' 'lf was due to the most stupendous
exertion of self restraint on my part
that I said, "Well. I'll be Jiggered!"
Her audacity staggered me.
"Madame," I exploded, "will you be
food enough to listen to me? I am not
to be trifled with. Tomorrow some
time I shall enter the east wing of this
building If I have to knock down all
the doors on the place. Do you under
stand, madame?"
"I do hope, Mr. Smart, you can ar

will afford me a great deal of pleasure
to give you some tea. May I expect
you at S or thereabouts?"
Her calmness exasperated me. 1

cried out "First you make yourself

"How awfnlly stern you are!"

"Wait!" she cried. "Are jrou really. 1
truly In earnest?"
"Most emphatically!"
"Then I—l shall surrender," she said
▼ery slowly and seriously, I was glad
to observe.
"That's more like it!" I cried enthu

"On one cosdiUop," she said. "You
must agree In ndrance to let me staj

"I aball be the sole judge of that
madame," I retorted, with some dig

ting my brows, "how am I to get Intc I
your side of the castle? Schmlck says j
he's lost the keys."
A good deal depended on her answer
"They shall be delivered to you to
morrow morning, Mr. Smart," she said
aoberly. "Good night"
The little window closed with a bnap ;
■nd I was left alone in the smiling;
moonlight I was vastly excited, ever i
thrilled by the prospect of a sleeplessl
night
"Britton," I said later, "I want to bej
called at 7 o'clock sharp In the morn
lng." Noting his polite struggle to con '
ceal his astonishment, I told him of mj 1
second encounter with the lady acrose
the way.
"She won't be expecting you at 7,'
sir," he remarked. "And, as for that |
she may be expecting to call on you
instead of the other way around."
"Right!" said I, considerably dashed j
"Besides, sir, would It not be safei'
to wait till tbe tourist party has come
and gone?"
"No tourists ienter this place tomor
row or any other day," 1 declared
firmly.
"Well, I'd suggest waiting Just thf
same, sir." said lie. evidently inspired.
"Confound them!" I growled, some
how absorbing bis presentiment
He besltated for a moment near the j
door.
"Will yon put in the telephone, sir?"
he asked respectfully.
Very curiously I was thinking of it'
at that Instant.
"It really wouldn't be a bad Idea.
Britton," I said, startled into commit '
tiug myself. "Save us a great deal of
legging It over town and all that sort
of thing, eh?"
"Yes, sir. What I was about to sug

convenient sir, you see, for all par

"I see," said I, impressed, and ther
repeated it, a little more impressed
after reflection. "I see. You are a
very resourceful fellow, Britton. I an:
Inclined to bounce all of the Scbmicks

would go to prove she's related in

"1 should consider it to be more that
likely, sir," said Britton, with a per
fectly straight face. He must bav<

Inane maunderlngs. "Pardon me, sir
but wouldn't it be a tiptop Idea tc
have it out with tbe Scbmicks to

"Excellent idea, Britton. We'll hav«

1 am a very old man," he whined.
"I do," said he, with a great deal
more wit than 1 thought be possessed.
"I have been talking with the lady
this evening," said 1.
"Yes, mein herr; 1 know," said he.
"Oh. you do, eh? Weil, will you be
good enough to tell me what Is the
meaning of all this two faced, under

