"Oh, yes. 1t is! You wouldn't have
Miss Pat subjected to the shock of a
demand for ransom. Worse than that,
Miss Pat has little enough faith In
Helen as 1t is; and such a move as
this would be final. This kidnapping Is
partly designed as a punishment for
me, and l propose to take care of it
without letting Miss Pat know. She
shall never know"
Sister Margaret, only half convinced,
drew an envelope from her girdle and
gave 1t to me doubtfully. | glanced
at the superscription and then tore 1t

He stopped In the shadow Of the

last night. She was all right until you
took her away and talked with her at

Rosalind was cutting sweet peas in
the garden where they climbed high
upon a flmy net, humming softly to
herself.
"A penny for your thoughts!" 1
challenged.
She shipped an imaginary flower
from the air in my direction.
Keep your money! I was not think
ing of you! You wear, sir, an intent
commercial air; have you thread and
needles in your pack?"
ut Is ordained that'we continue the
game Of last night. To-day you are to
invade the very citadel and deceive
your aunt. Your cousin has left with
out notice and the situation demands
prompt action"
l was already carrying the suitcase
toward the house. explaining as we
walked along together.
But was | so successful last night?
Was he really deceived, or did he just
play that he was?"
He's madly in love with you. You
stole away all his senses But he
thought you changed toward him un-
a~ccountably on the way home"
But why didn't she tell him?-she
must have told him."
"Oh, / took care Of that I rather
warned her against %betraying us. And
now she's trying to punish me by be-
ing Kidnapped"
Rosalind paused at the threshold,
gathering the stems Of the sweet peas
in her hands.
DO you think" she began, do you
think he really liked mel mean the
real me?"
Like you! That is not the right
word for 1t. He's gloomily dreaming
OF you-the real you-at this very mo-
ment over at Glenarm. But do hasten
into these things that Sister Margaret
picked out for you. / must see your
father before l carry you off. We've
no time to waste, l can tell you!"
The canoe-maker heard my story in
silence and shook his head.
1T is impossible; we should only
get into deeper trouble. l have no
great faith in this resemblance. It
may have worked once on young Gil
lespie, but women have sharper eyes"
But it must be tried!" I pleaded.

troubles, and nothing must be allowed
to interfere. Your sister wishes to see
you; this is her birthday"

 Pasture men say that Kansas pas

Buy CTS want more pounds of the good to choice cattle. Panhandle Kan saS grass steers have sold mainly at $560 to S625 this week. Quar- antine run has been small, mar ket about dime higher in that division on steers, though quality has been absent all week. most of the steers at $4.15 to $5.50. Cows sell at S3.75 to S525, bull $3. co to $4. 30, veals up to $700 stock steers $3.5Q to $500, feeders $4.25 to $5.50. Dealers expect a good run of cattle here next week.
 Hogs received here this week 2S,300, last week 21,S00, same week last year 22,700. There has been the scene of a conflict on the part of packers for lower prices, which was without any net result.

An ap- parent anomoly in the hog market this week was that while Chicago had a top about 20 cents higher than Kansas City right along, yet Armour's drove of hogs at Chicago cost s to 10 cents less than the cost of their drove on this market.

KANSAS CTY, August Is, 19l1.- Cattle received here this week 46, 900, last week 46,700, same week last year 64.200. The shortage from last year this week was felt at all the markets, but salesmen were unable to turn it into an ad- vance in prices, except on the top grades of cattle, which sold g higher than last week. New high figures were paid for fed steers, at $500, and for wintered pasture steers, $700. Some parts of the country are in need of rain, and country buyers were not as many as heretofore. Kansas and 0klaho. ma are about the only spots that have plenty of grass, Missouri Iowa and Illinois buyers not inclined to buy many cattle now, account of failing pastures. This lack of de mand offset the shortage in the run this week, and permitted buyers to treat middle and lower grades of cattle with some ef the same dis

 Tombstone Prospector A suit was filed in the district court this morning wherein Cattle Inspector Porter Mcdonald seized B head of cattle, ranging all the way from 2-month old calves to yearlings. The petition alleges that the cat tie inspector on the 14th of August of this year a short distance west of NaoO and southwest of Hereford did seize and take into possession 55 head of cattle the same bearing the fresh brand, JDC and valued at about $550 The seizure was made because the official question ed the ownership, because the calves were found without the mothers. Wherefore the inspector asks the court that citations be issued requiring the owner or own CTS thereof to appear and prove thelr ownership.

The Wedding Reception.
The palatial home of Mr.. and Mrs.
d. Emmett McInnis, on Main street,
was aglow with lights and lavishly
decorated in yellow and white and
evergreens Thursday evening, when
they entertained at large and beau
tiful reception in honor of the McInnis-
Gray bridal party, it being the nine
teenth anniversary of their wedding.
The same color scheme used at the
church was artistically carried out in
the large reception rooms.
The hall, parlor, library, sitting
room and dining room were elaborate
ly decorated in trailing vines, studded
with yellow and white roses, while
rose trellises embellished each door
way The decorations throughout the
entire lower floor were elaborate and
beautiful, with roses and delicate
greenery everywhere. The wide, long
porch surrounding the home was en-
closed in canvas, while rugs and drug
gets transformed it into an immense
reception room.
The stairway was banked in ferns
and roses as was also the mantels,
while the chandeliers were draped in
yellow, which formed a bell at the
end. Streamers of yellow and white
fell gracefully from the top of the
windows.
The decorations in the library,
where Mrs. A. F. Draughn, in a pretty
blue foulard, with pearl trimmings,
received, varied little in that the
color motif was pink and white, large
pink and white roses and ferns made
the room most attractive. Pink roses
fell from one side of the punch bowls
and were prettily arranged around the
punch table, where Mrs. Joe X. Nc
Innis, in lovely cream net gown over
pink satin and Miss Alma Logan, in
cream marquisette over pink mes
same slip, presided.
Miss Estelle ellis, in blue MESA
line, yelled in, chiffon, with silver and
pearl trimmings, received on the
porch, while Mrs. Stokes V. Robertson
in lovely white lingerie gown over
yellow, welcomed the guests in the
hall. Mrs. w. L. Logan, in pretty
lilac crepe de chine gown, with bands
of gold and velvet and Mrs. B. D
Moore, wearing beautiful white
frock, with cluny lace trimmings, in
troduced the callers to the receiving
line, 1t stood in the parlor and was
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. D. Emmett
MeInnis, Mr. and Mrs. James Emerson
