I had been away front New York
for several weeks, and had returned
only that afternoon. Thus, the spirit
of unrest acquired by travel was still
upon ni». It was nearly holiday week,
and those congenial friends 1 might
have called upon, to while away the
evening, were either busily occupied
with shopping or were out of town:
and T determined not to go to the club

1 read this paragraph with a shrug,
and that one with a smirk. I was in
no manner surprised at the announce

had always been certain this girl
would do som» such fool thing That
Mrs Hyphen-Bonds was giving a fare
well dinner at the Waldorf, prior to
her departure to Europe, interested
my curiosity not in the least degree.
It would be all the same to me if she
never came back. None of the wishy
washy tittle-tattle in'erested me. in
fact. There was only one little six
line paragraph that really caught me.
On Friday night (that is to sa>. 'he
right of my adventures in Blan'uhiret,
tli,? Hunt Club was to give a charity
masquerade dance This grasped my
adventurous spirit by the throat and
refused to let go
The atmosphere surrounding the
parag-aph was spirituous with en
chantment. There was a genuine
novelty about this dance. Two packs
of playing cards had been sent out as
tickets: one pack to the ladies and
one to the gentlemen Charming idea,
wasn't it? These cards were to he
shown at the door, together with ten
dollars, but were to be retained by
the recipients till two o'clock (supper
time', at which moment everybody
was to unmask and take his partner,
who held the corresponding card, in to
supper Its newness strongly appealed
to me. I found myself reading the
paragraph over and over.
By .Tove. what an inspiration!

stables and sheds, and the fame of its

rear round It stood back from the j
sea about four miles and was within
five miles of the village. There was
a fine course inland, a cross-country j
going of not less than twenty miles, |
a shooting-box. and excellent golf
links. In the winter it was cozy; in
the summer i* was idea).
I was intimately acquainted with the i
ciub s M F. H.. Teddy Hamilton. We
had done the Paris-Rerlin run in my ;
racing car tbe summer before. If I i
hadn't known him so well. I might
still have been in durance vile, next I
-ioor to jail, or securely inside. I had
frequently dined with him at the club
during the summer, and he had offered
to put me up; but as I knew no one
intimately but himself. 1 explained tbe
futility of such action. Besides, my ,
horse wasn't a hunter; and I was rid
inc him less and less. It Is no pleas
ure to go "parking" along the bridle
paths of Central Park. For myself, I J
want a hill country and something
!!to forty miles, straight away; that's
riding.
The fact that F knew no one but i
Teddy added zest to the inspiration |
which had seized me. For 1 deter
mined to attend that dance, happen
what might. It would be vastly more
entertaining than a possibly dull the- i
atrtea! performance. (It was!)
I called for a messenger and dis
patched him to the nearest drug store
for a pack of playing cards; and
while 1 waited for his return I casu
all\ glanced at the other diners. At
my table—one of those long marble
topued affairs by the wall—there was
an old man reading a paper, and the
handsomest girl I had set eyes upon
in a month of moons. Sometimes the
word handsome seems an Inferior ad
jective. She *as beautiful, and her
half-hidden eyes told me that she waa
anywhere but at Mouquln'a. What a
head of hair! Pine as a spider's web.
and the daiz'.'.ng yeliow of a wheat
fle;d in a sun shower! The Irregu
larity of her features made them all
the more interesting. I was an artist
!n an amateur way, and 1 mentally
painted in that head against a Rubens
background. The return of the mes
senger brouaht me back to earth; for
1 confess that ray imagination had
already leaped far Into the future, and
this« girl across the way was nebulous
ly connected with it.
1 took the pack of cards, ripped off
the covering, tossed aside the joker
(though. re:uly, I ought to have re
tained if! > and began shuffling the
shiny pasteboards I dare say that
those around me sat up and took no
tic?. It was by no means a common
sight to see a man gravely shuffling a
pack of cards in a public restaurant.
Nobody interfered, doubtless because
nobody knew exactly what to do in
she face of such an act, for which no
adequate laws had been provided. A
waiter stood solemnly at the end of
the table, scratching his chin thought
fully. wondering whether he should
report this peculiarity of constitution
and susceptibility occasioning certain
peculiarities of effect from impress
of extraneous influences (vide Web
ster*. synonymous with idiocrasy and
known as idiosyncrasy. It was quite
possible that I was the first man to
establish such a precedent in Monsieur
Mouquin's restaurant. Thus. 1 aroused
only passive curiosity.
From tie corner of mv eye I ob
served the old gentleman opposite.
He was peering over the top of his
paper, and 1 could see by the glitter In
his eye that he was a confirmed player
of solitaire. The girl, however, still
appeared to be in a dreaming state.
1 have no doubt every one who saw
me though! that anarchy was abroad
arain. or that Sherlock Holmes had
entered into his third incarnation.
Finally I squared the pack, took a
long breath, and cut. I tu-ned up the
card. It was the ten spot of hearts.
I considered this most propitious,
hearts being my long suit in every
thing but love. —love having not yet
crossed my path. 1 put the card in
my wallet, and w-as about to toss the
rest of the pack under the table, when
a woman's voice stayed my hand.
"Don't throw them away. Tell my
fortune first."
I looked up. not a little surprised.
It was the beautiful young girl who
had spoken. She was leaning on her

