PETE'S
BABETTE
By IZOLA L. FORRESTER
Copyright , 1KJ1 , by A. 8. Richardson
There hnd always been Pete. At least
eo tbo people down nt St Michel said
\vhcn n stronger would nsk where ha
bad como from. Even before the gov
ernment had built the lighthouse on
PreBQUC Isle Pete's ( tailing hut had
been there , nud every night ho hat
bung out his lantern on the end of a
polo BO that the boats rounding the
point n inlli1 or two below would see Its
flicker nnd steer clear of the long sand
bar that ran out like an nnt eater's
nose from the northern corner of
Prcsque Isle.
Everybody along the strait Icnew the
T
quaint old Ilgure , but no one knew of
liubctto until they saw her one uiorn-
lug fluttering along behind Pete , her
red calico dress the one bright spot of
color among the grays and browns of
PrcsQUc Isle. The day before Pete had
been seen rowing over to the Macklnae
shore , but no one knew of his return
except Mere M'rle , and she was BO old
nnd deaf that all she could do was
cook Pete's fish and sit out In the sun
shine all day smoking in the kitchen
doorway.
When Landry Dubuta from Algonac
Island nskcd the question direct , Pete
smiled and shook his head , his dark
eyes , deep set In the small brown face ,
watching Kabctte build houses with
the red bark chips around the light
house steps.
"She has no one but me. " lie said ,
with n dubious shrug of his thin ,
stooped shoulders. "Babettc. who art
thou , petite ? "
Babettc stopped playing long enough
to ( lash a merry glance at him under
the shelter of her thick brown hair.
"Pete's Babettc. " she laughed.
And so , nil through the isles of the
Btrnlt , as far as St Iguaco and even
down to Mackinaw , she was known as
Pete's Babette. Pete taught her nil
manner of wonderful things in fish
lore and shlpcraft , and before long she
knew all the boats that passed by
Presque Isle from the great Iron klnga
and grain boats bound for Buffalo to
the gay little yachts that fluttered like
white butterflies here and there. But ,
best of all , she loved the schooners , the
old monarchs of the lake , when they
came sailing up the strait on a still
t" summer's eve , like wondrous phantom
Bhlps , with the glory of the sunset be
hind , and she called them Babctte's
birds.
And the years passed by , ten of
them , slow and sure and steady , one
by one , as the wild geese fly to the
eouthland , and each one left Pete
browner nnd more wrinkled nnd small
er , while Babette grow up tall nnd
slender and strong as a young pine
tree , with hair and eyes brown as dry
oak leaves. Then came the terrible
( winter of ' 04 , when boat after boat
, went out on the lakes and no more was
heard from them until spring waves
brought iu the wreckage. It was cold
at the little , low > use back of the
lighthouse on Presque Isle , colder than
even Pete could remember , nnd every
week it was harder for him to row
down to SL Michel for provisions.
One night he came home half frozen
and with n dreadful cough. Babette
1 sent him to bed and said he should gene
no more. They must make what food
they had last until warmer weather.
But Instead of sunshine and fair seas
the clouds swept low and gray like
gulls before a storm , and the waves
came rolling In , with n deep , heavy
swell that sent a dull , threatening
roar as they broke , up to the light-
bouse. And here nnd there in the dark
green waters could be seen something
else , a clumsy , swaying mass that
glinted blue white.
"The ice has come , " Babette thought
when she saw It from the lighthouse
window one morning after she had
trimmed the lamp , and there was n
queer ache In her heart ns she looked
off down the strait nnd thought of how
bet1 birds would Lave to battle with It ,
but she did not tell Pete.
It was three days later when Mere
M'rle showed her the empty meal bag.
She smiled. There were still bacon and
rice and dried fish. They were rich. At
tlie end of the week tliere was no ba
con , and they had saved the last of the
rlco for Pete , who lay on the old
lounge near the stove coughing , coughIng -
Ing all the time.
The following day Pete was deliri
ous. Babette stood in the old kitchen ,
looking from the flushed , wrinkled face
on the pillow to where Mere M'rlo
knelt over by the stove praying. The
provisions were gone. There was no
medicine.
