"But that is what | am here for"
He looked after her as she turned indig-

everything at once?" he asked. "Now

let me speak to you" He pulled
chair forward, but Juliana, instead of
taking it, seized the cake board and gazed
at him angrily across it.

simply hindering me. Your work in the

"Oh, Julianal How crudel" he sighed,
his eyes dancing. Then he added softly,

sat minute longer watching the flutter-
ing hands and the tip of little red ear.
Then he went across to where she was
busily pretending to ignore him. "You

Julana dropped her spoon and the

she was holding without any idea Of how
she intended to use them.

she announced.
He stood looking at her, amusement,
admiration and other things she did not
stop to analyze, in his gaze. "You have
much sweet unreasonableness, Juliana,"
he said; and then with another look he
went away.

the table and watched Juliana moving
about in her big blue apron with her
sleeves rolled up and patch of flour on
her chin. She had not had time to achieve
the pompadour that morning save in a
modified form, and her rather delicate
beauty which was not, strictly speaking,
beauty at all, but the charm of very fair
skin and expressive eyes, was undis-
gulsed. She was getting ready to make
cake, but with his eyes on her she found
herself doing all sorts of irrelevant and
unnecessary things "You won't need

as she lifted down the potato masher.

to the station. Juliana got the dinner
ready to the last detail, taking the greatest
pains. At least Mrs. Wentworth should
realize what a good cook she had lost.
Then she ran upstairs to dress. She got
out tailored linen bought for an emer-
gency and did her hair in the broad gold
brown braids that in their simplicity
added piquancy to the dainty charm
of her face. Then she pulled it all down
again and piled it up into the tremendous
pompadour she had effected since going
out to service, and she put away the
handsome gown and donned one which,
plentifully adorned with lace, had cost
SO 90 ready-made. She was going to play
fair with Mrs Wentworth, Even then
she parted from her reflection in the new
mirror with a smile. But when she ran
noiselessly downstairs intent on the fin
ishing touches, the carriage had returned.
Mrs. Wentworths door was ajar. Her
voice came from it, a mingling of horror
and tears. Evidently she was seeking
the first opportunity to pour her woes into
her husbands ears. "And do you know"
she said, che actually wants to marry

indifferently without speaking. They
were beautifully dressed and had flowers
in their hair, They went into the draw
ing-room.

Safeguard Dynamite

Phoenix, August 15, Inform ation to the effect that large quantities of dynamite and blasting powder were frequent iy left unguarded and in places where they could easily be sto- len, today resulted in the State Council of Defense sending out warnings that all such explo- sives hereafter must be care fully watched.
 According to information reaching the State Defense bo- dy, many tons of explosives could easily be secured by en- emy plotters because of the fail ure' of mining companies, ran- chers and others to keep care full check on them. Each coun- ty council of defense is asked to cooperate in seeing that the explosives are carefully guard ed.
 That the warning is merely to safeguard against the theft and use of such explosives by enemy plotters and that no re- ports of dynamite having been stole>nave reached the State Council, is the declaration of officials of that organization.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Cattle
K C. Mo Al,

I l
 The rains and low prices checked the supply of cattle this week and we had a bumper market. The prime fed steers show an advance of 25 to 35c and have reached the highest notch in the history of the market, tops selling up to 14c per fb. The good classes of beef steers, including grassers. are 40 to 6Oc higher over last Friday, while the common and plain kinds are 75c to s1.OO higher and in lots of cases more. The country demand has been the heaviest of the season, which has resulted in strong competition for the half fat classes of cattle.
 All classes of butcher stuff have been in good demand and are $1.00 per cwt. higher. with the exception of fat yearlings. bulls and calves. Yearlings nave been scarce and about 25c higher. Bulls 25 to 4Oc higher. Veal calves show an advance of 15c to $1 per cwt. while the medium weights show an ad- vance of $1 to $1.5O over last weeks close.
 The receipts of stockers and feeders were light all week. and with a good demand all classes show an advance of 5Oc to $1.00. Stock cows and stock heifers were cleaned up early from day to day and are closing 75c to $50 higher. Stock calves s1 to $1.5O higher.
 Hogs
 W e mad a fairly heavy ship ment of hogs this week and quality much improved. Trad ing has been active, the shin pers taking a good many of the choice hogs weighing from 19O up. Packers have always been good buyers for choice hogs of all weights. The principal feature of trading this week has been the big advance in common grades of hogs. the class that sold so low week ago today. This class has ad- vanced from $1.5O to S2.OO per cwt. as compared with last Fri day. Pig market shows fully S3 per cwt. higher than last week.
 With 2,OOO hogs here today our market ruled active and 15 to 25c higher with exceptions as much as 4Oc higher. Bulk sales $16 to $16.7O. Hogs weighing 200 and over selling argely from $16.25 to $16.75. Lights largely from $15.75 to S16.25, with choice lights avg. around 175 selling here today It 16.OO that would not have brought over $15.25 on We'd lesday. Pigs are selling be- ween $11 and S14.
