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.
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.

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

Yet ull alone I kiss this empty glove
The poor husk of tho hand I loved and

LIBERAL PARTY'S riiOSI'ECTS
Weird Talo of Contemplated Kidnapping.
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!

We are having yot another spell of
hard rains nnd London Is dark and
miserable. 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

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! Richard Willis.
