Gregory Tresham was dead.
Marcy missed him, for he had been
a kind and indulgent friend. He had
trusted implicitly in Marcy, giving
him the entire management of the
little farm. The village lawyer came
to see Marcy one evening a week
later. He announced to his client
that he was the sole heir to the farm
and that a thousand dollars in the
bank had also been left to him.
All those days Marcy had been
thinking over the last significant ut
terance of Gregory Tresham. 1t
was obvious to him that the old man,
had his strength lasted longer, would
have suggested some change in his
will to favor Hester Vale.
''Mr. Morse" he spoke out now, to
the infinite amazement Of the law
yer, "can that will be destroyed?"
''The will destroyed?" repeated
the attorney, marvelingly. why,
what do you mean?"
well, can it?" persisted Marcy.
Certainly MOTT is on record"
Marcy proceeded to tell Mr.. Morse
of the incident attending the last mo-
ments Of his employer. He stated
definitely that he could not think of
accepting the legacy, when unmis-
takably the dying intention of Mr.. 4
Tresham was to leave it to the girl
he had driven from his love.
Nonsense! Sentiment! Ridicu-
Iousp' stormed the hard-headed law
yer. ga whim of his delirium; that
about Hester Vale. You are entitled
to what you've got, and, as 1 am
glad to say for your own good, you
cannot change the bequest"
All the same, Lucius Marcy quietly |
went to the city the next day and
paid an advance fee to an informa-
ton bureau to try to locate the long
absent Hester Vale.
Then he bought ledger and day
book. Every night Marcy put down |

"Send word that she is wanted at
her former home with Gregory
Tresham," was the return wire
which Marcy sent.
He was working at digging a
drainage trench for the garden one
day when an automobile drove up. A
lady alighted, young, handsome, but
her face was that of one who had.

noted a puzzled look in Marcy's face,
she added: But, perhaps, am best
known here as Hester Vale"
THAT is right" bowed Marcy in
his frank, direct way. ''Will you take
a seat on the porch, please" and
seated, also, he told his story.

He paused, she was staring at him
in a strange way.

tered that you wish to give your
property to me?"
"As Mr.. Tresham desired on his
deathbed, certainly" graVely re-.
spOnded Marcy.
She continued to stare at him.
Then he noted a dim moisture come
to her eyes. She addressed him:
Will you do me favor?"
Certainly, madam"

me rest-rest after all these years
of turmoil and sorrow. All, dear old
home-Would that l had never left

She came out at the end of half an
hour. She put her hand in his own
at parting. She looked steadily into
his eyes.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. May 5.-A little larger
than usual Thursday run of cattle
vas yarded here today, some SIS ears,
or 1900 head. as against 1,043 a
week ago and 1854 the correspond
ing day a year ago.
Trade tone in the killing cattle di-
vision continued to show sluggish
ness. but when a trading basis was
reached most sellers figured that
prices were just in about the same
notches as on the previous day. with
exceptions easier.
Demand for stock cattle lacked
life rs is usually the case towards the
end of the week and most classes
We're quoted as somewhat weaker.
Country inquiry has been fair, but
there was a very small country at
tendance at hand today and this
tended TO make dealers more con
sentative.
Conditions showed a reversal OF
form in the hog department. Re
ceipts were lighter than expected all
around the market map and this ere
ated a bullish sentiment in trade cir
cles. Locally the deal worked out on
a 5m10c higher basis, with the EN-
phasis OF the 10. Tops were boosted
TO $a.65. with the bulk of sales from
$9.45 go.
Nothing new or startling deyel-
oped i'm the sheep house trade. Run
vas limited and prices reported nom
inally steady.
