CHAPTER vlII.-can,inued.

The ground was somewhat soft in
the shadow and footprints were dis
cernible in the low spot where the
carriage had fallen. There Were
marks of a woman's shoe and a mans
albeit a man of small feet. by the
side of the carriage door and other
marks around the horses. From the
trampling and hoof marks Seton con-
cluded that the horses must have stood
quiet for some time. He surmised that
the inmates of the carriage had taken
advantage of the stop to get out and
go ahead while Strathgate lay stunned.
After a final search Of the interior
of the carriage in which he was re-
wsrded by finding tiny bowknot Of
scarlet ribbon which he thought he
recognized as one that had trimmed
Mistress Debbie's gown. for 1t was a
color she affected. and which he
tucked carefully away In his pocket.
An hour from the carriage he came
upon bay coach horse struggling by
the wayside. with certain portions of
harness dragging from him. Here was
another mystery. II there had been
two horses, where was the other?
Why was he abandoned in the high
road not soul being near? The
horse permitted him to get close
enough to enable him to see that the
traces which dangled from his sides
had been severed by a knife. There
could be no doubt that this was one
of Darlington s coach horses.
There was no reason on earth, IL
fhov Ind OF ,u., f4-
doning one.
He galloped down the road and in
few minutes came to little fishing
village. Some of the fishermen had
gone of for the days work in their
boats. but one grizzled sailor was
moodily pacing up and down the little
wharf. Refining his horse In on the
shore. Seton hailed him.
my man." he said. have you seen
anything of two or three people, two
women and a man inquiring for a boat
this morning."
NO." growled the man, but had
boat at this wharf, the best boat
In the haven, and when l come down
this morning at five o'clock she was
gone"
"Gone!" cried Seton, dismounting
from his horse in his excitement.
What do you mean?"
Just what I say, your honor" re-
turned the man. She was tied right
there"-he pointed to one of the
spi1es-"and when l got up / was the
first man down here at the wharf, she
was gone"
WAS there any message-any clew
any sign?"
''Naught but this" returned the sail
or. pulling out Of his pocket handful
Of shining guineas.
Here was proof positive to Seton.
We'll. my friend. don't see that
you have anything to complain Of"
"How's that. sir?" queried the sailor.
Certainly the boat was hardly
worth more than five guineas."
Nov, want to know how far 1t is
from here to Portsmouth?
"A matter Of between 80 and 40.
leagues. dependin' on the wind" said
the man.
would your boat be big enough to
make that distance?"
Lord love yer honor, she's big
enough to 60 to France"

Those persons who we're filled with
curiosity and apprehension 1T seeing
Dick Deardorff dressed up "fit to kill"
all day last Friday without any appar.
emit reason therefor will probably be
glad to learu that the occasion was not
ma to justify their natural suspicious.
No, it was like this, you sec: Dick and
Will Hicks sat some lines out on North
Fork Thursday night, and ross bright
and early Friday to inspect the same.
Now, it tcharced that a foolish catfish
had meddled with ono Of their hooks
and fallen a victim thereto. As they
approached this line 10 boat Dick cav
it was loaded and, standing 10 the bow,
struck an oar down 10 thu water to stay
their progress. Alas for the frailty OF
human calculation! For, whereas
Dick thought tbs water at least six foot
deep it was really only about eighteen
inches, SO that his manly thrust sent
the oar deep Ia the mud. or course
the boat stopped, but Dick didn't. He
himself has only hazy recollection OF
what followed, but Will Hicks says Dick
turned at least three summersauIts 10
the air and landed on bis back lin the
water with splash that thoroughly ir.
rigated a co-nfield on each bank
"Now, I'm some swell acrobat, amt r."
observed Dick diseustedly as be roso
from the muddy depths. And just to
prove it he pounded the genial Mr..
Hicks, who was purple 10 the face with
laughter, over the back with an oar un.
til his breath returned. Now we're not
insinuating that Dick has only two
suits of clothes, but when fellow has
to make complete change he might as
we'll wear his best. of course. We for
got, by the way, to inquire whether
they got that catfish or not.

The KANSAS CITY MARKET.
Prices Continue High, Says the News
Special Correspondent.


Ksrsas City Stock Yards. March 30,
1908. Cattle receipts last week we're
Al, 600 head, an increase OF 10000 head
over the supply previous week, but de-
mand was keen. and sellers again had
all the advantage. Allowing for re-
action OF 10 to Is cents after Wednesday
which was the high day last week,
steers made net advance of 80 TO 40
cente, COWS held about steady, hsifsrs
shade lower for the week, stockers and
feeders 10 to Is cents lower. The run
is 1900 here today, and fairly liberal
elsewhere, and the market is 10 to Is
lower and close OF last wvek. The adj
vance 10 price Of meat TO retailers last
week, inaugurated by the packers, will
have tendency to curtail consumption,
which, together with the strong desire
OF many feeders to liqu,date while
prices are high, and before the active
orening OF spring work ON the farms,
will likely bring lower level Of prices
for week or so, but the impression
prevails that prices will average high
for the next two months or more and
cattle continue to look like money ID
the bank. A top Of 81. Is was paid for
a full Load last week. odd head at s7.25.
and numerous lots at 500. Top price
today is $3.50, other good sales at 90. rs
and $685., bulk OF steers $500 to $500,
top heifers $685. bulk s4.25 to s6 90,
COWS 1926 toS5.5o, bulls $3.50 to $685.,
calves s4.0O to $500, feeders a 90 to
1915, stockers 1915 to $50. Cattle re-
ceipts will show shortage for the
month, as compared with March last
year, less than s per cent.
Hog receipts fell of 60O0 head last
week, from previous week, aud prices
jumped up rapidly, finally setting 70 to
30 cents above the close Of tho week be-
fore. Run is 5000 head today, market s
higher, closing at the best point OF the
day, top $500, bulk 1896 to $685., light
hogs IS SO to $50, pigs generally 10

aggregate 100000 head, greatest mum.
Der ever received at Kansas City during
that month. Dealers are at sea as to
thelfutpre prospects, except that lighter
receipts are almost certainly. Trend
of prices will depend on wheth' or not
the rise in prices cuts down consumI-
ton appreciably.
A hot market prevailed In the sheep
yards all Of last week, prices showing
net advance of 20 to 81 cents on all kind.
Supply was $4,000 head, about the sam Q
as previous week, but 5000 head short
of same week last year. Run 10 5000 to-
day, market strong, and sales at the top
