sharpness and apparent knowledge OF tue
business. About the same time, a man with
carpet bags took rooms for himself and LADY
at a house in town, and began peddlng laes
wherever Il customer could be found The
regular dealers soon found that it was psr
to direct the trade from themselves to tti
new corners. A warrant was issued for ped
ding without license, and the man ARRESTED
on the wharf, just as the two were taking The
boat for Seareport. The woman PROCEEDED
and the man remained to be fined seven dor
lars and costs, which he paid. Before The
unlucky lace dealer could get away from
town, he was confronted by new and mud

children arrived from Canada, who claimed
him as her runaway husband The fellO'

to Searsport with his wife, leading by eithd
