PAGE SIX 1?HE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1913; THE BRAMBLY COTTAGE The Story of a Rescue By CLARISSA MACKIE leander KlttrcdKO leaned over the fence nnd Bcrutlnlzcd the inquiring atrangcr, who carried flsblng rods and baBket. "What sa-ny?" he drawled, cupping one freckled hand around a large and leathery ear. "I asked if there was good fishing In the lake," repeated the man pa tiently. "Sometlrnos there is and sometimes there ain't," returned Mr. Klttredge, with nn enigmatic smile. "How's that?" "It all depends on Faustina Stnnd Ish," chuckled Leander. "It all de pends on Faustina!" The stranger looked puzzled. "Who Is Faustina Standlsh?" "She owns the lake and It's her say so whether there's fish to be caught or not" "Oh. I didn't know it was private property! The people at the hotol said nny one could fish there." "Belongs to Faustina. It's her say 80." "Where does she live?" "Down In that brambly cottage at the shore now. In the winter time she moves up to her house in the vil lage. Some day Faustina '11 get kctch ed by a high tide or something and cottage and all Ml float off." Leander shook with Pilent mirth. "Tide! I thought It was a fresh wa ter lake." "It's a bay nothing more or less than a Ieetle salt water bay, with just the teeniest outlet to the sound. Standishes have always owned the nay, nnd now It's Faustina's, and she's got n cottage down there that has Its feet in the water sometimes. She nnd that grampusslng old black cook, Cleopatra, have it all to themselves from June to October." "No harm In asking permission to fish?" ventured the stranger. And, following Leander's guiding finger, he turned Into another woody road that led him down to the water's edge. Davis Emery paused In sheer admi ration of the tiny bay, perhaps a quar ter of a mile lu diameter, lipped by a snow white sandy beach with a back ground of gently sloping pastures and cedar clothed hillsides. Directly op posite was a rift In the white beach that showed the channel, with a dark rim of the sound beyond. Tho sky was blue, and tho water reflected the pure tint. The tido had been an un usually high one, for bits of dried driftwood were floating away from tho high water mark. Long linos of dead seaweed undulated with the swell of the ebbing tide. Nowhere nlong the beach was there n sign of a "brambly cottage" such as Leander Klttredge had described. Not far from where ho was standing, however, there was a small building, whitewashed outside and In and speck lessly clean. An indignant clucking from a nesting box In one corner re vealed that this was a chicken house, nnd it was evident that the tide had lapped tho floor of the building, for tho sand lay in little riffled, damp lines. If this was Faustina Standish's chicken house her brambly cottage could not be far away. But look as ho might up and down tho beach he saw nothing save a sweep of wet sand nnd glistening pebbles. All at once Emery saw it In tho most unexpected place. There, bobbing drunkonly In the middle of tho little bay, was a small white cottage over run with red roses. The water swashed around tho tiny porch and broke In wblte foam ngalnst tho sides of the building. From a small iron chimney smoko poured forth as if this unex pected trip on the water had not hin dered tho round of domestic duties. Up on a balcony above the porch a wo man was sitting composedly, reading a book. There was only one thing for Davis Emory to do and that was to rescue tho damsel as quickly as possible. In order to do that he must havo a boat, and, looking about, he soon made the unpleasant discovery that there were three very capable looking small boats adrift on tho bay. Ho raced madly up the shore and found nothing save a brokeu oar half burled in the salt grass. With this in his hand he went back to tho chicken coop and there behind It, resting on tho sloping bank, wero tho outlines of a flat bottomed skiff beneath a covering of tarpaulin nnd dried seaweed. After fifteen minutes labor ho had tho covering cleared nway and tho boat afloat Uowlocks there wero none, but Emery could paddle even with n broken oar, eo ho pushed off and Kent bobbing slowly toward the bram bly cottage, which was also bobbing on tho tide and headed straight for the narrow, wicked looking channel. Perhaps tho girl had suddenly thought of tho channel, for all at once she arose and went to the railing and leaned over nnd looked long and anxi ously at the course of tho cottage. Sho saw Emery just then, and in response to his hall ho heard a faint response. Tho