elbows, her chin proppod tn her palms,
and the light in her gray chatoyant
eyes was wholly innocent and mis
chievous. In Monsieur Mouquln's cel
lar people are rather Bohemian, not
to say friendly; for it is the rendez
vous of artists. literary men and jour
nalists. a clan that holds formality
in contempt.
"Tell your fortune?" I repeated, par
rot-like.
"YPS."
"Your mirror can tell/that more ac
cu-ately than I can.'' I "replied with a
frank glance of admiration.
She drew her shoulders together
and dropped them "T spoke to you,
sir, because I believed you wouldn't
say anything so commonplace as that.
When one sees a man soberly shuffling
a pack of cards in a place like this,
one naturally eipecta originality."
"Well, perhaps you caught me oC
my guard,"—humbly. "I am original.
Did you ever before witness this per
formance in a public restaurant?"—
making the cards purr.
"I can not say I have," —amused.
"Well, no more bav* I!"
"Why, then do you do It?" —with re
newed interest.
"Shall I tell your fortune?"
"Not now. I had much rather you
would tell me tli* meaning of this
play."
I leaned toward her and whispered
mysteriously: The truth is, I belong
to a secret society, and I was cutting
the cards to see whether or not I
should blqw up the postoffice to-night
or the police station. You mustn't
tell anybody."
"Oh!" She started back from the
table. "You do not look it," she added
suddenly.

Then the old man laughed, and the
girl laughed, and I laughed;-and I
wasn't quite sure that the grave
waiter did not crack the ghost of a
smile —In relief.
"And what, may I ask. was the fatal
card?" inquired the old man, folding
his paper.
"The are of spades; we always
choose that gloomy card in secret so
cieties. The-e is something deadly
and suggestive about it," I answered
morbidly.
"Indeed."
"Yes. Ah. if only you knew the ter

"Fudge!" said the girl.
"Tommy-rot!" said the amiable old
gentleman.
"Uncle, his hair is too short for an

"And his collar too Immaculate."

"We are obliged to disguise our
selves at times," I explained. "The
police are alwaya meddling. It la dis

"You have some purpose, humorous
or serious," said the girl shrewdly.
"A man does not bring a pack of
cards —"
"I didn't bring them; I sent out for

" —bring a pack of cards here simply

tranquilly.

a little advertising."
"Now, that has a plausible sound."
fhe admitted, folding her hands under
her chin. "It must be an Interesting

"Oh, I find It rather monotonous In
the winter; but in the summer it is

"You will pardon my niece." inter
polated the old gentleman, coughing a
bit nervously. If she annoys you—"
"T'ncle!"—reproachfully.
"Heaven forfend!" I exclaimed er.g
erly. "There is a charm in doing uu
conventional things; and most people
do not realise it. and are stupid."
"Thank you. sir," said the girl, amil
ing. She was evidently enjoying her
self; so was I, for that matter. "Do a
trick for me," she commanded pres
ently.
1 smiled weakly. I couldn't have
done a trick with the cards, —not if
my life had depended upon it. But I
rather neatly extricated myself from
the trap.
"I never do any tricks out of buai
ness hours."
Tncle, give the gentleman ten
J cents; I want to see him do a sleight
| of-hand trick."
Her uncle, readily entering into the
! spirit Qf the affair, dived into a pocket
and produced the pifce of silver. It
looked as if I were caught.
"There! this may make it worth
your while," the girl said, shoving the
coin in my direction.
But again I managed to slide under;
I wa3 not to be caught.
"It is my regret to say,"—frowning
slightly, "that regularity in my busi

"Fantoccini." misir.gly. "That's

"I know it. but the dirue museum

She laughed and slid the dime back
to her uncle.
"I'm afraid you are an impostor,"
she said.
"I'm afraid so. too," I confessed, j

