astonished, therefore, thut she found
the news of her bargain quite an
agreeaiile adjunct to her breakfast that
morning?
Mr. Trapaud won a woman of
ome humor; when her husband tiled
she met a friend u man also of sumo
humor who knew ns all the world
knew, and as Mrs. Trepnud had never
pretended to hide, that the marriage
had been the reverse to happy, lie
looked at her weed with a compre
bending smile.
"Got your divorce at last';" he mid.
'Yes. and In the higher courts, tor;"
he replied.
Mrs. Trppnud whs always tqual to
any occasion.
When Trcpaud died his widow car

tinued to breed his horses. Not so
much, be It understood, from any
touching sympathy with the (Kir do

voul 1 hardly ajjnrcxiate the art with
which Daniel's hlslory was told, so
we will offer a brief an 1 more modern
tin-to-date k"tch that shall state the
tlnln matter In a nutshell.
One Christinas eve a quarter rf a
rentury ago the hospitable glare of a
fire thnt not on'y could roast an os.
lint was actually do'ir: so. attracted a
little ragi"d follow, who was tramping
nlong the high road In search of n
right's lodging. On of the keepers
found him lu the fir plantation nnd
Orngged him after him till they stood
In the glare of the firelight before The
pnnd, Ms wife, and the assembled
household. Questioned, the little fel
low said his name was Daniel; he was
foundling anj had been put out to
service with a drunken carpenter,
front whom he had run away. He had
trot os far nor.h as this tn a barge
along tho canals and had worked at
whatever came to his hand for all the
food and lodging that charity had not
t-'lven til in. Trapaud liked thn lad's
face and took him Into his service. He
was honest and Industrious, he hud ris
en by slow degrees, and now for seven
years he had been butler at the ball.
Daniel took a pathetic pleasure hi
licarlng his own story recited; it made
Mm feel a kind of hero: but there was
tilway the ever-present ache at IiIh
lieart that he bought his proud posi
tion at the cost of love and fear. He
tvna never quite one of them, but a
thing apart at a man who does not
know his own surname must ever be.
Mr. Trapaud wos habitually careful
-about money, never leaving carelessly
about any auint, however small. J-'he
' never distrusted any of her people, hut
he knew the value of the axiom con
cernlng the open door. On thin partle

tell for breakfast to he cleared while

Daniel murmured some reply, and
went on removing the breakfast
things. Mrs. Trnpnud rose, folded hei
napkin le!'irety, and gathering tip tht
gold pieces, crossed to tin? flreplnof
and put them In a tidy heap on tin
tnnntelpiece. Then she walked into
the conservatory .f thnt opened 'out of
the room to, ee'jfhow her polntsettia
waa coming Vfn. Suddenly her pulse
stopped and her henrt stood still tfi
listen. She heard a voire distinctly
spenking in a weird, mad whisper
from the breakfast room behind.
"Make a man rich tor life," It said
and repeated the phrase like a lilany.
She turned.
Daniel was standing near the mantel
piece, his face white ns death, gveal
drops of sweat standing out upon hi?
tirow. His lingers twitched nervous
ly, his eyeballs were painfully distend
ed. Covetoiisness. nvarice. greed, were
writ largo upon his countennnce. lie
looked horrible. Instinctively Mrs. Tra
pnud shrank back among the greenery
to watrh.
"Make a nan rich for life"' reiterat
ed Iiaulcl with a curious sibilant
sound. "Make a man rich for life

the direction of the conservatory, he
put out his hand, and with stealthy
touch t'liisvlessly took the gold. You
could have heard a pin drop. Mrs.
Trannttd stepped quickly forward.
'Daniel, what are you doing? Put
that money down."
She spol;e sharply peremptorily.
Daniel turned. An ugly look cume over
his face; he was dangerous.
Tut it down this minute." she said
"Make n man rich for life," he mut
tered, backing to the door.
"Daniel, are you mad? Tut It down
at op.ee, I say."
She had re-entered the room now nnd
her hand was on the bell. With a quick
movement Daniel reached out to the
sideboard and noised a knife: In hit
oth-r fist he still clutched tlie gold.
"I sen," she said, quietly. "Then we
have been housing a thief nnd n mur
derer for fivc-nnil-twenty years."
The kr.ifo dropped from his hand. A
violent trembling shook him in every
limb, the wild, weird look died out of
his eyes, and he stood for a moment
gazing dazedly at the money In his
clenched palm.
"Daniel, put it down."
He crossell to the tnnntelpiece ns
though in a dream nnd put the money
back where lie had found It In the
spirit of n little child. Then he stood
there silent, his head bowed upon his
breast.
"It Is the first time I have ever
known you drunk, Daniel." said Mrs.
Trepnud, slowly. She laid great stress
upon tlw word. "Do not ever let me
see you drunk again, or I will have to
dismiss you. Now you mny go."
He turned and walked slowly to the
door. He had his back to her, but she
could see his shoulders heave. Pres
ently he turned again, his face slill
bowed upon his breast.
"Oml bless 'ee, mistress." he said,

