(I - - . n. ■ i . , On the outskirts of the little vil lage in which we lived stood an old house, tenanted by such an old, old man. The house was old, but its tenant much older. No one in the place could remember him even as middle aged, lie hud been old Niles to ev erybody for years. My brother and I, the youngest of a very large family, were thrown very much on our own resources, and we admired and cultivated Niles, for he had won our childish hearts one Christmas by telling us a grewsome story at supper, where he occupied the post of honor at the table—a story so dreadful that we were afraid to go to bed alone for the next three nights. In that gentle and friendly com munity Niles, by moans of iiis old age and infirmities, was a privileged character. People living in the great houses around .used to send him tidbits from their own tables. Truth com pels me to relate that Niles did not always receive these offerings with gratitude. If the dish was not to his taste, he would reject it with contumely, and the mistress of the house advised by him to get a new cook. But Steena, our cook, bo loved of us children, had found fa vor in Niles' eyes. Her offerings were never rejected by him; espe cially an eel soup and an eel pie of hers were welcome to bis taste. How well I remember the day on which he told us the following tale, the last, as it happened, we were ever to hear from Niles' lips. A day in dune, I remember it was, full of sunshine and perfume and the song of birds. Niles sat out before his door on a bench, so old and shrunken, shivering in the hot sun and muttering, "The sun does not warm one as it used to do, but 1 am an old, old man." He accepted, however, Steena's offering of a basin of soup, and when he had swallowed it, to our great delight, offered of his own ac cord to tell us a story. "Not," he added, "one of those foolish tales of ghosts or fairies you children are so fond of, but a true tale, one I lived through myself. "It was long, long ago. You have heard and read, have you not, of the French revolution, when blood flow ed like water in the streets of Paris and Frenchmen chopped off the heads of both king and queen ? At that time I was a boy in the service of a young Danish nobleman. "How tired we grew of it all—the guillotine, theshriekingPariscrowda, who sung and danced and jeered around'while the tumbrels full of their victims were being dragged away to their death. But we were in Paris and could not get out, you know. We were there no longer known as master and servant; citi zen was the name dinged in our ears. "My master —I call him master now—was an aristocrat of a high and noble family in our own north ern land; but we kept that to our selves. I could speak not n word of French. My master could speak it like a Frenchman, of course. "Opposite our lodgings was a wineshop, kept by one of the red capped Frenchmen. He offered one day to sell me some very fine French wine, 'Wine fit for the king him self,' lie added, with a wink, which told me that the king, dead now and his bones moldering in a ditch, had once upon a time had this wine in his own royal cellar. "I went to the wineshop directly after to buy some of this wine, as my master was in sore need of some thing to cheer his heart. My tongue, however, could never twist and turn itself to niter a word of French, and when Manon, the shop keeper's daughter, heard me she fell into shrieks of laughter. 1 thought the ceiling would come down then and (here on our heads. The saucy, minx! I marched out, red in the face and with my head up. 1 vow ed I would never put myself in the way of being laughed at by her, a girl who could not speak a word of my tongue. "When the wine was drunk, T re fused to go again to fetch it. He could go himself, I told my master. He was in no great hurry to go, but did so at last. There was no laugh ing at his French, if yon please, and my master got into the way of go ing there every day or two to pass the time with Manon. They sat in a room back of the shop. Manon with her needlework and mv master wjth his books. In Ihe midst of Iho alarms they spent a pleasant time enough, for they were young and in love with each other. "So clay after day passed until at last Manou broke in on me to tell mo my roaster was in prison, de nounced by n cousin of her own, who was jealous of him, and in great danger of having his head cut otr. " 'But we are Danes, both of is. What can the French government do with us?' She shrugged her shoulders. 'Who knows ? But let us try what we can do with the Eng lish and Danish consuls.' In all Paris not a Danish consul could we find, and the Englishman was not sanguine. 'Paris might as well be a kingdom in Ashnnti,' he told us sadly. 'There are a lot of savages gone mad. Do you know Sanson has complained of being overwork ed ? In fact, bloodshed and cruelty are rampant.' "However, he promised to do what he could for us, which was nothing, as it turned out. "When Manon found that there was no help, as we walked away weeping from the grim prison, to 'my astonishment she began to beg me to lend her my black confirma tion suit, made by my mother a few months before and never yet worn by me. Lend her my confirmation suit ? Not 1! What could she want with a boy's suit, she, a girl? I scoffed at her, but she flung her arms round my neck, and with her pretty brown eyes full of tears she entreated me to let her have it. She only wanted it a day; I should have it back then. What could a boy like me do with Manon's eyes full of tears and Manon's arms around his nock ? I yielded very reluctant ly, but I did yield. She eagerly seized upon the bundle and ran off with it. "I could not help but uotire how pale her fare was, how dark her eyes were as she vanished out of my sight. "That very night my master came back, lie seemed very anxious about Munon and sent mo to her father's to inquire about her. There, how ever, no one knew anything about her. Her father was very angry with her for neglecting the shop and promised her a beating when she diil return. There was no news, however, the next day and the next. "On the morning of the third day we, my master and I, heard the rumbling of the tumbrel behind us, and there, standing erect, dressed in my confirmation suit, was Ma non. llow young and innoceht she looked! Only a city peopled by hu man wolves and hyenas could havo struck the little curly brown head from the long, white, slender throat. Iter eves, full of love, were resting on my master, for whom she was to die, and she made him a little ges ture of farewell, 11 quick little ges ture, so slight as to he unobserved almost. But he saw it and would have fallen senseless had I not held him up by main force and turned off quickly into the street leading to our lodgings. Before we got to our destination the tumbrels were coming back empty, and she had given her life for him, the aristo crat—she who was no aristocrat; only a poor, plain, common