aroused their animosity, nothing can
ever make them friends again. They
hate as the wolf hates, and are quite
as merciless.
| Keep as close to me as possible,
and speak no more than Is absolutely
necessary" he says.
The first part of his injunction 1t is
easy enough to accomplish, but when
1t comes to silence, Dora Is unreliable
she could not keep still any length
of time, If paid handsomely for 1t. At
| first 1t is fear of their pursuers that
causes the animated creature to groan
and utter little shivering cries-then
branch jabs her in the eye, eliciting
sort of shrek, and when all else
fails, she can positively feel snake
run over her foot; and If there is any
thing on the face of the earth this
same Dora detests, so that the very
name almost sends her into convul-
sions, she declares it is a snake.
Dick at first endeavors to hush her
outcries, but he might as we'll try to
dam the Mississippi Even Miss Pau
lines words fail to have the desired
effect-Dora must bubble over, or
swoon.
So they make their way along; Dick
wishes his companion could be with
them, and he finally gives the signal
again. Perhaps Bob may have failed
to hear it on the first occasion, as he
is not the man to allow any obstacle
to stand in his way when duty calls.
There must be a wall somewhere
near them-Dick looks for 1t constant
ly. He can hear their enemies plung-
ing hither and yon through the
bushes, which they beat with great as
siduity, as though hunting legitimate
game. More than once 1t looks as
though there is bound to be a COLI
sion, and Dick nerves himself for the
ordeal, gritting his teeth and mental
ly making up his mind to astonish his
foes.
Fortune favors them-the wall is

and believes he can again, but 1t will
take time, and there Is none to spare
at present. While he is engaged in
scientifically doing Barcelona up In
good shape, the others companions
will doubtless be making themselves
scarce, with the two American gfSls
in their power.
Already he hears Dora screaming.
Keep away, you miserable Picca-
dilly bughunter! detest you! I'll
have my Bob shake you out Of 3
years growth! Keep your hands OF,
all of you, or III scream for help, !
will! Bob, oh, where are your
Coming, darling-coming as fast
as these beastly prickly pears and
Spanish bayonets will allow. Coming
like wild horse of the prairie on the
stampede. Where's that wretch of
Fitz-let me fondle him like grizzly,
and his mother won't know him. Com
ing, darling-here!"
With the last word, which Is ut
tered as ferocious roar, Colonel Bob
bursts through the barrier that en-
deavors to block his progress, and APP
pears upon the scene. Dick halls his
coming with the greatest of delight,
since it relieves him in a measure. Of
his worry.
The professor does not experience
the same feeling; he Is Briton, 1t
is true, but recent experiences have
taught him that fighting is hardly to
be placed in his line Hearing the
threats which the terrible Sheriff Of
Secora County bellows forth while
bursting his way upon the scene, the
professor wisely concludes to leave
for parts unknown, nor to stand on
the order of his going
Colonel Bob finds work to do, how
ever-there are number of NOBLE
Mexicans present who require looking
after, and in his present excitable
frame of mind he is just in the humor
to satisfy all their longings in that
direction.
The darkness is not so intense now,
for the moon Is peeping above the
horizon. Bob can see his men, and he
falls upon them with the power Of al
thunderbolt. Right and left he
plunges, knocking them down as
ball we'll directed scatters the pins
in bowling alley.
The varied outcries are something

astonishing, and indicate tremendouS
excitement on the part of those COP
cerned.
Meanwhile, Dick has not been idle.
BY his energy he has succeeded in
convincing Barcelona that once more
he is getting the worst of it all.
Dick avoids closing with the bull
fighter, since he has no lighted cigar
now to jab in the others eye. He
keeps Tordas at a safe distance and
proceeds to hammer him with all the
scientific points he has ever learned.

Indefinitely Postponed.

She was an economical, Industrious
and ambitious young wife, a writer
in the New York Tribune says. and
often tried to persuade her husband
to give up smoking. One day sne
pointed out to him, in exact figures,
how much he spent on tobacco in the
course Of a year.
And you would be better on" size

as financially, without your pipe"
But all great men have smoked"
he urged.

Swift & Company

Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort Worth. The same methods of pur, has ing cattle. sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers. representing packers. local slaughterers in various cities, and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company.
 The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago. consigns them to a con. mis- sion firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commis- sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates All buying must be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and naturally strives to get the highest possible price for his client.

Wholesale Distributing Houses.

A wholesale distributing house Is a giant refrigerator. but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dol lars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick. the insides being llned-foor. walls and ceiling with highly polished hardwood The floors are covered daily with fresh saw dust and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses in various cities of the United States. and the public is al- ways welcome to visit them.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on a mar gin of less than cents to each dol lar of sales Swift & Co. do net sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughter CTS throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competition with the packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in competition with the local slaughterers. There are nc secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories. and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions.
