10 TJIJ3 SCKANTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY WORNINU. DECEMBER 29. 1804. (These short serial stories are copyrighted by DacheJJer, Johnson & Bach eller.and are printed inThe Tribune by special arrangement, simultaneous with their appearance in the leading daily Journals of the large cities). CHAPTER Ill-Continued. "There you are again, leading me out Into deeper and darker water, but I suppose I must accept your terms. Who is that out there that keeps gazing in here?" "Some fellow desperately gone on you. Shall J go out and knock him down?" "Goodness, no; he is' doing no par ticular harm. But I wish he would go away." "You don't like admirers, do you?" "The right sort of admirers, yes; but to be admired by ignorance is a cheap Victory." In Polly's eyes was the light of strong admiration as she looked at the girl. "You surprise me nearly every day," she said. "I did not expect to find so bright a creature In this dingy place." "Oh," Nell laughed, "you think I am bright Just because the place Is dingy. It doesn't take much of a butterfly to look pretty when it settles in the mud." Polly was silent, meditative; and when she spoke again there was In her voice a new tone, a tremulous sadness. "I am one of the shrewd children of the world," she said, "and you are a clover-scented child of the meadow, but, simple as you are, yours Is a wis dom that I could never reach. There's tluit idle fellow leaning on the fence. Shall I drive him away?" "I wish you would tell him that he is annoying me. No, it might hurt his feelings." This made Polly laugh so loudly that the fellow, thinking that the women were making fun of him, strode away. "One to contemplate your tenderness," said the woman of the world, "would scarcely think that you had ever turned loose a double-barrel shotgun amid a lot of men." "Oh, I did that for you, and if I had thought that the fellow out there was annoying you, I should have driven him away long ago." "My dear, I might take that as a re buke," Polly replied, "but I won't," she quickly added. Nell got up, brushing the sunbeams out of her eyes, and walked about the room. "I feel so strange today," she said. "Something must surely be going to happen. I wish that editor would come over here and beg you to take his paper for another year." "Perhaps he couldn't induce me to take it." "Oh, but you are. not thinking of going with the circus again, are you?" "You shall soon see what I intend to do." "But don't do anything to separate us." Polly had begun to read a news paper. "Did you hear what I said? Now what can be in that paper to In terest you so?" "I was just reading about a peculiar organization that I happen to know something about. Some time ago an old man, a crank, died in Chicago, hav ing willed his money to a club, or rather to several trustees who were to form such a club as he should name. It was to be called the Test club and was to have but thirty members. When a candidate should apply for member ship, a test (was to be Imposed upon him, and, if he carried It out faithfully, he was to be admitted as a member The Door Opened and Out Stepped a Man. and thereafter share In the dividends arising from certain, investments; and as the dividends were large there was a rush for membership. And I see by this article that a woman demands the right tp apply for membership, vowing that she Is willing to undergo any test that may be imposed upon her." "What nonsense," was the girl's com " ment. "A woman ought to know that bo soon as she gets out of her real sphere she Is robbed of her force, the power that she should wield over men." "I don't know much about the power that woman wield," Polly replied, "but I don't think that a woman would make a good ringmaster." "A ringmaster, Polly? What do you mean?" I "Why a ringmaster In a circus." "Oh. . But why should you so fre quently refer to the circus? I just be lieve that you Intend to run away and leave, us." "I think not By the way, what time ..does the stage come in?" "The first one comes at a little after 11. Why do you want to know?" Oh, I just happened to think about It." "But why didn't you happen to think about It before?" "And for that matter," Polly quickly replied, "why don't we happen to think about everything before?" They laughed at each other, and Nell, seizing her friend, pretended that she was going to put 'her out of the house, but Polly, taking hold of her