FOR BEAUTY, NOT PLUMBING
French Chateau
(cans Remove
ments They
Owner Had Amei
Modern Improve
Had Installed.
In our anxiety to get results In
France we were often tnetless from a
French point of view. This cause of
Irritation was exaggerated by our gen
eral Ignorance of tho language. I won
der If the American schools, after this,
will teach ns stieaklng French Instead
of the book French they taught In my
generation?
And we ran Into certain French
peculiarities which we found It hard to
understand. For example, enrly In our
war a fine old chntean near Bordeaux
was leased for a headquarters. By the
terms of the lease we were to leave
everything exactly ns we found It.
The chateau In Its four or Ave huridred
years of existence had never known
sanitary plumbing; tho owners bathed
In wash basins or rubber tubs. Ex
pecting to stay a long tlmo we In
stalled, by permission, drains, bath
tubs, toilets, a water-heating system.
When, last Janilury, we ended the
lease and moved out the ofllcer who
conducted the business offered to lcavo
tho plumbing where It was, slnco Its
removal would cost as much as It was
worth. Tho French owner refused. Wo
had to tako out our plumbtng. What
ho wanted from that chateau was not
sanitation, but venerablo beauty, and
tho sense that he dwelt In the same
Identical home as his ancestor of the
tenth generation back.
The American finds It bard to under
stand such a point of view; and ho Is
a bit brusque In expressing his opinion
thereon. Will Irwin la the Saturday

Pocftlbly Less Than Half the People
of the Ottoman Empire Have
Moslem Ancestry.
"Probably less than hnlf of the men.
women and children culled Turks owe
their ancestry to the Mongol and Mos
lem tribesmen who migrated from In
ner Asia to Anatolia," says George E.
White, D. D., In the American Itovlew
of Reviews. "Probably the larger part
are of ancestry once reckoned Chris.
tlan. This Is confirmed by the fact
that the physical characteristics of
Mongols have largely faded out. They
visibly persist In some, notably In Tar
tars Immigrant from tho Crimea or
the Balkan states, whose lineage is
comparatively pure. This but emph
sizes the differences In tho case of tho
Anatolian stock.
"In the heart of what we call the
Turkish empire approximately one
fourth of the population are avowedly
Christian; approximately a fourth of
the remainder, the Shlas, are nearer
in sentiment to Christians than to
regular Mohammedans;-u majority of
the whole are of Christian origin.
Force has held them together until
now, but 'blood will tell,' and the prin
ciple of 'reversion to type' cannot
be escaped. After careful observu
tlons continued 'during ninny years of
residence in tho country I am con
vlnced that the Mohammedan Turks
do not Increase in numbers, possibly as
the penalty of nature for the permls
don of polygamy, while the Ottoman
Christians do Increase rapidly unless
checked by periods of massacre. If,
then, some two million to five million
Mongol immigrants filtered into Asia
Minor, their descendants possibly
reach those numbers today; the rest
of the population la to be credited with
Christian uncestry."

Aunt Jane leaned over an open chestJ
In the garret.
"What's thlsJ" she queried, hauling
out some white material.
Reekie, her niece, drew her brows to
gether. "That's the bureau scarf I started
lost winter. You didn't liko the pat
tern, so I dropped it."
"H'm," said Aunt Jane. "What's
this?" Sho pulled out something gay
with colors.
"Oh, that's tho table runner. T got
so sick of it I never finished tho thing."
"H'm. And this?" Another article
was brought to light.
"Goodness rae. I started that shirt
waist over n year ago. I'd forgotten
all about It."
"Since you were old enough to re
member," commenced Aunt Jane, "I
have tried to Impress on you-the value
of finlhlug what you commence."
"Do what you set out to do. tfhls
applies to greater things than bu
reau scarfs nnd shirtwaists. If you
know a thing Is right, go abend with
It."
"But, auntie," Interrupted Beckle,
this time successfully. "How am I to
know that I can trust my own Judg
ment?" "Your conscience will tell you."
Beekle, sitting humped over the toy
of n trunk, pondered deeply.
"Then," she said finally, "If I start
to do (Something that I am 'sure Is
right, I should not allow even you
even you, nuntic to swerve me from
my purpose?"
"Exactly," returned her nunt, with
a pleased nod. "Lot's go down now. I
want to take a nnp.
The nap lengthened Into a regular
snooze. Aunt Jane wnsa sound sleep
er. She was aroused finally by knock'
lng on the door.
"It's hnlf-past four," called Beckle.
Aunt Jane arose hurriedly. Her slm
pie toilet did not tnke many minutes,
Giving n final hurried dab at her tight
ly twisted pug of gray hair, sho moved
toward the door. To her astonish
mcnt, It wns locked. She rattled the
knob vigorously.
"Beckle," she called.
"I'm so sorry," spoke a small voice
close to the keyhole, "but I'm doing
what you told me to do."
"Unlock this door," demanded Aunt
Jane sternly.
"I can't."
'!Vhnt do you menn?"
. "Not until you promise me some
thing," said Beckle meekly. "My heart
tells me I am right. This Is the only
way. I've begged and begged and
prayed ; but you have always said no."
Aunt Jane's hands sank limply to
her sides. Beckle had wittingly mndo
her a prisoner. "
"Beckle Stowell, lot me out this In
stant. -
"I will," came the pleading voice,
"If.. you'll- say that I may marry
Pwlght."
"Never," she raged. "Does that
that whlpporsnnpper know you have
done this?"
"No." In breathless haste. "I just
asked him to come to supper tonight
told him I had a real nice surprise fqr
him."
"A real nice surprise," mimicked
Aunt Jane; then, after u slight pause
"He will get It."

