The Spoiled Pie Dish.
Many'years ago, before these days
when everybody talks about decora
tive art, and in each large family is
to be found at least one young lady
who paints on silk and china, a young
artist was born in a country- house
many miles from any city:
How he came to be born an artist
was a mystery to his family.
From; the summer in which the
Barberrys took a young artist to
board with them, who, when be went
away, presented his paint-box to the
admiring boy who bad followed him
about from dawn until dark, peace
fled the Barberry mansion'. Fences,
barn-doors, halls -- heaven only
knows What—bore traces of figures,
flowers, trees, cue s , and buildings in
all the colors of the rainbow. —When
scolded, Barberry junior only replied :
'WO, then, give me canvases and
thingk I want to be 'a painter.' ;
But the Barberrys did not intend
to encourage madness.
'What kind of a business does thee
think painting would be for a •max P
asked Quaker Grandmother Barber
ry. 'To sit twiddling thy lingers all
day at an easel. It the.t want to be
a farmer we'll prenticePthee to thy
Uncle Charles, the hatter. _ That's
light and easy, and thee is delicate.'
So the Barberrys, taking counsel
together, decided that •grindmother
had, had a 'call to speak,' and placed
Dudley with the hatter.
Be worked patently enough, but
painted more than ever in the eve
ningsi for Uncle Charles was liberal,
ancl:.he had a little money of his own
in' those days. On Christmai he
came home, andiwas'received kindly,
and found his little cousin Clara in
th'e house—an orphan in a black
frock, whose parents had been lost at
sea: The child liked the boy very
much, and he painted her old doll's
face into new beauty for her, and
put a - red flower on. the back of the
doll's chair. .
She admired- his work very much
as he had admired that of the 'artist
who ha, given - him his !first colors.
Ile was a hero to heron!) a genius,
as- well as - the -kindest boy living.
'Wandering around the house one
day, hejound a great pottery pie
dish, one of a - dozen bOught 9f a ped
dler for Old Christmas pies, and for
getting. its_ purpose, spent a whole
bright morning painting upon it .a
splashing but spirited likeness of his
mother's - favorite Lady Washington
geranium, which stood' in a pot on a
stand.
It was a wonderful success in the
eyes of little Clara ; and, indeed; it
was not bad, for . a little prifctice goes
a -good ways-with a born artist, and
a winter Of - study without a master
had - greatly improved the young fel
low's work.
Adoration was - in Clara's eyes as
she looked at the dish and at Dud
ley. -
'You're a great, great artist, Dud
ley,' said-she. think you will .be
famous some day.. Pie . read the
"Lives of Famous Painters." The
big brown book in the case -in the.
parlor—and.kings and queens thought
kits of them and made them paint
their portraits. You remember what
I wry when you are grown up, Dud
ley.'*
She was thirteen, Dudley was six
teen. He lifted up his head from his
work and looked at her.
'lf ever I am, Clara,' he said, 'I
hope I. shan't have , to remember you.
I never knew anybody .before who
understood me. They think me so
queer to like to paint. You know all
about it, sissy.'
'Yes,' said Clara, understand,
and I hope we'll alw,ays be just like
brother and sister—Only you know
I might die like pa and ma.'
'Don't cry,' said Dudley, 'and don't
talk
,abOut dying, my good little pet
cousin; ' Whatever comes-- 1
'But he said- no more. - A voice
sharp an] shrill with anger broke in
upon the pleasant talk—Aunt Mar
tha's voice :
'Land of liberty I Jerusha, come
here 1 Dudley has spoiled the big
gest pie dish l'
--iut afternoon Farmer Barberry
Whipped Dudley. That evening the
boy dig not come to supper. Later
on, when the moon had risen, little
Cbira, who had gone to her own room ,
to cry, beard a tapping at the win
dow. She opened it and looked out.
Dudley stood there. ,
'Clara,' ,he said, 'tell me, do you
think it was right that I shoiiid be
whipped at my age?'

