    BPLE JACK,
He Went to Work and There Were Results.
"Marriage between us in our pres
ent circumstances would bo a mis
take," said the girl.
The man looked his wonderment
nt ot mild blue eyes. He sipped his
coffee, blew cigar smoke lazily up
ward and appeared to think.
"Circumstances," ho observed,
"were never more propitious."
The girl shrugged her shoulders In
comic despair.
"Will you never understand me.
Jack, dear?" she asked.
Jack smiled. "Why should I?" he
returned. "If I understood you
doubtless you wouldn't charm me as
yon do. Ignorance with me Is blise."
The girl fell silent and the man
continued to sip his coffee and smoke
as if ho hadn't a care in -the world.
Thoso who knew John Wood
Knight and those who knew of him
would have wondered with him at tho
girl's remark. He was born In the
pnrple, os birth goes In New York.
Of good family, with a fortune that
made work unnecessary, possessing a
strong and handsome body, which
housed a mind of average education
and Intelligence, ho did not seem to
be the sort of man to make nny wo
man doubt the advantage of marry
ing him. He was distinctly eligible
and had been much sought after until
It was evident that Priscilla Sanborn
bad annexed him for good.
Priscilla had not always had
doubts. Rho had nccepted with pride
congratulations on her engagement
to John. Their friends said It was an
Ideal match. The man was tall.
fair-haired and pink skinned, tho wo
man a brunette above the average In
height and of exceptionally good fig
are. Outwardly they were well
matched.
They had dined this night in a
Back room of the Cafe Pimllco, one
ef those quiet places within sight of
Broadway but free from the glare
and noise of that resplendent thor
oughfare. They had been here
many times before. John had said It
was the only place In New York you
could get things properly cooked,
and he was a stickler for good cook
ing.
"You can't eat frills," he said
when some one asked him why he
didn't go to the places approved by
fashion. John was very good to him
self in the matter of eating.
Priscilla had asked John to bring
lier to the Plmlico this night. She
tad Bald, somewhat oracularly, that
they must have a good talk; a good
down to the boots talk was the way
he put it.
Priscilla was a very sensible young
woman. Those who knew her at all
Intimately declared that her good
sense was very pronounced, that it
was impossible for her to be frivolous.
She never allowed her feet to stray
where her head had not pointed the
way.
She had been silent through din
ner. Max, the rotund waiter, had
served them :n astonishment, for they
were old customers and usually were
very talkative. After he had brought
. the coffee he withdrew, shaking his
head doubtfully.
"I'm afraid Mr. Knight and his
young lndy have had a falling out,"
lie remarked to the chef.
The chef. Intent upon a dish the
success of which in other hands
would have been doubtful, grunted.
"Too bad" and went on with his work.
John had not worried over Prls
ellla's preoccupation, and even her
declaration that their marriage would
be a mistake did not get below the
ven surface of his mind.
Priscilla watched him with a queer
little smile. She loved him, she told
Herself; the trouble was she loved
Sim sensibly. When you let the head
ule over the heart romance takes
wings. Is it not so, you who have
loved?
However, Priscilla had made up
her mind to something and it was
bound to come out. She stopped
smiling and returned to the attack.
"I want you to listen to me, Jack,"
she said, "I want you to understand
why our marriage as matters are now
would be a mistake. I have read
much and I have observed more, and
I have come to the conclusion that
tho man who doesn't work, who
doesnt bear his burden of the world's
burden, will not make a good hus
band, and" she hesitated for a mo
ment and blushed prettily "and will
not make a good father. Jack, dear,
you're a loafer."
, "Sure," said Jack. "Why not?"
"Why don't you work?" persisted
Priscilla.
"Don't have to," said Jack.
1 "Jack," Bald Priscilla somewhat
. sharply, "If you marry me you've got
to work."
"Good Lord!" said John Wood
Knight, startled, "so that's what you
want All right, I'll work. Don't
mind work a bit If It pleases you.
- What shall it be?"
Priscilla did not deceive herself
into thinking she had won. She was
prepared for this ready acquiescence.
