along the rail half way between the other two balls.
 It, indeed, looked to be an impossible shot, but Arden, with unruffled confidence played masse whose like had never been seen on that or any other table. His ball, half way down the rail, continued it's journey in the same marvelously accurate fashion to the red ball, and counted, of course. The house fairly thundered it's ap- plause The result of the shot was to leave the three balls lined up along the center of the table. A second brilliant masse counted 297, and the remaining three shots were clicked off in rapid succession.
 As Arden made the last shot, which meant victory for him, he felt his eyes drawn irrestibly across the table to the tier of seats opposite. His gaze rested on pair of eyes shining with a radiancy he had never seen before. As he felt himself yielding to their power and stared toward them, strange thing happened. With a sudden click the wonderful ball, with which he had played and won, snapped asunder and parted into two pieces. As it fell apart, Arden saw an appearance like a delicate pink flame leave the ball, pass through lAe au lO"aiu tHc WoHuei1u LII eyes, tueH over the head of Shaman Tuloc's beautiful daughter and away.
 A minute later Arden was holding her by the hands and gazing at close range into those wondrous eyes. Tuloc hastened to the table and clasped the precious frag- ments of ivory to his breast.
 Later that night, as he stood beside the beautiful Esther in her fathers shop, Arden asked, "Why did the ivory ball snap and the pink soul flee away!"
 Because, my son, another love had come into your heart"-and then, as Shaman Tuloc looked on the young people, he raised his hands and said, solemnly, "Tha God of heaven bless you, my childrenv

other. In a weeks time you shall have a ball endowed with the living spirit of vic tory"
 That same evening Arden brought from the club the desired model and the next day Shaman Tuloc began his self-imposed task. As he wrought his labor of love, patiently, silently, with reverential skill, the slender, graceful form of his only daughter glided often through the parted curtains and hung over her fathers shoul- der with moist eyes and heaving bosom. More than once rosy blush suffused her modest cheek as she recalled the young strangers face and trembling voice. Then she murmured.a silent prayer for her fathers task and for the young mans victory.
 On the eighth day the ball was finished, and to the instructed eye seemed to throb visibly with sentient life, as it lay, white and glistening, in the sandal casket.
 "Take it, my son." said Shaman Tuloc, committing the box to him. Let no other hand than thine use this sacred ball. Let no other interest divide your heart. Then vic tory will attend"
 The report that Arden was to play his conqueror again filled the club house. An indefinable feeling was in the air that this game would possess unusual features-that it was a strife for mastery to an unusual degree.
 The two men presented a remarkable contrast as they stood in evening dress at the end of the table ready to begin. One was the picture of cold, nervy cunning and calculation; the other, the best type of a gentleman player, brave, generous, skilled, eager for the fray. It was like night matched against the day-the powers of darkness arrayed against the powers of Eight.
 To the surprise of his ferret eyed op-

parted over a narrow, contracted fore head. His black, beady eyes were set close together over long hooked ndse, and his thin lips were shaded by scanty black mustache. They say that those ratty, weasel-like eyes could look into the shining depths of any jewel and rightly prize its worth. Enough for me that he could play billiards like a fiend. His long slender hands controlled the balls like magician. He defeated me once, twice, thrice leach time worse than before-in word, ig- nominiously. Let me vanquish him! Help me to defeat himv' cried Arden, moved to the depths of his being, land I will give you what you like.''
 Shaman Tuloc smoked while in silence. then rose from his seat and drew small casket from a secret recess in the rear of the shop. The box was of fragrant sandal-wood, wrapped with cords and sealed in many places. Carefully removing these, he disclosed a small bundle of numerous layers of fine silk, concealing some object within. Very reverently the old man un- wrapped the silken folds until there lay uncovered in his palm small cylinder of ivory OA WOHuEOuS Qudiity, anu ~lsHouV SPOt or blemish.

 ''To the pure and single of heart," he read in low voice, II will grant his wish."
 T will give any price, fulfill any condi- tions," exclaimed Arden in choking voice, his whole form trembling.

ponent, Arden, playing with the sacred ball, won the bank. The balls were spotted and the game began. The style of play was 14-inch balk line, easy play. Arden rolled off run after run. His ball was ab- solutely under control and the audience was with him to a man, following his game with frequent applause. But, do what he would, Arden could not shake off his op- ponent. He answered run with run and in- variably finished point or two in the lead
 Arden, however, never lost confidence for a moment in his ball or the outcome of the game. As the players approached the goal, the 300 mark, almost abreast, but the dark man still in the lead, the excitement grew intense. With only eight to go, the latter ran six and missed on his 290th shoe. hateful scowl showed on his face, but changed instantly to a triumphant smile, as he saw that Arden, who stood at 295, was left an impossible shot.
 Arden's ball lay right against the cush- ions in one corner, the red ball in the same position in the far corner on the same side, and his opponents ball against the cushion

