With the exceptionally warm weather the past ten days, the river has become alik- SAFETY vo . rite resort for men FIRST and boys who nightly congregate under the bridge. for a cool. ..refreshing swim. Some of the older ones have constructed a long ladder that leads from the bridge to the water which is being extensively used. Owing to the swift under- current in the river many an anxious mother has forbidden her venturesome offspring from going near the river, and we see their little faces long with disap- pointment because of this de- nied pleasure. The small boy, like the duck, loves the swim- ming hole. A suggestion by one of our townsmen last night, if carried out, would afford a per- fectly safe place for the small as well as the large boy. His sug- frestion was to build a cement plunge at some feasible point in the river, possibly where the big • eddy is located. Where the *water - lir - driven back - tan these little bayou affairs there is no current and comparatively little danger. Much has been said of the value of knowing how to swim, and to give our hildren t is opportunity a safe place should he afforded them. The Missoula river, murky and swift, does not appear to be either a safe or sanitary natatorium, and yet it is wet, cool and refresh- ing.

One of the crying needs of Min- eral's county seat today is a good telephone sy s t e m. PHONES From time to time NEEDED individuals have tak- en this matter up with the Bell Telephone company in Missoula, Butte and Helena, but without any definite result. A promise to look into the mat- ter, a statement that the territory would not warrant the placing of an exchange at this point, or that at the present time the Bell Tele- phone company was curtailing expenses, are answers that have been given, and our community goes on telephoneless, or at least with a very limited service. Now • we have in our midst a private line owned by'one of our townsmen, Mr. A. P. Johnston, and it seems to us that this could be extended and give to individual homes the much de- sired service. In fact, we be- lieve by - the extension of this line that our needs would be sufficed, together with the long distance service afforded by the Bell Telephone company. The Johnston telephone line is only operated between possibly a half dozen places, and yet is in constant demand. Exceptionally good service is given, the line being rarely out of repair, and could it be extended to hoter - bank and numerous other busi- ness houses, it would be a valuable asset to the community and a good paying investment to the nwr,er OOOOOOOO • • • • • 111 • • • • • • THE Ne'erraDonWell — 11EsselielP By REX BEACH Amber of Spoilers,\ \The Barrier,\ \The Silver Horde,\ Etc. 00HrrIght, MO, Mt by Harper & Brothers. CHAPTER XVII. The Rest Of the Family. HE time for Senor Caravel's return haying arrived. Kirk called at the hank and found not the least difficulty in gain- ing an audience. \1 remember you quite well, sir.\ said Garavel—\ 'La Tosca.' Since you , are a friend of Mrs. Cortlandt I shall be delighted to serve you.\ \I hare something very particular to say to you.\ Kirk began diffidently, \but I don't Just know how to get at Garavel smiled graciously. \I am a business man.\ \This isn't business,\ blurted Kirk; \it's much more important. I want to have it over as quickly as possible, so I'll 'be frank. I have met your daugh- ter, Mr. Garavel\—the banker's eyes widened in a look of disconcerting in- tensity—\aud I am in love with her— sort of a shock, isn't It? It was to me. I'd like to tell you who I am and any- thing else you may wish to know.\ \My dear sir, you surprise me—if you are really serious. Why, you bare seen her but once—a moment, at the the- ater!\ \I met her before that night, out at your country place. I had been hunt- ing aud on my way home through the `Woods I stumbled upon your swim- ming pool. She directed me to the road.\ \But even so!\ \Well I loved her the first instant I saw her.\ \I knew nothing of this. If you had reason to think Uat-your suit would be acceptable, why did you not come to me before?\ \I couldn't. I didn't know your name. I was nearly crazy because I couldn't so much as learn the name of the girl I loved!\ Kirk plunged con- fusedly into the story of his meeting with Chiquita. a strange tale.\ said Senor Garavel when he had finished. \If you would tell me something about -your- self I might know better in what light to regard this affair.\ \Gladly—though there isn't much to tell. Just now I'm working on- the P. R. R as assistant to Runnels—the master of transportation, you know. I like the work and expect to be promot- ed. I have a little money—Just enough to give me a fresh start if I should lose out here, and—oh. well. I'm poor, but honest. I suppose that's about the Size of It\ He paused. vaguely con- scious that be bad not done himself Justice. \My father is a railroad man in Albany. N. Y.\ • \In what capacity is he employed. may I ask?\ Kirk grinned at this, and, seeing a copy of Bradstreet's on the banker's table, turned to his father's name. which he pointed out rather shame- facedly. Senor Garavel became in- stantly less distant \Of course the financial world knows Darwin K. Anthony,\ •said he. \Even we modest merchants of the tropics have heard of him, and that his son should seek to win success upon his own merits is greatly to his credit. I congratulate you, sir, upon your ex- cellent progress.\ \I ought to tell you, sir, that I am not otk good terms with my father at present fact, he. his cast me off: -- That Is vihv I am hire support - big myself by hard work. instead of living in idleness. But I'm beginning to like the work—and I'll make good -- I'll do it if only to show my father his mistake. That's what I care about oat. I don't want his money. Its easier to make money than I thought. But I must succeed, for his sake and My own.\' \May I inquire the cause of this— estrangement?\ \Oh general worthlessness on my part, I suppose. Come to think of it, I must have been a good deal of a cross. I never did anything very fierce, though.\ He smiled a little sadly. 1 quick light of thought flashed through the banker's eyes. He was a keen Judge of men. \Well well.\ he said, with a trace of impatience, \there is no need to go hair the matter further.

