happens TO us.
Jamsey said; ''I start out tomor-
row, Frau Mueller, but You are too
old to work at all, I'll get the work
and take care Of you" and 80 Jamsey
started.
He tricd one restaurant, and tho
proprietor, with an oath, said he didn't
want any children around. Get
outw
He tried another, and there was no
vacancy. He answered IL or 10 adj
vertisement., but received no reply.
He then secured employment in Bow
cry restaurant, where on the third day
he was brutally beaten by q waiter
whom he detected robbing the owner.
He was q plucky boy and was not
disheartened Ii 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 n stimulnut
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 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 il not the matter of the
speech and went to the great kitchen
beneath the dining hall. The chef
had just come in, handsome, black
mustached, rosy.cheeked Alsatian, who
looked at the boy and said: "Well,
what is it,"
Jamsey sad: "Td like to be cook
here, sir. :"
The chef smiled and said in his own
language: "What dear little fellow"
then in English, Can you cook?"
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 Jamsey, 'I speak some
French"
"po you speak Gernanf" asked the
eyes" said Jamsey
"Can you cook in French and Ger
man styles?'
yes" said Jamsey, proudly.
"Well, you are 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
oil right I'll engage you"
Jamsey went 10 work in hurry.
The other cooks looked on amused by
the boys enthusiasm. He picked
out q German sauce which he had
learned from Frau 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
h al raised the saucepan containing
one, when clumsy scullion going
past, either by accident or through
mischief, ran against him, and the
contents Of one saucepan went into
the other.
1t had no more than happened when
the chef reappeared from some other
part of the great establishment below
stairs. He walked over to where the
speechless boy stood and said:
Halo, that's handsome sauce. L
don't remember ever having seen it. "
He took the large spoon which was in
it and stirred it, The stirring gave q
finish TO the mixture, which made IL
very attractive to the eye. 1t was Of
a rich green, with wonderful per-
fume and smooth, velvety exterior
that was very appetizing. The chef
raised the spoon and tasted it,smacked
his lips and said:
"My son, that is the best sauce I
have tasted in ten years. You can
put on your cap and apron and go to
work now, and am very glad to get
so promising an assistant in my
kitchen"
The sauce has been made many hun
dred times in that restaurant since
then and is as popular as ever.
Jamsey has risen to be the second
in command and is locke TO by all
the other employees of the house, and
Frau Mueller has left Rivngton street