current was stronger now, nnd tho speed of both cottngo and skiff was accelerated, so that Emery did not gain much on the llttlo house, but after nwhllo hl strong, steady persistent strokes counted for results, and Just when ho was berinnlntr in fool tlm strain or his hurried efforts a Tvave brought tho skiff to the edgo of tho porch nnd he reached out nnd grasped tho edge. In another Instant he was standing on the boardn, ankle deep un der water, and making fast tho painter of the skiff to tho rnillng. As ho turned from this task the door opened behind him and revealed the girl of the balcony standing there. Brown ns a berry wore hair eyes nnd brow. Her skin was deep cream, with a powdering of goldnu freckles across her lovely face. Even In that moment of danger Davis Emery realized her I beauty, and he drew n sharp breath or admiration. But the girl's voice, soft and cultivated, brought him back to tho urgency of the situation. "If you have come to help us," she said quickly, "you can best do It by keeping us out of the channel if you can." "I'll try." snld Emery promptly. "Have you got a heavy rope or n chain aboard I mean In the house?" "No, but there is ono In my motor boat See It is In the same current and will sootl reach us! If you can get aboard and 'start the cngino you enn easily pull us out of the current." By the time she had finished speak ing Emery was back In tho skiff nnd paddling awny with his broken oar. It was a matter of minutes before ho had boarded the large motorboik, started up tho cngino and caught up with the brambly cottage. Th girl cheered htm heartily ns he passed around to tho rear of the building, where ho fastened a stout chain to a ringbolt in the back porch nnd, starting up the engine once more, bad the satisfaction of feeling that tho cottage was drawing steadily In his wake out of the current nnd to ward a low sandy shore. All at once a large black face sur mounted by n bright bandanna turban appeared at one of tho windows. "Fo' de lan's sake, man, huccome yo' heah?" she demanded belligerently. "Hev yo' ask Miss Faustlny yit?" "I have Miss Faustina's permission to tow you to safety," laughed Emery heartily. "Dat's all right, don. But dere's folkses always tryln' to take llbycrtles wid Miss Faustlny, nnd her's only too easy wid 'em. But dey don't git by me; no, sah!" Cleopatra withdrew her brilliantly ndorned head, and Emery heard her clattering among the pots nnd pans. Presently her voice sounded once more. "Man, ef yo' could manidgo to git us ashore down by high bar I could git a mess o' clams for dlnnah!" she called amicably. "I'm under Miss Faustina's orders," returned Emery. At that moment the girl appeared nt tho back door. "I don't know how to thank you for your kindness in rescu ing us," she said sincerely. "If we had gone on tho rocks in tho channol I am afraid we would havo fared badly. When our cottage suddenly drifted oft at 7 o'clock Cleopatra nnd I had just arisen nnd wero upstairs. I thought wo would simply float ncross tho bay to tho other shore and we could easily bo towed back from that point, so I felt no nlarm until I discovered wo were In the current nnd making for the channel. We owe n great deal to your pluck In getting us Into smooth water." "I'm mighty glad I happened nlong," responded Emery. "Now, would it not be n good plan to beach the cottage on the sand hero? And when tho tide shifts lnte this afternoon it will be comparatively easy to tow it back to its location with this boat" Faustina agreed heartily, and In un otber half hour Emery had skillfully maneuvered the brambly cottage to a temporary resting place not far from the high bar which showed a long strip of mud flat in the falling tide. Cleopatra descended to the sand with clam rake and basket on her arm nnd trudged to the mud flat Emery assisted Faustinn Standlsh to land, and when he had made both house and motorboat secure beyond any encroaching wavo ho sat down be side her on tho sand and explained how he had happened to invade the shore of her llttlo bay. Of course the service he bad rendered her and the spirit of tho adventure In which they had both taken a part rapidly pro moted a friendship that was not bro ken for many months, and then for n most excellent reason. Cleopatra presently summoned them to an appetizing clnmbake, which, com bined with tho moal she had been bus ily preparing, quite rounded out u de lightful morning. It was sundown when tho brambly cottage was oneo more securely moored above high water mark near Its old resting place. Davis