body like myself." This was the last tale we ever heard from Xiles. The next morn ing he was found dead in his bed, His face, wonderfully rejuvenat ed by death, lay on the pillow, his hands gently clasped as though in prayer. All the place was present to do honor to his obsequies, we children wearing a hand of crape 011 our left arms, tied thero by Steena. After the funeral it was found that Niles had left all he owned to Steena—the old house, the waste garden and a goodly sum of money. And Steena, good, ugly Steena, was an heiress in a small way. She who was wearied of single blessed ness and had commissioned the blacksmith ' and the shoemaker to get her a husband in vain while she was poor and ugly had lovers ga lore. Her choice fell on a handsome young Englishman, a dozen yours her junior. In spite of the advice of her disinterested friends and rel atives, she married him presently. The only notice she deigned to take of it was that she was married in the English church and by the Eng lish clergyman, and when, in the course of a year, Steena became the mother of twins, two blond haired, blue eyed miniatures of their fa ther, what mother so happy and so proud as Steena, our Steena? By that time, too, there was a neat gravestone to Nilos' memory on his grave, and the house, newly painted, and the garden, blooming like the rose, gave evidence that the old man's money had been put to excellent use by the thrifty Steena. —Penny Pictorial Magazine. Where Woman Is Lord. In a tiny island called Minikoi, off the southern coast of India, a most peculiar state of society ex ists, for woman is lord of all she surveys. The wife is the recognized head of the house. She owns it and everything in it, while nnything that her husband, who works very hard, can earn goes to increase her wealth. Her husband belongs to her, too, and when she marries him she gives f.im bur name insteud of taking his. ALL OVER THE HOUSE. All Good Cook 3 Arc Versed In the Art of Seaeoning. Many columns might bo written on the "Art of Seasoning." In no one essential is judgment more to be depended upon fhan in this. Cookbooks tell you to take "a salt spoon of salt," so much of pepper, etc. Now, there is salt and salt; 'here is the pepper bought ground, only half the pungency ol' that you grind yourself; there arc the spices ditto, and one cannot use the same quantity of the one as of the other. As the celebrated painter who, when asked with what medi um ho blended his colors, making them so perfect, replied, "Brains," so the mistress must herself, ai d must instruct her cook to, use good judgment and "brains" in season ing. Food that has to be seasoned at the table, unless for some abnor mal appetite, is but meat and vege tables served with seasonings, not meat and vegetables thoroughly per meated as they should be with sea soning matter. Upon the knowl edge of this law of good cooking de pends the excellence of your dishes. Effective Tabic Covers. Particularly effective for table covers is the new improved Java or Aida canvas, which comes in verv harmonious colorings and graceful designs. The material being revers ible, a variety in the color may be introduced by using alternately the front and back. In one example the pure white ground is strewn with iarge lilies or dahlias and foliage woven with spring green, while streaks of this tender color form a kind of fretting all over the hack ground, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The green parts representing the pattern are filled with cross stitch or, newer still, solid embroidery in lovely natural tints, mostly wrought in lustrine or any other glossy thread as a substitute for silk. How ever, a mere outlining will he found sufficient by many, while others still frequently use the material as it comes from the manufacturer. Huge flowers are more striking when well shaded and relieved with Japanese gold. Ivory work could ho utilized to cover the damask hand of other table covers in khaki shades. To Designate Towels. A clever woman, according to Good Housekeeping, has hit upon the idea of embroidering with a dark blue or red thread the out lines of various utensils, such as tumblers, a cup and saucer, a fry ing pan or a saucepan, for the pur pose of conveying by object lessons the separate use for which each towel is designed. She says: "What I could not impress upon the vari ous girls who served in my kitchen was which towel was to ho used for certain dishes. They wipe mv cut glass with a heavy crash towel and the frying pan with the towel de signed for glass. Since I have put emblems 011 each of the towels I have no further trouble." Wax Derry Decoration. For decorative use an old time fa voritb, the wax berry, is receiving marked attention just now. Florists have had it in stock for some time, decorative artists are introducing it iu designs and mineral painters are using it for ornamenting plates, trays and vases. It is also being in troduced in water color sketches. In one home in this borough crys tal bowls and silver vases are kept filled with wax berries, a constant supply being sent in from the coun try. The berries will keep fresh for some time, and even when the leaves are dry they are still effective. For winter decoration for sitting room or den wax berries are appropriate and beautiful. Fruit at Meals. Wo put ripe fruit on our tables as a "dessert," as a finish wherewith to round off a repast already suffi ciently substantial. In reality it ought to be allowed for as part of that meal. Ifipe fruit rarely if ever digests properly when eaten nfler other food. Its place in the dietary is undoubtedly in between more sol id repasts. Cooked fruit should form part of a course or possibly the entire portion of the sweet course at luncheon or dinner and, indeed, at breakfast also, if von will, for with many people cooked fruit is never better liked than at the table set for the first meal of the day. Sweet Potato Pineapple. Sweet potato pineapple is a pret ty way to servo this popular vege table. Boil, peel and mash four or five good sized sweet potatoes. Add one large tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of very light brown sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one pinch each of mace and grated nutmeg. Mold this into pine apple shape and place on a buttered tin. With the tip of a teaspoon make tiny depressions to resemble the dots in a pineapple. Into each oue put a wee bit of butter. Light ly brown in a hot oven. If you wish, you can make a small pineapple for each one at the table. r~ r t f ■ i L Large variety ol styles and prices. Some people don't like rubbers. For these wc have good honest stout shoes for street wear. The foot often looks better and feels better this way. All America & 0 5 e 2 is solid leather made on custom shoe lasts and as near weather tight as a shoe can be. Trim in appearance, too. They arc the "What's what" in shoes for fall and winter.
