CATTLB-A Fridays cattle market is
never very interesting. receipts being light
and the trade generally without feature.
That was the case this morning.
There was fair demand for beef steers
but the supply was so light and the quality
so ordinary that the market not par
ticularly active or interesting. What few
cattle there we're generally brought about
the same prices as yesterday, sellers as a
rule quoting II steady.
Cows and heifers were also steady with
yesterday and the trade without new or
noteworthy feature. The few loads In sight
changed hands as a, general thing in fair
season and the market closed early for
want of more cattle to sell.
Stockers and feeders sold freely, and in
spite of the fact that II was Friday when
the demand is generally supposed to be
limited. Quite a considerable proportion of
the receipts consisted of that kind of cattle
but they nevertheless brought about steady
prices, at least anything that was good.

~ forgotten You and myself and
everything but the story It's
near morning and I've n weary tongue.
Another log and one more pipe. Then,
Sir, I'll let you go. I'm near the end.
Let me see. It's a winter day in
New York city after four years. The
streets are crowded. Here are men
and women, but see only the horses.
You know, sir, how love them. Well,
here Is big stable. A tall man has
halted by Its open door and addressed
the manager.
II learn that you have bay mare
with starred face and a white stock
ing 1t is Trove who speaks.
Yes. There she is coming yonder'
"The mare is rack of bones, limp
ing, weary, sore. But see her foot lift!
You can't kill the pride of the Barbary.
She falters. Her driver lashes her over
the head. Trove is running toward her.
He climbs front wheel, and down
comes the driver. In minute Trove
has her by the bit. He calls her by
name-Phyllis! The slim ears begin to
move. She nickers. God, sir, she is
trying to see him. One eye is bleeding,
the other blind. His arms go round her
neck, sir, and he hides his face in her
name. That mare you ride-she Is the
granddaughter of Phyllis. I'd as soon
think Of selling my wife. Really, sir,
Darrell was right. God III mind the look
of your horses"
So spake an old man sitting in the
freight.
"rrove Went home with the mare"
he continued. "She recovered the sight
Of one eye and had box stall and the
brook pasture-you know, that one by
the beech grove. He got home the day
before Christmas. Polly met him at
the depot, charming lady, sir, and a
child of three was with her, a little
girl, dark eyes and f1axen curly hair.
You remember Beryl? Eyes like her
mothers.
II was there at the depot that day.
Well, 1t looked as If they were still in
their honeymoon.
"'Dear little wifey said Trove as he
kissed Polly. Then he took the child in
his arms, and went to dinner with
them. They lived half mile or so out
of Hillsborough.
Hello" said Trove as we entered.
Here's merry Christmasv
Polly had trimmed the house. There
against the wall was tapering fir
tree, hung with tinsel and popcorn. All
around the room We're green branches
of holly and hemlock.
"I'm glad you found Phyllis said
ahe.
Poor Phyllis! he answered. They
broke her down with hard work and
sold her. She'll be here tomorrow

she began to prattle and tug at him.
They saw his knees bend q bit. All,
sir, it seemed as If the baby We're pull
ing him down. He gently pushed the
child away. They heard little cry, a
kind of a wailing 'Oh-o-o,' like that you
hear in the chimney. Then, sir, down
he went in his tracks, quiyering little
heap, and lay there at the foot of the
tree. Polly and Trove We're bending
over him. Cap and wig had fallen
from his head. He was an old man.
Fatherv Trove whispered, touching
the long white hair. oh, my father,
speak to me! Let me-let me see your
face
"Slowly-slowly the old man rose,
Troye helping him, and put on his cap.
Then, sir, he took a step back and
stood straight as king. He waved
them away With his hand.
Nay. boy, remember,' he whisper.
