games which accounts largely for the fact that foot
ball of various assorments has been played than any

Woman Seeks
Admission to
Billiard Ass n
Miss Clara c. Haywood Files
Application-Meeting to Be
Held Tomorrow

George T. Moon, IT, president Of the
National Association of Amateur Bill
lard Players, yesterday received an ap-
plication for membership from Miss
Clara Catherine Haywood, the girl
player of Philadelphia. She is deslrous
of entering one Of the national cham
pionship tournaments. Her letter fol-
lows:
Enclosed please find my application
for membership in the National Asso-
citation Of Amateur Billiard Players.
IN view Of the fact that at some future
date ! may wish to submit my entry
for one of the national tournaments, 1t
seemed appropriate to me that | first
join the organization. II there Is any
rule which would be interpreted as ex-
Guiding women from membership, may
! ask you the kind Favor OF reading this
note at the annual meeting Of the as
ISOLATION?
I'm that event, will you also please
request d vote, unanimous If necessary,
that would enable me TO become a
member of your organization. which in
cludes so many Of nv good friends?"
1t was pointed out by Moon that the
constitution and bylaws of the National
Association were so worded as 20 make
il impossible to elect Miss Haywood as
a regular member. He was of the opin-
ion, however, that she might properly
be elected TO honorary membership,
with privileges of competing in the
championships.
Miss Haywood is sincere and enthu-
sisstc as to entering one Of the ma
tional tournaments. IL the matter can
be arranged, it is probable that she
may take part in the Class b 1872 balk-
line championship when it is decided
after the first Of the year.
The annual meeting of the National
Association of Amateur Billiard Play
ers will be held tomorrow evening at
the LiederkranZ Club. Several i'm
portant amendments will be acted upon
at this meeting. The plan outlined at
the recent session has been arranged
by the executive committee, so that sec
tional associations will be organized in
eleven divisions Of the country and an
additional one TO direct amateur bill
iards in the Dominion of Canada.
1t is likely that the place of holding
the national championship tournaments
in Glasses A, Is and c at 1872 balkline
will be determined at the annual meet
ing The question Of permitting prac-
tice shots has also been agitated again,
and il appears likely that it will be
incorporated in the rules.
The following nominations have been
made for officers Of the association and
the executive committee:
President. George Z. Moon, jr.; vice
president, Corwin Huston; secretary,
j. p. Allen, and treasurer, G. O. Ru-

A strange numbness came over me
when Brewster Norton ceased speak

eyes, but l could not look at him.
Instead, I walked away from him
and stood, with my back to him,
gazing out into the West. The sun,
casting horizontal rays across the
fields and woods, made crimson spots
before my eyes. But suddenly my
thoughts became clear.
l remembered what this man had
done for me, what he had been to
me. l recalled his kindness. his
unfailing gentleness. / remembered
how desolate 1 had been when
came into his employ. I remember
ed the dangers that had lain all
about me-a young, orphaned and
homeless girl in a great city like
New York.
1 had had nobody to whom to turn
when my father died, nobody to love.
Then this man had opened the doors
of his home to me, as he might
have opened them to his own young
sister. How nervous I had been

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
Is very injurious. as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use it just plain
mulsified cocoanut OIL. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pCnsive soaps or anything else all
10 pieces. You can set this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
ard rub it in, about a teasoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

"One dinner, lodging and breakfast
of us was about all you could stand,

What made you think so?"
She had seated herself in the chair
reserved for inquiring investors.
There was a little interval of glove
smoothing silence, and then, like a
flash out of a clear sky, she smiled
across the desk end at him and said:
will you forgive me if / ask you

Certainly. Other people ask them
every day."
Isis your name really and truly
John Smith?'
why should you doubt it?"
1t was just here that Smith was
given to see another one of Miss Co
rona's many moods-or tenses-and
it was new one to him. She was
visibly embarrassed.
II don't want to tell you," she
stammered.
'All right; you needn't"
IF you're going to take it that
easy, l will tell you," she retorted.
Mr.. Williams thought your name
was an alias; and I'm not sure that
he doesn't still think so.''

CHAPTER XI.
The Narrow World.

At the fresh newspaper reminder
that his sudden bound upward from
the laboring ranks to the executive
headship of the irrigation project
had merely made him a more con-
spicuous target for the Hunters
Smith scanted himself of sleep and
redoubled his efforts to put the new
company on sound and permanent
footing. In the nature of things he
felt that his own shift must neces-
sarily be short. The more or less
dramatic coup in Timanyoni High
Line had advertised him thoroughly.
lie was rapidly coming to be the
best-known man in Brewster, and he
cherished no illusions about lost
identities, or the ability to lose them
in the land where time and space
have been wired and railroaded
pretty well out of existence.
1t was needful that he should work
while the day was his in which to
work; and he did. work. There was
still much to be done. williams was
having a threat of labor troubles at
the dam, and Stillings had unearthed
another possible flaw in the land
titles dating back to the promotion
of a certain railroad which had never
gotten far beyond the paper stage
and the acquiring of some of it's
rights of way
Smith flung himself masterfully at
the new difficulties as they arose, and
earned his need of praise from the
men for whom he overcame them.
But under the surface current of the
hurrying business tide q bitter un-
dertow was beginning to set in. He
took his first decided backward step
on the night when he went into a
hardware store and brought pistol.
The free, fair-fighting spirit which
had sent him barehanded against the
three claim jumpers was gone and in
its place there was a full determine
ton, underlined as yet, but keying
itself to the barbaric pitch.
1t had been a day of nagging dis
fractions. A rumor had been sent
afoot-by Station. as Smith made no
doubt-hinting that the new dam
would be unsafe when it should be
completed; that its breaking, with
the reservoir behind it, would carry
death and destruction to the low
lands and even to the city. Timid
stockholders, seeing colossal dam
agesuits in the bare possibility, had
taken the larm, and Smith had spent
the greater part of the day in trying
to calm their fears. For this cause,
ragged edge when Baldwin dropped
in on his way home from the dam
and protested.
Look here, John; you're overdo-
ing this thing world without end!
You break it off short, rightnow and
go home with me and get your din
ner and a good nights rest. Get
your coat andhat and come along,
or I'll rope you domn and hog-tie
you"
For once in a way, Smith found
that there was no fight left in him,
and he yielded, telling himself that
another acceptance of the Baldwin
hospitality, more or less, could make
no difference. But no sooner was the
colonels gray roadster headed for
the bridge across the Timanyoni than
the exhilarating reaction set in. In q
twinkling the business cares. and the
deeper worries as well, fed away,
and in their place heart-hunger was
loosed.