arms, gave her an easy upward awing and stood her on a chulr. "Gracious alive," Nell cried, springing down; "how strong you are. Did riding a horse In a circus make you eo muscu lar?" "Perhaps riding a horse was not all I did. I might have handled cannon tails." - . "I should think you did. Oh!" she suddenly exolalmed, looking through the window; "yonder come those three strange men." ' Polly arose and glancing at the clock said: "I am going to my room, and you must entertain them until I come down. I won't be long." . Polly let 'me tell them that you don't wish to see them. - They will persuade you to go away with them." "No; tell them that I shall be dawn In a few moments." She hastened upstairs. The men came to the door. "May we come In?" one of them asked. ... , ...... She Invited them In with a certain tartness of manner, and when they had salt down one of t'hem asked: "Where's Polly?" "Miss Lopp ihas gone to her room. She (will be down booh. Do you wish to see her on very Important business?" "Well, nattier." "But If you have any word for her why can't I take it?" "Oh, I guess we'd better see her." "1 hopa you won'it persuade her to go away." "Ah, you ihave become friends, I take It." "Yes, devoted friends." "Nice girl," said the man. "A little coarse, but" "She Is not coarse, sir." "No? All right, then. I thought she was. Don't know very much about wo men myself, but I 'thought she was a llbtle coarse." "I should think, sir, 'that you would strive to be more of a gentleman than to call her coarse, fho is the noblest and bravest creature Jn the world." 'Thait so? Never saw her tried. lis that her stomping around upstairs?" Nrtll made no answer, nd they sat In silence. After awhile they heard Polly coming 'down the stairs. The stair door opened and out steppeda man. Nell uttered a sharp cry land covered her face with her hands. The man approached her, and bending over her said; "I was a candidate for ad mission Into tha't club and the test was that I should be a woman for one year." "Oh!" she replied, "and I have told you things 'that 1 should not have told anyone." "Yes;" ,he replied, still bending over her; "and you have rihown me the purest mind and the noblest heart that man has ever found." He leaned further over and whispered to her, and the face that she turned up to his was radiant with a confused happiness. Just at this moment old Aimes stalked in. "Where's Polly?" he asked. "Why, What's the meaning of all this? Hah? You don't mean" "I have been Polly," a man Bald, bowing to 'him; "but now I am George Hartley, and 'this daughter of yours, the sweetest woman that lives, Is to be mv wife." "A man, hah? A man from fust to last? Well, say, now, young feller, I knowed it all the time, and I was Jest waltin' to see how long you could keep it up. I've been mayor of this town too long to be fooled, I 'tell you, hafli?" (The End.) SELECTED KECIl'ES, Good Coffee The secret of having good coffee, is having good coffee.. In other words,, one can't make good cof fee unless one buys the best berry. A blending of Java and Mocha, bought at some reliable shop. Is generally con sidered the most desirable. Turkish coffee is made as follows, and when rightly concocted is very fine: Pour on one tablespoon ground coffee to each person one cup of cold water, nnd bring to a boll, Stand for five minutes. let if come to a boil again, and serve at once. itemember that filtered coffee should be Instantly used, as it Ik 'Ponies lilttop If it stands at all. Also, that the biggin, me water ana the coffeeberries should all be hot for this method of Tirennrlnn- the drink. An acceptable rule for con cocting it is tne following, which has been In practice in a certain famliv fni nearly fifty years: Measure the ground conee, allowing a tablespoonful to each person. Put In the scalded coffeepot with the crushed shell of nn egg and a very little of the white. Pour on tills about a half a cuii of cold shake well together. Then add about a cup of boiling water and bring to a boil. Immediately fill up, as desired, with the boiling water, and set far back on the stove for five minutes. Syrup of Coffee This Is useful for those who wish to take coffee with them on a journey In as small a quan tity as possible. Make It thus: Take a Dound of best freshlv-irrounil rnfYen and place it in a sauce-pan with five pints or water and boil it down to one pint. Strain the liquor, and when It