TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized bY Geo. p.
ROwell q Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.


The we'll known advertising agency Of
( Geo. P. Rowell & Co. of New York City, have
. issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
us TO the mattter of newspaper circulation.
|In the regular issues Of the Directory they
/ have included all the newspapers published
In the United States and Canada. Quite
Recently, however, they have issued a con-
denssd list. 1t gives only the best newspa-
.pers I'd advertising mediums, and hence is
better, because more convenient,
fhan their larger Directory. Four-ffths Of
the newspapers of the United States are
practically Counted out" by intelligent ad.
Tertisers, who only want to know the best.
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface we'll say:
1T Sits the wheat from the chaff. It di.
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
Ind tends to intercept portion of that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly In excess of any power to bene-
it which they possess. 1t takes the general
Rround, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
the FREE PRESS Is given by this book (see
page 1857 as tile advertising medium of San
Marcos and Hays county, it being the only
Dne on the list. We respectfully invite the
pttention of advertisers, both at home and
abroad, to this fact.

just driven your wifo and her sweetheart
down to take the northbound train"
Instead Of following him tho Colonel
turned to me, deadly pale, with terrible
fear in his eyes. 'John, something whis-
pers to me that the scoundrel is telling the
truth. Step up to the houso and see about
t."
As I approached the splendid man,ion
and entered the spacious grounds, beauti
fed and adorned by every means that mon-
sy and tasto could suggest, wondered at
the msd infatuation that could induce O
woman to leave such q home and such a
husband for so miserable fate.
Miss Jean was seated on rustic bench
by fountain, watching the Colonsl's daugh-
ter, little Lillian, who was fitting about in
her white dress and blue ribbons. shouting
gleefully as she tossed the rose leaves in
bright showers in 'the air, or FLASHED her
little dimpled hands into the sparkling
water.
When Miss Jean saw me, she rose and
hurried TO me. "What IL Il John2" she
asked anxiously.
don't know how ever told hor. She
listened, the color dying from her face as
she whispered: "Oh, II cannot, Il cannot
be-"
There was no response to the rap upon
the door of Mrs. Corrie's chamber, and af-
ter moment opened 1t and entered.
Everything was.in the greatest confusion,
and on the dressing case, o note addressed
to her husband, telling the shameful story,
"Don't leave my brother, john" said
Miss Jean, wringiug her little white hands
together. II feel that something terrible
will happen II you do"
The Colonel read the confirmation of his
fears in my face even before he glanced at
the note and dropping into seat, buried
his face in his hands. After o moment he
rose, ghastly pale with dark circles around
his eyes. He prssed his hand across his
brow, habit of his whom troubled or per-
picked, saying so calmly I was almost
startled:
when does the next train leave for the
north?"
consulted timetable and replied:
I'm fifteen minutes"
''Very well; have cab waiting for me at
the cornor of Fourth and Walnut streets as
soon as you can"
Iopencd my lips to speak. but he raised
his hnnd with a gesture that no one ever
dared to disobay.
''Do os bid you, John"
As glanced back from the door, saw
him unlock n drawer, taking from It q
cleaning revolver that he placed in his hip
pocket, and shuddered to think of the
srrible mission 1t was intended to perform.

which were going on. he dined at 3

careful that they should not be over
tasked, was equally careful that they
should not loiter their time away in
