Important Notice
to the Public.

THE GOLDEN RULE DRY
GOODS COMPANY begs to am
nOunoe an important change
in policy which, we are con-
WINGED, cannot fail to accrue
to the benefit of the people Of
Albuquerque and Of New Mex
leo.
After the most mature de-
liberation, we hive decided
that the interests of all classes
Of the local public will be best
served by placing the business
of this store--the peoples
store-UP0N A CASH BASIS;
and our patrons are therefore
respectfully notified that,
after today, NO NEW AC-
COUNTS WILL BE OPENED.
The Golden Rule Dry Goods
Company was established more
than % Years ago with the
single purpose Of giving the
people Of tiiis community BET
TER VALUES FOR LESS; and
the change in policy ANNOUNCE
ed today means simply another
forward step in the carrying
out Of this purpose.
Despite the handicaps Of the
old credit system, the Golden
Rule store has, because of its
exceptional buying facilities,
always led the bargain pro-
cession in New Mexico. The
people have learned that our
slogan, I'VE Do What We ADJ
vertise," means exactly what
it says; and when the Golden
Rule announces mOney-saving
offerings, patrons invariably
find each item exactly as rep
resented.
Under the new cash system
Ia system which is being adj
opted by progressive stores
throughout the country-our
merchandising facilities will
be greatly increased and we
shall be in a position to break
even our own low-price rec
0rds.
In a word, our change 20 a
cash basis means that goods In
every department Of the Col
den Rule store can and will
be sold at a minimum profit
at prices heretofore considered
impossible in the west.
We have said that this was
an important notice. We think
YOU now see its Importance 70

men, women and children.

The Reputation of a Woman.

The Reputation of Woman.

with indignant protest Already, be-

must be accomplished quickly, or it

into my face.
Damn it," he cried, Juggling
viciously at a revolver in his belt, Il
know that facet You are the measly
Johnny Reb / brought in day before
yesterday"
There came q quick flutter of drap-
cry at my side, and she, pressing me
firmly backward, far ID him without a
word.
The mans extended arm dropped to
his side as though pierced by bullet,
and he took one step backward,
shrinking as if his startled eyes be-
held ghost.
'Edith?" he cried, as though doubt
ing his own vision, and the ring or
agony in his voice was almost piteous.
Edith! My God! You here, at mid
night, alone with this MANI"
However the words, the tone, the
gesture may have stung her, her face
remained proudly calm, her voice cold
and clear.
Il certainly am, Major Brennan, /"
she answered, her eyes never once
leaving his face. And may ask
what reason you can have to object?"
"Reason?" His voice had grown
hoarse with passion and surprise.
MY God, how can you ask? How
can you even face me? Why do you
not sink down in shame? Alone
here, he looked about him into the
darkness-''at such an hour, in COM
pany with a Rebel, a sneaking, cow
ardly spy, already condemned to be
shot. By Heaven! he shall never live
to boast of it!''
He flung up his revolver barrel to
prove the truth of his threat, but she
stepped directly between us, and
shielded me with her form

Truly, you must indeed love him. .
he sneered.
So close to me was she standing
that could feel her form tremble at
this insult, yet her voice remained
emotionless.
Your uncalled-for words shame
me, not my actions. In being here
with Captain Wayne tonight am
merely paying a simple debt of honor
"a double debt, indeed, considering
that he was condemned to death by
your lie, while you deceived me by
another"
Did he tell you that?"
He did not. Like the true gentle
man he has ever shown himself to be,
he endeavored to disguise the facts,
to withhold from me all knowledge
of your dastardly action. know it
by the infamous sentence pronounced
against him and by your falsehood to
me-"
Edith, you mistake" he urged anx-
iously. Il was told that he had
been sent North.
She drew a deep breath, as though
she could scarcely grasp the full au-
dacity of his pretence to ignorance.

from so unmerited fate; for you
know as well as do that he has been

He stepped forward with a half
smothered oath. and rested one hand
heavily upon her shoulder.

said. Damn him. | will hang him

Rendered desperate by her slight
resistance and his own jealous hatred,
he thrust the woman aside so rudely
