The Simple Dish That Keeps Cne Vig

When the doctor takes his own
medicine and the grocer eats the food
he recommends some confidence comes
to the observer
A Grocer of Ossian Ind had a
practical experience with food worth
anyones attention
He says Six years ago I became
eo weak from stomach and bowel
trouble that I was finally compelled
to give up all work in my store and
in fact all sorts of work for about four
years The last year I was confined to
the bed nearly all of the time and
much of the time unable to retain
food of any sort on my stomach My
bowels were badly constipated con
tinually and I lost in weight from
IGo pounds down to S8 pounds
When at the bottom of the ladder
I changed treatment entirely and
started in on Grape Nuts and cream
for nourishment I used absolutely
nothing but this for about three
months I slowly improved until 1
got out of bed and began to move
about
1 have been improving regularly
and now in the past two years have
been working about fifteen hours a
day in the store and never felt better
in my life
During these two years i have
never missed a breakfast of Grape
Nuts and cream and often have it
two meals a day but the entire break
fast is always made of Grape Nuts and
cream alone
Since commencing the use of
Grape Nuts I have never used any
thing to stimulate the action of the
bowels a thing I had to do for years
but this food keeps me regular and in
fine shape and I am growing stronger
and heavier every day
My customers naturally have been
interested and I am compelled to an
swer a great many questions about
Grape Nuts
Some people would think that a
simple dish of Grape Nuts and cream
would not carry one through to the
noonday meal but it will and in th
most vigorous fashion

CHAPTER VI
It was the night of December 19
1793 with a cold storm of wind and
rain making still cosier the living
room of the cottage where not far
from the flames of the wood fire that
made more ruddy the neatly kept red
of the brick hearth Margot sat spin
ning while Jean curled up in a big
chair opposite watched idly as many
times before her deft fingers smooth
and twist the flax
Hast thou heard aught of Langue
doc since we left he inquired
Wondering what new mood had tak
en hold of the boy that he should
bring up matters of which she had
never ventured to speak but relieved
as well to feel that she might now im
part to him information she had re
ceived some time before Margot re
plied Yes The chateau has been
closed since the month after we left
with only Tatro there as keeper for
Monsieur Etienne has returned to
Paris where he is in high favor with
the Great Committee
Teste The word half sigh and
half hiss was full of vindictiveness
Then the dagger did but slight injury
after all for all the rust on its blade
that would surely have poisoned bet
ter blood even if the thrust had not
let out life
Jean Jean do not speak so cried
Margot looking aghast Surely thou
couldst never really wish to kill thy
brother I always claimed that the
act was only because of thy mad
dened brain and with good cause as
any one with heart and feeling must
admit
He is no brother of mine de
clared the boy his face kindling into
a fury of rage Never you say such
a thing again Margot My name is
not his nor is he any kin of Jean La
fitte
She made no attempt to calm him
but her face was troubled as she re
sumed her work
which was to light them to their cham
bers above
They parted as usual for the night
little thinking that this was to be the
last of earths nights for one of them
3
It was the next morning the morn
ing after the flamelit awful night that
witnessed the capture of Toulon by
the Revolutionists
There is no need to repeat the story
which history has told of its horrors
of the bombardment and assault of
the unspeakable woe that was visited
upon those shut up within the doomed
city The night was past and now
had come the grief and sorrow of the
living to fill the day with tears for
the dead now had come the moans
and cries of the mangled and dying
In one of the lower rooms of a
small partially burned house not far
from the blackened ruins of her own
cottage lay Margot who had been
killed while she and the boys were
making preparations for flight to a
place of greater safety
The three were in the living room
where her whirring wheel had filled
the peaceful silence cf the evening be
fore She had made up the bundle
each one was to carry taking pains
that Jean should conceal upon his per
son the money intrusted to her by the
baron when a large piece of shell
tore its way into the room and entered
her breast killing her instantly
Scarcely had the boys realized this
when they found the cottage to be on