Emery's permls sion to fish in the bay contained many added privileges, such ns calling upon Faustina Standlsh onco in nwhllo and enjoying Cleopatra's culinary triumphs, for Cleopatra approved of Davis Em ery. Ills basket was empty and his lines quite dry ns ho passed Leander Kit- tredgo's back fence nt sunset Leander was there playing with nn awkward, long legged colt. "Hev a good ketch?" grinned Lean der sociably. Emery found himself smiling at a sudden recollection. "Very," ho snid. "Found Faustina nnd tho brambly cottage, did ye? I reckoned she'd let ye fish never, heerd of her rcfusi.V nnybody yet but, of course, nobody ever knows what notion n womnn'U take Into her head!" "Seo you again," said Emery Jn fare well, nnd as ho walked homo through tho quiet woods bo wondorcd if Faus tina Standlsh would ever "tako n no tion" to like him better than nnybody she had ever met, and It turned out that Faustina did that very thing, and bo when tbelr friendship ended love bo ean and remained ever after. JVIttady's JVHtrov To Avoid Grayness. Most women past middle ago look handsomer with gray hair unless they nro fat nnd colorless, but tho difficult; is to make them bellove It. A missionary says that fow of tho natlvo women havo grny hair when advanced In years. This she attribute to tho nearly universal use of grease on the hair. A scalp specialist when asked about this theory said: "There Is much in it. Gray hair often comos from too little oil In the scalp. If women would grease their hair more it would keep its coloi longer." Tho objection to a greasy head cat bo overcome. A little vaseline can b well rubbed Into the scalp once n week. If this cannot be done without getting It in the long hair, go to a hairdresser. If you will not use vaseline, nt least give the hair a thorough oiling each time before It is shampooed, which should be about once n month In cold weather, oftener In summer. Rub tho hnlr with crude oil the night before It Is to bo washed. Do not use too much. About half what the ama teur thinks necessary will be more than enough. As even this small amount is ruinous to bed linen, tie up tho hend and put an old case on the pillow. Some women wear n bathing cap for the one night. Besides giving tho oil needed to pre vent grayness, this application of crude oil keeps out dandruff as nothing else will. Where there is n tendency in families to turn gray early extra caro of the hair must bo taken. Do not use dry washes on it nnd bo careful of hoi curling Irons. Where thero Is a tendency to graj hair cultivate n placid disposition Worry nets on tho nerves, nnd nervou disorders unchecked are harmful to the hair. For the same reason fight off bad headaches. Besides their discom fort tho hair suffers. Thus indirectly eyo strain Is responsible for gray and fulling hair. Caro of tho Throat. A famous throat doctor, who cares for tho vocal organs of many of tho greatest of our opera singers, makes the unqualified statement that If throats and noses wero systematically cleansed many Illnesses, including bronchitis, catarrh and consumption would be averted. A salt water douche and gargle to cleanse tho throat and noso thoroughly should bo used, ho declnres. at leas! twico a day. "Fill n wide mouthed bottle," ho ad vises, "holding a pint, with boiled wa ter nnd add to it n tenspoonful of com mon sea salt. When you rise in the morning and when you retire at night after gargling the throat with the SO' lutlon, fill tho hollow of tho hand with It nnd draw It up tho noso, throwing the head bnck. This last should bo dono carefully. It will cause coughing, but will completely clear nil tho llttlo spaces nnd intricate passages of tho nose nnd throat." Toilet Suggestions. When tho hair splits clip tho ends. For Ink stnlns on tho fingers try lemon nnd salt. Corns can bo removed by dally rub bing with toilet pumice. Ono dram of boric acid mixed with four ounces of distilled witch hazel make a good lotion for a greasy skin. Apply with a soft cloth or velvet sponge. "When the first symptoms of a head' acho appear tako ono teaspoonful of clear lemon juice fifteen minutes be fore each meal nnd nt bedtime and continue until symptoms nre past. For blllotisuess plain lemon juice pro motes sleep nnd nppetlto. Soap nnd water are needed to re move blackheads, which aro caused by dirt collecting In the pores. After rinsing tho face in clean water rub over it n pleco of ice. This will con tract the pores. After drying the skin apply witch hazel to it Billiard Parlor for Women. A billiard parlor for women has