vANDERBILT'S KITCHEN.
Where a &c. 900 Chef Prepares Food II
Silver. Lined Cooking Utensils

| Where a $4,000 Chef Prepares Food In
silver-Lined Cooking Utensils
Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt,s chef has had
such renown that the temple in which
he moves and the altar at which he
Offfciates must be of interest. Both
are worth his cost to import and worthy
his talents. Mr.. Vanderbilt's kitchen
is really very beautiful to the eye. The
purity of marble, the luster of tiles
and the CLEAN OF metal are what one
sees. The floor is of marble. the
shelves, the tables, the sinks, all the
things that are rarely moved are Of
marble and cut with the precision of
jewels. The walls are lined with
cream enameled tiles and all the angles
are covered with brass mouldings.
Where these meet the doors and win
dows they are covered with these metal
holdings, dispensing even with wood
en- trim. The ceiling is made of white
enameled tiles set in cement. But one
does not imperil the head of a $40, 600
cook with a loosely-set brick, so each
tile is also secured with raised metal
bolts.
Accounting all this CLEAN OF white
and metal is the large double range.
1t is set in one corner under a large
semicircular hood enriched with en-
bossed copper ornaments and swung
from iron bars wrought in spirals and
foliations. This hood is so powerful
an agent in carrying off the odor and
greasy steam that it will watt from
the hand a newspaper held under it.
The coking utensils are in keeping
with all this splendor They are of
copper with wrought-iron handles.
many of them ornamented. and some
OF them have been copied from special
pieces in the Cluny and other mu-
seums. Luxurious cooking utensils are
indeed the thing of the moment, and a
wedding present not disdained is
set of copper silver-lined, such
as are now displayed among gems
and gold at the jewelers..
Leading from the kitchen to
the buffers pantry are spiral stairs
entirely inclosed in glass to shut out
possible odor, yet retain the light.
And this is so successfully done that,
although the kitchen is directly below
the dining-room and buffers pantry,
nothing disagreeable makes its way
aloft.
Before referring to another attach
ment of this kitchen. allusion should
be made to the drains and hose outlet
in the center of the marble floor, for 1t
is by hose which may play fearlessiy
in any part of the room that the
kitchen is kept clean. Connected with
the kitchen, and built under the side
walk. is a series of vaults. These are
for ice. meat, vegetables. milk and
eggs. and are built in three sections of
hollow masonry, that they may be
kept free from damp. and have perfect
ventilation. The heavier articles.
such as ice and meat. are put in
through the sidewalk with derrick and
hoist, which relieves the kitchen Of q
good deal of unpleasantness, as every
may imaRine.-N Y. Let.

THE WIDOWS DEFIANCE.
| All the evil passions of Captain Star

ment. Both men had made mistake. Fin
gal in accusing the Captain of murder and
| the latter in resenting the accusation as he
did. Conscious guilt, however, made the

In vain Fingal struggled under the ter

in the hands Of giant He could not even
cry out for help, and had not a third person
appeared on the scene at that moment the
angry Captain might have perpetrated MUIR

AS Fingal was sinking down helplessly
door opened aud some one appeared on
the veranda man who, taking in the sit
uation at a glance, sprang at once to the
his victim. When Starbright faced about
he found himself confronted by Austin
Wentword, the Stonetield mechanic.
The two had not come in contact in many
weeks, not since the scene in the grove
where they collided with what would have
been fatal results but for the interference
of Louis Flngal, who, as it will be remem-
bered, saved the Captains life at that time
To-day the mechanic had met Grace PEN
roy and reconciliation had taken place, all
OF which had been brought about through
the good offices of the young hunter and
Lura Joyce. The latter, however, had alb
sented herself from Lone Hollow since her
narrow escape from death at the hands of
Captain Starbright.
/" Did you mean to murder the boy?" de-
manded Wentword, sternly, as he faced
the Captain.
"He insulted me. meant to punish him
for insolence.'
Fingal, looking pale and weak, leaned
against post and regarded the two men
without speaking.
You are miserable coward" declared
the indignant Tentword. 81 have a notion
to thrash you blind.''
II think you had better let the job out"
sneered Starbright, as he laid his hand on
the butt of revolver that protruGed from
his hip pocket.
This movement was observed by Fingal,
who cried:
Draw weapon, Captain, and it will be
worse for you.''
Then the rattle Of wheels fell on the ears
of all. A carriage halted in front of the
