 Above the empty place sat the Duke--a dazzling figure in a suit of shimmering white satin with diamond buttons that looked like drops of water.
 Alone Of all that company he did not abuse the wine, Again and again he waved away the yelvet-footcd lackeys that approached to pour for him.
 From the chilly heights of his own unusual sobriety he found them gross and tiresome: their laughter jarred on him. He strained his ears 10 catch some rumble of wheels in the courtyard.
 Sedley in maudlin voice began to sing a very questionable song of his own writing, whilst Miss Howden made a comedy of pretending to si- fence him. He was still singing it, when Stanhope sprang up and mount. ed his chair, holding aloft dainty shoe of which he had stripped Miss seymour and calling loudly for wine. Pretty little Anne would have snatched back her footgear but that she was restrained by Ogle. who not only held her firmly, but had pulled her into his lap where she writhed and screamed and giggled all in one,
 Solemnly, as if it were the most or dinary and natural of things, lackey poured wine into the shoe, as stan hope bade him. And Stanhope, standing .above them, gay and flushed, proposed toast the terms of which I have no intention Of repeat ing.
 He was midway through when the twin doors behind the Duke were thrown open by a chamberlain. whose voice rang solemnly above the gen eral din.

 There was a momentary pause as of surprise: then louder than ever rose their voices in hilarious acciama- tion of the announcement.

BRIEFS FROM STOCK SHOW
in DENVER LAST WEEK

Denver stock show was up to the
standard and attracted the usual big
crowd of stock growers, many of
whom came from the East to purchase
prize cattle. In the great Feature
sale hundreds of carloads of money
making feeders were sold to Eastern
buyers and shipped to eastern mar
kets. At the Hereford sale Wednes-
day afternoon, bulls were in demand,
while the demand for females was not
so brisk, yet, they too, brought a fair
price. Superior 4th," the two-year-o
bull owned by P. l. Sullivan, register
ed the high price of $1,000, and the
females averaged 1921. Fifty-one
male and females sold under the ham.
mer averaged s365.50. At the Short
horn sale buyers from five states par
ticipated, when thirty-five head were
sold. The bulls averaged s160.77 and
the females S11614. The number of
hogs exhibited this year was less than
in former years but the competition
was closer as the uniformity in quail
ity and type surpassed that of former
years. This year the three largest
herds exhibited were entered by the
Brauer Purebred Duroc Company of
Colorado Springs. Encouraging to the
stockmen is the increase in price Of
the fat show animals this year over
preceding ones. s25 per cwt for the
grand champion car of hogs this year
as compared with s13 per cwt. and
$3.50 for the grand champion load of
lambs against SIT in 1923. The grand
champion steer sold at s31, the grand
champion carload at SIT and the re-
serve champion carload at S13 which
was trifle below that of 1923. This
year marked the fiftieth anniversary
Of organization affairs among the live
stock growers of Colorado. At their
Golden Jubilee" Pres. White, who ad-
dressed them, said, Some rapid
changes have taken place in the stock
business during the last few years,
but l honestly believe the crisis is
passed and there is a real future for
mess. There is a limit to the time a
man can operate in losing game.
Government price-fixing put many
farmers out of business and more are
on the verge of failure unless given
a little extension of time. Ours is
big industry. The live stock of Colo
RADIO is valued at more than s96 ,0OO, 900
and the value of decided land used in
the industry reaches an astonishing
figure" The speaker spoke of the
need of adjustment of taxation. He
reviewed the achievements of the ass
citation in the past and spoke with OPP
timism of the future.
A feature of the show was the
splendid educational exhibit put on
by the Canadian Government which
was in charge of Knute Haddeland OF
the Canadian Government informant
ion Bureau and w. F. Anderson, Re
source Agent Of the Canadian Nation
al Railways, the former located at
Great Falls, Montana and the latter
at Seattle, Washington.
