Henrietta D. Grauel
Porch Furniture
The "flxin' up" idea is absorbing
much of our attention as warm weather
approaches and it should not be con
fined entirely to the interior of our
houses. The outside should be made as
attractive as possible and a reasonable
amount of work in yard and oil porches
will give large returns in comfort.
If a porch is too sunny the thing
to do is to arrange shade by the use
of vines, awnings or bamboo curtains.
These are not costly and, in the city,
answer two purposes, giving both shade
and privacy.
Hand made rugs arc charming (or
summer use on porch and in summer cot
tages. It is surprising more women do
not take up this useful, fascinating
handiwork. The necessary utensils and
dyes are not expensive to buy nor com
plicated to use.
AVhatever sort of rug you decide on
should be in harmony with the re
mainder of the furniture, else your
porch will look like a junk shop.
As willow furniture is very light to
move about, easy to dust and wears for
a generation it is the most practical.
With it the Japanese matting may be
used and the effect will be cool iii the
hottest weather.
To prolong the life of any rug that
must be taken up frequently it is a
good idea to sew four small brass rings
to the four corners of the rug. These

When Tremont, with great hesita
: tlon, took a few steps away from
them and she stood face to face with
1 the creature who had been with Sab
ron and seen him fall, she said earn
-1 estly: .
j "Now apeak without reserve. Tell
\ me everything."
The face of the man wag trans
formed. He became human, devoted,
ardent.
"Excellency," he said swiftly In his
halting. French, "J love Monsieur le
Capltalne. He was so kind and such
a brave soldier. I want to go to find
Monsieur le Capltaine, but I am 111
and too weak to walk. I believe I
know where he is want to go."
The girl breathed:
"Oh, can it be possible that what
you say Is true, Hammet AbouT
Would you really go If you could?"
The man made, with a graceful
gesture of his hand, a map In the
air.
"It was like this?" he said; "I
think he drew himself up the bank.
I followed the track of his blood. I
was too weak to go any farther, Ex
cellency."
"And how could you go now?" she
asked.
"By caravan, like a merchant, se
cretly. I would find him."
Julia Redmond put out a slim hand,
white as a gardenia. The native lift
ed It and touched his forehead with It.
"Hammet Abou," she said, "go
away for tonight and come tomorrow
—we will see you." And without
waiting to speak again to Monsieur
de Tremont, the native slid away out
of the garden like a shadow, as
though his limbs were not weak with
disease and his breast shattered by
•i Monsieur de Tremont had
N ' once around the garden, keep
ins his eyes nevertheless on the
group, he came back toward Julia
Redmond, but not qillckly enough, for
she ran up the stairs and into the
house with Sabron's packet In her
hand.
CHAPTER XVIII.
Two Lovely Women.
There was music at the Villa des
Rougalnvllleas. Miss Redmond sang;
not "Good-night, God Keep You Safe,"
but other thlngß. Ever since her talk
with Hammet Abou she had been,
If not gay. In good spirits, more like
her old self, and the Marquise d'Escllg
nac began to think that the image of
Charles de Sabron had not been cut
too deeply upon her mind. The mar
quise, from the lounge in the shadow
of the room, enjoyed the picture
(Sabron would not have added It to
his collection) of her niece at the
piano and the Due de Tremont by her
side. The Comtesse de la Maine sat I
In a little shadow of her own, musing
and enjoying the picture of the Due
de Tremont and Miss Redmond very
indifferently. She did not sing; she
had no parlor accomplishments. She
was poor, a widow, and had a child.
She was not a brilliant match.
From where he stood, Tremont
could see the Comtesse de la Maine
in her little shadow, the oriental
decorations i background to her '
slight Parisian figure, and a little out
of the shadow, the bright aigret in
her hair danced, shaking its sparkles :
of fire. She looked infinitely sad and
infinitely appealing. One bare arm
was along the back of her lounge. She I
leaned her head upon her hand.
After a few moments the Due de !
Tremont quietly left the piano and )
Miss Redmond, and went and sat |
down beside the Comtesse de la
Maine, who, in order to make a place j
for him, moved out of the shadow.
Julia, one after another, played
songs she loved, keeping her fingers
resolutely from the notes that wanted
to run into a single song, the music,
the song that linked her to the man
whose life had become a mystery.
She glanced at the Due de Tremont
and the Comtesse de la Maine. She
glanced at her aunt, patting Mimi,
who, freshly washed, adorned by pale
blue ribbon, looked disdainful and
princely, and with passion and feeling
she began to .sing the song that
seemed to reach beyond the tawdry
room of the villa In Algiers, and to go
into the desert, trying in sweet in
tensity to speak and to comfort, and
as she sat so singing to one man,
Sabron would have adored adding
that picture to his collection.
The servant came up to the mar
quise and gave her a message. The
lady rose, beckoned Tremont to fol
low her, and went out on the veranda,
followed by Mimi. Julia stopped play
ing and went over to the Comtesse de
la Maine.
"W here have my aunt and Monsieur
de Tremont gone, Madame?"
"To see someone who has come to
suggest a camel excursion, I believe."
"He chooses a curious hour."
"Everything is curious in the East.
