row, Fran Mueller, but you are too
old to work at all, I'll get the work
and take care Of you" and SO Jamsey
started. r.u g.
He tried one restaurant, and tho
proprietor, with an oath, said he didn't
want any children around. Get
out!" .
He tried another, and there was no
vacancy. He answered ~ or 10 adj.
vertisement1 but received no reply
He then secured employmentin Bow
cry restaurant, where on the third day
he was brutally beaten by a waiter
whom he detected robbing the owner.
He was plucky boy and was not
disheartened. 1t was very hard, how.
ever, and it became doubly hard when
Mrs. Mueller one morning could not
get up, and the doctor said she would
have to remain in bed for many
weeks.
The new burden acted as stimulaut
upon the boy. He was up early in the
morning and made the breakfast and
cleaned up the rooms. He then ar
ranged medicines and q cold luncheon
on the table alongside of the bed and
then went up into the street to look
for employment. An entiIe month
passed, and then inspired by h,ppy
thought he presented himself one
morning before the proprietor Of one
of the great restaurants of the city.
The proprietor said: "I'm afraid
you're too young, my son, but you
might go down stairs and see the head
chef. He attends to that part of the
business" Jamsey was encouraged
by the manner if not the matter Of the
speech and went to the great kitchen
beneath the dining hall. The chef
had just come in, a handsome, black
rosy. checked Alsatian, who
looked at the boy and said: "Well,
what is it?"
Jamsey sa' d; "I'd like to be cook
here, SIR"
The chef smiled and said in his own
language: "What dear little fellow"
then in English, "Can you COOKE"
Happily for Jamsey he responded
in French, 81 think / can cook as
we'll as most men, sir. I'd like to
have you try me-"
His native tongue aroused the chefs
interest. He said, ''You speak my
language"
yes" said Jamsoy, 81 speak some
French"
!, I'D" 81 you speak Gergan'" asked the
eyes" said Jamsey.
"Can you cook in French and Ger
man styles?"
Yes" said Jamsey, proudly.
"Well, you are a brave boy, and I'll
try you, anyhow. You go over there
to that stove and cook me some lamb
chops in some French way and also in
some German way, and ii they are
all right I'll engage you"
Jamsey went to work in hurry.
The other cooks looked on amused by
the boys enthusiasm. He picked
out German sauce which he had
learned from Fran Mueller and inn
proved upon himself. For the other
dish lie made special sauce which
the cooking professor had taught him.
They were about finished, and he
b ld raised the saucepan containing
)ne, when clumsy scullion going
past, either by accident or through
ran against him, and the
of one saucepan went into
the Other.
1t had no more than happened when
the chef =, appearcd from some other
part OF the great establishment below
stairs. He walked over to where the
'peechless boy stood and said:
"Hallo, that's handsome sauce. L
lon't remember ever having seen it,"
He took the large spoon which was in
t and stirred it, The stirring gave
inish to the mixture, which made it |
'ery attl active to the eye. 1t was of |

aised the spoon and tasted it,smacked
lis lips and said;
"My son, that is the best sauce I
lave tasted in ten years. You can

work now, and am very glad to get

The sauce has been made many hun
lred times in that restaurant since
hen and is as popular as ever.