Ay, Hagar the witch lay on the
floor of the cave, still in the death
j that had overtaken her. And a cry
of mortal anguish welled from the
stricken heart of Paulo the huntsman.
For who now could restore the rose
to human form? Hagar alone pos
; sessed the magic power of restora
' tion. And Hagar was dead.
Paulo took the white rose from his
bosom and caressed it. and his hot
tears fell upon it; and Paulo could feel
his heart bleeding within him, and
. he seemed like to suffocate with the
grief that was overwhelming him.
I Hour after hour Paulo remained be
side the witch, beseei hiiig the stilled
form to awaken, telling himself it was
all only a dream and tnat Hagor was
only asleep nnd would presently awake
and give him hack his beiored Godivn.
Rut hour after hour the form of
Hagar Ihe w.tch remained in stillness
so awesome 11 • itt Paulo at last arose
and left the cave forever.
That n'sh*, while the shepherds,
Biento and Machore, assistants to Ri
varre th« sheep owner, watched their
flock"? a dark form loomed near. It
was Paulo. He told them his story—
his story, too. of the white rose, and
bade them take the tale to Rivarre
the shepherd and his wife, the father
and mother of the Ice- Godiva. And
when Paulo had finished his narrative
the good shepherds bade him in alarm
thus:
"Fly into the mountains Pr.ulo. tliou
must. For wert thou to be seen on the
plains or in the forest by the king
or any of h's men death would speed
ily overtake thee."
"Kay," responded Paulo "Not to
the mountains will I fly. Right here
on plain and in forest will i remain—
till all the king's men of today—and
even the king himself, if that be pos
sible— (shall succumb to the bolts
from my crossbow And to achieve
my purpose, thou, Biento, and thou,
Machere, without word to living soul
or to Virgin or yet to monk—shall
bring to me nightly supply of ar
rows And as a beginning thou shalt
tomorrow night bring me a crossbow
r.nd a tirs* quiver oT arrows, each one
of which shall find the heart of a
king's man. till all th( who shared
in rc jbing me forever of my Godiva
shall lie upon the ground in death.
1 have sworn it, my friends—and so
shall It be.'
A year passed. And in that time full
a score of the king's men perished
with shaft in his heart while hunting
the forest. Aiid once, even, a shaft
from a crossbow jarely escaped tho
heart of King Leofric.
Anu throughout Urania went forth
the report that in the torest dwelt a
wild man. Some had even seen him.
le was clothed i sheepskins about
his waist, and no garment other han
this covered his nakedness. Ano with
'he crossbow ho was past .aaster,
greater in archery than even the most
expert of the king's v.n archers.
All in the iorest were safe, it
s°emed, except just alone the retain
ers of King Leofric. Thus the peas
ants had learned to have no fear of
the wild roan, v.hile the king's men
suffered torments of fear each time
they journeyed forth from the castle
into the forest to hunt with King Leof
ric.
And so time passed, till the day
came when a year and a day had gone
forever—a year and a day from the
night on which Godiva became a white
rcse. And all this time the white rose
was fastened about the • breast of
Paulo the crossbowinan, so that the
rose lay ever next his heart.
And now, on this day that marked
the passing of a year and a day in the
life of the white rose, Paulo shot yet
again another bolt from his crossbow
and one of the king's men fell. And
alas tor Paulo! One of the king's men
saw the wild man and let fly a shaft

from his crossbow. Straight to the
breast of Paulo sped the shaft—and

What Is the Real Chinese Way to Cook Rice?
The Chinese have as inanv ways of
preparing riee as we have. They use it
with fish, with beans and oil and in
the same way we use potatoes—as a
vegetable.
The unpolished rice is always used
abroad; it is considered most whole
some by some persons, while others con
tend that it is inferior to the improved
polished article. It is a dark unat
tractive dish compared to polished Car
olina Point.; or Japanese Pearl rice.
The Chinese have a closely woven
willow basket in which the riee is
placed and then steamed over boiling
water until it is tender. They also
cook it in a great quantity of water
and drain it dry when it is cooked. I
have never heard that they excelled in
cooking this dish.
The best way to cook rice is to wash
it until the coating is removed. Put
three times as much water in a sauce
pan as von have rice, salt this and cook
the rice in this fifteen minutes. If the
rice is new, that is of recent crop, it
will be tender and may be drained and
served.
Curried Rice and Tomato. Mix one
teaspoon of curry powder with a little
butter and add it to a cup of boiled
rice and one-half cup of strained tomato
sauce. Season with salt, heat and serve
as a vegetable.
Southern cooks seem to have the best
method of cooking rice so that the
grains are whole, white and tender.

Rice is the most healthful of all
cereals because it digests so easily and

that in rice eating countries one never
finds dyspepsia or indigestion, or sim
