger. For years she had made allowance for his weaknesses, ignoring them as she ignored his vir- tues, but never before had he appeared so colorless, so insignificant, above all so alien. She had barely tolerated him hitherto, but now she began to de- spise him. If Cortlandt was aware of her change of feeling and its cause, his method of dealing with her showed some keen- ness. Silent contempt was what she could least endure from him of all men; yet this was just what his man- ner toward her expressed—if it ex- pressed anything. Even if he did suspect, what tien? It was no affair of his; she was her own mistress. She had given him sIi he possessed, she had made a man of . 1xim. He was her creature, and had no rights beyond what she chose to give. They saw less and less of each other. Only before others, or at their frequent political councils, were they quite the same as they had been. Of Anthony. on the other hand, she arranged to see more than ever, flatter- ing him by a new deference in her manner, making him feel always at ease with her. In their frequent rides they covered most of the roads about the city, even to the ruins of old Pan- ama. Then they began to explore the bypaths and trails. One afternoon they turned into an unfrequented road that led off to the Jungle from the main highway, walk- ing their horses while they marveled at the beauty of the foliage. They burst out into a rocky glen, where a spring of clear water bubbled forth. \What a discovery!\ exclaimed Edith. \Help me down, please. I'm going to drink.\ Kirk dismounted and lent her a hand The horses snorted appreciatively and. stepping forward, thrust their soft muzzles eagerly into the stream, then fell to browsing upon the tender leaves at their shoulders. Edith quenched her thirst, shook the cramp from her limbs and said: \Some time we will have to see where this road leads. There may be more sur- prises beyond.\ She broke a flower from its stem and fastened it in Kirk's buttonhole while he gazed down at her with friendly eyes. \You're looking awfully well lately,\ he declared. • Glancing up, she met his gaze and held it for an instant. Something in her look gave him a little thrill of em- barrassment. \I think I'll give Marquis and Gyp their dessert,\ he said and, turning aside, began to gather a handful of the greenest leaves. The instant his eyes were off her she took the horses by their bridles, swung them about and with a sharp blow of her riding crop sent them snorting and clattering down the trail. Kirk wheeled barely, in time to see them disappearing. \Say why did you do' that?\ he asked. \Because I wanted to. Isn't that reason enough?' Her eyes were reck- less and her lips white. \I did it be- cause I wanted to talk with you.\ \Well those horses wouldn't over hear.\ \Don't be angry, Kirk. I haven't seen you alone since—that night.\ \Taboga?\ he said guiltily. \You're not going to lecture me again? I'm ••vi•j ckik/u611 \What a queer chap you are! Am I so unattractive that you really want to rush off after those horses? I have known men who would have thought it a privilege to be left alone with me— like this.\ \1—bave DO doubt.\ \You remember, for instance. I tuld : sou there was one in n at Tabora whom I did not wish to see?\ \Yes—at the sanitarium.\ \Well something like this happened once—with him—and I told Stephen.\ \And did you tell Mr. Cortlandt what I did?' \Do you think I would have come riding with you if I bad?\ She shook her head. \Kirk I used to think you were an unusually forward young man, but you're not very worldly, are you?\ He began firmly: \See—re. Mrs. tortlandt. you have been -mighty good to me, and I'm indebted to you and your husband for a whole lot. I am terribly fond of you both.\ \I suppose,\ she said, half defiantly, \you know how things are with Ste- phen and mar -everybody must know, I suppose. tiapNness—that is what I want, and I will have it—I will have it at any cost. It is my right. Because a woman marries without love, is it right for her to forego love all her life? I think not.\ \I can't pretend to misunderstand you, although—listen!\ He cut his words short. \Here comes sotne one.\ She turned her head, as from the di- rection their mounts had taken came the sound of approaching hoofs. \Natives from the hills.\ She nod- ded carelessly toward the purple moun- tains back of them. But the next mo- ment she gave a little gasp of conster- nation. Out from the overhung path. with a great rustling of leaves, came not the 'expected flea bitten Panama horse, but a familiar bay, astride of which was Stephen Cortlandt. He was leading Marquis and Gyp by their bri- dles and reined in at the sight of his wife and her companion. \Hello!\ he said. \I caught your horses for you.\ \Jove that's lucky!\ Kirk greeted the husband's arrival with genuine re- lief. \They bolted when we got down to take a drink, and we were getting ready for a long walk. Thanks. aw- fully.\ \No trouble it all. I saw them as they came out on the main road.\ Cortlandt's pigskin saddle creaked as he bent forward to deliver the reins He was as cool and immaculate as ever. He met Edith's eyes without the slightest expression. \Nice afternoon for a ride. Pretty spot, isn't it? If you are going back I'll ride with you.\ \Good enough. May I give you a hand, Mrs. Cortlandt?\ Kirk helped Edith to her seat, at which her husband bowed his thanks. Then the three set out in single file. \Which way?\ inquired Stephen as they reached the highroad. \Back to town, I think.\ Edith told him. \And you?\ \I'm not ready yet. See you later.\ He raised his hat and cantered easily away, while the other two turned their horses' heads toward the city. (To be continued.)
