Hla flrat call led to second. The

Minna aaw In bin a haodaom, well

"I've found out 1" proclaimed Harold
in a Ion -of exultation.
"Found out what?", Inquired Minna
"About Dltaon. I never liked hla

Humph) I fancy after thla you'll

"It's tru, Just th same," persisted
Harold, angrily. "I tracked blm

"tou will bav to prov more than

stubbornly.
"All right. Walt a day or two and
see I" vaunted Harold.
Minna tried to be itesdfnst In her

that waa a headquarter for th
smugglers, sh would bav shuddered.
H seemed to be on of th grliiled
rough looking crew who were await
ing th arrival of a skill carrying
contraband gooda from tba Canadian
shore.
Rolf sat on an upturned keg Just
within the cave, when he was In
tensely startled. On of th band
cam Into view, forcing before blm
a primmer.
"I found him spying on us," th
muggier explained. "In his pocket 1
found a not showing that b ha put

"Settle lilror hoarsely commanded
tli leader of th crowd. "Her, you"
to th captor and to ltolfe "take

"Her brother I" breathed Rolf, a
h recognized Harold Graves.
Harold was th wore for a, sever
struggle and did not notice Rolfc, -who
with til captor started to obey th or
der of th smuggler chief.
"Till will do," said Rolfs' mug
gier companion, they got out of
light of the cav. "Join In, mat, and
help finish blm," and b drew bis
revolver.
"Run for your llfl" whispered
Rolfe quickly In th ear of the stsrtled
Harold Graves.
In that flashing aecood the latter
recognised ltolfe. He uttered a cry
of profound amazement but was quick
to avail himself of th offered op
portunity for eacap.

It wa an excited, pitiful story that
Harold told to bis sister when be

tbst Rolf could not be on of th

II saved me, that' all I know, and
I'm sorry for blm," said th subdued
Harold.
'And your work has brought blm

With a great cry, th next morning
Minna aprang from the porch to greet
a brlak, smiling visitor, Rolfe Dltson.

'I waa employed aa a government

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR BEEF CATTLE
V
(frapar jr lha Unlt'4 Siaia rj.prlmt
ArlcuHHr.)
Higher prices for beef cattle ar In
proapect within th next IS months
for both tb feeders and rung pro
ducer, according to th report on th
outlook for beef cattle mude by tb
Itepartment of Agriculture. An. up
ward trend I probable over the next
two or three year, the department
ay. The number of breeding stock,
of cattl on feed, and of young stock
seem to be materially lower than for
several years so thst reduction In th
market movement is expected.
While no conaiderable reduction in
th number of stock beld by rungs
men was made fur some time iflerth
break of 1020, the number of ateers
bas been reduced during the lnt three
or four years accompanied by a lea
rapid reduction In the number of cows.
The lucreaslug number of cows and
belferi now being slaughtered Indi
cate further reduction In breeding
t'H-k still being made. It doea not
appear, therefore, that the number of
cows Is suflldeut to long maintain tb

In tb Southwest there are lighter

and ther la a possibility of the cat
tlemen in that area becoming active
buyers with changing condition. The
full extent of the reductions which

on beef prices.
The situation In regard to the prob

Is uncertain. The mark-in between the
present prtc of fed cattle and feeder
cattl Is exceptionally narrow, and the
present prospects sre for a rwrn crop
considerably smaller than last year,
but there will be a heavy carry-over of
old corn and th number of bogs is
till low.
ProMcts for a fair supply of corn,
only a alight Increase In the number
of hog to be fed, and decrease 1n
cattle available for feeding will tend
to maintain the price of feedr on
level slightly higher than that which
prevailed In the fall of HTO. accord