set upon shielding her? What crime
has she committed? Tell me at once,

"And still are, I suspect!" I cried
angrily.
Mr. Poopendyke's common senst
came in very handily at this critical
Juncture. He counseled me to let th«
matter rest until the next morning
when it was reasonable to expect tlx
lady herself would explain everything
However, we forced something oul
of Schmlck before bis stalwart sons
came tramping up the stairs to rescut
him. The old man gave us a touch ol
Inside history concerning Scbloss Roth
hoefen and Its erstwhile powerful bar
ons.
About the middle of the nineteenth
century the last of the real barons-1
the powerful, landowning, despotic
barons, I mean— enme to the end of hit
fourscore years and ten and was laid
away with great pomp and glee by th«
people of tbe town across the river
He was tbe last of the Rothhoefens
for he left no male belr. His twe
daughters had married Austrian noble
men, and neither of them bad a malt
descendant The estate, already In a
state of financial as well a; physical
disintegration, fell Into the bnnds ol
women and went from bad to worst
so rapidly thnt long before the last
quarter of the century was fairly be
gun the castle and tbe reduced bold
lngs slipped away from the Rotbboef
ens altogether and Into the control o)
the father of the count from whom I
purchased tbe property. The count's
father, it appears, was a distiller o(
great wealth in bis day and a man ol
action. Unfortunately be died befort
he had the chance to carry out hi?
projects In connection with the reha
bllltatlon of Scbloss Rothhoefen. even
then a deserted, ramshackle resort foi
paying tourists and a Mecca for an
tiqne and picture dealers.
The new count, my Immediate pre
decessor, was not long In dissipating
the preat fortune left by bis fatber
the worthy distiller. He had rue
through with the bulk of his patri
mony by tbe time he was twenty-flv«
and was pretty much run down at th<
heel when he married In tbe hope ol
recouping his lost fortune.
Tbe Scbmicks did not like him. They
did not approve of him as lord and
master, nor was it possible for them tc
resign themselves to the fate that had
put this young scapegrace into tbt
elioes. so to sucak. of the grim old
barons Rothhoefen. who. whatever elac
they may have been in a high banded
sort of way. were men to the core
This pretender, this creature without
brains or blood, this sponging repro
bate. was not to their liking. U 1 am
to quote £onrad. who became quite
forceful in his harangue against the
recent order of things.
He, bis wife and his sons, he assured
me, were full of rejoicing when they
learned that the castle had passed from
Count Hohendabl's bunds into mine.
I at least would i>ay them their wages,
and I might, in a pinch, be depended
upon to pension them when they got
too old to b« of any use about the cas
tle.
All attempts on my part to connect
the lady in the eHst wing with the
history of the extinct Kotbhoefens
were futile. He would not commit
himself.
"Well." said I, yawning In helpleos
collusion with the sleepy Gretel, "we'll
let It go over till morning. Call me at
7, Britton."
I went to bed, but not to sleep. It
was very clear to me that my neigh
bor was a disturber In every tense
of the word. She wouldn't let me sleep.
For hours 1 tried tq get rid of her, but
she filtered Into my brain and prodded
my thoughts into the most violent ac
tivity. She wouldn't stay put. But
finally 1 dropped off.
I was aroused from my belated sleep
by the sound of mighty cataracts and
the tread of countless elephants. Too
late 1 realized that the tourists were
upon me! Too late I remembered that
the door to my room bnd been left un
locked! One hundred and sixty-nine
were huddled outside my door, drink
lng In the monotonous drivel of the
guide who had a shrill, penetrating
voice and not the faintest notion of a
conscience.
I listened in dismay for a moment
and then, actuated by something more
than mere fury, leaped out of bed and
prepared for a dash acro«» the room
to lock the door. On the third stride
1 whirled and made a flying leap into
the bed. scuttling beneath the covers
with the Rpeed and accuracy of a craw
fish. Just In time, too, for the heavy
door swung slowly open a second later
and the shrill, explanatory voice was
projected loudly Into my lofty bed
chamber.
"Come a little closer, please," said
the morose man with the cap. "This
room was occupied for centuries by
the masters of Scbloss Rothboefen. It
is a bedchamber. See the great ba
ronial bed. It lias not been slept In for
more than 200 years. The later barons
refused to sleep in It because one of
their ancestors bad been assassinated
between Its sheets at the tender age
of six. He was stabbed by a stepuncle
who played him false."
A resolute beholder spoke up, "Can't
we step Inside?"
"If you choose, madame. But we
must waste no time."
"1 do so want to see where the old
barons slept."