Aunt Jnne leaned weakly against
the door, her thoughts In such turmoil
that she was momentarily stricken
dumb. The minister duo nt six. The
table not set. The biscuits . In an
outburst of despairing rage, she beat
on the door with her clenched fists.
"Beckle 1" she shrieked. "Beckle 1'
No reply. From the distant down
stairs came little clattering sounds ns
of dishes being moved.
"It's twenty minutes of six, Aunt
Jane."
"My biscuits 1" walled Aunt Jane,
"You wicked girl. I shall never forgive
you ns long ns I live."
These bitter words evoked n little
sob from the free side of tho door.

swept away suddenly In a flood tldo of
love. She could never think of
Beckle other than a child. That was
why she would never listen to her talk
of marrying.
"It's ten minutes of six," plended
Beckle. "Oh I heard the gate click

For twci days Nelson Wade had been
a guost at the one hotol nt Leosvllle.
Hewns sa reserved and unobtrusive
and so.pci -istent In not going out ex
cept after dark that the bonlfuce at
tho hblteliy wus divided between the
surnllsos iisjo his being a detective or
bank burglar. Not that poor Wado
resembled either of the Ilk Indicated,
for a more forlorn individual it would
have been hard to find.
Nelson had come from Dover, 50
miles dlsiiint, nnd his forlornness
harked bails directly to that quiet lit
tle town. 'llior& he bnd lived from
boyhood, there he hnd met nnd loved
pretty, vivacious Nettle Mercer nnd
had become engaged to her. Now that
delightful partnership was rudely sun
dered, nntl Nelson deemed himself the
most wretched of mankind.
A silly quarrel had led to the deso-
lnt!6n thnt now filled his aching heart.
Fiery Jealous and resentful, Nettle had
called her recreant lover to time be
cause ho had gone with a girl visiting
his sister In search of early violets on
Honeysuckle hill.
"You mndo sure not to bring mp nny
of the spring bcnutlesl" she told him,
and before Nelson could explain to
Nettle that the girl was to bo mar
ried In a mouth and that he only
showed her the most ordinary courtesy
as' a guest of his sister nnd that their
errand had been bootless, not one vio
let having been garnered. Nettle drew
tho engagement ring from her finger,
threw It at his feet and flounced from
tho room.
Nelson did not pick up the circlet,
nor did he stay to plend forgiveness,
for he had done no wrong. Nor did
ho lower his dignity by glossing over
what he considered very reprehensible
action on the part, of Nettle. Ho went
to the city for a week, leaving her to
think over her Irrational jealousy and
temper. When he came buck ills con
fidence In her "cooling down" was con
siderably abashed.
"Nettle has gone to spend two
months with our relatives, the Doancs,
nt Lcesvllle," her sister explained to
him. "There Is a gentleman at Lces
vllle, too, she thinks a great deal of."
The gentleman In question was a
married cousin of Nettle, but her
maneuvering sister, older and wiser,
minded not Invention and a trifling de
celt to place the lovers on the road
to making up and behaving themselves.
Nelson found himself sunk Into utter
despondency at tho unexpected turn
affairs hud taken.
"Yes," he soliloquized, "I'll go to
Leesvllle. I'll mnnuge to como across
Nettle. I'll give her the violets nnd
tell her thnt, like them, my heart Is
withering nnd and I'll do It on my
knees, If necessary, for I cannot live
without her I"
And thus It wns that Nelson hnd
gone to Leesvllle, but to find his night
ly rambles of no avail. He hud locatod
the home of the Donnes, and hud hung
around it two whole evenings with
out catching a glimpse of Nettle, The
third evening he learned from an over
heard conversation of two . of tho
Doune girls In the garden that", Nettle
was sick In bed with u bud cold and
hod been confined to her room over
since her urrlvnl.
Just nt dusk two evenings later,
trailing past tho high rear fenco of tho
Doano grounds, the henrt of the long'
lng lover thrilled mightily as he noted
near a little rustic bovver n shnvvled
figure passing to and fro.' It was tho
first outdoor exercise the Invalid Net
tie had taken. Sho was alone. What
wos a more fence, high mountains,
castles, nny obstacle, to the Impetuous
penitent I
Nelson scaled tho high palings, got
over the top. There was a creak,
crnck, a crash, and he landed on the
other side In the garden, prone nnd
senseless. A servnnt coming from the
house uttered a sharp scream as she
noted the castastropho.
"Oh, Miss Mercer!" she cried out;
'someone Is hurt. Quick I quick I"
and Nettle came hurrying to the spot.
It was Just light enough to make out
the features of the prostrate Invader,
Then Nettle echoed the distraction of
I lie muiil.
"Oh, lie muy be killed 1" wailed the
frantic Nettle. "Hnsten to Mrs. Doano
and telephone for a doctor," and then
ns tho servant fled toward the house
Nettle throw herself upon the ground
beside her unconscious lover, lifted his
head Into her lap and swayed and
roooned dismally:
"If he should die and all my fault t'
she walled. "Oh, Nelson! my poor,
wronged darling I"
Nelson Wndo opened his eyes. Tho
tirst thing he noted was the gleam of
lie engagement ring on Nettle's linger,
no had leaned over to kiss him on
lie cheek. He smiled. Ho drew from
ids pocket the faded violets.
"I enmo for forgiveness," he begau
"It was nil my fault I" she whim
vred.
"Now, then, a cold bandage and the
caMphor, sounded tho voice of Mrs
Uimnc, her hands filled with bandages
ami bottles. "First aid until tho doc
tor comes."
But "first aid" had been already
udmlnlstcred effectively, nnd Nelson
arose with u great contented grin
on
his, face, which Nettle emphasized
with n Kiiille rnvlshlngly radiant and
full of contentment.
