CATTLE Todny'B trade In cattle could
best bo described as a good , strong and
active market. In other words , the fat
cattle sold generally lOc higher than at the
close of last week and the demand was
active at the prices. Buyers were oil out
early nnd were ready to look at the cattle
as soon as sellers were ready to show
them. They got down to business at once
nnd It was not long until practically every
thing In the yards had changed hands. As
IL whole the market was most satisfactory
to the sellers.
Cows and heifers were In good demand
and buyers wanted all there were here , so
that the market was active at good , llrm
prices. Bulls , If fat and good , were also
active sellers at strong prices. Veal calves
nvero wanted and good ones brought $7.00.
Stockers nd feeders were In very light
supply. In fact there were hardly enough to
talk about. The market on that kind of
cattle was without change or feature of
imoortance.
It might be added to the above ) that the
cattle market at the present time IB in as
good-condition - as any seller could ask. The
receipts , though heavy , are none too large
to meet the large demands of the packers ,
who appear to want all the cattle that they
can get. Hcprosentatlve sales :

SHEEP Receipts today consisted princi
pally of grass Arizona sheep bought on the
Kansas City roarket and shipped direct to
local packers without being offered on the
market at this point. There were , however ,
two cars of wooled Colorado lambs which
sold at $6.60 , which Is very close to Chicago.
There were also a few ewes and spring
lambs , but not enough to make much of a
test of the market. The demand at this
point continues to be very good and the
market here is high as compared with other
markets. The decllns , hawovor. in eastern
markets has weakened the market here
somwhat and the feeling today was rather
weak.

