MAN AND THE CHAFING DISH.
He Can Cook Bettor Than HU Wife, Bo*
cause Mora Confident.
Octave Thanet says that men use a
chafing dish better than women. Per
haps it Is because there is a gaudy tri
umph about chafing dish processes
which there is not in other cooking ex
ploits. Men never like to work behind
a screen. They enjoy the tumult and
the Crowd and the cheering when they
strike a telling blow. A woman is
nervous to see a dozen eyes on her. Her
ears tingle at the good-natured com
ments. She is frightened, she loses
confidence in herself. She looks fur
tively across the table at the man for
r whom she cares for more than
all the rest, and he is telling
the lady who gives such charming din
ners that he must send his wife over
, to her for a series of lessons—and it is
all over for the poor creature at the
alcohol lamp. If she be wise she will
tip the lamp over and cover her retreat.
A man’s seK-confldence is of stouter
fibre. He isn’t looking at his wife, he
Is looking at his dish; if any ingredient
be missing to call loud and spare not—
for that was voice given; naturally ho
gets everything, whether he has for
gotten anything or no, and the entire
i: service of the meal stops until he has
had his will. A man will have two
maids and a large stately butler run
> ning about the waiting room on his
preparation of terrapin a la Maryland,
or lobster a la Newberg; and he will be
no whit embarrassed. A woman is
scared to interrupt’ the feast by with
drawing one servant And the man is
right and the woman is wrong; for peo
ple can wait for their wine or their
sauces, but an alcohol flame waits on
no man. But the difference between
man and woman as cooks is too near
other burning questions for one to dis
cuss with the th^"*"'■meter *t 99.

, CHAPTER XIII.—(Contisued.)
"I'll have the law for this," he
growled. “I ain't paid to he beaten by
a madman.”
"You’re paid to do my work, not an
other’s,” said Carriston. “Go to the
man who has overbribed you and sent
you to tell me your lies. Go to him,
tell him that once more he has failed.
Out of my sight!”
As Carriston showed signs of recom
mencing hostile operations, the man
lied as far as the doorway. There, be
ing in comparative safety, he turned
with a malignant look.
“You’ll smart for this,” he said;
“when they lock you up as a raving
lunatic I’ll try and get a post as keep
er.”
I was glad to see that Carriston paid
no attention to this parting shaft. He
turned hir back scornfully, and the
fellow left the room and the house.
“Now are you convinced?” asked
Carriston, turning to me.
“Convinced of what? That his tale
is untrue, or that he has been misled,
I am quite certain.”
iu8n: 'mat is not worth consider
ation. Don't you see that Ralph has
done all this? I set that man to watch
him; he found out the espionage; sub
orned my agent, or your agent I should
say; sent him here with a trumped-up
tale. Oh, yes; I was to believe that
Madeline had deserted me—that was to
drive me out of my senses. My cousin
is a fool after all!”
“Without further proof I cannot be
lieve that your suspicions are correct,”
I said; but I must own I spoke with
some hesitation.
“Proof! A clever man like you ought
to see ample proof in the fact of that
wretch having twice called me a mad
man. I have seen him but once before
—you know if I then gave him any
grounds for making such an assertion.
Tell me, fgrom whom could he. have
learnt the word except from Ralph Car
riston?"
I was bound, if only to save my own
reputation for sagacity, to confess that
the point noted by Carriston had raised
certain doubts in my mind. But if
Ralph Carriston really was trying by
some finely-wrought scheme to bring
about what he desired, there was all
the more reason for great caution to be
exercised.
“I am sorry you beat the fellow,” I
said. “He will now swear right and
left that you were not in your senses.”
“Of course he will? What do I care?"
“Only remember this. It is easier to
get put into an asylum than to get out
of it.”
“It is not so very easy for a sane
man like me to be put in, especially
when he is on his guard. I have looked
up the law. There must be a certifi
cate signed by two doctors, surgeons—
or, I believe, apothecaries will do—
who have seen the supposed lunatic
alone and together. I’ll take pretty
good care I speak to no doctor. save
yourself, and keep .out of the way. of
surgeons and apothecaries.”
It quite cheered me to hear him
speaking so sensibly and collectedly
about himself, but I again impressed
upon him the need for great caution.
Although I could not believe that his
cousin had taken Madeline away, I was
inclined to think, after the affair with
the spy, that, as Carriston averred,
he aimed at getting him, sane or inBane,
Into a mad-house.
But after all these days we were not
a step nearer to the discovery of Made
line's whereabouts. Carriston made no
sign of doing anything to facilitate that
discovery. Again I urged him to in
trust the whole affair to the police.
