cen the receptacle for recorded deeds;
hen it occurred to him that here was

folded paper in the mans hand, and was
about to deny it's ownership, when
his eye caught the name "Kil-
grow on the back of one of
the folds. He took the paper
with what nonchalance he could mus
ter, gave the old negro quarter, and
did not dare to look at the thing until he
had put hundred yards of the forest
on Johns mountain between himself
and the possibility of prying eyes.
Then he examined the square of grimy
paper with singing in his ears and
the blood jumping from heart to brain.
There was no room for doubt or uncer-
tainty; he held in his hand the forged
deed. The document which had so long
eluded him had come to him at last bv
the merest accident; and if anything
were needed to make his triumph com
plete, it was added by the discovery that
the written text of the deed was in the
unmistakable handwriting of Mr.. Jen-
klns Fench. That was enough: but
there was another and still more con-
elusive evidence of the forgery. The

plank liked its making five years later

What They Are Composed of and How
 They Are Made.
 Slate pencils undergo a number of processes before they are ready for use, and in making them nearly all of the manual labor iS done by boys. First broken pieces of slate are put into 3 mortar run by steam and arc crushed to q powder. which is then boltea ill q ma chine such as is used in Touring mills. A fine slate flour results, which is thor oughly mixed in q large tub with stea- tite flour and other materials, the whole making a stiff dough. The dough is kneaded by being passed between iron rollers number of times, and it is then taken to table. where it is made into short cylinders four or five inches ill thickness and containing from eight to ton pounds of material each.
 Four of these cylinders arc placed in | strong iron resort which has change able nozzle so that the size Of the pen eils may Do regulated. In the retort the material is subjected to great hydraulic pressure and is thus pushed through the nozzle i'll the shape of Q long cord. As the cord comes through the nozzle it passes over . knife and is cut into tho desired lengths. The lengths arc laid on boards to dry and are then placed on sheets Of corrugated zinc. the corrugation preventing the pencils from warping during the baking process. The baking is done i'll kiln into which superheat- cd steam is introduced through pipes.
 Tine pencils go from the kiln to the finishing and packing room. where the ends are held for m instant under 8 rapidly revolving emery wheel, which neatly points them.
 Finally they aFo packed in pasteboarti boxes, 100 pencils in each box, then 100 of the pa5teboard boxes are packed in a wooash boz, and they arc ready for TLlpment. Philadelphia Times.
