OFF WINDMILL IS], A NT).

The lustrous light of a Juiie moon shone over Philadelphia one night in the year 1779. The summer air was full of the odor of roses and tho streets were embowered in verdure, but sounds of martial music floating down from Chestnut street brought home to every heart the chilling remembrance that war was raging in the country and that the issue was as yet in the balance. Far away from the din, out in the open fields west of the Pino Street Presbyterian church, was a settlement in which but little heed was being paid to the uproar. The colony existing in the tiny cabins huddled together had nothing in common with the Continental armies except a deep, unrelenting hatred of the English.

This evening the strangers gathered in little knots and conversed in quiet, unfamiliar accents, the men smoking their •long pipos. and the women knitting in a alow, measured fashion. In a French patois they told the children stories of their ever to be remembered land far in the north, the villages and farms, and tho cruelty of the British in wresting from them their beloved Aoadia, turning them adrift in a strange country separated from their lrindred and every home tie. After all the yean which had elapsed since their coming to the City of Penn, the Acadians were simply sojourners, not citizens. Few of them had any acquaintance with the inhabitants of the city, and but a small number could speak the English language. Tiie industrious Quakers did not take kindly to the indolent habits of the refugees, hence it is not to be wondered at that the Acadians had no intercourse with their neighbors, and strenuously sought to deter their children from making connections outside of their own people.

The young are apt to be perverse, however, and the French blood in their veins was too volatile to be easily controlled. In one of the cabins had a maiden gone to and fro through the long hours of the day now drawing to a close busied with the house work, but with heart beating high, for she had heard that the troops were expected to arrive in the city during the day, and thoughts of her brave Willie, with his blue and buff uniform and three cornered hat, had driven all other subjects from her mind. Little her parents guessed of her secret, and, although they noticed her preoccupied manner, they did not attribute it to the proper cause.

Now that dusk had come she

a

impar

tiently awaited the time when they should take their usual stroll to neighbor Minot's doorstep for the accustomed chat. When at length the old folks were safely away, she tied alight shawl over her head and sped along the path to Pine street, then down that thoroughfare to Third street, carefully avoiding the open door of St. Peter's, through which streamed a flood of light. In Third street she reduced her pace, and slowly walking under the trees she finally reached St. Joseph's church, looming up in the fast gathering darkness beside the humble dwellings of the Quaker poor. She knew she had started too early to meet her lover, so she entered the sacred edifice, and after spending a few minutes in prayer, or rather in silence, for her feelings were too tumultuous to be calmed, again sought the open air.

Third street was deserted, but a square below the pavements were crowded. News had come of a battle, and the pulse of the people was at fever heat. Louise cared not for the news of the war so long as her lover was safe, and now she waited anxiously at the try

Sting

place. One or two persons hurried past, too eager to hear the latest tidings to notice her. A soldier released from his duties came down the street anxious to get home again. She drew back in the shadow. Soon she heard the step of a vigorous man, and peering through the twilight saw the glitter of another uniform. The man came closer, and she perceived he was young and stalwart, with a bold, masculine face, which, though in a measure attractive, had stamped upon it traces of sensualism and rough living, such as is noticeable in the countenances of soldiers who have been on along campaign.

All this the girl noticed by the dim light of the lamp fixed on the watchbox near by. The stranger was evidently in Bearch of some one, as he constantly peered around him as he moved fcoward, but as he saw Louise all doubt vanished. Walking directly up to the maiden, he bade her good evening, calling her by her first name. The girl's countenance expressed at once annoyance and surprise. Tho cause of the first is easily imagined, but the manifestation of surprise was only explained.when she ejaculated in French: "You here, Jacques? We thought you had decided to stay in Opelousas. And why in this uniform?"

The soldier replied -frith alight laugh: "It is hard to get rid of a bad penny, you know. I found the surroundings of our friends in the south not suited to my taste, and, having a chance to enter the army, did so. But I came on an errand to-night, and that is to carry a message from your lover."

Although a smile accompanied hiB words, the expression of Jacques' eyes was far from pleasant, but this Louise did not notice. She grasped his arm in terror. "A message from Willie! What do yon BBMH? IS ho wounded?"

vv FOR.OSV 1LLE

"No, ,), girl," tD'i man replied almost roughly, "out the fa is he was instructed to remain with Ills company. He does not wish to miss the chance of seeing your pretty faco. however, and so he asked ma to meet and accompany you to a place near his post, where he can steal out for a few minutes and groet you. His command is stationed at the old barracks on Front street, and, if yoti ore willing to go along, I will take you up and back in a boat lying below the dock, which I engaged on my way."

