The Kitchen Cheerful
"If you have built castles in the air.
▼our work need not be lost: that is
where they should be; now put foun
dations under them."—Thorean.
When homes are planned the house
wife wants to commence with the
kitchen, and here. I think, she is risrht.
It is easier to alter almost any other
room than the kitchen anil no other
room deserves a bit more careful plan
ning.
Whether convenience or cheerfulness
is almost important in this work place
is a mooted question, but it would
seem if cupboards, flour bins and
shelves were all compart and conveni
ent good cheer would reign. It is gen
erally the absence of light that makes
a kitchen gloomy. Often there is no
room over the kitchen and then a sky
light can be fitted in the roof with little
expense. This not »nly gives the nec
essary light, but furnishes a means
of ventilation. Again, the outside
kitchen doors are heavy wooden affairs.
< ut the upper panels out of these and
put in glass. You will be delighted at
the change. The writer knew of a case
of this kind: the cost of the glass lights
was $1.50, or 75 cents a pane: putty,
10 cents, and tacks. 5 cents. The
actual work of setting in the glass
was done by a fourteen-year-old lad in
the family, who "was as pleased as
Punch" at the added cheeriness his
work gave the home.
There is a great deal of comfort lost
to families and a great amount of self
confidence left undeveloped in our
young folk by not permitting them to
do such little helpful tilings as come

CHAPTER I.
Godiva. the Shepherd's Daughter. |
I was dressed in the simple frock of
the shepherd's daughter. My name ;
for the time being was Godiva And
I was about to enact the tirst scene it.
the photoplay by James Oliver Cur
wood. entitled "The Story of the Plood
Red Rose." The director who was pro
ducing the play came to me. saying:
"Why not take your pen in hand and
turn this play into a novel?"
"Maybe 1 will," 1 replied "But first
1 must see whether it develops u story
with sufficient material in it to make
a novel."
And then we began putting the scene
"on"—I playing the leading part of
Godiva, the shepherd's daughter,
whose story I shall set forth here.
Whether this story developed suffi
cient of poetry, romance, adventure
and tragedy to make a novel, you who
read shall be the judge.
*******
Godiva. the shepherd's daughter,
emerged from the pool in which she
had been swimming. It was a pool in
the forest glade, and only the eye of
nightingale and thrush and robin had
access to this bathing place of Godiva,
the shepherd's daughter Just now
the nightingale had ceased its song
and it was the turn of the thrush and
the robin to entertain Godiva as she
emerged from her morning ablutions.
For Just now the sun of three hundred
years agone was rising over the king
dom of Urania.
Even as Venus rose newborn from
the foam-crested wave of the sea. so
now came the lovely Godiva from the
limpid pool in the forest of Urania —
dripping, flushed, blushing, vigorous,
happy. On the moss-carpeted bank
Godiva threw on her frock of white
homespun, low-throated and held to
her supple figure by cord 6 of cotton
that served as a girdle. A shake or
two of her loosened hair that was as
golden as the rising sun—and the toi
let of Godiva was made.
Through the forest aisles she sped
now till she reached a cottage that
stood in the shadow of great oaks and
willows and elms, and facing the far
reaching plain whereon grazed her fa
ther's sheep Far down the plain Go
diva could see the hillocks where the
young shepherds, Biento and Machere,
assistants to Rivarre, the father of
Godiva, watched the (lock by night
and day. And beyond tho flock Godiva
now could see the frowning, battle
mented walls of the royal palace, the
bome of King Leofric and Queen Dul
cinea of Urania.
Beyond tha palace, as Godiva could
see, the sun was now gilding the min
arets of the monnstery of St. Francis.
And as Godiva viewed the monastic
pile beyond the king's palace an ex
cited, eager light of joy came into her
eyes—eyes as blue as the sky of Lom
bardv—and she cried out in sheer ex
ultation :
"Before the sun again gilds yonder
monastery towers I shall belong to
Paulo—my Paulo!"
For this was to be Godiva's wedding
day. She and Paulo, the young and
mighty hunter, had planned to go this
day to yonder monastery, where a holy
friar would unite them.
From within the cottage came now
the sound of the patter of wooden
shoes on a wooden floor. And Godiva
knew that her father had finished his
breakfast and was preparing to go
forth to the plain to view his flocks
and commend his assistants, Biento
and Machere, for their watchfulness.