(~‘
'Right?' robbed Clara. 'Oh, it was
wicked! wicked! wicked!'
'Z'o one shall ever do it again,'
said Dudley. - /Clar3, I am going to
be
. a great artist. It's in meyl know,
and:—and don't forget me, Clara.
I'll come back _ ; and oh„Clara, Ican
not bear leaving you. -
Leaning' over the sill the child
put her innocent arms about the
boy's .neck.
'Don% -go - away,' she said;, 'it
would break my heart.' ,
And then he kissed her and ran
away.
There waj sorrow in the house on
Christmas *ming, and the pie went

he had left a little note in which he
declared his intention of returning
no more.'

with its „geranium's. And she sat
down on the floor and cried over. it,
and remembered the innocent child.
love:she had given the painter, and
then wiping her 'eyes, carried the
dish,' down stairs and put it into her
trunk. - It was still the ; pie dish.L.
nothing more, except a souvenir of
the past.
'lf he is not dead, he must have
forgotten me,' she said to herself.
'He is twenty-six years old now if he
lives.'.
Andithough she highly respected
the Rev. Joel Bird, she sighed once
or twice even on her- weddifig eve.
Settled ' in Boston, she
_was very
happy. She 'liked the style or the
people she met; • their culture,_their,
bookishness. -She 'saw the: shining ,
lights of the literary world and she
wrote a . piece. of poetry which was
publlsbed.
One day somebody saw 'the pie
dish—the spoiled pie dish of the.
Barberry family. It -was - an artistic
lady who had gone to_ take her bat
off in the spare room of .the parson- .
age. . - - •
. 'What aloVely plaque!' she cried:
'But why don't you have it glazed
It will be spoile4.'.
The pie dish, promoted to pltique.
hood, was glazed nest week. It ha
a brass hOok faitened to it, and' was
hung on the parlor wall,, and on its
back was painted the name 'Of the .
boy who, from the Barberry point of
view, bad spoiled it... • • .
The Rev, Joel Bird
~ died young.
He - was good to. his wife while he
lived, and she mourned him ; but
there had been no. romance in s their
courtship; and they had rever
congenial.
• - The widois recovered .her placidity
soon, and lived contentedly on'• her
sm i all income, amidst-a circle of 'at- •
tached _friends. The last survivor of
the Barberry family—Dudley's moth
ervarae to live with 40, and . Mrs.
Bird had pulled two gray hairs out
of her Emily black hair, when 'the
great fair Of SL Susan's church took
place, and a committee called to beg
her -to contribute something. The,
pie-dish no longer hung on the wall;
a glimpse ofit< had thrown - Mrs. Bar
berry into gentle hysterics. It. was
therefore locked away, and a.thought
came into Mrs. I3arberry's head.
'I 'have a plaque, '
she Said. 'lt was
painted long-ago .by somebody; who
must . have become. a very. great artist
'if he- lived, I think. I'll give
_the
plaque .as well as my.- little <bit of
'ooney. I do not want to do it. I
'would like to skeep .it, but it Is' a
shame to hide it away. The more
see of
and
the better I know it is
good, and there are associations with
it that make it painful to aunt to see
it.'
'lle committee expressed their
thanks and r the 'spoiled. pie dish'
Went to the fair, where it was greatly
admired.
Now Dudley Barberry had hot
starved, to death on the road, as" his
grandpiother always believed.- • He
had sold his watch, had lived until
be -found his old friend, the . - artist,
had become his pupil and had_ gone
to Europe with him.
While unknown-to the people ,of
his little town,. he had made a name
in - the great world of art. He had
made a moderate fortune also ' • and
one day he went back to his home,
'expecting to find-all the Barberrys
there—a -little older, of course—and .
to. become the pride of the filthily. -
Instead,- he found the - hoqse occu
pied by strangers - and was told that
his parents - were dead. His .inform
ant *as
. a stranger, who did not know
who he was, and who thought - - she
spoke the truth, and he did. not stop
to ask questions of those who 'could
have told bin] the truth.
The woman had also told him that
Clara was mirried, and be left the
town that night, feeling at ones
ty and ill-used. lie made' his way to'
Boston soon after, and'' was taken" ,
rather against his will to.the ladies'
fair' at St. 1 'Susan's church, where
pretty girls Besought him to buy pin
cushions at prices that-Would -have
horrified even- a Californian, and
where he had a Veri-unlucky hour's
fishing at a dollar a dip in a
pond, into which all the rubbish bad
been thrown; and where, amongst his
prizes, were a topsy doll with .one
arm, ow:ran-original-poem by an. un
known lady. -
At last, roaming about amongst
the stalls" in the bewildered manner
peculiar to single gentlemen at fairs;
he saw a pretty figure, and a pretty,
face framed in a widow's:cap, stand
ing at a table, - ;and Over her head,
suspended against a dark drapery,

