THE ADVERTISING
GUARANTEE.
KEENEDGE co.

When man makes good thing,
and knows it is good; when he is
willing to stand back of it and
guarantee it to every purchaser,
isn't it entitled to a worldwide
audience?
The mere fact that a house has
the courage to advertise its goods,
to make the fight for recognition,
to stand the expense of publicity,
should go to show that the goods
of that house must justify the
effort.
Just here is the point-adver-
tised goods must have exceptional
quality, unusual merit, and remark
able moneys worth, else it would
not pay to advertise them. That S
why we encourage our readers to
patronize our advertising columns.
They are worth your attention.

very few of the editors would accept
their copy or their money. On the
other hand, they printed our matter
without money and without price. A
part of this was in the form of free
plate matter, part in the form of
news and part was in the form Of
editorial. The "hotter" the copy, the
better it seemed to please them Many
of them, in addition to printing our

committees and spent their own
money in travelling, speaking and
working for the cause. 1t goes to

newspapers can be if they set out in
the right direction.

Mcdowell came direct from the New

he began using letterheads of the
Taxpayers Association, which had
no existence in fact 1t was merely
the alias under which the brewers did
business.
When this was exposed, Mcdowell
tried using the alias "The National

of mystery. There were connecting

clude her story might fit 1t tot 'th.

the darkness. Yet my mind tena-
ciously held to It's original theory as
to Eric's strange disappearance
had been betrayed by Grant. and was
being held prisoner. But where? By
whom? And for what purpose?
l pondered on this problem as my
horse ploughed forward through the
dust, my eyes unconsciously scanning
the dark road. Grant could not have
known that Colonel Mortimer was be-
ing taken home. His meeting with the
ambulance party was altogether an &C.
cident. Yet had no faith the man
was out seeking British stragglers, for
had he been dispatched on such a mis-
sion he would have had at least a
squad Of soldiers with him. Then what .?
The probability was that he was eth.
er riding to Elmhurst. or to some rem
devious with Fagin. Some plan had
been interrupted by Clinton's sudden
march. by the British defeat at Mon
mouth. and Grant was risking his
commission. Drawing the charge of de-
sertion, for some private purpose,
This might be love of Claire, revenge
upon Eric, or possibly both combined.
The latter would seem most probable,
He would use Eric in some way to
threaten the sister. to compel her to
sacrifice herself. She was of a nature
to do this. as was already abundantly
proved by her assumption Of male
attire to save Eric's reputation. My
own responsibility loomed large as l
reached this conclusion. and remem-
bered her appeal for help. She. also,
must suspect the truth. and had turned
to me as the only one capable Of un-
raveling the mystery. She trusted me,
loved me, now believed-and. under
God. would prove worthy Of her faith.
