HIS CHINESE WALL.
BY MARY DAWSON.
The "Artist's Court" is very far out
of the way, on the extreme borders of
the Latin Quarter. And if, when you
visit Paris, your apartments are on the
"Champs," you have probably never
dreamed of the existence of such an
arrondissement.
The court from the outside is little
to look at —only a long extent of dreary
prisonlike gray wall, at one end sur
mounted by a headless bust of Julius
Caesar, with a plaster cast of Bonaparte
in somewhat better condition at the
other.
In April of '93 Ned Wilkes and his
wife, young married people, moved into
the court. They rented numeral
vingt-neuf. It is from them that I had
this story.
During the first three days after mov
ing in Mrs. Wilkes made little ruffled
curtains for the casement windows.
She persuaded Ned to plant their own
iittle parterre in myosotis and pansies.
And she took an inventory of the
neighborhood.
"I know the names of everj'one in
the court, Ned, dear," said Mrs. Wilkes.
"I've spoken with all the women."
"How about the girl in twenty-six?"
Ned asked, lazily. "I thought you
couldn't make her out."
"Oh, I've spoken with her since then.
She's very nice. A little queer, but
nice. She's from the west at home—
Miss Chandler."
"And the fellow in twenty-seven.
That odd crow," continued Wilkes.
"Do you know who he is?"
"1 had forgotten him,"she answered;
"I don't even know his name. He looks
nice, too. Queer, but nice."
"You said that about the girl in
twenty-six," said Ned. "It's a bit of a
coincidence that the girl in twenty-six
and the fellow in twenty-seven should
lie both queer but nice. They ought
to fall in love with each other."
The following morning Mrs. Wilkes'
"bonne" went out to the little village
of Clamart to attend the funeral of a
deceased relative. Wilkes was obliged
personally to extract the household
water from the court hydrant, a job of
which he was not fond. It was in no
gentle mood that, having rolled up his
sleeves, he took a pail in each hand and
tucked a heavy eruclie under one arm.
The pump stood in the shadow of the
Ki'lioolhouse wall.
When Wilkes reached the pump he
found some one before him —the man
from twenty-seven, the odd crow.
His hair, long and black, was blown
in all directions about a face at once
odd and ugly, beautiful and interest
ing. He wore loose black trousers and
the white blouse of an art-worker. And
he stood some six feet in a pair of
French house slippers with red-wool
linings, lie looked up as Wilkes de
posited his burden und smiledj in a
friendly manner.
"You've taken number twenty-nine,
haven't you?" the stranger said. "We're
pretty close neighbors. My name is
Penroyd-—Waltham B. Penroyd, New
York state."
Wilkes exchanged his own name and
birthplace, after which Penroyd ex
tended a long white paw, and they
shook hands.
"You've got too much to carry," ob
served the new neighbor, gluncing at
the various vessels. "Give me that
jug; I'll see it home for you."
Wilkes remonstrated, but the neigh
bor was firm. "Cometahead!" he cried.
"Like as not your wife is waiting for
the water. I haven't any wife, Wilkes.
I wish 1 had,"
He curried the heavy cruche and set
it down 011 the doorstep of number
twenty-nine.
"Come in and see us some time," said
Ned.
"Thank you," he answered, earnestly.
"I have often been tempted to since
you moved in."
"Well, if temptation comes again,
don't resist it," said Ned, laughing.
He came, the following afternoon.
Ned and his wife were sitting as usual
upon the stoop. Ned himself was more
than half asleep. The kitten, drowsy,
too, sprawled across her master's knees
in an ecstasy of purring. Suddenly the
latch of the gate snapped. Ned drew
himself up aud passed a hand across
his eyes in bewilderment. That styl
ish-looking fellow could not be Pen
royd ?
But Penroyd it was. He had dis
carded the loose pantaloons and the
blouse of his working hours. He now
blossomed forth in a tasteful, perfectly
fitting suit of dark muterial. His long
hair had been brushed back within
bounds and the red-lined slippers ex
changed for patent-leather boots, with
all the uddenda necessary to make a
well-dressed man.
He brought n handful of roses for
Mrs. Wilkes—a rare and beautiful Span
ish variety. Ills most cherished rose
tree, idolized and pampered through
out the winter, had been ruthlessly de
spoiled to yield them.
"Lucy, dear," said Wilkes to his wife,
"this is Mr. Penroyd. Sit down, Pen
royd. Glad to see you."
"You see, I didn't wait for a second
invitation, Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes," ho I
suid, smiling.
"We wanted to know you," said Mrs.
Wilkes, burying her pretty face in the
roses.
"Yes," said Ned. "We had caught a
glimpse of you here and there—ut the
pump, in fact—and there was some
thing about you that made us want to
speak."
