HThe TT 7hited Cepulchre JL The VV Tale of O Pelee

By Will Levington Comfort

strongly delineated. Will Levington Comfort, the author, is well known for his superior literary talent, and in the present instance he has selected a theme admitting of intense delineation. No story of recent years has covered a theme more interesting than that of the eruption of Mont Pelee. The serial has all the coloring and charm of the beautiful surroundings of Saint Pierre, and there are touches of perfection in the descriptions of scenery and incidents. Peter Constable and Hayden Breen, young Americans, visit Saint Pierre just before the Pelee volcano scattered death and destruction over the ill-fated island. The hero of the story, Constable, saves the life of the beautiful Lara Stansbury at the time of the eruption, and the scenes on that occasion are thrillin gly described. All through the story are incidents of the most fascinating character. They include a touching love romance' of Hayden and the girl to whom he is devoted, and the horror and fate that reigned at the moment when the island was engulfed in doom and disaster. This brilliant and masterly narrathe of the crash at, Martinique with a man and woman standing clear against the sequence of events rivals "The Last Days of Pompeii" in pictorial and dramatic power. The story should have a very cordial reception, it will interest all readers, young and old, and may be classed among the very best serials of its class that have been written in recent years v '

CHAPTER I. Peter Constable aat forward on the main deck of his ovn yacht, the Madame de Staeh, which had jast been hitched to the bottom of Saint Pierre's harbor. His single guest for the cruise, Hayden Breen, was back in the cabin, with a book and a long, thin glass. Three weeks previously, early in April, Constable had met Breen for the first time. And of that meeting you must hear. It came about some sixty hours before the Madame cleared from New York harbor, and a queer night for both men. Constatle had been pacing the deck alone, when he heard a soft step below on the Brooklyn pier. He bent over the railing, an! perceived that a stranger was about to throw himself into the water. Constable called sharply. The figure at the pier edge stiffened, and a face swung upward. The two parleyed for a moment, and the yoke that was borne to Constable was that of a gentleman. The man below hesitated consideredthen accepted with a laugh an invitation to come aboard. Presently in the cabin the owner of the Madame faced an indiyiduaL tastefully, even freshly attired, and one whose manner betrayed no flaw. The face was pale, imposing; a reckless face, but not devastated though the eyes, perhaps, had a look of having seen too mach. For two hours the pair talked aiwut books, pictures, dollars, the tropics, and suicide. At the end. Constable was so strongly impressed that he Invited the stranger to be his guest for the cruise. Breen glanced at him whimsically. MI wonder i I really did drop off the dock, and this Is the astral plane," he mused. "This is the edge of Brooklyn, and I am serious," Constable said. "This Is the edge of Brooklyn, and I am astonished, Breen replied.-.. "So far as I know, you would be my only guest. IIad you better not wait until to-morrow? Think again." "I should prefer that you say 'yes now." "Better hear more about me first. I have spoken only in generalities. My past bj at your disposal,"" Breen warned. I should like to hear much about you, but not ii the light of your decision. Will you go with me?" -Yes." "Where do you intend to stay tonight?" "You altered my only plan, you will remember, Mr. Constable." "I'll have a berth made up for you at once. I'm glad you have found it possible to look up tie tropics again,' the owner finished. Breen appeared content, and accepted tha various offices from his host with a fine, half-humorous appreciation. Constable found, in their early intercourse, not the slightest cause to igret hi impulsive invitation. That the other did not harry him with references to ftis kindness was, to Constable's way of thinking, the severest test of a thoroughbred. Breen dia not leave the fehip, and seldom the cabin, during the entire period of preparation. He sat in a reclining chair and read the essayists, mildly spirited. Whatever bad been his attitude before, he accepted what life offered him now in calm oess. He still had the jaded human's IaJt resource, when this unexpected but pleasant portion of life was at an end. Such semed to be the philosophy of this creature who bad passed the death sentence npon himself. Constable slept aboard the last night before sailing, and was at breakfast with his guest about eight in the rooming, when a servant entered the saloon to anr'nnce that a gentleman on th pier wanted to speak with "Mr. Constable's friend." Breen set his co.Tee cup down lowly, and his eyes met his host's. "Mr. Constable," he said, "you have noted, no doubt, that I have remained under cover rather closely since our interesting meeting. There is no one in New York whom I care to see, but the person out yonder feels differently toward me. In fact, he is very much absorbed in my movements. I 'happened to Step to the railing a few miaute before breakfast, and caught his eye. The truth a if I see him now, he will .persuade me to go "iti- Q in and 1 would much rather accompany you." "What would you advise?" Constable asked quickly. "With your interests at heart, I can only advise you to bid me good-by and allow me to thank you for many genuine courtesies. Perhaps you remember that I offered to outline my past, and you deterred me for the time being." "I want you to go, of course. What is the simplest way to manage this?" "How soon do you sail?" Constable went to the speaking tube and called Captain Xegley. A moment later he turned to Breen with the information that the Madame was Just ready to clear, and would be put off as gaietly and quickly, as possible. The ser

