put on fat. We handle cnly the
highest grade of cattle, and under
this system of feeding we can see
them gain in weight each day and
at the same time they seem to
round out and become glossy as
they increase in flesh. We had
for many years fed cattle IN the old
way, plain corn and hay, with all
the wa er they could drini,. Cattle
can be fattened that way, of course,
but it takes longer and costs much
more, and they do not possess the
fine finish when they are ready to
&c to market as those fed under
the new system. Best Of all is the
great difference in the cost.
In our neighborhccd since we
started to feed this way many 9TH
ers have fallen into line and are
feeding the same way. In no case
has anyone who has given this a
trial doubted but what it was far
cheaper than; the old way, and no

Just moment-if we find the trail

Certainly, yes. Adiutant, write out
the order. Anything more?"
Il should prefer two men of my own
troop, sir, mounted"s
Very we'll; see to it, Captain
The two men walked down past the
dark row of officers houses, the Ser
geant step to the rear on the mar
row cinder path. McDonalds quarters
were as black as the others, and there
was no response from within when
Kane raped at the door. They tried
the rear entrance with the same re-
sult-the place was plainly unoccu-
pied.
Pick out your men, Hamlin," the
Captain said sternly, land I'll call the
stable guard"
Ten minutes later, fully equipped
for field service, the three troopers cir
cled the guard-house and rode RAPIDLY
down the dark road toward the yellow
lights of the town. The Sergeant ex-
planned briefly the cause of the expedi-
ton, and the two troopers, experienced
soldiers, asked no unnecessary ques-
tons. Side by side the three men rode
silently into the town, and Hamlin
swung down from his saddle at the
door OF the dance hall. With. a word
to the guard he crossed the floor to in
tercept Mrs. Dupont. The latter re-
garded his approach with astonish-
ment, her hand on Captain -Barrett's
blue sleeve.
Certainly not" she replied rather
sharply to his first question. Il am not
in charge of Miss Mcdonald. She is
no doubt amusing herself somewhere;
possibly lying down over at the hotel;
she complained of a headache earlier
in the evening. Why do you come to

Yes broke in the Captain, that
is what ! wish to know, Hamlin. BY
what authority are you here?"
The orders of the Colonel command