stopped and gazed at it. The lady
turned toward him.
'Shull I have the plaque taken
down Would you like to look at
it closer?'
'Thank you,' be answered, looking
at her oddly. can see it very well,
and I sboul&like to buy it, though
it, interests me ratheelts an old ac
quaintance than ah a work of art. ,I
once spoiled a pie dish in something
like that style.. c It must be imagina
tion, I suppose, but I could swear
that that mas the dish itself.'
Then 'he paused,. for _the widow
clasped her hands, looked at him
with her byes full of tears'and an
swered :
'Oh, Dudley; it attic .dish I How
could you use your poor old mother,
and all of us, so badly? And what
4 great beard you have grown!'
The 'plaque! went home.under the
arm of its purchaser; on the other
rested Mrs. Bird's, little ,hand. Of

long confinement in a vitiated and
overheated atmosphere v and its pro

GOING TO MAKE SHORT WORK OF
Him.--L-Major Sanger, who is known
in military slang as,a "bantam," was
returning one day recently from Bis
marck to Fort Lincoln, which la
across the rivet, and the ambulance
in which he was riding was delayed
by a team and wagon driven by otie
of the class known as,mule•whaclers
in this country.. The driver of the
ambulance and the mule-whacker got
into a wordy altercation, and Major
Sanger got very indignant at what
he believed to be impertinent lan
guage and unwarranted interference
in his journey. He jumped from the
ambulance, a Tom Thumb in size but
a Goliah in fury, and exclaimed :
"Get that wagon out of the Way."
The mule-whacker looked at him
quizzically and asked
"Who the devil are you ?" • .
"I am Major Sanger, of the army,

out of the way." ..
The mule-whacker ejected a mouth - -
ful of tobacco • into the road and re
marked :
"Do you know, what I'll o with
you, Major Sanger of the army, sir,

"Chat' will-you do ?" inquired the
Major, looking as.large and fierce as

DON'T WANT NM TAUGHT GRAMMAR.
Mr. R. J. Burdette thus writes td
the Burlington Hawkeye: Well, time
die 4, the saMmer is almost over, the
mackerel hive come up the bay and
are biting like poison, the ferns are
groling old, and the boy is learning
to talk so that other people can un
derstand him.
"If you would lei me have him
about one month," said the pleas
ant-voiced and pleasant faced social
mistress who came down here from
up-river last week, "I could break
him of that careless habit of speak
ing.”
Just because the boy had asked
his stern dark-browed father :
" Poppula, whurs tne - mines. Minn
pole you peaking mama day ?"
Which by interpretationis, us the
pleasant-voiced school mistress would
have taught him to say it :
" Pappa, where is my _ fishing rod
of 'which yo.i were speaking to my
mother, with reference to purchasing
for me at some time in the indefinite
future?" •
And her little serve highness shook
her head and said no; he was losing
his baby talk, and learned to speak
English too rapidly as it was. The
pleasant face of the school mistress
wrinkled up into an interrogation
point.
" School mistress," the Jester said,
"on all matters of education your
shapely head is not hilly; it is as le
vel as a new-mown lawn. But you
don't want to teach the baby gram
mar, and you don't want him to
speak good English. Youiwant him
to be a baby and you want to en
courage him to indulge in. baby talk.
In the years to come, when the , pud
gy little fists will dig great tears out
of the blue eyes, because the. boy
cant remember in just what points
there should and must be exact har
mony between the verb and the sub
ject ; when he is confident that he

