Candor or Kisses ?


This story is going to end in a
mystery.

artist, l thought it all out before
putting pen to paper.
1t was the evening of Arabella's
birthday; Alphonso, her betrothed,
was with her.
They we're very, very happy.
Suddenly bright idea struck AL
phonso.
That is a way bright thoughts

But I am quite willing to be slug

They embrace rapturously.

chortles:
"These don't count, for you haven't
told me your age yet. How old is
my darling?"
"Oh, darlingl"
@How old is my ickle tootsey

Here began great struggle in
Arabella's mind.
She had reached that age when
she wished to be thought several
years younger.
That is likewise the age when an
unwedded maiden most keenly APP
preciates kisses.
She wanted all the kisses she could
get.
Here, gentle reader, is the mystery
foretold exclusively in our first line,
Did she claim all the kisses to
which she was entitled, or not?-

Our readers will remember that
some weeks ago it was reported that
the person Miss Maude Talbot had
married at Peru, Ind, had turned out
to be q bigamist. Friends of the
bride in Napoleon will be glad to
learn that there was no foundation
for the report. The Peru Chronicle
says, in speaking of the matter
Llewelln Capwell, the young rail
way fireman, who married young
lady of this city some weeks since,
and was falsely and mallciously ac-
cused of being a bigamist by parties
of this city and arrested and held at
Montpelier by an officer on informa-
tion sent from here, is in the city and
called on the Chronicle. He is the
guest of his brother-in-law, George
| DoXsee, an engineer on the Detroit
division, residing on East Main street.
Mrs. Capwell came here on a visit
some days ago and left this morning
to spend few days with her parents
at Napoleon, o., where her husband
will join her in day or two. They
will either reside at Montpelier or in
this city.
Mr.. Capwell is fortified with proof
to establish his innocence of the
charge of bigimy, and also of misrep
resentation, and will take such steps
as will make his caluminators fee
that his character cannot be assailet
with impunity.
He lost his situation by the arres
and detention and the time he ha
!. been required to consume in clearins
himself of the charges.

you never see his name out of the

They know him from seeing his name

they have heard of him. Some bust

find out what they are doing, but
Meyer is not that kind; he wants
them to know all about his business,
for he knows from experience that it
pays. His enormous sales tell the
whole story. Don't fail to see Meyer,
