For $n\geq 4$, we prove that any complete orientable stable hypersurfaces in R^n has only one end. This follows from a more general analytic theorem we prove in the paper.LaTex Form, to appear in Math Research LettersDifferential Geometry53C21, 53C42The structure of stable minimal hypersurfaces in R^ntext
