The Cake Tha

A Valentine Story
By MARTHA J TOWNE

7 ation 1DU i
The door of the Womans Exchange
swung open aud closed behind Billy
Delwins broad back For an instant
he hesitated besieged by a battery of
feminine eyes Then he strode for
ward to the counter where under
glass cases were arranged nandsome
and toothsome cakes of every descrip
tion and variety
With his hat under his arm he stared
down at the cakes with a calculating
eye I want a plum cake he said
Anally Have you got one today
Wait a minute And the woman
disappeared presently returning with
a large box which she opened and
disclosed under tissue paper wrap
pings a huge round cake
Billys eyes sparkled dangerously a
he surveyed the beautiful cake Ill
take it he said quickly Then he
added a question Is it plum cake
Yes indeed and perfectly deli
cious said the woman enthusiasti
cally
Then It was that he summoned cour
age to lean forward and ask a ques
tion in a low voice Is it against the
rule to mention the name of the mem
ber who baked this cake
The cash register clanged noisily as
the woman turned away Against
the rules she said crisply
May I inquire persisted Billy hesi
tatingly his voice still lower if this
cake was baked erer by an old
lady
The attendant smiled shrewdly over
her shoulder Its against the rules
to mention ages also she returned
Once in the street he boarded a car
and was conveyed with more or less
rapidity to his bachelor rooms He
took the cake from its box
I dunno Thats more like it than
any of em he muttered as he went
to and fro hastily removing the things
from his library table Then he laid
several clean white towels on the pol
ished surface and bringing from vari
ous places of concealment a number of
large round frosted cakes he placed
ft T Li
ive got tou now rirriiiiis giiiES
them in a row on the table There
were seven in all
Looks like a cake sale he grinned
somewhat anxiously I hope none of
the chaps happen in Theyll think
Im all off if they see this layout but
by George Ill find her if it takes the
rest of my life
He walked around the table survey
ing its toothsome burden with a crit
ical eye Of all the cakes he decided
that his last purchase was the hand
somest the lightest and the most de
liciously fragrant
Now for a taste he said plunging
a silver knife in the first one The
slice was clean and yellow and full of
currants Billy wrinkled his nose dis
dainfully and laid down the slice
Phyllis never made that one he
commented Her cakes always have
raisins in Now for the next one
One after another he tried the dif
ferent cakes sniffing tasting exam
ining and shaking his head dubiously
after each operation
At last he came to his latest pur
chase the Valentine cake and if one
watched him closely they might have
observed that his cheeks paled and his
firm lips were compressed into straight
colorless lines Suddenly he groanel
and laid down the knife
If this one shouldnt be hrs lu
muttered despernely and th ii v
an upward lling 1N hdoue heai
he plunged - h Sr Into Iie cike uetr
its odf1 aref rl t disturb the -oration
that iCu iel top lis
drew out a pi e yXlow ad rich and

With th ir n one pariiiparg la
some great

its elusive ttvir When h ul
islied he laid down the knife an I
down in a 1 covered dial
the color lloodiig his tanned cheeks
Ive found her Ive found her at
last he cried exultantly Nobody in
the world ever baked that cake except
Phyllis Giles She made one last year
for her Valentine party same size
same flavor same decoration and you
cant fool me sir
He turned the cake slowly around
and viewed It from all sides Her
hands made It she touched it and she
placed all those little hard red hearts
about the edge and not one of those
hearts is harder than Phyllis own
-is
SCC3B LUaBHEiS
heart or she would never have hiadeii
herself away from me in this manner
As if Mr Giles failure and suicide
could make any other difference to me
than to feel more tenderly toward her
If nothing had happened or if Phyllis
had not hidden away after it was
over we should have been married by
this time instead of my following up
the only clew I ever could get that
she had come to New York and was
baking cakes for the Womans Ex
change Ive bought plum cakes from
every exchange in the city I believe
until the women look on me with sus
picion He sat for a long time in
silence and then lie arose and bundled
the cakes into their boxes
The last purchase he wrapped care
fully and replaced In its box Then he
got into his overcoat picked up his
hat and with the cake under his arm
he sought the street Presently he
was once more standing before the
counter in the Womans Exchange
The tea tables were empty now and
there was no one around save the
stern visaged woman who had waited
upon him earlier in the afternoon
Will you kindly break your rule and
tell me the uame of the young lady
who made this cake he asked with
the keenest anxiety in his deep voice
It is impossible said the woman
primly
Would you forward a I er to her
if I should write one I Hilly
Certainly not A i -lied
expression was the f - of
humor that Billy had seen i lie dull
fabric of this wearisome chase after
the girl he loved
Will you call her on the telephone
and allow me to talk with her per
sisted Billy Really madam 3011 will
be making two people very happy
I could not do that eitHer I am
very sorry sir but it seems to me if
Miss Giles really wanted to see you
she would not withhold her address
The woman flushed with vexation at
the slip she had made in thus revealing
the name Billy had been longing to
hear
It is Phyllis then he cried tri
umphantly I knew that cake No
body in the world can make a plum
cake like Phyllis he explained with
enthusiasm The moment I tasted it
I knew
The harsh face softened a little Her
cakes are different from the others
she said lukewarmly She said once
that she could make cakes better than
anything cise in the world and so she
thought that was the thing she ought
to do to gain a livelihood
Bless her heart muttered Billy un
der his breath knowing well that if he
had his own way that Phyllis dainty
fingers should never bake a cake in
the world unless it was for some es
pecial treat like St Valentines day
Do you know what day tomorrow
will bo he demanded suddenly
The woman stared Valentines
day of course she said busying her
self with the wares in the glass case
Well thats the day when separat
ed sweethearts are reunited you
know blurted Billy sheepishly
Seems to me if I could help any one
along in that way Id do it
It isnt part of the business said
the woman impatiently Really sir
Id like to help you out but I simply
cannot divulge the names of our mem
bers
Very well madam cried Billy
grimly Ill find her without your
help and when I do youll lose the
best cake maker in your membership
The door closed noisily behind his
indignantly retreating form and the
woman stared after him for a brief
moment I wonder she muttered
softly I wonder if it would have done
any harm to have told him he had a
good face and he seemed so much in
earnest and just as he said tomorrow
is Valentines day
In the street Billy paused for a mo
ment and looked up and down Sud
denly a little black gowned form
emerged from the crowd and paused
for an instant before the door of the
exchauge and then laid a tentative
hand on the knob
Billy Delwin was beside her in an
instant
Phyllis he cried sharply Ive
got you now and you cant lose me
again
She uttered a little frightened cry
and turned a white face up to his
Oh Billy Billy she gasped Where
did you come from
I just came out of this exchange
where the hearts of the attendants are
harder than the little red hearts on
your Valentine plum cake for they
would not divulge your address
though I begged almost on my knees
But Ive got you now Phyllis Giles
Dont you dare enter that ogres den
again
He drew her trembling form close
to him and they stood in the shadow
of the doorway her slight form lean
ing against him
How did you know Billy How
did you find me out asked Phyllis
after a little silence
Billy told her of his quest for the
cakes of the slight clew he had fol
lowed and of his purchase that night
of the Valentine plum cake which he
recognized as her handiwork
Darling he whispered after it had
been told tomorrow is St Valen
tines day You have baked this cake
and on it you have asked the question
Will you be my valentine Now I
bought that cake and take it upon my-
self to answer that question I will be
your valentine under one condition
What is that asked Phyllis
That you will admit that youre not
sorry that I bought the cake
Sorry echoed Phyllis joyfully
Why Billy I was thinking of you
when I made it and I splashed so
many tears over the little red hearts
that they bled and I had to replace
them with others Billy Delwin I
thought youd never come