MISS JENME'S MEMORIAL CHECK.
Given in Memory of a Poem and Eventually H Built a Hospital.
By 1 > . Y. BLACK.
Jennie was In a smilingly tremulous
state of excitement. U lay there In all Its
beauty , a check a real one , nnd drawn tc
her order to Miss Jennie's order. She had
scrutinized it very closely a dozen times Iti
the last week , and now , at last , had made
up her mind to part with It.
"I want to go right In to papa's bank
M\A do It all my own self. " So now she
was ready to go , but first she took up frorr
Iho book tnblo In her own room something
bvon more precious than the check. H was
i magazine , not perhaps n very high-class
magazine , but still a monthly periodical ,
with "magazine" printed on its cover hi
very largo letters , and It contained within
Us pases the origin of the check a poem ,
ind the poem was signed Just "Jenny. "
Pretty verses they were , and very good foi
i girl of 15.
Jennie took the magazine along with hot
that she might on the cars profitably cm-
ploy her time by making mcntnt Improve
ments , with n view to future poems ami
tamo.
In her father's room at the bank , after the
check hnd been cashed , she sat on his knee
nd almost cried with delight.
"You ought to buy a little keepsake with
It , my dear , " said he.
"Well , I'll think of It , " snld Jennie ,
kissing him eoodbye , "but. you know , this
Is only the first. Soon I'll earn my own
pocket money. "
When she was on the cars again to go
homo , she thought seriously about the keep
sake. She was , ns wo remarked , of a ton-
Inr heart , and had designed to buy a lit
tle present for the best ono of her school
Friends who had shod tears real , actual
tears at the pathos of the poem a little
present of appreciation.
"Then you must got off right hero , " said
: ho conductor suddenly , Interrupting Jennie's
rovcrlea. Ho said It very crossly , and
Fonnlo looked up. An old woman was sitting
apposite her with a baby on her lap , and a
big bundle , and she was Just beginning
frantically to open the bundle to see If the
'arc she had lost had not been , maglclan-
ivlso , whisked out of her pocket into the
racel of clothes.
"I don't think you'll flnd it there ,
na'am , " said Jennie gently.
"But It must be somewhere , " cried the
shaking old woman. " 'Twos a quarter , nnd
ivas 'to ' take me to iny son , this baby's
Jathor. "
"Oh : come off and got off ! " cried the con-
Juctor angrily. "That's an old story. "
Tlio old woman looked so terribly agitated
: hU Jennie came to the rescue.
"If you will let me , " she said , "I wilt pay
Ihe fare , " and she did and slipped another
luarter over to the woman.
In her earnest purpose .to earn money for
herself , Jennie had only accepted car faro
from her mother in the morning. The old
ivoman thanked her young benefactress
plentifully .till . Jennie got off the car. The
poetess her best friend , had tumultuously
; reotcd her as the poetess went her way
through familiar streets. It was a nice
neighborhood , but like almost air nlco
neighborhoods , there was the shadow of a
Jarkened life hovering near it. It was
ivlntor , and Jennie had gone ito the bank in
: ho afternoon , so that It was already getting
Jark when she approached her home. Still
she had ono thing she wished very much to
3o , and yet was rather afraid to do. She
ivalked along hesitatingly , doubtful in fact ,
if she were not going to make a fool of her
self.
self.Tho
The fact was , Jennie's poem had been sug
gested to her by the sight of a delicate
ooklng newsboy In this part of the town
'ailing down from.ipheor weariness and
mnger and 111-henlth , while In the very
let of offering an evening newspaper to
Miss Jennie herself. Now Jennie's sensl-
: lvo mind , for esho looked at things always
with deeply solemn young eyes , had sud-
lenly beeii overwhelmed with the question :
Who was entitled really and honestly to
; hls ? 3 ? She pondered over the matter. She
iad told the story and got money , but the
icwsboy had unconsciously told the story
.o her , and he had got nothing. It didn't
ioom at all fair , and Jenny's conscientious
ioul was oven agitated by the idea that
: ho money oho gave the woman with the
Bundle had not really been hers to give.
Keepsakes ? Certainly not now.
Suddenly she sighted a familiar ragged
acket and a familiar , dreadfully dirty look-
ng cap. It was the boy. It was nearly
lusk , but she still could notice he looked
'eoblo and somehow smaller than before.
He was shrinking in a corner and holding
> ut papers with remarkable timidity for a
street arab. In fact , ho held himself so out
if the crowd that Miss Jennie hnd courage
; o go up and speak to him nlone.
"Please , boy , " said she , blushing very
nuch , "I want to thank you for something
roll did for mo. "
The boy squirmed and shrivelled In the
: orner. Jonnlo felt relieved. She was half
ifrald he would be n very vulgar boy and
; reet her with a too cordial familiarity.
But :
"Yes , m'm , least no , m'm ; twasn't me
I guess It was another boy , m'm , " said th
boy.
boy."Oh
"Oh , no ! " cried Jennie. "I am sure
know the coat and the queer I beg you
pardon I mean quaint cap. But , if you'i
let mo see your face moro clearly , if I'vi
made a mistake. I saw your face whci
you fell the other day , you know. "
The newsboy gave a startled glimpse up
and so Jerked the queer , dirty cap that i
tumble of short , curly hair fell from Iti
lies , 'beneath ' the head covering , Jennli
gasped. The boy the boy wore certain ! ;
the nether garments of a boy , but ho broki
Into a torrent of tears , huddling down Ir
his corner , which assured the amazed Mis ;
Jennlo that ho wasn't a boy at all , bu
a girl. Only a girl could weep in tha
way. Down went Jennie's magazine , peen
forgotten ; down went Jennie's pocketbook
the check forgotten ; down went good llttli
Jonnlo herself in the corner , her tears ai
once flowing In sympathy.
"You poor little thing , " cried Jonnlo
"what are you doing here , dressed like
that ? "
"DI-Dl-Dlck'a 111 , nnd can't walk , an'-an'-
dad made me come ! "
"But your dress ! "
"Girls ain't 'lowed to sell papers , so dac1
told mo to wear Dl-Dl-Dlck's clo's. "
"Is Dick very ill ? "
"He's dying ! " came out with a wall ,
Jennlo trembled , gathering her purse anc
magazine together , Stic bad made mono )
toy selling the misery of a dying child s
child who had no money. Jennie trembled
and then sbo picked up the little girl , and
took her hand and said :
"Let us go and see and comfort Dick. "
211.
What would papa have said , shortly ex
pected homo for dinner ? What would the
horrlflod dearest friends have said , chatting
merrily In cosy parlors nnd eating candy 'i
What , indeed , would everybody have said
If they had seen the daughter of the bank
secretary walking In the dusty , dirty bach
streets , comforting a very little boy who
was only a pretonbe of a boy , anyway. Ah !
well ! 'Miss Jennie's conscience was he :
own , and she had made up her mind now
about who owned that check , whose misery
and sickness gave the little' poem birth.
She walked on with her head In the air ,
and an athletic , touch-me-not grace which ,
perhaps , basket ball had assisted nature to
give. She was a remarkably straight , erect
and determined young woman when she
was set upon a thing , and even her big
brother In the bank was aware of the EO-
lldlty of her biceps.
They came to a tenement building and
nroso up narrow stnlrs. The little now
paper girl pantlngly followed Miss Jennlo
footsteps. In a passage they halted.
"Where nro your rooms , dear ? Where ai
Dick's ? " nskcd Miss Jennie.
"We've onTy ono , " said the child , nnd the
entered It , nnd In nn Instnnt Miss Jenn
was on her knees by n mattress on the floe
whore the boy lay , with gaunt face and lea
limbs , nnd n piteous crying In his eyes ft
rt-llof for death.
Jcnr.le did not notice a starvcd-lookln
woman nt a washtub , who cried out I
amazement at her entrance. She did not sc
the horrible squalor. She say but the bo ;
nnd ho Iceked up and wondered that anyot
should weep for him. It hnd never occurrc
before , save when the occasional tears of h
mother fell , she who longed as much ns Y
to have relief to have it nil over nnd dor ,
with.
"Dick , poor Dkk ! " cried Miss Jennie , '

