THE BIG
Furniture Sale
AT THE
BEAUMONT
27 S. MAIN STREET
Is proving a great attraction with people who know
a money saving opportunity when they see it.
Many things are reduced to such an extent that you
save as much as one-third on the transaction. There
is not a piece of furniture or home furnishing in the
whole store that you cannot buy at a saving; for the
order has gone forth to reduce stock and clean up bro
ken lines and if cut prices mean anything to the people
of this city and section, we will accomplish our purpose.
Come and investigate these values, we know you'll buy
after viewing them.

CHAPTER XX. (CONTINUED).
Next morning the eager young mat
ate his breakfast, and read his paper,
a bit impatiently, while he waited foi
It to be late enough to start.
Soon after nine, he called a taxlcal
and went to the address Kitty had
sent htm.
Only the house number had beer,
told In the message, so when Fessen
den found himself In the vestibule of
an apartment house, , with sixteen
names above corresponding bells, he
was a bit taken aback.
"1 wish I'd started earlier," he
thought, "for it's a matter of trying
them all until I strike the right one."
But he fancied he could deduct
something from the names themselves
at least, for a start.
Eliminating one or two Irish sound
ing names, also a Smith and a Miller,
he concluded to try first two name,
which were doubtless French.
The first gave him no success at all.
but, undiaeouraged, he tried the other
"I wish to sec Miss Dupuy," he said
to the woman who opened the door.
"She is not here," was the curt an
swer. But the Intelligence In tlu
woman's eye at the mention of th
namo proved to Fessenden that ai
leact this was the right place.
"Don't misunderstand," he said gen
tly. "I want to see Miss Dupuy mere
ly for a few moments friendly con
versation. It will be for her. advan
tage to see me, rather than to refuse."
"But she la not here," repeated the
woman. 'There Is no person of thai
name in my house."
'When did she go?" asked Rol
quietly so quietly that the woman
was taken off her gup 1.
"About half an hour ago, jhe said,
and then, with a horror-stricken look
nt her own thoughtlessness, she added
hastily, "I mean my friend went. Your
Miss Dupuy, I do not know."
"Yes, you do," said Rob decidedly,
"and us she has gone, you must tell
me at once whore she went.
The woman refused and not until
after a somewhat stormy scene, and
some, rather severe threat on Fessrn
den's part did she consent to tell
that Cicely had gone to the Grand
Central station. More than that she
would not say, and thinking he was
wafting valuable time on her, Roll
turned and racing down the stairs, for
there was no elevator, he jumped In
his cub and whizzed away to the
station.
Political Announcement.
Notice. To the voters of Buncombe
county: I hereby announce myself a
candidate for sheriff of Buncombe
county .subject to the Republican con
vention. If nominated and elected I
shall strive to do my duty.
- ' F. M. LINDSEY.
"Do you know. Miss Dupuy, that
you are seriously incriminating your
self when you give false evidence?"
'I don't care," was the answer, not
flippantly given, but with an earnest
ness of which the speaker herself
seeme 1 unaware.
And Fessenden was a good enough
-uader of character to perceive that
she spoke truthfully.
The only construction he could put
jpon this was that, as he couldn't help
believing the girl was Innocent and
'.herefore feared no incriminating evl-
lence against her.
But in that case what was she
afraid of, and why was she running
away?
"Miss Dupuy," he began, starting on
new tack," please show more con
fidence in me. Will you answer me
more straightforwardly If I assure you
of my belief in your own Innocence?
I will not conceal from you the fact
that not every one is so convinced of
that as I am, and so I look to you for
help to establish It.
'Establish what? My innocence?"
jald Cicely, and now she looked be
wildered, rather than afraid. "Does
mybody think that I killed Miss Van
Norman?" ... ,
'Without going so far as to say any
one thinks so, I will tell you that they
think there are implications that point
to such a. thing."
"How absurd?" said Cicely, and the
honesty of her tone seemed to verify
fessenden' conviction that whatever
guilty knowledge this girl might pos
sess, she herself was innocent of
srtme.
"If it is an absurd idea, then why
not return to Mapleton and answer
any question that may be put to you?
You are Innocent, therefore you have
nothing to fear."

