QUITE FORGOT THE TASTE.
q Guarded Answer to a Question
That Was Rather PuzzlIns.


That Was Rather PuzzlIng.
1t was in 1868 that Aunt Ann
came to the family in the capacity
of cook. Her culinary qualifications
were limited indeed, but she express
ed herself as being cable an willin'
to larn, missy" In type size was q
regular cornfield hand" almost us
broad as she was long and with an
appetite which justified her size, but
at that time it was almost impossi-
bic to get the services of a compc-
tent cook at any price.
On one occasion Aunt Ann was
assisting in the preparation of a
company dinner. During the several
days required to prepare for the
contemplated dinner she was in her
glory. She liked to eat, and the
thing that. she liked next best to do
was to talk about good eatla'," so
during this time every variety Of
tempting viands, from the most del
icatc to the most substantial, was
discussed, from ambrosia and an
gels food all the way down to ':pos-
sum and taters," Aunt AIMS favor
ite dish that her white folks uster
cook back in ole Virginny."
AS the different dishes were pre-
pared and set aside Aunt Ann be-
came less excited and loquacious.
1t was during the presidential cam
paign of 1868, and the names of
Seymour and Blair, Grant and
Colfax, became as familiar as those
of the family. Curious to hear
what the old negress would say, her
mistress, in one of the lulls of con-
versation, asked; her:
si, Aunt Ann, wiuicih do you
prefer now, Seymour aud Blair or
Grant and Colfax?"
The old negress, mixing spoon in,
hand, struck an attitude, her eyes
fixed on vacancy as if in profound
thought. Ina moment she replied:
'Well, Miss Kate, as you axed me
I'ze gwine tell you de trufe. Our,
white folks back in ole Virginnyi
uster cook 'em bofe, but hits been
so long since I'ze tas' any I'ze
mighty nigh forgot how dey tas'es."

ter to serve Minos, yet that was not
needed. Another woman would
dare as much, and could any one
dare more than she?
Then the victory was won, but
not on the side of duty, And only
then, when she ihad,fully.d determined
OF her plan, did She fndspeaceE or
rest.
That. night she arrayed herself in
her richest robes. Never had, she
looked more beautiful. Theigraces
themselves might have envied her.
And Nisus smiled q; welcome to ,his
daughter az she entered the BAN
quet hall. All traces of her grief
ut he,sacrifce had disappeared, and
the liking was.glad.
Scylla suffered all his attention
and endearments, but hurried toNher
apartments as soon as she could.
She feared lest her resolution might
weaken and SO her happiness be for
ever lost.
How many of us have stood in a
like position, with all the seasons for
and against our actions crushing us
down, our life and death in the bal
ance, which breath would give or
take!
1t was after the midnight watch
had been called and the palace was
sunk in slumber that figure enyel-
oped in dark cloak glided through
the vide corridor to the kings
apartments. At the door q chal-
lenge rung out, but moment later
the sentinel knelt and the princess
passed in to her father.
Nisus slept, and the daughter
slowly approached his couch. How
noble he looked, but the girl steeled
her hesrt against himl
VA moment later sine dark nguru
fed down the corridors as it had
come, but a.gleam Of Triumph shone
from the eyes and love and victory
struggled for mastery in the coun-
tenance. And the king elept on, but
the purple lock had left his head
forever!
So Scylla went through the dark
city and left it behind her as she
passed the wall through a secret
gate. Swiftly she entered the camp
Of the enemy e.d demanded to see
King Minos.
When the king beheld her he
thought SO lovely q woman had new
er'before walked che eai.h, but when,
holding'out the purple lock- she said
that she gave up Ter city, her father,
herself, he spurAed her from him.
"Shall Crete" he cried, sswhere
Jove himself was Graded, be pollut-
ed by this monster? Infamous wom-
an, begone, and may neither land
nor sea afford thee resting placer
"Alas!" !" cried Scylla. stFor thee
have l given up everything! Aye, I
am deserving of death, but thy hand
should not be the one to deal the
blow!"
But Minos would have nothing to
do with her, and the next morning,
giving orders that equitable terms
should be allowed to the vanquished
city, be sailed away with his Aees.
AS the ships were departing Scylla
jumped into the sea and, grasping
the rudder of the vessel that con-
veyed Minos, was carried along with
it till an eagle, into,which her fa-
ther had been changed, darted down
and pecked at her with its beak and
claws. scylla cried for mercy, and
some pitying deity changed her into
bird.
And to this day the eagle pounces
| upon the gull, ever seeking venge-
ance for the old cSime.