that all terminations in Something

.it after some kind of things when he
is so trusting and has so much c.onfl
deuce in Mr. Davies that he is not
only willing but anxious to accept
his statement that the sum of three
angles of a triangle is equal to two
triangles, without going to the board
to prove this truthfulness by demon
stration ; along in thoie days the
memory of his baby talk will come
back to us like sweet music. He will
have trouble enough with the Eng
lish lancr t? uage and all the appurtenan
ces thereunto appertaining by-analy
by.". "No," herfespoaded in answer
to a silent inquiry of the pleasant-,
faced school mistress, "he .does not
know his alphabet, thank Heaven,
and heshall not be bothered with it:
Yes, he has alphabet blocks and
knows all the pictures on them and
many preposterouS stories about the
pictures. Oh, yes, he can count,
hear him now counting the pebbles
he has brought from the beach ; one,

I lan one of the men who don't
dream and don't fancy.
When I see a thing I see it. When
I hear a thing I hear it. Arid what
I saw on one 'particular occasion I
mean to tell you.
You wilk not offend me if you
doubt it.
Nevertheless, I shall ,
as I said, tell
the story'. - -
It was in the year, 18—, and the'
month was May, and ,, the place was
England. I had left London five
days before, and now I was miles
and miles away from- it, in the very
heart of the country, traveling to
ward a little town where I bad tipsi
ness. It was an old-fashioned inn,
and the people were kind and oblig
ing.
Travelers did not often stop at
that inn, I suspect, fOr they were as
particular about my melds as though
I had been a prodigal : son come home
for the holidays.
- They killed -the 'fatted - chicken for
me and made much of me altogether;
and to crown all, as the train did not
'stop in time to take me on, as I
wanted to go,.and as it was only a
matter of five miles or so,. what - did
•the landlord _ do but hunt .up a rusty
Old.coach 'that was tucked away in the
coach-house, and . ordered - his man to
drive me over that evening. It Wasn't
an extra _mind you.. It was sheer .
good will. So' I shook . hands -all
around, and . reinembered
.the cham
bermaid and the waiter with half "a
crown each; and off I rode. It - was
getting dark fast, and the road
wound away among . . the hills in- a
.very romantic sort of a way; why, it
made you think of ghosts, if you
were a commercial traveler.
" Here's the place," says I to my
self, "Where the old gentleman -of
the road would liked to have met me
and my black -bag fifty-years Boo."
A hundred years ago, anyaw,. I
would not have felt so safe as 1 do
now.
Just then the coach came to a sud
den pause. •
" Hallo," cried I-out of the win
dow ; "what's the matter ?"
"It's more than I can: tell, sir,"
said the man. " Black' Jane has
turned sulky; ..she won't 'move a'
With that he began to shout and
crack his whip, I, with my head out
of the window, watching him, when
suddenly the beast started off, like
mad, and I drew in'my face and saw
.I had company.
While the coach - was at a stand
still a lady and gentleman had slip
ped in.
The - sat on the seat opposite •me,
and though it was an intrusion I had
not the heart to: find fault, for a pret-
tier pair never an* in my life.
If he was' twenty-one years, it was
just as much as he could bp, and she
was not seventeen. • -
I have seen a pair oT china" lovers
an the mantel-piece the perfect im
age of what they were, as pretty, and
dressed much the'same.
. His hair was _powdered, and hers,
li.' She had on a yellow silk, Low
e n the neck than I would like a
ughter of mine to wear it, and her
arms would have been bare only for
her long kid gloves. She had pearls
in her ears and on her throat, and
she had just the most innocent little
face my two eyed ever 'rested upon.
As for the boy, he had a chocolate
velvet coat and white silk stockings,
1 and lace ruffles at hii wrists. And
they had one large cloak-:-:-his I fan
cy-east about the two of them,
though it drooped back a bit as they
sat down. •
1" Two young folks going . to a fa t
cy ball; perhaps," said I, and just
took a lit. on the way."
And I=touched my cap, to them,
and says I: " Pine evening, sir."
He did not answer me,
but she
looked - at me and stretched out a lit
tle white hand.
"Oh, sir," she said, "look out at
the•back.of the coaph, I pray you,
and tell me if he is gaining on us. "
-I looked out of the window. -
" There's a man on horseback rid
ing up the road," said I, for I saw
one.
"Oh, heavens !" said she.
" Courage, Betty," said the young
fellow. " They shall never part ns.
Then I knew it was a - runaway
match. • -
"I see how it is," cried I. "Keep
up your heart, young man. If 'the
young lady likes you, she'll stick to
you through thick and thin. I'll do
my best to help feu."
"Oh, heaven!" she cried again.
" Oh, my (Jailing, I hear the horses
feet. There - are more of them. Oh,
sir, look; tell me."
I looked: and saw many armed
horsemen following swiftly.