IS YOUR SILVERWARE
ALL RIGHT?
Thousands of Families Aire Wonder
Jug Why Sliver Plating Seeing to
Wear Off So Quickly Trou
ble Caused by Wrong
. Jllnd of Polish.
Have you noticed that your silver
ware doesn't seem to last as well as
it did some years agq? Many house
wives are complaining bitterly of this
and accusing the manufacturers of
using less sliver in the plating.
As a matter of fact, the fault is, as
a rule, entirely with the housewife
herself or using some new kind of
metal polish that aha knows nothing
about
Years of actual use will not do as
much damage to good silverware or
other metals as one or two cleanings
with a bad polish.
The trouble with a great many dry
polishes is that, in additien to re
quiring more work and time in clean
ing, they create a friction that rubs
off some of the sliver Itself.
Liquid polishes are easier and
quicker to use and do not rub oft the
silver. But many liquid polishes con
tain ammonia, which eats Into and
under the silver and causes it to
wear away, something like rust spoils
the surface of a piece of Iron.
For a good many ears there has
been on sale in stores all over the
country a liquid polish for all metals
that contains no ammonia and that is
called BURNISHINE. This is said to
be the oldest metal polish on the mar
ket and is made from some secret
formula that almost instantly cleans
and polishes any kind of metal with
out either scratching or wearing it
off or eating into it as ammonia
does.
Hundreds of fine old families who
have' a great deal of sliver as well as
harness trimmings and other metal
work to keep bright have used
BURNISHINE for generations. They
realize the Importance of avoiding
unscientific polishes that do more
harm than good and no inducement
could lead them to try any new polish
for their years of experience with
BURNISHINE ha proved to them
that It is not only easier and quicker,
but also that it never harms the fin-'

ClIArTRU XXI.
- A Suercfwful rerult.
Before he entered the station h
looked through the doorway, and to
his delight saw the girl for whom h(
was looking.
He did not rush madly into the
station, but paused a moment, and
then walked in qulotly, thinking that
If his quest should be successful he
most not frighten the excitable girl.
Cicely sat on one of the benches In
the waiting-room. In her dainty trav
eling costume of black, and her small
hat with its black veil, she looked so
fair and young that Rob felt sudden
misgivings as to his errand. But it
must be done, and quietly advancing,
he took a seat beside her.
"Where are you going, Miss Du
puy?" he asked in a voice which was
kinder and more gentle than he him
self realized.
She looked up with a start, and said
In a low voice, "Why do you follow
me? May I not be left alone to go
where I choose?"
"You may, Miss Dupuy, If you will
tell me where you are going, and give
me your word of honor that you will
return If sent for."
"To be put through an examination!
No, thunk you, I'm going away where
I nope I shall never see a detective
or a coroner again!"
"Are you afraid of them, Miss Du
puy?" The girl gave him a strange glance,
but it showed anxiety rather than fear.
However, her only reply was a low
spoken "Yes."
"And why are you afraid?"
"I am afraid I may tell things I
don't want to tell." The girl spoke
abstractedly and seemed to be think
ing aloud rather than addressing her
questioner.
It may be that Fesaenden was in
fluenced by her beauty or by the ex
quisite femlnlnty of her dainty con
tour and apparel, but aside from all
this he received a sudden Impression
that what this girl said did not be
token guilt. He could not have ex
nlnlnrd It to himself, but he was at
the moment ' convinced that though
she knew more than she had yet told,
Cicely Dupuy was herself Innocent
"Miss Dupuy,". he said very earn
estly. "won't you look upon me as i
friend Instead of a foe? I am quite
sure yon can tell me more than you
have told about the Van Norman
tragedy. Am I wrong in thinking you
are keeping something back?"
"I have nothing to tell." said Cicely,
and the stubboru expression returned
to her eyes.
It did not seem a very appropriate
place in which to carry on such a
personal conversation, but Fessenden
thought perhaps the very publicity of
the scene might tend t make Miss
Dupuy rwserv her equanimity better
than In a private house. Bo he went
on:
"Yea you have several things to tell
me, and I want you to tell me now.
The last time I talked to you about
this matter I asked you why you gave
false evidence as to the time that Mr.
Carleton entered the Van Norman
house, that evening, and you respond
ed by fainting away. Now you must
tell me why that question affected you
o seriously. ,
"It didn't. I was nervous and Aver
wrought, and I chanced to faint just
then." i
Fessenden saw that this explanation
was untrue, but had heen thought up
and held ready for this occasion. lie
stw, too, that the girl held herself
well In hand, so he dared to be more
! definite. In his Inquiries,
