TOE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1010. PAID IN FULL Copyright, 1908, by 0. W. Dillingham Co. CHATTER XXIII. AUTUMN, chilly nnd wet, had mJk brought Bojourncrs In the JljL country early to town, among them Mrs. Harris nnd her daughters. Mrs. Harris had requisi tioned Jlmsy Smith's services before eho descended ftpm tho mountains. There was a lot to do on their ar rival. Would ho mind attending to this nnd that for them, end would bo meet them7 Jlmsy duly attended to this nnd that met them In his old Ktsnlal way, saw them Installed In their homo, dined with thom, as per Mrs. Harris' schedule and, although tho winter was well advanced, had never been there since, except to mako a brief call at Christmas. At each of theso visits Emma had thrilled at sight of him and at tho sound of his voice. It was with timid ity thnt she had extended her hand to him, but neither by pressure of his clasp nor by any sign of manner, ex pression or intonation had ho given Indication of remembrance that their secret was known to each other. Ho was the same quiet, kindly unchange able Jlmsy. By her alone was his pro longed absence understood. Mrs. Har ris and Beth finally attributed it to a reluctance to meet continually on an equal footing his employer, Captain Williams, who hod taken Jlmsy's place as extra member of the family and usurped all his prerogatives. To Emma the captain was no longer an object of fear and detestation. Shs knew that his nffectlon was purely pa ternal, and he knew that she under stood him as no one dead or living ever hnd or did. Sho manifested her appreciation of his regard by a confi dence which was to the old fellow a comfort and huge delight Not that his delight took a demonstrative form; that was not In his nature, and Emma would have been greatly nstonlshed could she have known what a boon to him her frank friendliness was. The fact was that his good deed to Emma had been the first striking ef fect of a softening process that bad been going on very, very slowly, so slowly as not to be noticeable to any extent, for several years, which began when he had been admitted to the nnd surprised a wistful, raraway look lu her' eyes, a fleeting expression of melancholy, and his solicitude hnd been aroused. Something caused htm to re frain from questioning her, but be did considerable pondering about It. "What a shame it Is that a girl llko Emma 'Isn't married to some nlco fel low worthy of her," he remarked ono evening, uttering his thoughts aloud. "There are somo things that no man can understand, and this Is one of 'cm that sho should be handcuffed to a dirty scnlnwng like Brooks." "Captain," ejaculated Mrs. Harris, raising her hnnds, "you mustn'tl You know it is understood thnt tho per son's name is never to bo men tioned." "I know," ho said, "but you can't alter facts because, being disagreeable, you don't want to remember 'em. Brooks is a disagreeable fact, a darned disagrccablo fact, and bo's Emma's husband into the bargain. As such ho ain't ,to be ignored altogether, be causo he stands between her and tho fair pasture lands." "Why, captain," smiled Emma, "I'm happy enough. What more could I want than the peace I have?" "Are you sure, girl?" ho answered, shaking bis head doubtfully. "I don't know I don't know." "Certainly she's happy," put In Beth. "And, ns for getting married again, I should think she's hnd enough of that to last her all her life." "It's your turn now, Beth," observed Emma. "Me? Oh, I shall never marry!" "It doesn't follow because I have been unfortunate that you should be," said Emma. "It la easy to conceivo of perfect happiness with the right husband." "Of courso I mean I won't marry until the proper man comes along. I should never mako the mistake of binding myself to such a man ns as that beast, or even Jlmsy, for Instance, though I'm not comparing Jlmsy with him in any. way." "What's tho matter with Smith T' grunted the captain. "Well, you would never think of him as a lover. He's bo old and unroman- tic. Besides, his education's terribly defective." "And he isn't rich," added her moth er. "When Beth marries 1 hope it Will be to a gentleman In the position to keep her as she ought to be kept. "I wonder why Jlmsy doesn't come around any more." said Beth. "He hasn't been hero since Christmas." "He says he's too busy," observed Mrs. Hnrrls. "Captain, you must be working him to death." "Smith's a good man. n corking good man," replied the captain thoughtfully. He's doing more work than any three. the man who starts off at top speed that always wins the race." "What you say may be all true, but theso qualities haven't made Jlmsy rich so far, and I doubt If thoy ever will. A man can t have everything, DEFINING THE 8AU8AQE.

No, and if ho were as wealthy as the grand Turk I'd starve to death be fore I'd touch any money or anything cIbc belonging to him," commented Emma. "Mrs. Harris," answered the cap tain, with deep feeling, "money, while It's a whole lot, nln't everything, as I'vo found, though it's taken me sixty- flvo years to do It. Ifs no fault of Emma's that she's poor, and I tell you that if she was to marry a man like Smith I'd settle $500,000 worth of Latin-American lino stock on her for a wedding present I would, by Sam, tnn'am!" "Tou would do that?" asked Mrs. Harris, overwhelmed with astonish ment "This minute." "Weill" It wns all she could find to say about the reiteration.

