RNEST KENDALI, an English- ': man who has lived 12 years in | E Japan, arrived in New York re- l a cently from Yokohama. With him is his wife, who is a Jap- | anese. That sort of Anglo- | Fapanege alliance Mr. Kendall thinks:; Is all right, but as for the one between | bis country and Japan he asserts | that if that agreement lis renewed | after the expiration*of the term it has | to run he will at once take out papers ’, and become an American citizen. | Thisls the first time that the pres- | ent Mrs. Kendall has been out of her | own country, and she finds it difficult [ to get used to the change. In the | first place the steamship made-one so-| teiribly seasick.® Then« the lmfg train | ride made one so awfully train sick. 1 Then the changing of the loose and | comfortable: kimono for the steel lined E paraphernalia of the American woman | wias a hardship. And when one has | Lieen used .to Japanese food all one's life the meats and sauces of the Amerfcans are a terrible thing to tackle. | But- Mrs. Kendall is trying to be | philosophical. - She is amazed at lh’o.! size of everything in New York. I | have .been the only man in my partic- ; ular line of business in the far eas?,” | kald Mr. Kendall. “All big business | ip Japan with foreign cities is done to- | day by cable, and I know of one big | hoyse whicn ‘spends $5,000 . gold a month just in eables. So 1 got the fdea of doing cable code work, and | have been eagaged in it for eight or ten years. i have come to New York | under contract to revise the codes of | several of your biggest cor;ﬁ)mtion;s. “l used to teach in Waseda university, which is the school attended by the young Japanese nobles, and which ifs known as the emperor’'s own pri-] vate school. I have lived in Tokyo, Yokahama and Kobe, and as a place of residence I prefer the latter. It s built on a hillside by the sea. Yokohama is a rambling sort -of place, and except-for the two bhuffs {s built on an old rice field on made ground. “A serious thing for the foreign colony has just happened in Yokohama. They have had for many years a recreation ground where football, baseball, cricket and tennis were played, with a fine pavilion and turf that has taken 40 years to get into its present condition.. The lease was taken on periods of' ten years, and when the last period was up in October the Jap-. anese refused to renew the lease. In‘dignation meetings were held, to no purpose, and now the most attrictive feature of the life is gone. One reason why the lease has been taken away Is that land i{s becoming so valuable. i : “Then the Japanese everywhere are suffering for the want of money, and they are doing everything they can to get it. The foreigner in business who doesn’'t know the Japanese language has to employ a banto, which word means ‘interpreter,’ but the banto is really a go-between. He gets his squeeze out of both the foreigner and the Japanese with whom the foreigner does business. It often happens that the banto gets away with a lot of money. The business question out there is very complicated. “XVhy, if you want to do any great amount of buslness, you absolutely must give a- ‘gisha spree,’ and even then your competitor who offers the banto a larger percentage may get the order. I know whereof I speak, because for three years I was connected with one of the biggest houses in Japan. - ' : : “You may take it-from me that the Japanese dislike foreigners thoroughly, and if they could do it without getting into trouble they would kick every foreigner out of -the country.. They have a sort of innate jealousy of anybody who can do something they cannot, and when they think that they can do as well as the foreigner they have employed they dis-:

—— Air Vision. May Improve. Every - one knows the wonderful vision of the sailor aloft in the crow’s nest, knows how he can see the spout of the whale or the distant sail where the landlubber can see nothing but a stretch of sea. So with soaring birds. Captain Speke could survey the whole African sky with eye and spyglass and could see no speck or sign of bird anywhere. Then he would lay a piece of red flannel on a log to look like a fresh skinned buffalo, and would retire and watch. After a few minutes specks would begin to appear, far, far away in the depths of the central sky and would soon. grow into a small African turkey buzzard. Then more and more carrion crows and finally the large African buzzard, a kind of condor, would come, to retire in disgusk. Speke thinks these birds can see miles beyond man’s sight. Perhaps the human air sailor’s vision may improve, ' giving . him greater and greater advantages over the poor lubbers below. j : : A man who is able to borrow money either has much property or sunning that might be put to & better use. _

