If you will become my wife-oh. mon Dieu,
mon Dieur' he cried, wringing his hands.
"Why must be sightless at such a moment
as this?''
Miss Clitheroe said not word. She was
standing in the middle of the room with the
little silver-plated pistol In her hand, playing
gently with the barrels, which she made re-
volve with her daintily gloved fingers. Her
face was rather pale, but there was smile on
her lips as she watched the mans gestures
and listened to his words.
She said nothing, but waved the lace hand
kerchief that she held in her hand before his
face.
He moved back pace and put his hand to
his head as II trying to remember something
long forgotten. A deep silence ensued,
broken only by the tiny click of the revolving
barrels.
''Why do you not speak?" he cried at last,
with some impatience and irritation in his
voice. 81 beg you to say something"
Miss Clitheroe then advanced step, made
mock courtesy, and, in her natural voice,
but with some mimicry In the accent, said very
slowly:
"Richard, mon ami, je ne et'adore pas, mais
pas de tout
"a thousand thunders," cried verneuill,
starting forward and tearing the bandages
from his eyes. "AliceT'
He was hideous to look at with his eyes
red and infamed as he stood blinking at her,
under the effect OF the one candle that
lighted the rooms She, on the other hand,
was charming, in spite OF the mocking look
upon her face.
ut is she. 1t is she. Oh, my eyes, my
eyesl Oh, my Alice" he cried moving
toward her.
Then backing toward the door. she said:
"Richard, mon ami, je ne t'adore pas"
She opened the door and went ont. mo-
menf later she put her head in again and said
very sweetly, still mimicking the English ac-
cent:

least did fairly well pass muster in the world

wherein he lived.
Just a few days before the call of the
American lady interviewer he had had an
encounter with a former colleague, who had
assaulted him amid the frantic applause of
the Extreme Left as he came down the steps
of the tribune, on which he had been de-
nouncing IN no measured terms "the
intrigues of those who have no deerer wish
than to impede the onward march Of the
great republic" This time the encounter
had not come off to his advantage. He had
received from his opponent, to use the Ian
guage OF the proces-verbal, "a thrust inter-
secting the left angle of the right eye," which
nearly blinded him. Inflammation of both
eyes had set in, and at one time 1t was feared
by the doctor and his valet de chambre that
the Deputy Verneuil would never be able to
look upon the festivities of the Moulin
Rouge again. As it was, he was condemned
to remain, with both eyes bandaged, in
darkened room. 1t was horribly dull, for no.
body came near him. His treachery was Of
too recent date to have been forgotten. even
by those in whose favor it had been accom-
plished, and of personal friends Horace Yer
neuil had very few.
He was therefore rather pleased than
otherwise at the visit which Jules had an
nounced to him. In the first place chat
with pretty woman. even if he could not see
her face and form. would be pleasant change
from the gloomy monotony of his present life,
it pleased him to hear that his personality
was of interest to the public of America. 1t
was therefore from mere affectation that he
had pretended to hesitate when Miss Clith-
eroe's card had been brought in.
This is the lady that has come to see Mon
sieur le Deputie," said Jules, returning and
ushering in the visitor. The deputy rose
from his chair and bowed in the direction of
the voice.
Madame will excuse me- he said, in his
seftest tones, 81 am an invalid"
Jules was right Miss Clitheroe was GER
tainly very charming person, the very re-
verse of the awful type which is conjured up
by the words ian American Newspaper
woman" She was petite and blonde, with
magnificent hair and eyes, and her features
though womanly. betokened vim and energy,
which brought into relief the delightful femi-
ninity OF her figure. She was smartly dressed
in black trimmed with fur, and wore on her
head a dainty little toque, which certainly
came from one of the big milliners In the Rue
de la Paix. She was SO years old and con-
fessed it, though she did not look it. Seen in
the dimly lighted room she might easily have
been taken for a girl OF 19.
"Place chair for Madame" ordered the
deputy, resuming his seat and assuming as
dignified an attitude as circumstances would
allow. Jules obeyed with alacrity. She was
such a charming little womanl 1t could not
be denied that Monsieur's good fortune was
amazing.
1t was Miss Clitheroe who spoke first after
the valet had retired.
II am sorry to disturb you at such time"
she said, ''but am acting on urgent orders
received from the London Office Of our paper.
In short, have come to interview you. You

