Notwithstanding his flood Of

1t Takes Him Ten Years to Acquire
Art of Cooking.
The chef, whose salary Is $1,000 a.
year, tipped the cabman handsomely
and entered his club, says the Phfla-
delphia Bulletin.
How one becomes a chef?" he said
"You want to know how one learns to
hard work-nine or ten years OF hard
work."
The Chef" he said, begins as a
boy, as apprentice to a 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 truffie down, In
hundred fine and beautiful ways. He
gets no salary. He only gets his
board. - s.
snow for year he studies raw
meats. he learns how to select them
and how to cut them up. He can tell
at glance, for instance, the geauine
saltmeadow mutton from the false.
Along S~ith this raw meat eoarse also
goes a5stndy- of fish and of game and OF
lpoultry-how to stuff, dress, lard, truss
and SO ON.
Next for year, at a smaN salary.
he stands before the range, learning
how to broll, fry. roast and bake.
He now reaches the foundation OF
his art and is admitted into the pres,
ence Of the chef himself-oniy assist

teaches him how to make Soups. pas

puddings and souffies. Three or four

She turned again at the foot of the
ladder, and came quickly back. "That's
a good lad. knew you would not re-
fuse me-" and smiling at the poor lout
she was befooling, she passed into the
cabin.
There was no lantern, and from the
partially blocked stern windows came
only dim vaporous light. The dull rip
pie of the water as the ship rocked on
the slow swell of the sea, made a mel
ancholy sound. and the sick mans heavy
breathing seemed to fill the air. The
slight noise made by the opening door
rounsed him; he rose on his elbow and
began to mutter. Sarah Purfoy paused
In the doorway to listen, but she could
make nothing of the low, uneasy muir
muring. Raising her arm, conspicuous
by its white sleeve In the gloom, she
beckoned Miles.
'The lantern" she whispered

it swung, and brought it toward her.
At that moment the man in the bunk sat
up erect, and twisted himself toward
the light. "Sarahr' he cried, In shrill.
sharp tones. "Sarahp' and swooped
with lean arm through the dusk, as
though TO seize her.
The girl leaped out Of the cabin like
panther, and was back at the bunk
head in moment. The convict was
young man of about four and twenty.
His hands were small and well shaped.
and the unshaven chin bristled with
promise of a strong beard. His wild
black eyes glared with all the fire of
delirium, and as he gasped for breath
the sweat stood in beads ON his sall0w
forehead.
The aspect of the man was sufficiently
CHASTITY, and Miles, drawing back, did
not wonder at the terror which had seiz-
ed Mrs. Vickers' maid. With open
mouth and agonized face. she stood in
the center of the cabin, like one turned
to stone. gazing at the man on the bed.
'Ecod, he be a sightw says Miles, at
length. Come away, miss, and shut
the door. He's raving, 1 tell yer"

And, wreathing her arms around the
mans head. she pulled it down on her
bosom, rocking it there, half savagely, to
and fro.
Awed into obedience by her voice,
Miles dipped a pannikin into small
unheaded puncheon cleated in the cor
ner of the cabin, and gave it her; and,
without thanking him, she placed it to
the sick prisoners lips. He drank greed
lily, and closed his eyes with a grateful
sigh. Just then the quick ears of Miles
heard the jingle of arms.
Here's the doctor coming, miss" he
cried. Il hear the sentry saluting. Come
away! Quick!'
She seized the lantern. and, opening
the horn slide, extinguished it.
Say it went out" she said. in a
fierce whisper, "and hold your tongue.
Leave me to manage"
She bent over the convict as If to ar
range his pillow, and then glided out of
the cabin just as Fine descended the
hatchway. As he CROPPED his way with
outstretched arms In the darkness, Sarah
Purfoy slipped past him.

LIVES WELL ON $40 A YEAR.

WtscOnsiR Man Has Done 1t for 40
Years-Seems Content,
Near Mirror Lake, in Wisconsin, Is a
log cabin in which man has lived for
forty years on $40 a year. George
Swimmer is his name and he seems pes
fectly contented, writes correspond
eHit Of the st. Louis Republic.
The old man is Civil War veteran.
When he was discharged at the end
of the war he had money enough to
purchase an acre Of ground on the
shores Of picturesque Mirror Lake. In
this acre Of ground he planted vegeta-
bles and fruit trees. Close to the house
there grows thick cluster Of black
berry bushes and In the garden behind
1t there are long rows Of strawberries.
Over the fence that separates the yard
from the road are wild roses Here the
veteran makes his home.
How does he live?
Each day he takes his fishing rod
and goes down to Mirror Lake. That
is his pork barrel. The fish that he
draws out of those waters supply his
dinner, likewise his breakfast.
The vegetables and meal made from
corn grown in his garden complete his
diet. For his lake fishing Skinner has
built himself a boat which is as unique
as himself. In order that he may fish
and propel his boat at the same time
he has invented an extraordinary con.
trivance.
At the stern of his boat he has q
paddle like that of river steamer.
This is turned by means Of a chain
running on cogs and attached to a
crank that the old man turns with one
hand as he trolls with the other. From
this strange craft, nicknamed 1.-THE
flying machine"sby the people Of Del
ton. Skinner does his angling.
Skinner lives during the winter as
well as he does in summer. From the
overabundance of one season he saves
enough to meet the necessities of the
other. He catches on an average 100
fish day, mostly small ones. Ten Of
these suffice for his two simple meals.
The other ninety are carefully
cleaned and stored away in great bar
rels Of brine kept in the cellar of his
cabin. When he has enough barrels
Of fish stored away to last him through
the winter he stops fishing, as he
thinks it is a sin to kill any creature,
even fish, except for food.
From his garden he cans his vegeta-
bles and berries. Everything that he
needs is supplied from natures pork
barrel"
The $40 which he spends annually
goes for tobacco. fish-hooks and cloth
ing.
