Washington County Man
Gets Top Price for Cattle
Washington county was represent
ed on the livestock market by C. B.
Bunn of Blair, who brought in 38
head, of well-finished 1,451-pound
beeves that brought the top price of
$7.80 for that class of cattle.
Mr. Bunn said he bought the cat
tle in Omaha last October and fed
them on rations of corn and alfalfa.
The price he received, he figures,
netted him $1 a bushel for his corn.
He said he was more than satisfied
with his feeding operations as he
had received good prices for his
hogs and he intended to stick to the
livestock feeding business.
Cattle Feeding Scarce
Around Grand Island
Theodore Aye of Grand Island, a
visitor at the stockyards yesterday
looking over the market, said there
were less cattle on feed around Grand
Island than there had been for sev
eral years.
"There is a big acreage of winter
wheat under cultivation in my sec
tion," said Mr. Aye, "but the crop
outlook is uncertain as the stand
does not look the best. A big hard
ship has been worked upon the farm
ers by low grain prices and the low
price of cattle last season caused
many farmers to fail to put any cat
tle in the feed lots, consequently cat
tle are scarce now."

He turned and went !oy from
the room, a he rcahted what he hat)

o heavy that he hardly knew which
way lo turn.

paced the floor in a fury. Mie wa
enrnced with Peter for hi devotion
jto Ninette; .tie had Ion upected

(tartlcd her. And it had been unlike
him to make it, great a the provoca
tion had been.
"Well. I han't eive him tin. even
; if they are in love with each other!"
he declared angrily, 'lit far too
good a thing to oc And he' too
honorable to ask me to relea.e him,
of course, lksiile. he really need a
wife like me: Ninette would never
do credit to a man of hu position.
F.ven wit It hcrtrlf the did not dare
I to be truthful, and acknowledge the
fear that had haunted her waking

I gained consciousness alter her acci

I not eonouer the foreboding which
. the doctor's evasive word only
served to Mrengthen.
How will I look when the

I aked him, time after time.
I -That' hard to tell till the time
comes," lie would answer, or "There

She had tried pitifully hard to

it might be. Once or twice, when
the lonsr night hour dragged in
terminably, she had even started
across the room to the mirror, but
u. i,n,l slurnv turned back before
she reached it. too fearful to yield to
the impulse that had driven her.
And always there had been in her
mind the comiorting assuvnn-c.
well, if mv beauty is really gone I
etill have Fetcr he wouldn t go
hack on me, he's too much of a gen
tleman." . , . . .
Tonight, however, the impulse to
learn the truth for herself was
stronger than ever before. She tnea
to fight it off by curling up once
more on the couch by the fire and
opening a book, but reading proved
to be impossible, and the mirror
hanging on the opposite wall fasci
nated her. .
T $,a tlnrterl UO from tlie
couch, and then forced herself to lie
town again. , .
"I won't do it I won t, she told
Vrself determinedly.
And yet why not lust lift the
-dge of one of the bandages the least
hit' Surely there could be no harm
n that. And if the skin was clear
if there wasn't any scar that would
be' so reassuring! ... 1
And so. reasoning with herseit.
arguing the wisdom of her own lol
ly? she stole over to the mirror.
-j .u r.nll )ii that stood in
Stilt-3 ouu ----v ---
bandage ever so
sconces at its
edee of one
Her joyous exclamation was
whole-hearted. For the bit of skin
thus revealed was unscarred.
"Oh, it did heal I have not lost
my beauty!" she cried exultantly,
and tore the bandage from her face.
One glance at the mirror, and she
sank back, cowering against the
great chair that stood behind her.
A livid scar zig-zagged across one
cheek The flesh was puckered .into
a white welt that drew up the cor
ner of her mouth into a ghastly
grin. The effect was inexpressibly
horrible and revolting.
Dorothy grew faint with horror.
Never had she dreamed that she
could be so terribly disfigured. She
bad been so proud of her beauty,
had idolized it so and counted so
confidently on it to bring her all that
she asked of life, that now, confront
ed by. this fiendish work of fate, it
seemed for a moment that her rea
son had deserted her as well as her
beauty.
She sank down into the chair and
burst into tears, no less violent be
cause of their hopelessness.
"It cannot be this thing could not
happen to me!" she sobbed bitterly.
Yet only a glance at the mirror suf
ficed to show that her protestations
were in vain. Never again would any
one look at her without a shiver of
horror.
She slipped from the chair to the
floor, and lay there for some time, a
pitiful, huddled little figure, her gor
geous red hair taking on coppery
glints iu the flickering light of the
candles. She lay very still, but her
thoughts raced like wind-driven
waves, surging from one point to
another. And at last, pressing her
delicate hands to her scarred cheeks,
she sat up resolutely.
"That will be the better way," she
said aloud. "People would try not
to look at me, yet they couldn't help
it. I would have to wear a mask, or
face their curiosity and aversion all
the rest of my life. But if I end it
all now that will be so much
easier." '
She slipped on a long cloak over
her trailing silken negligee, and
wound a misty-hued scarf about the
glory of her hair. Then, quietly as a
shadow, she opened the door into
the hall and closed it again, softly,
behind her.
And all that was left to tell the
tale of her departure was the little
pieces of bandages that lay on the
floor before the mirror.
CHAPTER XLVII.
The River Holds Out Its Arms.
Dorothy stole down the stairs,
clinging to the bannister, and shrink
ing back into the shadow whenever
an unexpected sound seemed to in
dicate the approach of one of the
members of the household. But
nobody passed through the hall be
low, and so at last she reached it
As she passed thj mirror that
hung near the front door she caught
a glimpse of her face, and, flinch
ing, closed her eyes to shut out the
dreadful reflection. How recently
she had paused for a moment in
front of that very mirror to admire
her arrogant young beauty? j
Noiselessly shi closed the front
door behind her, and, as Ninette had
done, paused a moment to think
which way she should turn. But for
hrr there was no question what des
tination she should seek; the had
stopped only to plan how the thould
reach it.
The co!J rain wa still falling, an)
the wind blew it ttraight into the
Kirl't (are. Her cloak wa toon
dripping wet, and the Ihm lk ef her
nrgliitee clung in wet (olds lo her
t'rmlrr body,

picture what life minht be to her.
But al way the thought of her hor

remembcrance.
She wondered what Tctcr would

happened. He would be lorry, she
hoped, though she knew that he did
not love her. Well, he would be

ter would be glad. too. and so woul 1
Mrs, Cranford. They would all pity
her, of course, but not one of them
would really grieve over the trag
edy of her death, Dorothy told her
self. As she stood there, nerving her
self to take the final step, two men
approached. They were laughing
and chatting, and one paused only
a few paces away to light his pipe.
And as the match flared up, Doro
thy slipped past them and hurriedly
down the steps to the river.
The man stepped back suddenly
as she passed; she had gone on
swiftly as a shadow, by the time he
realized her presence. Hastily he
rejoined his companion.
"What's the matter? You look as
if you'd seen a ghost?" demanded
the other, as he turned up his coat
collar against the wind.
"I don't know but what I did."
was the answer. "Though it looked
to me only like some human being
going down the steps to the river.
Listen what was that?"
They listened for a moment, and
the one who had seen Dorothv
stepped to the edge of the walk
and stared down at the turgid
stream below. But the night was
dark, and so were Dorothv's cloak
and scarf; even the light of a bright
moon would have hardly made her
slender little form visible from that
distance.
Oh. come alonsr von hav act

think it was some poor devil seek

'It mieht have been." anewcrprl
his companion, quietly, then shrug
ged his shoulders at his own grue

through the rain.