Penroyd brought his open palm down
sharply on the wooden step, so sharply
that the sleepy kitten started up and
blinked at him inquiringly,
"Why, Wilkes, 1 must say that the
coincidence is remarkable. Now, the
first minute that 1 clapped eyes on you
and your wife 1 wanted to talk with
you. Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes, tam go
ing to come down with the whole truth
nt once and ask your opinion. To
i speak mildly, I'm in the dickens of a
j mess."
Ned struggled to retain his gravity.
I ••There's a girl in it, 1 suppose," he
| said.
"There is, Wilkes. That is why lam
presuming enough to trouble you both
, with my personal affairs. 1 said to my-
I self: 'Wilkes there and Mrs. Wilkes ha vo
just successfully steered their vessel
! into the sea of matrimony. They
i probably found that it wasn't nil
smooth sailing to get there. Here is
Walthnm Penroyd struggling in the
same direction, with every wind that
blows blowing in his teeth. Who knows
but they will let him benefit by their ex
perience?
"Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes," he said,
"if 3 011 permit nie, 1 am going to tell
you about this tiling from beginningto
end. Unfortunately for me, that's a
very short distance."
Ned and his wife were most anxious
to hear.
"You must have noticed," began
Penroyd, "that there is a young lady
in twenty-six—a very handsome and
extraordinary girl, Miss Chandler. She
has a sister—a cripple. They moved
into twenty-six just one month yester
day.
"\\ ilkes, you know what asses we
young fellows arc when there's a girl in
the question. Well, I heard, of course,
that I was to have a young lady neigh
bor. I was sick almost from curiosity.
They came in the evening, and I hadn't
a glimpse in the dark even. The fol
lowing morning about seven o'clock I
heard lier easement open. Her shut
ter creaks just as mine does. I sprang
to the window, wrapping myself in the
curtains to be invisible. And I got
my first glimpse of Edith Chandler.
That was the glimpse that laid me out,
Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes. I knew in
that moment that I could love no girl
but that girl. That I should love he*
for life und death if I never set eves
on her again, I knew as well as if 1
heard it from a burning bush. I left
the window with a cold perspiration on
my forehead. I recognized one of
those traps of fate in which a man is j
weaker than a hummingbird in a cat's
claw.
"It was fully an hour before she left
that window, but I didn't venture an
other look. I sat there in a stupor
with that first image of her burning it
self in on my brain, the image of her
looking out over those orchis-pots, with
that unearthly sadness in her eyes and
the new sunlight 011 her face."
Penroyd stopped speaking and stroked
the kitten's forehead meditatively with
his thumb.
"Good heavens, man!" cried Ned.
"Are you jdesparing of a girl before
you have had an introduction?"
"Oh, I have been introduced, Wilkes.
I mean I introduced myself and we
have spoken together a little over tlu
gate, in fact, the first clay or two I
olmost began to hope. They were so
kind—she and her sister—neighbor
fashion, you know. Rut two weeks did
for that. I have found out that she'
avoids me."
"How do you know, in heaven's
name?"asked Ned.
"The hydrant unfolds the tule," said
Penroyd, dreamily.
Wilkes brushed back the hair from
his eyes and looked at his visitor in as
tonishment.
"What has the court hydrant to dc
with your case, man?" he demanded.
Penroyd broke into a laugh. "I for
got," he said. "I was pretty obscure,
wasn't 1? This is what I meant. At
first Miss Chandler used to come at six
o'clock to draw water for household
purposes—and I got into the liabit of
drawing mine at six, too. In fact,
Wilkes, to tell the truth, I went there
every morning to meet her and to carry
her pails for her. At first she must
have thought it coincidence. Rut she
couldn't remain long in ignorance. And
the moment that she got on to the idea
she stopped coining at six; eaine at
five instead. Now, I leave it to you,
Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes, if that girl
comes out an hour earlier of a chilly
morning isn't it sign enough that she
avoids me?"
On May 8 Miss Wilkes made the fol
lowing entry in her journal of days:
"Ned and I have begun to hope. Mr
Tenroyd sat with Miss Chandler all after- j
noon, from three to six, on her bark steps, t
The sister came over and sat with us. I :
love them both."
On May 9 Ned wrote in the same j
volume:
"Penroyd turned up here this afternoon, i
Stayed half an hour. Said he had told '
Miss Chandler that he loved her. She
asked him not to talk of such things, to
be her friend. 1\ says his brain Is splittlnj: I
with the agony."
On May 10 Mrs. Wilkes as follows:
"Mr. Penroyd sitting with Miss Chandler
again. Three till six. Oh, If she
marry that fellow she's an idiot. He's a 1
good as gold. I like to look at his face.
I can't make her out."
