strenuous r,y in "Rest Cure"

"The rest cure" said the paleiaced
man, YEARLY. as he stopped to reply
to the question of an inquisitive friend.
"ig not all my fancy painted it. Here
is how it worked out in my case.

could for the sufferer. Mr.. Marks is
respectable man who was known to
the Hamilton family in early life, and
as an old acquaintance was kindly re-
ceived by my client. He has followed
the calling of book agent, and fingered

ment from the publishers should ar
rive"
Mr.. Ferguson spoke with earnest-
ness and eloquence, well sustaining
t1 reputation. The counter-charge oi
murder against the plaintiff created no
little excitement among those VINO
now heard it for the first time.
Mrs. Hamilton's letter signed Gaia
Lily was produced in court and sworn
to as genuine. Even she did not deny
il. hut said it was one she wrote TO her
husband, at least year ago, and she
nreferred to believe it additional proof
that the claimant really was her nus
band.
Her declaration was evidently so
sincere that many gave 1t instant be-
lief. They felt convinced that in some
way the letter had come into the pos
session of Edes, perhaps with the key
and notes This was the one which
Mrs. Fry found in the lining of his
coat. and which she sent to Mr.. Swan
and by him was transmitted to Mr.
Bruce. Two witnesses from the neigh
borhood where Mrs. Ashley resided
testified to the manner of her death,
and the curious report was read in
court. The letter written by her hus-
hand they stated could not be found.
but one witness. a woman, Mrs. Mann.
testified to having seen and read it
that Mrs. Ashley showed 1t to her, and
the ring. on the day of its receipt.
At the close of the testimony for the
respondent it seemed clear case in
his favor, and, as the public judged, it
must so appear to the jury. Still. the
interest did not subside, and on the
morning of the seventh day of the
trial the court house was thronged to
hear the closing arguments by the

dut to falling off in the receipts of
southerns. as the season for moving
these to the Northwest is practically
over. There was also falling of from
the preceding week in the native of
ferings here, and the market on the
whole was "a little quiet. Demand was
very strong for beef cattle and prices
firm from day to day. but there is no
very material change from week ago
in quotations. Choice steers would
have sold up to $500, but there was
nothing here good enough to land
above $4.6O, and most of the offerings
sold from this down to $500. Cows
were in good demand II they were
choice, but common grass stun was
dull and a good many natives had to
sell below $500. Some Wyoming grass
cows sold at S3.75. the high price of the
week, and good grass natives ranged
from this down to $500. Bulls were in
fair demand and sold largely at $40
to $275. Veals firm and Il few Nncy
ones Saturday brought $3.50, but bulk
of the weeks supply went at $500 to
$5.25. Feeder and stocker demand
continues very light at all markets and
business done last week was light.
Prices remain just about the same, al
though a few good steers went to the
country last week at firm to shade
higher prices. Business in the feeder
and stocker division will be light for
a few weeks longer, but dealers are
looking for a good demand little
later in the season.
Hog prices are about the same as
week ago, tops now selling at $3.50
to s6.55. The packers are now in good
shape to hanule all the hogs coming
this way and are paying river tops for
the best.
The sheep demand continues very
strong and market in good shape here
with prices fully steady. Eastern mar
kets are lower than week ago.

CHAPTER xxi.-continued.

This letter was found by Detective
Swan, or rather by Mrs. Fry, in the
lining of Edes' coat, but through his
efforts, and he transmitted it to De-
tective Bruce. 1t would be produced
in court in due order of the testimony.
The rest was known-the claim to Mr..
Hamilton's estate and family. At this
point nothing would be said about the
motive. which was only too apparent,
but illusions must be made to seri-
Gus charge against Henry Ashley,
alias Primus Edes, for the murder of
his wife, the beautiful, unfortunate Le-
nora, who died of poison but two
weeks previous to the claims set up
by Edes. She received by mail pois-
oned ring, and was asked to wear it in
remembrance of her husband, who
would soon return to her. The name
signed was Henry Ashley, and 1t had
been proved that after wearing the
ring week she died. The body was
buried but afterwards disinterred, and
1t was proved that she was poisoned
by the ring, without doubt. This
charge would be proven by competent
witnesses to be true. 1t was very
startling when taken into account
with Edes' infatuaticn for Mrs. Ham
ilton. and his claim that she was his
wife
you will see how diabolical was his
plan, and you can also see his motive.
But for his love for Mrs. Hamilton he
would never have dared to thrust his
claim before the public: but as Sam

