DOROTHY’S DINNER.

“I intend,” said Dorothy, resolutely,
shutting her lips so firmly that the
dimples straightened themselves out
for once all around her pretty mouth

—“I intend to have some people at my
dinner table this Christmas Day who
are poore1 than I am—some people
whose lives are saddened—who have
heavier burdens to cairy than I, and
meie tiouble to make ends meet, if
such a thing can be.”

“You’d better buy youIself a new
gown, Dorothy,” laughed the P1 incess
“and your hat and gloves are so shab—
by they look like an upper house-
maid’s.”

The Princess was Dorothy’s cousin
Lil. Dorothy, who had always been in
the imaginative line, had dubbed her
Princess years ago, when they were
both children, because Lil had always
been surrounded by velvet and 'ur and
satin and jewels, and blooded horses
and 'tall, solemn, cockney accented
coachmen—in short, by anything and
everything that money can buy or hire
or the purveyOrs to wealth devise.

Dorothy had her living to get, and
the Princess had more than she could
do to spend her income.

The Princess made a. little impatient
gesture. “Oh! I say, Dorothy, why

 

 

don’t you ask me over to dinner 'to"-‘

morrow? You seem to have covers and
viands galore, and you slight the only
relative you have thi 5 side of Cali-
fornia. What I she. ’ do with

myself to- morrow is a query that ’

doesn’t seem to have presented itself

to your beneficient mind. ”
, “No, Lil, I don’ t want you, " Dorothy

answered seriously. “I’m going to
break my scanty crust, as I told you, in

the first place, with those who have"
I dare say a brisk te‘ii '~'

minutes’ walk will supply my demand
for guests, and what should I do with
a fine lady. like you at table in com-
pany with the halt, maim and the
blind? 'You’d take away their ap-
petites, and spoil all the joy of the
feast with your silks, and your jewels,
and your beautiful, cold face. Go’
along with you, fair ladye, and dine in
your royal castle in lonely state. I
want none of you!”

The sleigh had started. The bells
were jingling, the superb horses held
their heads high in the frosty air. The
Princess called back curtly, “I shall- do
nothing of the kind. I shall dine with

 

COLEBROOK Taxes LEAVE.

Dorothy went thoughtfully into the
house. When she had taken off her“
hood and brushed her .hair the door-
bell rang and the artist came in with
the drawings ,for her new story. They
were good drawings and appropriate
ones, for Colebrook, like Dorothy, had

gray in his hair and in the big, fierce
military mustache he wore. Dorothy’s
ingenuousness often amused him. He
had always regarded her as a child:
His name for her was Scheherezade, in
henor of that story telling Wife of the
Sultan, whose head was at stake unless
she went on every night with her tale,
whether she had anything to tell or
not, just as Dorothy had to go on wit-h
hers, in orde1 to appease butcher, ba-
ker, landlord and everybody else who
had anything to do with her material
comfort. “Don‘t you think it is a lit-
tle far fetched to extend your pldl
making to your own dinner table?
Fie! my child, write it out. It’s a good
fiction idea. Moneybags will buy it
and I’ll illustrate sit ’with my top abil-
ity. Bless me, what a picture that
would make—the-‘ group around the
table gathered in from highways and
byways, with you at the head. Will
you give me a sitting so that I may
make you an accurate portrait? Come,
let us give over such extremely vision-
ary schemes, and employ our ideas
rather to enhance the glory of our own
little pocket!”

He spoke banteringly, and the pink
roses in Dorothy’s face deepened tc
carmine. “I shall not write it out,
thank you," she replied somewhat tart-
ly. “I am tired of writing out things
for other people to read and criticise.
I intend to live thisthing myself!”

“Do so, by all means,” Colebrook
said, twisting the corners of his gray
mustache, smiling and rising to take
his hat, “but I think when all’s done'
you’ll find it would have been easier
the old way. Poor people deserve
their reputation for ingratitude. It
they treat you well while the meal is in

progress y0u may consider yourseli
fortunate.”
He took his leave, and Dorothy

pouted a little as she watched him
down the street. Then she put on he1
hat and jacket and set out for a distant
quarter of the village, which she knew
was inhabited by people upon whose
shoulders the mantle of success had
not fallen, and to whose impecunioSity
her own slender salary would seem like

self.

