A certain family whose homo is i'll

employ a cook whose ways are invari-
ably SO methodical and her cooking so
near perfection that were she to leave
her present home, one-half of the mis-
tresses i'll the district would be eager to
secure her services. Never by any chance
has dinner been late at Myrtle Villa, or
the joiut under or over done, neither has
any policeman crossed its threshold.
But, treasure that she is, she came near
to making change of residence at the
close of her very first months stay.
On the morning of the day upon which
her wages became due her mistress re-
quested her to step into the study where
her master was waiting to pay her. In
q few moments she rushed from the
study to the kitchen, where she had
left her mistress, and in less time than
it takes to narrate had given that aston
ished lady notice.
"But whatever is the matter, Nary"
inquired her mistress. "What has your
master said or done to annoy you?"

Dong worried and worried over that
small sum of 100 tacls and lost flesh by
thinking SO much and dreaming so
often OF the cleaning, treacherous taels.
At length he was reduced to that
c.nd:tion of despair in which our story
first finds him.
He sat in that chair immovable and
alone He had sent his pupils home that
morning for their long vacation.
Thoughts unwelcome and bitter as nut
gall passed in procession before his
mental vision, and, like Banquo's reit-
Grated ghost, would not down.
''No," he cried wildly, as if he had
debated the matter in his mind and had
reached a final conclusion, "there is
nothing left me but deathp'
Absorbed as Dong was in melancholy
reflections and imagining himself al
ready cold corpse dangling under the
branches of some tree, he did not per-
ceive the approach of little boy until
the latter stood beside him and startled
him by saying in d timid voice:
''Teacher, father sent me to ask you
to come to our house.
Dong raised his head and saw one of
his pupils before him.
"What is it you want?'
MY father sends his respects and asks
you to favor him with call. My oldest
brother came back this morning from
America. He brought home lots of
funny things. If you come, he will
show them to you.
Glad of this little relief, Dong accom-.
panied the boy to the latter's house and
there received most hearty welcome.
The big brother displayed his treasures
and enjoyed Dong's curiosity and Won
der as he explained the uses and the
modus opcrandi of every article to him.
There were a sc wing machine, pair of
opera glasses, a contrivance for making
hash out of every kind of meat under
the sun, stereoscope, a microscope and
a hundred other things besides, that
stamp the Yankee as the most ingenious
person in all the world But nothing as
tonished Dong so much as the little
electric machine which sent thrill

mosquito curtain. He grew as white as
the best grade of four. The sculptor of
the LAGOON could not have desired a
more horritied and agonized expression
of countenance than the one Ju Dun ex-
hibited for model.
"Unless," continued the mysterious
voice., you tear up the note which this
young man gave you, give him your
daughter in marriage inside of a month
with suitable dowry and mend your
grasping, blood sucking ways"
These words were enforced with a
few more volts of electricity.
II promise! promise! Let me 60,
and l will tear up the note and do
everything you command.
The current was broken off at this
juncture His hands now being free, Ju

ments with the other Then turning to
Dong, who had been watching the exc
cution of his scheme in state of mind
vacillating between hope and fear, he
bade him come to his house OH the NOR

greeted his ears.
Then Home, Sweet Home, Annie

Art So Near and Yet So Far" and
"What Is Home Without Mother-in-

Dong of course could not appreciate
them any more than a cat, but the
weirdness of the sounds fascinated him.
When the concert was ended, he had
many questions to ask. The returned
traveller kindly showed him everything
pertaining to the wonderful machine,
told him to talk to it himself and excit-
ed his wonder still more by making the
phonograph repeat Dong's own words.
Suddenly thought struck him so
hard that he jumped up like one pcs
sessed, nearly upsetting the machine
and the big brothers. gravity, yelling at
the same time:

Explain yourself, said the returned
traveller. This Dong did, after taking
him aside, by recounting all his troubles
from beginning to end, closing with an
appeal for aid to defeat the wicked plan
of Ju Dun. 1t was arranged and agreed

Treating n Dislocation With Pulley and
Steam Engine.
Probably as queer u piece of back
woods surgery as has been described
says a frequenter of the region, "was
that performed by a Moosehead lake
guide known as old Sabattus 20 years
ago. The man was not all Indian, as the
nickname implies, but Yankee, one of
those rough fellows formerly character
istic Of that locality This guide was
left Oh a lake steamboat at one of the
far up landings while the engineer went
ashore with the company. A man named
Meservey came aboard and in fooling
around the boat managed to tumble
down into the fire pit and put his shoul
der out of joint
"Here was dilemma. The other
members of the party would not be back
for half an hour, and the injured man
was in great pain. The guide was a man
of expedients. He got rope and tied
his patient securely to post. Then he
tied another one around the man s wrist
and hitched the loose end of it to pull
ley of the engine. He managed some
how to turn on steam, and the pulley
began to wind up the rope. 1t drew the
arm out tight in beautiful shape and
presently the joint snapped back into
its socket. Then Sabattus jumped
around to shut off steam while the pull
ley kept Oh winding. Holy Moses,
gasped the guide excitedly, how does
it 60? 1 don't know where it is. can't
stop the blanked thing And the pulley
meanwhile was slowly but surely pull
ing Meservey to pieces. His eyes Were
sticking out of their sockets, and he
screamed and gasped for breath.
"Sabattus danced around like wild
man, not knowing what to do, when he
happened to spy hatchet lying near,
and, jumping for that, he cut the rope
and saved dreadful catastrophe. This
was done just as the party of city folks
who had gone ashore came rushing back
ON to the boat alarmed at Meservey's
screams. 1t was some years afterwara,
says the narrator ''that [ was present
when a lot of summer company arrived
at Greenville. Sabattus was there, too,
and presently a distinguished looking
man, one of the newcomers, went up 10
him and said with a meaning smile,
Are not you the man that practices
surgery by steam?' and Sabattus had to
admit that he was that same feller.'"
