"But kin we cook fur ship company?'
"We could cook an feed any thing from
a threshin machine to whole fotilly, my
girl. This run is old an Pierre Dupers
have moved thar and if you want to see
Tony now's your chance"
That settled it., Jenny and Tony had
been old chums. They had cooked to-
gether in restaurant in st. Louis before
either were married. Then when Tony,
with her merry heart and pretty ways
had captivated a Frenchman and married
him, the other Creole girl was lonely, and
as she said, there was nothing for her to
do but to take Jim, the steamboat clerk.
"But," said Jenny, Il ort to take Tony
something from home an haint thing
aboard. say Jim I'll take her bag O.
that flower. I'll ask the Capin. You
know Tony an me used to play around
that same MILL
And thus it happened that bag of the
xxx highest patent -four found its way
as special gift into the kitchen of Tony
Duper. We would have followed them
through their warm welcome by Pierre
and Tony, and Tony's extravaganza de-
light over the bag of -four, but as Jim
said "We haint to talk United States any
more"
"No," assented Jenny, "ot course we'll
speak French" =
"FrenchP' said Jim with good natured
contempt. "You say we oai for yes and
rest yer mouth by giving us no more
through yer nose, but hits no French. Yer
Partisan would tell yer hits a vulgar
1atois from the States, he would"
ave all kin understand each other any
wry." said Jenny.
"When yer make signs enuf. You an
Tony allus made fingers an faces enuff to
run a deef an dunn shop any way" re-
piled Jim. He was fond of teasing them
about their gestures which seem to 60 so
naturally with the French language.
Tony had graduated from her old time
occupation and she now had a French
cook to wait upon her.
And such oookl Wouldn't you like
to serve an apprenticeship, Of few
months to her? Lizette was truly a
wonderful cook. So tidy, with her short
frock, white cap and apron, SO economi-
cal. She would have kept family on
what the American cook throws away.
Her dishes were marvels of skill. Yes,
Lizette was an artist in her work, and
Tony stood just little bit in awe Of her.
So when the -four was taken in Tony
made no suggestions ss to its use but
simply told Lizette its story.
And Lixette in her mind resolved that
those foreigners should, for once, learn
the capabilities of their own -four, 80 pre-
pared to start some bread immediately.
Tony, with her company. had been
gone about three hours to SEQ the city
when Lizette saw q shining little jewel
on the floor where she had stood while
telling the story of the -four. She picked
it up. TWAS an smulet. One that Tony
had for years worn on q slender gold
chain around her neck On one Gde
were two hearts run threagh with .