If she loves Ramon Alvarez\— Once again Caravel's brows signaled surprise. \Ah you know?\ \Yes sir. I was about to say if she really loves him I can't make any dif- ference. But suppose she should care for mer ' \Again It could make no difference once she had married Ramon. But she is too young to know her own mind. Youth is headstrong and blinded by dreams; hence it is better .that mar- riage should be arranged by older per- sons.\ \Exactly. That's why I want you to arrange mine.\ The banker smiled in spite of himself, for he was not with- out a sense of humor, and the young man's sincerity was winning. \It is out of the question,\ he said; \useless to discuss. Forgetting for the moment all other considerations, there is an obstacle to your marriage into a ' Spanish family which you do not stop to consider, one which might well prove insurmountable. I speak of rell- , gime\ \No trouble there, sir.\ \You are then a Catholic?' \It was my mother's faith, and I was brought up in it until she died. After that I sort of neglected it. You see, I am more of a Catholic than any- thing else.\ \What we call a 'bad Catholic?'\ \Yes sir. It if I were` -not It. wouldn't make any difference. CM; quite is my religion.\ \Who?' The father started. \I—I call her that,\ Kirk explained In confusion; ''to myself, of course.\.. - \Indeed! So do I,\ said Senor Gara vel dryly. For a moment he frowned I In meditation. There were many things to consider. He felt a certain sympathy for this young man, with his straightforwardness and artless brim- querie. Moreover, though the banker was no great respecter of persons, the mention of Darwin K. Anthony had impressed him. If Kirk were all that he seemed he had no doubt of the ulti- mate reconciliation of father and son - . At all events it'would do no hartu to learn more of this extraordinary Run - or, and meanwhile he must treat him with respect while carefully guarding\) his own dignity against possibly. Im- pertinent advances. ' \She has been promised to Ramon.\ he said, at last. \and I have considered her future quite settled. Of course. such arrangements are frequently al- tered for various causes, even at the last moment but—who knows?\ He shrugged his shoulders. \She may not wish to entertain your suit. So why discuss it? Why make plans or prom- ises? It Is a matter to be handled with the greatest delicay; there are im- portant issues linked with A. For a young man I have known so very short a time\—he smiled genially—\you have impressed me not unfavorably. I thank you for coming to me, at any rate.\ The two men rose and -shook hands; Kirk was not altogether east down by theistew. He un- derstood the banker's allusion to the possible change of arrangements, and felt sure from what Chiquita had toil Aim that the marriage with Ramou could not take place after the true na- ture of Garavera political aspirations became known. The truth was that Andree Garavel had not hesitated long after thhi memorable night at the Tivoli before accepting the brilliant prize which the Cortlandts had dangled so alluringly before his eyes, and the decision once made, he had entered into the scheme with all his soul. He was wise enough, however, to leave' his destiny largely in their hands. It was not long after Kirk's visit to the bank that Garavel, during a con- ference with the Cortlandts. took oc- casion to bring up the young man's name. Cortlandt had been called to the telephone, and' Edith was left free to answer without constraint. \I have seen you and him riding quite frequently,\ her guest remarked, with polite Interest \Is be. then, an old friend?\ \Yes we are very fond of him. He will be promoted soon, by the way, al- though he doesn't know it. He is to replace Runnels as soon as he is able. Kirk is certain to succeed, and old Anthony will come round, if I know Amerfcan fathers.\ Garavel smiled, well pleased that he had treated his recent visitor- with. proper consideration. After all, why not invite the young fellow to his house? That would be rather a sig- nificant step according to Spanish cus- tom, yet he need not be bound by it. He could put a stop to the affair at any time. Besides, despite his frequent protestations to the contrary, he was somewhat influenced by his daughter's desire for more liberty. It was not fair to her. he thought in his heart, that she should know only Ramon. One rea- son especially appealed to his pride. If a break came between him arid XI - fares, Ramon must not appear to have Jilted Gertrudis. If, meanwhile, she had another suitor, and one of distin- guished family, the affair would wear a better look. It cannot be denied that the name of Darwin K. Anthony rang 'musically in his ears. \The boy has the right _stuff in him,\ Edith went on. \He began at the bot- tom only a few months ago, preferring to work his wa v y up, though he was offered a first rate positiop to begin with.\ She would have said more, but just at that moment her husband enteil. \You were saying that Alfarez sus- peels. - said C.:Latium - 1u addremniug Unr- avel. \Has he said anything?\ \Not to me as yet, but he surely must know. The rumors must have reached him. He is cold, and Ramon acts queerly. I feel guilty—almost aaiLI had betrayed a friend\ (To be continued.)