For it was the kindly way of Rivarre,
the sheep raiser, to encourage with
praise the good work of those who
watched his flocks.
Godiva bounded into the cottaee.
Good Dame Rivarre, her mother, greet
ed her:
"Eat your millet and milk, my
daughter," she said, "and then to
your spinning wheel. For there is
much to do this day."
Rivarre. the girl's father, chuckled.
"You forget, good wife," he said. "Our
daughter Godiva this day journeys to
the monaster) with Paulo."
"Ay! 'tis as you say, Rivarre," the
mother retorted, "but not till night
fall is Godiva's nuptial hour. Where
fore is there not time for her to
spin?"
All this time Godiva was busy with
ner milk and millet, till now she cried:
"My mother, my father! Think you
the holy men of the monastery will
scold a girl of twenty for being as
happy as I? Were I more happy than
I am, dear dears. I think—well!—l
think 1 would be almost wicked."
Then upsprang Godiva and added:
"Nay. mother mine, not for me is the
spinning wheel today. 1 could not sit
etlll even for so long as to spin one
Inch of yonder frock lam going into
the forest, to meet my Paulo. Two
days has he been hunting—to pro
vide venison befitting our wedding
supper And surely now ne< must be
near—and I go to meet him."
Out from the cottage then dashed
the fair Gcdiva and darted again to
the forest. And as she sped, so fleet
of foot, she cried again and again,
"Paulo! O Paulo!" Till presently
came an answering cry: "Godiva! O
Godiva!"—and into view came a young
man with crossbow and carrying
athwart his shoulder?; a deer from
which life had fled because of a bolt
shot with unerring aim from the cross
bow of Paulo. Far famed In Uraala
was Paulo, the crosabowman. who-e
skill oft had inspired the admiration
and envy even of the king's own arch
ers, when these happened to meet
Paulo on the hunt.
Scarcely Is It needful to describe
with minuteness the meeting of these
lovere of three hundred years agone,
for lovers were then precisely what
lovers are today. Hand in hand they
strolled till finally Paulo stopped.
"Hearken!" he said. "Hear you
not. my Qodiva, a song that is yet not
a song, since it is a crooning?"
" Tis Hagar!" cried Godiva. "Hagar
the witch! Hagar, our friend, who
makes potions in her black kettle —
potions that work magic upon those
who partake of them."
They itood now at the entrance to
a cave. Within the dark, gloomy, cav
ernous, sliudderous interior they could
6ee the witch hobbling about a fire,
over which, by means of a rude tripod
of sticks, a kettle was suspended. So
intent was Hagar u her work at
the kettle that she failed to hear the
titter of Godiva without and the light
hearted laughter of Paulo. Godiva
caught up a stick and threw it into
the cave. The stick fell at the feet
of Hagar the witch and attracted thus
her attention. She peered out and
broke into pleased chuckle.
"Enter, my children!" she cried.
"Thou art always welcome."
The lovers entered the cave and
viewed without shudder the hideous
paraphernalia of witchery with which,
in many visits to this home of Hagar,
they had become familiarized. Black
cats there were, with eyes like glow
ing embers. And skulls of men and
women. And parrots that croaked
most horribly. And snakes that kept
their distance yet were none too pleas
ing to the eye in their writhings.
And as for Hagar—Hagar was in ap
pearance just such a witch as rides
upon a broom. She wore a high peaked
cap and her garments were more rag
ged than those of the beggars in the
market place of the capital of Urania.
Her hands were skinny and clawlike
and her hair framed her face in elfish
abandon.
"Behold!" cried Hagar, adding some
rose leaves to the herbs already abrew
in the kettle. "Behold now. my chil
dren. what has been brewed by Hagar
in her cauldron. Let thy young eyes
dwell upon the boiling, seething brew
of Hagar and learn what the wisdom
of Hagar has to teach thee."
With murmured incantations and
crooning of song that was no song, and
gyrating with bony arms around and
around the edge of the pot, she con
tinued:
"See, now, exquisite Godiva, what
the brew reveals. Behold now. brave
Paulo, what the potion discloses. Thou,
"See Now What the Brew Reveals."
Godiva. art here changed by the po
tion into an animal —any animal thou
desirest—a fawn or a cat as black as
black, or even a bird that flics or a
fish that swims."
