Origin Of the Cocktail.

1t is asserted that certain Col Car.
tdr, not Of Cartersvllie. but cf Culpcp-
per Court House, Va. belongs the hon.
or Of inventing the cocktail, and this is
how 1t all happened: Near Culpepper
Court House there used to stand an
old inn, built to initiate the famous
roadhouses Of England, and bearing
the storied sign OF Cock and Bottle"
The former word In the old vernacular,
stood for the tap. The point is that
the man who got the last drink and the
muddy portion Of the tap, was said to
have received the cocktail" Col.
Carter was once subjected to this Ia
dignity, and threw the stuff upon the
floor. "Heahaftah," he said, ''l'll drink
cocktails OF ma own concoction, sah."
And, starting to "clean out the shop"
he dashed together bitters, sugar, bits
Of lemon peel and Holland gin. Great
oaks from little acorns grow, and this
was the genesis Of the cocktail.

Hetherington's draft had taken a
weight off his mind. as he had an ap-
pointment that evening with an in
dividual whose tastes were expensive
like his own.
His business during the day does not
concern us. but when it was evening,
and the lights were lit. the cafes
thronged. the footpaths full of people
coming and going. he reappeared in
the center of the city. Lighting a ci-
gar, he strolled up and down; paused
at kiosk and bought a newspaper;
then, approaching the front of one of
the great cafes, found a vacant seat at
a table. ordered some coffee, and sat
down In the open air watching tho
busy throng.
He was sitting thus when his atten-
tention was attracted to figure stand

"Brawly, brawly. Where are you

Caussidiere did not catch the reply,
and the two men moved away with
the crowd; but he had recognized, at a
glance. in the younger of the inter-
locutors, an old friend-John Suther-
land.
"Diable!" he muttered. What has
brought him to Paris? I must take
care that he and Marjorie do not
meet"
He rose. paid for his refreshment.
and walked away. 1t was now 8
o'clock. Hailing a fiacre, he jumped
in. and ordered the coachman to
drive to the theater du Chatelet.
Alighting at the door, Caussidiere
strolled into the vestibule, and paid for
a seat in one Of the balcony boxes. He
found the vast place thronged from
