From a Housekeeper
"Our latest household improvement
Is large and brown and helfty and hails
from Virginia. Her name is Isabella
and we have the lady's permission to
call her Izzy or say the whole thing.
Probably we will learn to say Isabella
after a while, but so far we stutter a
little.
"This morning she asked me where
J kept the bed stick? Now a bed stick
is something new to me, but I saw by
her look of disdain and the way her
two hundred and something pounds
suddenly grew stiff that I was 'mighty
poor white trash' not to have one. So

have one made at once.' A little later

stick and there was sense in it after all.
The article, I will have you know, is
really just a stick (in this case a broom
handle), and after each cover is laid
on the bed Isabelle proceeds to smooth
every wrinkle out with it. I suppose
she is accustomed to feather beds, but
she did give the coverlets a trim, neat
look that was most inviting.
"After watching her make one bed
I saw that she did not need any su
pervision. She turned the mattress end
for end and put the sheets on just
right,—wide hems at the top and nar
row at the bottom and she was suffi
ciently well tutored to get the blankets
even and with the opening where it
should bo. Thanks I give to some care
ful Virginia lady for teaching Isabella
the right way, and to my new "improve
ment' I shall give something substantial
in the way of a ticket to a picture show
or an extra afternoon for herself.
"I wish you could see how dainty my
guest room is now. Perhaps, if f teil
you about it you will visit me. You
ppmember it is a side room, not very
light nor ltrrge. so I used a plain, pink
pebble paper with a white border sten
ciled with rose vine and buds. It was
not difficult to find cretonne that
matched the border and this I used for
curtains. I lined these with dark
sateen and they slide easily 011 a rod
and shut out the light nicely.
"All the furniture for this room was
worn so I repaired it using white
enamel. As it looked plain and cold I
marked a little design 011 the head and
foot board of the bed and 011 the chair
backs and then touched it delicately
with piuk. .It is so simple that even
I could not fail and the result is that
this room looks sweetly pretty, whole
some and clean.
"I must not forget about the floor.
I sewed many carpet balls this winter
and they made a rug large enough to
do for this room. It is vefy light and
altogether suitable for it can be washed.
"Ho come and see me and watch Isa
bella make beds with a bedstick,
Nellie."

".Peace be with you, fatou Anni,.
said the older of the Bedouins.
"Are you a cousin or a brother that
you know my name?" asked the an
cient woman.
"Everyone knows the name of th®
oldest woman in the Sahara,'' said
Hainmet Abou, "and the victorious are
always brothers.'"
"What do you want with me?" she
asked, thinking or the neipiessnesß ot
the village.
Hammet Abou pointed to the hut.
"You have a white captive In there
la he alive?"
"What is that to you, son of a dog?"
"The mother.of many sons Is wise,"
said Hammet Abou portentously, "but
she does not know that this man car
ries the Evil Eye. His dog carries the
Evil 'Eye for his enemies. Your people j
have gone to battle. Unless this man
is cast out from your village, your j
young men, your grandsons and your
sons will be destroyed."
The old woman regarded him calmly. I
"1 do not. fear it," she said tran- :
qullly "We have had corn and oil In ]
plenty. He is sacred."
For the first time she looked at his
companion, tall and slender and evi
dently younger.
"You favor the coward Franks," she
said in a high voice. "You have come
to fall upon us In our desolation."
She was about to raise the peculiar j
wall which would have summoned to
her all the women of the village The I
dogs of the place had already begun to •
show their noses, and the villagers
were drawing near the people under
the palms. Now the young man began
to Bpeak swiftly in a language that she
did not understand, addressing his j
comrade. The language was so curious \
that the woman, with the cry arrested
Dn her lips, stared at him. Pointing to
nlB companion, Hammet Abou said:
"Fatou Annl, this great lord kisseß
your hand. He says that he wishes
he could speak your beautiful lan-!
guage. He does not come from the j
enemy; he does not come from the
French. He comes from two women
of his people by whom the captive is j
beloved. He says that you are the |
mother of sons and grandsons, and
that you will deliver this man up into
our hands in peace."
The narrow fetid streets were be
ginning to fill with the figures of j
women, their beautifully colored I
robes fluttering in the light, and there j
were curious eager children who came
running, naked save for the bangles
upon their arms and ankles.
Pointing to them, Hammet Abou I
said to the old sagq:
"See, you are only women here, I
I Fatou Annl. Your men are twenty j
| miies farther aouth. We have a cara- I
van of fifty men all armed, Fatou j
Annl. They camp just there, at the '
! edge of the oasis. They are waiting. '
| We come in peace, old woman; we |
' come to take away the Evil Eye from j
i your door; but if you anger us and i
[ rave against us, the dogs and women |
of your town will fall upon you and j
destroy every breast among you."
She began to beat her palms to
! gether, murmuring:
I "Allah! Allah!"
"Hush," said the Bedouin fiercely,
j "take us to the captive, Fatou Anni."
Fatou Annl did not. stir. She i
pulled aside the veil from her with
ered face, so that ber great eys
looked out at the two men. She saw
her predicament, but she was a subtle
Oriental. Victory had been in her
! camp and in her village; her sons and
! grandsons had never been vanquished.
Perhaps the dying man in the hut
would bring the Evil Eye! He was
j dying, anyway—he would not live
'■ twenty-four hours. She knew th«
! for her ninety years of life had see
I many eyes close on the oasis under
| the hard blue skies.
To the taller of the two Bedouins
j she said in Arabic:
"Fatou Anni is nearly one hundred
i years old. She has borne twenty chil
dren, she has had fifty grandchildren;
she has seen many wives, many brides
| and many mothers. She does not be
lieve the sick man has the Evil Eye.
She is not afraid of your fifty armed
j men. . Fatou Anni is not afraid. Al
lah is great. She will not give up tb<s
Frenchman because of fear, nor will
she give him up to any man. She
gives him to the women of his people."
With dignity and majesty and with
great beauty of carriage, the old wom
an turned and walked toward her hut
, and the Bedouins followed her.
CHAPTER XXII.
Into the Desert.
A week after the caravan of the Due
; de Tremont left Algiers, Julia Red
mond camo unexpectedly to the villa
of Madame de la Maine at an early
morning hour. Madame de la Maine
saw her standing on the threshold of
her bedroom door.
"Chere Madame," Julia said, "I am
leaving today with a dragoman and
twenty servants to go into the desert."
Madame de la Maine was still in
bed. At nine o'clock she read her pa
pers and her correspondence.
"Into the desert—alone!"
Julia, with her cravache in her
gloved hands, smiled sweetly though
she was very pale. "I had not thought
of going alone, Madame," she replied
with charming assurance, "I knew you
would go with me."
On a chair by her bed was a wrap
per of blue silk and lace The com
tesse sprang up and then thrust her
feet into her slippers and stared at
Julia.
"What are you going to do in the
desert?"
•vvaicn: ■
"Yes, yes!" nodded Madame de la
Maine. "And your aunt?"
"Deep In a bazaar for the hospital,"
smiled Miss Redmond.
Madame de la Maine regarded her
• slender friend with admiration and
envy. "Why hadn't I thought of It?"
She rang for her maid.
"Because your great-grandfather
W»s not a pioneer: MISS Redmond
answered.
The sun which, all day long, held
the desert in its burning embrace,
went westward in his own brilliant
caravan.
"The desert Diossoms like a rose,
Therese."
"Like a rose?" questioned Madame
de la Maine.
She was sitting In the door of her
tent; her white dress and her white
hat gleamed like a touch of enow
; upon the desert's face. Julia Red

