My uncle came out to meet us, and,
churlish as he had been at our setting
off, begged eagerly for our story. This
&c asked of me, and, being his guest,
I could scarce refuse him. He listened
with diiated eye, nervously closing
and uneios.ng his hands, and l had
not finished my tale when there came
a great knocking at the gate.
The fellow at guard sprang to recon-
hotter through a judas, but saw Moth
ing except 4 ridesless horse. My un-
Gle WAS called, and 1 went with him;
and the horse, upon being brought into
the court yard was found TO be
Owain's nag. A torch was brought out
and L then observed a piece of slaty
shale tied to its rein by dried rush,
scratched in rude letters II. c." and l
passed it to my uncle
The horse has not found its way
back of itself; that is clear" said /.
Sir Arthur stared at the rudely
formed letters with all his eyes.
And does he SO, indeed?' he said
slowly, and does he 500" lie bit his
lip and looked again at the scrap of
shale. Nephew" he went on. do you
full to curry favor with Owain against
me. Ay, that is htS idea"
"A very foolish one then" I replied,
and in adopting such a fancy you do
not compliment Master Vaughan. I
am certain he would be incapable of
being influenced in such fashion"
why the return of the horse?"
called out my uncle, beating his hand
upon the saddle.
Il should say l replied, that this
leuan was not among the band that
pursued us, that he came upon the
scene within a little while, and, having
no feeling of enmity against Master
Vaughn, sent him his horse back"
Why, there you grant me every
thing" cried out Sir Arthur, beating
the saddle more vehemently, every
thing. You pick me out, all of you;
you set me up as mark for this band.
You as good as say that /, and l alone,
therefore all others are to be drawn
from me, to desert me, TO leave me to
their mercy, the mercy of a pack of
wolves"
To this cutlery silence seemed to me
the best answer, and said nothing.
My curse upon your foolish plot
ting" he burst out, his eyes burning
with venomous contempt and fury,
my hearty curse upon 1T! 1t Is 1 who
should be seeking refuge with you and
not you With me. A curse, | say, upon
bungling fools, who know not when to
rest content in peace and safety"
l turned upon my heel and went to
the house. but until the heavy door
closed behind me / heard my uncle's
shrill voice declaiming against the
course of action which had cost him
the safe refuge of Butley Croft.

Frau HeyI, Domestic Organizer.

l Harper's Bazaar: The soul of the
German movement for new house
keeper is Frau Hedwig 1eyl of Ber-
din. AS the wife of wealthy manu-
facturer and. since his death, rs the
manager of his business, she obtained
q wide knowledge of people and OF the
needs of different classes. Her first
interest was in her own factory work.
ers. She saw how difficult it was foI
the father and mother who were busy
In the factory all day to train their
children into good and Industrious mel.
and women. Frau lIeyl felt that she
was responsible for the welfare of the
children of her workers, so she pre-
pared her attractive garden house and
invited them to come to her when not
in school. The girls We're taught
housekeeping and cooking, and ac-'
uuired a love of work and OF order.
Many who We're trained in this little
school have since become excellent
housemaids. The children grew up,
and since the factory kept its old work
ers the little garden house became
empty, but the idea was not lost. Ac-
cording to the plan and under the di-
rection of Frau Heyl, the city founded
a "Madchenhort," the ooject of which
was to supplement the care the mother
can give and the instruction received
in the schools. The girls learn to make
the most of the little they have-to
make few bare rooms in some meas
ure attractive, and to prepare good and
wholesome food.

A Queen Who Pan Her Family

/, Emily Crawford, in Everyhody's Maga-
zine: The late Queen Louise of Denmark
was a shy woman who preferred full
inner life to a shining external one. She
possessed in an extraordinary degree the
power of "suggesting'' to others without
appearing to wish or will Though mas
terful, she never appeared TO seek for
mastery in family other matters and
she retained to the last day of her life
her maternal hold on the hearts of her
children and kin. Those who entered the
family by marriage became amenable to
her moral suason. She understood that
a way to hold her own with them was to
avoid all intrusion in their homes and
affairs.
When the imperial, royal and exiled
kindred gathered round the late queen of
Denmark. at F'relensborg, they accepted
absolutely her sway as mother and mis-
tress of the house. The law of primo
geniture ruled: thus the princess of Wales
took precedence In Denmark. except OIL
tate OCCASIONS, over her Younger sister,
the empress of Russia. She sat beside
her mother in driving out in the queens
little dog cart. and the empress sat at
their back holding on by the side-rails,
with her feet on the board and her knees
close to her chin. And King Christian
was, incontestably, "his wife's husband"
When white man steals watermelons
he boasts about 1T, but the colored brother
