Maeterlinck

NUGENT was in despair. For
three weeks he had been try
ing to ask Virginia Dinsmore
that pointed and persona 1
question that should decide matters be
tween them, and for three weeks he
bad been held back by an iu\ isible but
impassable barrier.
Ualph Merton, of course, was always
hanging about her. but that gentleman,
Nugent assured himself, was neither
invincible nor insuperable. The thing
that he was afraid of was less Merton
than the long, mystical discussions that
tlx* two hold concerning the meaning
of certain modern writers whose very
names were strange to himself. So,
procuring a few volumes of Maeter
linck. he determined to prepare himself
to "trot in the same class" with her.
us his horsy friend, Michaels, would
have termed it.
Clad iu an old coat whose pockets
sagged delightfully, his feet thrust into
slippers whose original shape and color
could only be guessed at and fortified
by his beloved pipe, lie settled down
one evening and solemnly opened the
tirst volume of Maeterlinck that his
inn id fell upon.
But, though he made an honest ef
fort, the atmosphere of his comfortable
bachelor quarters, whose golf clubs,

pipes, swords, riding crops, etc., dis
played themselves with masculine vari
ety and confusion, did not seem con
ductive to the study of the modern
mystic. Horse and dog pictures look
ed down on him, and pictures that were
neither of these noble animals testified
somewhat frivolously to the existence
of the eternal feminine. Hows of smart
ly bound volumes tilled the low book
cases decorously, bearing witness to
their owner's aspirations, while his
actual achievement was evidenced by
the litter of magazines and several dog
eared Kipling books upon his library
table. Obviously it was not a Maeter
linck room.
"Good Lord!" he groaned at last.
"Good Lord! And to think that she
can read such slush as this when there
are horses to ride, good golf to play
and men to talk to!" For one passing
moment a doubt of Virginia's common
sense assailed him, but only for a mo
ment. Not even Maeterlinck could
make him disloyal to her.
Besides, it must mean something—
all this endless dialogue in which fear
whitened men and women echoed each
other's words to the accompaniment
of shrieking winds and ghostly moans
In a greenish gray light that never ex
isted outside a melodrama. Surely no
man would write all this stuff without
meaning something. But that was
just it—what?
"You may search me!" growled Nu
gent, throwing aside the second vol
utin- with a disgusted air and refilling
his pipe. "If I've got to stand above
ninety In Maeterlinck before I can win
Virginia—well, I might just as well
give up right now!"
Then Virginia's face, her eyes alight
with interest, rose before him. That,
he remembered perfectly, was the way
she looked as she listened to Merton's
conversation, and for the first time he
felt a sharp pang of Jealousy of the
man.
The certainty that Merton under
stood and even found interesting what
he could not read, much less compre
hend, goaded him. In a meeker spirit
than was usually his he tried tenta
tively to get some points on the mad
dening Maeterlinck from Virginia.
"It's symbolical, you know," she ex
plained a trifle vaguely, regarding
him with a lazy question in her eyes.
It was so unlike I'eter Nugent to be
yearning for book talk that she was
curious. "Everything stands for some
thing," she added, as if that made the
matter entirely clear.
"But tell me." retorted Peter, "what i
Is the use of having everything stand I
for something? Why doesn't the man .
sav what he means and be done with
it?"
Miss Dinsmore had no answer for i
this pertinent question, and, seeing his j
advantage, her stalwart admirer eon- i
tinned:
"What would ygu think of me if I !
employed symbols instead of plain, e». ,
eryduy English V"
His listener laughed outright at this i
simple wiy of disposing of a great j
modern writer and his cult.
"I'm afraid I should think you were j
off your head, Mr. Nugent," she re- |
piled with the frankness of long ac
quaintance.
"That's just what I think of Maeter- i
linck," replied her companion dryly, j
feeling that the writer must either be ,
conquered or crushed and leaning to- :
ward the last named alternative.
Still, he could not give up. it seem- I
wl to him preposterous that a fellow '
like Merton should understand things
which he, Nugent, could not, especial
ly when Merton's diabolical keenness
gave him the advantage of Virginia's
open interest and appreciation. It was
not a thing to be borne quietly.
"Perhaps we understand it more
clearly than you do," she acknowledg
ed. And that "we" that put her ami j
Merton together on one side of the |
question as opposed to him oil the oth- '
er shook Nugent strangely.