1!Its1 of Linen Chest.
Everywhere In the shops to-dny one
finds linen cliets, more or lets elabor
ate. Nothing but a fine antique will do
for some young women, and genuine
old chests whose heavy wood Is finely
carved and rich with color oud lustre
of centuries are not sold for a song.
Imitation antiques are plentiful and
some of them are attractive enough
If one buys them for wbut they are
nnd does not pay the price of real an
tiques for them.
A strictly modern French chest made
to fill a New York, order is of dark
oak, severely plain, but mounted In
wonderful art noiiveiiu metul work
let with semi-precious stones.
Such chests are not for all lovers of
1 linen, but linen all women must have,
I and the earlier the collecting Is begun
j the more satisfactory the supply Is
' when Its owner's wedding day comes.
I The wise mother buys the linen client
and begins stocking It long before the
daughter Is old enough to take n vital
Interest In tho proceeding.
It Is easy to have an exceptionally
beautiful supply of linen if one
! wntches the sales, nnd !f one buys a
little nt. a time, liven If a woman has
I unlimited means nt her disposal she
cannot r.t one full mvoop collect a
stock of linen as satisfactory as one
picked up piece by piece, because of
I some parti merit or charm in each
piece.
I One may buy almost any sort of lln
' n Btore hemmed nowadays. The hur
ry nnd rush of modern life has de
manded that concession, but the girl
who is cut out for domesticity will pre
fer hemming und .working her own
linen.
Of course, the supply she will need
will depend upon the position she will
occupy, and certain basic rules of se
lection every one may follow.
First there is the kitchen supply,
cup towels, glass towels, roller tow
els, dish cloths, cheesecloth dusters,
tick-covered iron holders, a hag for
?Iothesplns, cotton Uiuinel bags to
draw over the brooms when wood
floors are to be brushed. All these arc
to be hemmed, worked with one or
two Initials and laid away in the linen
chest.
Then there is the servant's linen, a
bountiful supply of sheets, pillow Hllps,
towels, spreads, tablecloths, napkins,
not necessarily of fine quality, but
carefully selected, durable, well
worked.
When this foundation is laid one ho
come to the delightful part of the
work, the choosing of the general
house linen In various grades. Here
temptation meets one nnd covetous
ness becomes one's darling sin, hut
oue must keep a level head and consid
er the practlcnl as well as the- beauti
ful, ami one must learn to be an un
erring Judge of quality. Evangelist

' ror tt,e care of the hair:
"Keep the hair at clean nt the rest

"Let the air and sunshine have free
access to it. Nevpr wear a hat when
j you can po without it. It will retard
the growth of your hair Just at surely
j n covering up a plaut would hinder
its development.
If you wear a wheat field, nn av
iary or a grape arbor on your hat, you
must expect thnt ytur hair will suffer.
Heat and weight nre not conducive to
crowing luxuriant locks.
"Don't put a lot of strange nostrums
on your luilr. If you do, you will get
lot of strange results.
"Wash the hair In wurm castlle buJk.
Hlnso It In cold water. The change of
temperature stimulates growth. If you
want to make your hair grow, this
washing uiay be repeated every other

growth of the hair, it will produce

fllrW and Their Kiluratlon.
When you have a fine girl, with a
good mind, who can leurn anything it
reason, nnd be trained to almost any
sort of useful labor, after her educa
tlon has come to the polHt where spe
realization might begin, you have tc
face the possibility that by going oc
and giving her n special thing to think
about and work at, you may ho aid
log to divert her from a woman'
grentest career to one, notable it may
be, but less satisfying and of lest im
portance. The risk the apparent risk
is not that a girl may kuow too much
to marry, but that during the year?
when marriage Is best, nnd easiest.
achieved she may be so busy with
other concerns ns to miss meeting the
man whom she ought to marry.
For while It may be confidently as
serted that no mere intellectual pre
occupation Is going to binder a gir!
from marrying the man whom she rec
ognizes to be the right man if ho conic
nlong nt the right time nnd suggests
It to her. it Is possible that she may be
too much preoccupied to recognize him
when he comes, nnd nlso that her wnrls
may remove her from the soclnl point
she would naturally occupy, and cntiso
her to miss meeting him altogether.

line For Old Waterproofs.
You housekeepers who happen t
have stowed away in attic or closel
one or more of those old waterproof
capes in use twelve or fifteen years
ago, will find them exceedingly serv
iceable ns chair covers on sweeping
dny. To make them more convenient,
sew up the slits in the covers which
were used for armholes, and remove
the hoods. Then see what a protection
It is from the dust, which, howevet
carefully a broom is used, is sure to
lodge upon all upholstered furniture.
Iu the case of a large easy chair,
which for some reason it may be In
convenient to remove from the room
during the sweeping process, this rub

over the bnck, nruis and seat; but in)
case It may be found necessary to re
move the chair to a sunny plnsza oc

pinned securely around it will protect
It from either rain or sunshine, ct the
case may be.
Another advantage which such a cov

covering is thnt Oust does not cling

If you happen to own an old-fash-toned
square piano, with pictures and
bric-a-brac standing on the open cover,
it is some trouble to remove them and
close the plnno every time you sweep.

saving the trouble of closing It. Hel

Men'a Clothing.
The neck bands of men's white shirts
frequently wear out before any other
part. Wash the shirt to remove the
starch, rip the old band off and press
it carefully so it will retain Its original
shape. Cut a new band of linen inter
lined with muslin, baste It iu place,
stitch on the machine and work the
usual number of buttonholes. Make
other repairs that are needed and the
jhirt will be ready for the laundry.
If the silk ties are toiled, try clean
ing them with gasoline. Tour a little
In a cup or bowl, dip a clean cloth in
it, aud rub the soiled placet, dipping
frequently. When the gasoline gets
dirty, get a fresh supply and proceed
g before, until the ties are clean, then
hang them up where no dust will fall
on them until it has evaporated. This

A suit of clothet Is often improved In
appearance by brushing them. Turn
the pockets wrong side out and shake
them. The coat collar often requires
cleaning. Prepare a cleaning fluid by
pouring a quart of boiling water over
one-fourth pound of soap shaved fine
and adding a heaping teaspoon ful of -borns.
When dissolved, stir together
so it will form a strong suds. Dip a
