Even young cattle are held over this

been such light offerings of stockers on
this market
For years it has been contended that
Colorado was not cattle feeding
state. that because corn cannot be
raised here successfully that it would
always be necessary to ship thin cattle
to the corn states to be fattened for
market. This belief has been com.
pletely disproved While Il little corn
may be used in feeding the cattle, it
will be but Il small item and many will
even dispense with corn altogether and
trust to alfalfa. sugar beets. other roots
and wheat and barley to fatten their
stock
Within the last ten days two cattle
men from Iowa and Missouri who
made n speciality of feeding cattle have
been in Colorado investigating. with
the result that they are now looking

lead being saved. In certain sections
of the state the percentage of zinc in
the ores has been very high and 1t has
been found profitable to ship the con-
centrates to Belgium for trea tment. 1t
Is estimated that at least 300 tons of
zinc concentrates are daily sent abroad
to be treated.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing Company, after investigating the
processes thoroughly, decided that IL
the Belgians could make profit, after
transporting the concentrates for such
long distance, that there was a great
field in Colorado for n zinc smelling
plant. Five hundred acres of land was
accordingly purchased at Pueblo and
contracts have been let for the con-
struction of the smelter. Grading has
already commenced and the work will
be pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible Prominent Belgian capitalists
and smelling men will be interested in
the concern, taking fOrty-five per cent
of the stock. The American company
will retain fifty-five per cent. Skilled
workmen will be sent over from Bel

to the proper method to be used in eX
tracing the zinc.
it has been made possible only by the
Improvement in the different classes of
smelling and mining machinery. The
process has long existed in theory but
it has been found impossible to put 1t
into practical operation because of i'm
projections in the retorts used in smelt-
ing. Owing to the chemical action of
the various compOnents of the ores, as
well as the great heat required to smelt
the zinc, these retorts were easily
ruined. Now they have been so i'm
proved that the process is practicable
and profitable.
In one respect Colorado has worked
out her own salvation, as far as zinc
extraction is concerned. The process
could only be made profitable when it
was possible to obtain concentrates
containing from forty-five to fifty per
cent. zinc. The numerous improve

waist and arrange the mirrors to expe-
rience a feeling of placid contentment
But soon she became an enigma to
her friends. She did such strange
things and made such extraordinary
remarks. For instance, she gave up
the use of rocking chairs entirely.
Il have noticed" she said, that no
matter how gently one rocks, the mo-
ton results in a sort of rubbing of one s
berk by the back Of the chair"
What of it?" asked the friend to
whom this remark was made.
Don't you wish you knew" she re-
torted.
Then she evinced a strong repug-
nance to massage, which she previously
had held to be conducive to beauty and
health. Indeed when the subject was
mentioned she shuddered, and once ex-
claimed. Heavens, it might rub OUT"
In crowd, too, she exhibited great
distress. If anyone brushed roughly by
her so as to touch her right shoulder
she became perceptibly pale and
promptly endeavored to back into some
corner where she would be reasonably
safe. Naturally there was speculation
and then gossip.

BY EIIIOrr ELOMER

When Kittie Wingram married Ezra
Dalton it was generally understood to
be a financial transaction of the kind
customary in the polite world. kit
tie was young and pretty, while Ezra
was old and rich. But <ittie was not
one of these unbusiness-like girls who
leave everything to chance. No, in
deed; she was a thoughtful and worldly
maiden, who knew how to look out for
herself and her future. She insisted
that his will must be made out in her
favor in the way that she should de-
cree and left in her charge.
Everything must be left to me, p"
she said, land the will must be abso-
lutely in my keeping. Too many girls
in our set have been fooled by codi-
ellis and other changes"
To this he agreed and the day after
the wedding she demanded the fulfill
ment of his promise.
Il will have the new will drawn up
and executed to-day" he said, "and to-
night I viii give it to you. 1 regret to
have to cut off one or two relatives
who have been kind to me, but you
shall have everything"
1T is because l know you will re-
gret that" she replied, that l shall
not be satisfied with any will that I
cannot have always with me. No
safe-deposit box would give me the
sense of security that 1 need in order
TO rest easy
Surely you cannot be in earnest"
he protested. You cannot carry it
about with you. II would be lost or
stolen"
The way that I intend to carry it,"
she answered will preclude the pos
sibility of loss or theft, and, further
more. will make it impossible for you
TO get hold of it and change it. l

The judge looked at her blankly, and

had reached his side.
The lawyer leaned over and replied
In a very confidential tone.
"No?" said the judge when the law

The judge scratched his head

he went on, as she approached under
escort of the policeman. Il want to
know if you have that will with you"
It's very much with her" said the
lawyer quickly, but"
I'll look into this matter, sir. with
out any further help from you" said
the judge sharply. Then, turning to
Mrs. Dalton, he again demanded to
know if she had the will.
Yes, sir" she answered family.
Let me see it,
She looked at him pleadingly, but
he was stern and unyielding.
II can tell you every word of it, &"
she urged.
Won't do" he said.
"And-and the witness and the notary
can tell you just what it says. It's
very short"
Madam" he announced harshly,

the dignity of this court. The mystery
must be bared!'

der "Bared!"
"Show me the will" he ordered.

again silenced. She hesitated, but fin

She laughed in a triumphant way as
she said this, while Ezra gasped. She
stiil might make new will, but she
thought the circumstances would de-
ter him, especially as the destruction
of the other would be impossible.

as his astonishment would let him
speak.

mination.

he suggested, whereat she grew sud
denly pale.

thought of that"
You have a beautiful arm" he went
on, insinuatingly.

shoulder"
Would your ball gowns conceal it,"
he asked, solicitously.
Again she was startled by the sug-
gestion, for in truth there was very
little of the shoulder that a ball gown
would conceal This, of course was
due to the fact that she belonged TO
the world of fashion, and in conse-
quence it would be manifestly absurd
and provocative of comment to with
draw the shoulders from exhibition.

pause, perhaps it would be better TO
have the will tattooed where l am vac

Now she thought the matter settled,
but this was because she was unac-

smiled in a way she did not like.
"As you please" he returned disin-

Her perturbation was great, but in a
minute or two she recovered her com

''In that case" she asserted. Il shall
