leave Mrs. MacNicking. 1t could not
be affection for that estimable but
wholly unattractive person. He pom
dered il out. Light broke upon him.
OF course with a hundred thousand
dollars in the bank he might marry
a smarter girl than Rosemary. But
then again the girl wouldn't be Rose
mary.
When she brought in his tea the
room grew bright and warm again.
He pondered no longer. II should think
you'll be thankful to be rid of me-"
he told her, examining her attentive
ly.
''Oh, I like-like doing" she insist
ed and broke down. Are you going
away, Mr.. Pendlebury?" The pain in
her voice and in her averted eyes told
him all he wished to know.
I'm going away if you'll come with
me, Rosemary" he said with a burst
of courage. He further found courage
to take her in his arms and kiss her.
I'm going to start housekeeping, and
l shall want a wife" he said.
There was roguish twinkle in her
eyes as Rosemary returned his kiss.
Il always did like doing things for
people" she insisted.

meIiowly, Il thought mebbe you'd
like a cup
There was nothing he would have
liked better. He almost caught il
from her hand. Coffee was h s one
carnal delight, and it was long since
he had INDUCED it. In engaging the
rooms he had stipulated expressly for
a midday cup of coffee. For the frs
week this had been regularly brought,

He had contemplated moving. But
he glanced about him ruefully-
what it would mean to arrange, to
pack and to rearrange all his books
and papers, He did not move. He
called philosophy to his aid and de-
cided that no man should be the mere
slave of a habit.
Yet here now was his cup Of coffee.
A fig for philosophy! He flung it TO
the winds. He caught the cup from
the girls hands with a kindling face.
Had he not long since forgotten how
to kiss he might have kissed her. She
seemed but a rosy-faced girl.
Thank you. Martha, thank you,' he
said gratefully.

move your chair. And l shall have

Certainly before he could bring his
distracted mind to the level of
speech like this, she had set down her
pail, and dashing a channels leather
briskly into it, was chasing it Vigor-
ously round and round the dingy
panes.
The inventor remained speechless in
his chair, PROSTATE between shock and
amazement at an insistent energy
which would not be denied.
Martha, you know" she volunteer
ed presently in broken gasps, she's
gone and got marrit"
Martha was the servant woman who
had so long and so grimly rendered
him domestic service.
The young woman faced about with
flash of white, strong teeth and
laughing eyes. Queer, isn't it. any
body'd want to marry the likes of her!"
The inventor made no answer. Ir-
ritability--the supreme irritabi ity of
the brain-worker interrupted in his
work was succeeding upon shock As
a law of the Modes and Persians for
ten whole years had been respected
that command of his that not on rain
of death should one intru3e upon his
working hours. When he required
food or lights or fire he would ring.
Unless he should ring, even though
an interval of days should pass, no.
body was to disturb him.
The law had been observed to the
letter. Nobody had had the slightest
interest i'll disturbing him. The less
trouble he gave the better If in the
tension of brain effort he forgot to
ring for dinner, the mistress and maid
of the house wherein he lodged OBJ
served lightly one to another that the
dinner would serve warmed up for
supper. 1t was his orders, not any
body's fault, if he went without his
meals.
He had been grateful to them fer
what he regarded as proper respect
for the Idea. The present outrage
perpetrated upon it was a thing to
gasp at. 1t seemed to him that only
by raising and Staying the perps trator
could he properly meet the ends of
the case. He had a momentary vision
of a sturdy laughing maid of all work
dying OH the floor.
But she turned and stood before
him. There now!" she exclaimed,
pointing exultantly to the translucent
panes. "Why. you couldn't see a hand
before you through them. Now you
can sit, and watch the people passing
in the street And get a bit of light.
TO my mind you look as if a bit OF

pale and pindlin'"
She caught up her pail and her
cloths and whisked briskly away, clos
Ing the door sharply behind her. He
heard her go humming down the
stairs.
He sat staring at the door. For ten
whole years he had come into no
more relation with women than was
to be obtained by passing them alb
stractedly in the street. Martha and
her mistress scarcely counted. Either