"It is not merchandise the gentleman seeks today" said Shaman with kindly interest, continuing to search the others face with his far-seeing orbs.
 Are you fortune teller?" asked the stranger eagerly.
 "Not in the ordinary sense, my son. answered the aged merchant solemnly, "but much of the wisdom of the east is mine, and have known the hearts of many men,"
 "If you help me-" burst impulsively from the others lips, "you may name your own price,"
 'I am listening, my son." responded Shaman with dignity, apparently unmoved by these glittering promises.
 My name is Philip Arden," began the young man in quick, excited tones, land I am what people call rich. If my lot had been different, with my own way to make ! should doubtless have bec ne 2 gambler, as the gaming instinct is strong within me.

 ''You shall see," answered Arden, meet Ing his glance fairly. Being wealthy, the gamblers love of gain does not appeal to me.

1he.Maqic Billiard Ball

N THE lull of an August afternoon
 Shaman Tulco sat within the shaded doorway of his little shop, contemplatively smoking. From time to time thin brown hand slowly stroked his long gray beard, while his dark, melancholy eyes looked far away into the distance.
 Presently shadow darkened the door way, as a well-dressed stranger halted un- certainly and gazed curiously within. The old merchant rose courteously and with a wave of his hand extended silent invita- tion to enter. Seeing that the stranger still hesitated, Shaman said in tone de- void of eagerness "Would the gentleman care to step in? It is not necessary to buy"
 An air of distinction in the old mans bearing, scarcely expected in such sur roundings, excited the strangers interest, and with an appreciative, "Thank you, if you don't mind," he entered.
 The merchant noted the young mans eyes as they swept over his wares with half-observant gaze, and saw that his face wore the unsatisfied expression of one who seeks something greatly desired.

 'Your hand lost its cunning?" sug- gested Shaman Tuloc.
 ''No, not so. A more subtle hand than mine entered the ists," explained Arden with . touch of bitterness in his tone "While my laurels were yet fresh, straner joined the club, a tall, slender man, with sallow skin and coal-black hair, which

Of THE FARMERS
GREAT LOANS TO THE SOIL
1ILLERS URGED BY THE
FARM BLOC.

Washington, d. C.-Loans OF from
s400, 100000 to $500, 600 600 should be
furnished by the war finance corpora
ton this year to assist in financing
agriculture, according to Senator
Capper, republican, Kansas, head Of
the senate farm bloc, who, with other
members Of the senate and house,
held conferences with Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace and with mem
bers Of the farm loan board. The
group of agricultural members, who
are taking steps to see that aSricul-
ture gets sufficient credit while the
machinery established under the new
law is being put into operation, will
confer with directors Of the war
finance corporation on Monday.
The farm situation is more acute
than last year because the co-opera-
tive associations are carrying a heav-
Ter burden Of debt than a year ago"
said Senator Capper. I'VE think the
war finance corporation should make
all the good loans it can through the
cooperative associations. Most Of the
loans made last year have been pad
off, but they were paid off at the end
OF the crop season and when the
cattle we're marketed. The demand
will start anew in two weeks. 1t is
my belief that between $500, 900, 900
and $500, 600, 900 should be loaned this
season"
Those who accompanied Senator
Capper included Senators Gooding,
republican, Idaho, and Sheppard, DEM
ocrat, Texas, and Representatives
Haugen, republican, Iowa; Davis, re-
publican, Minnesota; Sinclair, re-
publican, North Dakota, and Huddles-
ton, democrat, Alabama.
In the conference with Secretary
Wallace the members Of congress en-
phasized the Importance of furnish
ing the farmers cooperative asso-
Citations information as to what can
be expected in the form of assistance
in financing the marketing and pro-
duction Of their crops this year.
Secretary Wallace informed them
hat he is preparing a statement deal
ing with the relationship OF the CO.
operatives to the farm credit system
and that he Will show how they can
take advantage of the new scheme Of
credit.
Following the conference with Sec
rotary Wallace the delegation visited
the farm loan board, where a con-
ference with the presidents Of the u
federal land banks was in progress.
Charles f.. Lobdell, head Of the farm
loan board, informed the senator's and
representatives that the new interme.
date credit banks will be organized
without delay, and that everything
possible is being done so that the
farmers of the country will get the
full benefit of the legislation.