of great power and interest, soon be forgotten by those

who love good literature. "The Whited Sepulchre" is THE STORY OF MONT PELEE, and is a graphic, natural narration of that great disaster which thrilled and shocked the civilized world. The wordpainting is vivid and inspiring, the incidents powerful and exciting, the characters

vant entered with the word that the visitor insisted upon seeing "Mr. Constable's friend." There was a passage of bells from the bridge to the engine room, and the Madame came to life. Constable climbed to the bridge. The stranger below on the pier was in a furious state of mind, and was trying to force his way aboard. It was plain that Breen was badly wanted, and equally plain to Constable that he was running Into the danger of entangling himself in the meshes of the law; but he was stoutly disinclined to give up an admirable companion for the voyage. The progress of clearing went on quickly. The Madame's prow was turned out into the harbor, and the signal given to free the aft cable. At this point the insistent stranger raised his voice and struggled with the dock man to prevent him from slipping the rope. Constable stepped to the railing of the bridge and invoked the assistance of two men on the pier head. "Take that feliow in hand," he ordered, "lie seems to be laboring under a delusion. That's good, men I" The stranger was overpowered, and the cable cast off. Harsh fragments of speech wert carried upward, but no sentences that cohered sufficiently for Constable's intelligence, until the very last, when, as the ship swung free, he heard plainly : "I'll get you both, if I have to follow y.-m around the world !" "I don't know but what you will," the mar on the bridge muttered to himself. "You seem moved by a rather emphatic disposition." That night, in his oil skins. Constable paced the hurricane deck. His mind was serene, and he was inclined to regard the affair of the morning as a far-off thing which didn't signify. What had placed Breen in the fugitive lists he did not care to know. He was just enough not to forget that there are regrettable transactions in every man's past a black bundle of perversities which gome men designate their "chamber of horrors," and others call their "pet frailties." Constable felt that he was called upon to judge no man. He liked Breen, and did not want his liking altered, save for the better. He could not imagine Breen doing a cowardly thing; and anything else did not greatly matter. The spray swept in gusts over the Madame's dipping prow. The bare masts, tipped with liiVts, swung with a giant sweep from port to starboard and back to port again, fingering the black heavens for the blown-out stars. Constable couldn't be half-miserable oui there on the tossing floor of the Atlantic. Mr. Pugh, the new third officer, secured at the last moment to take the place of Mr. Ilatt. who was ill,1 was on the bridge now. Occasionally in the glow of Pugh'a cigar Constable could see the face of the seaman. It seemed small, colorless and rubbed out not the face of a man who could bring a ship up to port through a raving gale. It was nearly midnight when Constable went below. Breen was still reading. "How does it happen, Peter, that a man of your substance happens to be o it here in a sumptuous yacht with only one guest and that an accidental one?" Breen questioned. "I have few friends, and little aptness for entertaining," Constable said. "I wouldn't know what to do with a ship load of guests. I took out a party once. The members of this party played poker. I would rush down to the cabin door, calling, Come on deck quickly, my friends. An old socker of a whale is snoring off our port bow! 'All right. Peter. somebody would say; 'bring it right in. It's your deal, Dickie.' One man got nil the money finally, and then there were testy tempers." v "Men men," said Breen ; "but women go down to sea in other men's boats." "I don't know any women up there," Constable declared. "By up thcra' I refer in general to the Staters and Canada. I shouldn't know what to do with women here. They'd be sick. They'd talk about things they didn't kro.v about, put on rakish caps, look frowsy when the wind was on, and when they had sprang all their changes of raiment, 1 A - . ft "Peter, you are on the wrong tack. There are rich men's sons who tan ?o to sea without poker or bridga ; and feminine aristocrats who know no seasickness, and who look adorable in rakish yachting caps and blowing hair. Some time you'll find one " Breen halted. The other was staring hard into the prism of g!as oa the buffet staring and smiling. I believe you are jockeying nie Into delivering platitudes, Peter," Ertru finished. MI have an uncle in Martinique, Brccn a fine old chap whom you'll be g!al to know. This uncle has a partner in the fruit and sugar business. They are keen, kindly, mesij bothr partners in the higher

