I hnd been In Farls for a couple of
piontha living at n family hotel and
nocking nbout tit my leisure when
3 mntle the acquaintance of Felix
Duchene ns he called himself He
pvns a man of about 30 and though
k Frenchman from head to heel he
ispoko English fairly well Ho wbb
not n man whom I should have select
ed as n friend and yet there was n
something nbout him which Interested
pmc He had traveled extensively met
jwlth many adventures and wns a good
ftalker I came to know him as a iniui
jof nerve and courage nnd though I
feared ho would turn out to be a para
elte nothing of the sort happened He
peemed to hnvo plenty of money of his
own and never asked for the loan of a
jfranc
- I had known Duchenc for three or
Ifour weeks when we visited a dance
Lall on one of the outer boulevards
pne night The place was a resort for
tough men and bad women and prom
ised a phase of Parisian life I had not
TnE FELLOW STRUGGLED FURIOUtLY AND
I CUT MY ARM
yet met We found a rough crowd
Indeed and the evening was not half
lover when a burly big fellow deliber
ately picked a quarrel with me I was
giving him the worst of It when ho
drew a knife nnd rushed upon me
Duchene who was standing quietly by
knocked the scoundrel senseless and
to my surprise we were not molested
by the half dozen friends of the vic
tim who had been urging him to fin
ish me I came to know later on that
the whole thing was a put up job but
I looked upon it then as a brave action
on the part of my acquaintance and
gave him my gratitude and friendship
I bad never questioned him as to why
be was in Tarls where or how ho
lived or what aim he had in life and
lie had never dropped a hint I had
a secret belief that he was a gambler
and a sharper but to mo he was as
straightforward as could be hoped for
About two weeks after the event at
the dance hall Duchenc told me his
etory or a part of It lie was a pro
fessional gambler or had been up to
a few months hefore he met me Then
bis eyesight had gono back on him nnd
bo had been obliged to abandon the
business I had observed that he was
nearsighted and had been obliged to
favor his eyes
A year before meeting me Duchene
and a partner had roped n rich young
fellow Into a game and skinned him
out of what would be about 50000 In
American money They were then
cupying rooms In a certain house he in
dicated and fearing trouble from the
victim who had declared himself de
frauded the money had been hidden
iunder the floor Troublo came Both
men were arrested and while Duchene
got a year In prison the other man died
of pneumonia while waiting his trial
On leaving prison Duchene at once
took steps to secure his money but
found the floor In possession of an ar
tificial flower maker who held a lease
Phe place could not be entered and
searched and the 50000 still rested
ibeneath the floor of the front room It
iwould take 1500 to buy the lease and
oust the flower maker and another 500
to put In a stock of something to throw
the police off the scent Duchene could
not raise the money nor bad he yet
met a man he dared trust His propo
sition to me was that I furnish the 2
OOfaud receive 10000 of the bidden
money as my reward Had he offered
ito go halves I think 1 should have look
ed upon it as n plant and thrown It
lover but In offering me a sixth portion
too seemed to show good business tact
at was a big return on the Investment
big enough to satisfy any one and I
gave him a favorable answer at once
iHe bad already sounded the flower
maker as to the lease and If my mon
ey was raised the papers could be sign
ed three days later I had n good bit
of cash at my bankers and on the sec
ond day after bearing Ducbenes story
1 drew out 2000 In gold and placed
the bag la my trunk Next day the pa
P
pers were t bo signed nnd n week lat
er the floor would be In our possession
That night the two of us nttonded
tho theater and afterward had supper
nnd 1 hnvent the slightest doubt that
my wine was dragged While 1 wns
not made helpless my head seemed ns
big ns a barrel 1 could hardly keep
my eyes open and If Duchene had not
put mo lu a cab anil Instructed the
driver I should never have found my
wny to the hotel I had to be helped
to uy room and 1 fell upon the bed
dressed ns 1 was and was Instantly
nslccp 1 had been nsleep two hours
when 1 nwoke ns keen as a fox Tho
effects of the drug had vanished and
ns I got out of bed to undress 1 found
my legs nil right ngnln 1 wns fully
undressed nnd ready to get between tho
sheets when my enr cnught n sound
from under tho bed I nt once stooped
down for a look nnd my eyes rested
upon a man lying on the btoad of his
back 1 had him out In n second It
seemed to me as If 1 hnd live times
my ordinary strength and though tho
fellow struggled furiously nnd cut my
nrm with n knife 1 grasped his throat
nnd choked him till he lay like one
dead It was only when 1 had struck
n light that I found the intruder to
bo Duchene lie hnd come In through
the window which opened on a ve
randa He had been working nt tho
lock of my trunk when I made some
noise on awakening and ho had rolled
himself under the bed He hnd como
for that bag of gold nnd he had mennt
to do for me If necessary
I nlnrmcd tho house the police were
sent for and the fellow was taken
nway but It was n good hour before
he recovered his senses Ills story was
entirely false nnd ho bad put up n
Job to rob me It was my testimony
that gnve him five years In prison but
nfter it was till over and he hnd been
sent awny I wns a bit sorry for him
He could tell a good story bad a laugh
which made you lnugli with him and
few men of his class In Paris or else
where could order a better dinner He
wns not a grasping man withal He
had planned to rob me of 2000 where
mother would have raised the figure
to 5000
The Gentle Art of Letter Writing
The classic age of letter writing like
that of chivalry Is gone although no
Burke has been found yet to utter Its
splendid funeral oration Correspond
ence on business hurried notes contain
ing invitations to dinner or acceptances
thereof these are the missives which
fill the bug of the letter carrier The
love letter we presume still holds Its
sway nnd if we are to judge from the
revelations of breach of promise cases
it Is full of sugary sentlmcntnlism as
in the days of Lydln Languish But
the letter as it has passed into litera
ture the letter whose highest claim to
bo treated as art is that It concenls art
the letter as written by William Cow
per cr Oliver Goldsmith or Horace
Wnlpoie or Miss Burney that charm
ing epistle intended only for the affec
tionate perusal of friends and yet of
such value to the historian of life nnd
manners shall we say that it has dis
appeared from the busy modern world
killed by the railway and the steam
ship and the thoughts that shnke man
kind As least it is now but a rare
product a fragile flower scarcely able
to maintain itself in our altered social
soil
Correspondence from being n cherish
ed nrt and solace lias In our day tend
ed to become what is called In slang a
grind It Is snippety like the
cheap newspapers a sort of bits or
cuts giving hints which require to bo
filled out ouly that the receiver has
hardly time for that mental process
Truth to tell a great deal of our letter
writing is boredom the source of Irrita
tion and weariness to those who are
called on to undertake It London
Spectator
From Finger to Fork
In olden times lingers served well
enough to convey food to the mouth
and a divided gourd was an acceptable
drinking vessel but when fashionable
aspirations seized our ancestors they
scorned these Implements of nnture
and even the Pacific Islanders pulled
their hair of which they had a gener
ous abundance In their anxiety to de
vise more seemly methods They final
ly manufactured forks that looked like
skewers and out of the bamboo they
manufactured knives The Indians
proverbially slow In adopting modern
ways still eat without knives or forks
although they have permitted the use
of spoons These were first made of
shells and the rinds of gourds Later
handles were inserted and having
passed numerous stages knives forks
and spoons have reached the present
elaborately ornamented kinds now In
general use
The cup Is probably the most nnclent
of all domestic utensils Its earliest
form was simply the half closed hand
or the folded leaf Then followed cups
made of sea shells or rinds of fruit cut
In halves Later appeared cups of
metal lacquer and chlnn For centu
ries the cup has been made the expres
sion of art and luxury and the most
precious metals combined with the ar
tisans most consummate skill are now
commonly employed In their manufac

