There seems to be nothing startling, at least
nothing alarming, in the strange hand which
comes from the other side. 1t comes from the
darkness it is true but perhaps the lady can
account for it, after the surprise is past. The
door is closed and there does not appear to be
sufficient shield for hiding. Whence then
comes the hand? Perhaps the reader can ex-
plain it.
Similar surprises inbusiness are shown every
day. A citizen of Middletown made a. Holi-
day purchase In the city, carried it for hours
at great Inconvenience, returned home to find
the indentical article at the same price on the
tables of local dealer. That was an annoy
ing surprise.
One of the real and constant surprises to the
people of Middletown is the very low prices
ma intained by Mrs. Thos. Massey on all lines
Of jewerley, watches, clocks, silverware, cut
glass, &c. 1t should not be; it is simple enough;
it's In the buying-and the selection. There's
much in selecting. If you have a present to
make, or purchase for self in Mrs. Massey 8
line, a comparison of prices and quality of
goods with any other is invited, especially
city prices. Repairing speciality.
