It must have been a hawk that

him give jump, then turn and
make straight for the fire. | tried
to stop him. But Tenderfoot was
ahead of me and grabbed him by the
neck to push him back.
Itwas too late. The sparks few
in every direction, and something
seemed to hit me in the head and l
was falling, and l couldn't stop N.Y.

far from me. A little further on

stiff.

up at the hawks and then down at
Tenderfoot, who was lynn SO white
and still, and I says:
81 heard what you said, Tender

Score another victory for monop-
olistic greed. One of the largest
concessions ever obtained by Ameri-
leans from foreign government has
fallen into the hands of syndicate
OF New York capitalists, who have
completed the organization of Com
pany to control the expectation and
Importation of live stock of all de-
scriptions from and to the Republic
Honduras free of all duties. The
concession is for twenty five years.
The Company is capitalized at S.
100000. About 100000 acres of
public land will be granted to the
Company by the Government OF
Honduras on condition that it i'm
proves the live stock of the country
by introducing new blood. The i'm
proved stock thus raised in the coun-
try must be sold to the Company at
a fixed price by the Government OF
q cents apound on the hoof.
At present there are {, 200, 900 COWS
in Honduras, and the annual output
Of hogs is about 100000. These
concessions, it is believed, will put
the new Company in few years
practically in control OF the live stock
markets both in America and in Eu
rope. The price of beef on the hoof
in Chicago is A cents a pound. To
this must be added the cost of rail
way transportation to the East and OF
shipping to Europe. The cost in
Honduras is q cents a pound, and
only the cost of shipment by water
to be added.
