Suppose you were quietly undressing
in your room at London hotel when

outside were going to kill him. What
would you do when his enemies burst in
your door and tried to drag him off with
out law or warrant? And suppose the
man possessed some momentous secret
which made hims the victim of an inter
national conspiracy, and that beautiful
American girl seemed to be one of the
conspirators. Interesting, is it not?
Well, that is only hint of the first chap
ter, and the story carries one along in a
mystifed excitement to the end.

pen. Americans are only beginning to
realize that he is one of the greatest
masters Of exciting narratives in this
decade. He is an Englishman with an
American wife, and characters from both
countries figure in his novels. The
Great Secret" is marvel Of its kind.

Easter COLLINS.

Novelties in the Easter line are COB
Inns made out of eggs. For this pur-
pose the contents of an egg are re-
moved through a hole in one end, and
on the shell is painted funny face.
Then with little Ingenuity legs and
arms are attached, and even a cap
may be added, thus producing a very
comic effect. Equally amusing is an
egg rocker which is made by pour
ing sealing wax and then melted lead
through an opening in one end of an
egg, SO that all of the material shall
collect at the other end, the natural
contents having been previously re-
moved by blowing. Then the shell is
painted with comic face, and a dress
and cap are added, the result being a
figure of fun that will always persist
in sitting upright, no matter how it is
disturbed.

TO Tell How old an Egg Is.

Easter eggs having no teeth to look
at, some other means Of determining
their age must be used to prevent the
possibility of catastrophe at the Sun
day morning breakfast table. This
method is a good one: Dissolve quar-
ter of a pound Of salt in a quart OF
cold water and drop in the eggs one at
a time. If a day old an egg will set.
tie to the bottom; if three days old il
will float; if more than five days old
it will rise above the water in proper
ton to its age. To ascertain the quail
ity of eggs make cone Of stiff white
paper, place the eggs to be tested one
at time in the large end and look
through the small end toward the sun
If the contents look clear the egg is
good, though the shell may be discol-
ored; if spots are seen it is not good

AN EASTER Owe TEST.
How France Keeps Henri de Mont
mOrency's Memory Green. s

How France Keeps Henri de Mont
morency's Memory Green.
In Cires- Mello, small town of
the department Of Disc, in France
they have a strange method Of testing
fate on Easter Monday.
To understand the custom il is neces-
sary to glance at an incident in. French
history. When the constable Henri de
MohtmOrency, owner of the chateau
at Mello, was so pursued by the hatred
of Cardinal Richelieu that he was at
last beheaded for the crime of high
treason at Toulouse, his wife had a lit
tie chapel built in the park of the
chateau and begged the cardinal to
permit her to place the remains of her
husband in it.
Richelieu and Louis XIII. denied her
prayer, and she retired in sorrow to a
convent, where she had sumptuous
chapel built, in which now stand
statues in marble of her and her hus-
band.
But the little chapel Of Cires- les Mel
%, though empty, became the center Of
LIZ lOScIS vi dCCO1ut OIL
the affection which had prompted its
erection. 1t is to this modest place Of
worship that youths and maidens re-
sort from miles away on Easter Mon
day to learn their fate.
The mode of divination is most curl
Gus. The entrance to the chapel is pro-
tected by grill work through which it
is easy to pass your hand. The young
man or woman who wishes to learn
whether the chosen one will wed him
or her during the ensuing year takes
a sou in hand and, putting the arm
through the grill, tries to cast the sou
on the altar
II the sou falls on the altar and stays
there, it is thought certain that the
saint will intercede for the lover and
bring him or her the happiness Of mar
rage within the year. If, however, the
coin should not fall on the altar or
should roll off, adieu for a long time to
all hope of marriage.
The sous of fortunate and unfortu-
nate alike are gathered by the priest
afterward and devoted to the purchase
of masses for the unhappy Boston
Globe.

In Portugal.

The Portuguese decorate their
churches in the most gorgeous manner
for Easter, and the services are es-
pecially elaborate Children's choirs
are employed, and from the richest to
the poorest all girls are dressed in
snowy white. The peasants celebrate
Easter by practice known as lift
ing commemorative of our Saviour's
rising from the grave Three or four
persons take hold of each arm and
leg of one Of their friends, or stran-
ger, for that matter, and lift him OF
her up three times in a horizontal po-
sition. Sometimes the lifting is done
in a chair lined with white cloth and
decorated with ribbon.

Easter In the
Yaterland

go HE German children wake on


+ q Easter Monday in about the
~ same state of mind in which
American children wake on
christmas morning. Instead of with
Santa Claus and reindeer their dreams
have been filed with kind hearted rab-
bits and their attendants, elves. fairies
and little old fashioned gnomes, who
live in deep holes in the mountain
sides and who keep careful account of
the behavior of each child during the
entire year. All night long, according
to their belief, this company has been
busy coloring and hiding egg. around
the house, in out of the way MS and
corners.
The first child to awaken at once
arouses the others to join in the "eier
+ suchen," for no one is allowed to begin
the search until all the brothers and
sisters are dressed and ready. Then
at signal from water" away they
start, and the halls and rooms resound
with merry shouts as the nests of col
'ored eggs are discovered and captured.
The stores are brought together and
divided equally among them.
The breakfast consists almost entire
~ of eggs, and when the meal is over
the boys and girls go off to the street
to join their playmates The game of
Ateier stoszen' is inaugurated at once.
Each child has been provided with
from five to six hard boiled eggs, and
they butt the ends together with a
sudden rap. If one egg cracks, the
owner turns it over to the child who
has done the damage; if both eggs
break. neither loses.
The building Of bonfres also consti-
dutes portion Of the morning fun.
These fires are made only for the pur-
pose Of heating pitch or. tar, which
each boy has been collecting and stor-
ing for weeks. Then they turn their
Jackets inside out and separate into
gangs, each gang to have it's own bon
fire and to war against the other The
pitch is melted on the ends of long
sticks and serves as the weapon of
warfare. Each lad will pick out an
opponent and endeavor to smear the
pitch over him without getting any
from his antagonist This sport fur
nishes considerable amusement to the
older folks, and some of the boys are
so clever that they will return from
battle, peace having been declared,
with not as much as a single daub on
their coats or faces. Others not so
well versed in the art of parrying the
strokes will emerge besmeared from
head to foot.
After the midday meal the children,
from the youngest to the eldest, are
washed and dressed in their best
clothes. If the .grossmutter und gross

remain indoors, but if not they go to
the home of their elders They are re-
ceived very formally By the grand
parents, and as each child steps for
ward he is questioned as to his health
and general conduct, and after being
admonished to continue an obedient
child or praised for some kind act he
receives a present.
In the evening comes the egg party,
and where the grandparents have a
large house the event takes place IN
der their roof. The games which make
up the fun of the evening take the
children are allowed to participate
Perhaps the most exciting sport of
the evening is the 'eier laufen." or egg
race. A course is built around the
room which takes the child over chairs
and boxes and under tables and finally
through a big barrel or box and ends
on the opposite side Of the apartment.
Six eggs are placed on the floor at the
starting point, and the child is given a
shallow wooden spoon. With this he
must take each egg and. carrying it
around the course, deposit it in a bas-
ket at the finish. He who completes
the transfer in the shortest time is de-
clared the winner. If the egg is drop
ped on the course it may be picked up
again, but a point is marked against
the contestant every time the egg falls
to the floor. The sport will keep every
one present in roars Of laughter until
the last contestant has .traversed the
course.
At the supper table each child finds
a fancy candy egg at his place, and
when the feast is over it is taken
home to dream again over the events
of the happiest day of the year.-Bos-
