The city editor wanted a two-column article on "Mrs. Bluebeard from Behind the Scenes," and Morgan was given the assignment. The press agent Introduced him to the stuge manager, who grunted a response and then turned hia attention to weight ier mutters. The stage was dirty looking; some Brenery, barked up against the wall, appeared garish and cheap not at all so soft and beautiful as when seen from the front. A chorus girl brushed past Morgan; she was pl.iHtered with rouge and had two heavy black lines painted under her eyea. Her lashes were thick with some black stuff and yet from his seat in the parquet the other night he had thought her beautiful beyond com pare. The play had already commenced and the comedian was capering around the stage with the soubrette. A crowd of men Incased In brass armor leaned against a stone painted wall, while some chorus girls gowned as peasants, were chatting and laughing a few feet a way. "What the devil are you girls gad ding about over there?" came the voice of the stage manager. "I've told you a hundred times to stand In that second entrance and wait jour cue there. I'll fine the whole crowd of you If I have to tell you anln." Tint girls moved In a matter-of-fact sort of way to the entrance designated. One of the girls, a light-haired little tiling. stu( k her tongue out when the stni;e manager's bark was turned. "Cripps is an old crank," she said. The other girls laughed. Young Morgan took a long breath, fle was acc iistomed to profanity down at the oflk-p, but then there were uo women there. A burst of music and the girls tripped on the stage. Just as the comedian, panting and persiring, came tumbling off. "I'm going to cut that dance to morrow night, Cripps. It's too much exertiuu for a warm night." "Cut your whole business for all I rare," answered Cripps. "It'a not my reputation you're making. The whole blooming show can go to the devil as far as I am concerned." The coujpdlan yawned. "Got "em again, Cripps?" was all he said. Mix girls came Jostling off the stage. One of them stumbled against a bit of projecting rcenery and tore a rent In her gown. "Who's got a pin? Who's got a pin?" she shouted. Cripps beard ber. "Tore your dress, Sid you? That'll cost you a dollar help you not to be so careless, too. Take the dress to Mrs. Ward after this scene and tell her to mend It." "I couldn't help It, Mr. Cripps. I hurt my si lie against the scene, too. I've got HioiJsb to put up with without being Bned." "Can't help how the devil yon did It." was Cripps' unfeeling rejoinder. "You rirlrf come off that scene like a pack of frightened sheep. Take your time. No body's clmslng you. Here, Gadsby, nind your lights! Quick now out lights down with that drop! ShoTe that wing around more so-so that's noiigh. lou t take all night with that table. That Is a quick change, not a fnncrxl! Got out of the way, you fool reporter! Tush that chair on the stage. Now up lights up lights for the love of aeaveu, and be quick about It P And p went the lights as suddenly as they went out, and Morgan heard a burst of ippluu.se from the front as the "Extor or of the King's Palace" gave way In Ifteeu second to "A Room In Blue eard's Castle." The girls were rush ng up th narrow wooden stairs for a mango of costume armored knights were running past him toward the itage the orchestra was playing a wild laufsre the stage manager was look UK at bis watch and grinning trluuiph intly. "Ma.ltf the chauge In four sec mils quicked time than last night," ha alii. "Have you a pin, please " Morgan How Old o c ) You need not answer tbe question, madam, for in your case age is not counted by years. It will always be true that "a woman is as old as Bhe looks." Nothing sets the seal of age bo deeply uj'on woman's beauty rs gray hair. Ii. is r.rtturr-1, therefore, tliat every woman is rnxio-,; to preserve her hair in all its original abuuiV-mco and beauty; or, that boing denied tho crowding gift of beautiful hair, she longs to possess it. Nothing is easier than to attain to this gift or to preserve it, if already possessed. Ayer's Hair Vigor restores gray or faded hair to its original color. It does this by simply aiding nature, by supplying the nutrition necessary to health and growth. There is no better preparation for the hair than AYER'S HAIR VIGOR. turned. It was th girl with a tear i I her gown. The reporter gave ber a pin. Tl stage manager la not gracious to-night, said. "Same aa usual," she answered. "I" dsesnt change moeh. That bis daugl ter ever there" and she awept her an vaguely toward a crowd of girla wk were sitting on a flight of red steps. "The aa with a pink ribbon In he hair?" aaked Morgan. "No, that's the comedian' wife Mrs Winters. The girl with the yellov tights Is Minnie Cripps. She and th comedian's wife are thick aa thiever, They don't love me and I don't Iev them. Some day I'll get even with them Mrs. Winters flrat, though. "You're Spanish T asked Morgan looking at her lustrous hair and ber dark