It was Christmas Day and Dorothy’s
door bell was pealing forth sounds of
welcome. There was a delicious odor
streaming through the house which
spoke eloquently of the Coming feast.
The little parlor was radiant with a
glowing fire, and with the blooming
plants which were at once Dorothy’s
extravagance and delight. Mary
Ann, Dorothy’s ancient servitor, was
in a state of excitement bordering on

frenzy, and Dorothy trembled for the
success of'the dinner, which, however,
turned out to be a. jolly affair, cooked
to a. turn, and seasoned to the taste of
queens, and kings, too, for that matter,
as well as that of several much more
ordinary people, for Dorothy’s search
among the poor and needy had not
been in vain, and there came to occupy
those three empty chairs in that tiny

'box of a. dining room a deaf and dumb

man, a. decayed gentlewoman, and an
aged seamstress carrying a young child
in her arms, and so bent and bowed

with rheumatism that it was with diffi-
culty she made her way up the low
stoop which ran along the front of the
cottage.

Dorothy, arrayed in her prettiest
gown, with a. rose at her belt and an-
other in her hair, ran to meet her
guests, to carry the baby, and to wel-
come them, as perhaps two of them at

least had never been welcomed in all _

their lives before. She was a pretty
missionary with that glowing color in
her face, and the soft light of pity in
her brown eyes, but the best of it was
that did not act the missionary at all
but only the sweet, simple, sympathetic
hostess, who devoted herself to th
comfort of her guests with a fe1venc3
that left no room. for anything so"
enjoyment and happiness.

The. feeble old gentlewoman whoxf

A NUN LOST: ‘A WIFE GAINED.

Pretty Romance of a Young Novitiate in:
a Sombre Ottawa Convent.

Mlle. Baudoin, who afterwards was
known as Sister Bonsecours, was. only
sixteen years old when, she professed
herself a.‘ postulant of'the Order of the
Gray Nuns. She- was the daughter 01

a. narrow-minded, bigoted tradesmen,

who like many of his class among the
French Canadians imagined that to
have a son or daughter in religious or-
ders was tohave a. sort of patent oi
nobility.

So Mlle. Baudoin started in on her
probation—sa probation of five years,
the vows being/made only from year to
year.~ At first things went admirably.
Everybody loved the girl-they couldn’t
help it. She herself seemed happy. The
pent-up sunshine in her nature had to
find some outlet, and it bubbled out in
music. The fame of SiSter Bonsecour’s
skill and genius in music soon crept
out beyond the convent walls. People
in Ottawa and from a distance began
to send their daughters to her for in-
struction. She became more popular
than 'ever with “her superiors; she
grew to be a. source of substantial mon-
ey revenue to the convent. A brilliant
musician, an accomplished artist, pos-
sessing a neat little wit of her own,
Sister Baudoin became something the
rage among the pious matrons of Otta-
wa, and 'quite the idol of the pupils the
matrons sent her.

But in the meantime something was
happening to Sister Bonsecours. It
dated from the day when a handsome
young physician called at the convent
with his sister to see a friend. It was
observed by the lynx-eyed sisters that
the physician had occasion for a num-
ber of days after his visit to go by the
convent very frequently, and further-
more in connection with this fact a
coincidence was observed. This was
that when-ever the physician was pass:
ing Sister Bonsecours was always play-
ing the piano with a verve and dash
which was remarkable even in her,
brilliant musician as she was.

Of course the Gray Nuns were scan-
dalized at this.

Then came entreaties, threats, ap-
peals to the bishop. But it was all in
vain until the aid of Sister Bonse-
caurs’s father, Baudoin, was called in.
Baudoin in substance pronounced sen-
tence of parental excommunication up-
on his daughter unless she renounced
1er profane purposes.

Poor Sister Bonsecours had braved
had
endured all the humiliation and dis-
gusting penances that were heaped up-
on her without once shrinking in her
resolution. But under the paternal
wrath all her fine spirit gave way. She

continued in the convent, dragging out

an unhappy, wearisome life until liber-
ty at last came with the death of her
father. Then she shed the gray gown
forever and fluttered away like a bird
out of a cage.

