"Good afternoon! I won't stay to
hear her slanderously dissected!"
Jack burst out. "Not even by the
woman to whom I owe my education
Don't be uneasy I'll pay you every

eald hotly, "but not at your expense

"Let that pass, please," Louise said.
her eyes growing steely. Tell me
exactly what your plans are
"I'm going Into Blaney's office to
study," he replied defiantly.
With this, Jack rushed away to
Elsie. Sore and bruised from the con
fllct with his cousin, he sought com
fort and reassurance. It hurt him to
find her on the verge of tears, sur
Teylng bis ring with a petulant frown
It had been his mother's engagement
ring and was set with a small dia
mond of fine luster. He prlzd It so
dearly he had thought she: trust do
likewise.
"May Cutter ran In to show me her
ling," Elsie said petulantly. "Such
beauty a blue-white solitaire. She
says It cost a thousand and Job

pearls when they marry. It made ni
so ashamed I hid my ring-hand first
but she saw It. So I had to tell her
I was wearing this Just until you had
time to run up to the city and get me
a real ring set In a special design."
"What an unprincipled little fib
ber!" Jack said fondly. with, yet an
unaccountable sinking of the heart
"Don't you think, Jack, It would be
better If you got me the real rtngT 1
know your cousin has a charge ac

"But I'd starve before I added any
thing to It," Jack burst out
At this she tossed her head, saying
with a pout, "Why, she's bound to
give us a handsome present for her
own credit's sake! Juat do as I say
and tell her that settles It I simply
wont let May Cutter put It all over
me as she does.
"Let me tell you a few things," Jack
said, paling to the lips. As briefly and
as baldly as possible he told her of his
cousin's attitude, of his own hopes,
plans, even fears. "I know It's going
to be hard an awful pull, girlie," he
wound up: "but we'll face it to
gether. Isn't that better than being
apart?"
Elsie was sobbing. She had never
dreamed of a situation like' this. Her
plan had been to marry - and go
straight home to the Manners house,
the handsomest in town. Jack was
the heir presumptive he had grown
up there. Miss Louise was so fond
Of him she could never do without
him.
"You say she'll do something for usT
How much do you suppose ? We could
manage fairly on $3,000 a year besides
what you make," she ventured 'doubtfully.
Jack laughed contemptuously. "I
suppote she will furnish the kitchen
for us and give ua half a dozen tea
spoons," he said. "But $3,000 a year!
Why, I couldn't bring myself to take
it It she offered it. I owe ber too much
already."
"You are wickedly foolish." Elsie
sobbed. . "And unkind, too. If you had
told ,me In time I shouldn't be In this
awful hole. Of course I can't marry
you as things are. I have no taste or
talent for starvation. Suppose we
wait a year or two. Maybe 1 can
bring her around. If that turns out to
be Impossible; well, we shall see. I
simply can't stay here forever. Mother
has three other girls younger than I
am, remember; and father will never
be anything but a salaried man."
"Suppose I'm never anything' but
that?" Jack asked abruptly, something
dogged creeping into bis face.
Elsie flushed and returned sharply
"It you are going to let yourself be
so why, the sooner I get rid of this
trumpery the better!
With that she dropped the ring at
his feet. He picked It up and left ber
without a word.
He thought bis heart was broken
Time healed It and his fortunes
mended. He did not marry for ten
years.
Klinor More, the girl ot his mature
choice, was worth the long waiting

ioux City Stock Yard
"Home Market of the Great Northwest"
Our Feeder Market for Nebraska Ranch Cattle Will be
Exceptionally Strong this Year
There will be a greater demand for Feeder Cattle and Sheep at the SIOUX CIT7 Market than ever before because many eastern buyers will refuse to buy
their Stock at the Markets where there have been outbreaks of Foot and Mouth disease, and will instead go to the Missouri River markets for their Supplies.
This demand with the demand from Feeders in territory tributary to SIOUX CITY will afford a splendid outlet for all feeders that come here. Packers will
want more Fat Stock than ever because of the increased capacity of their plants. It will pay you to ship to SIOUX CITY, a market that has been kept clean