been opened In Kansas City by Mrs. Bertha May King, tho champion woman bil liard player. It has fifteen tables and female attendants. Speaking of her enterprise, Mrs. King said: "Women will be glad to learn tho great Indoor game If they aro provided proper places. Few If nny of tho public rooms are exclusive enough for wom en. I propose to inako my place one of refinement nnd oxcluslon, where women can learn and enjoy billiards and feel free to como and go. As an cvdenco of the benefit of tho game as an exercise I can say that slnco I have played billiards I havo rarely expert enccd a day's Illness." Tea Making Hints. TJso wnter which has just come to a boll, but which hns not been boiled beforo or allowed to simmer on tho Btovo for some time. Wnrin the tenpot by pouring in hot water a fow minutes beforo tho ten is required and nllow it to remain in tho pot until the tea is made. Allow one teaspoonful of ten to each person, with ono oxtrn one. Pour boiling wnter nnd nllow to stand for three to flvo minutes. Fill tho teapot or ho tea will cooi rapidly. HUMOR OF THE DAY He Couldn't Take It. When Charlie Tole went to work for the Armours In Chicago ho learned that It was the habit of Philip Armour to get to his desk every morning nt 0:30. A month after Tolo took his Job, Philip returned to town, nnd tho following morning Charlie was at his desk nt 0:30 o'clock for the first timo in his life. Mr. Armour wnlkcd in nt 0:33, pinch ed himself to see If he wns nwako nnd then stared nt Tole. Charlie went on with his nrduous Inbors. 'How long havo you been working here?" usked the magnate. "Oh, about a month," replied Char- He carelessly. "Do you get down to work at this time every morning?" continued Ar mour, immensely pleased. "I do," said Charlie, "when you're in town." This brutal frankness made a hit with Armour, nnd always after that Tole was one of his favorites. When Christmas came he called Charlie Into his office, produced n hand some gold watch nnd chain, handed it to Tole and said graciously: "You have rendered valuable service to this business, nnd I think It deserves recognition. I give you this ns a sign of my appreciation." Tole took tho watch, examined It ap preciatively, nnd then gravely handed It back. "No," he said slowly. "I'm sorry, but I can't accept that, Mr. Armour." "Why not?" nsked tho big man in amazement "Because," explained Tole, "I've been Informed that if you ever give n man n present you never raise his salary." Popular Magazine. The Other End. Tho recent return from n cruise of tho well known Joe Donavaro recalls the story of tho way in which he se cured his first job. Joe npplied to a Boston skipper many years ago for a position on his ship. He nsserted bold ly that he knew everything which was to bo known about a vessel, although ho was at that timo only a lad of fif teen. "Well." said the captain, with n grin, "let's see how much you know. Find me three ends to that rope thero nnd I'll give you n job." Ho pointed to n new coil of rope which he had Just purchased. Joe eyed tho rope a minute and then pointed to the usunl two ends. "Thero are two of your ends," he said. Then suddenly, before the skip per could stop him, he picked up tho rope and heaved It overboord, saying as he watched it disappear, "There's another end to your rope." Boston Traveler. Why They Retired. Two gentlemen who were playing cards at a club recently wero annoyed by other members who stood behind their chairs and Interested themselves In the game. Finally ono of the play ers asked a spectator to play the hand for him until he returned. The spectator took the cards, where upon the first player left tho room. Pretty soon the second player followed the example of the first. The two sub stitutes played for some time, when one of them asked tho waiter where the two original players were. "They aro playing cards In tho next room, sir," was the waiter's reply. Tit-Bits. Gender. A woman teacher was explaining gender to a grade of young children as visitors entered. They begged her to continue, ns they would bo delighted to hear the children's replies. "Children," she asked, "what Is 'girl,' 'woman,' 'man?' " Ono llttlo baud was so eager she ap pealed to the owner proudly. "Well, Artie?" Artie rose to tho occasion. "Girls Is females, woman's n male, and mnn's n human bean." Judge. Still a Chance. "I hear, sir," began Sittiraan, "that you want to sell your house in Coin muterville." "I sold it last week to Mr. Jones." "Indeed? Well, do you know of nny ono clso who has n place for sale there?"