The maiden was greatly perturbed. Without any sense of fear she would have readily gone alone to the encampment, but the reputation of Jacques was not of the best and she hesitated to trust him. It was now past the hour when her lover should have come, and as Jacques told a plausible enough story she decide^, finally, to accompany him. The two proceeded to the river, where in answer to a low whistle given by Jacques a like signal was returned, and guided by the sound they reached the side of a boat lying in the shadow of a pile of cord wood. There were two men in the boat, "which struck Louise as rather odd, it being rarely the wherries were manned by more than one person. She took a seat, and Jacques, loosening the painter, sprang into the stern. The rowers bent to their task with a will, and the craft shot out into the bright moonlight.

Instead of turning north, however, Jacques kept the prow headed directly for Windmill Island. Louise noticed this and asked him why the boat was not pointed up th'e river. He uttered an unintelligible reply about the current, which did not reassure the maiden, and she, though inwardly frightened, insisted in firm tones that the wherry be directed north. Her companion, thinking all occasion for secrecy past, sneeringly replied that he would run the boat to suit himself. Now thoroughly alarmed and seeing the trap into which she had fallen, Louise sprang to her feet and screamed for aid. I11 those days the river was much used as a highway, and usually the evening air was enlivened by the dip of countless oars and the hum of animated conversation. To-night, however, the water was deserted, every one being in the center of the town seeking the latest tidings. No answer came to her cry for help, and before she could again find voice Jacques pulled her down beside him, and, covering her mouth with his disengaged hand, bid the rowers make all speed to the island, whose shadows would effectually hide them.

With a frantic effort Louise wrested herself loose and 6cream after scream rang over the water, to be answered this time by a welcome cry from up the river. The conspirators turned their heads in alarm. A hundred yards distant was a light boat with two occupants bearing toward them, and propelled with such force as to very materially lessen the distance between them before tho abductors could realize the situation. "Row, men, rowP yelled Jacques. "It will be ball and chain for life if we are caught." "Stop!" came from the pursuers. "Stop or I fire!"

Jacques muttered an oath, and, seizing a musket lying at his feet, took aim and fired at the

Gpeaker.

WEE KEY

No return fire

came from the party in the second boat, and they had resolved apparently to delay action until they overtook the wherry. Making an almost superhuman effort, they shpt the light skiff alongside the heavier boat, when the island was not more than ten yards distant. Snatching a pistol from his belt Jacques leveled it at the nearest occupant of the other boat, but as his finger trembled on the trigger an oar quickly sweeping through the air fell upon his arm and the weapon was tossed into the water, while his right hand fell useless by his side.

The boats by this time had drifted almost to the shores of the island, and the cowardly boatmen, seeing their leader disabled, and with the horrors of Walnut Street prison in their minds, abandoned their oars and sprang ashore, followed by the pistol shots of the second occupant of the skiff, as well as by the curses of the maimed Jacques, who saw his scheme fail when at the point of success.

Louise was lying in the bottom of the wherry senseless, and, seeing further resistance useless, Jacques threw himself into the tide at the same instant the officer, for so his uniform showed him to be, stepped into the boat. The rower of the skiff made strenuous efforts to reach the drowning man, but failed, and the dark waters of the Delaware closcd over the abductor, who was unable to swim to the land with his uninjured arm. Meanwhile the officer raised the maiden in his arms, and at the first glance ejaculated: "Heavens, it is Louise!" The rescuer was no other than William Clark, her lover, whose command had indeed been located in the Liberties as stated by Jacques, and he was on his way to meet his sweetheart when the scream of Louise rang over the water.

Jacques' story of Clark having been detailed for special duty was entirely false. Through a letter which had fallen into his hands he had learned of the meeting arranged between Clark and Louise, and having known tho Acadian girl for years, he resolved upon the daring plan of abducting and carrying her to New York, of course deserting to the British. Not until Louise revived and told her part of the story could Will understand her presence in the boat, or until then did he know who was the abductor.

Louise reached homo before her parents had returned from the Minots', and in the disturbed condition of the city the fight on the river and the sudden disappearance of Jacoues created no comment.

Years after, when Louise had become the wife of Clark, she told the tale for the first time to her daughter, and it was one of her grandchildren who related the incident to the writer.—Philadelphia Times.

[Copyright by American Press Association.]

