AZ Mr.. Carney was ushered into

and stepped from behind my desk with
outstretched hand: but as he raised
his face to mine drew back in amaze

to chair with scant ceremony.

myself. as he shambled drowsily to
the seat had indicated and dropped
into 1t with q thlckly uttered Thank
you"
He seemed to fall asleep for a mo-
ment. and eyed him steadily for some
time before I could bring myself to
speak. And so the handsome. straight
forward. manly fellow Of three years
ago had sunk to this! A sodden, de.
graded wretch. unfit to associate with
pigs in a sty. and yet the heir to a
vast estate and the sole legitimate
protector OF the sweetfaced orphan at
Carney-Croft who awaited his coming
with the impatience born OF love and
hope and confidlng trust! God help
the poor girl now. and God help the
accursed wreck that sat opposite me,
His heavy breathing wheeling in
and out OF his throat: his listless.

the effects OF his excesses: his body,

| price: maybe II gives picture OF the
article also. but you don't see the
goods. The local merchant shows you
the goods: you may examine them
critically; he may allow you to test
them or to call in an expert to advise
you. Is it fair to conclude that the
catalogue article is the cheaper just
because the price is lower?
An element that must enter into the
comparison of goods and prices is.
that in any attempt to fool the GUS
toner, the local merchant is decided.
ly at a disadvantage. He must show
the goods, not merely describe them.
His business depends wholly upon the
limited trading area of his town and
his ability to inspire confidence within
that circle. He cannot afford to make
a practice OF misrepresenting his
goods.
The mail order house is not so tied
down to the maxim that Honesty Is
the best policy" 1t has no neighbors.
no fellow citizens, no mutual interests
with It's patrons. Its trade area is
wide and always shifting. Naturally
these conditions do not demand extra
ordinary vigilance in supplying hon.
est-made goods. And where Vigilance
is not needed employe in the busi-
ness he is generally taken OF the pay
roll. which makes a saving In expense,
as well as in the cost Of the goods. II
lower prices are quoted by the cata.
logue house. may not this account for
It?
"Will 1t pay?" Is 1t matter Of
economy to buy inferior and damaged
goods when the same money, or even
a little more. will pay for goods Of the
best quality? Which course does q
mans first duty to his own household
dictate?
But to get at the bottom Of that
question. We must consider the far

A consideration more important.
perhaps. is that the printed price In

quoted at the local store. Isn't that
conclusive? Let's see. The catalogue
