"All this makes 1t evident that
Lenora expected to meet her husband,
but not in Grovedale. for she was
surprised when she thought she saw
him coming. This argues a 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 If 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.
What does this prove but that she
still supposed he was her husband.
and that from prudent motives he did
not wish her to recognize him on
the street? l shall prove to you that
her husband, Victor Hamilton, other
wise Ashley, was fugitive from JUS
tice, and his wifes caution was need
full 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-
dent In proof of this wrong conclu-
sion regarding the identity of her hus-
band she took the train south instead
of the one north. Why did she dc
! this? Simply to travel with her hus
band as she supposed him TO be, and
learn his plans.

with her, but recollects nothing tina

that they are in reality paying more
for an inferior grade OF goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them a few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations in the United States,
all kinds OF schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol
lar of the country people. and they
have been so far successful, Mt the
great expense OF the home town OF the
people that sent their money TO these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit Of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or Is cents a year.
They build up a circulation on this
low price OF hundreds of thousands;
this circulation brings to them mil
lions of dollars In advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for advertising is more than
doubled from the sales OF these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.

The home merchant advertises or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the held
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper because
II gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements of the merchants are
read by them. If the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can
not AFFORD to advertise, and without
advertising paper will soon prove
failure, Soon the home paper Is sent
