Odd Billiard Facts.

A billiard table can be built in twen-
tyfour hours if carte blanche is given
to the manufacturer, but he prefers to
have time to get the right effects from
one month to six. The wood needs to
be seasoned for period Of nearly sew
EN- years. Rich, deep Spanish mahog-
any is used, pollard oak, ebony and sat
in wood.
Tables are not always covered in
green. Blue is sometimes used and
pure olive green. The Late Prince Leo
pold was the first to make use Of the
latter color, and olive green is known
to-day in the billiard world as Prince
Leopold's color.
The balls must be we'll seasoned be-
fore they are used for play. Manufac.
turers have incubators in which to
store them, that they may undergo the
drying process. Some incubators will
hold fully 5000 balls. When they are
first made, they are "green.'' Solid
ivory is the only satisfactory material
of which to make them; "artitcial
balls" (those made of composition) are
much heavier and do not Wear well.
English makers, to give the red balls a
perfect color, steep them in decoction
that is sometimes described as the
''guardsman's bath" This is extracted
from the old coats of Tommy Atkins,
and for billiard balls it is the finest
scarlet dye known.

German Manufacture of Need1es

1,S3O,OOO pounds in 1885. AS showing
the rate at which the export side Of

stated that in the eight years, 1SSO-1SS7,
the shipments were 11,615,OOO pounds,

these goods is China, which in 1896
took 60 per cent. of the whole export,

"Under the ice-cold, silent and dead
then he would be free to marry me-.
II am not satisfied over Anice," said
Lady Pitcairn to Sir Peter; ''if she does
not seem better tomorrow, l shall call
in physician. She looks as though she
were going to have brain fever"
Sir Peter softly murmured as he COM
posed himself to sleep, that it was all nom
sense-she was never happy unless she
had sensation on hand-that Anice was
right enough
While Anice went to her room and
dressed, she hid the two pairs of skates
in her shawl, then called to see if Cecile
were ready. Cecile looked anXiously at
her.
Are you quite sure that you ought td
go out, Anice" she asked. Indeed, you
do not look fit for it; 1 can see that you
tremble, and you look SO terribly ILL.,"
II am right enough" said Anice. "The
fresh air will do me good-it always does;
do not let us waste the morning in talk
ing about it,
Ceclle said no more; she could hardly
explain, even to herself, the fear and pre-
sentiment that came over her, the dread
she had of going out with Anice the long
ing to stay at home. Still her sister seem
ed bent on it, and she would not disap-
point Eer; she would go on, and then An
ice would have no cause of complaint.
Ihey need not stay out very long and Leo
fric was coming back tonight. They
went out together; neither Lady Pitcairn
nor Sir Peter saw them; they crossed the
park. A little further, and there lay the
pool, mass of glittering ice so dazzling
one could hardly look at it.
How beautiful" cried Cecile. "Look
how the sunbeams lie on it,
Walking slowly past them was the gar
dener who had charge of the pool and the
boat house. He touched his cap as the
ladies passed on.
"Cecile," cried Anice suddenly, "send
IhWaites to the house, and tell him to
ask for your fur mantle, you look cold"
But l do not want my fur mantle,
Anice," said the young girl.
Never mind" was the imperious an
swer. "do as 1 wish. promised Leofric
to take care of you; do not make me mis-
cradle by refusing all I wish. Thwaites,
will you go up to the house for me? l
want my sisters fur mantle; ask for my
maid, Laurette, she will give it to you.' i
The man touched his hat and went
away.
II wonder, Anice, if the ice is quite
safe?' asked Cecile. SIT seems to me
many degrees warmer this morning."
The dark eyes wandered over the leaf
less trees, then over the white lake: then,
with all their weird fire deepened, they
fastened on her sisters face.
'1t is quite safe, 1 am sure" she said;
eve will go to Pretty Bay first; the ice
looks most solid there; let me fasten your
skates, Cecle."
She bent down and fastened them.
You go first she said; Il will follow"
Yet some impulse, in the midst of her
passion and madness, came to her and
made her 'stoop, Judas-like, to kiss the
fair young face.

And the slender, graceful figure of the
girl glided away with the swift, free mo-
ton of bird; away to the fatal spot;
where the ice was broken and weak.

CHAPTER XVI.


