Returning to the kitchen proper. the
head pantryman has his own depart
ment, enclosed, with an open counter
upon which he may set the plates with
the orders filed from his supplies.
Upon the shelves were iced shortcake'
pastry of many kinds, with olives
pickles. sliced lemon, saited almonds
and other appetizers. All orders To
be filed are made In duplicate. one
copy to be kept for reference, If neces'
sary. They are numbered consecu'
lively. and bear the walters name. the
number of the order. the food and the
portions wanted. The checkers desk
is circular and bears numbers in Eng
lish and Chinese characters corre'
spending to the walters numbers, and
each man must present his order at his
own number, and to no other. This
simple arrangement. in its entirety
makes it an easy matter to trace and
refer to an order.
The menus for each day are MADE
out by the chef. Louis Chevalier. and
submitted to the manager, Mr.. J. II.
Hertsche. who makes any changes he
thinks advisable. OF course the menu
depends upon the markets. and, even
in this land of endless summer, upon
the seasons.
Mr. Chevalier. the chef, is highly
skilled in his fine and most important
art. He was for four years night chef
at the waldorf-Astoria hotel in New
York. and has been head chef at the
Imperial hotel and the Atlantic Club

are ready to serve as promptly as pos
sible.
The doors of each sauce box bears
two labels indicating it's contents, one
in English and one in Chinese-all SER
wants in the kitchen and dining room
being of that nationality, while the
house staff are japanese.
The meats in quantity are kept in
large cold storage chamber in the base
ment, and are carried by an automatic
elevator to the kitchen-which it has
not been explained, is on the top floor
of the hotel There are two others,
one connecting with the hotel proper
and one with the groundfoor cafe.
The kitchen IS also supplied with tele-
phones, not only connecting with all
parts of the hotel, but with all others
listed in the exchange directory.
Two smart Chinese boys are in
charge of the silver pantry which is
arranged with lockers built into the
walls. each tureen, tea and coffee pot,
with a fixed number of spoons and
forks, are placed each in its own small
compartment lined with soft BLACK
cloth. All tea and coffee pots are
cleansed each morning with hot water
and soda, to remove the stain. Every
part of the kitchen, including silver
and china closets, is inspected carefully
each day.

1t is the custom of human beings to
take most things for granted The
guests in a great hotel occupy their
rooms, order their meals, confident OF
being served and, if all is to their llk-
ing. give it no further thought. Yet,
the hotel is a great world, with num'
sberIess laws of it's own, carefully franz
ed and scrupu1ously executed, SO far
as this can be achieved.
The store rooms and Kitchens of the
Alexander Young Hotel constitute a
distinct and important department.
with their trained staff, from the pan
tries to the checkers desk, each in his
place, attending to the work assigned
him with the obedience and prompt-
ness of a disciplined soldier.
1t will be reassuring to many, who
might be disposed to think otherwise,
where such great and varied quantities
of food must be prepared, to know that
there is not corner in the great
kitchen of the big hotel that would not
bear the closest examination at any
moment of the day or night The
white-gloved fingers of a military in
spector might be passed over shelves
and tables and still show no signs of
soiiing. The floor is mosaic exactly like
that of the corridors and dining room,
and is frequently scrubbed. In the
center are the open fires for broii-
ing; near al hand are the great coppers
in which vegetables and soups are
cooked by steam, with smaller vessels
of the same metal for the preparation
of sauces. Copper is used for ali
utensils instead of tin because of it's
durability. All the tin vessels must
be frequently refined and this is done
in the workshop n the hotel, which
is department of itself of which few
people are aware.
The dishes. plates cUps. saucers
everything required for the serving of
ed by steam coils, and the food is trans
ferred from the cooking vessels to the
heated dishes placed upon steam
table so that they have no chance to
cool. With this preparation for the
serving of hot dishes, there are ac-
eommodations, quite as ample, for pre-
serving meats, game, poultry and fish.
These are stored in what are called
sauce-boxes, which are, in reality,
closets of moderate size with heavy,
air-tight doors. The pipes through
which the cold air passes are at the
back and are constantly covered with
thick layer of frost. Each sauce
box must be kept at a fixed tempera-
ture, according to the nature of the
stores. That in which eggs and tin
ned meats are placed, is kept at
temperature of 45 degrees, since, while

smoked meat, at the time they were

your hellhound of the seas and
asked you to spare the life of my
only child, so I shall answer yours. :"
Now the lord understands, and
now he recognizes the man, and
in the anguish of his heart and in
the teeth of death itself, he grasps
his child and cries out: ooh
heaven, oh merciful God, save
Mary my only ohild!'
At the name of the child, which
he now heard for the first time,
the pilot relents, seems to fight a
desperate fight with himself, and
finally drives the rudder hard

from the dangers of death and
reaches safely the shore, where
the family of the lord are taken
good care of by one of the best
families of the place. On the
morning of the following day, the
lord with his wife and child made
a call upon the pilot to offer him
thanks and reward. But he de-.
clined. Then the lord took from
his finger very costly ring, decked
with diamonds, rubies and bril-
liants and wanted the pilot to wear
it as token of the high esteem
they felt for him. But gave back
the ring, with the remark, that it
would not fit a tanned hand like
his. Then he pointed to the child
and said: "She was all that saved
you, when in your worst plight.
And he turned on his heels and
left them.

After Tim had his laugh, he rode
to town for some clothes. We
never went after our own. I saw
an Indian wearing some of mine a
short time afterwards. We were
laid up for week before our eyes
opened enough for us to see. Hank
did not give me the threshing he
promised, for he thought I had got
punishment enough. The reader
can see from this incident that it
doesn't pay to get another into
trouble. Sometimes he will get
