death of this man. We will suppose
that he saw him approaching the
Hamilton house and shoots him from
his window and then rushes upon the
scene hinging the pistol one side, and
was there, as we know he was, be
fore Mr.. Carter could get there. Or
we will suppose that some other per
son, Solomon Marks, for instance, got
possession of Dan Fry's pistol and
followed Edes, shot him, and disap-
peared down the river
1T is well known in Grovedale, and
can be proved by half score of wit
nesses, that Solomon Marks was
twice closeted with the defendant,
ard that he went to the Fry house,
when it is easy to suppose he found
an opportunity to get possession Of
the pistol, to make it appear that
my client committed suicide-for
there is no doubt but that the shot
was fired to kill him. Now, it is per
fectly clear to me and must be to
you, that the false claimant under

Vane Hamilton out of the world re-
stored him to the full possession OF
his faculties. Strange, yet true. Can
we doubt, after such a manifestation
in the overruling for good of the
Divine Providence which so often
says to crime, Thus far shalt thou
so, but no farther he recovered to
prosecute his claims to his family and

1t was then five o'clock. and an ad-
journment was taken until the next
morning.
When the little court house bell be-
gan to ring next day the streets rap
idly filed. and soon the small room
was thronged with eager spectators.
The work of the day was entered

lost and returned through the efforts
of Primus Edes, as he was called,
she allowed her heart to rule her
hands to the extent of showing her
gratitude by gifts for his personal
comfort and convenience at Mrs.
Fry's.
Now comes the false claimant, Mr.
Hamilton, or Ashley, on the scene,
safe, as he supposes in his fraudulent
claim, because he thinks his wronged
brother is dead. He is the exact
image of the cashier, as we all know
and he was received by. Grovedale
people with open arms. His extra
ordinary nerve, ingenuity, and fertil-
ity of resource carried him through
various tests and examinations, and
he was installed in the place of the
true and lawful owner and tenant of
the Hamilton estate. But there was
one, gentlemen, who did not receive
him. 1t was Mrs. Hamilton. She
could not believe he was her husband
and what testimony is better than
that of wife who for seven years
lived with him and came to know all
his ways, his movements, his tricks
of manner, everything which goes to
make up personality, which we all
know does not consist entirely of
features, height, voice, complexion
Personality is of more subtle,
elusive nature. 1t may elude recogni-
ton by all except the more intimate
friends. In this case it evaded all but
that of the wife, the true, loving wom-
an who, through all would not be
cheated by false resemblance"
Then in a low, impressive voice Mr..
Morley preached the matter of physi-
cal odor which, exhaled from the ma
terial body, enables a dog to distin-
glIsh his master from all other per-
sons. Lost children, slaves, fugitives
from justice, have been tracked by this
physical odor, so powerful and unmis-
taxable as to cling to articles Of
clothing worn by the person. Many
people have the sense of smell strong

now appeared that Mr.. Hamilton had

the disguise thus afforded succeeded
in getting clear of the town. The

Arbitration Displacing War.

Anyone who has carefully followed
The arbitration movement during the
decade since 1895, including the work
and results Of The Hague conference,
TO say nothing of the nearly 200 cases
OF dispute settled by this means in
the previous so years, knows that
arbitration can no longer fairly be
spoken of as an experiment. Arbitra-
ton il not any longer an experiment,
nor even series of experiments,
says an Atlantic writer. 1t is now the
settled practice of the civilized ma
tons when disputes arise between
them, and is universally recognized
in international law. A government
which will not try arbitration before
resorting to arms is, in these days.
scarcely considered respectable. War,
instead of being the general practice
of nations. as it was a century ago,
when serious disputes arose between
chem, is no longer resorted to except
In rare instances, ard in most of
these instances the causes run far
back into the past and have created
deep prejudices and deeply-rooted
feelings OF distrust and luminosity
which do not readily yield to rational
pacific treatment. During the decade
of which we are speaking there have
been four wars: the China-Japan war.
The American-Philippine war,
Ghe Boer war and the Russo-Japanese
var; or nine il we add to these the
Boxer conflict in China, the German
war in southwestern Africa, still 60
Ang on, the Venezuela blockade. the
Hhibet expedition and the bloodless
Panama revolution. But during the
same period there have been almost
400 settlements by arbitration. All
of these have been important, and
Eome of them OF the most difficult and
delicate character; as for example,
the boundary dispute between Chilli
and the Argentine Republic, the Brit
ish-Venezuelan boundary dispute, the
Alaska boundary controversy and the
North sea incident between Great
Britain and Russia, which. though
adjusted by commission Of inquiry,
was really an arbitration OF the first
