Get Rid of Hacking La Grippe
 COugh--It Weakens

For the severe racking cough that comes with lagrippe, Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is wonderfully healing and soothing. It eases the tightness over the chest, raises the phlegm easily and helps the racking, tearing cough that is so exhausting and weakening. R. G. Collins, ex- postmaster, Barnegat, N. J., says: "Foley's Honey and Tar Compound soon stopped the severe lagrippe cough that completely exhausted me. It can't be beat" Will Marian Pharmacy.-Advertisement.

Faltin is a Smart Man

The recent examination by experts to determine whether Faltin was sane or insane evidently was a farce. Fall tin was smart enough to get next to the purpose of the examination and acted his part so well that he saved his neck. Warden Sims, of course, came off with flying colors for not hanging an insane man, and the law why should the law interfere with a politicians ambition ?-Safford Guardian (Dem.)

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 8, 19l6.-There was some weakness in beef steers last Tuesday, but the net change for the week was not mate rial. The close of the week found everything cleared up, and packing houses with hare supply pens, hence everybody was on buying mood to- day, receipts 16,000 head. A large share of the receipts were stockers and feeders, and trade in these was active, at stronger prices. Killing cattle sold at steady prices. Nothing extra good in steers was here, top price $S.25, middle class steers $7 to $S, plain warmed up steers around $6.50. Cows and bulls are selling at higher prices, choice heavy cows S6.50 to $7, choice heavy bulls up to $6.25, '-veal calves also higher, up to S9.50. Stockers and feeders continue to move freely, country demand apparently unsuitable. Outgo last week was
 
 twice as great as corresponding week year ago, and the total shipments for the year 1915 was never before equalled, at 919,0O0 head. Iowa and Minnesota contributed about 150 car loads of cattle today, largely stockers, and some hogs and sheep were also included from northern Iowa. Nine loads Panhandle yearlings, around 600 lbs. average, brought $8 today, but stock steers are selling mainly at $6 to $7, feeders largely at $6.25 to $7, some fleshy feeders taken recently in competition with packers up to $8.10. The cattle market today was encouraging, particularly with the rather liberal run.
 Heavy Run of Hogs
 Hogs arrived to the number of 17,000 head, including 5000 head brought in by packers, most of them bought at Sioux City. Chicago had an enormous supply, and break in prices, and sales here were largely 10 lower, top S6.721z, bulk of sales $6.4O to S6.70. Light hogs are selling re- latively better than week ago, up to $6.65 today. Total hogs packed since the season opened November 1st at western points is 20f6 greater than a year ago, in number of head, butt weights average about 14%6 lighter this year, hence the net gain is ma terially reduced. Sales of cut meats and product are 40 to 50 heavier than year ago, and lard sales show big increase. Shortage of ocean vessels is restricting exports, else the in- crease would be greater. Apparently the hog market is on a firm basis, and able to take care of very heavy supplies.
 Sheep and Lambs Higher
 Sheep and lambs made sharp ad- vance last week, and then suffered a relapse. Today the run is 10000 head and the market is 10 to 25 higher, al- most up to last weeks high level. Best lambs brought 1925 to $9.35 to- day, yearlings $8.25, wethers S6.75, ewes $6.25. Dealers say Northern Colorado and western Nebraska will run lambs fast now, till the market breaks, which would indicate no sky rocket prices during the next month.

had been found reposing in the dead

never before had he seen the rugged,
bronzed face with its fringe of grizzled
beard, and he gave the lifeless form

