THE GRAND BABYLON HOTEL.

(Continued from Page One.)

“Leave me alone with this boy a little—there's a dear parent*' she whispered in his ear. ™-“I am a cipher, an obedient nobody,” Racksole replied, pinchiqg her arm surreptitiously. “Treat me as such. Use me as you like. I will go and look after my hotel.” • And soon afterward he disappeared. Nella and Mr. Dimmock sat together on the terrace, sipping iced drinks. Entreating a thousand pardons, Reginald Dimmock, after he had glanced at the note, excused himself on the plea of urgent business for his serene master, uncle of the Grand Duke of Posen. He asked if he, might fetch Mr. Racksole or escort Miss Racksole to her father. But Miss Racksole said gaily that she felt no need of an escort and should go to bed. She added that her father and herself always endeavored to be independent of each other. Just then Theodore Racksole had found his way once more into Mr. Babylon’s private room. Before arriving there, however, he had discovered that in some mysterious manner the news of the change of proprietorship had worked its way down to the lowest strata of the hotel’s cosmos. The corridors hummed with it, and even underservants were to be seep discussing the thing just as though it mattered to them. “Have a cigar, Mr. Racksole,” said the urbane Mr. Babylon, “and a mouthful of the oldest cognac in all Europe.” In a few minutes theste two were talking rapidly, eagerly. Felix Babylon was astonished at Racksole’s capacity for absorbing the details of hotel management, and as for Racksole, he soon realized that Felix Babylon must be a prince of hotel managers. It had never occurred to Racksole before that to manage a hotel, even a large hotel, could be a specially interesting affair, or that it could make any excessive demand upon the brains of the manager ; but he came to see that he had underrated the possibilities of a hotel. The business of the Grand Babylon was enormous. It took Racksole, with all his genius for organization, exactly half an hour to master the details of the hotel laundry work. And the laundry work was but one branch of activity amid scores, and not a very large one at that. Finally Felix Babylon, in a moment of absent-mindedness, yawned. Racksole looked at the gilt clock on the high mantelpiece. "Great Scott!” he exclaimed. “It’s 3 o’clock. Mr. Babylon, accept my apologies for having kept you up to such an absurd hour.” ‘ ;7

“I have not spent so pleasant an evening for many years. You have let me ride my hobby to my heart’s content. It is I who should apologize.” Racksole rose. “I should like'to ask you one question,” said Babylon. “Have you ever had anything to do with hotels before?” “Never,” said Racksole. “Then you have missed your vocation. You could have been the greatest of all hotel managers. You would have been even greater than myself, and I am unequaled, though I keep only one hotel, and some men have half a dozen. Mr. Racksole, why have you pever run a hotel?” “Heaven knows!” he laughed. “But you flatter me, Mr. Babylon.” “I? Flatter You do not know me. I flatter no one, except perhaps now and then an exceptionally distinguished 'guest. In which case I give suitable instructions as to the bill.” “Speaking of distinguished guests, I am told that a couple of German princes are coming here tomorrow.” “That is so.” “Does one do anything? Does one receive them formally—stand bowing in the entrance hall or anything of that sort?”

“Not necessarily. Not unless one wishes. The modern hotel proprietor is not like an innkeeper of the Middle Ages, and even princes do not expect to see him unless something should happen to go wrong. “As a matter of fact, though, the Grand Duke of Posen and Prince Aribert have both honored me by staying here before, I have never even set my eyes on them. You will find air arrangements have been made." They talked a little while longer, and then Racksole said goodnight. “Let me see you to your room. The lifts will be closed and the plac# will be deserted. As for myself, I sleep here," and Mr. Babylon pointed to an inner door. “No, thanks,” said Racksole. “Let me explore my own hotel -unaccompanied. I believe I can discover my room.” When he got fairly into the passages Racksole was not so sure that he could discover his own rdom. The number was 107, but he had forgotten whether it was the first or second floor. Traveling in a lift, one is unconscious of floors. 4 The hotel W—mad vast, rm nanny, do-