charge him. They are replacifg the foreign captains and engineers df their merchant ships las fast as thdy can train up young Japanese to tak¢ their places. I used to hear the Japanese teachers in the university disdussing getting rid of the foreigners o 1 their staff. =t “Their successes in two warg have made the .lupanése thoroughl conceited. They believe they havg only got to make a big effort and théy can conquer the world. You do not hear them express this opinion befofé for - eigners. If you say, to draw them out: ‘You fellows will conquer the iworld some day,” you get no reply, but each looks at the other significantly.| But, of course, I have been in a position te hear what they really think dn the subject. g | “Tokyo has | changed enormously since I went theére. Then for thi. public therg was nothing but mmsl}acklei horse ‘ears for getting abeut, but now’ they have an electrie tramway s¢rvice that is not excelled anywhere,i and! you can go anywhere yvou want fér 2 1,4',“ cents. The young pqople__‘bothirnwni and women, are mad for fo e;’gn‘ clothes, and-it is the ambition of Qvery‘ young man to own a European] sult‘? and for every young woman to %ot a European dress.with a pair of| cor. sets. The number of those who|confine themselves to the native gatb is} fast shrinking. | Tokyo is cutting ¢ wa_v‘ block after block to double the width of some of its streets. All the} ap-i proaches to the proposed exposition will be three times as wide as Bmoad. way. " In the private houses the people are going in for foreign furnifure, and the Tokyo householder whd icannot boast of at least one foreign room in his house is eonsidered not a'r all fashionable. | : ; | “Things are on the jump there. ven the postman is always on the run,jand telegrams are | always delivered! by messengers on bicycles. As for auto mobiles, the streets are too nafrow for them, and there are too maryipeo ple on the streets. Some of the|Jap anese gentlemen affect autos, but they have to keep mainly to the country roads, and thére have been far too many accidents to' make automoHfiling popular. “But one thing I miss here i$ the ever-ready jinrikiSha. All you have got to do out there when leaving |your house is to crook your finger and one will appear, and you can go anywhere in it for five cents. : “We came over on a brand new ship of the Osaka Shosen Kaishdi, the Chicago Maru, and among the pissengers were two girls in the ﬁrsiclass and four in the steerage, all good looking, who were coming to Tacoma to be married to Japanese whom! they bad never seen. The marriages had been arranged by friends with photographs. ‘I understood that they [would not be allowed to land unless| their fiances appeared aand married |them. My wife found one of the girls ferying as we were nearing Tacoma, angd after some conversation we decided that she had come to the conclusion that she did not want to get married after all. My wife was much impressed by the kindness of the American Women she met on the train on the way east, and she has been appalled by the bigness of the buildings, she sayd. Then she has not got used to the liff in the hotel as yet. She never saw bne be fore. | [ - “As for the traits of the Japanese, they are inclined to be very |selfish. They will take all they can get and give as little| as possible. The man who does business with Japanése may expect to be done if he gives them the chance. The genero, or older statesmen, .I believe, are all reliable men. They are the backbone of the country and their influence prevents rhistakes in outside policy that the younger gen eration might make. - 3 CHARLESERWIN PRENDERGAST.

UTTING UP THE PINEAPPLE

Only Proper Method of Preserving This Fruit, as It Should Be . 'Done, in Slices. L 4 LY Cut in slices, using always a silver gnife, or, if you work rapidly, a steel sne, dipping it every moment or two ‘n a pan of cold water by the dish in 'Whlch you are cutting the fruit. This ls essential, as the acid of the pine lmakes'the steel corrode very quickly, {imparting a disagreeable taste to the |fruit. After slicing, peel carefully, ising a pineapple snip if you will or the point of the knifé to remove every tparticle of the “eye.”” Core and weign. ['\“U“f three-quarters of sugar to each pound of fruit. Sprinkle the sugar over the sliced fruit, which on no acrount should be left in tin, and let stand over night.” In .the morning turn pineapple and the thick juice which covers it into the preserving kettle, adding for éach pound of fruit 3 quarter cupful of water. Cook ten minutes, take out the slices without breaking, and spread on a platter in the sun or in the oven while the sirup is allowed to simmer gently until quite rich and thick. Return the fruit to the kettle, cook ten minutes longer, put into sterilized wide-mouthed c¢ans, using fresh rubbers; fill to overflowing with the scalding sirup and seal. T e o TO FRESHEN GILT FRAMES | Havoc Wrought in Hot Days of Sum“mer Shown to Be by No Means Hard to Overcome. Summer {s hard on gilt ' frames, moldings and mirrors.. The humidity in the air, -excessive dust and flies quickly work havoe. ‘ The old way was to shroud all gilt In. mosquito netting with the approach |of spring. This ts too dismal for the ]modern housekeeper: - What she canl not put away she does not worry over, for she knows gilt, especially good igilt, is cleanable. A cloth slightly | dampened in alcohol will remove blur ”and dulness. This must be delicately [and quickly done or ugly spots result.

