Easier for Cattle.

The general cattle situation was
easier than on yesterday. Buyers
paid nearly steady prices for the
best selections. but there were hard
~ enough of that class in the con-
signments to effect the general aver
age of sales. Common to medium
cattle had no well defined value and
were difficult to sell. statesmen re
porting the market lower. Although
trading was slow and extra effort
was made to clear the pens at the
prices and the proportion of cattle
unsold was smaller than on yester-
day There was no good active de-
mand for bulls at strong prices and
aside from top sales the calf market
was about the same as yesterday.
Larger Sheep Receipts.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
larger and fully equal to the urgent
requirements of buyers. Trading
was less active than yesterday and
aside from few lots at top prices
lambs were 25c lower.

Warren-Bie Creek Road Finished.

O. K. Mullin returned from the
Elk creek country last Friday. He
has been working on the Warren
Big Creek wagon road and reports
the road completed and accepted
by the state. The completion OF
this road will open up a big min
ing country and it is believed ex-
tensive freighting and travel will
set in that way next spring.
Contractor Richmond passed
through here Saturday on his way
from Elk creek to Boise. He sent
his wife and child home via Coun-
Gil, but drove through the valley
himself as he wanted to see the
country.

here, and for the greater part of the way it was
necessary to lead the horses. When the plain
was reached, there good going, sometimes over
country roads, sometimes over grass to Miklevni
1t was plain that the expedition could easily be
intercepted by force issuing from SlaVna and
placing itself astride the route but then they did
not expect force to issue from Slavna. That
would be done only by the orders of General StenO
Vics, and Lepage had gone back to Savna to tell
the General that his message was being considered
very carefully considered-in Volseni. General

not move till he heard more. For the rest, risks

''S So it is evident the guns will be in Slavna by
Sunday, Lepage concluded.

Saturday-they Will, said LukoV1tch. And

The General gives very careful information,
observed Zerlovitch looking rather puzzled He
was not so we'll versed in Stenovics methods as the
rest Lukovitch smiled broadly, and even Zerko-
witch gave little laugh.
How are things in S1avna, NJ. Lepage?" the
last named asked.
Lepage smiled little too. General stenovics
is in full control of the cty-during Colonel Stat
nitz absence sir, he answered.
They quarreled?" cried LukovitCh
"Oh, no, sir. Possibly General Stenoyics. is
afraid they might" He spoke again to SoPhy.
Madam, do you still blame me for being the
Generals messenger"
No, M. Lepage; but there is much to consider
in the message Captain Lukovitch II monseigneur
had read this message, what would he have thought
the General meant?
Lukovitch's face full of excitement he
answered her: The Prince wouldn't have cared
what General Stenovics meant. He would have
said that the guns would be three days the river
before they came to Slavna; that the barges would
take the best part of an hour to get through Mievni

a mile of the lock-"
Sophy leaned forward eagerly. Eyes, yes?" she
whispered
And that an escort of a hundred men was
well, might be--nOt enough.
And that riding from Volseni-"
One might easily be at Miklevni before Colonel
Stafnitz and the guns could arrive there.
Zerkovitch gave start, Lepage a quiet smile.
Sophy rose to her feet the Star glowed; there was
even color in her cheeks besides.

they were on the brdle-path they followed in single
file, walking their horses leading them Sophy
and Zerkovitch rode behind. In advance some
hundreds of yards, Peter Vassip acted scout,
coming back from time to time to advise Lukovitch
that the way was clear The night tell hne and
fresh but it was dark. That did not matter; the
men of Volseni were like cats for seeing in the
dark.
The first ten miles passed slowly and tedousy
but without mistake mishap. They halted
the edge of the plain hour before midnight and
took rest and food-each man carried provisions
for two days. Behind them the steep
hills whence they had come; before them stretched
the wide plain; away on their left was Slavna;
straight ahead Mkevni, the goal of their pilgrim
age. Lukovitch moved about, seeing that every

and his weapons in good order. Then came the
word to remount and between twelve and one