sense of the word. My unrle is a bachelor, held sweet by a past, the good old story. His partner, however, has a wife and daughter." "Ah !" "They all live together in a grand o!d plantation house on the bluffs south of the Morne d'Orange, Saint Pierre. Mrs. Stanshury, the wife of my uncle's partner it is important that you get this is a very remarkable woman, tempered like a Damascus blade, ornamental as the vase of Alharnbra. This description is not extempore. I have spent years thinking it out. I am proud of it. A splendid Frenchwoman, this mother, with mystic eyes, and some strafe insight which leads her to dislike me soulfully, and the stuff of Jeanne d'Arc in her brain and hand. She's not quite adjustable to words. You are fascinated, yet afraid of her. At least, I am. She fires me with a childish zeal to show the best wares I have. The result is, I play circus before her." "Most entrancing lady," said Breen. "The daughter is more like the beloved Josephine," Constable resumed lightly "brave and true and tender. At least, from my pilgrimages and meditations, I should say that Miss Stansbury resembled the empress more than the SwordHanded Jeanne. And to think that once she graced these very decks ! That was a marvelous day, old man, a Caribbean day of blue and gold. The maiden improved it by pointing out to me how utterly worthless I am in the world 'just sailing 'round. (To be continued.)

GALLANTS ANNOYED PLAYERS. 3Ian nicer Could Scarcely Keep Them Off St ace In Itevolntlonary Day. The theater In Xew York during the period of occupation by the British was really quite a social If not nn artistic success, says the New York Telegraph. The town was filled with Tories, who were glad to attend in order to show their love and n fleet ion for the British officers who appeared as actors. Othello was a great favorite as was Ilichanl III. One advantage the soldier folk had over the civilian actors whot preceded and followed them. The orchestra was always made from th? regimental bands and there were fourteen musicians at a dollar a head a night to make pleasant the entr'acte and to provide the chills and fever accompaniment for the slaughter of Desdemona. The scenery Is said to have been Insufficient and of a quality hardly calculated to aroure vast applause and yet It is known that Major Andre was one of those who helped paint the scenery for several of the productions. Thomas Barrow, originally a coach painter and afterward New York's only dealer In engravings, was bia assistant. They painted roadside flats, drops, sld? scenes, including In the general effect "streets, woods and wilds, chambers and palaces." according to a writer familiar with their efforts. A Capt Delaney also gave his talent with Hie brush as a contribution to the success of these amateur shows. The costumes were of the best, however, for, nomatter what, the play, the actors appeared in the funlfonns of their regiments. The young subalterns borrowed the gear nnd millinery of their friends among the Tory dames of New York and east back to the days of Shakespeare, when all the female parts were played by men. For a lonr time in these early days of the New York stage the hardest fight the managers had to make was to keep the gallants of the day off the stage. They Insisted upon the privilege accorded box seat holders In Lordon nnd dawdled about the stage during the action of the play, babbling among themselves or talking to the actors who were not actually engaged with tbIr lines. That they were an addition to the scene slightly Incongruous and foreign w as not only admitted, but insisted upon by the managers of those early days, but It required a vast amount of nerve on the part of an actor-manager to insist uppn the withdrawal of a Schuyler or a Clinton or a Livingston from the stage In the New York of those days. A Caddy's Joke. James Anderson, of the ScottishAmerican Golf Club, 6iniled at a poor player on the Van Cortlandt Park links In New York. "lie reminds me of a chap I used to know," said Mr. Anderson. "This chap played so badly that even his caddies made a butt of him. He got a ball badly bunkered one day, and, do what he would, he couldn't get it out again: Whack, whack, whack he went,' missing every time. "After half an hour's work he wiped his wet face with his handkerchief, aud turned despairingly to the caddy. "'Hang It, he said, I have tried all my clubs on this confounded ball. What on earth am I to do now? "The caddy laughed harshly. "'Give It a swat with yer bag, he said." Infant Wives. Girl babies are often unwelcome tn China. A terrible witness to this is a stone standing near a pool outside the ctty of Foochow. On It is the Inscription, "Girls may not be drowned here." Poo; parents often Bell or give away a daughter when only a few weeks or months old, to be the future wife of a boy about her own age. The child who becomes a bride by a "rearing marriage" is taken home and brought op by the family of Jier future husband. An Englishwoman when visiting a school observed a bright boy about eight years of age carrying a baby girl. She asked if she were his sister, whereupon the boy looked shy and did not answer. His brother volunteered the information, "She is his wifer Flreleas Stoves. FIreless or aolf-cooking stoves, which have been so popular In Germany for a number of years, have been recently much Improved. The early types were simply boxes made with double walls so as to retain the heat, and food to be boiled or stewed was first thoroughly heated and then Inclosed In the box for a sufficient time to cook by the retained beat The latest apparatus Is said to be heated by a stone. This Is made sufficiently hot In an oven or over any fire, then placed In the cooker with the steak or roast, and the box is sealed up and left for an hour or so until the foxl Is thoroughly cooked and hot. With double boxes, boiling, frying and roasting may all proceed at once without care. How to Handle a IIor, Scratch his back and tickle him under the belly. You cau lead him anywhere.