Something of the dismay that he felt •
■bowed iu his face, and, seeing It, Miss
Dinsmore attempted once more to ex- '
plain the methods,of the new school of
writers. And her efforts were reward- i
ed, for at last a light seemed to break j
upon him.
"1 see!" he ejaculated slowly. "1 see
| at last! The gentlemen write in cipher,
j just as we send secret messages in
; business, and it doesu't mean a thing
j unless you understand the cipher. T>og
j pigment chair' doesn't sound very in
j telligible to you, does It V"
He waited a moment; then as Miss
I Dinsmore shook her head he went on:
"And yet I sent that very message to
a firm yesterday in a matter involving
i the investment of thousands of dollars.
; And they understood, just as you and
: Merton understand your Maeterlinck
code!" he concluded airily, while Miss
Dinsmore studied him with a new in
terest. After all, she reflected, these
! practical minds were keen enough once
they got the point of view.
Meanwhile I'eter Nugent went his
: way with a curious exhilaration. At
i last, he felt, he was catching up with
; Merton. Since he had the important
question to ask, why not heap coals of
| tire on Virginia's head by asking it
i symbolically? But how?
I* • • • • » •
It was the Saturday before Easter,
j All the afternoon the bell of the Dins
I more mansion had been ringing with
; monotonous regularity, which kept the
J Buttons at the door at work like an
automaton.
"Gee whiz!" he soliloquized as he
j took in au azalea almost as large as
I himself. "Miss Virginia must he tie
| whole t'ing, judgin' by dese Easter
I greetin's."
The very last offering to arrive came
about 9 o'clock in the evening, when
the Buttons, wearied out, was dozing
at his post and dreaming that he sent
Sadie Flaherty a bunch of American
Beauties with stems as long as tele
graph poles. It was therefore with a
somewhat bored and chastened air that
he carried the package that was hand
ed in up to Miss Virginia's room, where
in a low chair she sat reading "Monua
Vanna."
"Open it, Thomas," she commanded
languidly, laying her book face down
ward in her lap and watching him idly
as he removed the enwrapping tissue
paper. But at sight of the object he
lifted out of the box a moment later
all her languor disappeared, and she ut
tered an exclamation of amazement.
It was a huge nest, upon which a
bantam hen—soft, white and with ma
tronly. alert yellow eyes sat with non
chalant grace. Tucked under the edge
of one wing was au envelope.
Buttons did his liest. but it was poor.
With a guffaw as involuntary as it
was hearty he deposited the nest and
its occupant upon a table and. holding
his hand over his mouth, tied from the
room. Miss Dinsmore approached her
latest possession and removed the note,
saying, "Who under the sun"—
Having read It, she sank into a chair,
tears of merriment streaming from her
eyes, for this was what she read:
Dear Virginia—l call you that because
1 know instinctively that symbolists have
no use for formality. The Easter gift
that 1 am sending m:iy at the first flash
seem bizarre, but when I explain that it
Is a symbolic offering; you will under
stand. It is as symbolic as anything
Maeterlinck ever (fared to do, and I inter
pret it to you because in this particular
case 1 fancy that I can do better than
Merton himself.
The nest—what Is It but the home that
I would ofTer you? The e«g therein—
please notice that it's been made beastly
ugly—stands for me. and, as with me, y • >ll
will have to get beneath the shell to tind
its real significance. The hen that is sit
ting upon the in the nest—l come
now to my liveliest bit of symbolism, a
touch that I pride myself upon—typifies
my frightened expectation of being "sat
upon" when this simple effort of my
imagination reaches you! Be merciful,
then, to P- N.
Weak with laughter, the recipient of
this extraordinary missive approached
the table once more and gingerly re
moved the hen, half expecting an an
gry, clucking protest. There In the
nest, sure enough, was an egg bearing
an ugly caricature of Nugent, which
crumbled in her lingers as she clutched
it, releasing a scrap of paper that flut
tered back into the nest.
It contained but a few words, but in
them all the poetry of Nugent's strong,
sane nature had been compressed, and
with a little catch of the breath Miss
Dinsmore pressed the slip of paper to
her lips.
The book that she had been reading
had fallen to the floor. With the tip of
her toe she gave it a disdainful little
kick as she fluttered across the room to
her writing desk.

