His Kingdom for a Bicycle

In November of 1890, when General
Young, lately in command of the Amer
lean Army, conquered Northern Lu-
zon, the insurgents made desperate
resistance at San Fernando. They
were finally scattered by the Ameri-
can cavalry.
Three troopers were in hot pursuit
of Filipino officer, who was making
for small house on the beach. He
disappeared inside. From this house
stretched sand embankment, thrown
up as trenches, for half mile to a
clump of bamboos.
A moment after the Americans had
seen the insurgent officer enter the
house he reappeared beyond the

being could have attained such rapid

The Americans were f1vstifed.
They searched the house, an old mill,
and found nothing. Then they gave
it up and returned to their comrades,
believing that the hot sun had affected
their heads.
Some months afterwards Ignacio
Vil1amore, now a judge in Manila, was
telling some American friends of his
brothers miraculous escape at the
fight at San Fernando. One of the
Americans remembered the incident
of the insurgent officer who had ap-
parently escaped by means of wings
and told it. j
THAT was my BROTHER" said Mr.
Vil1amore.
"How did he escape?" asked the
American.

well, and comes in most pleasing cof-
ors-scarlet, dark green, ETC. 1t is
often successfully used on wicker fur
niture, and you should treat your
chairs with it and cushion them with
gaily-howered chintz in which the col
ors Of Hover or leaf correspond with
the enamel selected for the chair.
There is also an uncolored finishing
varnish which could be used after the
chair had received a coat Of light
brown stain. This simply deepens the
self color, and gives a polished sur
face.

The pine woodwork could have a
stain black oak wood tint brushed
upon it, and be given a coat of dead
lac to finish it. This insures a black
woodwork with a perfectly dead sur
face at much less labor and expense
than paint requires The ceiling of
this room should be purely white.
The windows should be simply the
regulation stock ones, with square
panes. These should set in length
wise and be arranged to slip in a
groove, one over the other The eff

and more suggestive of Old World
cottage architecture than the same
window set in the usual way could
be. A narrow shelf should project
above these windows on the inside,
and window boxes be set on the outer
sill.
Ivory white cheesecloth curtains,
run directly on the slender brass rod,
should reach to the sill and be fin

hem. Some pieces of inexpensive blue

old Stafordsh1re ware, would decor

frames.
The furniture could be bought in
the unfinished state, and the two
tables, a large kitchen one and a
smaller one, together with straight
back wooden chairs, could be treated

Nevertheless, it is possible to

sunlight, side walls and wood finish
need not be considered so carefully,
save as to harmony of color A dainty
and attractive breakfast table, set in
bright and cheerful surroundings,
gives the members of a household a
cheerful start for each days work.
When the exposure of the room is
southern or southeastern, much dark
WOodW Ork may be indulged in and the
side walls may show deep, rich cOlOrs.
All the light of the room should
focus upon the table. A fern dish of
pierced silver, or white metal, should
be placed on the centre of the table,
either when it is barred to the polished
surface or covered with fresh white
damask. A squat glass bowl or a tall,
slender crystal vase for flowers or
long stemmed roses may be used.
The ferns in the silver dish, however,
are so fresh, crisp and lasting that
most people, to whom the question of
expense is important, find them a de-
sirable table decoration for daily use.
All florists now sell these centre
pieces of growing ferns. A dwarf
palm may be surrounded by three or
four varieties of graceful yet hardy
ferns, making a little wilderness of
greenery.
When the apartment which must
serve as dining room is less pleas
antly situated as to light and sunshine,
white enamel woodwork is desirable,
combined with Colonial yellow wall
paper; or, if there is a wainscOt of
ivory white enamel wood, a frieze of
crimson may be used, or any vivid,
rich color introduced. I recall beau

the walls were entirely of polished

The mullioned windows were draped |
with a rich brocade in two tones of
crimson, and the seats of the chairs |

In such a room dearth of sunshine
is hardly realized.
In a cottage where the wood finish
is OF the simplest and the exposure
of the dining room due north, the
rough plaster walls may be treated
with clear yellow water color wash.
