Parshall’s Waitress

By Dorothy Bayard

No one ever found out just why the 1:20 train from Shadyside happened to arrive on time. Such a thing never had been heard of before, and it certainly had not happened since, but Rensselaer Parshall, taking advantage of the train’s well established reputation, arrived at the station at half after 1 and found there would be no train until 3 o’clock. “But they told me that the train never was on time,” he spluttered to the station agent “Not since the road’s been built” agreed that functionary, “but she came In on time today. Maybe”—consolingly—“the three ten ’ll be on time too.” Parshall strolled out upon the station platform. It was his first visit east in

“AND HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ME SO THAT I SEEM LIKE A STRANGER?”

three years, and he had run out to see his sister. This suburban arrangement was a new thing to him, and he wished now that he had remained to lunch. It was too late to go back. Across the street there was a bakery, with a saloon on either side. He decided that the bakery looked the most Inviting, and he strolled across. If was a clean, well kept little place, and he sat down at one of the white covered tables with a sigh of relief. He had been accustomed to roughing It on the plains, but now that he was back east he wanted all the comforts. “Bring me a steak, with rolls and coffee and fried potatoes,” he ordered when he became conscious that the waitress stood beside him. “Steak, potatoes, rolls and coffee,” repeated the waitress. Parshall jumped up so suddenly that he overturned his chair. “You here, Nan?” he cried. “Has it come io this?” “I am the waitress here, very much at Mr. Parshall’s service,” she said demurely, and sped away to give the order. Parshall gasped. He had gone wesj because he could not offer a heart with no fortune to the daughter of David Kent. Now Nan Kent was a waitress in a bakery restaurant In a suburban town. He wondered why his sister had not told him of her misfortune. Susie had known why he went away. He swung around In his seat, but Nan was not in sight, and he had to wait patiently until she reappeared with a tray on which his lunch was set out. “Don't go away,” he cried hoarsely as she set down the dishes. “I want to talk to you. When did this happen?" “I only came here yesterday,” she said evenly. “It's a very nice place.” “Why didn’t you write and tell me?” he asked, bewildered. “Mr. Parshall forgets that he left me no address When he went away.” “Don’t,” be pleaded. “You must know why I went away.” She was silent. Parshall made a pretense of cutting bis meat, but he could not eat. Presently he spoke again. “You used to call me Ren,” he reminded. “That,” sha said coldly, “was some time ago.” “And have you forgotten me so that I Seem like a stranger?” “When one goes away without eveu a farewell I can only suppose that something has occurred to mar the one time friendship.” “And you could not realize that It was because I cared so much that I dared not?” he pleaded. /’Did you suppose that I—that no one else cared ?’’ Her voice broke a little. “And you did care?” he asked softly. “It hurts me to think that you could leave In that fashion.” “But I could not ask you to go with me.” “No?” There was just n trace of contempt in her tones. “You were rich,” he explained. “They would have said that I was marrying you for your money.” “That,” she suggested, “would not have lasted long.” “Now,” he said triumphantly, "I can ask you for your hand, and, getting only that, get what Is worth more to

me than the millions your father used to possess.” "Yes?” she admitted inquiringly. “And your answer?” he pressed. “I think,” she said, “if I were asked I should say no.” Parshall’s face fell. “Nan,” he said softly, “the night before I left, your father said that he would never give his daughter to any one save a man as rich as himself. It was said conversationally, but the personal application was too pointed to be ignored.” “And you went away, not caring about me, not even giving me a chance to say good by?” she pressed. “But your father said your sentiments were the same as his own. How was I to know?” “ ‘Faint heart ne’er won fair lady,’ ” she quoted. “I know it,” he said humbly. “That was my error once. This time I shall not make the same mistake; Now I am going to carry you, by force, if necessary, to the nearest minister.” “But the store!” she cried. “Never mind the store. Let the proprietor take care of it” “But she is ill,” demurred Nan. “Won’t you wait, Ren?” “If you’ll promise to marry me when the store closes,” he promised. “You see,” she explained, “Mrs. Bedall is ill, and that’s why I have taken charge. I belong to the church guild.” “Then you’re not a regular waitress?” “I’ve been waiting for three years, dear,” she whispered softly, and Parshall understood. “After thia,” he promised, “you shall wait upon me, not for me." And he sealed the promise with a kiss.

English Truffle Dogs.

Truffle dogs are very jealous workers. If one were to make himself too officious his companion would fall on and worry him. All the truffles do not grow underground, and In such a case the first few are gathered by the dogs from the surface. Occasionally the man is able to pick one or two himself. They are not quite ready for taking, however. No animal seems to be attracted by truffles only half grown and immature. The scent comes only when they are ripe. A copse may be hunted one day till apparently every truffle has been collected, and yet If visited after a short Interval will probably yield as many as before. Until they are mature the dogs cannot find them. Every time a truffle is found the dogs stop and look at the pocket where the bread Is in a begging attitude and do not begin to hunt again till after the “repay.” Food is doled out in the tiniest morsels, and yet before the day is over, though they still mechanically ask for the reward, they cease to eat it. They are the most tireless creatures imaginable. The assiduity of one In particular is extraordinary. I have seen her work from dawn until dark, collecting in that time nearly eight pounds of truffles, and yet with as much briskness and apparent enjoyment for the last as for the first. “She has the brains of a whole litter in her,” says the owner gravely. Her mother had only one puppy at her birth, and he sincerely believes that the talents which might have been divided between five or six were concentrated in one.—Longman’s Magazine.

Jean Antoinette Poisson.

In reply to the question, “What man or woman, not monarch or acknowledged ruler, has wielded the most despotic power?” a writer says no single individual has ever equaled or even approached Jean Antoinette Poisson, the most famous among the train of Louis XV. of France, who was created Marquise de Pompadour and for twenty years swayed the whole policy of France. She filled all public offices with her own nominees and made her own creatures ministers of France. She it was who brought Belle Isle into office, with his vigorous policy, and introduced the Abbe de Bernis into office to work her own pleasure. Previous to 1756 the policy of France had been to weaken AustWa by alliance with Germany. This was arbitrarily changed because Frederick the Great lampooned her and because Maria Theresa wrote her a courteous letter entered into an alliance with Austria, ultimating, as it turned out, in the Seven Years’ war. She, moreover, corresponded with the generals in the field, prepared all business for the king’s eye and dally examined the letters sent through the post. The king was a mere puppet, who assisted at the spectacle of his own reign, and the people for the time being “bowed down and worshiped” her,

Quissing an a Fine Art.

On the occasion of Lord Melville’s trial before the house of lords Theodore Hook had a seat among the spectators. He could not resist the opportunity of mystifying his neighbors, a lady and her daughter from Sussex. When the bishops appeared in their state attire, wearing scarlet and lawn sleeves over their doctor’s robes, he confidentially observed to the lady: “These are not gentlemen. They are ladies, elderly ladies—the dowager peeresses in their own right.” When the speaker of the house of commons appeared and attracted attention by the rich embroidery of his robes, the lady inquired: "“Pray, sir, who is that fine looking person opposite?” “That, madam,” said Hook, “is Cardinal Wolsey.” “No, sir,” cried the lady, with a look of angry disdain. “We know a little better than that. Cardinal Wolsey has been dead many a good year!” “No such thing, madam, I assure you,” replied Hook, with imperturbable gravity. “It has been, I know, so reported In the country, but without the least foundation. In fact, those rascally newspapers will say anything.”—London Telegraph.