Spanish eyes. "Yes, say name is Anita Cortes." "I remember yon bow. Yon do a Spanish dance around a dagger stuck In the stage." "Yes, and if it wasn't for that danci Mrs. Winters and I ok, well, I'll tell you after the show. Going anywhere after the show? NoT Wen, the cur tain drops at 10:54 o'clock and it takes me about twenty minutes to get out. IH meet yon In the ladles' saloon at the cafe around the corner at 11:80 o'clock I have to go up stairs and dross for the second aot now. When I com down I'll show you my dagger. If s a beauty. fun of jewels, and I can throw it fifty feet and hit a bull's eye. There goes the eurtaia down on the first act. I'm late." And she darted up the stairs. Then there was pushing and shov lag and hauling and hoisting as the costless scene shifters began sotting tbe scenes for the second act. The or chestra leader came through a little door that led up from under the stage. Cripps caught sight of bias. "Don't give an encore for tbe opening chorus to-night, Borterton. We're four minutes late now on the first act. It's twenty-one of ten." "All right," answered the orchestra leader. "There's a fine house out front." Then, after a pause: "Say, Cripps, I don't want to Interfere, but that Cortes woman is flirting with if ery man In the bouse again. She's got my first violin daft. He made two dis cords Just because be can't keep hi yes off her." "I warned that Cortes minx tw weeks ago that I'd fire ber. The two weeks are np to-night and she goes. I guess ahe knows it, too, for she's been looking ugly confound ber!" He pull ed out his watch. "We're ready for you. Bet tenon," and as the orchestra leader disappeared through the little dour Cripps called upstairs: "All down for the second act!" A few minntes later the curtain went up on the second act. Cripps was swear ing, as usual, and a sensitive chorus glii was crying because ho had merely called her a "waddling hog" and had threatened to fine her If she didn't walk with her head up in the air and not down on her chest, "as If she waa rooting for walnuts." The act was half over when Morgan saw Anita Cortes coming down tbe wooden steps. At the foot of the steps stood tbe come dian's wife. Hay Winters. Her back was toward Anita. In a second the dancer had drawn a dagger from her belt another second and she took a quick look around. No one but Mor gan observed her; she saw that he was looking at ber, and so she threw a kiss at him. Then, like a flash, the dagger flew through the air and buried itself to the hilt In May Winters' back. Simul taneous witb her shriek came a cry from the dancer, as she deliberately tumbled down the steps, landing on top of the wounded woman. With the quickness of lightning she pulled the dagger from the quivering flesh and sprang to her feet. "My God," she cried. "My God, Cripps, come here. My foot slipped on the stairs and the dagger flew out of my hands, wounding May Winters, and oh, my foot's sprained and there's my cue." And with a limp she bounded on the stage and throwing the dagger, dripping with blood, point downward, she danced around it like a wild thing; while the audience, moved by her fren zy, rose and cheered again and again at her tempestuous and whirlwind-Ilk entrance. Behind tbe scenes a different part was being played. The wounded wom an was carried Into a nearby dressing room and the stage carpenter had sped up the street for a doctor. Winters, the comedian, was stanching the flow of blood with his cap. The woman was unconscious. "She did it on purpose," said Cripps. "That fall of hers was a regular stage fall you can't fool me." "I don't think it was done purpose ly," said Winters, unsteadily. He bent his head and the tears slowly rolled down his cheeks and fell on tbe pink tights of the hurt woman. Cripps walk ed softly to the door and went out; he whistled softly to himself. The doctor arrived Just as Oripps ame to the door again: "Hurry up. Winters your cue." "By heavens, Grippe, I can't slag a topical song now." "trs your bresd and butter out front there. Your wife's in that room. Yon can't help her by staying. Better look after ydur bread and butter." Winters dug his nails Into the palms of hU bands. Cripps half led, half push ed bla toward the stage. "Your hand's full of blood; wipe It on the wings as you go past," he said, quietly. And so Winters went capering on the stage and sang and laughed aaid msde tbe audience almost wild witb delight, and the doctor In the dressing-room looked brave and tried to stop the flow of blood. After he had sung three verses he darted from the stage and was iu the drePAing-rooia. Anita Cortex was help ing tbe doctor. "I'm very sorry about the accident, Mr. Winters," said the dancing girl. are You? Imly. "I've lost ray position by it -Ipps has discharged ice." Winters looked at ber and set bis etb. She looked at bun and smiled. Accidents will happen, you know." nd she sigLed. "Can I bo of any fur her assistance, doctor?" "I think not," bo answered. She