TOLD IN PANTOMIME
The Worth of a Chinese Royal Gift to
Li Hung Chang
The late empress dowager of China
was something of a humorist The
nuthor of Behind the Scenes In IV
king tells a story of how Li Hung
Chang after concluding the treaty of
Shimonosekl was presented by ihe
empress with a cloth of gold bag con
taining some heavy article The treas
ure turned out to be a large vase and
Li who was an enthusiastic collector
of Chinese ceramics at once spnt for
his secretary Mr Pethick to come
and examine the new acquisition
Some time was spent in a careful
examination to determine the dynnst
during which this treasure was pro
duced but the date of this especial
paste was lost with its other technical
classifications After a longtime Mr
Pethick lifted it gingerly placed it on
a table put himself in front of it
drawing a wrap round his shoulders
and slowly very slowly hold his
hands up to It turning them in the
attitude of warming at a fire
Chinese need few words Li under
stood and was heartbroken The pan
toiniino indicated to him that the sup
posed priceless vase was only a clever
reproduction made in Paris and the
secretary warming his hands before
it meant it was so fresh from the
pottery furnace that he could still
notice the warmth
FOOD AND DIGESTION
Civilized Man Needs Cheerful
roundings at His Meals
Robust people so long as they get
what suits their own uncultivated
taste are apt to make very light ot
what they call fancies about food
and overlook their real importance
Feeding on the part of civilized man
is not the simple procedure which it
is with animals although many ani
mals are particular as to their food
and what is called dainty The ne
cess j for civilized man of cheerful
company at his meal and for the ab
sence of mental anxiety is universally
recognized as well as the importance
of an inviting appeal to the appetite
through the sense of smell and of
sight while the injurious effect of the
reverse conditions which may lead to
nausea and even vomiting is admitted
Even the ceremonial features of the
dinner table the change of clothes
the leisurely yet precise succession of
approved and expected dishes accom
panied by pleasant talk and light
hearted companionship are shown by
strict scientific examination to be im
portant aids in the healthy digestion
of food which need not be large in
quantity because wisely presented

Why Spiders Fight
When two spiders fight there is gen
erally a good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows
It is not generally known that after
a certain time spiders become inca
pable of spinning a web from lack of
material The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighbors and this they do without
scruple As soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become ex
hausted and its last web destroyed it
sets out in search of another home
and unless it should chance to find one
that is tenantless a battle usually en
sues which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender
A Pretty Compliment
His incessant work his avoidance
of all rest and recreation and his
rigorous self denial made Joseph Pulit
zer in his days in harness the despair
of his family
In this connection a pretty story is
told about the famous journalists son
Ralph Mr Pulitzer had refused to
take a holiday and Mrs Pulitzer ex
claimed
Did you ever know your father
to do anything because it was pleas
ant
Yes once when he married you
the young man gracefully replied
Washington Post
The Tiny Shoes She Wanted
Now madam what size shoe will
you have asked the salesman as
soon as he was at liberty
The smallest and shiniest you
have she said
The other women buying shoes sniff
ed
And when the clerk returned with
a pair of the tiniest imaginable the
woman accepted them with the re
mark I guess babys eyes will open
when she sees these on her feet