But there was more. Beside him all the way

F1FlNE APariSian StOrM

In fact, il was partly to relieve himself Of Mrs
Mays society that Dick had come over to Paris
and could the widow have seen his present
glances Of admiration at the pqrant Fifne she
would never have rested until she, too, had
crossed the silver streak
After the dance came another song, and
could sec that Dick was rapidly losing his head
But after all, | was not his keeper, and when
he left me at the end of Fifnes song, | merely
shrugged my shoulders and thought that Mrs
May must look after her own interests.
At the end of a fortnight Dick had become in
fatuated with this girl and simply refused to
accompany me home to England.
."Say I'm i'll with influenza, anything you like"
he answered, when / asked him what excuse
should offer Mrs. May for leaving him behind
"Pm not coming home for some time"
In vain | begged him not to make a fool of
himself, but Dick was obdurate, and | returned
to town alone.
OF course the first person / met was Mrs
May. and she absolutely followed me in her
brougham and brought me to bay in Bond street
"Dont deny it, she said, fercely, crimsoning
with anger through her rouge. "I know it's
woman. Who is she? Can she be bought off ?
1 will know; don't dare to deceive mel"
Mrs May was a passe blonde anywhere be-
tween thirty and forty, and her somewhat faded
blue eyes sparkled wrathfully as. she tried to
read my face
Really Mrs. May" began, falteringly, "Dick
wasn't well, and"
"Pshawl CALCULATED the angry widow. Don't
make those idiotc excuses Get into the broug-
ham-I insist on speaking to you"
I was compelled meekly to obey, and retain
a very vivid remembrance of the drive home to
Mrs. Mays fat in South Kensington.
In the end [ promised the fearful widow to do
the best | could to bring Dick back to his alleg-
lance. | wrote a stern letter to him remonstrat-
ing with him for his folly and reminding him
that Mrs. May was the only person who could
relieve him of the milestone of debt that hung
round his neck Dick, however, remained OBJ
durate, and l was obliged to confess to Mrs
May that my commission had utterly failed.
81 shall go to Paris myself" said the widow.
with vindictive expression in her eyes "Dick
ought to be ashamed of his behavior. He knows
that our marriage is to come off in four months,
and this is the way he treats his future wife"
For two or three weeks | Saw nothing of Mrs
May, but one day in Regent street came across
the widow Just stepping from her brougham to do
some shopping.
Her face quite radiant with smiles and
she beckoned me gaily to her side.
"Come and lunch with me" she said cordially
IL want to have long talk with you"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-07

Once more drove home with her, and Mrs.
May, unable to keep silence until we reached
her fiat, narrated gleefully the success of her
plans She had put the whole affair into the
hands of a private detective commissioned him
to find out the secret of Dicks prolonged stay
and given him carte blanche to buy of the prob
able feminine rival
In letter received the previous day from her
agent Mrs. May had learned that Fifne had
agreed to accept the sum of hundred pounds
with the condition that she withdrew from Paris
for short time and kept her whereabouts a Sc
cret from Sir Richard Waring.
"And Dick will most likely be home this week
and / shall be the happiest woman in England"
ioyfully concluded Mrs. May as ! rose to say
goodbye after lunch
A day or two after stumbled across the re-
calcitrant Dick looking remarkably wretched and
woe-begone.
"Beastly hard lines having to come over to see
my old aunt, and to be told unless behaved well
I should come in for the sum oil one shilling"
said Dick, tearing at his long mustache. "Im
in deuce of scrape at present"
'Nyhat about Ffne" 1 asked, curiously.
ooh! she was lively as cricket" said
Dick, whose face lit up suddenly with smile
"Some relation had left her a hundred pounds
and Fifine was in high glee."
SO Fifine had been cute enough to outwit the
detective, and the real reason of Dicks return
was the illness of his rich aunt, and not the re-
suit of Fifne's disappearance from Paris. l be-
gan to feel highly doubtful of the success of Mrs.
Mays plot.
Another ten days passed, and l heard nothing
of Sir Richard Waring, save that he had sudden
ly disappeared from his accustomed haunts.
One memorable evening Mrs, May burst upon
me in my rooms when ] was engaged comfort
ably smoking my post-prandial cigar.
Come with me at to Dicks rooms," she
said, breathlessly. "You know that his aunt is
dead, and has left him her money, and someone
told me that Dick mad absolutely allowed that
creature to establish herself there in his cham
bers want you to act as protection whilst
speak to Dick"
Against my will was forced into accompany
ing the injured woman her errand. Arrived
at Dicks chambers, Mrs. May heavng with tu
multuous emotion, turned the handle of his sit
ting room door, and entered boldly without any
warning knock.
At the sight that met her eyes the brideelect
uttered an indignant scream.
Seated by the fireplace in cosy armchair was
Sir Richard Waring, fondly caressing the raven
hair of the piquant-loo1ing woman in the amber
silk tea-gown perched upon his knee.

ditOr Who Pulled Up Stakes

The old gentleman smiled to himself as he
trudged away-such paternal, benevolent smile
as to seem almost out of place in such an un-
conventional, wicked little frontier town as La
riat. As far as the eye could reach were to be
seen the temporary structures of canvas and
tarred paper which were the homes of it's nhab-
itants Up and down the railroad the irst-com-
ers had pitched their tents, and as the town
grew rough streets had been formed, ranging
back to the line of low hills at the east Lariat

end of the new railroad which was rapidly push

Northwest Crouch's, down the road, had until
recently enjoyed that honor But one fine morn
ing after the first train had pushed on to the
present site of Lariat the inhabitants of the old

of thrifty Scotch blood, had engaged in several
mysterious transactions with certain property

BY evening the English syndicate had acquired

railroad in the heart of Lariat, for which it had
paid out some twenty-five thousand dollars Nc

some thousands by the deal, and had he been