Again he refused to do so, adding that
he was not quite ready. Ready for
what, I wondered!
XIV.
MUST confess, in
spite of my affec
tion for Carriston,
I felt inclined to re
bel against the
course -which mat
ters were taking. I
was a prosaic, mat
ter-of-fact medical
man, doing my
work to the best of
my ability, and
anxious when that work was done that
my hours of leisure would be as free
from worry and care as possible. With
Carriston’s advent several disturbing
elements entered into my quiet life.
Let Ralph Carriston be guilty or in
nocent of the extraordinary crime
which his cousin laid at his door, I
felt certain that he was anxious to ob
tain possession of the supposed luna
tic’s person. It would suit his pur
poses for his cousin to be proved mad.
I did not believe that, even if the cap"
ture was legally effected, Carriston’s
liberation would be a matter of great
difficulty so long as he remained in his
present state of mind; so long as I, a
doctor of some standing, could go into
the witness box and swear to his san
ity. But my old dread was always with
me—the dread that any further shock
would overturn the balance of his sen
sitive mind.
So it was that every hour that Car
riston was out of my sight was fraught
with anxiety. If Ralph Carriston was
really as unscrupulous as my friend
supposed; if he had reall, as seemed
almost probable, suborned our agent,
he might by some crafty trick obtain
i the needful certificate, and some day
I should come home and find Carriston
had been removed. In such a case I
foresaw great trouble and distress.
Besides, after all that had occurred,
it was as much as I could do to believe
that Carriston was not mad. Any doc
tor who knew what I knew would have
given the verdict against him.
After dismissing his visions and hal
luclnatons wth the contempt which
they deserved, the fact of a man who
was madly, passionately in love with a
woman, and who believed that she had
been entrapped and was still kept in
restraint, sitting down quietly, and let
ting day after day pass without mak
ing an effort toward finding her, was in
itself prima facie evidence of insanity.
A sane man would at once have set all
tin engines of detection at work.
I felt that if once Ralph Carriston
obtained possession of him he could
make out a strong case in his own
favor. First of all, the proposed mar
riage out of the defendant's own sphere
of life; the passing under a false name;
the ridiculous, or apparently ridicu
lous, accusation made against his kins
man; the murderous threats; the chas
tisement of his own paid agent who
brought him a report which might not
seem at al luntrue to anyone, who knevtt
not Madeline Rowan. Leaving out of
the question what might be wrung from
me in cross-examination, Ralph Car
riston had a strong case, and I knew
that, once in his power, my friend
might possibly be doomed to pass
years, if not his whole life, under re
straint. So I was anxiouB, very anx
ious.
Ana i reit an anxiety, scarcely sec
ond to that which prevailed on Car
rieton’s account, as to the fate of Mad
eline. Granting for sake of argument
that Carriston’s absurd conviction that
no bodily harm had as yet been done
her, was true, I felt sure that she with
her scarcely less sensitive nature must
feel the separation from her lover ns
much as he himself felt the separation
from her. Once or twice I tried to
comfort myself with cynicism—tried to
persuade myself that a young woman
could not in our days he spirited away
—that she had gone by her own free
will—that there was a man who had at
the eleventh hour alienated her affec
tions from Cariston. But I could not
■bring myself to believe this. So I was
placed between the horns of a dilem
ma.
If Madeline had not fled of her own
free will, someone must have taken her
away, and If so our agent’s report-was
a coined one, and, if a coined one, is
sued at Ralph’s instance; therefore
Ralph must be the prime aqtor in the
mystery.
But in sober moments snbb Vded|ic-.
tion seemed an utter Absurdity. " 1 ~
Although I have said thfttlCarrlston
was doing nothing towards clearing up
the mystery, f wronged him in so sav
ing.. After his own erratic way he was
at work. At such work too! I really
lost all patience with him.
He shut himself up in his room, out
of which he scarcely stirred for three
days. By that time he had completed
a large and beautiful drawing of his
imaginary man. This he took to a
well-known photographer’s, and or
dered several hundred small photo
graphs of it to be prepared as soon as
possible. The minute description
which he had given me of his fanciful
creation was printed at the foot of each
copy. As oon as the first batch of
these precarious photographs was sent
home, to my great joy he did what he
should have done days ago: yielded to
my wishes, and put the matter into the
hands of the police.