The Richardsons are wealthy and hospitable. They give elegant dinners and receptions, but their every day table is, to say the least, queer. I know, for I was their invited guest one week. Our dessert was invariably cut up oranges and sugar. I have never wanted cut np oranges and sugar since. But the breakfasts have left a lasting impression on my mind, especially has that of Sunday. First we had a saucer of half cooked oatmeal, and very thin milk. Even the desire to be polite could not induce me to eat mine. Then there were chops and slices of brown bread. The count was accurate. Chops averaged one apiece, and none over slices of bread one apiece and one over. Presently Frank reached for the one over slice of bread. "Frank," said his mother reprovingly, "leave one piece for Hannah." "Why," said Frank, "can't I have all the bread I want?"

But he couldn't, and, like mysulf, went hungry to church. This is fact, not fiction.'

Doubtless breakfast is the meal that suffers most from indifferent housekeeping, and many wives sigh for the continental rolls and coffee in place of the substantial meal that custom and climate demand of Americans.

Mrs. Plummer, a charming young married woman, told me, with tears in her eyes, that Tom had spoken his first cross word to her—dear Tom, who vowed to love and cherish—and the honeymoon was dimmed and life was dreary. Tom had Baid that the breakfasts were only fit for a boarding house, and he might as well not be married. Now, Tom was heartless, but his wife did a brave and good thing. She determined to make a study of breakfasts and rise above the level of a boarding house keeper. So we talked it over and together made a few purchases.

The next morning when Tom came down to breakfast the table presented an inviting appearance. It was covered with a pretty red cloth. At each place were a fruit plate, covered with a red napkin, and finger bowl. On one side of the pWte lay a saucer and spoon on the other the white napkin, knife, fork, salt bottle and butter plate. In the center of the table was a basket of Newtown pippins, grape fruit and bananas. Tom looked pleased. He was soon in the middle of a crisp, mellow apple, giving small pieces delicately pared to his wife. "How do you eat these things?" said Tom, holding up a grape fruit as big as a bahy's head. "Cut through the middle, across the sections, and give me one half."

Tom did so. "Now look," and Mrs. Plummer dexterously removed the pulp with a spoon into the saucer. "You must not get a seed or any of the white part of the rind into your mouth. They are very bitter," continued Mrs. Plummer. "We will have raw apples and grape fruit or oranges every morning, Tom."

The grape fruit is a compromise between a lemon and orange and deserves to be a universal favorite.

Tom liked it. After cleansing their fingers and wiping them on the red napkins, the fruit dish, apple parings and all, were removed.

Tom took up his morning paper to hide the frown of disgust which the thought of half sodden oatmeal had invoked. Tho girl entered with a dish of "rolled wheat," and a red glass pitcher of eream. "Only the tops of two bottles," exclaimed Mrs. Plummer. "The rest of the milk is just as good for calking." This is the way Mrs. Plummer prepared her wheat. A baked bean poc, as it was called, had been purchased on the previous day. At 3 in the afternoon she put two cups of wheat mixed with one teaspoon of salt, and a quart and a pint of boiling water into this pot. Without covering or stirring it was placed in a hot oven and baked several hours. It was then taken out and allowed to cool. In the morning after the fire was made it was put back into the oven till wanted for breakfast. Then, steaming hot, it was lifted in solid lumps of sweet, tender kernels crowned with two inches of starch or jelly into the dish for the table. "This is tho nicest stuff I ever ate," 6aid Tom as ho passed, his saucer for the third time. "Really, Milly, I don't want much else to eat," added he. "Don't ever feed ine uponroatmeal again it's a plebeian dish beside this." "And so cheap, too," murmured Milly "only two and a half cents for all this."

The last course of this breakfast was a Bmall rolled omelet, cooked for one minute on the.griddle in the fat of bacon. Foiir eggs well whipped, a little salt and one-third qt a cup of milk composed thia dish, which would have been far less savory cooked in the usual way as one large, fat omelet.

Tom ate his with a crisp slice of bacon and bit of bread and butter, drank his coffee, then going straight to Milly, took har in his arms, kissed her, and said: "I'm sorry I was cross to you yesterday. You area first rate housekeeper, and the dearest little," etc.

I know the next time I saw Mrs. Plummer that love had returned. A favorite dish of the Plummers is fish hash. It is prepared by soaking the fish over night, boiling it in the morning with twice as much raw potatoes for half an hour. The water is then drained off butter, a tiny pinch of summer savory and a few drops Worcestershire sauce are added. It is then packed into a frying pan with beef drippings and browned slowly on the range.

Mrs. Plummer bought a dozen earthen shells and baked her eggs for breakfast. This ip. her rule.'