Babette took the fur Jacket from its
nail. Before she went out of the kltch
en she leaned over the old halfbrced
woman's bent form. "To St. Michel , "
she said slowly , pointing eastward and
then nt the empty meal sack and flour
bag thrown In n corner. Mere M'rle
understood nnd stopped her praying
long enough to watch the strong , erect
young figure pass down to the shore ,
the wind blowing the ends of her scarf
backward over her shoulders like red
wings.
Her hands worked quickly over the
lines of the boat , and , taking advan
tage of a momentary lull , she pushed
away from the small , tumbled down
pier and struck out bravely for St. Mi
chel. She had often been out with
Pete when the waves were as high as
now , and she loved the excitement of
It nil. The low. flat shore of Prcpquo
Isle vanished entirely behind the wall
of waters , but she could catch a
gllmpbe of the dt-ar old lighthouse- and
Us round top above the tnllt'St wave ,
hnd the sight Btrcnglhened nnd nerved
her for the five mlle Journey to St.
Michel.
Suddenly , when scarcely half n mlle
out , the boat seemed to strike n new
current. Hnbette caught her breath
sharply as she felt the strong , resist
less power sweep her from her couroe ,
and she bent over the oars with set ,
close lips nnd ( CIIBO muscles , but It was
useless. The deep , swelling rush of
waters carried her northward , straighten
on to the middle channel of the strait
The wind had come up again and
raged over the Inkc like n wild beast
Then , without warning , there rose be
fore her the Jagged , cruel line of the
Ice floe , nnd the next moment the
waves had thrown the boat an if It had
been n leaf full upon It. Instinctively
Dabctto had risen at thnt last awful
instant As the boat crashed Into the
Ice with a shock that made It leap and
tremble she sprang forward and
gained a footing on the Ice floe , a
slight , perilous ono , to be sure , but one
that meant safety for the moment at
least
Already the little boat had disap
peared In the whirlpool of dashing wa
ters , and Babcttc's heart beat fast as
she looked about her on her new craft
It was large ; it seemed as largo as
Presquo Isle Itself , and nt flrsdk ap
peared stationary. But when she had
reached Its center she could feel the
slow , steady motion as it swept on to
ward Lake Huron.
And now came the division of the
channel , and Babette's heart almost
stopped Its frightened beating as she
thought of what would happen If the
floe drifted north of Algonac Island
nnd out on the great pitiless waters of
the lake.
With hushed breath she waited. The
floe was heaving so that she could
hardly retain her place , but nt last
the pine crests of Algonac showed on
her left , and she knew she would pass
St Michel. With fingers stiffened by
the cold she untied the red scarf from
alK > ut her head and let the wind blow
It like a danger signal above her na
she caught a glimpse of the lighthouse
on the west pier. So near , it seemed ,
she placed her hand to her mouth and
shouted , but her voice sounded like a
reedblrd's pipe In the noise of the rushIng -
Ing waters.
She was opposite the town now. She
could see the waves break on the pier ,
nnd yet there was no sign of help.
With a fearlessness born of despera
tion she struggled to her feet nnd
waved the scarf wildly , and suddenly
a figure appeared on the lighthouse
ladder. Again she waved and tried to
call. The figure signaled back and ran
along the pier toward town.
It was Landry Dubols. lie burst Into
the warm back room nt old Mme. Por-
teau'o breathless nnd hatless.
"It Is Pete's Babette , " he cried to the
crowd of fishermen and sailors hud
dled about the big wood stove. "She Is
on the Ice , drifting out to the lake. "
In five minutes the news had spread ,
and the shore was crowded , while the
strongest boat In the place was
manned , with Landry at the rudder ,
and stout arms pulled away to the res
cue of Pete's Babette. And when they
brought her back half frozen nnd half
dead and gave her Into Mme. P.or-
tcau's care she told her errand In the
warm back room told how Pete lay
dying without food or medicine nnd
how unless help was sent there would
be no light shining from Presque Isle
that night
"The light shall shine , " promised
Landry , and the waves that bad
laughed at Babette's little boat bowed
before the masterful stroke of ten
pairs of St Michel's strongest arms no
they manned the boat that bore Ba
bettc and provisions and medicine
back to Presque Isle.