is nearly cold place It In another sauce pan to boll again. As it bolls add suf ficient loaf sugar to make it of the con sistency of syrup. Let the sugar thor oughly dissolve, then boil up, take it from the fire, and when cold bottle nnd seal it. When required for use place a teaspoonful of the coffee In a break fast cupful of boiling water or milk, whichever is preferred. Lemon Macaroones. One pound of powdered sugar, four eggs, whipped verv llirht and lone: lulee of three lem. ons and peel of one; one heaping cupful prepareu nour, one-nair teaspoonful nutmeg. Butter your hands lightly; take up small lumps of the mixture, make into balls about as large as a walnut, and lay them upon a sheet of buttered paper-more than two Inches apart. Bake In a brisk oven, White Puffs. One pint' rich milk; whites of four eggs whipped stiff; one heaping cup prepared flour; one scant cup powdered sugar; grated peel of half a lemon; a little suit. Whisk the eggs and sugar to a meringue, and add al ternately with the Hour to the milk. (If you have cream, or half cream half milk, It is better.) Beat until the mix ture Is very light, and bake In buttered cups or tins. Turn put, lft powdered sugar over them, and cat with lemon sauce. These are delicate in texture and taste, and pleasing to the eye. Jelly Puddings. Two cups very fine stale biscuit or bread crumbs; one cup rich milk, beaten very light; one-half teaspoonful soda, stirred In boiling water; one cup sweet Jelly, Jam or mar malade. Scald the milk and pour over the crumbs. Fill until half cold, and stir In the beaten yelks, then whites, finally the soda. Fill large cups half full with the batter; set In a quick oven and bake half an hour. When done, turn out quickly and dexterously; with a sharp knife make an incision in the side of each; pull partly open, and put a liberal spoonful of the conserve with in. Close the slit by pinching the edges with your fingers. - Eat warm with sweetened cream. Plain Boiled Pudding. One cup lop- pered milk or crewim, one-half cup mo lasses, one-half cup butter, melted; two and one-half oups flour,' two even tea spoonsful of soda, dissolved In hot wa ter; a little salt, Mix molasses and but ter together, and beat until very light. Stir In' the crer.m or milk, and salt; make a hole In the flour, pour in the mixture. Stir down the flour gradual ly until lit Is a smooth batter. Beat in the soda water thoroughly, and boll at once In a buttered mould, leaving room to swell. It should be done In an hour and a half. Eat hat with a good sauce. Boiled Lemon Pudding. Two cups of dry bread crumb3, one cup powdered beef suet, four tablespoonsful flour, prepared, one-half cup sugai one large lemon, all the juice and half the peel; four eggs", whipped light; one cup of milk a large one. Soak the bread crumbs In the milk, add the suet, beat eggs and sugar together and these well Into the soaked bread. To these put the lemon, lastly the flour, beaten in with as few strokes as will suffice to mix up all into a thick batter. Boil three hours in a buttered mould. Eat hot with wine sauce. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Somebody Is always saying to use damp tea leaves on your carpet to lay the du;tt in sweeping. Tea leaves will stain, no matter how well steeped. If thccurpet Is very dark it might do, but they will be Bure to ruin a light carpet. Suit Is u shade worse thun tea leaves, for it mukca the carpet stlelty. Damp sawdust is cleun and will take up the dust, but can't always be procured. A cheap substitute is to tear paper Into small bits und dip' In cold water till wet, then squeeze dry and sprinkle over the carpet. To brighten up faded colors, wring a cloth out of a gallon of water In which you have put two tablespoonsful of ox gall. Generally speaking, coffee boiled Is cof fee spoiled. The instant that it bolls up, It should be set back to steep for a few moments. If your handsome Chinese timllrella holder gets broken' don't throw it aside. Fasten the pieces together wllh cement, and then apply a line of some bright enamel puint or gliding along the crack. A streak or two of paint, either more or less, will not look out of place on Chinese bric-a-brac, for it all looks liko a wur map, anyhow. Fried banuna Is a palatable dish for breakfast, and gives thut fruit a ilavor all Its own. and to many tastes much better than when eaten in the natural stale. Take off the peeling