The Kind You Have Always Bought
MANON '
An Incident of the Frercli
Revolution.
(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.

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.
