1t was 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
1t many times. The letter had been
written by Bertram Ryder. Ryder was
not only a fellow-postman, but his
warmest and most intimate friend.
Why, he had not known that Ryder
was even acquainted with Nora-the
girl whom he had come to love with
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 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
:hastened through with his work as
rapidly possible, and went trudging
on 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
0ne 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
ty, 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-

In 1905 Owen Brown forsook the east

army with provisions, the Brown fam

him postmaster.

The famous John Brown homestead
is to be saved from the hands of the
vandal and relic hunter. The birthplace
of the noted abolitionist will, if pres
emit plans carry, soon pass into the
hands of the John Brown association
This is an organization formed by
Dwight c. Kilbourn of. Litchfeld, an
ardent admirer of the man from
Ossawatomie. Sufficient funds will be
raised to purchase the prop
erty through the issuance of
stock of the association The
price asked is So, 500, which is consid-
cred goodly sum, in view OF the I'M
tenantable condition of the building.
About half dozen acres of stony
ground go with the dwelling.
Some time ago the Connecticut leg
islature was asked to appropriate the
necessary amount but it declined on
the ground that it had other uses for
the money 1t was urged that in few
years there would be nothing left of
the birthplace of the famous aboli-

even boards from the floor have been

BILLIARD CUES.
America Furnishes the Best Product In
Every Way.

America Furnishes the Best Product In
Every Way.
Most billiard cues" says a New
York manufacturer, ARE made in two
pieces, the cue proper and the handle
The cue Is generally made of maple
and the butt, which is wedge-shaped, is
inserted into handle of rosewood
snakewood, ebony, mahogany, walnut
or some other fancy dark wood, which
is cut to dovetail with the long part.
The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
in the shape of the handle in a lathe,
and, when the butt has been fitted, ii
is finished and polished.
THE finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means of a
double wedge. At the top of the cue is
a ferrule of ivory or horn, or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive.
of course, it is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workmanship
ON cues is put in on the butts, some OF
which are deliberately inlafd and
carved in beautiful patterns.
There are a number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another per-
son to- use their cues, and for the use
of these particular players cues are
turned out from which the tips may be
unscrewed, leaving the cut with unfin-
ished points and useless American
billiard cues are the hghtest, strong
est and neatest made anywhere in the
world. They are made in all weights
and lengths, and rank in price from
80 cents to SIS and more each, accord
ing to the quality and finish of the
article"
