The writ OF ejectment was served.
Seven days intervened. and . writ OF
summons followed. Mr.. Hamilton
agreed to recognize at the nrst term
OF the Supreme Court. and he engaged
the counsel OF Stone 4 Ferguson.
whose reputation by many was con-
sidered to equal that OF Morley 4
Stevens.
The claimant case was one OF the
first presented. II was to be tried by
jury. and the chief justice and four
associate judges were all In the court
room when the case was called. The
principals sat with their counsel. Mrs.
Hamilton and her uncle together In
the audience.
Mr.. Morley opened the case for the
plaintiff In something like the follow
ing words:

briefly as possible the main facts

my unhappy client.
You all know the plaintiff as well
as I do. 1t was this man who lived
among you more than dozen years.
and all that time held responsible
place in the community.
Mr.. Morley then broached the sub
ject Of the plaintiffs mysterious year

ise to a dying mother to seek for his
twin brother supposed by all but her
to have died soon after he was stolen.

Now for the proof of the plaintiffs

nurse, Hannah Sargent, who confess

anonymous letter saying that the
child had died soon after being

mind OF her former mistress, whom
she had often heard say that she
should feel better to know her son

when she spoke to him as II she

but not in Grovedale. for she was
surprised when she thought she saw
him coming. This argues strong re-
semblance on the part OF the twin
brothers. and which we know existed.
When Mr.. Hamilton recognized her.
as he did by her emerald hair, he
asked her II he might talk with her.
and mentioned that he was intending
to take the next train for Portland.
The woman appeared puzzled. but
replied readily enough that she would
talk with him on the train.

still supposed he was her husband.

not wish her to recognize him on
the street? shall prove to yoN that

ful not to bring detection upon her
husband, whom unexpectedly she sup
posed she had met In Grovedale when
she thought he was safe In Canada.
In her first excitement she forgot her
caution. but from that time was pru-

he saw him at the Portland depot. but
after that lost sight of him.
Now comes in the testimony of n
commercial traveller, named George
Barnstead. His testimony is of so
astounding a nature that 1t needs to
be well authenticated and vouched
for. as 1t is in this instance. Mr..
barnstead Is of an active. alert na-
ture, and little goes on under his
gaze without notice.

when he left Grovedale. He stood
there in the same attitude for at least
Two minutes. He appeared to be
troubled in his mind, Mr.. Barnstead
thought. At the expiration of the two
minutes. more or less, another man
entered and looked at Mr.. Hamilton
as IL deeply astonished, literally as
ne could not keep his eyes on. He
was man OF about Mr.. Hamilton's

returning as II abon, to accost him,

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Soap and wood ashes is excellent for
cleaning zinc tubs and pals.
Mud stains can be removed from silk
flannel or, II stubborn. with piece of
linen wet with alcohol.
The scrubbing brush must always
be moved up and down the boards ac-
cording to the grain of the wood, not
across. Care must also be taken not
20 leave a mark when changing from
one part to the other.
The inartistic gold and silver rndia-
tors bid fair to become a thing Of the
past. as radiators are now being
painted to match the room-that is,
white II the paint is white and the
natural color II the woodwork is I'M
painted.
To keep bread in good condition try
lining the breadbox with paper. creas-
ing 1t SO as TO fit well In the corners
The bread will stay fresh much longer
and will not mold SO readily. The
paper should be renewed several
times n week.
To prevent cake from sticking to
tins when baked. grease the tins. then
dust them with -four. Lightly beat out
the loose flour. leaving only what
sticks to the grease. This does away
with the old-fashioned method OF lin
ing the pans with CREASED paper.
Did you ever see n dainty little
cheesecloth baby quilt all humpy after
one or two washings? II instead of
cotton batting two or three layers of a
soft old blanket are used and tackled
as usual this will not happen. If it's
the first baby and everything in the
house is brand new surely some old
er housekeeper friend viii be glad to
give you one OF her nearly worn-out
blankets.
When laundering lace curtains II a
creamy shade is desired add clear.
strong coffee to the starch.
Handkerchiefs and towels can be
bleached by washing in tn, usual man
ner and then letting then, stand over
night in a solution of ore-half tea

where bright surface Is desired:
Half pint Of alcohol, hslf an ounce
