block Of the town In quest of No. 5
on his list to find the object of his
visit absent for the holidays. He wac
somewhat weary from his useless
tramp, and as he passed the Office of
John Dallas, who dabbled in real es-
tate, he saw its tenant staring gloomily
out of the window. Now the thought
never occurred to Mr.. Briefly that
here might be a possible benefactor.
John Dallas was gray and grizzled. He
had changed good deal of late years,
and all his old-time cheeriness seemed
to have vanished after his children
had grown up and married and went
away. The clergyman had heard that
Dallas and his wife lived lonely and,
1t was said, rather unhappy life. Dali
las looked 1t as he greeted his chance
visitor.
"Just dropped In to rest for a min
ute or So" announced the latter. "How
are you getting along, Mr. Dallas?
"Poorly, poorly. sir" replied Dallas
dejectedly. He had left home that
morning wretchedly dissatisfied. In
sensibly since the youngest and last
of the family brood had chosen wife
and had settled in another section of
the country, ike himself, Mrs. Dallas
had changed greatly, and the holiday
season as 1t came around seemed al
most unbearable.
The two would sit evenings amid
a loneliness that really placed them
as far apart as If they were separated
by illumitable space.
John Dallas opened his soul to the
broad-minded, genial souled minister
who had looked to the spiritual well
fare Of his family for over a quarter
Of century. He had not one Hord Of
Company Manners.

To the Sporting Editor of The Bulle-
 tin:
 Just a few lines in your sporting columns What is the matter with the Norwich fans? Don't they appreciate q good ball club? The boys of the N F. Academy have a good club and the game they put up last Saturday I must say was one of the best I have seen in a good many years. l have attend ed all their Saturday games and was an interested fan from the first base line. The grounds arc not far from the center of the city and is a nice walk, and why the fans that like baseball don't attend the games I cannot un- derstand I am doing my share. It might interest some of the fans to know that the writer has been presi- dent of a league of 16 baseball clubs, all players about the same age as the Academy boys, and l must say the Academy club has good ball team, and the fans must remember that a club cannot win alll ::l3o tine and :iaass boys are not like the men, but the more there is there the harder they try to please them, so they will come again.