Mademoiselle," returned the com
tesse. , "I feel as though my own life
were turned upside down."
"We are not far enough in the East
for that," smiled Julia Redmond. She
regarded the cqmtesse with her frank
girlish scrutiny. There was in it a
fine truthfulness and utter disregard
of all the barriers that long epochs of
etiquette put between souls.
Julia Redmond knew nothing of
French society and of the deference
due to the arts of the old worid. She
knew, perhaps, very little of anything.
She was young <ind unschooled. Bhe
knew, as some women know, how to
feel, and how to be, and how to love.
She was as honest as her ancestors.
among wnose traditions is tne story
, that one of them could never tell a
, lie.
i Julia Redmond sat beside the Com
. tease de la Maine, whose elegance she
. admired enormously, and taking one
I ot the lady's hands, with a Trank n*
I ing she asked in her rich young voice:
"Why do you tolerate me, Madame?"
. j "Ma chere enfant," exclaimed the
comtesse. "Why, you are adorable."
"It is terribly good of you to say
, so," murmured Julia Redmond. "It
i shows how generous you are."
, "But you attribute qualities to me
I ; I do not deserve, Mademoiselle."
I "You deserve them and much more,
[ Madame. I loved you the first day I
. ; saw you; no one could help loving
you."
Julia Redmond was Irresistible. The
, Comtesse de la Maine had remarked
her caprices, her moods, her sadness.
I , She had seen that the good spirits
] were false and, as keen women do,
she had attributed it to a love affair
i with the Due de Tremont. The girl's
I frankness was contagious. The Com
-1 tesse de la Maine murmured:
"I think the same of you, ma chere,
i vous etes charmante."
t ' Julia Redmond shook her head. She
j did not want compliments. The eyes
of the two women met and read each
other.
"Couldn't you be frank with me,
I Madame? It is so easy to be frank."
It was, indeed, impossible for Julia
Redmond to be anything else. The
I comtesse, who was only a trifle older
than the young girl, felt like her
mother just then. She laughed.
"But be frank—about what?"
; "You see," said Julia Redmond
; swiftly, "I care absolutely nothing for
' the Due de Tremont, nothing."
"You don't love him?" returned Ma
dame de la Maine, with deep accentu-
I ation. "Is it possible?"
The girl smiled.
"Yes, quite possible. I think he is
i a perfect dear. He is a splendid
friend and I am devoted to him, but
I don't love him at all, not at all."
"Ah!" breathed Madame de la
Maine, and she looked at the Ameri
can girl guardedly.
For a moment it was like a passage
j of arms between a frank young In
! dian chief and a Jesuit. Julia, as it
were, 6hook her feathers and her
beads.
"And I don't care in the least about
being a duchess! My father made
his money in oil. I am not an aristo
crat like my aunt," she said.
"Then," said the Comtesse de la
Maine, forgetting that she was a
Jesuit, "you will marry Robert do
Tremont simply to please your aunt?"
"But nothing on earth would ln
j duce me to marry him!" cried Julia
| Redmond. "That's what I'm telling
! you, Madame. I don't love him!"
The Comtesse de la Maine looked
at her companion and bit her lip.
: She blushed more warmly than is per
mitted in the Faubourg St.-Germain,
but she was young and the western
influence is pernicious.
"I saw at once that you loved him,"
said Julia Redmond frankly. "That's
why I speak as I do."
The Comtesse de la Maine drew
back and exclaimed,
j "Oh," said Julia Redmond, "don't
deny it. I shan't like you half so well j
: if you do. There is no shame in be- '
ing in love, is there? —especially when
j the man you love, loves you."
The Comtesse de la Maine broke
down, or, rather, she rose high. She
rose above all the smallness of con-
I vention and the rules of her French
I forim.l education.
"You are wonderful," she said,-
laughing softly, her eyes full of tears.
| "Will you tell me what makes you
; think that he is fond of me?"
"But you know it so well," said
j Julia. "Hasn't he cared for you for
j a long time?"
Madame de la Maine wondered just
how much Julia Redmond had heard,
and as there was no way of finding
out, she said graciously:
"He has seemed to love me very
dearly for many years; but I am
poor; I have a child. He is am
bitious and he is the Due de Tre
mont."
"Nonsense," said Julia. "He loves 1
you. That's all that counts. You
will be awfully happy. You will
marry the Due de Tremont, won't !
you? There's a dear."
"Happy," murmured the other worn- i
an, "happy, my dear friend, I never
dreamed of such a thing!"
"Dream of it now," said Julia Red
mond swiftly, "for it will come true." |

Spark From Sawmill Engine Causes
Blaze in Lancaster County
Lebanon, April 7. —A spark from a
stationary engine in Morris' Hoi linger's
sawmill caused a fire yesterday after
noon in White Oak, Lancaster county,
near the Lebanon county line, that
might have resulted in the destruction
of the entire town but for the combined
efforts ot' its populace to confine it to
the district that was affected.
A squad of men hurried to Penryn
and returned with a steam fire engine
anil u steady stream was secured from
a nearby brook. The fire started short
ly after noon and was not entirely out
until late in the day. Lumber iii the
Hollinger mill smouldered four hours
after t'he danger had been past.