"Thou hast saved his life , little one , "
said Landry , when they stood In the
kitchen where Mere M'rle still prayed.
But Babette only smiled and nodded
her head , and she went on to the light
house.
The winter twilight was falling
swiftly , and the wind had gone down
like one tired with its mad play. Far
to the west she could see a boat strug
gling slowly up the strait , Its lights
gleaming now and then like Jewels.
She lit the lamp with fingers that
trembled , and the broad path of light
streamed out over the point Bnbette's
birds could fly in safety tonight , and
below Landry Dubols .held aloft a red
scarf and told its story , even as it is
told today around the islands of the
strait the story of Pete's Babette.
When Ladle * Wore
In the seventeenth century ladles
wore masks in public , and great was
the variety of face screens that were
seen. Ladies who had "corallne" lips
preferred them short , as was natural ;
for others who wished to hide the
lower part of the face the mask was
completed by n chin piece of linen ,
which afterward passed under the chin
and over the ears. In 1C32 , says M.
Engcrand , a new mask called the
mlml , from the Italian mimics , was all
the rage and threatened to usurp the
place of the black one. It was even
the cause of violent quarrels between
the ladles who held to the latter and
those who preferred the latest novelty.
Some years later It became the fashion
to trim the upper part of the mask
with a ruche of lace , to lengthen it
with a beard of the same material and
even to cover it more or less with lace
to the borders of the eyeholes. Young
ladles of this period , however , fre
quently contented themselves with
covering the face simply with n piece
of black crape for coquetry's sake and
to appear the fairer.

CATCHING A THIEF ,
AH Old Mrthmt I'tllltod liy n ( Jorinan
Olllcrr lit Cliliin.
Thirty dollars was stolen at thu Of
ficers' club In Th'iitHln , China , and the
members of the club resolved , If possi
ble , to catch thu thief.
A Herman captain volunteered to
manage the affair , and the first thing
bo did was to summon all the natlvo
ecrvantH of the club. Uu then wild to
them :
"Some money has boon stolen here ,
nnd 1 am looking for the thief. I shall
( Ind him in an hour , not before , slnco
I need that much time In order to get
Instructions from a celebrated magi
cian in Germany. "
An hour later all the servants were
again summoned , but this time Into n
dark room , In the middle of which
Btood the table on which the money
stolen had been laid ,
"Each of you , now , " said the olllcor ,
"must go up to thnt table and press on
It first your right nnd then your left
band , nnd when that Is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step Into the next room. "
The servants did so , and as the last
one stepped Into the adjoining room
the olllcer followed him , nnd after
looking fern few moments nt the many
uplifted hands he pointed to one man
nnd said , "You nro the thief. " The
Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly
fell to the ground with fright nnd ad
mitted his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by the olllcer for discovering the cul
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was In Germany
In communion with thfc celebrated ma
gician he was carefully smearing the
surface of the table In the dark room
with fat nnd oil , which he then black
ened by means of soot. The Innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on the table , according to his Instruc
tions , but the culprit though super
stitious , did not do so.
As a result , while the uplifted hands
of nil the others were coal black , hla
were of a natural color , and thus his
guilt was clearly proved. Detroit Free *

Licking Her Snmp .
We find the following anecdotes In a
Naples paper : "At the postolllce yes
terday , amid the large crowd gathered
around the window , was a young Eng
lish lady , handsome , well dressed nnd
accompanied by her maid. The young
lady had Just purchased some stamps
and was about to affix them to a num
ber of letters which she held In her
hand. Delicately tearing off a stamp ,
she said to her maid , 'Pull ( sic ) out
your tongue. ' And the maid , with Eng
lish impassivity , thrust forth her
tongue , while the mistress passed over
it a postage stamp , which she subse
quently stuck on n letter. She went
through the entire package of letters ,
and for each one the obedient waiting
maid thrust out her tongue for the
mistress to moisten the stamp. Curi
ous manners these English people
have. "
The Cnnon anil ihe Lawyer.
The point of the following story lies
in the Important part which the "three
penny bit" plays in church collections
in England. Canon Blank was having
a friendly game of pool nt the squire's ,
and one of his opponents was Wigsby ,
the barrister. The canon lost a "life"
and took from his pocket n threepenny
piece to pay for it , which he placed on
the edge of the table.