The Happy Sunday. "If there is one thing above others which the American woman of to-day. who successfully manages so complex" an organism as the home, needs to insist upon it is that she have some quiet time In order to rest her overwrought nerves," says a writer in Harper's Bazar. "The problem of securing this rest Is hers. I have secured some in my home this way: I do my own work, with the help of a student, so that, with the reputation outside of being a 'god committee woman, and the ambition at home of running m.v household upon scientific principles, my uerves are usually at high tension. Each morning brings the usual commotion of butcher and grocer at the Soor, telephone calls and,, husband and children to be started off to their respective tasks in good humor, and then the usual round of morning duties and dinner to prepare. Bat when Sunday comes I lie still. I have my cocoa and rolls in bed. the student prepares the dinner, and I emerge In time to accompany my husband to church nnd rested enough for the long Sunday afternoon with him and the children. "The children look forward all week to this day, which they tall 'happy Sunday.' My exierienee has told me that If I arise and go through the usual routine in the morning I become too tired to make Sunday c happy day for the others in the afternoon. So this plan I have found works very well In our family, and is satisfactory to all those most concerned." Cleaning Flotrr? Yuen. Glass Cower vases are apt to become much stained in time, especially if such flowers as mignonette and forget-me-nots are left in them for a few days without changing the water. To remove the stains few methods are better than that of placing a handful of used tea leaves at the bottom of the vase, with a . little vinegar, and with the hand placed across the top, shaking It until the marks have disappeared. If not completely eliminated, this should be repeated, while in addition a rag wound around a stick and pushed into the crevices will effectually remove the most obstinate stains. Nobby Linea Salt And ii'ow for the genuine summer Crocks. For the majority of these linen is the chosen fabric and some exceedingly stylish suits are being made from this material. For example, our ;ut illustrates a charming model In pale blue linen with tucked yoke and ?tock of doited Swiss outlined by a band of embroidery insertion. The undersleeves are ruflles of linen with a couple of tucks Just above the hem Df each. Health nnd Ileauty Hints. Lack of sufficient sleep soon shows in one's appearance. Buttermilk Is very good for removing freckles or sunburn. Sleeping with the mouth open will spoil the shape of the lips. A solution that sometimes will aid the hair in curling is half a pint of strong tea, dissolving in It eleven grains of carbonate of potash. The hair Is wet with this while dressing, laid in waves and he'.d so while drying. Statue to Women. In the streets of London there are only live statues to women. Four of these are of Queens and the fifth is Mrs. Siddons', whose statue as the tragic muse Is in Paddington Green. In the matter of memorial tablets won. i.n fare n letter, as out of fully 100 affixed to houses where celebrated people dwelt only four have women's names uim them. These commemorate Fanny Burney (Mine. O'Arblay). Joanna U.illlie, Elisabeth Barrett drowning and Mrs. Siddons. To Amuse Children. A novel way to entertain children on a rainy day is to give them pictures cut from some magazine or book which

have been sliced up. The children usually find great interest In putting these together, and when they become expert a prize may be given to the one who is soonest able to paste his picture on a piH-e of plain paper. Toys of this kind are sold in most stores, it is true, but when using them it is necessary to put the same pictures together, while if tljey are takn at random from a magazine or book, there may be infinite variety in the game.