A Woman's Reasons Against Further
Armament
The "American Magazine" has
been offering prizes for the best let
ters on tha subject, "Shall We Armf"
The publishers announce that the vote
stands at the ratio of four in favor of
increased armament to five against it.
In the May number the prize-winning
letters are published. Following is an
extract from a strong letter against
armament, written by Mary S. Mark
hani, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota:
"Shall we arm? My answer is in
the eternal motherhood of all nations
from an economic point of view.
"For every man that lives a woman
has gone through eight hours (I take
an average rate) of the most intense
and agonizing pain to bring him into
the world, spent sleepless months in
care and nursing througli the days
from babyhood to boyhood, helped and
stood bv him past the measles, mumps
and broken bone age. till he becomes a
'big man' ot fifteen to eighteen years,
when he usually has passed the need
of mother's care, and safely reaches
maturity, twenty-one years, when he
can vote and fight like a man.
"For every one hundrrd men shot
down on the battlefield it means that
eight hundred hours or thirty-three
days of the most severe suffering has
been passed through by women, just to
bring them into the world. Fifteen
centuries in time have been spent in
constant care and devotion to bring
those one hundred men to the fighting
age, to be shot down. This is only one
hundred dead.
"Shall we make ready to kill!
Would the economic manufacturer allow
that much energy to be thrown away
if he was paying two dollars ail eight
hour day for itf But that's loss of
money! If suffering is not considered,
perhaps dollars ami cents may talk.
Suppose for every man that is killed
in battle, women were to demand five
dollars a twenty-foilr-hour day for fif
teen years, or $27,375 for her work
in giving them one man to kill—s27,-
375,000 for one thousand men killed
in one day. Would they still go on
killing if it was paid in dollars? Would
they still arm ready to kill! I won
derj Nearly twenty-eight million dol
lars per thousand to kill them. I won
der! Would thevf And that might be
for less than a day. Two houndred
million dollars, perhaps, a week. Would
they still killf Would they still arm
ready to kill? I wonder! Would
they?"

Not a Single Boat Operating Between
Mauch Chunk and Bristol
Mauch Chunk, Pa., April 26.—The
difficulty between the boatmeu on the
ljehigh canal and the officials, which
has existed almost constantly since the
opening of the boating season, has
reached an acute stage, and there Hs
not a single boat in operation between
: Mauch Chunk and Bristol.
There are nearly 100 captains on the
canal when all are in service, and
about half that number havo 'been at
the Coalport wharves so far this season,
each leaving promptly with a load of
coal for Bris' 1 or some intervening
point. On reaching their destination
they unloaded, tied up their boats and
refused to return for another load un

180,000,000 Russians on Water Wagon
Tn the May "American Magazine"
Captain Granville Fortescue writes an
article. entitled, "Battling for War
saw." It is an account of the great
war on the eastern frontier of Ger
many. Following is an extract:
'' When Russia went to war the Czar
with a stroke of his pen put one hun
dred and eighty million people on the
water wagon. And, believe me, this
water wagon 'ikon' is no bluff. It is
harder to get a drink in Russia to-day
than it is at Lake Mohonk. How wise
was this edict of the ruler of Russia is
now shown in the condition of his army.
Their fighting eeffctiveness is higher
than that of the French and fully
equal to the English, measured by the
physical fitness of the units composing
the forces. On the other hand, the
German soldiers nearly all carry flasks
of whiskey or other spirits. Ivan the
Siberian knows this, and I fear that
the famous edict is sometimes broken
when a batch of prisoners is gathered
in. The flasks are certainly contraband
of war."
Sir Charles Wyndham's Cabin Supper
Room
During his active management of the
Criterion Theatre Charles Wyndham
also had his private supper-room, where
lie and a bright company of guests
often heard the chimes at midnight.
Situated some way at the back of the
theatre, it was cunningly contrived in
the semblance of the cabin of a yacht.
So minute was the masterly production
that light was admitted through port
holes glassed in sea-green. Swinging
lamps hung from the ceiling in case
Piccadilly Circus, caught in a gust of
wind, should give a sudclen lurch. For
sideboard there were lockers such as
one finds aboard a ship. Many a mer
ry little supper was given here during
the more than twenty years of Wynd
ham's lesseeship of the Criterion. It
was unique among managerial posses
sions.—From The Strang Magazine.