"Oh , " said Wigsby , "I see , canon ,
you have had your finger in the plate ! "
The canon drew himself up to his full
height , a good six feet , and , looking
the man of the law full in the face.
Bald , "I'm surprised that you , Mr.
Wigsby , in the presence of this re
spectable company , have the audacity
to recognize your own paltry contribu
tion 1"

Electric lamps not only can be made
to talk , but also to sing. An ordinary
arc light can be made to produce
sounds in two ways. One is by placing
the arc in the circuit of a telephone
Instead of the ordinary receiver , and
the other Is by placing it in the circuit
Instead of the ordinary transmitter.
In cither of these positions it will
pronounce words , which can be heard
distinctly at a considerable distance.
It naturally follows , also , that the elec
tric arc can be utilized as the receiver
and also OB the transmitter of a tele
phone.
The French Horn.
The French horn or cor do chasse Is
regarded by some musicians ns the
sweetest and mellowest of nil the wind
Instruments. In Beethoven's time it
was little els than the old hunting
horn , which , for the convenience of the
mounted hunter , was arranged in spiral
convolutions , to be slipped over the
head and carried resting on one shoul
der and under the opposite arm. The
Germans still call It the waldhorn
that is , "forest horn. "
Acton' Snperctitioni ,
To rehearse a play on Sunday is n
euro blgn that that play will not be a
success for the manager ordering the
rehearsal and that salaries will be lost
by all who so participate on the Lord's
day. To twirl a chair at rehearsals Is
Just ns good as betting on a sure thing
that a fight will disrupt the friendship
of nt least two members nnd perhaps
'cause loss to the management for that
week.
The Itltirjay.
Ono may pet or patronize , according
to one's nature , a chipping sparrow ,

well coated with self esteem who does
not feel n sense of inferiority In the

the belief that he is wore of n success

KILLED THE SPIDER.
Dendlx Influence of n Srnnll MrtKtict
on the Inject.
An experiment made by a scientist
to test the Influence which a magnet
| .will . have on a spider is of interest
I The magnet employed was a small
J Bteel one of the U shape , the logs of
I which were about two and n half
i inches long by one-half Inch wide nnd
one-sixth of an Inch thick , the distance
between the poles being about one-
quarter of an inch.
Having noticed a small spider active
ly running along his armchair , ho
brushed it off upon the carpet , wbcro
it began to run , but was somewhat Im
peded by the roughness of the fabric.
IIo now slid the magnet along the car
pet , following after the spider , till the
ends of the poles were within n quar
ter of an Inch of It. The animal , with
out being touched , almost instantly
stopped , and on withdrawing the ning-
net the gpider continued on his Jour
ney.
ney.The
The experimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch in front of
the spider , and , withdrawing It slow
ly , the latter followed It In every direc
tion which the magnet took , both in
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually , however , the spider became -
came BO strongly magnetized ns to be
Immovable for several minutes , the
magnetic influence seeming to lose its
further power. On withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider began to
recover somewhat.
The scientist ultimately placed a
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net , covering them both completely ,
and nt the expiration of several mln
utes the spider , after a struggle to cs
cape from the strong influence which
the magnet exercised over It , was
dead. Exchange.
Tbe Word Flattery.
At first sight there would appear to
be little connection between flattery
and the wagging of a dog's tall , yet
in nearly all the northern language the
oame word signifies both , nnd flattery
is certainly derived from the word sig
nifying to wag the tall. In the old
Norman flngra signifies to flatter nnd
also to wag the tall. In Danish logre
is to wng the tall , and loger for ecu is
to fawn on one. In Dutch vleyden Is
to flatter and vleydstcertcn is to wag
the tail. In the old German wedclu
is to wag the tail , nnd in English
wheedle is to gain one's end in flat
tery.
Nothing Wnsted.
A Scottish farmer when going to
market , it was observed , always took
a hen with him In his trap. The reason
.was never known until one day he took
a friend with him on a drive. Every
place the farmer stopped he put the
nosebag on bis horse , nud then the hen
was so trained that what dropped from
the horse's bag the hen would pick up ,
so there was nothing wasted. Pear-