Felix Hazard was engaged in his
own private den at the Sutherland De-
tective agency's principal Offices, when
a rap sounded upon the door. He
bawled Come I'M" in a tone that was
more a threat than an invitation to
enter, whereupon the door opened and
a tall handsome girl entered and
tossed a bundle of papers upon his
desk.
With an impatient scowl, Hazard re-
luctantly tore his eyes away from his
work; but the scowl was instantly
erased as he recognized the intruder,
and look of pleased admiration took
its place. Interruptions, at a time
when his keen brain was concentrated
upon the unraveling of some particu.
larly knotty problem, we're his abomi
nation; but for Helen Bertel. his co.
worker and friend, he was willing at
any time to lay aside the most press
ing demands.
The girl, disregarding his manifesto
lions of irritation, advanced and laid a
hand upon the bundle of papers.
When you find time" said she,
"here is something the chief wants
you to dip into. He's talked to me
about it, but it's the sort of case that
hardly falls within my scope. There
are some features about it, though,
that struck me as being rather odd"
She broke off to ask, quite irrele-
vanity:
Felix, what is your conception of
the average blue-hlooded Britisher,
one who has money in bales and bar
rels?"
Hazard directed a keen glance at
the lovely, earnest face He was ac-
customed to being called upon thus
suddenly to bridge wide gaps in the
others train of thought, and in the
alert expression above him he now
sought some clue to guide him at least
to an intelligent reply Not finding
any, he returned in affected derision:
"G'wan, there amt no SIGH animal"
Helens fine gray eyes crinkled in
smile. She said:
After you've delved into this you'll
think differently A month or more
ago we were asked, through our Lon
don branch, to find an English scion
of wealth and patrician birth whose

he demanded.
Felix Hazard bent upon him a curl
Gus look, then replied in a tone that
vibrated with feeling:
Because they are an essential part
of the story / have to tell--a presenta-
ton Of facts that will clear the mys-
terry surrounding two cruel murders,
as well as facts that seriously affect
the disposition of the immense villiers
estates"
Villiers paled and half started from
his chair; but he dropped back again,
and, white and trembling, stared at
the detective like man hypnotized.
The lawyer. however, addressed
Hazard sternly.

either justify your words or suffer seri-

Once more alone, Hazard remained
bowed over his desk for an hour OF
more, and it was not until he returned
from luncheon that the bundle of pa
pers REQUIRED to him. He picked them
up, and with no hint that he was about
to enter upon one of the extraordinary
episodes of his career, slipped the rub
Der band and spread them out on his
desk.
He was not to glimpse their con-
tents yet, however. At this juncture
his telephone announcer sprang into
activity with the suddenness of sur
prised RATHER
Drawing the desk instrument toward
him, he learned that an immediate
visit at police headquarters would
probably reward him with information
respecting matter in which he was
interested.
AS the Sutherland agency and all its
branches worked in harmony with the
regular police, he did not ignore this
hint; consequently, a few minutes
later, he was closeted with Police
Lieutenant Cowles and a plain-clothes
man of the central detail.
Ever hear of a rough-looking
fresh-water sailor who answered to the
name of Bill Hughes?" asked Cowles.
Felix Hazard ran over the. list of
sailors in his well-stocked mental di-
rectory, and finally shook his head.
Il can't identify him by your scant
description" he replied. Perhaps. if
/ saw him"
"You can; he's on a slab at the
morgue. He was croaked with one of
these stimulated Dago stilettos.
But the reason called you up
is this"--he handed Hazard a small
newspaper clipping-"we found this
on him."
Hazard carefully conned over the
clipping several times, but it afforded

position at once. In terror and panic
FELTON, arranged a meeting for that
night. Some hours later Hughes was
found with dagger in his heart, his
pockets rified to hide the motive Of the
crime.
Doubtless FELTON, believed that he
left behind no clue to connect him
with the murder; that his father,
Densmore Felton's ownership of the
old Italian stiletto could never be
traced; perhaps he was frightened
away before he could recover the
weapon. For whatever reason, he left
it behind"
During most of the detectives adj
dress everybody had sat as if spell
bound; all except the pseudo Villiers
The man was literally paralyzed with
terror and the black horror of right
eous vengeance that confronted his
unseeing eyes.
Felix Hazard made sign to the two
men who looked like linen-drapers,
and they went and. stood behind the
wretch's chair.
They were Scotland Yard detectives.
Hazard pointed a stern, accusing
finger at FELTON,.

guilty man! There sits the murderer

The ordeal had been too severe for
FELTON,; he collapsed utterly, and few
hours later made a full confession,
verifying at length every one OF Felix
Hazards accusations. The details OF
extradition in due time having been
observed, he was taken back to the
scene of his first crime and ultimately
sentenced to prison for life.
Five days later, in recounting a his
tory of the case to Helen Bertel, Felix
Hazard concluded with this cbserva'
ton:
