, LEE LEARNED CALL RIGHT"


Like many another New England
housewife, Mrs. Greene was familiar
enough with the old-fashioned "One-
Two Three Four Cake" the arithmetic
ally progressive recipe for which calls
for one cup of butter, two Of sugar,
three Of flour, and four eggs. Her
daughter Grace, who married several
years ago and went to San Francisco
to live, has recently come back with
her children for visit When the
tiniest Of her grandsons one day begged
for "One-TwoThree-Fi Five" Cake for
supper, Mrs. Greene laughed the de-
lighted laugh Of the grandmother.
BLESS the boy!" she cried. Just
hear him trying to count''
oh, Billy can count, mother" said
Grace. But that's what we call that
cake now, ever since my Chinese cook
began to make it.
1.-The children are very fond Of this
particular cake, so after Lees arrival
undertook to teach him to make it.
had learned by that time that it is
useless to tell him how to do anything !;
but had only to make a dish before
him, and then he could make it exactly
as we'll as l.

and -four, and began to break the eggs.
l broke three, one by one, and turned
them into the bowl for beating; but as
the fourth seemed the least bit doubt

it into the pail, and coming back to the
table, broke another egg, which
proved to be good.
Shortly afterward l happened to be
In the kitchen when Lee was making
this cake. He broke three eggs into
the bowl, as l had done, and then
stepped to the door and threw out the
next egg-which was perfectly good.
when protested, he said, I makee
cake samee Missee' And when looked
into his expressionless eyes, somehow
1 knew there was no use in combating
the centuries Of the Chinese Empire. I
gave up, and just changed the name Of
the cake. 1t was easier than to make

Silence, and then Bland and Dawes
looked at each other. The prize had
been left in the bag. Mooney-fortu-
nate old fellow-retained the longest
straw. BANDS hand shook as he COM
pared notes with his companions. There
was a moments pause, during which
the blank eye-balls of the blind man
fercely searched the gloom, as if in that
awful moment they could penetrate it.
Il hold the shortest" said Dawes to
Bland. ""Tis you that must do it."
I'm glad of that" said Mooney.
Bland, seemingly terrified at the dan
ger which fate had decreed that he
should run, tore the fatal lot into frag-
ments, and sat gnawing his knuckles
in excess of abject terror. Mooney
stretched himself out upon his plank
bed Come on. mate" he said. Bland
extended a shaking hand, and caught
Rufus Dawes by the sleeve.

as his companion. ''I've run my chance
fairly. Twas your own proposal"
The coward who, confident in his OWE
pit he had dug for others, sat rocking
himself to and fro, holding his head in
his hands.
Il can't do it," he whispered, lifting
a white, wet face.
What are you waiting for?" said for
tunate Mooney. 'Come on; I'm ready

The notion seemed to sober the senses
Of the old man. exalted too fercely by
his good fortune.
"Ayw he said. "Pray! A good
thought And he knelt down. and
shutting his blind eyes-'twas as though
he was dazzled by some strong light
unseen by his comrades, moved his lips
silently.
1t was quite dark now in the cell; but
as Bland advanced his face was like q
white mask floating upon the darkness
Dawes pressed his lucky comrades hand
and withdrew to the furthest corner.
When Troke came in the morning, he
saw what had occurred at glance, and
fastened to remove the corpse of the
strangled Mooney.
"We drew lots" said Rufus Dawes
pointing to Bland, who crouched in the
corner furthest from his victim, ''and il
fell upon him to do it. I'm the wit
ness"
They'll hang you all for that" said
Troke.
II hope So" said Rufus Dawes.
The scheme of escape hit upon by the
convict intellect was simply this: Three
men being together, lots were drawn to
determine who should be murdered. The
drawer of the longest straw was the
"lucky" man. He was killed. The
drawer of the next longest straw was
the murderer. He was hanged. The
unlucky one was the witness. He had
of course, an excellent chance of being
hanged also, but his doom was not Sc
certain. and he therefore looked upon
himself as unfortunate.

The traveller stopped at the cabin and
asked for a drink Of water. While the
old negro woman was getting 1t he
looked round the little cabin. The walls
were covered with Autographs and pic

spicuous objects were two large framed

HOW THE CHEF IS TRAINED.

1t Takes Him Ten Years to Acquire
Art of Cooking.
The chef, whose salary Is $1,000 q
year, tipped the cabman handsomely
and entered his club, says the Phila.
delphia Bulletin.
How one becomes a chefY' he said.
"You want to know how one learns to
be chef, Ell? Well, the answer is, by
hard work-nine or ten years of hard
work"
The Chef" he said, begins as a
boy, as apprentice to master. For
several years he works under the vege-
table cook. He learns how to make
mashed potatoes that look like white
roses, how to cook and arrange all the
vegetables, from the trufle down, in a
hundred fine and beautiful ways. He
gets no salary. He only gets his
board.
"Now for a year he studies raw
meats. He learns how to select them
and how to cut them up. He can tell
at q glance, for instance, the genuine
salt-meadow mutton from the false.
Along with this raw meat course also
goes a study of fish and Of game and Of
poultry-how to stuff, dress, lard, truss
and 30 on.
Next for a year, at q small salary.
he stande before the range, learning
how to broil, fry. roast and bake.
HE now reaches the foundation of
his art and Is admitted into the pres
ence of the chef himself only. assist
ants have taught him 20 far. The chef
teaches him how to make soups, pas
tries, Ices and the more complicated
buildings and soufHes. Three or four
years Is none too long a time to study
here.
'Ten years Of hard work should turn
a quick apprentice into a good chef.
Such a chef without difficulty earns
from $25 a week up to $3.50. If he
rave half as much time to the bar, the
church, or medicine, he would earn
thrice "a much"
