monition was gone in moment; in his
ecstatic state he did not notice 1t. He
left her, his head erect, shoulders
thrown back, a spring in his step. a
song on his lips.
He passed out into the night and it,
shadows seemed to fall upon his soul
the dark planet claimed its victim.
He entered upon the bridge. A chill
air swept up from the river. The
song on his lips died in an involuntary
chatter. The desolate star was again
ascendent and his spirit fell under its
influence like mercury at the touch OF
cold. He sat on the parapet and
looked out over the river with the
myriad stars, the vestiges OF fieecy
clouds, the serene moon mirrored on
its bosom. Then his gaze came back
to the immediate scene at the foot OF
the bridge. The river, under the
shadow cast by the bridge, was q
thing of gloom and mystery, unfathom-
able to the eye, rejecting no light, the
type of doubt, despair and the mental
night that had again taken possession
Of his soul.
AS he sat meditating, the damp at.
mosphere caused neuralgia pains to
shoot through his head. Gloomy
phantoms Of despair took hold Of his
mind. He was no longer the light
hearted prospective bridegroom. but a
thing of the gloom that was calling 30

force that was mastering his viii. A

then. with n mighty effort, drew him.
self back. The blackness OF night was
In his soul. He leaned forward again:
the attraction Of the fearful thing was
irresistible.
He uttered a weak despairing cry
as he felt his will giving way. The
parapet seemed to slip from beneath
him. A heavy plunge was followed
by the moaning OF the waters under
the arches OF the bridge. then all was
silent.
A heavy stone had become loosened
by Jones' weight and had fallen into
the water. Only by frantic effort did
he preserve himself from being car
ried with It.
Jones tremblingly made his way
across the bridge. He took the center
OF the wagon road; he could not trust
himself on the footpath with It's view
Of the couchant river beneath. His
knees smote together and his teeth
chartered as he thought Of the slight
accident by which he had gained mas
terry over his morbid trait and had
been saved from the sin Of self-de-
struction.
The premonition received by Lucia
had not been verified.
The bright star had prevailed.

BOWLING BALLS.
The Process of Making Them Necessi-
tates Slow Work.

tates Slow Work.
A bowling ball looks as If it Were
| easy to make. yet its manufacture in
wolves long process covering period
of three days. The actual time put upon
1t is only o matter of three hours, but
the work Is slow and requires long
waits between each step toward compile
ton. A log free from knots and cracks
is first cut into pieces a trifie larger
than the diameter of the ball after 1t IS
finished. This allows for two little
projections on either side called "bits, -
where the clamps Of the lathe hold tle
block of wood while revolving at light
ming speed under the keen edged too,
cutting into the hard fiber like a sharp
knife slicing a fresh cheese
This preliminary turning and trim
ming occupy only few minutes
when the block is shaved and pared
down to the required size The bits
then are cut off and the whole thing
sandpapered. A coat of sheIiac is ap-
piled. and the ball is put one side to
dry. 1t then gets another sandpaper-
ing. This is no sooner done than the
workman again carefully applies the
shellac brush. When the shellac dries
the second time. the surface is rubbed
with oil. The work doesn't stop then.
for the moment the oil has dried the
ball gets another vigorous sandpaDer
ing. Then for the last time it gets
more shellac When thoroughly dry.
the sphere is ready for the two holes
to be cut for the BOWERS thumb and
index finger. The last stage of the labo-
rious process is the polishing. which
gives the ball the appearance it has
when it reposes on the rack waiting to
be sent crashing down the alley.
Sometimes there is a considerable
waste in cutting up the logs because of
cracks and assures in the wood. On
this account an ordinary sized log may
yield only one block sound enough to
put on the turning lathe. while it ought
to make six or seven. The life of the
average bowling ball is about two
years. The best balls cost SIS or Sc,
while the cheapest scale down near the
dollar mark.

This is broad ground. 1t should be
a forciblo reminder to antt-reigious
bieots here that in waging political
battle on the issue of opposition to
any candidate because OF his religious
affiliations, they are doing that which
Is the most I'M American thing known

Of this government.
The inevitable result Of inquirlng in

voting for him would. In the opinion
of the President, amount to an
abandonment of our real freedom Of
conscience Flo even thinks it would
be "a revcrsion to the dreadful con-

in@so many lands have proved fatal to

similar force in another paragraph:

THE BuBoNIc PLAGUE.

an article on Danger from Plague" by
G. P, Connolly The burden of 1t Is
that our country is seriously menaced
4 by the spread OF the so-calied bubonic
plague, and that the situation calls
for an earnest effort against that
scourge.
The plague is the name given to q
disease that in its severe form has
carried away millions of human be-
ings. 1t was first heard from as raw
aging Northern Africa, In the Sixth
century of our era 1t passed from
Egypt to Constantinople where 10000
persons were carried away in one day

the 10th century. Thousands were

NEW KIND OF sEcTIoNALIsM
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The forthcoming conference OF New
England governors-or more properly
of New England states, since others
than the governors viii participate in
twill generally and with good reason
be regarded as an oungrowth OF the
great national congress of governors
which was assembled at Washington by
the president earlier In tho year As
such ii Will be commemorate, and we
may hope for Its periodical or OCCASION
al repetition not only In New England
but in other parts of the country, as
well as also repetitions of the national
gathering At Washington The useful
ness of such meetings is beyond dis
pute. This gathering may, however,
also be regarded as a new and well
come development of a sort OF section
alism or of community of interests
within q group of states. Sectionalism
has generally been a hateful word in our
political vocabulary, but that mas been
because of a certain perversion of its
meaning, or of the thing for which
1t stands. Sectionalism which arrays
one group OF states against another
or against the rest OF the nation is in
deed detestahla. IT Is q sectionaIis.n OF
selfishness and OF hatred A sections
alism which would unite a homogen-
Gus group of states In cooperation and
common effort for their common bet
terment and thus for the bctterment