On May 11 her husband:
"The plot thickens. Penroyd told Miss
C. again that he loved her. She confessed
the same thing with regard to him, hut
says they can never marry. There is an
Insurmountable barrier. P. says he can
step over any harrier—the Chinese wall It
self, for example."
May 13 Mrs. Wilkes us follows:
"Poor Mr. Penroyd. Miss Chandler has j
refused to speak again on that subject, the i
only subject that he wants to hear dis- j
cussed. She asked him to forgive her for j
all the unavoidable pain she brought into
his life. Mr. Penroyd naked her to put an
end to the pain as only'she could. Poor i
boy and girl, poor children."
May 15 Ned's entry:
"Ood help W. P. and E. C. This Is one ;
of the saddest cases of the thing whose
course doesn't run smooth. Hung It, I j
should like to know what that fine girl '
has on her mind. They have sub-let !
twenty-six. Will move July 1. Heaven
knows where."
June came—the Parisian June—a
mingling of spring freshness with nuin- '
nier languor, of cool nights and mom- j
ings with sunny afternoons. In the j
affairs of Walthani Penroyd and the
girJ from the west very little was
changed. Penroyd's latest things were
exposed at the salon and well hung, j
He knew of his success through the con- j
gratulations of brother artists. Ko
himself had not gone that year to the
Champ de Mars. In those few weeks
lie had become thinner. A look of
constant abstraction had taken posses
| Bion of his face. Wilkes rallied him
i from time to time concerning this,
j "Penroyd," he said once, "your
j thoughts are wandering in Africa."
| Penroyd laughed, recovering himself
with a start. "In Asia, Wilkes," he
, said. "I uiu trying to climb the Chi
j nose wall."
Wilkes repeated this conversation to
his wife.
"Ned, I think something will happen
to help them, don't you 7"
"I hope so," said Wilkes.
"I think something is going to hap
pen," said Ned's wife.
A young cousin of Mrs. Wilkes re
turned from a winter in Italy, a boyish
young fellow, living from hand to
mouth, and Bpeuking half a dozen lan
guages with equal facility.
On the afternoon of the young fel
low's arrival Penroyd also called at
twenty-nine, lie sat on the steps
with Mrs. Wilkes ami the visitor. Ned
himself was sprawling in a hammock
swung between the little apple tree and
a part of the garden fence. In the
midst of talk and sketching the door
of twenty-six opened. Miss Chandler
stopped out to gather up u basket of
needlework standing in the doorway.
The young cousin was making
sketch ill that direction. He caught o
glimpse of her and sprang up, shading
his eyes with one hand.
■'Mon JDieu!" he said.
A moment more and the girl had re
covered her basket and reentered the
house. The young cousin sat down.
"Miss Chandler is living here, then""
he observed.
" Yes. Do you know her?" asked Mrs.
\\ ilkes, quickly. She looked at Penroyd.
lie was gently stroking the kitten's
head with his thumb. One could not
have said that he listened.
"Yes, I know her a little. I know a
good deal about her—more than most
people. You know she lived in the
Hue fiucino when I was there. Poor
girl, I don't know whether it's the same
thing now, but she had a ridiculous
mystery hanging over her head—avoid
ed meeting the fellow* and all that kind
of thing—"
"It is just the same at present," ob
served Penroyd, calmly.
"Well, another fellow and myself fer
reted out that little mystery. I am
ashamed of the thing now. It seems
such an unmanly business. But we kept
it to ourselves."
"What was the mystery ?" asked Pen
royd.
"Iler father was in the penitentiary,
lie died there."
Penroyd looked down and continued
his engagement with the kitten. He
gently refused Mrs. Ned's invitation to
supper.
Mrs. Wilkes' journal for that day con
tained:
"Went to the opera with Ned and Cousin
Dick. 'Lohengrin.' Tt was sublime, but
I didn't enjoy It. T thought every moment
of poor Mr. Penroyd. I wonder what ho
thinks of the discovery—of his Chinese
wall, as he calls rt, and how he proposed to
scale It. She will never marry him if
what Cousin D said Is true."
The following morning came Pen
royd himself. He found Ned and his
wife in the utelier. The young cousin
had gone down toCharenton for a day's
sketching.
"Now, don't interrupt your work,"
said the visitor. Ned had laid down
his palettte and brushes. "I just
dropped in for a moment. You have
been so good to me, both of you, that
I know you will be anxious to hear the
end of it all. Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes, it
is finished, and happily. I have cleared
the wall of China."
"How?" cried Ned and his wife, in
one breath.
"It was ail that fortunate chance of
your cousin. My success has come
tlirought you, Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes.
But for your cousin's instrumentality
I should be the inmate of some padded
cell. After that discovery, however,
things were easy—as easy as breathinp
the breath of life. At'seven o'clock
last evening I went to call on Miss
Chandler.
