ALMOST CHAPTER XVII.
Another Case Of Abilene Men Gone
Wrong Averted.


Another case OF Abilene men gone
wrong has been narrowly escaped and
the 3EFLEcToR's thrilling serial has
barely missed having another chapter.
The following dispatch from the st.
Louis Republic tells the story:
DIXON, ILL.,, March S.-Charles ID.
Kelley left here about two weeks ago.
He told his wife he was going to Kan
-sas where he had bought out photo
graph gallery, and that when he got
there he would send for her and the
children. A few days ago Mrs, Kelley
received telegram from him at Chi.
cago, saying that hereafter she would
have TO look out for herself as he would
do no more for her. Yesterday she had
a letter from him which said about the
same thing. Kelley was painter and
doing a good business here, and 1t is
not known what is the cause OF
his peculiar conduct. Before leaving
he sold his painting business and his
house and lot. Mrs. Kelley had not
yet signed the deed Of sale to the house
when she received the telegram, and
will not do 80 now. This, Of course,
will be Of some help to her in support
ing the family, which consists Of FIVE
little girls, the eldest one only nine
years Of age. The house, however,
had mortgage attached to it for $500.
Kelley paid most of his debts before
going, but tried to get away without
paying his taxes, and would have
succeeded had not the tax collector
gone to his house just as he was pre-.
pairing to 40 and demanded and got
them. Kelley was man Of little
character.
Kelley is the man who purchased
Hansbrough's gallery and then 80 sud
denly resold it TO its old proprietor.
lie appeared gentlemanly and straight
forward but proved to be poor
financier, as he sold his gallery fol
$3.50 less than he paid for 1t. In view
of the above facts Abilene may con-
graduate itself that he dill not become
a perm anent fixture of the town.

Every seven years the pious Ishmaelites
make pilgrimage to the supposed grave
of our alleged common mother. The spot
is surrounded by high wall, and through
a crack in the rock roof of the little temple
grows a gigantic palm. 1t is n most DESC
late looking spot, and contrasts strongly
with that delightful paradise pictured by
Milton. On June 8, which is supposed tu
be the anniversary of the death of Abel, the
doors of the temple remain open all night.

Postage Stamps Are Very Modern.

The man who has the mania for collect
ing postage stamps is known technically
rs philatelist. Philately was much ridi
culed in its early days, and is still, both by
the press and those not acquainted with its
value
Postage stamps, as but few are aware
are of recent invention, and it is only since
1910 that letters have been stamped. With
the advent of the postage stamp rates
were greatly lowered. Before that, in Eng.
land, the charge for sending a letter the
shortest distance was siXpence, but with
the introduction Of the stamp it fell to a
penny. The introduction of the postal sys-
tenn as it at present exists in nearly every
country on the globe is credited to Great
Britain, which in 1870 issued covers and
envelopes to prepay letters all over the
kingdom. This plan was adopted through
the exertions of James Chalmers, although
the honor has long been given to Sir Row
land HILL
The first country to follow England was
Brazil. In 1912 set of three stamps was
issued, consisting simply of large numerals
denoting the value printed in black. Then
came the cantons of Switzerland and Fin
land with envelopes which today are very
rare; next came Russia, United States,
France, Belgium, Spain, Bavaria, and other
countries followed in the train, until at
the present time there is scarcely portion
of the globe inhabited by civilized people
that has not postal system.-Ohio State
Journal.