Fly specks and the soil of soot can be removed by rubbing with fresh bread, or if the dirt is extra bad, with bread on which a drop or two of ammonia -has been sprinkled. Should ‘the gilt finally get too bad regilding is possible at ‘home with some of the Japanese liquid gilts that are easily handled by the novice. Where there are old mirrors that need regilding be careful to ask for a gilt-that has a dull finish; otherwise most of the charm of the antique look is lost. The frame is distinctly cheap ened by a high luster. . Fruit Bavaroise. For a delicious fruit bavaroise soak two level teaspoenfuls of granulated gelatine in half a cupful of water, and when softened set the dish in hot water until the gelatine is dissolved; add one cupful of rhubarb pulp cooked with sugar until it is like marmalade, juice of half a lemon; set the dish in ice water and stir until it begins to thicken; then fold in one and pne-half cupfuls of double cream whipped until it is very thick. 'Turn into a dish and set where it will chill and become solid. When ready to serve dip the mold in hot water a second, then invert on a cold dish and serve with sliced cherries over the top and a cherry sauce made by thickening canned cherry juice with a little cornst§rch when hot, and cooking wnntit creamy. : . ] ;

Cream of Tomato Soup.

Cream of tomato soup is made quick ty and easily if masle by the following recipe:. Put two saucepans on the fire. In one put two and one-half cups of-milk and scald it. In the other put two tablespoons of butter. When it is melted add three tablespoons of flour and stir till smootk and bubbles. Then add the milk and stir till thickens. Then pour into this one 10 cent can of tomato soup which. has been heated. Do not dilute the can of soup but use full strength.’ Heat and serve. This makes a delicious, cheap and easily prepared soup. c

Potage a la Reine.

Remove the fat from a quart ot water in which a chicken has been boiled. Season highly -with salt, pepper, celery salt and a little scraped onion; put on to -boil. Mash the yolks of three hard boiled eggs with a half cup of bread or cracker crumbs, which have ‘been soaked in milk. Chop a little of the meat of the chicken until fine like meat, and then stir it into the egg and bread paste. Add a pint of hot milk or cream slowly and thes blend with the hot chicken liquor.

Gooseberries.

| To can gooseberries to be nice and whole canned they should be cleaned carefully, then put as many quarts as desired into a vessel. Have ready a kettle of boiling water, pour it over the berries, leave until they turn white, which is only a few moments. Skim the berries out and put into the jars. Have more boiling water ard pour over them in the jars until ber‘rles are covered. Seal immediately. They are thoroughly cooked when opened and will keep. 2

Strawberry Salad.

Cut large strawberries in halves lengthwise, sprinkle with powdered sugar and kirsch, and let stand in icebox until very cold. Arrange in nests of white lettuce leaves and garnish with halves of berries and chopped pistachio nuts. Serve with whipped cream seasoned with mayonnaise iressing which is highly seasoneqd with salt and paprika. :

Red Beets.

Cook beets, small ones (if large, juarter them, after being cooked); nave: vinegar seasoned with salt, pepver, a little sugar, boiling hot, ready, and when beets are put into the jars, pour the hot vinegar over them. See that they are well covered before sealing, but seal immediately. Delicioug when opened. .

Escalloped Tomatoes. -

Put in a brown jar one quart can of tomatoes, four tablespoonfuls of weli mashed rice, four teaspoonfuls of Jgar, osxe green pepper slieed fine, salt. Stir and add small pieces of butter; A Bake rather slowly for one hour. | Stir occasionally so the rice will not. settle at the bottom.

HAT which is rare in the world of nature is always richly : prized by man, be it some strange fantastic form, some

.. exotic growth, or some very beautiful bloom. The stonecrop, the sage-brush and the cactus have claime@& California for their own, spreading- out into the desert-lands which lie to the eastward, and climbing up over the foothills of the Sierras, where they mark the boundary of fertility and clothe the nakedness of sand-dune and soil-serac with a spuricus vegetation; thus by the artemisias, salvias, audibertias, dudleyas, opuntias and mamillarias is the wilderness made fo bicom. But it was not to revel in the marvels on the mesas, nor the charms of the chapparral that I journeyed one afternoon to Del Mar, a tiny wayside station near San Diego, perched on the top of a high cliff above the wash of the blue Pacific waves. For days I had steeped my soul in the delights of the woods and wastes, - found companionship with birds and things that creep, and gathered here and there fragile fragrant flowers. But now. the rarest tree in the whole wide world had called to me from its isolation;.the report of its marvelous characteristics, its rugged beauty, its picturesque habitat had all been detailed, and so one glorious day, when the California sky was domed like lapis lazuli, I traveled to Del Mar to see the famous Torrey pines. : :