"'Edith,' I said, 'I leave to-morron
for Australia or some other desert
place, for any laud is a desert away
from you. I shall haunt you and dog
your footsteps no longer. But before
I go let me confess. My dearest one,
I know your secret. It was that which
made me presumptuous enough to look
into your face. I thought: 'She has
suffered through her father's trouble
She will be more merciful of mine-'
I had no right to love you, no right, to
breathe a word of love into your ears.
Even now it is a crime. I was tempt
ed beyond my strength. But now we
are about to part forever, and I will
make my confession. lam not an hon
est man, Edith. I served five years of
penitentiary myself. My own dearest.
I beg you to forgive me.'
" 'Dearest,' she said, 'if that is true
there is no need for us to part. Why
haven't we been honest together be
fore and saved ourselves this misery?' "
Penroyd finished. lie was sitting on i
a couch by the window. He spread out j
his long, white hands, and mechanically i
raised each finger in succession. Mrs.
Wilkes wiped away a couple of tears I
which were rolling down her cheeks.
"Penroyd, that yarn of yours was a
complete lie, wasn't it?" said Ned.
"Yes, it was a complete lie," assented
Penroyd, smiling.
"How in heaven's name did you in
vent it?"
"Oh, I don't know," was the answer.

marry Miss Chandler." Peterson's

the different compartments. The dec
oration is very simple for anj'thing so
effective, and consists of painting in
the design with Chinese white, shading
the centers of petals with green, and
outlining with Japanese gold cord,
couched down with yellow silk. It will
be best to cut a pattern for the different
parts of stiff brown paper, bend them
to the required shape and adjust to po
sition on the back. Now take your Bris
tol board—mark with pencil and rule
where the sides of compartments should
come, und wit ha sharp knife cut partly
through the board. They will now bend
without breaking into the required box
form. Cover with the decorated linen
and line with the plain; sewing the
edges together, over und over, with
gray silk.
The two little boxes on top of envel
ope case have a rubber bund passing
from front edge of lid through the back,
which keeps them closed. A rtarrow
strip is fitted between them in circulai
form to hold a small patent ink stand.
At the upper right-hand corner a spiral
pen rack is attached and the different
parts are joined firmly together with
gray button-hole twist and finished
with a twisted gold cord. If my readers
desire to make this and are in doubt
on any points, I shall be very glad to
answer any questions they may direct

Can* of Hard-Wood Floors.
A housekeeper who is noted for lie.
neatness says that u wood floor in the
house is as much care as a baby. This
Is no doubt true, and yet a little atten
tion systematically given the floor each
day is productive of marvelous good re
mits. A flannel bag made to slip over
the bristles of a broom makes an excel
lent and convenient polisher. The wood
floor should l>e swepteach morning with
this flannel-covered broom, and twice
a week it should be carefully oiled. If
the floor is hard wood use linseed oil.
while if it is stained or painted the in
expensive crude oil will answer just as
well. It should be rubbed upon the floor
with cheese cloth rather than flannel
1o avoid the lint scattered over the floor.
To deep-stained or varnished floor
light-wipe frequently with a solution
of milk and water.
Feather** at* Popular Trimming*.
Feathers are everywhere. Combined
with imitation jewels and jet they make
most elaborate trimmings. Vandyke
points made of black ostrich plumes
are strikingly effective on light col
ored evening gowns. Small curly tips
are used for outlining decollete bodices.
In the stores narrow feather trimming
•s sold by the yard for expensive cloth
costumes, it is nppliquod to the bodice
to simulate a vest or to outline seams.
Spangles are frequently combined with
n feather fringe. Trimmings formed
of feather pend ants area not her novelty.
The pendants swing from a jeweled
band, und outline a corsage beautifully.
The newest satins for evening gowns
have raised velvet flowers for the de
signs and are wonderfully soft und
beautiful.
A Word About Birthday**.
A lonely woman, one who was hear
ing patiently a great sorrow, surprised i
a friend one day by saying: "Come with I
me next Tuesday, it is my birthday,
and I want you to help me celebrate it."
"Why should she care to celebrate her |
birthday?" thought the friend. But
the next week she learned, for the sor- j
rowful one went loaded with gifts to an '
institution in which she took a keen '
interest. "1 want some one to be glad
that I was born," said she, and that is
the noblest, best and happiest thought
that can come to us on our birthdays.
It is pleasant to be remembered and to
receive presents, but whether surround
ed with love or suffering from neglect,
which is more often thoughtlessness
than intention, we can make some one
happier because we were born.
Use of the Lemon In Manicuring;.
Sliced lemon is almost as indispensa
ble uu adjunct of the toilet as the tea
table. It will, if used with reason, keep J
the skin white. If rubbed across the :
fingernails it is almost as effective as !
manicure scissors in keeping down
bung nails.
