A batch OF BISCUITS.


0ONE. what n picture exclaimed
oll young Fairleigh. his eyes kindlng.
- Il never thought that Elsie was so
pretty-neverw
Elsie, busy at the table in the kitchen
of the apartment house was quite un-
aware that she was being observed.
How could she know there was anyone
In that long vacant house next door?
Indeed, it was mere chance which had
brought Robert Fairleigh to that sec
ond-story hall window, from which he
looked across and down at Elsie. The
firm of which he was member had
been given Instructions by the owner
as to the papering and decorating of
this particular house, and Fairleigh,
knowing that he was invited next door
to supper, had put the key of the va
cant house in his pocket and gone out
early In the afternoon that he might
make calculations and estimates before
it was time for him to keep his engage
ment.
80, she is harmless little creature"

apropos of her cousin Elsie. "An or
phan, whom we keep out of charity.
She is quite a burden in way being
so idle and Incapable. When we are
without maid, as occasionally hap
pens, all the hardship Of the kitchen
falls on my shoulders. Elsie is the
drone of this hive"
And straightway Fairleigh, who had
an old-fashioned feeling that the do
mestic woman was the kind he wanted
for wife, ignored, except In so far as
courtesy went, the existence of helittle
cousin, and devoted himself to Isabel,
who, If past her youth, was still an i'm
posing and stately young woman.

dashed upon him as he stood and stared
at the round young form in the blue
gingham gown. How brisk she was,
and how busy! Fitting back and forth
between table and pantry, carrying va
rious articles, flour and butter, and
baking powder, and mixing pan. Then
she was rolling up her sleeves from
round, milk-white arms, and tying on
large snowy apron, and washing her
hands at the sink. He could see how
rosy the cold water made them, and
then how she did attack the task before
her With the deftness and rapidity
which evidenced practice and skill she
chopped and stirred, and rolled and cut,
and laid the little round disks in even
rows on the buttered pans. And then
she opened the oven door and put her
hand In to try the temperature, and
nodded as If satisfied, and came back
to the table with her soft cheeks ever
so slightly flushed, and few loose gold
tendrllls finding their way from under
the dainty white lawn cap she wore.
And, as she went back and forth with
her biscuits, and began to clean and put
away the utensils she had used, she
began to sing. The window near the
table was open. Fairleigh could hear
the lifting lines
My love is like red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June,
My love is like melody
That's sweetly played in tune
A high, raspng voice cut the song
short.
"Well, have you the chicken salad
made? And did you frost the cake?
The biscuits are in? Then, do make
haste, and set the table. | can't for
the life Of me see what makes you so
poky. Mr.. Fairleigh will be here be-
fore you get everything done. Now,
mind, don't want you coming to sup
per- You can wait on table, He won't
notice you, anyhow"
Then Miss Burns, who had evidently
been taking a nap, judging by her
tousled hair, and loking suddenly and
singularly divested of her statellness in
the loose and shapeless wrapper of soil
cd light-blue cashmere she wore,
yawned and took herself away.
Elsie stood minute tense and still.

dignant pain at his heart that the flush
had gone, leaving her looking white,
and that she sang no more.
1t was with much effusion that Miss
Burns received her caller. She had
been hoping he would come earlier. AL
though, indeed, she could hardly have
given him much of her time had he
done so. They We're without a maid,
and she had been compelled to prepare
supper. Not that she really disliked
cooking, as so many women averred
they did. She had studied the science,
beliering it to be more essential to the
making and the maintenance of a hap
py home than knowledge of language.
To be sure, tonight they had asked him
only to their ordinary family supper.
dining early In the day. She was sure
he would make allowances.
Certainly. They were good to let him
come informally. And all the time he
was wondering at the transformation
well brushed hair and properly fitting
gown had effected in the unattractive
person who had instructed Elsie. Elsie,
minus her cooking cap, and wearing a
soft little lawn gown, came and went
serving them. Just at first Elsie had
given Fairleigh distant bow, but al
though she quickly glanced away she
had seen new look in his eyes-a look
of questioning admiration that brought
the roses blossoming out on her cheeks.
Once, during Elsie's absence from the
rOom, Isabel made some laughing apol-
ogy for having Elsie wait on table.
But whenever l have cooked the
supper-What? A delicious supper! o,
I'm so glad you like 1t. l was saying

it is only fair Elsie should wait at table.
Have another biscuit, Mr.. Fairlelgh, If
only to fatter me! Yes, l am trifie
proud of my biscuitsv'
The elder people were talking togeth-
er and paid no attention, but Fairleigh,
looking up at that instant, saw the
sic, another plate Of golden-brown bis
cults in her hand, stood there. HeI
eyes met those of Fairleigh full. A
| flashing look passed between them. She
had heard then! Whether it was the
speech, or Bob Fairleigh's amused and
radiant glance OF intelligence that dis
turbed her, Elsie did not know, but al
| that moment the door swinging shut
sent the plate dashlng from her hand
| Falrleigh sprang to her assistance
where she stood dumb with embarrass