. It is enthralling to think how nature has set this handful of conifers on a Cadifornian cliff, the only speciméns of their kind ever found on earth, save for a few on the near by island of Santa Rosa. It was not until the year 1850 that these trees were discovered by Mr. J. L. Le Conte, who forthwith named them Pinus torreyana, after Dr. John Torrey of New York, and since then many botanists and nature-lovers have made a pilgrimage to this lonely shrine on the summit of the windswept bluffs, among them Engelmann, Asa Gray, Bayard Taylor and Charles F. Holder. Leaving the station at Del Mar, I followed the railroad for a mile or so, emerging out of a cutting on to a strip of track which skirted a deep ravine chiseled and channeled like the Grand Canon of Colorado in miniature: thence rounding a rampart of rock I came upon a mass of quarried quarts shimmering in the sunlight, such as is used for the foundation of roads in this vicinity. The shining pyramid was my signpost to leave the steel rails and turn towards the sea.

A steep, sandy trail led down to join the oiled road which skirted the shore as far as the foot of the southerly headland, and then wound away among the hills behind the cliffs. From this point I gained my first view of the Torrey pines, a cluster of tortured trunks and twisted branches covered with - fascicles of immensely long leaves outlined against the sky several hundred feet above me. To scramble up the dry banks covered with manzanita, masses of pinkish buckwheat and all manner of cacti and stonecrops mingled with the ‘inflated

Rapine From Above.

To see murder and rapine in pure perfection ore has only to visit some of the more solitary shores in the autumn when the tide is coming in and watch the fish hawks, those wolves and pillagers of the sea, and see for .one’s self how easily they hunt at heights and deliberately pick their prey. Not by any means do they nab the first too large or too little fish, but wait and pick out the very fellow the right size for flying away with. Nearly every time they fall all in a bunch from a height of a hundred-or more feet with a splash and are off with the poor wriggling fish—as easy as falling off a log.

A Close Corporation.

“] want to get a line on that fellow. Whom does he care for principally ?” “Himself.” “But has he no companion?” “Oh, yes; his umbrella.”

True Womanly,

Poor Mrs. Flubb, who's dead and gone, ‘Was often heard to say She atan’t care how things turned out, Just so she had her way.

pods of the locoweed and the aromatie plants of the Yerba santa, or mountain balm, was but the work of a few moments, and there on the top stood the little groves of rare trees, sheltered for the most part in small ravines, some specimens, however, growing at the extreme edge of the bluffs where the nooks and crannies offered but

scant foothold or mnourishment for vegetation. . Some of the trees are as much as four feet in circumference and rise to a height of from five to fifty feet, those standing in exposed places being more bent and fantastically formed than those growing in the dells. Most remarkable are the dark green tufted leaves and abundant cones of these Torrey pines;-the former grow in fascicles of five in close sheaths, and are the largest pine leaves known to the world, bei%g from nine to thirteen inches long; while the cones are five to six inches long and ten to fourteen inches in circumference, oval, with thick scales terminating in stout recurring beaks. The nuts are. flattened and have a black wing, the ghells being hard and thick and the seeds edible. The pollen-bear-ing flowers are terete. - The habitat of the Torrey pine cov-: ers some four hundred -acres, owned for the most part by the city of San Diego, though recently the finest

