value in his eyes Of late. well, it's
worth a lot of money" he assured her
feeling certain that this speech was
accurate.
Perhaps he's lost it and Is afraid
to retuxn," she suggested.
He smiled, remembering the instruc
lions he had given Rankin. IF he's
lost 1t he'll return all right--to claim
the reward"
For losing it? How funny?"
Eyes; isn't it?" He laughed But
It wouldn't be SO funny II he hadn't

Heavens! Suppose Rankin should
find 1t really impossible to get rid Of
Mrs. Gerard!
But Of course Josie could not un
derstand The conversation puzzled
her. 1t did not hold her as had the
talk which had preceded 1t.
She rose, as Clara came back, al
most running. This charming country
maiden very evidently had satisfied
her curiosity as to the looks of Rob

Broadway looked at him with real
surprise and hearty gratitude. 1t
seemed that even this was coming

loyalty to the people of this little
town Is commendable, sir. You de-
serve great credit, and want to shake

Thanks, Mr.. Wallace, but the credit
really belongs to Bob" The delight
which Broadway felt was plainly aud
ible in his voice.
Bob laughed. IT knew he'd say
that!"
''He has told me Of your modesty,"
said the elder Wallace. Il am very
proud that you have taken him into

market value we'll fight them to fin

As the result of partisan legisla-

submit to a most arbitrary and un-
necessary tax, which a Democratic
Congress insists on forcing on the
business men and wage earners Of
the country, instead of reducing their
appropriations by nearly 100000
0OO for projects which are necessa-
ry, if not questionable, or by restor-
ing tariff duties which, on sugar
alone would bring in a revenue OF
over $50, 900 900 per year

L. y. Guarantees Union stock Yards
VI Chicago.

Washington. October 31.-The De
partment of Agriculture to-day quar-
antined the Union Stock Yards at
Chicago to prevent shipment of cat.
tie except for immediate slaughter
because of foot and uouth disease.
This explanation of the government s
action was issued at the Department
of Agriculture:
Because of the danger that cat
tie infected with the fOut and mouth
disease may have passed through
them, the Union Stock Yards in Chi
cago have been Quarant!nel ny the
secretary OF agriculturn immediate
ly.
Under the provision of this quar-
antine. no cattle. sh eep or swine can
be moved from the stock yards in
interstate or foreign commerce, ex-
cept for the purpose of immediate
slaughter and under permits issued
by federal inspectors. In such case
they must be transported in sealed
cars placarded For immediate
slaughter The stock in these cars
can only be unloaded into reserve
pens, which have been designated
for this purpose by the chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry. Ship
ments of stock into the yards from
uninfected areas must be unloaded
through cleaned and disinfected
docks and alleyways under the super
supervision of the federal officials.
when reloaded the stock must be
placed in cleaned and disinfected
cars and the cars officially sealed.
up to the present time no case
of foot and mouth diseases have
been found in the Union yards. but
there is some reason to believe that
infected stock may have passed
through"

The government today as a precau-
ton because of the prevalence of the
foot and mouth disease in Southern
Michigan and Northern Indiana. af-
fects only about 10 per cent of the
receipts and is for ten days only, ac-
cording to w. j. O'Connor. assist
ant general manager of the stock
yards company.
"The order affects only those cat
tie which are sent here to be fatten-
ed before slaughter" said O'Connor.
at seems that for ten days we can
not ship them out to the feeding
farms. Its only effect will be for
the time being to reduce this class
of receipts. Growers who want
their animals fattened before selling
to the packers will simply hold them
back until the ban is lifted. There
has been none of the disease at the
yards, nor any symptoms of it,"
1t was said today that the meat
orders from Europe have swamped
the capacity of the big packers and
that it might be necessary for them
TO sublet some of their contracts to
the so-called independents.