i khaki riding-habit the color of the
: sand, blended with the desert as
: though part of it. She sat up as she
I spoke.
"How divine! See!" She pointed
to the stretches of the Sahara before
her. On every side they Bpread away
j as far as the eye could reach, suave,
: mellow, black, undulating Anally to
small hillocks with corrugated sides,
1 as a group of little sandhills rose soft
|ly out of the sealike plain. "Look,
! Therese!"
I Slowly, from ocher and gold the
I color changed; a faint wavelike blush
' crept over the sands, which reddened,
! paled, faded, warmed again, took
! depth and grew Intense like flame.
"The heart of a rose! N'est-ce pas,
I Therese?"
"I understand now what you mean,"
said madaine. The comtesse was not
a dreamer. Parisian to the tips of
heij fingers, elegant, fine, she had lived
a conventional life. Therese had been
taught to conceal her emotions. She
! had been taught that our feelings
i matter very little to any one but our
| selves. She had been taught to go
j lightly, to avoid serious things. Her
| great-grandmother had gone lightly to
i the scaffold, exquisitely courteous till
the last.
"I ask your pardon if I jostled you in
the tumbrel," the old comtesse had
said to her companion on the way to
, the guillotine. "The springs of the cart
; are poor"—and she went up smiling.
In the companionship of the Ameri
| can girl, Therese de la Maine had
} thrown ofT restraint. If the Marquise
i d'Esclignac had felt Julia's influence,
i Therese de la Maine, being near her
I own age, echoed Julia's very feeling.
Except for their dragotnan and their
1 servants, the two women were alone
j in the desert.
Smiling at Julia, Madame de la
| Maine said: "I haven't been so far
from the Rue de la Paix in my life."
"How can you speak of the Rue de
! la Paix, Therese?"
"Only to show you how completely I
| have left it behind."
Julia's eyes were fixed upon the lim
itless sands, a sea where a faint line

that she believed to be her life*
"This is the seventh day, Therese!"
"Already you are as brown as an
Arab, Julia!"
"You as well, ma chere amie!"
"Robert does not like dark women,"
said the Comtesse de la Maine, and
rubbed her cheek. "I must wear two
veils."
"Look, Therese!"
Across the face of the desert the
glow began to withdraw its curtain.

desert melted and then grew colder—lt

a tea-rose.
"Like a rose!" Julia murmured,
"smell its perfume!" She lifted her
head, drinking in with delight the
fragrance of the sands.
"Ma chere Julia," gently protested
the comtesse, lifting her head, "per
fume, Julia!" But she breathed with
her friend, while a sweetly subtle, in
toxicating odor, as of millions and mil
lions of roses, gathered, warmed, kept,
then scattered on the airs of heaven,
intoxicating her.
To the left were the huddled tents of
their- attendants. No soonei had the
sun gone down than the Arabs com
menced to sing—a song that Julia had
especially liked:
Love Is like a sweet perfume.
It comes, it escapes.
When It's present. It intoxicates;
When It's a memory, it brings tears.
Love is like a sweet breath.
It comes und It escapes.