fire over their heads But they had
time to half carry half drag Margots
body to the street and thence to the
house where it now lay stretched
upon a rough bench and covered by a
blanket in this bare room filled with
men women and children whom fire
had rendered homeless during the
night
Outside before the house stood a
file of soldiers in the uniform ot the
Revolutionary troops at whom the
homeless ones within stared

Pizarro my Pizarro he cried springing forward
Hark to the wind how it pipes
Sacre What a storm exclaimed
Pierre rousing again from his book
as there came a dash of rain upon the
windows while a blast roared over the
cottage and sent a brisk puff down the
chimney
Tis indeed a dreadful storm Mar
got agreed as she now drew her wheel
farther away from the fireplace But
there is one good thing to it
What good can there be in such
a storm as this queried Jean who
was hoping it had not reached far
enough westward to affect the comfort
of her whose beautiful face was so
often in his thoughts
It will put a stop to the bloodshed
for a time at least The best and
bravest soldiers would scarce think to
fight in such weather as this replied
Margot showing rare ignorance of
facts
Little would they heed so that it
did not wet their powder asserted
Jeart assuming an air of superior wis
dom
She looked at him thoughtfully for
a moment before she said in a voice
whose yearning seemed tinged with
hope If thoult grow up to be a good
man Jean thoult some day make a
brave soldier
One can be brave without being
good answered the boy his natural
waywardness asserting itself although
he met her earnest eyes smilingly
Your little colonel whom we all
love he has the bravery I mean
Surely thou must own tis well to be
such a man she insisted
Aye the boy said with a defiant
smile but I will be more like Laro
Laro Margot repeated her pa
tience now giving place to anger The
saints keep us from living to see thee
grow to be such a villain as Laro
Dost know Jean these days it seems
to me thourt like a soul between
Heaven and Hell The man we all
love is thy good angel Laro is thy
bad one and betwixt the two art thou
thiP night I feel tis for thee to say
which of them shall lead thee to thy
future
Never mind Laro to night he re
plied stroking her cheek lovingly
He is now far off over the seas and
may never again see Franco nor I
see him
I would be happier if I were certain
of that she said taking up the candle
hensively as the sergeant in command
stood listening to a woman who had
guided him and his men to their pres
ent halting place
In there you will find them she
said in a dull apathetic way pointing
to the door and with them is the
dead body of their mother or whoever
she was
The sergeant thanked her and
after bidding his soldiers to stand
where they were he went alone into
the house the wretched occupants of
which shrank away from him
The bench upon which lay Margot
stood in a far corner of the room and
near it on the floor Jean was
stretched asleep with Pierre seated
beside him his arms across his drawn
up knees and his head sunk upon
them
He too appeared to be sleeping
But at the sound of the soldiers voice
he raised his head to look at him
while a sullen light of grief showed
for an instant in his heavy eyes This
however softened into recognition as
he heard the kindly tone and words
Ah Pierre I am glad to have found
you
It was Murier who said this and
his dark face was full of pity as after
glancing at the bench he added I
have been sent here to find you
and
He stopped for Jean now awake
sat up and stared at him
Good morning young msieur And
I regret tis so truly other than a good
morning said Murier nodding and
smiling grimly as he looked down into
the white face and dark circled eyes
Jean making no reply rose to his
feet staggering as he did so
Are you hurt young msieur in
quired the soldier anxiously Or
either of you injured in any way
And he turned to Pierre who also
had risen and stood nearest him
Hurt repeated the peasant lad
Aye most sorely in our hearts
With this he drew the cover fron
what lay upon the bench
Poor dame muttered Murier his
eyes resting upon the calm white face
The devil himself was unchained last
night and he spared neither the
strong nor the weak Poor dame the
saints rest her kind soul
Jean appearing to disregard what
was happening about him had been
staring dully through the open door
and Murier noticed that he shivered
touched him upon the arm to attract
fc fc attention
Young msieur and the soldier
now spoke more briskly you are to
ccime with me My colonel has or
dered that you be brought to him
Jean glanced at Murier then his
eyes again sought the open door as he