groves have been purchased by Miss

Scripps of La Jolla, wha, realizing the immense scientific value and importance of these trees, has determined to do everything possible to preserve them from mutilation and possible extermination. No words can. describe the wonderful beauty of the surroundings of these Torrey pine woods. The scenery in California always exercises a fascination by reason of its individuality, for it is ‘a land in which man and the desert are ever waging relentless war; where the desert has proved impregnable the cacti forbid encroachment and flaunt their flaming red and vellow flowers in the face of defeated toil; but where man has conquered, wielding the silver scepter of irrigation and a:nexing the territory thus torn from the prickly fingers of the opuntia, there grows a garden. whose luxuriance overpowers and whose productiveness is amazing. Encircling the valley stood queer honeycombed cliffs, whose strata of burnt sienna and chalk white stone formed bands of startling contrast, and beyond them rose the grim gray mountains of San Bernardino. On the other side of the point of pines the cliffs fell away in sheer declivity to the sea, across whose waves, now stilled by the sunset peace, the level rays of light were painting paths of purple, rose and amethyst. Over the rim of this ocean of color the sun like a golden galleon sailed down into the west, the light turned pale, beryl and primrose usurped the place of fire and flame, then gray vapors drifted softly up to the zenith and Venus shone out between the points of an ashen aurora, cool breezes sprang to life, dusk blotted out the underbrush and the southern day was over.

Two Reasons.

Seymour—l don’t intend to marry until I reach the years of discretion. Ashley—ln that case you’ll never marry. : B

Seymour—How do you make that out? !

Ashely—ln the first place, you would never reach the years of discretion, even if you lived a thousand years; in the second: place, if you did reach the years of discretion you would know enough not to marry. : {

Two Cases.

Towne—My wife’s nerves are such peculiar things. She always worries when she’s having a dress made just as if—

The Reverse.

Cupid and the Proprieties

(Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.)

Monday morning was drawing peril

ously: near and the party had just broken up. It was one of Patricia Norton’s regular Sunday night supper parties, whose guest list never numbered more than eight and usually less—and the Falwells and- Jimmie Brent were the latest stayers. Mrs. Falwell and bher husband were just leaving. Mrs. Falwell and her husband! It was alwars that way, not that Mrs. Falwell wus the more important of the two or was tne possessor of any mental, moral or physical superiority, but it just nat urally was. Yet every one liked Mr Falwell and he himself seemed quite content with things as they were. Jimmie Brent had risen with the Falwells, but after they had gone he still remained. In his hand he held a half smoked cigar. ; “May 1 stay untii 1 fnish this?” he inquired, indicating his weed. “Surely,” said Patricia.

_ “Brent promptly knocked off not only the ashes, but the live end of the cigar. Patricla's eyebrows ‘went up inguiringly. - ) : g

“Your motive, Jimmie?” she ques tioned.

*“You said I should stay until I finished this cigar,” holding it off and adniiring its proud, brown beauty. . “But 1 don’t.expect you to be forever doing it.”

“Forever!” mused Jimmie. “I'd like to laake this last forever.” : :

“Jimmie Brent, you are coming back to a forbidden subject. Finish that cigar in five minutes—for then out you go.” ’ :

“Do you mean that, Patricia?” making no move to light his cigar and

—if possible—settling himself still more comfortably in his chair. *“May I ask how:-you are going to do it? You can’t use Lrute force, you know.” *ll shan't attemnpt to do it myself,” she said, with dignity. I shall call Aunt Nancy, and jf she can’t aceomplish it she will call the janitor.” “Call Aunt Nancy? Good.

And all that because ‘Mar'se Brent he likes his cawfee dat strong dat if de cup was ter bre'’k de cawfee would ‘most stand up alone.”” . “All of which goes to prove my point. As for the janitor, nice sort of a name you would have if one of your Sunday nights ended in a disgraceful brawl between the janitor and one of your guests.” :

*Nice sort of mame [l'll have, anyway, if you stay here much later” muttered Patricia, glancing at the clock. “Those new people across the hall are taking a lively interest in me as it is.

‘1 think they are horrid. I've seen only two members of the family, but they are enough. There is an old, gray-haired woman, so lean and angular you could use her for a costumer. She owns a barbed-wire voice that corresponds perfectly with her hatchet-face.” “Barbed-wire voice, - hatchet-face.” repeated Jimmie. *“She is perfectly safe from me. But what sort of person is she? Your description doesn’t reveal that little detail.” d “Oh, doesn’t it? Then perhaps the fact that she discusses the other people in the apartment building with the gervants may throw some light on the fubject.” : “It does help some. But what has ghe said about—about—well, about vou, for instance?” “Well, she said that if I were not—"

Inventor of Diving Armor

Parts of His Device That Have Not Been Improved Upon From the First.

