too, who probably did not know him.
But 1t made no difference 70 Schaefer.
Sometimes strangers would desire to
play for money, but this Gchaefer
would never do. TO all such propo-

saThe crowd smiled as the players
prepared for the contest. The balls
were placed on the table, and Schaefer
brought out his favorite cue, and Il
/ fell to his lot to open the game.
"The opening shot In billiard game
is a somewhat difficult one, as most

the shot. He then gazed at the balls a

had agreed to make the game as long

the city. He had for months been
working, not only days, but nights, and
when at last 1t became expedIent for
him to knock Off he was presented with
a handsome check by his employers
and a considerable raise OF salary.
These blessings led up to another pos
slble happiness. When Littlefield went
to the city he had left at home a school
friend or love; he did not at the time
exactly know which, but had since
learned that the latter word better ex-
pressed his feelings. He had been far
seeing for a boy OF eighteen and had
contented himself with enjoying Louise
Phillips companionship without max
ing complication between them. He
was going to another field to make
his way as best he could without in