DINING IN JAPAN.
If It'a Your Flral Juixinene Meal Yon
Will Huve a Trying Tline.
If it's your first Japanese dinner
you're having a dreadfully hard time,
the first place you must sit on the
floor, for they don't have any chairs in
Japan. You kneel down, and then you
turn your toes In till one laps over the
other, and then you sit back between
your heels. At first you are quite
proud to find how well you do it, and
you don't think It's so very uncomfort
j able. But pretty soon you get crump
ed, and your legs ache as if you had a
toothache in them. You don't say any
thing, because you think that If the
Japanese can sit this way all day long
you ought to be able to stand it a few
minutes. Finally both your feet goto
sleep, and then you can't bear it a
moment longer, and you have to get
I up and stamp around the room to
| drive the prickles out of your feet, and
ell the little dancing girls giggle at
I you. This isn't your only trouble ei
ther. All you have to eat with Is a
| pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror
; lest you spill something on the dainty
' white matting floor. Now the floor of
! a Japanese hous« isn't just the floor;
| It's the chairs and sofas and tables
| and beds as well. At home it would
!be mortifying enough togo out to din-
I tiw and spill something on the floor,
I but in Japan, where people sit and
eJeep on the floor, it seems even worse.
So you are unhappy till your little ne
ean (who Is the waitress and almost
as prettily dressed as the dancing girls,
but not quite) comes laughing to youi
aid and shows yon how to bold your
chopsticks. After that you manage
nicely the rice and the omelet, but the
fish and the chicken you can't contrive
to shred apart without dropping j-.ur
cliopsticks all the tiui*. So between
dances the maiko the little girls about
twelve years old kneel down beside
you and help you. They enn't keep
from giggling at your awkwardness,
! but you don't mind; you just glggli
too, and everybody giggles and has
lovely time.—St. Nicholas.

Copuright, 1904, l>u Otho B Seng a

Adam—Adam Peyton Randolph lay
s Stretched at full length under a dwarf
pine tree. He was big and blond and
, good to look at. He sang "Oh, Mary- j
, land. My Maryland!" In a heavy bass
which was not at all musical and then
laughed at his own failure,
j "I reckon I wasn't around when
j singing voices were being distributed,"
r he said aloud, "but this certainly is
112 paradise—an Eveless paradise! And
t that's what makes it paradise! How a
i woman would spoil all this! 1 hope the
' new owner of Sunny Slope doesn't in
tend to live there."
He turned over lazily and lay on his
, I chest, supporting his chin in his hand
, and gazing off toward the blue Chesa
j | peake, from which the breeze brought
j the bracing saltiness of the inland sea.
Ills Eve was coming, but of this be
was blissfully unaware. She saunter
ed up the avenue of pines, looking de
lightedly about her.
i "A perfect paradise! - ' she murmur
ed. "I wonder if my land ends with
| my driveway, or does it extend to that
t j one over there."
' 1 She pushed her way between the
rosebtishes and entered the debated
1 territory, wandering aimlessly along,
singing softly and caressing the rose
1 she had plucked in passing.
t At an unexpected turn she almost
stumbled over the long, sprawling legs
i of Adam Peyton Randolph.
1 "Oh, pardon me!" she gasped in con
fusion. "I did not know"— And then,
1 J summoning the courage of possible pos
session. she demanded. "Doesn't this
strip of land belong to Sunny Slope?"
"No. madam," replied the recumbent
one gravely. "It belongs to Peyton's
r paradise,"
She laughed gayl.v and looked about
her. "So this really is paradise, is it?
1 And where are Adam and Eve?"
"There is no Eve, madam. Adam is
the owner of the place- Adam Peyton
' Randolph."
"Oh, yes, I know. He is the horrid,
• ; cantankerous old thing who was so de
t j termined I should not buy Sunny
1 Slope. My agent told me how this old

miser kept bidding and bidding until I
had to pay twice what the place s
worth."
The "old miser" sat up with sudden
interest.
"Oh, then you are Miss Endlcott? I
am so glad! I feared It was a northern
er who had bought the dear old place."
"What possible difference could that
make ?" curiously.
"Ob, a great deal," vaguely. "I do
not want them here."
"May I ask," with sudden hauteur,
"why it should Interest you?"