lie drew his sword..
- Athong other things he wore a
sword. .
I pulled my pistol from my pocket.
We all stretched our heads for
forward, and at that moment the
coach - turned a rocky point of the- -
road, and . I saw we were on the mar-.
girrof a precipice.
-All this time Black Jane had kept
up her furious speed, and I saw we
were in danger.
Ila - ye a care," cried I. -
"Faster !" cried the young man.
Suddenly there came a jolt rind 4
scream from the young lady. I heard
him say, "At last we die together."
And the coach lay fhat on its side
—not over the precipiee, but on the
edge of it.
A man - is a little stunned by - a
thing litre that.
When I'd climbed out of the win
dow and helped old Anthony up
'with the coach, and coaxed Black
Jane to quietness, I remembered that
no one else got oat; of the vehicle,
and I looked about ;in vain for my
pretty lovers. They were not there,
nor were there any signs of the troop
Of horsemen I had seen dashing up
the hill. They could not have pass
ed us in the narrow path by any pos
sibility.
'• We ran a .chance for our lives,
master," said Anthony. "Yet lam
called ri good driver, and Black Jane
is the kindesl, thing I ever saw in
harness. • Thank God for all His
mercies. It's a strange thing we did
not go over the cliff."
" But where did they go ?" I ask
ed.
" With?" said Anthony. -.
" The two lovers-'—the pretty 'crea
tures in 'fancy dress. The people
who wire after them—where are
they ?"
." Where " began Anthony.
Their he turned as . ; pale as death.
"All good angels over us r he cried.
"We have - ridden with Lady Betty.
It's the 10th of May. I. might have
known better than to try the road
to-night. Protect us all. Yes, we,
we've ridden witivLady Betty."
" Who is Lady Betty?". said I.
" As pretty a creature as ever I saw,
at all events. Who is she?"
Old Anthony stood looking at, me
and - shaking his head.
"It's an old story," he said.
" Book-learned folks tell it better
than I. But a hundred year* ago
and more, 013 thii blessed night, my
Lady Betty Hope, the prettiest lady,
ran off from a country ball with her
father's young secretary."
"They put one cloak over their
heads, and an old servant drove
them, kdowing•it was worth his life.
" But before they had gone far,
behind them came her kinifolk, armed
and ready for vengeance. And when
they reached this ioint they saw that
all was over. -
"'Better die together - that' to live
apart,' he said, holdiug her close.
Then he called out to; the servant,
'How goes it '
",' All is lost,.sir ' said the man.
The horses can't hold up five min
utes longer.'
"Then drive ,over," says he. -
The man obeyed orders.
"But ever since that night, sir, as
sure as the 10th of ' May comes
around; there's plenty here that will
tell you that whoever drives .a coach
past this road after nightfall won't
ride alone.
" There's nobody that remembered
the night would do it for a kingdom,
but I forgot. I'm getting okl, and
I f&rget things whiles; and so we're
ridden with Lady Betty."
That's the story old Anthony told
me, and what went before is what I
saw and heard, I'm a solid, sensible
man, but facts 'are_ facts, and here
you have.'em. •
