a sharp loofcopt both above nud below
he saw no game other than a few
small birds and a parr of blue wood
pigeons. When he sought to creep up
on the latter, llu > flew into the next
tree. In following them, he came
upon a conical mound of hard clay,
nearly four feet high.
' Hello; this must he one of these
white ant hills." lit said, and tie gnw
the mound a kick.
Instantly a tiny object whirred up
and sit nek him in the face.
"Wheel" he exclaimed, springing
back and striking out. "A hornet; No;
it's a bee!"
"Did il sting jou?" cried Miss I,is
lie.
“Sting? Keep back; there's a lot
more of ’*«. Sting? Oh, no; he only
hypodermicked me with a red-hot
darning needle! Shy around here.
There's a whole swarm of the little
devils, and they’re hopping mad. Hear
'em buzz!”
"Hut where* is their hive?" asked
Winthrope, as ail three drew hack be
hind tin nearest hushes.
“Guess they’ve borrowed that ant
hill." replied lilake. gingerly lingering
the white lump which marked the spot
where the bee tiad struck him.
"Wouldn't it be delightful if we had
some honey?" exclaimed Miss Leslie.
"By .Jove, that really wouldn't be
half bad!" chimed in Winthrope.
"Maybe we can. Miss .lenity; only
we ll need a lire to tackle those buz
zers. Guess it'll be as well to let them
eool off it bit also. The cocoanuts are
only a little way ahead now Here;
give me the pot."
They soon came to a small grove of
coeoanut palms, where Blake threw
down his club and bow and handed
his burning-glass to Miss Leslie.
"Here,” he said; you and Win start
a lire. It's early yet, but I’m think
ing well all be ready enough for
oyster slew."
"How about the meat?" asked Miss
Leslie.
"Keep that till later Here goes for
onr dessert."
Selecting one of the smaller palms.
Blake spar on his hands, and began
to climb the slender trunk. Aided by
previous experiences, he mounted
steadily to the top. The descent was
made with even more care and steadi
ness, for he did not wish to tear the
skin from his hands again.
"Now. Win." he said, as tie neared
tlie bottom and sprang down, "leave
the cooking to Miss Leslie, and husk
some of those nuts You won’t more'n
have time to do it before the stew
is ready.”
Winthrope's response was to draw
out his penknife. Blake stretched
himself at ease in the shad--*, but kept
a critical eye on his companions. Al
though Winthrope's lingers trembled
with weakness, lie worked with a pre
cision and rapiditj that drew a grunt
of approval from lilake. Presently
Miss Leslie, who had been stirring the
slew with a twig, threw In a little
salt, and drew the pot from the fire
"Kn avant, gentlemen! Dinner is
served,” she called gayiy.
"What’s that?" demanded lilake
“Oh: sure. Hold on Miss Jenny
You'll dump it all."
lie wrapped a wisp of grass about
ilie pot, and tilled tl.< Quee coeoanut
bowls. The stew was boiling hot;
but they fished up the oysters with
the bamboo forks that Blake had
carved some days since By the time
the oysters were eaten, the liquor in
the bowl was cool enough to drink
The process was repeated until the
pot had been emptied of its contents
“Say, hut that was something like."
murmured Blakt If only we’d had
pretzels and beer to go with it! But
these nuts won't he bad."
When they finished the cocoanuts
Winthrope asked for a drink of wa
ter.
“Would il not lie best to keep it un
til later?” replied .Miss Leslie.
“Sure,” put in Blake. “We’ve had
enough liquid refreshments to do any
one. If I don’t look out, you’ll both be
drinking river water. Just bear in
mind the work I’d have to carve a
pair of gravestones. No; that flask
has got to do you till we get home. I
don’t shin up any more telegraph
poles to-day.”
“Would it not be l est for Mr. Win
thrope to rest during the noon hours.'’’
1'raid not Miss Jenny. We're not
on t'other sid of Jordan yet, and
there's’ no rest for the weary this
side." ,
“What odd expressions you use, Mr.
make!”
“Just giving you the reverse applica
tion of one of those songs they jolly
us with ill the mission churches—”
“I’m sure, Mr. Blake--”
“Me, too, Miss Jenny! So, as that's
settled, we’ll be moving. Chuck some
live coals in the pot, and come on.”
lie started off, weapons in hand.
Winthrope made a languid effort to
take possession of the pot. Hut Miss

making r!ie third week in succes
sic: .? light receipts here, and at
all * ■ markets, yet there was no
vis • improvement in the tone of
th- b*-ef cattle market. Buyers
ha.e persisted in fighting the mar
ket c the face ol moderate sup
pi:-- and the advance secured
early last week was slowly dissi
pat- and the week Hosed a shade
low- ,n steers, about steady on
but er stuff. Stockers and feed
er- vo e draggy all week, owing to
tlm be:; weather and slack outside
demand account thereof. The
s ipp!;. i (lay is b5i*<> head, held
down by another general storm
till ughout the west, and the fa
mine mditiims ai>- forcing recog
niti m t : a certain extent, although
buy - assume indifference, and
the a l ance today is no more than
h1 ! 15 cents in any.case. Price
ste- - are absent today, some fairly
good -beers at $0.25 tliis morning,
bnbr ; fed steers quotable at $5,25
to P .15, tops around $0.00, top
cows bring $5.25, and best heifers
$5.7". bulls $15 to $1.80, calves
j$:5.5 to $0.50, stockers mainly at
I $4 to $5, feeders $1.50 to $7.25.
Shipments to the country Iasi
week aggregated .‘i40 car loads,
about the same as during previous
week, but there was less call for
expensive flesby feeders than here
tofore.
The hog market is holding up
well, although packers occasion
ally get in a good day, such an last
Saturday, when a two day's sup
ply on sale at Chicago furnished
the excuse to hammer the market.
Run here was 7$,000 head last
week and the net loss was 1 1 cents
per wt.. just about representing
the loss of Saturday. Supply is
7000 head here today, market 10
higher, top $6.50, medium weight
hogs at $0.15 to $0. !•>, lights $o.80
to $6.25, pigs $1.50 to -5.o0. It
is currently reported that a spirit
of econo1 y is abroad in the land,
but in .-.aeh times pork gets more
support that it loses as pork can
be on a high level, and still be
cheaper than other meats, because
it gotjs farther. Astute dealers
figure, therefore, that the tendency
of hog prices will be upward.
Although the sheep and lamb

than a week ago. Run last week

8000 head hambs are weaker to
day, and have been the weakest
spot in the market for ten days,
being in heavier supply propor
tionately than yearlings or sheep,
Lambs sold today at $7 to $7 .15,
light yearlings up to $7.10, heavy
yearlings $6.10. wethers worth $5