walked to tbe door. "Good-by, inters." she said, without - turning er bead. Noiselessly she opened tbe oor. .Winters dropped on his knees beside is wife. "Well?" be interrogated, look :ig up at the doctor. "Unless there's aa Internal bemor hage, she's all right. I think, though, be'U pull through. Have some one ing for aa ambulance. She'll be better ;t a hospital than at borne." Young Morgan walked Into the ladies afe at the saloon around the corner. Anita Cortez was sitting at a table. She looked handsomer off tbaa on tbe stage. "You're late," sbe said. "Yes," he answered. "Tbe manager kept me her making me promise not to use tho story It would hurt tbe show. And so I promised, though the ctty edi tor would kill me If he knew I bad the story and didn't use It. What will you have to drink T" "I'm not hungry," she answered. 'Another thing I didn't aak you here to eat and drink. I want to tell you a story. Once upon a time that's the way all nice stories begin, you knew ah, but this isn't a nice story at all, so it must begin differently. Once there was a dancer, and she Joined a bur lesque company. .There was a man in it, a comedian, whom she knew some years before. But tbey bad certain rea sons for not allowing other people to knew this, so he treated her as coolly as she treated him that is, when say. one was looking." 'Ah, I see now," said Morgan. "No, you don't, my dear boy. Let me continue. This ee median was married to one of tbe chorus girls bad been married recently, toe. This hurt the other woman's pride, for the man bad sworn hia love for her long before he had met the pretty blende. But ahe didn't want the man now. She was too proud and sbe had also outgrown her liking or loving, call It what you will. See that table by the door? Well, three days ago the comedian came la here af terthe matinee. Theother woman well. I was the other woman was sitting at that table alone. No one else was In the room. He came over to me and begged me to leave the company. His wife was jealous of me. Women grow Jealous Intuitively. I refused to leave the company. He got on bis knees to beg me. Jnst then entered his wife. Sbe marched up to the table, called me every vile name in the calendar, and before I had an Inkling of what she in tended to do she slapped my face. I was on my feet in an Instant, but Win ters came between us and got his wife downstairs. I swore I'd be even with her, and I have been." But," said Morgan, "If you'U pardon Bis saying so, don't you think she was Justified in slapping your face?" Anita Cortez laughed. "What a guileless boy you are!" she said. "I'll tell you another story a shorter one. Suppose a man marries a woman and In six mouths tires of her and leaves her to starve. Then suppose he marries another woman a year or so afterward. Wife No. 2 finds ber hus band with Wife No. 1 and slap's 'o. l's face. Now, legally. If there was any slapping to be done the first wife should hnve the right, wouldn't she? Well, the first wife didn't slap she stabbed. Will you kindly help me on wifli my cloak?" Footlights. ,HE MASHER AND THE LADY. De time, faw, and Carried lloat for a Lndyr Two Flower rote. Like all bis cities, Paris has its mash ers. They annoy the ladies often enough, but, as a rule, they are harm less fooU, after all. Here Is the latest little story of a masher and a beautiful ln-.ly, which the Paris papers are print ing and which the Sun translates: At the Quai aux Fleurs on market day, a beauty arrived on foot. So did a masher. He fixed bis loving eyes upon. She paid no attention to him. He persisted, and vainly endeavored to engage her in conversation. Finally she purchased two big geraniums. "Do you live far from here, madam?" asked the dude. The lady made no answer at first; but after an instant's reflection, prompt ed by the size of the geranium pots and plants, and the necessity of employing a commissalre, she replied, sweetly "Rue du Louvre, ft." on, exclaimed the masher, "you can't carry such a burden so far! AI low me to help you." She smiled, but, in the language of the duelists. Instead of "abandoning to hi in the choice" of pots, she pointed to both. and smiled again. The masher put a pot under each arm, and. equipped In that way, went off with the lady. When they came to the Rue du Louvre, 00, she stopped, thanked the dude, and stretched out her beautiful little hand for the flower-stots. But the masher politely Insisted upon carrying them up to her apartment. '"the trouble is," said the lady, "I live on the top floor and there Is no ele vator." "I would not be surprised If you told me that you lived way up in heaven. Angels live there," said the enthusiastic masher. "Well, come, then." said tbe lady, In tbe goldon tones in which the Divine Sarah in "Cleopatra" addresses her Tony. So up they went until they came to the abode of the sorceress. Bhe rang the belL Heavy footsteps were heard Inside. The doer was opened, and s fine-looking man appeared. "Allow me to Introduce you to my husband, sir," said the lady. "My dear," she added, addressing her Infe rior portion, 'this gentleman has been kind enough to carry these plants for me all the way from the flower-marker and up the stairs, too, as you see." "Good enough," said the big fellow. "Here, my man, here is a twenty-ceut piece. Go and get a drink!" The dude started down the stairs at a lively rate, without waiting for his pourboire, and. as he was going down, he could hear the ringing laugh of the lady and tbe hoarse "ha! ha!" of the happy husband.