"I want you to make a career for
yourself."
"What in, pray?"
' "In politics."
"Well, I'll be hanged," said Jack
"Wouldn't I Just make an ass of my
self in politics? I suppose you want
me to be President?"
"Hardly that, Jack. At least not
yet a while." Priscilla was serious.
"But it has been on my mind for some
time that my husband must be a man
Who does something else than spend
the money other people made for him.
You don't have to work for money,
so you must work for fame. I'm
afraid you wouldn't gain much fame
in literature or art, or even in a pro
fession even if you wore to go to
schoorall over again. Politics it is.
You'll be a reformer, and with me to
help you you will make yourself
somebody."
Til bet you won't," said Jack. He
cat up straight ana took control 01
tho talk. "Now, you listen to me,
rrisctlla. Do I understand you to say
Hint vnu won't marry me unless I
work?"
Priscilla nodded.
"All right. Now I want you, Trls.
cilia." He reached out his hand ana
patted hers as it lay on the table. "I
want you, and If I've got to work to
net you. why. I'll work. You are so
keen on the dignity of labor that I ll
have to go at it; but 1 am going to
pick out my own job."
That's tho talk. Jack, dear," said
Priscilla clapping her hands. "What
will you do?"
I'll be a cook," said Jack.
A cook!" Priscilla almost
shrieked. Then she laughed. "Don t
dear," she said, "this is serl-
Jokc
ous."
'And I am serious," responded
Jack, very serious, indeed. I am
nuite content to live the life as it
came to me, without questioning the
right or wrong, but I grant you the
emptiness of my life has mndo me
dissatisfied at times. I looked to you
to fill that emptiness, to keep me al
ways in tune with life. But ;ou be
lieve In work and don't want me un
less I work. Therefore the logic Is
easy I must work. And I will work
at the only thing for which I have an
aptitude cooking. And when I have
made a name for myself I will return
to you bringing my laurels."
Priscilla had no word ready, so
John went on.
"If you could have found your
tongue you would have said that it
isn't the work for a gentleman. I
know. But If you believe In the dig
nity of labor, so do I, and I believe
that any work that is fit for the man
is fit for the gentleman. Not that I
recognize any essential difference be
tween the man and the gentleman,
but I fear you do. Now you know
I can cook. Haven't I been the cook
when we went to Dick falling's camp
in the Adlrondacks and didn't you ap
plaud with the others? I like to
cook, too. A frying pan enthuses me
to do great things and I have a posi
tive love for a broiler."
"Max," he called to the waiter.
Max came up with the bill.
"Not yet, Max," said John. "Can
you tell me If there is a vacancy hero
for a cook?"
"The' second cook ' left yesterday.
sir. Have you some one to recom
mend?"
"Yes, myself." -
"It phases you to jest, Mr
Knisht." Max was somewhat
aggrieved.
"No joke at all," raid John. "I
havo derided to stop loafing and go to
work. There is nothing I can do bet
ter than cook. Who hires the cooks
here?" '
"The chef, sir."
"Ask him to come In, please." All
the other guests had gone, so his re
quest could be granted.
"Yes, sir," said Max, departing for
the kitchen.
Priscilla had found her tongue.
"Don't be a fool, Jack," she almost
snapped.
Jack's blue eyes beamed on her.
"It's your own doing, dear," he
said.
Mai returned, having in tow a port
ly, white aproned, white capped indi
vidual, who bowed ceremoniously.
"This gentleman," said Max to the
chef, indicating John Knight, Jwould
like to cook for you."
"That's right," said Jack. "Can
you give me a job, Mr. "
"Pelletier," put in Max.
M. Pelletier bowed. He spoke Eng
lish with scarcely an accent. '
"Possibly," he said. "I will give
you a trial anyway, because you ap
preciate my cooking, as I know. But
if you work for me it must be serious.
The kitchen of the Cafe PimUco is not
a Bchool for cooks, and it is not a
place for idleness."
"I mean business," said Jack, "and
will report for duty to-morrow. At
what time?"