said slowly Pierre and I are going to
Pere Huot We are going to take
Margot to his house
Aye that is where I am ordered tc
take you was the sergeants quick
reply And Pierre also is to come
He was moving toward the doorway
when the same woman who had guid
ed him to the house came iorward
with a cup of coffee which she offered
silently to Jean while an expression
of deep commiseration showed in hei
haggard face
But the boy motioned her away as
he exclaimed turning to Murier I
will not go without Margot
Surely not young msieur the
soldier assented Some of my men
shall make a stretcher and bring the
good dame after us
He had while speaking drawn Jean
to the door and out of it leaving
Pierre to follow with the soldiers who
were to construct a litter and bear
Margots body to the convent of St
Sulpice which was now Pere Huots
home
It is not necessary to describe what
Jean and Murier saw as they picked
their way through the streets some of
them half filled with debris and all of
them bearing witness to the horrors ol
the night before
Jean was silent with white face
and stony eyes that stared vacantly
ahead while the soldier held his arm
in a close grasp and occasionally ut
tered a few cheering words to which
the boy seemed to pay no heed
And so they went slowly along un
til in a narrow street which was com
paratively free from evidences of the
assault the two paused before the
heavy iron studded door of a gloomy
looking stone building whose ivy hung
windows were not much wider than
the loop holes of a fortress
Murier lifted the ponderous brass
knocker to let it fall with a peremp
tory clang and a few moments after
ward the door was opened cautiously
while through its crack a single eye
under a shaggy brow scrutinized him
with manifest suspicion
Open up Martin Tis I with the
young msieur for whom our colonel
sent me said Murier pushing
through the doorway and drawing
Jean after him
They were in a stone paved walled
and ceiled passage along which
Murier led the boy until they reached
the pntrance to a large apartment
and here without a word the soldier
lett him
As Jean stood upon the threshold of
the dimly lit room as he stood lean
ing against the side of the doorway
his eyes downcast and the sound as
of roaring waters in his ears he
heard even through this Pere Huots
1 familiar voice saying Thank our
Holy Mother my son that I see thee
safe and unharmed after this awful
night Then a tremulous hand was
laid tenderly upon his bowed head
A murmuring of other voices came
to him and one of them stirred Jeans
benumbed senses strangely half delir
ious as he was from all he had suffer
ed and seen
Lifting his eyes he saw before him
a face which seemed to have shaped
itself from out the drifting haze It
was thin and careworn with tumbled
locks falling over the pale forehead
and the gray blue eyes were bent upon
him with a sympathy which aroused
all his swooning faculties
Pizarro my Pizarro he cried
springing forward and the cry was
lost in a gasping sob as he fell sense
less upon the breast of Bonaparte
whose arms went around the limp
form as though to shield it from fur
ther harm
To be continued
How to Pass Hatteras
The late Senator Vest of Missouri
was fond of telling a story regarding
a friend of his who was in terrible
dread of the ordeal involved in pass
ing Cape Hatteras The man was a
confirmed victim of seasickness and
while he made many trips on the
ocean he always looked with fear to
that period of time when the vessel
would be passing the tumultuous sea
in and around Hatteras Returnina
from one of his trips he announced
with joy a cure for the dreaded Hat
teras period
What is it asked a friend
Why was the reply when we got
within twenty miles of Hatteras I or
dered up three quart bottles of cham
pagne and sat in my stateroom and
drank them one after the other
What was the effect of that asic
ed the friend
The effect replied the other in
astonishment Why there was no
effect When I came to we had pass

Farmer Cuisines Turkeys
It all came about through Farmer
Cuisines reprehensible habit of dis
cussing his affairs with all the world
and his wife It was natural that
Cuisine should swell with pride as he
viewed his flock of Thanksgiving tur
keys They were birds Fat rind
feathery with a strut like the foreign
nobleman of cheap melodrama they
basked in the sunshine of local pop
ularity and were rightly voted the
finest in the county So far all was
well and the goose hung high in the
Cuisine household But fate at the
eleventh hour a favorite time with
fate brought the turkey farmer in
juxtaposition with his undoing and
so kindly provided this story for the
edification of the public