serted. An electric light glowed here and there at long intervals.'; On the thick carpets Racksole’s thinly shod feet made no sound, and he wandered at ease to and fro, rather amused, rather struck by the peculiar sense of might and mystery which had suddenly come over him. He fancied he could hear a thousand snores peacefully descending from the upper realms. * At length he found a staircase, a vdry dark and narrow one, and presently he was on the first floor. He soon discovered that the numbers of the rooms on his floor did not get beyond 70. He encountered another staircase and ascended to the second floor. decorations on the walls he recoffczed this floor as his proper home, and as he strolled through the long corridor, he whistled a low, meditative whistle of satisfaction. He thought he heard a step on the transverse corridor, and instinctively he obliterated himself in a recess which held a service cabinet and a chair. He did hear a step. Peeping cautiously out he perceived, what he had not perceived previously, that a piece of white ribbon had been tied around the handle of the door of one of the bedrooms. i Then a man came around the corner of the transverse corridor, and Racksole drew back. It was Jules —Jules with his hands in his pockets and a slouch hat over his eyes, but in other respects attired as usual. Racksole, at this moment, remembered with a special vividness what Felix Babylon had said to him at

their first interview. He wished he had brought his revolver. He didn’t know why he should feel the desirability of a revolver in a London hotel- of the most unimpeachable fair fame, but he did feel the desirability of such an instrument of attack and defense. After a brief interval the night prowling Jules reappeared, closed the door as softly as he had opened it, removed the ribbon, returned upon his steps and vanished down the transverse corridor. “This is quaint,” said' Racksole, “quaint to a degree!” It occurred to him to look at the number of the room, and he stole toward it. The number of 111, his daughter’s room! He tried to open it, but the door was locked. Rushing to his own room, No. 107, he seized one of a pair of revolvers (the kind that are made for millionaires) and followed after Jules down the transverse corridor. At the end of this corridor was a wihdow; the window being open, and Jules was innocently gazing out of the window. Ten silent strides, and Theodore Racksole was upon him. “One word, my friend,” the millionaire began, carelessly waving the revolver in the air. Jules was indubitably startled, but by an admirable exerqise of self-con-trol ha recovered possession of his faculties in a second. “Sir?” said Jules. “I just want to be informed what you were doing in No. 11l a moment ago.” “I had been requested to go there,” was the calm response, “You are a liar, and not a Very clever one. That is my daughter’s room. Now—out with it, before I decide whether to shoot you or throw you into the street.” . "Excuse me, sir, No. 11l is occupied by a gentleman.” “I advise you that it is a serious error of judgment to contradict me, my friend. Don’t do it again. We will go to the room together, and you shall prove to me that the occupant is a gentleman and not my daughter.” “Impossible, sir,” said JuleS. “Scarcely that," said Racksole, and he took Jules by the sleeve. The millionaire knew for a certainty that Nella occupied No. 111, for he had examined the room with her and himself seen that her trunks and her maid and herself arrived there In safety. “Now open the door,” whispered Racksole whin they reached No. 111. “I must knock.” “That is just what you mustn’t do. Open it No doubt you have your pass key.” (To be continued J

To Disinfect a Carpet.

If any article of the household furniture requires disinfecting' occasionally it Is a carpet, especially if it has been used a considerable time. The following is a method reepmmended both as a disinfectant and a preventive of moths. Add three tablespoonfuls of turpentine to three quarts of water, saturate a large sponge with this mixture, squeeze it almost two thirds dry and go over the carpet carefully. As soon as the sponge becomes dirty, cleanse it and immerse in the turpentine and water again You will be surprised to see how bright and new it will make the carpet.

CRAB BISQUE —Select four large heavy hard shell crabs; drop them into boiling water and boll for half an hour, drain and cool. Open them remove the meat and chop it very fine. Pound the shells, boil them foi half an hour in three pints of good white stock and strain through a cloth. Return the stock to the fire, add the qrab meat and one scant cupful of well washed rice. Cook slowly fpr three quarters of an hour and rub through a sieve. Reheat, season to taste, add one cupful of cream. Simmer for five minutes longer and serve. CORN PUDDING. —Corn Pudding will require sufficient scraped or grated corn to measure one quart, one cupful or more of milk (according, to the age and milkiness of the corn), and a high seasoning of salt and pepper. To this add three well beaten eggs, three tablespoonfuls oi sifted flour, three tablespoonfuls of butter, melted, and bne teaspoonful of sugar. Pour the batter into a pudding dish and bake for one hour and a half Til a slow oven. NUT LOAF —Two cupfuls of stale bread crumbs, one cupful and a half of chopped or ground nuts, one scant teaspoonful of salt. Mix thoroughly teasponful of salt. Mix thoroughly and add sufficient hot water to moisten; cover and let stand for ten minutes, add one cupful more of hot water and turn into a buttered tin.
