CHAPTER XXI.
Alexis, in d wild and disordered
hand, which more than sufficiently re-
vealed the agitation of his mind, wrote
thus:
Dearest. Always dearest. Your
letter cuts me to the heart. l can say
nothing in answer to it, but that my
position makes it impossible for me
either to explain or to extenuate.

shall never dare to be wholly honest
with anybody any more. I have in
volved myself in a maze from which
can see no possibility of escape. A
scrupulous adherence to candOr and
veracity are not the common badges
of you sex, but you are the soul OF
honor in that regard. and / know that
after this enforced confession you can
never respect me again. / see no
course before me except to release you
from q compact into which I ought
never to have enticed you. Go free OF
ME, Lillian, and OF my wrecked and
broken life. When you think OF me at
all think of me leniently; and think OF
me as one who loved you, and will love
you till the end. Good-by. Heaven
bless you. A blessing hurts nobody,

That was all. and II the reader wept
over It, there was little room for
wonder. It left with her puzzles all
unsolved, but it confirmed the chief
suspicion which had tortured her.
Alexis had not dealt honestly with her,
and there was something in his life
which he was fain to conceal, even at
the expense of honor. What that
was she had no means OF
guessing, but 1t was enough that 1t ex-
listed.
When Z woman has really given her
whole heart to man It Is difhcult to
nay what shock her love will not sur
vive. but In Lilian's case there had
been no such surrender. She had ad-
mired Alexis greatly, but she had al
ways found defects Of his character
visible. She could analyze and criti-
else - no woman In love with man
could ever do yet In the history OF the
world, He had never been the man OF

tion OF all the excellences whith which
the female lover dowers the he OF her
choice. She grieved, but
It was vastly less for the breach which
she clearly saw to be inevitable than
Tor the fail Of one whom she had re-
spected and had once believed herself

lowness and disloyalty. She thought
that II Z woman who really loved had

or ana would have declared herself

sake; would have rejoiced to lift him
to his better self again, and to share

But Lillian had no impulse OF that
kind. though her grief and pity were
real enough to throw her into kind
Of low fever. which hung shout her for
many days. She kept her room and
denied hersek to visitors, even to

SHEEP-That the holiday season Is near
at hand was plainly evident by the action
OF buyers this morning. They were all out
early looking closely after good to choice
sheep and lambs, Just as they always are
previous to the holidays. Anything that
could be graded as good sold very readily
at fully steady prices. The market as a
whole might be summed up on the desir-
able kinds as good, steady, active mar
ket.
ON the other hand, anything that was
not good, even thoUsh 1t may have been
pretty fair was more OF less neglected and
was veIy slow sale. Shippers will under
stand that this Is the usual condition at
this season Of the year, as the Christmas
trade demands good to choice stock, while
there is comparatively little sale for the
lower grades. Hence Il follows that this
Is the very worst time Of the whole year
to ship an anything that is not strictly well
finished.

today, the receipts being the heaviest for a
Tuesday for some little time back. There
was a world OF common to medium half-
fat steers and II was very apparent right
from the outset that buyers have had too
many cattle OF that kind. The fact that
the holiday season Is near at hand is