anil split the banana In half. Have a hot frying pan with half an Inch of melted butter In the bottom. Into this put tho banana, being curjful not to let it burn, but brown well on both sides. Just before lifting out sprinkle with sugar and set In the hot oven to crisp over the top. Serve on a hot dish. Cranberries may be used Instead of cur rant Jelly as the flavoring for an excel lent dessert. Wash a pint of the berries, and cook them In Just enough water to keep them from scorching. If a particle more Is added It will spoil the result. As soon as the berries pop, put them through a colander, add a cupful of granulated sugar. Dissolve two tank-spoonfuls of gelatine in four tublespoonsfuls of cold water, add the berries us soon as sweot encd, stund on ice, and stir until the pud ding begins to thicken, then mix well with It a pint of thick cream. Put In a mold until it hardens. The temperature at which bread is both raised and baked Is of the greatest im portance In producing the perfect loaf. Dr. Woods, of tho Connecticut experiment station, places the proper raising temper ature at from SO degrees to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and the baking temperature at from 400 to 500 degrees. In a late paper on bread-making, he cautions the houae wlfc against cooling the loaves of bread too rapidly after taking them from the oven. .

An empty glove long withering In the grass Of time's cold palm. I lift It to my Hps, And lo, once more I thrill beneath its clasp In fan y. as with odorous finger-tips It reaches from the years that used lo be, And proffers back love, life and all, to me. Ah! Beautiful sho was beyond belief: Her fuce wus fuir and lustrous as tho moon's; Her eyes too largo for small delight or grlef- The smiles of them were Laughter's af ternoons; Their tears were April showers, nnd their love All sweetest speech swoons ere it speaks thereof. Whitc-frulted cocoa shown against the shell Were not so wlilto as was her brow be low ' The cloven tresses of tho hair that fell Across her neck and Bhoulders of nude snow; Her cheeks chased pallor with a crim son stain Her mouth was like a red rose rinsed with rain. And this was she my fancy held as good As fair and lovable In every wlso As peerless In puro worth of womanhood As was her wondrous beauty in men's eyes, Yet ull alone I kiss this empty glove The poor husk of tho hand I loved and love.

A Glance nt the Royal Wcdding-Gliout Stories l p to Dntc-Arthtir Sul livun's Latest Success. London, Dec. 15, 1894. Things are looking very blank for the Liberal party Just now, and Lord Rosebery has given a pledge that he cannot now re voke. In his recent great speach at j.iuuroru, no made it plainly under stood that the one nnd nnlv Lien r,f the Liberal party was to get the house oi torus abolished. But the govern ment Is making a great mistake, for It proposes glibly to do away with the peers but does not suggest anything better In the shape of an upper house. Lord Itosebery was very well received at Bradford and received very flatter ing orations, at the several railway stations that the train pulled up at. But the Unionist party are making great strides In public opinion and led by energetic Joey Chamberlain set forth an excellent programme, The rural folk care nothing for the home rule question, and little for the aboli tion of the lords question, but wages are low and trade Is bad and Joey's social schemes are very palatable. With internal distention, and with a reduced majority, thegovernment will soon have to appeal to the country and it is con fidently asserted that 1896 will see a conservative government once more in power. The Irishmen will do much toward this, as a certain section of them are resolved to do all In their power to force a dissolution, thinking that a big home rule majority will be returned. A recent "Punch" cartoon represented Lord Itosebery in kilts crossing a flimsy bridge which spanned a stream. "I wish line I was across this brlgg!" Well, Itosebery has wetted his boots and stockings and is one step nearer being kilt. (Pardon but it is quite ori ginal.) For at the election at Brlgg in Lancashire tho Liberal party lost a valuable seat und one that they have held for many years. This Is the sec ond loss they have lately experienced. Mr. Itlchardson, the successful conser vative candidate and now M. P. is a popular man and a fine sportsman, and ho has contested the