A. B. Kingsland OF Burlington is
in receipt of a letter intended for A.
B. Kingsland of Rome, Italy, and
thereby hangs an interesting tale.
The letter, in an envelope bearing
much writing on the face and many
postmarks on the back, reached Mr.
Kingsland a few days ago. 1t was
written in Palermo, Italy, March 8.
contained a check for 600 lire and
was addressed to A. 3. Kingsland at
Rome. The Roman Mr.. Kingsland
had evidently left the eternal city
for the United States and had left
directions to have his mail forward
ed to Burlington, n. J. The envelope
shows his wishes were compiled
with but the Burlington, n. j., post
master found no such man in his
town and it is surmised he turned
to the directories of other Burling-
tons in the county until he found
an A. B. Kingsland in Burlington,
VT He communicated with Mr..
Kingsland and sent him the letter.
Mr.. Kingsland recognized something
that looked like a check but his
knowledge of the Italian language
had become so rusty from disuse
that he was a little uncertain what
his correspondent had to say about
the check He accordingly sent the
letter to the translation department
of the American Exporter in New
York and learned that the letter read
as follows:

Lieut.. OF the Florence Lancers.
Rome, Italy.

o'clock. I enclose check No. 1858.

dorsed in your favor amount 500 lire
for the monthly payment from March
to April 1909. l hope that in Amer
lea you will have success and a good
time.
Yours very truly,
v. CASCIO.
Mr.. Kingsland had written Signor
Cascio hat he does not feel at lib
erty to cash the check and would
