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 MS
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 Win
a passion quite incommensurate with
his pay and his prospects.
Not that this latter fact would mat

So far Kennedy had not dared to put
his affection to the test of declara-
ton. But he had been scrcwing his
courage up to that point for weeks
and-although he was far from being
a concelted fello--he had felt that
he was being encouraged by the pretty
daughter of The prosperous contractor
on Elm avenue.
II only she would come to the door
for the mail today! He would watch

the envelope addressed by Ryder. The
thought spurred him to activity. He

rapidly as possible. and went trudgins

The glare Of early summer lay hot

But Jim Kennedy could only think Of

things which had first attracted him

VALUABLE KANSAS INDUSTRY.
Honey Culture scientifically Promoted
Through Crops of Alfalfa.


Through Crops of Alfalfa.
A Lawrence. Kan, correspondent of
the Chicago journal says the introduce
tion of alfalfa has made Kansas richer
by millions of dollars. Put the
honey bee with alfalfa and Kan
sas will be richer by million
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 region where alfalfa is cultivated.
can keep bees NJ a small expense OF
capital and labor and 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 n
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 &C 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 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 ]. H.
Wing of Syracuse. Kas. or the six
sample submitted the alfalfa honey
was declared by n competent Judge to
be the one most nearly approaching

bees. the brown. or German bee, the
Italian. the Egyptian. the cyprlan.

liam and Tunislan. From the expert

Halo. old fellow" he cried, and
would have stopped Kennedy. but that
individual jerked free from the friend
ly hand laid on his arm. and strode on.
Ryder looked after him in dismay, but
the next instant he had caught sight
Of Nora. He sprang up the steps.
"There was no need to send that
last letter, but / was afraid they
would not let me Off. The old man was
very kind though, when l explained
the situation. Heavens. Nora, what's
the matter? You're white as ghost"
Nora's reply was distinctly feminine.
She sank down, and burst into tears.
BY the time he had succeeded In
wrestling from the girl the story of her
sorrow. he began to divine the reason
OF Jim Kennedy's sudden coolness to-
wards himself.