seat on two pre vious occasions. Uneasy lies the head which sports a prince's bonnet. Should the nurse who uttends on the little Prince Edward of York, leave to be married or any thing silly like that, every nurse in the land would apply for the post! For Is shenotalways accompanied by a police man? Yes, the reason Is this wise. It it is said that a band of bold, bad Amer icans came over with the intention of bagging the baby, which belongs by rights to a Yankee millionaire, their fell Intention being a heavy ransom (aha!) Well the execution of the bold, bad Americans' kidnapping scheme did not come off, and the. millionaire's in fant is still safe and a few months older. "Foiled! said the Marsh man." IIot to be done, the bold, bad Americans then turned their attention to the Duke of York's brlfle, hence the attendance of the "bobby." The engagement of said "copper" with the lady that wheels the pram Is not yet announced. As a matter of fact, royal babies invariably have a secret escort, as cranks are as plentiful as blackberries, and killing a baby prince would be an act of heroism In their eye3. The Empress Eugenie has just paid a short visit to the Queen. The empress and Princess Beatrice are great friends and the wife of Henry, of Battenberg, mot the once beautiful empress nnd also saw her off again. Mr. Cecil Rhodes, the energetic and business-like premier of the English colonies, in South Africa, was invited to dinner during the em press' stay. Rhodes is a wonderful example of a man who went to the Capo to die and now returns on a visit, a healthy, fine fellow, with a capable head not yet turned by popularity and success. Prince Dolly, of Teck, and the daugh ter of the Duke of Westminster are now one. The wedding was celebrated in great style and the flowers alone cost quite a small fortune. The list of princes, dukes and lords who attended Is almost as long as the "presents" ac count, which Is saying a great deal. The bridegroom looked smart in his Lancer uniform and the bride's dress was, of course, "a puflit-k dream" (this saves a lot of description). Four rever end gentlemen tied the knot and the dear old Duchess of Tcck lit up tho chupel with her expansive and all en trancing smiles. Tho presents would make many a poor man rich. There were seven hundred of them. But then a prince and a daughter of the richest nobleman in England do not marry every day. Some Ghost Stories. Ghosts are the order of the day. Ghost No. I has been having high Jinks at Charterhouse school, where it has frightened school boys out of Jheir seven senses, caused a groom to tum ble out of a dog-cart and alarmed a ser vant girl so seriously that she Is dan gerously ill. Of coure, It is some stupid practical Joke, by an Idiot with a lumin ous face, a sheet and a pair of India rubber shoes. The head master has de cided to his satisfaction that the ghost is not one of the pupils, but apart from this, the spook Is a mystery. GhoSt No. 2 has caused the demolition of some ancient buildings known as Field Court in Gray's Inn, Holborn. This ap pears also to bo a "Joke!" but as the said joke runs back 300 years It may safely be called a "chestnut." Some time back a human skin was found tanned and dressed, a relic of ancient practical joking, In .the time of the Htuarts, perhaps, and Just a few weeks ago the usually quiet Inhabitants began to too disturbed, the house at the end of the quaint buildings was pulled down and then In the still of .night creaking of boards and groanlngs were 'heard. One night a crash caused many hairs on- many heads Ho stand erect and the noise could not be traced; then a hearth stone went half way through the floor, and .when a bed traveled from one end of the room 'to another during a single night the inhabitants of Field Court had a hunt around. Practical build ers soon saw through the whole mys tery; the houses had been so built that the removal of a wall caused all the Julnts to give gradually and evet1 slnco the houses ihave been gradually col lapsing like a pack of cards. The peo ple were not long iln removing their be longings a til In a short time pictur esque Field Count will be razed to the ground. A strange freak, truly! ; :The coroner's Jury has returned a verdict' of tnurder against Reginald Saunderson, ithe young man of good Save Dentists' Bills, Doctors' Bills and Butchers' Bills by eating a bowl of delicious Quaker Oats for breakfast.