The following morning was bright, cold,
and clear. Cecile's first thought on wax
ing was that Leofric would be home that
day, and her heart grew warm with a
sense of delight. He had only been alb
sent a few hours. yet she missed him so
keenly. He was to be home to-day. She
went downstairs with bright smile on
her face. Anice was alone in the break
fast room-alone. with strange look on
her face, and fire in her eyes. She kissed
Cecile.
Il am glad you are down early" she
said; Il wanted to see you, Cecile; we
were very dull yesterday; let us have
some little amusement to-day"
"Leofric is coming home" said Cecilo,
as though nothing i'll the world could mat
ter if he were only coming back.
The white fingers frightened their clasp
on Cecile's arm, the lurid fire in the dark
eyes deepened. Anice bent her head and
whispered: Shall we go to Ladydeep
Pool%' The flame of her breath burned
the fair, happy face as it touched it.
"Yes, we will go there-but why do you
whisper, Anice:"

be alone with you this morning, and not
to take that tiresome Miss Dunn with u.s."
Il do not wish to take Miss Dunn, An
ice; would far rather be with you've

Oh, Anice, how tightly you hold my arm.
And your eyes; they frighten met is
as though they were on fire.
"Cecile, you try my patience. What
matters my eyes or anything else? l am
talking to you-listen."
Cecle stood still, yet something of fear
came over her: Ance was so strange
so unlike herself.
"We will amuse ourselves" whispered
the hoarse voice; ''we will skate, Cecile,
this morning, on Ladydeep Pool-are you
willing"
'"There is nothing 1 should like better,
only it will seem strange without Leo

DO not tell Miss Dunn--if she knows,
she is cure to go with us, and we want to

1--WE want to skate" laughed helpless
Cecile. II will not tell her.
Cecile sat down to her breakfast. 1t
was Lady Pitcairn who noticed that An
ice had nothing on her plate, and had not
even touched her coffee. She was full of
anxious inquiries-Anice must be i'll or
overtired-why did she not eat or drink +?
Her eyes were too bright, her hands hot

Duke of Tetuan Who DistinEnished
Himself in the Spanish Cortes.
The Duke of Tetuan, who recently
distinguished himself by slapping the
face OF Senator Comas on the floor of
the Spanish cortes, is an Irishman in
blood. He is the son of General o.
Donnell who in 1860, during the war
With the Moors, invested and captured
the town of Tetuan in Morocco and
got a title for his bravery. The Duke
has title apart from that which he
has inherited from his fighting father
in Spain. 1t is that of Lord Donegal
in Ireland. The name of the family
is an illustrious one in Irish history.
and when the present Dukes ancestors
left their native land to espouse the
cause of Spain they also left an estate
that had been forcibly taken from
them during the time of Elizabeth.
Tetuan's father was a soldier par ex-
cellence, and a courtier too. The son

CHAPTER Nv,

To be jealous is to be angry with God
and man; to spread Il funeral pail over the
blue sky and the fair earth: to feed a
fire that burns the heart away; to live but
live in death. Jealousy is more bitter
than death, it is strong as hell, and in
cites man to quicker and more dreadful
deeds than any other passion. Ance Pit
cairn gave herself up to it; she never tried
in the least degree to restrain it; she ask
ed no help from heaven, no counsel from
those on earth. she let her soul drift down
the tide of passion. and stretched out no
hand for help. If she had been wise she
would have absented herself during his
visits; she would not have allowed her
thoughts to rest on him. her mind to brood
over him.
Instead cf that although every word
he spoke to her sister was torture to her,
she could not refrain from listening. AL
though every loving gesture, every tender
whisper was death to her, she watched
them; she fed her own hate; she gave up
her whole soul to the tormentor.
''Anice," said Lady Pitcairn one morn
ing, .'my dear, you must have change of
air. You are looking very i'll. You are
losing your beauty"
II am losing my life," said the girl to
herself, but she made no answer.
She looked at her own face when she
went to her mirror 1t was changed-the
bright, proud beauty was gone; there was
the trace of all-cOnsuming passion, the
eyes told Of many watches, the mouth of
long. bitter pain; yet she had neither the
self-restraint nor control to trample her
passion under her feet.
There were times when Lady Hilda,
who saw more of her than any one else.
felt quite frightened, when she wondered
how it would end-when she wondered
still more that the other members of the
household did not see the dangers she
saw. She wondered why that altered face
and changed manner did not attract more
attention. Evil or death must come of it.,
she felt assured.
Christmas was drawing near, and Lady
uilda saw what no one else saW-that the
mind of the beautiful, passionate woman
who loved so well and so unhappily, was
FAST losing it's strength, and still no one
