Don't think of purchasing dry good

Don't forget that Mrs. Adams has the

half of the beauty is the small price

Don't scold your husband because the

Don't run to mother with all his faults;
rather keep his goo qualities to light

Don't give your husband poor quality
of meats when the best can be had at the

Horace Riddles story, which you know
to be worth nothing.

was taken from the coffin and your sis

To say that Anna Warren heard this
statement with calmness would be to
pass the bounds of reason. Her heart
seemed to stop. Even a woman may
doubt. though ordinarily she is spared
that misery by the absence of logic.
This disclosure removed Edward
Ames from the field of conjecture. The
man whom she had believed to be
guilty had proven an alibi measurable
only by the distance between this world
and the next. Having been mistaken
in what she held to be practically GER
tain, her faith IN all unIngs was
shaken-which is the way with women
of such exceptional moments. But
faith reasserted itself As yet she had
had no proof. The mere finding OF the
body could not convict her lover.
Yet she shuddercd at the question
which she must ask next, and her lips
moved almost without sound.
"Wherc was it?"
''In the old Maxwell house on High
street." he replied. 1T is there now"
Her face was like a mask of white
marble. She put her hand on his arm.
Come" she said; Il must see it with
my own eyes"
CHAPTER V.
THE MYSTERY OF NED AMEs' BODY.
The Maxwell home on High street was
hundred and forty years old. Little of
the original structure remained ex-
cept the great oak framework, which
might stand some generations longer.
1t was untenanted. The young physi-
cian-the last of his race-had aban-
doned it about year before. He had
built modern. house and furnished it
luxuriously in anticipation Of his mar
riage with Anna.
DR.. Maxwell was man of consider
obla means for that part of the conn
try. He was not in the least dependent
upon his practice. otherwise he would
have gone to a mere favorable location
for money making. But situated as he
was. he much preferred to remain in
Williston. He loved the town for its
great beauty, and for the quiet which
favored his studies.