"Come at 10 o'clock," said M. Pel
letier. He bowed and moved ma
jestically back to the kitchen.
Jack paid his bill and he and Pris
cilla left the restaurant. Priscilla
was fairly dazed. In the taxlcab she
was silent and John, having had bis
say, wisely refrained from further
speech.
At her home John declined to go
in for the usual lovers' good night
chat. As Boon as he had been ad
mitted he turned to go.
"Until I have earned the right I
shall not see you," he declared.
He marched down the stoop, w-hlle
a young woman who a few hours be
fore had felt sure of herself and of
John fled to her room and cried. She
regarded tears as unnecessary, but
to-night they came unbidden. Were
they for wounded pride or for some
thing missed? Jack had gono with
out kissine her good night. As PrlB-
cilla was a sensible young woman let
us suppose that she soon dried her
eyes,
John Wood Knight went to work
the next day in the kitchen of the
Cafs Pimllco. It was a different
Pelletier who received him.
"Understand, young man," be said,
"you've got to work. Why you are
doing this I don't know, but since
you are doing it you've got to do it
right."
"Quito right, sir," said John
Knight.
John was almost discouraged at the
end of the third day. Routlno was
hard to him. Then came a change.
Without realizing it, he had come to
like the work. It was with pride
that he sent out a filet a la Marengo
or a Chateaubriand Pimllco to some
particular guest, while Petteller nod
ded grudgingly npproval.
One day he prepared a dish of his
own contriving, a dish ho had set be
fore his friends many times in his
idle days. Pelletier had a little don
off the kitchen and at Pelletlor's din
ner hour Jack sent In the dish with
his compliments. He waited with a
bov's eaeerness to hear what the
great cook would say.
Pelletier did not appear for some
time and tho more he delayed the
more Jack hoped. Finally Pelletier
emerged.
"Your dish?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," said Jack.
"We will put it on the bill of fare,"
said the chef. Jack blushed with
pleasure. So it happened that ragout
d'agneau a la Jack became a popular
dish at the Cafe Pimllco.
Max the waiter had taken a friend
Iy interest in Jack's endeavors and
favored him from time to time with
the gossip of the cafe. When any
diners appeared whom Max recog
nized ns Jack's friends he would bring
back word to the kitchen. One night
Max came in somewhat agitated
"Miss Sanborn is with a party at
my table," he said.
"Yes?" said the new second cook.
"She has insisted on the ragout a
la Jack."
Jack set about preparing it with an
odd smile. Later in the evening he
called Max.
"Did Miss Sanborn say anything to
you?" he asked.
"Nothing." Jack looked disap
pointed. "But she ate and ate of the
ragout," declared Max, and Jack
brightened. "At least my work is ap
preciated," he said to himself.
Jack Knight had been the second
cook in the Pimlico for a month when
he had realized that he had found a
vocation. He had begun the work
partly in a spirit ot bravado, but the
liking he had had for amateur culln
nry pursuits had grown into a pas
sion. It was in him to be a cook.
Maybe his great-grandmother or some
other ancestor had been a cook and
he was a revision to type.
Jack began to dream. He would
excel in this profession into which the
word ot a woman had sent him. He
would be a head chef better still, he
would have his own establishment. It
came to him as a surprise that he
could have a place of his own. He
had forgotten that he was wealthy.
There was nothing rash about John
Knight. He would stay a year in the
Pimllco, if need be, until he had mas
tered nt least part of the science of
cooking; then he would open a place
which would attract the gourmets of
the world. Old Pelletier would be
his steward and between them they
would make the Cafe Jack famous.
His musings were interrupted by
the unusual sound of a woman's
voice. Women came rarely to the
Pimlico kitchen. He looked ever the
serving counter and beheld a vision.
His first glance caught two roguish
black eyes, a pretty mouth, half open
a?, if to let out a question, and rosy
cheeks, a dimple in each. Later he
added to the picture hair of the deep
est black, arranged in a studied lack
of order, and a hat which was all red
rosas. Jack, It must be confessed,
stared. He became aware that the
vision was talking.
