In eordial greeting found the palm warm. They

commanded perfect view OF the table from

and sat down one seat removed from his ad-

championship emblem. 1t was the trophy OF
thc worlds supremacy Mt fourteen-i inch balk-
line billiards. aud he had won 1t when 1t was
arst pla yed for. and he frankly admitted that he
wanted to keen it. He needs II In his business.