New Tork Boeorder. CaJTDT. Home-made candy is best for the children. The following reoipes come from the Boston Cook in ar School : . Peppermints Put on to boil ona and one-half cnpfuls of granulated suar and one-half cupful of water, cooked until it will just gather to gether in cold water ; it must not be cooked until it can be gathered into a soft ball like the fondant. When cooked to the right degree add four heaping teaspooafuls of confectioner's sugar ; if it seems too stiff to drop put it directly over the fire and heat it up again. Just before pouring out add six drops of oil of peppermint. Turn jat in ahape, uaing a tunnel aad a long-handled wooden atopper, lifting the stopper high enough to allow tbe mixture to flow into the right siae. Different kinds may be made by using different flavorings and colorings. Buttercups Boil two capful of molasses, one cupful of sugar, three quarters of a cupful of water, one heaping tablespoonful of butter, one half teaapoonful of cream of tartar ; without stirring. When done ponr on to a buttered platter ; when it can be haudled pull until light colored. ?l33 on a slightly-floured board, ind stretch out into a long, narrow -ihapa ; into tbe centre fold some French 'oiiilaut, and roll out and cut. corto Rico molasses of a medium grade '.a best for caudy. Measure the butter is rounding as the spoon hollow; neariure ont an even teaspoonful of iream of tartar, and divide length-wise ' r the half spoonful. The cream of jii tnr is not added to make the candy ahitj, as many people think, but to ieop it from granulating. Nut Nougat. Melt one pound of ;nar in a saucepan, stirring con stantly to prevent burning, as there is 10 water in it. Add one cupful of uickory nut meat, slightly salted. Pour into buttered pane, and mark into squares. It may be more con venient fur some to measure the suar in a cup than by weight ; in that case, remember that two cnpfuls, or one pint, of granulated sugar weighs a xiuud. This rule ii only for granu ated sugar, as it would require a .arger quantity of powdered aupar t.i weigh the same. Put all the ingretli ;ut3 into a granite-ware saucepan ue th-it has been used for melting outter or lard ia lett. The flavor of :he candy is much improved if a little ialt is spriukled over the nuts before nixing together. The nuts should .ha : leatod thoroughly before stirring into :he syrup, and the plane on which it is m be poured should be hot. When he candy is poured on the plate, cut nto narrow strips or bars quickly, vith a thin, sharp knife. Rapid work s necessary in making nnt bar. Many tlier nuts are used in place of lickory nuts. Peanuts, shelled, tkinned, and chopped fine, are gener illy liked ; whole almonds spread over .he surface of the candy are very ood ; English walnuts, castauas, or toy other nut, chopped fine, give an xce)lont flavor. This candy is easily nade, and is generally liked. Cream Caramela Boil three cup nils of sugar, one half cupful of but ;er, o".e cupful of milk, and one quare of sweet chocolate for ten ninutea. Beat until cold; add one iableapoonful of vanilla. Beat with a patent egg-beater until it begins to mgar around the kettle, then pour it u a buttered tin, and cut in squares. The sugar for caudy of any kind should je measured just level in one of the regular measuring cups holding half a ittt. Pack the butter into the cap olid. Put all the ingredients except ;he chocolate into a granite ware ket tle, and boil for ten minutes without ttirring; and boiling means to have .he whole surface of the candy bub aling and bursting for the specified time. As small an amount of choco late as ia used in this rule can be toraped fine or grated and put into ;he sugar dry ; if a large amount were :o be used the better way to use it would be to break the cake in tiny pieces and put in a bowl, setting this in the opening in the tea-kettle, or over steam in some way, to melt the jhooolate. When the taffy has been boiled the requisite time remove from the stove aud beat rapidly with the agg beater, watching the sides of the jish carefully to see when the mixture begins to granulate. Do not put the vanilla extract in the taffy until the beating is finished, ss extract of any kind tends to form the mixture into grains. It ia rather difficult to beat the candy with an egg-beater, bat it is the only way to do it thoroughly. When the taffy is turned out on the pan cut into squares quickly with a thin, sharp knife.