you weak mid stagger nnd fall nnd I mail
money by telflng people about It instead e

Take It take It all , dear Dick , nnd I'll ' as

The door swung open nnd a mnn stumble

The words cnmo from Jonnlc very low

and made nearer to the silver dollars.

She put out a brave , strong arm , pushln

blow thanks to basket ball and in he
righteous wrath she seized a little stool nen
by nnd struck down on him so that ho foil

Care was taken of the little girl ; care wa

That happened seven years ago. In Jennie *

Centuries ago , says the Denver Repub
llcan , a strange race Inhabited the grca
canyons of the southwestern corner of thl <
state and the adjacent corners of Now Mex
1:0 and Arizona. A stronger race lived some'
where in the more , level lands to the nortl
and west. The people of 'tho ' canyons , li
tear of Invasion , built their houses high 01

would not think of looking for them , , an <
In side canyons where penetration was 'ini' '
possible except to those who knew the trails
The stronger race of the outlnnd has dls
uppcared and left no trace. The Indlai
tribes which now inhabit the region have n (
legends of their predecessors , and there arne <
no ruins. The Cliff Dwellers have also gen <
beyond buman ken , but the precautions the ;
look to save their lives nnd property havt
preserved their memory among men. Theli
stone dwellings continue almost as they lefi

; nt decade have been at work.

A few of the dwellings have been located

.hat It Is absolutely necessary that protec-

, vhllo they have stood intact for perhaps
iges , arc easily tumbled over. Behind there
ire many rocky recesses where pottery ,
itores of corn , clothing and the bones and
nummles of people nro to bo found. Relic
mnters , poking about for something to

for the
Winning.
This is the strik
ing motif of a
Brilliant New
Serial story
Entitled
"A
Modern
Merce-
by E. & H. Heron ,
authors of "Tuinmcr's Duel , "
Etc. , Etc.
Which will begin publication
in this
Omaha Sunday
Bee June 18th
,
STORY that gallops
from the first line to
the last , that tells a chivalric -
alric and intensely dramat
ic love story , that follows
the intricate plottings of
master diplomats.
"The plot is fresh ,
the intrigue ingeni
ous , the portraiture
vivid and the treat
ment unhackneyed. .
. . Altogether this is a
fierce and vivid ro
mance. " London Spec
tator.
Curiously enough the collaborators
.
orators .bear the unusual re
lation of mother and son. E.
& H. Heron Is the nom deplume
plume for K. & Heaketh Prlch-
ard. They have already pub
lished several powerful short
stories and serials , but "A
Modern Mercenary" Is their
best and latest novel , a story
which Is attracting widespread
Interest In England.
The players of this Game
with a King , the prize of
which is the winning of a
kingdom , are Count Sagan ,
a gruff , unscrupulous , reck
less giant , the commander
of the guards of Maasati.
He plays as a tool in the
hands of Solpdorf , Chan
cellor to the King , tho"man
of the hour. " And behind
these two , old Major Coun
seller , representing Eng
land , the shrewdest diplo
mat of Europe , and Baron
von Elmer of Germany ,
play the intricate keys of
diplomacy. The King of
Maasau , who is weak , worn
out and suspicious , is a
mere puppet in the hands
of these master players.
The pawns of the game are
John Rallywood , the Mod
ern Mercenary , a straight
back , fearless young Eng
lishman who fights a duel
as cheerfully as he makes
love to a nobleman's daugh
ter ; Valeria , the heroine ,
and the Countess Sagan ,
who loves the hero and ap
pears as Valeria's bitter
rival. All thin takes place
in the independent slate of
Maasau , which is so small
that it is hardly noticeable
even on the largest sized
map of Europe.