Among pioneer inventors to whom the diving dress in its present perfected form owes so much was Willifam Hannis Taylor. The previous hit or miss attempts were superseded by the Taylor patent of June 20, 1838, in which the essential feature was the valve allowing the emission of consumed air without an influx of water. ‘Previous to this time, the Scientific: American says, there had been the diving chests and the diving bell, of which the latter, introduced by Smeaton in 1778, was the safest and most practical device for submarine exploration. The diving bell has been developed alongside of the diving dress and is still in use. The general appearance of Taylor’s diving armor was like that of a knight’s guit of mail, except for a prominent hulge in the body pilece. A large pipe

Fatricia stopped in the middle of. her speech, and her face flushed. = _ - “Go on. What did she say?” - “She said,” repeated Patricia, with an effort, “that if | was not engaged ltc you 1 ougkt to be, and—" o | - “My sentiments exactly. The lady { of the hatchet-facé is not such a bad %sort, after all. But to go-on. What ;else‘;’" 3 < i “She satd it was disgraceful the | number of times that you come here, 'and the lateness of vour stay Is always perfectly shocking. And those .are my sentiments, Jimmie; you simply- must go.” r ) “Not until you have promised to become Mrs. J. Brent before the yeur ’ is over.” i T . “I'd never do that.” } “Very well, then, here I'll sit, ‘Mean- | time, take heed unto yourself and reimember the hour.” - { "I am remembering it, Jimmie. { Please, please go. Finish your cigar %as you cross the park.” . ! “No, thank you; that isn't included in my campaign plans. Tell mé more. about these interesting people. Who is the second member of the family { that you know?"” . ) . i “A horrid, freckled boy, who is the most übiquitous person with whom -it ‘has ever been my misfortune to come {ir. contact. He is always in the halls {and lately he has insisted on postiirg |my letters for me.

"“You seem to have made a conquest, I‘and, after the manner of womankind 'in general, you don’t appreciate it ‘ By the way, how did all these Ffemarks { of the hatchet-faced one reach -your ]e*rs? That point isn’t quite clear to ' me."” - s . ) -

i "Aunt Nancy told me. The worran Eberself and the janitor, to whom ay | most estimable neighbor across the iwia_\' has also been takking, it seems, |told Aunt Nancy.” oLk ~ “But, Patricia, what was that youn !sam about people listening to tales from servants, and talking to them?” “Jimmie, you are horrid. ‘lt is different with Aunt Nancy. She is—" “A dear, as | have always maintained,” interrupted Jimmie. = “But come, Patricia. Aren’t you going to accept me this time?” - “No, I am not. Oh, Jimmie, it is one o'clock. Please go.” : “l will not until you promise to be i my wife, Patricia,” and, rising quickly, Brent crossed to Patrieia, who also h:.d risen. He took her in his arms. P tricia attempted to freecherself. “Promise me, Patricia, that you will | be my wife,” coaxgd Jimmie, gently, | but there was underneath it all a kstern tone that implied that the man f would breok delay no longer. | “Will you go at once if Ido promise?” ! “I'll go in five minutes. [ want to ;tvll vou something first. Is it a bar- | gain?” . § “Yes, Jimmie, I will marry you.” . ’ “Before the year is over?” S “Yes,”™ . o } Brent bent and kissed her before he asked: "On your word of honor, in }spite of what 1 am going to tell you? iOh. 1 promise you I haven’t commit- | ted a. penal offiense or dlsgrgced the { family in any way."” ) “Tell me. You have my word, ‘and Ithut once given holds good for -all time.” ; . 5

Brent bent and kissed the face &e held between his hands before he spoke. ‘“Patricia, | am the main part of the new family that has just moved into the apartment across the hall.” “You!” gasped Patricta. “And, and the woman with the awful face and voice? They are dreadful, even if she is related to you.” “But she isn’t a relatior of mine, so don’t look so distressed. She will not come to pay us iong visits. She is a most estimable woman, however, and my—housekeeper.” - - ~+nd the boy?” ) ¢

“The ‘horrid imp,” which I believe } was the affectionate and tender term | you'used in conjunction with him, is | my young brother, who, by the way, | thinks that you are the one woman.l And all those tales were purely my | own invention, carried to the right per- | son by my faithful housekeeper. You-i see, dear, | was getting desperate. Re: member, you have promised, on yourj word of honor, to marry me; so there is to be no retraction.” . ! “Marry you? |1 certainly will,” saldi Patricia, positively, “if for no other reason than to keep my eye on you iA the future and prevent your doing | something still worse. But do you | remember your own promise to go?” I “Yes; and I'll go,” said Jimmie, | snatching up his cigar from the chim- l ney piece. *“Only I'll smoke this, not as I cross the park, but as 1 cross the | hall.” : :