Youth and doddering dotard,

The play has just begun.
Sweet melodies insistent r
Pervade the mise en scene,
Sunshine clothed in shadow,
Snow white or willow green;
Heroes, clowns and villain,
Dusk drowns the weary sun,—
Ring down the twilight curtain,
The play of life is done.

The Choice and Preparation of Mushrooms
The mushroom family is so large
that it is not tturprising we continually
mistake near-edible ones for their
savory and nourishing relatives.
The fear of poison deters many of
us from making use of the species that
abound ih pastures and woods and it
is an important matter to have the real
standing of the fungi made clear. But
,jnst as all signs fail in dry weather, so
do all mushrooms seem treacherous.
It is claimed that repeated washing
with cold water removes the dangerous
quality from most varieties and that
boiling dissolves out the rest. It is
well known that water in which any
sort of mushrooms are boiled is poison
ous so there may be some truth in this
claim, but the safest way is to only
use a variety that you know positively
to be harmless.
Even with every precaution taken
fatalities from this food are numerous
and this is probably hecause the so
called safe kinds are eaten in too gen
erous quantities.
There are many ways suggested to
determine if poison lurks in the fungus,
as dropping a piece of silver in the
cooking food, but they are all futile.
The cultivated varieties give little trou
ble and the cheapest way to secure the
good mushrooms is to buy them.
They should be used as soon as pos
sible after picking; they are first
washed in cold water and then soaked
in water containing enough vinegar to

Wild Animals Trust This Man
In the Interesting People department
of the May "American Magazine" ap
pears an article about Sol A. Stephan,
who is doing a splendid work at the
Cincinnati Zoological Garden. He
knows how to perform a surgical opera
tion on a tiger, cure a hippopotamus
and take care of all kinds of wild ani
mals. His work requires a rare kind of
wisdom and ability. Following is an
extract from the article about him:
'For thirty-five years Sol Stephan
has presided over the Cincinnati Zoo
logical Garden, and has been, therefore,
foster father to every sort of wild ani
mal which has been seen in a zoo
on this continent.
"Stand beside the cage of a fierce
and monstrous lion suffering with an
ingrowing clew, an abscess or a de
cayed tooth. Could you suggest a safe
and effective method of operating? Sol
builds a false back for the cage, ten
men pull it forward with ropes, it con
stricts the lion until he Cannot stir, and
the trick is accomplished.
"Could you extend the life of the
lust passenger pigeon in the world from
a formal period of about eight years
to Sn actual life of twenty-nine years
and seven months! Sol Stephan did
it; and he is now caring for a pair of
European storks which have been his
charges for over nineteen years, and
for three Carolina parrakeets, the last
survivors of their race in the world,
each of which is over thirty years of
age, and one of which is completely
bald, so long has she lived beyond her
allotcd span of summers.
"Colonel Stephan raises every year
several young lions, tigers, leopards,
buffalo, camels, llamas, kangaroos and
hundreds of the young of smaller
beasts, birds and reptiles; but the
proudest moments of his life are when
i>e gazes at the flower of the Cincin
nati Zoo, the marvelously perfect young
giraffe Daisy, which he raised from
birth. You can count on the fingers
of one hand all the giraffe infants
which the zoos of this continent have
ever seen, and none bnt Daisy has lived
more than a fortnight after birth. Dai
sy is now four years old and the ad
miration of every wild animal lover."

The little button mushrooms ar®

broiled or filled with fine forcemeat and
baked in glass bells.
For general purposes, after soaking

them into boiling salted water and cook
until they are tender.
They require very littlo water but
must be closely covered to keep in
