The Salvaâ€" tion Army, it concluded, had been vieâ€" timized, and an announcement to this effect was printed. Meanwhile McCarthy was looking up a few old acquaintances in Michigan City â€"he drove an ice wagon while he was om paroleâ€"and making preparations to bury himself, perhaps for the rest of his life, Then, late in the afternoon, he stuck his little bundle under his arm and walked to the prison. When he arrived at the prison be found that his story had preceded him. Upon learning that he was on has way the prison officials began looking up â€" his record. There was no "William â€" Meâ€" Carthy" on the prison books but after a little search it was found that "Thomas McCarthy" had begun his sentence for grand larceny in 1903, had been paroled in August, 1905, and had broken his parole in October of the same year.

Meâ€" Carty started from â€" North Yakima, Wash., with nothing but his railroad ticket and a firm conviction gained durâ€" ing a series of Salvation Army meetings, that it was disduty to return to Indiana and redeem the parole he had broken years before when he got drunk and hit a man over the head in a street fight. "My name is McCarty," he said, in a matter of fact tone. "I broke my parole with you three years ago and I‘ve come to finish my sentence." "All right," the warden replied. "I‘ve been expecting you. Just step this way." Half an hour later the same man, in & prison uniform, came out of a cell in an upper tier, passed down a narrow corâ€" ridor, and took his place in the line which was filing toward the prison dinâ€" ing room. His number was 5,784. _ And that number marked the end of William Mc(:'.rty'n journey.

Some lines are already going fOl.’- ward, and the outlook for a big season‘s trade is most promising. Some buyers show conservatism, and say they will await a return visit of travellers, On this account a splendid late trade is looked forward to. In woollens and other staple prices have an upward tendency. The past month has seen an excellent business in household furnishings. There has been more activity in building durâ€" ing the past week, the value of permits having shown a good increase over those of last year. continue to increase in volume, and the advance business for fall promises well. The two million dollar fire at Three Rivers and the breaking of the Cornwall Canal are both having some effect upon general trade here.