I was glad to find that in giving de
tails of what had happened he said
nothing about the advisability of keep
ing a watch on Ralph aCrriston’s pro
ceedings. He did indeed offer an ab
surdly large reward for the discovery
of the missing girl, and, moreover,
gave the officer in charge of the case a
packet of photographs of his phantom
man, telling him in the gravest manner
that he knew the original of that like
ness had something to do with the dis
appearance of Miss Rowan. The offi
cer, who thought the portrait was that
of a natural being, took his instructions
in good faith, although he seemed
greatly surprised when he heard that
Carrlston knew neither the name nor
the occupation, in fact knew nothing
concerning the man who was to be
sought for. However, as Carrlston as
sured him that finding this man would
Insure the reward as much as if he
found Madeline, the officer readily
promised to combine the two tasks,
little knowing what waste of time any
attempt to perform the latter must be.
Two days after this Cariston came to
nte. “I shall eave you to-morrow,” he
said.
“Where are you going?” I asked.
"Why do you leave?”
“I am going to travel about. I have
no intention of letting Ralph get holdl
of me. So I mean to go from place to
place until I find Madeline.”
“Be careful,” I urged.
“I shall be careful enough. I’ll take
care that no doctors, surgeons, or even
apothecaries get on my track. I shall
go just as the fit seizes me. It I can't
say one day where I shall be the next,
it will be impossible for that villain to
know.”
This was not a bad argument. In
fact, if he carried out his resol vo of
passing quickly from place to place, I
did not see how he could plan anything
more likely to defeat the intentions
with which we credited his cousin. As
to his finding Madeline by so doing,
that was another matter.
His idea seemed to be that chancee
would sooner or later bring him in con
tact with the man of his dream. How
ever, now that the search had been In
trusted to the proper persons, his own
action in the matter was not worth
troubling about. I gave him many
cautions. He was to be quiet and
guarded in words and manner. He
wao not to converse with strangers.
If he found himself dogged or watched
by anyone, he was to communicate at
once with me. But, above all, I begged
| him not to yield again to his mental
infirmity. The folly of a man who
could avoid it throwing himself Into
such a state ought to be apparent to
him.
"Not oftener than I can help,’’ was
all the promise I could get from him.
"But see her I must sometimes, or I
shall die.”
I had now given up as hopeless the
combat with his peculiar idiosyncrasy.
So, with many expressions of gratitude
on his part, we bade each other fare
well.
During his absence he wrote to me
nearly every day, so that I might know
his whereabouts in case I had any
news to communicate. But I had none.
The polio e failed to find the slightest
clew. I had. been called upon by them
once or twice in order that they might
have every grain of Information I could
give. I took the liberty of advising
them not to waste their time in look
ing for the man, as his very existence
was problematical. It was but a fancy
of my friend’s, and not worth thinking
seriously about. I am not sure but
what after hearing this they did not
think the whole affair was an Imagined
one, and so relaxed their efforts.
Once or twice, Carriston, happening
to be In the neighborhood of London,
came to see me, and slept the night at
my house. He also had no news to
report. Still, he seemed hopeful as
ever.
The weeks went by until Christmas
was over and the New Year had begun;
but no sign, word, or trace of Madeline
Rowan. “I have seen her," wrote Car
rleton, “several times. She is in the
same place—unhappy, but not ill-treat
ed."
Evidently his hallucinations were
still in full force.
At first I intended that the whole of
this tale should be told by myself; but
upon getting so far it struck me that
the evidence of another actor who
played an Important part in the drama
would give certain occurrences to the
reader at first instead of a second hand,
so I wrote to my friend Dick Fenton,
of Frenchay, Gloucestershire, and
begged him, if he felt himself qapable
of so doing, to put in elmple narrative
form his impressions of certain events,
which happened in January, 1866;
eventB in which we two were concerned.

Floating Metals.
If a small rod of iron—a straight
piece of wire, for Instance—be greased,
u can be made to float on water. The
grease apparently prevents the break
ing of the surface of the water and the
iron lies cradled in a slight depression
or trough. Recently Dr. A. M. Mayer,
experimenting with rods and rings of
iron, tin, copper, brass, platinum, alu
minum, German silver, etc., found that
all metals, even the densest, will float
on water when their surfaces are
chemically clean. A perfectly clean
piece of copper or platinum wire, for
instance, forms a trough for itself on
the surface of water Just as If it were
greased. The same is true of a small
rod of glass. Doctor Mayer believes
the floating is due to a film of air con
densed on the surface of the glass or
metal, becauee if the rod be heated to
rednesB, and as soon aB it cools, be
placed on water, it will sink, but If it
be exposed to the air for a short time
it will float.

plantation and directed the men at

of his countenance. "Put,” said he,