If the skin Is naturally white very little care is required to preserve It, says the Family Doctor. A good soap aided by a pinch or two of oatmeal, may be used for a thorough cleansing VAEIETY OF TUCKED BLOUSES. of the hands twice a day, and if needful to still further cleanse'' them warm water not hot will do the necessary work. . Once a week they should be rubbed all over with a slice of lemon. If these exquisitely white hands are inclined to chap, camphor ice may be applied at night and white gloves worn to increase the softening effect. Holes should always be cut In the palms of the gloves to allow ventilation. For distressingly red hands equal parts of glyeeriu, lemon juice nnd rosewater may be applied nightly under gloves. Daily applications of lemon Juice are sure to produce a whitening effect. Tight sleeves and tight finger rings are a frequent source of red hands, and the only remedy for this is to remove the Irritating cause. The New Place Cnrila. Vegetables and flowers form a favorite place card for summer luncheon and dinner. These may be easily made at home If one has an Idea of coloring. The design is first sketched on bristol board,, then cut out and the petals are padded with cotton or wool. Over these padded sections tinted crepe paper is stretched and the edges pasted to the cardboard. The leaves and stems are covered with a wash of green and a touch of water color will improve the petal. The small rectangular bit of cardboard for the writing Is left undecora ted. Brides of every type are constantly sketched for bridesmaids' luncheons. A white satin slipper with the toe tilled with orange blossoms makes another pretty design for such a luncheon. Iaier dolls are used extensively In holding the place card. The bodice in the form of guimpe and overblouse, sometimes with the short-waist effeet and sometimes not. Is a very charming accompaniment to the tunic skirt. One of the very prettiest models for the sleeve of au evening dress is cut straight and even aud so loose that the outer edge is tucked up almost to the shoulder. The bordered foulards and the bordered taffetas are also good style and the India silks showing effective stripes that are not too pronounced in their coloring are also in favor. Let any one who suffers from neuralgic face ache try how It answers to sit In a sunny window and let the soothing sunshine fall uion the painful part. In nervous debility, too, and for insomnia, no treatment is so good as rest combined with plenty of sunshine. In Paris the smartest little coats for children are made of pongee. They are cut oa kliuoQO lines aad the sleeves are

three-quarter length. All the edges are scalloped with embroidery silk to match the pongee. The scallop is first run, then padded and lastly embroidered in buttonhole stitch; the work is just as simple as that done upon lingerie. Tassels are very nuch used wherever a place for them can be found. The heavy and the fine laces are fashionable In combination for trimming both gowns and separate blouses. The rage for a boutonniere of artificial flowers seems now almost as well established as the waistcoat itself. Among the most worn flowers are the purple pansy and the gardenia. Buttons are used not only where they are needed but where they are not needed on the new gowns. For the tailored suits there are fabric-covered buttons and the braid buttons. Cold bauds are decidedly more chic than ribbon ones for the hair, and come in single, double, triple and even quadruple forms. These combined with tortoise shell or amber are extremely handsome. , Consistent with the passion for skimpy skirts and poke bonnets and other things directoire and empire, the heelless slipper with anklet straps that cross and recross is now demanded by the Tarisienne. Lace inserts in stockings and silk lace mitts further record the. vogue of the early nineteenth-century styles and before long it is possible that every woman will look exactly as though she Lad tripped from the pages of a Kate Greenaway book. Wise women who do not have too many clothes take care to provide themselves with a separate white skirt to accompany fancy blouses. One of the most serviceable materials for this purpose is white poplinette, a skirt of which cut in many gores fits perfectly about the feet, where it should be finished with a deep and obvious hem, punctuated

with a row braid. of soutache or herculcs nasi That Creep. To keep an art square or Ingrain rug smoothly on the floor, place under it on old carpet a trifle smaller than the rug. Tack the corners of the under one to the floor. If desired; the upper one will cling to It and keep its place much better than If laid on the bare floor. Black aad White. The ever popular black and white combinations are as fashionable as ever nnd the model from which the above sketch was made was black Neapolitan, the brim rolling as Indicated aud crowu' trimmed with two upstanding rows of plaited white lace. Below this was a pretty and artistic crlmming of white pearl beads and oa left side falling over brim was a black breast with soft, feathery ends. To Be Well Dreaaed. Dress becomingly. Be individual in your style. Do not dress leyond your means. Learn the rightt thnes and season for wearing j'our clothes. Make a study not of your good polntt but of your weak ones before buying your frocks and hats. Learn materials .and their wearing qualities; especially if your clothes must do duty another season. .Study color effects aud know what combines well, as well ss what is suited to your type. Learn the lines that suit you and stick to them. Only modify them enough not to be hoielcssly out of date. Don't trust to what your dressmaker or milliner tells you. Use your own common sense. Do not buy a frock or hat because it takes your eye, only to remember when you get home that you cannot afford It and have no suitable occasions for wear ing it. Get good tilings and few of them rather than the other way round. Tlie former will look well as lomj as they hang together, while the cheap ones look well till you are caught out In the first damp day. Don't try to make your cast-off finery of winter do duty for summer evenings. You will look fresher and sweeter in a 10-cent lawn or Swiss, simply and beeomlngly made, than in a bedrarsled chiffon that has been danced into dhv reputableness.