This cull nary confection Is of ancient line ago. King, In his curious and Inter esting "Art of Cooking," remarks that "Varlus Hollogabalus had the peculiar glory of first making saus ages of shrimps, crabs, oysters, prawns and lobsters." Elagabalui, as King should have written it was Emperpr of Rome from the yoar 218 to 222, when he was killed by his sol diers at the age of eighteen years, nnd Is remembered for no worthy act unless It be the Invention of tho crus tacean sausage. But even the sausage of Elagabalus could not compare with the good old-fashioned country saus age mado of fresh pork and seasoned with pepper and salt and sage and various other herbs, the like of which town dwellers rarely find In' the markets.

But It had been a cautious anchoring, maintained with distrust nnd carrying with It no reci procity in the shape of business or any other favors. A fighter who had got nothing out of existence without fight ing, ever on the alert to forestall an exacted treacherous blow, his hand had flown to his hip pocket so to speak, at the slightest movement that appeared to him to be suspicious. As time wore on. however, his dis trust had vanished. and Mrs. Harris nnd her daughters had become a necessity to him. He was being civilized. Ho preferred Emma to the others, which is saying that she was the person he liked best on earth, but his manner of 6howlng It had been repellent because , misunderstood. In the first place sho had hated him for his supposed injus- tlce to her husband, whereas, having j read Brooks through from the start, he despised him and would not help him even to make her lot easier. When 1 reawakened distrust battling with un- I willingness to believe that his high estimate of her had been unmerited, had caused him to try her out relent lessly on the occasion of her appeal for Brooks, alone with him nnd at his mercy in his rooms, she had seen . that a warm heart, full of pure re- I gard for her, beat beneath his forbid- ( ding exterior. From that night sho had learned to respect him nnd Judge 1 him at his real value. His actions and idiosyncrasies received at last their . true Interpretation. I As for Williams, tho proof that he ' had not been deceived in her fortified his faith and made biLi really happy. He was getting old. lie had won his hard fought, lifelong battle with tho world and was as rich as ho cared to be. The devil was disposed to turn monk, Tho yearning for affectiou. not demonstrative, but existent, which came with the approach of life's sunset and which was not to be found elsewhere was gratified there. He put on slip pers, smoked bU pipe, had his favorite chair, expressed his views in his au thoritative way and liked to be con sulted. But he never ceased to be impressed with the ostentatious proclivities nnd aristocratic airs of Mrs. Harris nnd different to the turn the conversation had taken, though in truth she was listening greedily to Williams' enco miums. "D" you know," went on the captain, "I'vo often thought that a man like Smith would be Just the right kind of a husband for Emma." "Like Jlmsy?" Mrs. Hnrrls lnughed. She did not know whether he was Joking or not, but thought he was. This time a sudden flush dyed Em ma's cheeks and deepened over her face to the very cars. No one noticed "I'd settle half a million dollar ti'orUt on her for a wedding jtracnt.''

The Trinity Church Corporation has done well to take the public Into Its confidence by breaking the seal of secrecy which for so many years has excited suspicion and Indignation against the church. The taxable val uation of tho property and tho total assets of the church are something over fourteen millions of dollars, and not three or four times that amount. as has often been stated. Tho total Income is seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and the expenses something more than that In regard to the tenement houses the explana' tlon elven Is that many of them owned by the pariah are little, old fashioned, three-story houses where tho inhabltnnts hate plenty of sun shine and fresh air, and that there are no houses of questionable moral reputation on any part of the land controlled by tho corporation. Now It Is up to somo one to make good the charges that have been made that some of the tenement houses arc grossly and culpably deficient In snnl tary conveniences and water supply.

There Ib nothing so satisfactory for washing windows as chamois skin, llowevor, many people avoid using It because of the seeming difficulty in washing out the chamois Itself. To prevent tho leather from becoming stiffened through washing, first mako a thick lather of soap and wator. add ing a llttlo ammonia. Do not rub tho chamois on n board, but let It soak, patting it between the hnnds occasion ally. If there nro spots so soiled that thoy do not come out easily, rub them with the hands. Uso warm water, not hot, for rinsing, and press out ull tho water possible. Tako out all superllu ous wator by rolling the chamois In a cloth for a few moments. Open out aud smooth It Into shape, drying It In a moderately cool placo, proferably where there Is u curront of frosh air. A chamois skin so treated will last for years and bo quite as soft when worn out as when It was purchased. Chlcaeo lawyers hold that a Juror with whiskers will always soak the defendant Perhaps such Jurors feol that they must do something to get evon.
