SMALL HOPE FOR CHEAP BEEF.
More abundant Supply Can Not be
Expected for Some Years i'm Opin-
ion of Expert.

Chicago. Aug. S.-Cheap prices for
beef based on Il more abundant sup
ply Of cattle can not be expected for
several years, according to Nj. r.
HORNE, statistician of the Union Stock
Yards and Transit company, who is
sued statement today connecting
on the record of high prices paid
for cattle in the Chicago markets this
week.
In his opinion the only relief lies
with the farmers of the corn belt who
with improved methods of farming
and the use of corn and alfalfa in
feeding may be able to produce beef
cattle in large number and at a low
or cost in the next few years.
As it will take from three to five
years TO build up a new supply at
the very best possible rate and under
the most favorable conditions" saws
the statistician, IAN abundance Of
beef at reasonably cheap prices need
not be looked for during several years
to come. Certainly no more favorable
opportunity has ever existed than is
now presented to hose who are for
tunate enough to have breeding stock
and are prepared to raise cattle for

Hands Upl

Ali this time Lieutenant Mallory
had been thinking as hard as an Of
ncer In an ambuscade. His narrowing
experiences and incessant defeats OF
the past days had unnerved him and
shattered his self-confidence. He was
not afraid, but intensely disgusted. He
sat absent-mindedly patting Marjorie
on the back and repeating:
Don't worry, honey: they're not
going to hurt anybody. They don't
want anything but our money. Don't
worry, I won't let 'em hurt you."
But he could not shake OF a sense
OF nausea. He felt himself q repre-
sentative Of the military prowess OF
the country, and here he was as help
less as a mah on parole.
The fact that Mallory was a SOL
der occurred to number of the pas
sengers simultaneously. They had
been trained by early studies In those
beautiful works of fiction, the school
histories of the United States. and by
many Fourths Of July, to believe that
the American soldier is an invincible
being, who has never been defeated
and never known fear.
They surged up to Mallory in a
wave Of hope. DR.. Temple, being near

experience that his own prayers were
not always answered as he wished,

Mrs WhitcOmb had an inspiration.
She ran to her berth, and came back
with a tiny silver-plated revolver.
"Tll lend you this. Sammy gave it
to me to protect myself in Nevada!"
Mallory smiled at the .22-caliber
toy. broke 1t open, and displayed an
empty cylinder.
Where ara the pills that go with
it?" he said
"Oh, Sammy wouldn't let mo have
any bullets. He was afraid I'd hurt
myself"
Mallory returned 1t, with a bow. "It
would make an excellent nut-cracker."
Aren't you going to use it?" Mrs.
WhitcOmb gasped.
''It's empty" Mallory explained.
"But the robbers don't know that!
Couldn't you Just overawe them with
it?"
mot with that" said Mallory. "un-
less they died laughing"
Mrs. Wellington pushed forward:
Then what the devil are you going to
do when they Gomez"
Mallory answered meekly: IF they
request 1t. shall hold up my hands"
And you won't resist!" Kathleen
gasped.
Not resist"
"And he calls himself a soldier!"
she sneered.

was: "A soldier doesn't have to be

turned white. but Marjorie red. and
made leap at her. crying: He's the

This reheartened Mallory a little.
and he laughed nervously, as he re-
strained her. Kathleen retreated out
of danger. with parting shot: Our

his hand: "Wili you return the brace