"Nav, nay, Hagar!" cried Godiva, in
alarm. "Into none of these would I
desire to be changed. If ever, bqcause
of need, I should wish to change from
human form, It would be to reappear
as a flower, some lovely flov. er."
The witch mnde more passes over
the steaming kettle, added a few more
leaves, and then said:
"And thou, Paulo! What seest thou
in the brev? See you tot yourself
lying upon the forest floor with arrow
bolt piercing thy mortal body? And
see! the king's archers pursue thee!
Yet aeother bolt they let fly at thee —
and then—"
"Nay, nay, Hagar!" Interposed
Paulo. "Speak not of prophecies that
offend the ears of my Godiva. Let
thy speech be of pleasant gossip. For
this day, Hagar, my Godiva goes with
me to the holy friar at the monastery,
there to be joined to me as bone of my
bone, for evermore."
"Silonce!" cackled the witch. "Paulo,
I warn thee —beware of the king's
archers. And thou, lock! Godiva,"
she cried, with the vehemence of a
madwoman. "Look now, Godiva! Soe!
The brew discloses the face of the
king—King Leofric of Urania. 'Tis a
face most pleasing, lovely Godiva—yet
in tho king's heart is much evil. See,
Godiva! The king's lips move in
speech. His speech is as honey—but
its sweetness soon turns to gall. Be
ware, Godiva! Bentre of Leofric.
king of Urania!"
"Stop!" said Paulo, much offended.
"Wouldst frighten my Godiva Oi. her
wedding day? What has Godiva in
comnion with his majesty? They are
as like to v ail and speak in passing
as a star with the earth. And m
Godiva is - star, f r "bove the fleshly
king Away with thy evil loretellirgs,
Hagar. Tell u«; what thy brew be
speaks of tMngs more likely than that
my Godiva should beware of the
king!'
"Hist!" Hagar cautioned, looking
forth through the cave entrance. "Hear
you not the sounding of the hunts
man's horn?"
"Ay, that we do!" cried Paulo. "A
hunting party is passing not far dis
tant."
"Ay!" 3aid Hagar. Tis the horn
of the king's huntsmen. The king
himself is uear. And thou, Godiva,

must beware. Avoid the king, Godiva,
as thou wouldst a serpent. If thou
wouldst know the benediction of the
holy man at the monastery this day,
Godiva, 'ware Leofric, king of Uraiia!"
CHAPTER 11.
The King °f Urania.
From the carcass of the deer, which
Paulo the huntsman had left outside
the cave, a haunch of venison was now
presented to Hagar *he witch. Paulo
then again shouldered the animal he
had elain for the nuptial supper and
bade Godiva follow him.
"Come, my Godiva," he said, "we
will away from the cave of the witch
before she can fill your ears with more
of silly prattle of danger that besets
you in the person of the king."
Through the forest then they saun
tered in their love and happiness, till
at last they reached the cottage of
Rivarre the shepherd. There Paulo
set this trophy of the chase on the
wide stone corridor. Mistress Rivarre
came from the kitchen and Paulo fell
to skinning the deer.
"Ay! 'tis goodly viand we shall have
at your wedding supper tonight," said
Mistress Rivarre. "The which is due
to your skill, good Paulo, with the
crossbow."
Jußt then, too, Rlvarre himself joined
the group, returning from his morn
ing visit to the keepers of his flock on
the plains.
"Hail, Paulo," he called to his future
son-in-law! "Welcome to the house of
Rivarre, even though this day you are
to filch my dearest possession. Yet
in all Urania I know of none more
worthy of my Godiva. But hearken!
What comes?"
The mother and daughter had al
ready disappeared within the cottage
to set to work in earnest on the prepa
rations for the wedding supper, at
which many guests would gather. And
now toward the forest the eyes of
Rivarrs and Paulo traveled and this
is what they beheld: A cavalcade led
by one on a horse so richly capari
soned and riding so far in advance of
l the others as to bespeak exalted rank.
And behind the exalted one came
; equerries and archers with crossbows
and courtiers and huntsmen and
menials, the latter carrying many a
carcass of deer slain in the hunt.
Through the picture, too, bolted a pack
of hounds, though just then the master
of the pack sounded his horn for re
treat, and the hounds obediently
checked their bolting and came to bay.