Each that Its department Is one of the best (tr not tne best) in the country. The ri valry between some of the cities la at times quite amusing, and there Is much discussion upon the merits of their own firemen; but New York City un doubtedly oCLUDies to-dav the envlnl.l. position of having, all things consider ed, tne most thoroughly equipped and most efficient fire service in the world. The apparatus Is of the best The horses, selected with care and Judg ment, are magnificent animals: and th men, picked from those thought to be best adapted for the work they must perform, are subjected to a most rigid physical examination before thev ara admitted to the service, and afterward are trained in a school of instruction at fire headquarters that la comnlete In Itself. St. Nicholas. Bhe Got the Doll. A pretty little story comes from Balti more. At a fair held there for the bene fit of a church a little girl named Rose bad worked very bard while the fair was In progress to sell various things that were Intrusted to her. A doll was at one of the booths tbat was to be voted to the most popular little girl, and Rose's name was among others a candidate for this prize. The child waa very anxious to possess the lovely doll, which seemed to her the most beautiful thing la the world. On tbe evening of the drawing little Rose could hardly wait, but when the num bers began to be read off It was noticed tbat ahe was not around. Someone went to look after her and found ber In a part of the room where the crowd waa least, oa her knees saying over a little ehlldiafa prayer which begged tbat the doll baby might be sent to ber. The sight brought tears to the eyea of those who saw aad listened. Just as she finished the word was sent among her frlenda that Rose had Indeed earn ed the ooU, and a second later, so touch ed was everyone with her childish faith, it waa huriedly snatched from the table and put kn bar arm. Happiness beamed all over her baby face as ahe carried her treasure around the room, and ev erybody who saw her was aa glad as she was that she had got it. ow Lacy Trained the Potatoes. Lucy Uvea In a big city In a little bouse back f which is a roomy yard. Last spring she told her father that she wanted to have a garden all of ber own. So a piece of ground was staked off and Lucy planted her seeds. Bhe didn't know much about gardening, and when she was In trouble ahe asked ber grandfather to help ber. One of ber beds contained potatoes and when tbey sprouted she waa very happy, in deed, and hoed them diligently. Two or three weeks after they began to blos som and it was not long before tbe whole bed waa a mass of bright little white flowers. At this Lucy was much concerned. Sbe knew that potatoes grew In the ground, for she hsd seen them dug. But how could tby start If tbe blossoms were en top of tbe bushes? Unfortunately Lucy's grandfather had gone away for a visit and she couldn't ask him to explain the queer conduct of her garden. Bhe must meet the prob lem herself.