very dark with blueing If starch is required,
use cornstarch, and instead of water use coffee
freed from every suspicion of grounds. Boil
the starch well; if you will use gum-arabic in
stead of cornstarch and dilute it with the
coffee you will obtain even better results.
Iron on the wrong side with hot iron. Never
undertake to wash dark cottons except on a
clear, warm day, when you can get the fabric
dried in few moments. Much depends on
the drying, and things that will come from

of an inclement day.

An East Indian Dish.

For those who like the pungent curry,
there is a dish of eggs rIndienne where you
put teaspoonful of curry powder to a fried
onion. First chop the onion fine, fry it a
pretty brown in q tablespoonful of butter, stir
in the curry powder and set to keep warm.
Beat six eggs smooth, add four tablespoonfuls
of cream and pour into the pan where you
have melted three or four tablespoonfuls OF
butter; add the onions and curry. Stir until
as thick as batter scraping all the time from
the bottom of the pan. Take off the fire be-
fore it hardens too much, and stir minute
longer. Serve very hot on toast and with a
dish of boiled rice. You will feel that you
have partaken of sumptuous luncheon.

"what was her name?" asked Miss Clith.


''Alice"-he pronounced it "Alees"-"Alice
Millington, Alees MilaDgtong." Here he
laughed hastily. "Oh, the idyll of my youth
oh, the life led between that old vixen of q
mother-in-law and that prudish iceberg, that
canting. formal Alees! All, it was there and
then that 1 learned what English hypocrisy
means. 1t was then that got to understand

'Was she pretty, at least?' asked Miss
Clitheroe. with some show of sympathy.

Pretty? As fiat as q match, and pale.

must have captured me with her sentiment

in mans life when he is susceptible to that
sort of thing. She used to say to me in
French, Richard, mong ayemy, jai tadore,
and roll her eyes up at me. and I thouGht it
the sweetest thing had ever seen or heard.
That was before my famous marriage. After
ward it was quite another tune. l couldn't
stay out a night without hearing the most
fearful reproaches. All, yes, my marriage.
Let US talk about it. 1 stood it as long as
could, but the time came when I remembered
my duty to my mother, my poor mother,
whom had disregarded. A mans heart al
ways will turn to his mother again sooner or
later, you know. And I thought Of the pain
must be causing her"
"Like a good son." said Miss Clitheroe.
"As you say" said the deputy, rising from
his chair and leaning against the mantel-
piece. Thought of the mother whose heart
was breaking, and returned to her, like the
prodigal son. Ha, ha, hav'

"It was also said," continued the lady, ris-
ing from her chair, THAT you were thinking
of marrying again"
"why 'again? That is not the word. since
never was legally married. As matter C.
fact, have never thought Of such thing.
1t is very difficult for an ambitious man, for
a man who means, guand meme, to make his
way, to find a suitable companion. Most
women are only drags. Tho women who

and turned his face toward her.

Hints for the Home

Keeping a pan of water in the oven will
prevent fowl from scorching.
1t is best to save all egg shells to settle
coffee.
Liniments and ointments should always be
applied to the patient with the hand; if applied
with cotton or a cloth the good effect obtained
from the friction would be lost

Dark-COIored Cottous.

Da-k-colored cottons should be washed very
carefully to obtain the best results. The
water should be warm, but not hot, and should
be prepared expressly for the purpose, moth
ing else having been washed in it. Cottons,
if white, leave lint, which gathers on dark
fabrics. Soap bark is better than soap, and
in any event should be put into the water and
never applied directly to the fabric. 1t should