hy love of woman. Mr.. Hamiltons
course has been straightforward
throughout. Having nothing to con-
ceal, there have been no efforts at con-
cealment. He warned EGes not to
come near his house, as yon or
would have done. But when he heard
the shot fred he jumped from his bed,
rushed out. saw that he was lying
wounded upon the ground. and forgot

some women will, through evil as well
as good report; or if he did not forget
it, he put these considerations one
side. and set himself to win the notice
of Mrs. Hamilton.
"She, from the first. professed to
see resemblance in Primus Edes to
her husband. and, no doubt, he heard
of 1t. But he made no use of this idea
until after the return of her husband.
and he was warned not to go near the
premises of the Hamiltons. Then he
shot himself one morning on those
very premises with pistol, without
doubt stolen from Dan Fry. in the
hopes of its being laid to Mr.. Hamil-
ton. He wished to make it appear
that he was shot by Mr.. Hamilton, and
the wound on his head-a slight one
was to be the groundwork of his
claims; for, no doubt, he planned the
whole scheme of villainy before the
shooting of himself.
Mrs. Hamilton did not go near
him. Indeed, she was prudent from
the first but when Mrs. Fry went for
thought was wilder than ever in his
rawlings. Mrs. Hamilton went over.
Edes claimed her as his wife the mo-
ment she entered the room, and she
did not gainsay him. The next thing
was to lay claim to the Hamilton
estates.
But before this, nearly two weeks
before the shooting. he sent the pois-
oned ring to his wife to remove her
from his path. The letter was signed
Henry Ashley and was loving. ten
der missive that would have deceived
any woman. She wore the ring a few
days and died. There was SO much
talk about the matter that it led to
disinterment of the remains. when it
was found that she had really peen
poisoned
Much more was said. but enough
has been adduced to give some idea of
Mr. Stones able and effective plea.
There was no doubt it had been well
considered, and it evidently bore upon
its face the individual belief of the
lawyer At its close friends gathered
around him, and both he and Mr.. Ham
ilton were warmly congratulated, for
court had adjourned, it being near
noon.
The claimant Edes Games in for
good share of the popular attention
during the plea, for he seemed instinct
with determination and defiance.
When allusion was made to Mrs. Ham
ilton he was seen to clench his hand
and start wrathfully in his seat. and
he leaned forward to say to his coun-
sci, Mr.. Stevens. that he was glad she
was not present.
Mr. Stevens was not glad. He felt
had she been in court Mr.. Stones
speech must have lost some of its ac-
rimony, and that her calm, ladylike
demeanor would have presented a
speaking contrast to his words. How
ever, the opportunity had passed. and
the counsel for the prosecution trem-
bled for the result.
Mr. Stevens began his argument at
about two o'clock, and hs rejosced
when he saw Mrs. Hamiltcn ente-' 'he

court room, for her presence nerved
him to greater effort and belief in the
justice of the cause he advocated.
He spoke of the able and exhaustive
argument of Mr.. Stone, and of the
manner in which the evidence had
been presented to make it show to
the best advantage. No men know
better how to conceal weak points
than they" but in this case they had
overdone the matter.
When the two men met at Portland
depot-as they most assuredly did
meet on the Friday in questionable
respondent had ample opportunity to
see for himself the condition of the
true claimants mind at that time. 1t
was perfectly evident that he had for
gotten his own name; and when after
the supposed death of his victim he
came here to take the place of his
brother, to fraudulently take possess
sion. what course would look so plaus-
ible as to pretend he had lost his men,
ory, as he knew the other to have
done. This would account for the
long absence, the probable manner of
Hamilton on his way to Portland, and
and inconvenient lack of kowledge re-
sarding people and events which
would of necessity recur to him. He
could lay it to lapses of memory, as
he had done more than once.
The respondent. who was in reality
Ashley himself. was man of great
resources, of great fertility. He came
to Grovedale to step into his twin
brothers possessions. after the sup
posed death of the true Vane Hamil-
ton; and he laid claim to the latter's
manner, peculiarities, and so forth,
much of which was natural to him.
The great resemblance was true and
undoubted. but probably no greater
than is often observed between twins
of both sexes.