Heretofore it has been the belief
of most people that turkeys are born
to be fattened killed and eaten Ine
expression He hasnt got sense
enough to come in out of the rain
was coined it is believed on a turkey
farm for this species of domestic
fowl will stay out in the wet until
washed away unless its owner inter
venes in his own interests But it
seems the turkey has been much
maligned He is in reality a sensible
bird as this story will prove
Cuisine made the mistake of under
rating turkey intelligence when he
held forth one day to an admiring au
dience of friends and relatives on the
astonishing success of his efforts at
turkey breeding
Look at that big fellow said Cuis
ine pointing at a gobbler who stalk
ed disdainfully past with tail feathers
elevated I have been fattening him
especially for the table of President
Roosevelt Hes bigger than anything
around here and Im going to have
him weighed and sent to the White
House for Thanksgiving Them news
paper fellers will get a hold of it and
my name will be in print from New
York to the Golden Gate I shall kill
him in a day or two from now The
others are all booked to go this week
I expect to do right well with em
all
Thus thought Farmer Cuisine with
an eye to the shekels after the kill
ing It never occurred to him the
gobbler might be listening Nor did
he dream for a moment that turkeys
were intelligent fowl and would just
as soon continue to strut the earth
as be trussed for the table Had he
understood the birds better or had he
attended a mass meeting of gobblers
called that evening on the stone lence
behind the barn he might have re
frained thereafter from taking the
domestic fowl into his confidence
when discussing his plans
The meeting was called to order by
the gobbler already referred to he
of the disdainful stalk In a few well
chosen gobbles he retailed to the si
lent audience the story of their fate
repeating mournfully the remarks
made by Cuisine concerning his plans
For them the speaker or rather gob-
bier explained the days were num
bered The glorious season of unlim
ited corn was drawing to a close He
pierced the haze of the future and
there beheld the terrible apparition
of a headless turkey trussed and
stuffed and garnished borne aloft like
a sacrifice while a hungry multitude
applauded expectantly He looked
closer at the apparition and lo it
was his own image that he beheld
h
there headless trussed and stuffed
and garnished The gobbler gulped
wiMi emotion as he followed the pic
ture to its finish A shudder rnn
through the audience and feathers
tiembled like the leaves of the forest
when a storm approaches Each tur
key saw his finish too
Farmer Cuisine will never know
how narrowly he escaped death him
self that night It was actually pro
posed by some of the younger and
more excitable birds that the fllock
unitecib set upon their confessed en
emy and beat him to earth with claw
and beak and wings But as some
one has said Calmer counsels pre
vailed and the unanimous decision
of the meeting was that safety could
best be found in flight From that
point the discussion was carried on in
turkey whispers
The meeting stands adjourned
finally gobbled the forensic fowl as
one by one the turks trooped away
The rest of the story is almost too
distressing to be told but an extract
from one of the morning papers pub
lished the day after the mass meet
ing may be here reprinted It ran
Last night a band of skillful ras
cals completely cleaned out Farmer
Cuisines turkey house So cleverly
was the robbery effected that not a
single feather remained on the
ground and not a sound was heard to
disturb the farmer or his family
Some persons in this vicinity are
sure of a turkey dinner on Thanks
giving day From the wholesale na
ture of the steal it seems likely that
the thieves contemplated supplying an
entire township with Thanksgiving
dinners There is no clew to the rob
bers
Later Some wag caused much
merriment by relating a circumstan
tial story of seeing the Cuisine flock
of turkeys led by one solemn looking
gobbler walking in single file down
the main street in the dead ot night
He watched them said the wag and
could swear that they all marched on
until they reached the edge of the
woods where they separated with a
chorus of gleeful gobbles and disap
peared in the bushes It was a good
little story well told and the tellers
stock rose appreciably in the com
munity He repeated it with such
gravity and apparent conviction of its
truth that the listeners were con
vulsed
But that didnt bring back Farmer
Cuisines turkeys and he is still in
consolable He has given up raising
turkeys and says he intends to raise
turkey rhubarb instead
