minds OF some people; hut this is
wholly incorrect, While it has the
form of fish because it lives In the

sally agree that 1t belongs to the
mammalia, as it suckles its yeuIg,
has warm, red blood and possesses all
the characteristics OF this class.
There are also evidences that the
whale was at one time, now remote II
is impossible to say, land animal
1t has been demonstrated, which fact
has been verified by the writer, that
the flippers or forward fins, which are
frequently called "pectorals,' just
where the forward legs Of aquadruped
would naturally be, contain all the
bones. joints, arteries, aud nerves
the human arm and hand, while
deeply seated in the interor of the
hinder part Of the animal are found
joints and rudlments OF hind leg bone',
OF no apparent present use whatever,
but which are considered by eminent
naturalsts, who have studied the
subject, as strong evidence Of the fasl
that the cretacean was at one time
an inhabitant Of the land. These
scientists state that it may have
resembled a huge lizard, bat that it'

water gradually caused a process OF
evolution to take place until nature

There are also evidences that it was
at one time probably covered with a
hairy skin. There are still bristles
about its mouth and bose, and the
very young whale calves have distinct
evidences Of hair, which, however,

Market Report.


Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 10. 1909.
Parties who got their steers on the
market the first half of last week
landed on the high spot OF the month
90 far, rs ther, was a break of 10 To
35 cents before the end of the week
on medium Glass fed steers. Cows
held up strong all week, aud all grades
OF butcher stock closed the week at
the highest point of the winter.
StOckers aud feeders eased OF at the
end Of the week as usual, and closed
with small net loss for the week.
Heavy runs OF cattle here aAd
elsewhere today put the situation
completely in the hands OF buyers
who were still further aided by big
lot OF steers put under. the shods at
Chicago late last week for today's
market thee. Run here is $4,000
head, aAd steers are on 10 to IS cests
and low sale at that, best cows
steady, others 10 lower, stSckers aud
feeders stesdy to ten lower. The bad
weather last week, catching many
feeders unprepared and making 1t
difflcult or impossible to gather corn
is given 40 the incentive for market
ing big share Of the run tadsy,
Some Christmas steers cold at $40 90
here today. aad fancy beeves sold at
$500 to $40 so here last week.
Ordinary fed steers are selling at S. 90
to $675, best cows $500, medlum
cows 1872 to $3.50, heifers up to 81 90,
bulls 90 90 to $3.50, calves 81 % TO
So rs, stockers % rs to $500, feeders
81 90 DO SIS so, although not many
feeders bring stove SIS 90. A feature
Of the market last week was the sale
of some New Mexico yearlings 30 an
Ohio feeder at $3.50 per cwt.
The hog market advanced Is to %
cents last week, as receipts were
extremely light, and killers were in
sure straits for fresh pork, and it is
also possible that the strong prices
were bid of the ackers for bigger
runs tsis week. The top Friday
vas Is 50, highest price since the war,
with the exception of 1882, When
there was margin of 80 to 60 cents
between light and heavy hog d,
shereas, today light hogs are only IL
cents below the top. phe supply
today is II 600 head, market 5 to 10
lower, which decline applies mostly |
to weights above 200. Top to-day is
IS As, bulk IS 10 to $40, light hogs
up TO SS 80. The keenness of packers
TO get away from the extreme top
and their ability to use the light hogs |
for fresh meat trade accounts for
their strong competition for weights
under 200.
Sheep and lambs advanced rs to so
cents last week, but lost part of this
on Friday and another Is to % cents |
OF 1t today, supply today 5000 head
Lambs reached sS IS Thursday, but
top today is So 90, yearlings worth up
to Sc 90, wsthers around Sc 90 fer hest,
ewes $3.50 to s5 25 So far this month
receipts have been above expectations,
but everything has been quickly |
taken BY packers, and something near
the present level Of prices, although
highest ever known at this season. is
likely to be maintained.

He looked down at the dark fight of steps,
and the girl watching him closely, saw his lips
tighten. She tried to read the expression of
his ewes; but the moonlight struck him aSlant
and they were hidden in shadow, while the
pure, clean profile was white as an alabaster

Do you want to hear me say it?

We'll. then. it occurred to me- just as think

That's sillv word. More intimate than it

Il wonder WHY" murmured the girl.
Griscom did not answer and they stood
looking down the short flight of steps leading
into the dark vestibule, beyond which shone
glare of light in the court.
We must stop this mind reading" said
tiriscom with touch of austerity. "Rath-

GRISCOM nodded. 1T is Livia's house. +"

Something in the timbre of her voice struck
oddly on Griscoms ear. There was the same
vague note it had held when in the Colosseum.
He glanced at her quickly. She turned and
walked toward the wall at the farther end of
the court
Where are you going?" he asked.
There is a path over there. We can go

How odd!' She stopped in front of the wall.