When William Jennings Bryan first
went to Nebraska lie was hired to take
the stump against Tlinyer who was
running for governor nnd said some
hard things against the candidate
Tlinyer was elected Bryan Is quoted
as saying in the Chicago
After he took the governors

for n speech I did not care to go to
that banquet I did not wish to meet
the governor 1 remembered all that I
had said of him and I felt cheap But
I went nnd sat there through the early
proceedings quite uncomfortable
Finally It came time for the govern
or to call upon me He rose from his
seat with programme before him and
slowly said Mr Bryan Bryan Then
he slowly turned his eyes upon me nnd
addressed me Do you speak or sing
That is all I ever heard from Gov

EGGS BY QUART
White or Mixed In Till Wny of Mar
keting Hen lrult
Give me n quart of yolks
What are whites worth today
Send me up a gallon of mixed
Such expressions as these will be fa
miliar terms In grocery stores nnd
butcher shops in Kansas City before
long Housewives will make them so
for eggs will be sold by the pint quart
and gallon Instead of by the dozen In
fact the big confectionery establish
ments of the city buy them by the gal
lon now Kitchen economy suggested
the scheme and local packers Imme
diately took It up
How often it Is Hint a cook will
break a dozen or more eggs In order to
get the yolks to make a cake Tho
whites will be thrown away or vice
versa Why not make a saving of the
whites or yolks as tho case may be
was suggested The packers put the
question to the confectioners nnd tho
latter saw tho point Now when a
confectioner wants to make stuff with
the yolks ho sends to n packing house
and buys yolks by the gallon If ho
wants to use the whites for some
thing he sends for them If he wants
to use both he sends and gets a mixed
can It is predicted that housewives
will soon adopt the same method
With this new system of handling
hen fruit there Is absolutely no loss
The eggshells are even used They
are ground up and sold for chicken

A certain well to do housekeeper in
West Chester discovered one day last
week thnt there wasnt a grain of pen
per In the house She always had her
groceries sent to her from a big Phila

she was lu the liablt of patronizing a
West Chester grocer whose store was
near by Therefore she condescended
to call up the local giocer by telephone
and place with him her order for a
quarter of a pound of pepper to be do
livered at once The giocer Is a pa
tient man and he talked very politely
over the telephone Afterward how
ever he swore then lie laughed lie
laughed loud and long and remarked
to himself occasionally Good Idea
Thats rich
About half an hour later the well to
do housekeeper was somewhat sur
prised to see a great clumsy dray drive
up before her door and hack up to the
curb lu the middle of the dray was
a tiny package done up lu yellow pa
per The drayman after taking partic
ular care to get his huge wagon in
proper position adjusted the boaid
fioin the tailboard to the house steps
and with a thick stanchion proceeded
to slowly pry the tiny package off the
dray With Infinite cue he rolled It
on to the step the amazed housekeeper
meanwhile watching the proceeding
from the doorway Then the drayman
soberly presented tho grocers bill for
the quarter pound of pepper and drove