Bending above his work he did not
seem to hear her. But the spasm of

Prepares Two Meals Day.
King Edwards cook enjoys a salary
of e2,0O0 about the same as a lieu
tenant-general in the army or an adj
miral of the fleet. M. Menager, whose
reputation is second to none as a chef,
is about 40 years old, and a native of
Southern France. This autocrat of the
Kings kitchen does not sleep under the
Kings roof, but has his private resi-
dence in street not very far away.
With the Kings breakfast he has
nothing to do; an artist could not be
expected to produce three masterpieces
in one day. So at about IL o'clock the
prince of chefs steps into a hanson
and Is driven to Buckingham Palace.
There, in a large, sunny kitchen, over
looking the lawns, he receives the
luncheon carte, drawn up by Lord
Farquhar, and his work begins. First
of all he orders what will be required.
and the master of the kitchen sees that
all the articles come in, checks each
item, and then sends the account to
Sir Nigel Kingscote, the paymaster,
who writes out a check in payment.

like the poet, is born, not made. An
additional interest attaches to this Gull
mary, autocrat because of the encour-
agement he gives to woman cooks.
1t has always been said that women
cannot attain to great nights as cooks
and creator of dishes, and that, just
as they fail to excel in music, poetry
and painting. they fail also in the
higher mysteries of cooking. 1t is very
interesting to learn, on the testimony
of the Kings cook, that this is no
longer true, however true it may have
been formerly NJ. Menager is the first
chef to admit that women have any
talent in this direction, and says that
his women assistants do contrive great
works for which he as chef gets the
credit. For this generous concession
women ought to feel very grateful,
for, coming from such a high quarter,
it will undoubtedly do much to re-
move the popular notion as to women's
lack of creative capacity in the kitch-
en-. And, further, NJ. Menager says that
there are renowned kitchens in London
which have frequently served up din
ners to his royal master and are con-
trolled entirely by women cooks.-Ttt-

The inventor entering his sitting
room on Monday morning perceived
an unwOnted Cdor. He brought his
mind out Of abstraction, and discover
ed a tumbler of water with a bunch
of violets in it standing on the mantle
piece.
He had forgotten there were violets
in the world. He experienced sud-
den odd sensation. He stood looking
down at them. The perfumed cluster
thrilled his senses. He stopped to
smell them. Their freshness, their
sweetness. their low-tOned humility of
color affected him strangely. 1t is said

The inventor looked up from his
writing table with a frown. a sudden
draught had swept into the room. and,
as with spiteful hands, had caught up
and whirled a dozen pages of his
manuscript to the floor. Having look
ed up. he sat staring.
For in place of the gaunt, hard-fea-
tured servant woman who for years
had waited on him, a bright-haired
brown-eyed, rosy-cheeked girl stood
smiling in the doorway.
From one hand hung a pail of
steaminT water. in the other was a
mass of cloths and busters.

her as though from miles away. Abb

But she did not. or she would not
understand. She made for the middle
of the room with a certain youthful,
healthful irrepressibility, the steaming
pail at the end of a rigid pink arm,
her cloths and busters in hand.
Il guess I'll clean them windows"
she repeated with a cheerful vigor.

from the Idea and applied it to the
actual. Not while I'm here" he
objected peremptorily. She halted a

ENTOMOLOGIST SCOTT
State Horticultural Society Closes Its Session al
Athens-Convention of the Georgia Dairymen.

Athens, Ga, Aug 4-The State Hor-
ticultural Society adjourned this after
noon to meet next year at Tallulah
Falls. The afternoon session was one
of interest. A resolution was passed
directing the president to appoint 81
committee to go to Atlanta and appear
before the Legislature requesting the
passage of a sufficient appropriation to
add to the salary of the state entomolo-
gist and provide him any necessary as
sistance.
Mr.. Scott has resigned and will go
to the United States service in Wash
ington at an advanced salary. The
horticulturists think that 1t would be
calamity to the Auit interests of the
state for him TO be allowed to go away,
hence this movement to retain him.
President Berckmans appointed the
following committee: Dudley M.
Hughes, H. A. Matthews, G. M. Ryals,

peace between the opposing factions.
When King Umberto went to Venice
to meet the Emperor of Germany Car
dinal Sarto announced his intention of
making a state visit to the King. A
hint was sent him from the Vatican
that his course might not be a wise
one, and that he had best be absent
from Venice at the time of the Kings
visit. The decision was left, however,
with Sarto, who carried out his original
plan, made his state visit to the King,
and, 1t is said mentioned the fact
that the Vatican had advised against
1t. Personally, he is perhaps the most
sympathetic of the papabile cardinals.
He is a handsome man, carrying his
sixty-eight years lightly. Strong,
modest, disliking the intrigues and the
ceremonies of the papal court, he rare
ly comes to Rome, and is content to
remain in his beloved Venice, the
friend of the people and of the clerics
