cashier filled Hamiltons place for this
present, but it was uncertain how long
he could be retained. as his health
was delicate and his means such as
placed him above the necessity of CO.
ing any business.
Tory was still there, but his position
seemed at times most irksome. The
strain on his nerves and temper dur-
ing the Investigations left an unpleas-
ant impression, for he was sensible
that for several days he had been
looked uron with suspicion. This fact
placed him in sympathy with Hamil-
ton, and he had more than once been
heard to say that he believed the
missing cashier to be an innocent
man.
He had been informed by President
Hastings of Bruce's discoveries in the
West. He had not called to see Mrs.
Hamilton since he carried her the
ominous statement of her husband S
return to the bank. Somehow he
shrank from going there. but when he
chanced to meet her he bowed With

both pretty and graceful.
Mora Ashley. as l live" calculated
Mr.. Hayes with great excitement.
Nora, did you say?'
"Yes. that is what Ashley called her,
and that is Ashley himself.
Bruce scanned the figure with more
interest even than he had the beauti-
ful Nora, but never having known
Hamilton personally he could not tell
whether it closely resembled him or
not. In a general way he thought 1t
looked like the photograph he had, and
which Mr.. Hayes had already declared
to look like Ashley. The description
given in the advertisement also agreed
with what might be said of Ashley, eX-
cent that the latter. when in Val
paraiso, wore long whiskers.
soon after the two men separated
with mutual good words, and Bruce,
going straight to his room at the VIII
loughby House, wrote detailed ac-
count of what he had learned at Val
paraiso regarding Ashley, the bank de-
faulter. who he was inclined to believe
could he no other than Hamilton him
self. Indeed, the presence OF the
woman, called Nora by Ashley. and
having emerald colored hair, seemed
almost proof positive.
After detailing the account. Bruce
went on to say, or rather to ask,
whether Mr.. Hartwell would take
mains to learn without doubt what
hoard Hamilton wore two years ago
during his customary May journey-if
he had long whiskers in addition TO
n,ustache. Also. Bruce desired to
know the exact date when Hamilton
left Grovedale, whether it was as early
as the 10th, for it now appeared that
Ashley came to Valparaiso the 18th.
Mr.. Hastings, on the receipt of this
letter from the detective, was much
nerplexed. How could he gain the de-
sired knowledge without going to Mrs.
Hamilton herself? Mr.. Hastings was
a STRAIGHTFORWARD man. To approach
her with subterfuge or concealments
was so repugnant that he would not
entertain the idea for moment. He
made various futile inquiries and final
ly decided to call upon Mrs. Hamilton
and plainly state the case to her, ask
ing at the same time for the informa-
ton, if she chose to give it.
He did so. though not without ex-
treme reluctance. Mrs. Hamilton re-
ceived him in polite, If somewhat
distant, manner, and after few com
monplaces. Mr.. Hastings broached the
object of his call.
Blu, please do not consider my re-
quest to be in the least imperative.

of the local rubber factory, has re-
turned from a trip to Washington.

of Ashley and his wife, and the theory
is that they were looking through the

window which bore the photograph.

the dining room. The Ashleys dined
late. and they, perhaps, arose from the
table, probably after dark, or it may
be they turned down the lights the
better to watch the storm, and stood
looking out at the river. Be this as it
may, the outlines of two figures. a

Many important amendments were ac-
ceptcd, but only in one case was IL
modification agreed to that was not in
accordance with the wishes of the
managers of the bill. The exception

sion in Boston that Judge Ben Lindsey
of Denver has in his series of ad-

The westerner has offered real criti-

that the majority heartily approve of

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
week Just past has been very salts
factory one in the cattle market. Re.
CENTS at all points have been compar-
atively light and there has been an eX-
cellent demand for good cattle with
the result that prices are little
higher on the best. Receipts here
were very fair and average quality
pretty good There was. however, a
good many common cattle here and
trade on these was dull. as buyers
were hard to interest On the good
Kinds the movement was active every
day at strong prices and values at the
close were 10@15c higher than the
preceding week. Common cattle closed
about steady. Packers were espe-
cially active and bought everything
they could use. Supply of beef steers
was fair but not heavy and more could
have been disposed of Some good
ones brought $3.50, the high price of
.he week. and bulk of those offered
sold at 81 and better. Best cows
brought $3.50 with the fair to good
grades largely at $3.00n3.5O. medium
TO fair at S2.25M2.95 and Gamers at
S1.5OM2.25. Bulls We're good sellers
at steady prices and veals were lit
tie stronger Demand was good for
veals and tops brought $3.50. Feeder
and stocker demand was good and the
supply here very fair. There was a
number of ou.side buyers on hand and
dealers were making active inquiry
and the result was an avtive move
ment of good steers.
The hog supply was fair but not
heavy and packers have had a chance
to get some of their sulplus worked
off Prices are about 20c higher than
week ago and closed at the high
point since last August tops now be
isg quoted at Sc. Demand is very good
The sheep supply has been very fair
but a good many billed through. Quite
number were offered. however. and
all sold at about steady prices. East
ern markets are weak and in some
cases lower as the supply has been
heavy and too many habitat sheep
and lambs have been rushed in to
