Attractive Offerings of Coed Linen

A little reduction is big bargain on
Linen just now, particularly when that re-
duction is made on Tomeltys regular low
prices. These linens are from our best
Irish manufacturers. Splendid fax, bleached

CHAPTER VI.

SET THIEF TO CATCH \ THIEF.
Mr. Mitchell quickly decided that it
would be absurd to attempt to deny
his identity. This was no ordinary
man, and he had called him by his
proper name with confidence born
OF certainty. lie thought it best even
to conceal his surprise, ana therefore,
rs though cOnvcrSng with an old ac.
quaintnnce, he answered quietly:
Il cannot recall ever having enjoyed
lecture so much. You have won.
d"rful grasp Of your subject and mark
ed ability in presenting it intclligibly
Indeed | am in your debt"
Mr.. Mitchell was man of great self
control and had that mastery of man.
ncr which made it possible for him
entirely to subdue his emotions and
to conceal his thoughts when he so
desired. 1t was therefore Preacher
Jim who was now aStoniShcd, ana he
did not hide his feelings so well. He
had prepared his little coup with much
nnticipatOry satisfaction. lie had
hoped to see Mr. Mitchell start in alarm
on learning that his identity was
known-alaim that it should be known
among such company and in such n
place. lie was therefore piqucd at the
nOnchalant reply and for n moment
lost his own customary self possession.
'You do not seem surprised ut my
knowing your he exclaimed irritably
and I'm almost n threatening tone.

Mr. Mitchell, and lie quickly asked:

and said:

Mv. Mitchell took the prorrrrc,l hand
and shook it cordially rs he replied:
