Market Letter.

More than 10000 cattle came
in last week. the largest run this
season, but this week has got a
pretty good start today, with
"a, 600 head. Corn fed steers and
best grass steers gained 10 to 25
cents last week, and are a little
higher today. Medium and COM
mon grass cattle, COW stuff and
stockers and feeders sold steady
to Is cents lower last week, and
these kinds are weak to 10 lower
today. Seven hundred cars of
StockerS and feeders went to the
country from here last week, and
a total of 10000 head went out
during August, against $4,000 in
August last year. The feature
of the heavy business so far this
fall is the large buving of the
packers, they slaughtered 155, 900
cattle here III August this year,
as compared with 95, 900 last year
in August.
A good many steers sold at
S5.75 to So. 10 last week, and one
bunch sold at So. 20 today, the
highest price since April. Bulk
of the corn fed steers sell at IS IS
to IS. 90, grass steers $3.50 to S5
for best ones, westerns S3.25 to
ST. 40, Some grass cows sold at
S3.75 today, but most of the grass
she stuff moves at 50, 55 to S3.25,
Gamers about the usual price
S1.75 to S2.20, bulls Sis to

large share OF the receipts was

In demand to republican con

the Bee saws:
"A republican convention al
ready held in Thayer county has
set the pace by adopting set of
resolutions equivalent to instruc-
tion for their delegates to the state
convention on these sub bjects.
These resolutions affirm belief in
the policies of President Roosevelt
and favor their enactment into
law The intent of this declara-
tion is, no doubt, good, but the eX-
preston in our opinion, is alto
gether too indefinite. Every con
vention of republicans held in
Nebraska th.s year should not
only declare approval of the presi.
dents policies, but it should vote
up or down resolution of lustruc.

favor of plank in the state plat.

rate regulation and calling upon
Nebraska representatives in con
gress to vote for measure thai

There is no room to doubt tha
the rank and file of the republi
can party in Nebraska is lined u,
in earnest support of all the i'm
portaut policies which Presiden
Roosevelt stands for and it reall
makes little difference what speci
fic language is used in voicin!
that sentiment in a convention de
clares "that it favors the enactmen
into law of the policies of Presi
dent Roosevelt" it means it a
thoroughly as if it had catalogue
those policies and answered i
each instance. Nebraska is stanC

representatives of Nebraska i

Eustace said nothing for moment. Then
he exclaimed with a grimace:

Then he brushed the dust off his clothes

said Mary.
1t was the morning after Harvey Wiseman
had found his charge OF impesture met by
the showing OF the tattoo mark Sir Eus-
tace Holland-if he was Sir Eustace-was at
any rate still accepted for what he said he
was at Holland Abbey. In fact. his position
was IL anything. more secure than 1t had
been before; for he had met a definite at
tack. and repulsed II triumphantly.
The Dowager Lady Holland was very in
dlgnant. and declared with frequent itera-
ton that she would never forgive Harvey
for what he had done She even wanted
her son TO consult a lawyer III Elgn as to
whether 1t would be possible to have him
punished for bringing a wanton and malic-
ious accusation, and was frankly disap-
pointed when Eustace told her that he did
not think that the distilier had done any
thing that the law would count GRIM
inal.
Not criminal?" said the dowager indig-
nantly. He betrayed his own kith and
kin! If you can't punish him for the other.
you ought to be able TO for that"
Eustace retrained from pointing out that
as his own safety lay in the fact that the
admiralty believed him to be dead even
tfat treachery could not be effectively re-
Dented. Indeed. In his own thoughts he was
Inclined 10 thank Harvey for doing him q
service since the letter from the admiralty
freed him from the fear that he could be
called upon TO stand his trial In the I'M
mediate future for the treason OF twelve
years ago. That necessity might. OF course
still arise, II the admiralty presently dis
covered or was made to believe. that their
agent in Oporto had make a mistake. But
for the present, Harvey's action had re-
moved a definite cause of anxiety
Eustace had told both Mary and her
mother that he was prepared with COM
plete answer to that accusation; but he had
not told Lady Holland that he did not in
tend to meet the charge unless he was
compelled.
He had told Mary so: and he had seen
mat, though she forebore 10 question him
as TO his reasons, she could not help
showing that she was surprised and disap-
pointed; and he thought also that she felt

was, IL was at any rate not cowardice But
ne could not explain that-yet
Mary was angry, too; but her anger moo
mixed with other feelings which She found
1t somewhat difficult to analyze. II was
curious, moreover, that by no means tbe
whole force of her anger was directed
against Harvey Wiseman, and she steadily
refused to go again to the caves

"AIl right old GIRL" said Eustace. Il see.
It's only another OF the things I've got to

tell you. But I've got to finish my due
with our cousin Harvey first"
The subject was dropped between them:
he made no further effort to move Mary
from her decision, or to break down the
barrier which, during the next few days, he
felt was slowly but steadily growing be-
tween them. The girl. on her side, felt the
growth Of this barrier. too. She hated 1t.
and then in sort Of angry JOY she loved
1t. For If Eustace were not her brother. he
was a common imposter. and she had no
choice but to despise him.
Eustace spent the next two days in the
caves without the interference from Harvey
nothing; he got no hint that he was even
on the way to finding anything: perhaps
that was why II was not yet worth Har-
vey's while to interfere.
On the third morning Sims met him as
he was starting out for the caves. The
chauffeur had been an idle man lately: for
