DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. March
26.-Receipts of cattle here during the
week lust past are rather heavier than
the preceding week, but the supply
was still limited. Bulk Of the offeringl
consisted of beef steers and rather too
many of this class came for the good
of the trade. The same was true at
other markets and prices closed gen.
orally lower at all points. Market here
is 1Oc to 15c lower on the best kill
ing steers with medium and habitat
kinds about quarter off, Choice
steers sold at $3.50 with bulk of the
business done from this down to $500.
Good cows were wanted and sold well,
as supply was light. Prices are strong
to a dime higher than week ago. Best
sale made was bunch at $500 and
most of the best killing cows sold at
$500 and up. Medium cows brought
$225 to $2.95 and Gamers from 81 Is
down. Bulls were in light supply and
demand good. Prices closed fully
steady. Veal calves Were hardly as
firm as the preceding week. although
still in good demand. Best here
brought $6.75. Feeder and stocker
trade was quiet as supply was very
limited. Demand was very fair for
the good heavy fleshy feeders, but
common steers were neglected and
rather dull.
The hog supply was better than the
preceding week. but still short of the
demand, which is excellent. Prices
have been well sustained and at the
close market is still about dime
higher than a week ago, with tops sell
ing around $500. Shippers are urged
to send their hogs to the Denver mar.

here are rather better than those pre-
vailing at eastern points.
Sheep receipts were liberal, but o

eastern markets. Offerings were very
fair, however, and good business
done done every day. Ewes continue
in best demand prices closed about
steady. Lambs are weak as demand
is light and eastern markets report an

where. she would invariably say few
words in a gentle. gracious way that
to him seemed divine.
She was musician of more than

to hear him playing one evening in
his room while she sat talking below
with Mrs. Fry. she was charmed into
forgetfulness of her errand by the
rare melody.
"Why, did not know he could play

strains ceased.

"Is it possible!" said Constance.
AS she took her way homeward the
passionate strains followed her until
she reached her own door, and she
knew that he must have opened his
window SO that she might hear him.
Strange. inexplicable man! Would
he have left her as Vane did with
those mysterious journeys all unex-

Down on her knees went Constance
at the thought. and she prayed fer

husbands memory, But even while
she PRAYED sweet strains seemed to
importune her to listen. and the sad,
haunting eyes of Primus Edes to be

But look of decision flashed into
the mans face.

ooh, well, if you must know Mrs.
Hamilton sent it over It's Christmas,
you know, or was last week, and she
always thinks of them that's alone in
the world
With sudden CLEAN of light in his
eyes, the man left her and went into
his room. 1t was Sabbath morning,
and he never came out for hours. If
Mrs. Fry could have seen him with
the coat on, sitting by his table pa
tiently trying to form the letters after
Dams copy, and again and again writ
ing the word Constance, she would
have been puzzled. And the happy,
peaceful look on his face when he
succeeded fairly well, would have puz-
zled her, likewise, for Primus Edes
was not an imbecile in any sense.
Mr. Swan had long ago learned that
Primus Edes came from a Western
city, where for at least a month he
had worked in a sash and blind fac
tory. that he bore a respectable char
acter. was deemed little dull though
a good workman, and that a man
named Harrison Arkwright worked in
the same factory at the same time,
but was now gone away, so 1t was
impossible to learn whether he was
the person who had owned the ar
ticles of clothing marked II. A. or not.
Swan learned to his satisfaction
that Edes neither sent off nor received
letters. Indeed, as appearances indi-
Gated, Edes could not write a legible
letter If he tried. His education must
have been terribly neglected, he once

he handed her an envelope prepared
as he said.
I'll do as you say, but it will be a

at his folly.
But strange to say the good woman
was mistaken. for the day following
Swans departure Mrs. Hamilton
called in to see her.
She found Mrs. Fry at work mend
ing the lining to an old coat.
You find me to work. I've threat

knew perfectly well. Turning it over
she observed that it was sealed.

said Mrs. Fry. whose principles al
ways accommodated themselves to
Mrs. Hamilton's needs, satisfied that
they could not go far wrong.
But Mrs. Hamilton shrank from
having seal broken to wrapper
provided by the receiver. and. besides
what right had she with the CORE
spondence of Primus Edes? Still she
experienced a faint uprising OF curios-
ity regarding the letter so close at