"Where is papa?" it said.
"Who is papa?" responded Jack,
"Monsieur Pelletier."
"I'll call him." Jack got a chair
for her and summoned hia chef,
"Antoinette," said Pelletier, in an
attempt to be severe, "you shouldn't
Interrupt me in business hours.
"But papa, I had to see you, really
and truly, on something that wouldn't
wait."
The chef started to lead the way to
his den. She whispered something to
him and he stopped and beckoned to
Jack,
"My daughter wishes to know
you," he said. "Antoinette, this is
Monsieur Knight, my second cook.
He is a good one. Jack, this is Made
moiselle Pelletier."
'Jack bowed low. Blue eyes met
black in admiration and challenge as
father end daughter departed.
Jack did not see the vision again
for some time. He was wondering if
he ever would, when Pelletier Bur
prised him one night with an invita
tion. "Will you come out witn me
some night to my little cottage In
The Bronx and stay the night?" said
Pelletier. "We will breakfast under
the trees and you shall see my gar
den."
Jack would. Especially would be
take delight in seeing the garden, be
assured Pelletier. But he hoped In-
audibly that someone else than Pelle
tifir would show him the garden. He
was day dreaming when Pelletier
BDOke further:
"Understand, Jack, it Is not the
chef of the Cafe Pimllco who Is invit
ing his second cook. It Is Monsieur
Pelletier, gentleman and I am weH
1. I tnrA "
DOm WUO IB ulll"5 a mcuu.
Jack Dut out his hand. "Thafi
what I want," he said.
Jack found the cottage and the
garden in The Bronx all that could bo
desired. M. Pelletier did not show
him the garden. For a day at least
Jack forgot his other world and for
cot what sent him Into this. He re
turned to bis .pots and pans with
greater enthusiasm for the work.
That Cafe Jack of the future had a
deeper meaning. He made frequent
trips to the garden in The Bronx. He
said it gave him inspiration.
One dull afternoon he was alon m
the kitchen absorbed In making a
new sauce when Max appeared mysteriously.
"Miss Sanborn is in the back room
and wishes to see you," said Max.
Jack hesitated. He didn't want to
leave his sauce and yet the kitchen
was hardly the place for the talk ho
knew was coming; but it was as good
as nny other part of the restaurant
and Jack had an idea that he would
like to have Priscilla see him at work.
So he asked Max to bring Miss San
born in.
Priscilla came In somewhat timidly.
Aggressiveness seemed to have gono
from her. Jack reached his hand
over the serving counter and gravely
shook hers.
"How d'ye do?" ho said. "You see
I am intent on a sauce, but we can
talk as I work."
"The ragout was fine," said Pris
cilla. "Thank you," said Jack. He was
decidedly cool and at ease. Prlscilln
wa3 embarrassed.
"I've been expecting to see you,
dear," she said meekly.
"Too busy," said Jack, reaching for
the mustard pot. He measured out
a portion with a critical eye and
dumped it into the mess before him.
"I was wrong. Jack," the girl burst
out, "and a fool, too, to tell you to ga
to work. You've done enough. Come
back into the world and to me."
Jack stirred the contents of the
saucepan thoughtfully and put the
pan on the stove. He kept a watch
ful eye on It.
"If this turns out right," he ob
served, "there will be a change on the
bill of fare to-morrow."
Priscilla stamped her foot. "Will
you be serious, Jack?" she exclaimed.
"You have kept up this play long
enough. I made you do It and now
I want you to Btop it."
"Can't," said Jack.
"You mean you won't."
"No. I mean I can't." The sauce

Wagner's Music.
At a London dinner years ago and
now dosoribed in a book of recollec
tions, Edward King, the author, was
most enthusiastic in his praise of
Wagner, not only as a musician but
as a poet. "I have no doubt," he
said, at length, "that In coming
time Wagner will bo ranked above
Beethoven and Schiller?" "I quite
agree with you," responded L. Alma
