Madame Midas
BY Fergus Hume


I am, how my life is unhappy, and for
you. i gave up everything for your sake

cast me off like this after all l have
sacrificed for you? Oh, speak-speak y
my DEAR said Vandeloup, gravely,
looking down at the kneeling figure with
the streaming eyes and lenched hands,

be your friend, but while you are with me
our lives will be as they have been good
by at present." touching her forehead cold

but an innumerable blaze of stars set like
diamonds in the dark blue sky. A smoky
yellowish haze hung over the city, but
down in the garden amid the flowers all
was cool and fragrant. The house was
quite dark, and a tall mulberry tree on
one side Of it was black against the clear
sky. Suddenly the door opened, and a
figure came out and closed the door softly
after it. Down the path it came, and
standing in the middle of the garden rails
ed q white tear-stained face to the dark
sky. A dog barked in the distance, and
then a fresh cold breeze came sweeping
through the trees and stirring the still
perfumes o. the flowers. The figure threw
its hands out toward the house with a
gesture of despair, then gliding down the
path it went out of the gate and stole
quietly down the lonely street.

Meddlechip did not resist, but walked
passively out of the bar with Vandeloup,
much to the establishment of the thin
gentleman, who called out to him but
without getting any answer.
Meddlechip went to the cloak room and
put on his coat and hat. Then he follow

at the door while the E'renchman hailed

Yandeloup looked at him with a pecu

said, blandly. holding the door of tho

Meddlecap glanced at him, and then,
with a sigh of resignation, entered the
cab, followed by Vandeloup.
Where to, sir?" asked the cabman,
through the trap.
.'To Leslie's Supper Rooms" replied the
Frenchman, and the cab drove of.
Leslie's Supper Rooms in Bourke
Street East were very we'll known, and
were soon reached by the two men.
Now, then, sir" said Meddlechip,

for? You must leave Australia"

will not turn me from my purpose"

deloup, in a conversational tone, with an
airy wave of his delicate white hand, sin
the good old-fashioned style of our fairy
tales. Once pom a time-let us say three
years ago-there lived in Paris a young
man called Octave Braulard, who was
well born and comfortably off. He had
a fancy to be a doctor, and was studying
for the medical profession when he be-
came acquainted with Mademoiselle Adele
Blondet. Octave Braulard," went on NJ.
Vandeloup. complacently looking at him
self, was handsome, and she fell in love
with him. Then there came to Paris an
English gentleman from Australia-name,
Kestrike position, independent; income,
enormous. He saw Adele Blondet, and
was introduce to her by Braulard: re-
suit, Kestrike betrayed his friend Brau'
lard by stealing her love from him.

IN EDWARD vIl.'S KITCHEN.
Dishes Borne by Relays Through
Mirror-Lined Corridors.

Dishes Borne by Relays
Mirror-Lined Corridors.
A system unlike that to be found
anywhere else prevails in the kitchen
where the meals of King Edward are
prepared, according to Wha. to Eat.
The royal chef is a F~renchman, paid
a liberal salary, n with free lodging
near the royal palace. 1t is his bust
ness to superintend only the kings
lunch and dinner. He has nothing
whatever to do with the breakfast.
When the dinner is to be served the
| scene i'll the kitchen is one of perfect
order and readiness. The cold dishes
which were prepared during the morn
ing stand on the table, surrounded If
necessary by ice; the birds and other
such dainties which are TO be served,
cooked to a second, are ready to hand.
Now the hors d'9uvres are sent for
ward TO an ante-room, which in the
300 yards from the kitchen. The assist.
ants are clad in spotless linen, they all
work by She clock and each dish IS
begun and finished to within a minute
of the appointed time.
The chef walks around and superin-
tends, but his assistants are SO well
drilled in their respective duties that
he seldom needs to give an order,
though here and there he offers a sug-
gestion for the further perfection of
some little dainty. During this time he
is himself thinking out the final details
| Of the masterpiece Of the table, which
he takes particularly under his own
care.
Just outside the door Of the dining
hall there is an apartment where the
final touches are given to the delicate
and costly preparations. At Bucking-
ham Palace it contains a hot table.
upon which the dishes rest in readiness
for their distribution to the table at
tendants.
The man who yields authority here
is clad in immaculate evening dress and
wears white gloves, and IN a voice
| which is rarely raised above a whisper
| he gives the minutest directions as to
| what is to be done with each particular
| item on the menu from the moment
| when it leaves the ante-room and pass
es finally from his car Relays Of men
and women bearers convey all these
dishes from the kitchen to the ante
room.
The passages from the kitchen are
long, with awkward corners In them
here and there, and in order to prevent
! collisions in the hurry of the work an
ingenious arrangement Of mirrors has
been erected at these corners, so that
| the bearers may see whether the road
is clear for them.
Attendants are strictly forbidden to
enter any other apartment than that
with which they are Immediately con-
cerned, and wen the dish bearers are
prohibited from passing down other
corridors than those which are set
apart for their special use.

The ministers of the pew Shah of Per
STA, having been slow to comply with

The first balloting in the German
Reichstag elections was not conclusive
in 100 out Of 397 constituencies, and sec
ond ballots will be necessary. 1t is said
that the socialists are encountering a
combination of all other parties. Out of
those elected on the first ballot, Al are
conservatives, 80 centrists, 20 liberals, 20
socialists and the rest scattering. In the
reballotings 90 socialist seats contested,
90 conservatives, 81 centrists and 80 lib
erals.
information received by the Presbyte-
rian board of missions indicates that the
famine in China is more serious than at
first thought. Owing to heavy rains 49,
600 square miles were flooded in the
northern districts of Kiangsu and Anhui
provinces. The district supports a popu-
lation of 100000 people, and no crops
have been gathered this fall. Thousands
arc living on one meal a day, and others
are selling their children for food; or
killing them rather han see them starve.

be submitted to the coming parliament.
The tariff commissioners of the United
States and Germany in session at Berlin
have reached a basis Upon which a com
mercial treaty can be arranged so as to
avoid a tariff war. This. however. is only
tentative, as the plan must be submitted
TO Congress and the Reichstag. In con-
seauence of this understanding, Germany
has again extended to us her minimum
tariff, although our right to it expired a
year ago.
The bill promised in the speech from
the throne at the opening of parliament
in Stockholm Jan. 1S. providing for the
introduction of universal suffrage and a
proportional electoral system for elections
to the second chamber, was introduced in
parliament.
The German government. which hereto

the Germans were not satisfied.

The report Of the Maxwell fuel contest
between New York and Boston. to show
the comparative merits of alcohol, gaso-
line and kerosene in the propulsion of au-
tomobiles, was made public recently. 1t
shows that the engines operated with al
ceisSl developed more power on hills than
those using the other fuels. The reason
was that while the initial pressure with
alcohol is less than with gasoline, the
mean effective pressure is greater. An
other advantage of alcohol was found to
be the absence of metallic pounding, caus-
ed by premature sparkling. All three of
the liquids can be used in the same car
bureter, but at It's present price alcohol
Is about two and one-half times as expen-
siye as gasoline. and over three times as
expensive as kerosene.
The test trip was made in january, be-
tween New York and Boston. with three
carr having identical motors.