Tha shops are bright enough with Christmas goods and busi ness is much brisker, money Is free and mines are looking up. Since the news of the American elections, American stocks and shares have been booming briskly nnd commerce looks very prom ising. Given a little fine weather and we shall really have nothing to grumble at which Is rather hard lines on us Johnny Bulls! In the Dramatic World. Sir Arthur Sullivan Is a wonderful and a fortunate man, wonderful Inso much ithat every conric, opera he turns his .hand and (head to, seems to be as tuneful nnd ias spontaneous as the last, and fortunate In always having his musilc rendered by first class and popu lar artists. "The Chieftain," which is the name of the comic opera which has grown out of the little comldetta of twenty-seven years ago, has scored heavily and 'the writer. Mr. "Punch" Burnand, is a happy man. It is notice able that bullivan's music was as fresh in 1.XG7 as it Is now in '94, although the later scores show more resource. The artints Include Florence St. John, who Is artistic, and also rather vulirar Courtice Pounds of the tenor voice. Then two old favorites appear iln the persons of Rosina Brandram and Tem ple, whilst a comparatively 'now actor, Scott Flshe, won considerable applause. The "fat" part of iLhe cockney who is bound by the "ancient law" of th brigands to become their chief and marry the wife of ithe "late lamented" Is taken with great success by Walter Passmore. The new Alhambra ballet Is crealtlng quite a sensation. The sub ject Is one to conjure with "All Baba aim the Forty Th eves" and believe me the thieves as impersonated by forty lovely uamsels are very klssable and lovely beyond measure. Thousands of pounds have been expended on sumptu ous dresses and scenery, and the result Is quite bewilderinir. It is the finest thing of the kind that has ever been seen in London. At the Agricultural hall ithe annual cattle show Is belnif held and the queen and the prince of Wales are prize winners. This show attracts many country cousins, whose dress, manners and talk are things terrible and amusing. Bolossy Kiralfy will open Olympia with an Oriental ex hibition of which great things are ex pected. The marriage of Arthur Bourchler and Violet Vanburgh has attracted considerable attention, and both are known on your side of the pond. Bour chler was Ada Rehen's leading man during her season at Daly's, and previ ous to that he was with Llllie Langtry In America. Of late he has been per forming the principle man's part in the Drury Lane drama, "The Derby Win ner." Violet Vanburgh 13 a daughter of Prebendary Barnes, and has per formed successfully In many plays. The wedding was quite a fashionable one, both bride and groom being very well connected. Sports of the Field. The annual Rugby foot ball match between the rival universities of Ox ford and Cambridge produced a very close contest nn ended in a draw of one goal each, but contrary to expecta tion, the light blues (Cambridge) had the best of the game. Fey hurt his foot, and, greatly to Ills followers' dis appointment, was unable to assist his 'varsity and his "understudy" did very little. Forward the Cambridge men had it all their own way, but behind tho scrums and on defence the dark blues were vastly superior to their opponents. The players were not padded and the police were not present on the field that day. Close on th3 news of tha death of Riordon from a blow dealt by Fltz slmmons, has occurred a similar fatal accident in London, where a pugilist has been fatally Injured by an Austra lian, "Dummy" Winters by name. The latter is a deaf mute and is very miser able over the death of Smith. He has been arreakd, as have several sporting men connected with the affair, but they are all out on ball. It Is not thought that Winters will be punished, as he i3 nn Inoffensive fellow enough, and Smith app?ars to have taken but little care of a fractured Jaw. And now, good Scranton folk, your London correspondent sends you all a real Jolly Christmas. Don'teat too much Indigestible pudding, don't ruin p?o ple's tempers with carols and don't for get the poor newspaper men things, who masticate a lowly sausage and gnaw a yesterday's roll In a top back room and feel thankful that they have as good as that!