Tbe OM floaaiakt-City Has Little OBTer tkto Sisjht-Beer. It was July, and we had arrived at Malaga from Marseilles by water. The town lay white and shining under s barren amphitheater of mountains. Be tween It and the Vlnuesa was a great stretch of hot, hazy, shimmering, snnlit water, over which little boats, each with white awning up, pulled out to meet us. We had read in Me. Hare' "Wanderings in Spain" of the -extortion sod shocking manners of Malaga's boatmen; tbe same story was in Mar ray, with an added warning to keep out temper. But we had no trouble. Once we had landed, and on the open quay J. had unstrapped and unlocked all our bags for s customs officer, who was too buy to look Into them; and st the Hotel Victoria the landlord had given us a Urge, clean, airy, brick-floored bed-room, for which he asked less than tbe guide book told us to beat him down to; we were free, without further delay or bother, to make our plans and be off en the road at any moment we chose. But first of all we went out to have a look at Malaga. Who was It said that sight-seeing la the art of disappoint ment? Surely we had not come all this way to the town ef Hamet cl Zegrl, to walk through brand-new, wide atrects, lined with big modern shops and clulw and cafes. The huge interior of the cathedral was unimpressive. The broken walls of the old Moorish fortress stood on the top of far too high a hill to be climbed in tbe staring sunshine of a July day. And even Murray could direct us to nothing else but a plain, bare church, where the banner of St Ferdinand is said to hang, which we found fast shut; and an old Moorish arch, now neatly restored; snd a river, dried up by the biasing sun of a tropical summer, with a railway track running down the middle of Its bed, between groups of wooden shanties. We met womom la black lace mantillas, or else In long, pointed shawls, a gay flower stuck In their hair, and men with clean shaven faces. In low, broad-brimmed bats and wide red belts. We saw plenty of donkeys In bright, gaudy trappings, but this was all the costume. We ought to have known better than to expect mora. Still, somehow. Its absence add ed te the grayness of our first iuipre slon. Century. California's Kins: of Tnnn. The Great Tun of Heidelberg, which for 150 years has been the largest cask In the world and as such has gained fame in history, has been eclipsed by the erection of a monster vat In a vine yard near Fresno, Cal., which will b known as the King of Tuna. The Great Tun held 42.000 yallons, but for years It has not been usd, as the vineyards of Heidelberg Casrl did not produce sufficient grapes. The King of Tuns holds 7U.000 gallons, be ing almost twice as large as the Great Tun. In the construction of the California King of Tuns enough lumber was used te erect a mansion, and two carloads of steel were required for the hoops. The glaut cask stands 30 feet high, ia 26 feet In diameter and will hold thirty carloads of wine. In addition to this monster, there are throe other tuns in the same vineyard, which are larger than the Great Tun, but they are dwarfs alongside the big fellow. The King of Tuns Is built of the na tive redwood of California. The lum ber was ctit especially for It, and but one piece In ten would pass the re quired Inspection, as not a knot or a flaw was allowed. Tbe wood was sea soned for two years before the cask was built The St George vineyard, in which the largest tun in the world was built produces annually a quarter of a million gallons of wine. This enormous vat was not built as a curiosity, but for service, and will be filled each year. George n. Malta, one of the owners of the St. George vineyard, explains that In order to In sure a sufficient supply ef wine that will be of uniform quality it Is neces sary that It shall be mixed together. Two vats filled at the same time and treated as nearly alike as is possible will be found to have a different flavor. The King of Tuns Is one of the most prominent objects In the Fresno Val ley. It towers high over all the other buildings, and can be seen for miles In any direction. It 1 so substantially built that It Is expected to Inst for centuries. Longfellow mentions the Great Tun at Heidelberg In bis "Hype rion." Perhaps some future novelist will weave a romance about the King of Tuns at Fresno. Rome's Water Supply. The city which has not only the best water supply In proportion to Its popu lation, bat also the largest water supply of any city in the world. Is Rome. This Is owing te the fact tbat the ancient Romans built enormous aqueductH which poured Into the city, in the time of the Emperors, 880,000,000 gallons dally, amounting to 100 gallons for each Inhabitant The amount of water now supplied la 200,000,000 gallons daily, amounting to 670 gallons a day for each inhabitant! The reason of the great In crease of the amount per Inhabitant, is, of course, that the population Is very much less now than during the empire. Tbe "vast aqueducts striding on huge arehee across tbe Campagna and still bringing copious supplies of water from tbe Apennines and the Alban hills, are among the most striking features of modern Rome." Compared with Rome, all ether great cities are but poorly sup piled. Chicago, Sidney and Buffalo have about 120 gallons dally per Inhab itant, New Tork 70. Marseilles B0, Paris 80. London 38, Hamburg 12. Manches ter obtaining its water from Lake Thirl mere, and Glasgow from Loch Katrine can both boast an inexhaustible supply of the sweetest kind. He parser!