-•sccause wen,'* rising and Holding
out a big hand cordially, "because,
Miss Endlcott, I am the 'horrid, can
tankerous old tiling,' Adam Peyton
Randolph, at your service, and I con
fess to a decided preference for south
ern women. 1 hope we shall be friends."
She put her slender hand in his de
murely. "I am very sorry," with pre
tense of contrition, "but, you see, I
couldn't help being born in Massachu
setts."
"A thousand pardons, Miss Endicott,
I beg. Your name should have warned
me, but you look so like a southern wo
man!"
"I consider that a compliment," smil
ing.
"You may well. The southern wom
en are the most beautiful under the
sun, and I repeat that you look a true
southerner."
The gravity of his manner saved the
remark from the slightest flavor of im
pertinence, and the girl smiled bright
ly.
"And am 1 forgiven for being a north
erner and for buying Sunny Slope?"
He smiled In friendly fashion, but
his tone was very serious as he re
plied: "I am sorry I made it hard for
you; but, you see, I really wauted the
place. It once belonged to my father.
I was born there. Under pressure of
circumstances he sold that, as my
mother preferred to keep Peyton's par
adise, where she was born. My mother
was a Peyton," he added proudly.
The girl seemed troubled, and it was
several seconds before she spoke.
"I can't help being glad that I suc
ceeded !n buying the place, but I am
sorry you failed. 1 realize that it must
!>• very dear to you."
"You had more money than I or
you couldn't have bought it,"he said,
trying to speak lightly. "However, I
thank you for your considerate
thought. Let us be friends anyway,
and perhaps you will let me come often
to my birthplace."
"You shall play it is yours," cordial
ly, "as the children do- they are so
happy 'making believe,' you know And
will you let me come into your paradise
once in awhile? Your roses are finer
than mine."
"There is a path leading from your
garden Into mine. Come, let me show
jlt to you. There, this little gate at
I my end of the path shall be securely !
! fastened back, so," fastening it as
1 he spoke. "And now, whenever you
[ choose," with a sudden, strange tender
j ness In his tone, "you shall enter into
luiradise."
Three months later Adam stood at
the gate of paradise bitterly despond
ent and unavallingly regretful.
There had been a sudden growth of j
; friendship during tne long, bright sum
mer and a leap into love Then had
come the tempter in the guise of a rich i
and suavely spoken senator from the i
, i north, aud Adam's heart hud been sorta I
beset witn jealous rage. ITot with
southern anger, he had accused the girl
of trifling with him, of making him the
sport of tier summer pastime when she
had no heart to give him.
She >i.i< 1 stood, straight and tall and
white, looking in her clinging white
gown like liis boyhood's idea of a
ghost.
Then she spoke, and her voice was
cold and touched Adam's heated itn
, agination like sharpened icicles.
"I should certainly never give any
mans uiietliihg for which he had not
j asked." And, turning, she had disap-
I peared down the path leading away
| from paradise.
Man-like, it was hours before Adam
; realized the true meaning of her
| words. Then he had hastened to Suu
! Ny Slope.
"Miss Eve done gone," the old main
;my had said. "Her 'n' Massa I'ratt
| done gone together. No, Miss Eve neb
j Iter said as when she'd come back."
He had wandered through the beau-
I tiful grounds of paradise, visiting the
i "Rosary." where he had fosteoed and
trained the most glorious beauties that
Eve might have her choice each day of
the glad, sweet summer, realizing with
a sharp pang that the whole place
seemed to share in the loneliness that
possessed his heart. Without Eve par
adise Itself were desolation.
Now in the soft twilight he stood at
the garden gate looking toward the
dim old mansion half hidden in the
pines at Sunny Slope.
He caught a glimpse of a light in her
window. Mjnduij was likely putting
the room to rights.
"Oh, Eve!" he cried, stretching out
his arms toward the faintly gleaming
light. "Eve. darling, how could I be
so blind and so unjust when I love you
so—l love you soV"
A quick, light step sounded on the
garden path, and a slender, white clad
figure rushed wildly toward him.
"Adam, oh, Adam!" she panted. "I
tried togo awfly, but I couldn't. Am
I too late, Adam? Is the gate closed
to paradise?"
And he held her in his Strang arms,
whispering tenderly: "It could never be
too late. Eve. We will go together
into paradise."
