There was a small Bible on the IL
brary table and MacArdel caused
jerks and the widow to place hand
upon it as they successfully took upon
themselves a solemn obligation to pre-
serve absolute secrecy concerning the
affair of the evening. This done. Mac
Ardel addressed them briefly but i'm
pressively:

said, that l have changed my opinion
as to your knowledge of the things
that are going on here I'll admit that
there is more to it than I thought at
first and that more people are mixed
up in it than l had supposed. But
| that only makes it the easier for us,
because, in affairs of this kind, there
is danger in numbers, and, while l
am convinced that you two are the
ringleaders in the whole business, the
more confederates you have the soon

AS long as you keep this thing to your
selves you won't get into trouble, but

that will make your hair stand on

forget that I'm doctor, and that
know, just as we'll as you do. what
those old rags have been used for!"
| With this significant remark, Mac
Ardel opened the door of the room
and we followed them out OF the
house and watched them as they clam
bered into the wagon and drove rapid
ly away.

when they ordered groceries, then the
English language is not understand
able. BY selling the stun that has
been put under the ban because of its
impurity. the mail order concerns
have been able to undersell the local
merchants living hundreds Of miles
away from the great centers Of sup
ply.
In carrying on this trade in impure
goods, the mail order houses have
done the greatest injury to the con-
sumner. While the local merchant has
lost some trade, he has had at least
a part of the business Of the ranch
man and miner in his vicinity. but
the consumer, who has been caught
by the Cheap" prices offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by long way. and there is no way
for him to get even.
AS 1t has proved with the groceries
sent out by the eastern mail order
houses, SO it is with the other lines
they work OF in Montana. The sad
dies and harness offered at phenom-
enally tow prices. the buggies and
wagons, at prices which seem almost
like giving the vehicles away. the
kitchen utensils which are priced in
the voluminous catalogues at figures
that indicate the local merchants are
highway robbers, the dry goods that
are offered at such infinitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
believe the mail order man is public