In Montreal she began giving music
iessons, until by the strangest of
strange chances that handsome physi-
Iian reappeared upon the scene. And—
well, they were married, and have
been living happy ever afterwards.—

MQNEY IN MARRYING‘RAILROAD MEN
One Woman Received Nearly $10,000 for
the Loss of Three Husbands.

Marriage is not a failure in the ex-
perience of a woman living at Ben-
wood Junction. Her three husbands
all worked for the B. and O. and be-
longed to railroad brotherhoods, and
hence were entitled to death benefits
and insurance when they were succes-
sively killed on the rail. The first was
a. conductor, who died some years
back, and his widow received $4,500
from the company and the Order of
Railway Conductors. The next was
an engineer, and he in turn was killed,
$2,500 following the event. Again it

was an engineer, and the death benefit

Was this time also $2,500. It is safe
to say that the Widow’s next sporse,
if the proverbial superstition among
railroaders does not defeat her good
intentions, will also be a railroad man.

 

How Bees Embalm.

Bees, Says “Horbis,” can embalm as
successfully as could the ancient
Egyptians. It often happens in damp
weather that a. sing or snail will enter
a. beehive. This is, of course, to the
unprotected slug 3. case of sudden
death. The bees fall upon him and
sting him to death at once. But what
to do with the carcass becomes a vital
question. If left where it is it will
breed a. regular pestilence. Now
comes in the cleverness of the insects.
They set to work and cover it with
wax, and there you may see it lying
embalmed just as the nations of old
embalmed their dead. When it is a
snail that is the intruder, he is, of
course, impenetrable to their sting; so
they calmly cement his shell with wax
to the bottom of the hive. Imprison-
ment for life, with no hope of pardon!
—Golden Days.

 

Tree with a Distinction.

The stump of the tree to which Isra-
el Putnam was once tied in the French
and Indian war isstill standing in
the little village of Crown Point, a.
town in the upper part of New York.

It was in the course of a skirmish
near Wood Creek, at the time of the
French invasion in August, 1758, that
he was captured by't-he Indians and
tied to this tree.

While the flames were searing his
flesh he was saved by Captain Molang,
1. French oflicer, Captain Molang, who
rushed through the crowd, scattered
the firebrands, cuffed and upbraided
the Indians and released their victim.
Putnam was taken to Montreal and

.APPLE CORES FOR CHAMPAGNE.

l‘he Parlng and Cores Dried and Shipped
to France.

The practice of the economies in the
fruit-raising sections of the west has
developed a new article of export. Un—
til recently the orchard owners and the
evaporator managers did not think of
utilizing the cores and the parings of
apples. They occasionally sold them
to the jelly-makersor fed'them to the
hogs, but more. generally allowed them
to accumulate as refuse in great heaps,
which slowly fermented and decayed.
This year, in many places, the parings
and the cores are being saved. They
are spread out in the hot sun and
dried, after which they are packed in
large sacks and held for buyers, who
gather them up and send away in car
lots. The destination of the dried par-
lugs and cores in these large quanti-
ties is France. It isno secret that the
refuse of the orchards of the Missouri
valley and the Ozark country is now
largely employed in the manufacture
of champagne by the thrifty wine-
makers of the vineclad slopes of
France—St. Louis Globe Democrat.

 

SCARED THREE MONTHS LATER.

A Curious Incident of Where the Fright
was Postponed.

Cortland Cramp, son of the famous
shipbuilder, was at sea some years ago.
During a frightful storm he was swept
overboard. He‘ kept his nerve. He
was perfectly calm, and reCalled that
people who were washed overboard by
me wave were sometimes washed back
by another. Presently his hand touchs
ed a rope. He grasped it firmly and
held on until the captain of the vessel,
seeing the rope dragging in the water,
pulled it in, and pulled Mr. Cramp on
board‘with it. Mr. Cramp was none
the worse for his experience, but one
day, quite three months afterward,
when he was on land, a. realization of

:he danger he had been in came over-2

him' suddenly, and his knees fairly
knocked together with fear. .He was
in a perfect panic from fright, and to
this day, whenever he goes into the
surf, the recollection of his dreadful
experience always returns to him, and

1e never ventures into deep water. _..
