MSstery of the Popular Novel.
I'VE are apt to think. says the New
York Evening Post, that the selling OF
poor novels by the hundred thousand
Is modern phenomenon In the book
trade. but, in fact. 1t Is not entirely
new. In one OF the group OF Haw-
thorne's letters he says; What is the
mystery OF these innumerable editions
OF The Lamplighter" and other books
neither better nor worse Worse they
could not be. and better they need not
be when they sell by the hundred
thousand The question Is a little pa.
thetic when we remember that Haw-
Ihorne a little before this time had
spoken OF himself as the least read au-
thor Ia America Ii shows, too, that
the mystery OF the popular novel was
as great then as Il Is today. One could
understand why u thrilling tale Of
cheaply coueocted adventure might
captivate the multitude. but the curl
Gus point IS that some OF the high sell
ers are simply duh and respectable

SET TRAP.
Brockton Man Alleged to Have
Deceived Wife.
Believing Him Dead, She Then Mar
ried a Maine Man.
First Husband Appears and She Leaves
Second Love.
SET TRAP.

Brockton, May 29.-Mrs. Carrie E.
Groves. who has been twice accused
in police court by Harvey D. Groves
of marrying another man while he was
living. now admits that she was mar
ried on June 10. 1903. to Urias M. Beck
Ter OF Sumner, Me-, and lived with him
as his wife. She accuses Groves Of at
tempting to trap her. to get her in his
power, and that he sent the papers
which gave notice Of his death. Groves
is now confined at the Jail in Plymouth.
where he is awaiting the decision Of
the grand jury for alleged assaults on
his wife.
Back Of the story Of the wife. accord
ing to her statement, is a story OF
cruelty to her during their early mar
ried life equal to that with which the
husband now stands charged. The &C
cusations made by Groves OF another
marriage led to an investigation by
local authorities. Becker wrote that
Mrs. Groves, believing her husband to
he dead. married him on June 10. 1903.
after leaving her husband in the
spring. When she found her husband
was living she Immediately left him.
Later she consented to live with
Groves.
Mrs. Groves tells an interesting story
OF the affair. II had every reason to
believe that Groves was dead" she
said in an interview. II had a death
certificate from a physician and also
from an undertaken and newspaper
clipping containing a notice Of his
death was sent me- The cause Of death
was given as diphtheritic tonsilitis. l
have since received proof that Groves
had the certificates forged and the
death notice printed in the paper. My
husband sent them to me. He told me
that he did and that his object was to
set a trap for me. I obtained legal adj
vice before my marriage to Mr.. Beck
Ter and he was acquainted with all the
circumstances. I had been with Mr..
Becker but a few weeks when l learn
ed that Mr.. Groves was alive. and
as soon as I heard this left Becker
and have not seen him since I came
from Maine to Boston, where Groves
found me at the home of a relative.
He pleaded with me and finally con-
sented."
The marriage certificate in posses
sion Of City Marshal Boyden shows
that Becker married Clarice Bentley,
but Mrs. Groves explains this by say
ing that she had perfect right to that
name When asked if she will seek di-
vorce, Mrs. Groves said that this will
be unnecessary. as her husband has
committed crime that will land him
in state prison and this fact will give
her the divorce.
