ne did not 70 to hunt the next day,

he did not go to hunt the next day,
and when the girl came across the lawn
he went 10 meet her and asked II he
might come in and listen to. the music.
1T has been long time since have
heard a really good voice." he said.
"Do you like my voice" she asked
frankly.
II do. came in the other day when
you were singing Douglas Gordon, 1t
is my favorlte song. VIII you sing 1t
for me nowY ,...'
She sang it and many others, and so
it came about that she promised to
come every morning, while he sent to
the city for his violin, and he hunted
no more mornings or afternoons. Miss
Carruth noted day after day that he
was absent from the chase, and though
she at first wondered, she was not long
in discovering the reason.
One morning the girl did not come,
and Elliott paced uneasily up and down
the hall, drew the bow across 1.-the
strings of his violin, went to the win
dow, and at last wondered at his i'm
patience. Il never knew l cared so
much about muSic,' he said to himself.
Just then the girl came through the
gate. She had pulled few of the pink
cosmos and wore them in her belt, and
as she saw Elliott at the window she
looked up and smiled.
If a thunderbolt had fallen out of
the autumn sky Elliott Raymond
could not have been more astonished
than he was at the throb his heart gave
when he saw her His surprise at
his feelings was so great that he lean
ed against the window to steady him
self for moment.
"Thirty-fve years DID," he said to
himself, "and have never" and then
she came in.
You are waiting" she said.
"Yes, l was waiting"
She looked up in surprise at his tone.
When she saw his face she flushed. He
held out his hands. "Alice." he said,
Il want you always. VIII you come?
l want you to be my wife"
He was surprised that he could not
express himself better. She looked up
at him, her eyes moist and glad.
"Do you?" she asked.
II do. Will you, Alice?'
She held out her hands and met his.
II WILL" she said, softly. You are
very sure"
"Quite sure, Alice"
And so it comes about that Elliott
Raymond will undoubtedly carry out
his promise to himself to spend all next
summer in Flint valley, because Mrs.
Raymond will want to go back to her
old home on the farm after the winter
of gayety in the city.
And Miss Carruths gift to the bride
and groom is water-color sketch of
a slender, dark-haired girl seated at a
piano, with autumn sunlight streaming
in at the window, and the card accom-
panying it has a most informal line:
with the best love of Gertrude Car

Presently they came to the edge Of q

HERE you have seven concerns that are
competing with every merchant in Will
mington. Their establishments are
twenty-seven miles away but they are
delivering hundreds OF dollars worth of
goods in Wilmington every day-msst of
them with their own wagons, all of them
without extra charge to their Whining
ton patrons.
Why is this?
The explanation is at hand-they are
better Advertisers than our friends and
neighbors-the Wilmington merchants.
Let us have specific case and discuss
it in the interest of Profitable Publicity.
Steigerwalt, the famous shoe man of
Philadelphia, sells a particular grade of
shoes for infants and children. He has
spent fortune in advertising them
They have national reputation. Every
mother in the land has heard OF them
and his annual sales of these shoes form
the bulk of his business. Thousands of
men and women in all parts of the
country have never worn anything but
Steigerwalts shoes. Some of these good
people live in Delaware-scoreso OF them.
1t makes person feel cheap to find out
at this late day that local dealer has
sold or rather has had on hand to sell,
this very same make of shoes for ten
years past, and that they have netted
steigerwalt the biggest shoe trade in
Philadelphia and national reputation
as dealer in good shoes.
The local man has advertised his shoes
Steigerwalt has Advertised his shoes. The
difference, and the sale difference lies in
the fact Steigerwalt bought and received
Profitable Publicity. The shoes Nere iden'
tical; the Publicity was different-not the
shoes.

THE Sun regrets very much that copy
of Erery Ereniag, dated October 10, con-
tanning the expose Of the Levy Court
mismanagement was not obtained yes
terdsy. For some singular reason Mr..
Bancroft changed his mind and did not
print the proof of the charges which
he has in his possession but no despair
is entertained, for the publication of the
expose is confidently expected today.
This confidence is based on knowledge
of the mans character. Mr. Bancroft is
not a selfish MAJ. His worst enemies
never accused him of seltishness.
Hence it is certain that he will give out
these proofs Of charges he has made
against the Levy Court. He
may publish them in Erery Erening to-
day. We expect them today. We at
least expect them this week and it is not
at all improbable that Mr.. Bancroft is
awaiting the arrival Of Saturday so that
the great expose which he will print
in Erny Ere0irg on Saturday afternoon
will be good for the Sunday papers to use.
Thus the tax payer may pick up the
Sunday paper and read just how and
when the Levy Court of New Castle
county robbed him. Mr. Samuel Ban.
croft is not a selfish man. He will give
the people the proofs which lie holds
and which the people should know.