the recovered biscuits and the shattered
plate, he handed them to her with thu

How London Could Be Defended

How London COuIu Be DeIenueu.
If the Dutch ever sail up the Thames
again, or Norman force land, London
will not be unprepared. In the archives
of Pail Mall repose musty schemes for
the defense of the metropolis which it
was thought would be undisturbed un-
til the War Department commenced to
move into its new palace. But there
are busy men about and as a result
new schemes will be Forthcoming for
the defense of London. Something
like sixty batteries of artillery will be
allotted for the defense, including guns
of heavy callber, Al and 6 inches,
which will be mounted In commanding
positions, covering a wide, sweeping
are. The mobile force for defense will
include nearly 100 15-pounder field
guns, and an army corps of three di-
visions of regular infantry and 100000
voluntcers.-London Express.

NATIVES DIsPLEAsED.
Opposed to Americans Presiding Over
 TheiP Courts.

Manila, May M.-The discontent among the natives at the appointment of Amer ican judges and alleged determinations In the civil service in favor of Americans is finding expressions encouraged by some of the native judges, who are aware that the reorganization of the judiciary will result in the loss of their positions.
 Judge Neer of the Court of First In- stance of Tondo. one of the leaders of what is beginning to be called the rad ical wing of the Federalists, declared to- day that if such things continue there will be second revolution. Some of the prominent Federalists ridicule. the pre- diction.
 The Philippine commission selections of judges were thoroughly considered. 1t is undeniable that most of the native judges lack the competence required. One of them has been removed for malfeas- ance and others are suspected of irreg- ularities. The classifications of the civil service avoid discriminations. but na- tive and Spanish qualifications are em- ploying natives at the risk of temporary inconvenience.

Lexington Track Gossip.

Rumor and gossip are rife about the marvellous speed prospects qaartered and trained at the famous Lexington race course, and the time is rapidly approach ing when they will be asked by the ex- acting critics and the merciless ticking of the watch to verify the fattering re- ports. Veteran trainers are quoted as saying that the many great horses there are about ready for their arduous tasks and undertakings This seems to be es- pecially true of the two and three-year- olds. and scarcely less true of the older division.
 Visitors to the track rarely leave with out a call at Charley Herr's stall, for he is more touted and eulogised than any other. This fame, fast stallion has earn ed a national reputation for speed, hon. esty and consistency, and, in the next few months, will make bold, fearless bid for championship honors in the stall lion class. Whatever may be said about his chances in the coming match with the peerless son of McGregor. no one has ever said, or ever win say that he is not an honest race horse, one that, no mat ter how severe and trying the test, fights it out gamely and to the bitter end. A horse of his courage and speed Is never defeated till the last inch of ground has been measured. It is the opinion of those most familiar with this stalwart son of Alfred c that he is not only @ much im- proved horse, but that he is as sound to- day as he was when he first trotted to a race record. It has been the habit of turf writers to refer to Charley Herr as a littl9 horse. He measures 16 hands at the withers, and is so good looking in stud form that he compared favorably with the handsomest stallions exhibited at the Lexington show in April.

Frederick Ackers.

The Spirit of the Times and other pa pers are prodigal in their eulogies of this good man who has passed from the scenes of this life. He was one of the most unique and stalwart of the old school of horsemen and breeders of New York and the east Like MT. Bonner and many others he bred the trotter for amusement and recreation. He was an Engishman by birth and worked him. self from humble boyhood to affluence, wealth and social position. He was brusque on the surface but had most noble contempt for questionable prac- tices of the turf as any man. We met him at the great Lexington meeting some years ago in company with the million aire breeders and road drivers, William Allen, J. Malcolm Forbes and Frederick Gerkin. He was fond of discussing the breeding of horses, and their pedigrees and families in an intelligent man. At sixty-five years of age he laid down the weapons, took off the armor and gave up the battle of life for the peace of another land.''

THE BIG RAGE
 COMES OFF TODAY Rich Brooklyn Handicap Looks Like a Sinecure for Banas-
 tar, a Former Victor

New York, May A.-At Gravesend to- morrow afternoon the Brooklyn handicap, the richest stake of the season, for aged racers at the distance of over a mile will be run. If no rain falls the race will be run on a track which will be as fast as at any time the fixture has ever been decid- ed. Tonight there is a well-defined idea that Banastar has as fine chance for the rich stake as when he walked away with it in 1899 to the surprise of everybody. His owner and a number of his chosen friends express every confidence. This time, how ever, he will carry more weight than on that date. for he is two years older and has the race charged in the books of the handicapper, which always puts on lot of weight. .. ,,as,S
