Ryder looked after him IA dlsmay, but
the next instant he had caught sight

There was no need to send that

the situation. Heavens. Nora, what's

Nora's reply was distinctly feminine.
She sank down, and burst into tears.
BY the time he had succeeded Ia.
Wrestling from the girl the story OF her
sorrow, he began to divine the reason
Of Jim Kennedy's sudden GOODNESS to-

as soon as this little affair Is over
before we even leave town, III fix
that"
He was as good as his word. That
very evening he hunted up Jim Ken

his lodging house.
Look here, JIM" he said, things
have got into a snarl, and I'm here to
untwist them. 1 vas married this af-

to his feet as though stung. Mar

Yes, to Cicely Barstow, as nice a
girl as eve drew breath. We've been
as good as engaged for a year, but her
father objected to the wedding as she
has some money in her own right he

made his way to Elm street at a pace
which would undoubtedly have won
him first prize in a s~printing contest!

Honey Culture scientifically Promoted
Through Crops Of Alfalfa.

Honey Culture Scientifically Promoted
Through Crops Of Alfalfa.
A Lawrence, Kan, correspondent Of
the Chicago Journal says the introduce
ton Of alfalfa has made Kansas richer
by millions Of GLARS. Put the
honey bee with alfalfa and Kan
sas will be richer by millions
more. This is the opinion OF
Prof. s. j.. Hunter. president Of the
chronological department Of the Uni
versity of Kansas. Any farmer who
raises alfalfa, or any one who lives
in a region where alfalfa is cultivated,
can keep bees at a small expense of
capital and labor and a large profit.
The bee ought to travel with the al
falfa blossom, the professor says. The
two are an ideal combination. Under
Kansas conditions, alfalfa produces a
quality and flow Of honey unsurpassed
by any other plant. And the bee
makes ample return from the honey
gathered from the alfalfa blossoms by
insuring the formation of seed where
the blossom was. Experiments made
by the chronological department have
shown that the seed crop in alfalfa
upon which the bees work is Sc per
cent greater than the crop taken from
alfalfa which was dependent for poll
nation on other agents.
At the meeting Of the National Bee
keepers association at Omaha two
years ago a test was made to deter
mine the qualities Of honey made from.
the principal honey producing plants
of Kansas and Nebraska. Six samples
were tested-basswood ,knotweed, while
clover, sweet clover, melon bloom, and
a sample of alfalfa honey sent by J. H.
Wing of Syracuse, Kas. OF the six
sample submitted the alfalfa honey
was declared by a competent judge to
be the one most nearly approaching
the standard. There have been brought
into this country eight varieties of
bees. the brown, or German bee, the
Italian. the Egyptian, the Cyprlan,
the Syrian, the Palestine, the Carno-
liam and Tunisian. From the expert
ence Of Kansas keepers it would ap-
pear that out of these eight the two
varieties best suited to the state are
the Canadians and the Italians. The
Canadians are Austrian, are gentle,
long-lived and extremely hardy. They
are good comb-builders, make beauti-
full white-capped comb. and are good,
hard workers. The Italian bees were
introduced from italy by the United
States department of agriculture. They
are exceedingly gentle and will bear
handling. They are persistent work
ers, but need careful attention to
keep them from feeding their young
with the surplus stores Of honey.
Preparations are under way in various
localities in Kansas to promote honey
culture through the raising Of alfalfa
and the indications are that this in
dustry will prove a most valuable
source of wealth for the people Of the
state.

A Pair Of Postmen.
by KATE M. CLEARY.

DA IA II M OALAAIs
Copyright, 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
1t was a shock for Kennedy. He
had almost completed sorting out the
letters to be delivered along his beat
when he came on that one addressed
to Nora Dillon. He recognized the
chirography instantly. He had seen
II many times. The letter had been
written by Bertram Ryder. Ryder was
not only a fellow-postman, but ms
warmest and most intimate friend.
Why, he had not known that Ryder
was Eve acquainted with Nora-the
girl whom he had come to love with
a passion quite incommensurate with
his pay and his prospects.
Not that this latter fact would mat
ter If they really loved each other.
So far Kennedy had not dared to put
his affection to the test Of a declara-
ton. But he had been screwing his
courage up to that point for weeks,
and-although he was far from being
a conceited fello--he had felt that
he was being encouraged by the pretty
daughter Of the prosperous contractor
on Elm avenue.
If only she would come to the door
for the mail today! He would watch
her-would notice her acceptance Of
the envelope addressed by Ryder. The
thought spurred him to activity. He
FASTENED through with his work as
rapidly as possible. and went trudging
off on his afternoon delivery, his we'll
packed bag slung over his shoulder.
The glare of early summer lay hot
and yellow On the city streets. Crowds
Of well-dressed people were coming
and going. The laughter Of children
mingled with the silver dripping Of
a fountain in a little green square.
But Jim Kennedy could only think Of
n opening door, which framed a
straight, young, girlish form in a gay
little gown. That was one of the
things which had first attracted him
to Nora Dillon-the fact that her pref
~, bright garments, pink and hello
trope, and azure seemed somehow to
suit well her swift, sunny smile and
laughing blue eyes.
Kennedy's bag was considerably
lighter by the time he turned into
Elm street. His heart was beating
hard when he reached the comfortable
home of the billions. He rang the bell,
and stood waiting, the letter in his
hand. He could hear the light, famil-
lar step he had learned to know and
listen for coming along the hall with
In, and suddenly the door had swung
back, and she wss standing there, fair
