Artistic Dyeing.
Unbleteched muelin has been used
foo rawly aftreetive articles for the
hoseseleold, fee alums, and for chil-
dren's dresses. Probsibly COO of the
mot effective means of decorating is
Ly using dyee. The articles iney or
may not be made up before dyeing, In
case a bugler is desired aro•iind the
bottom of the goement, such as a
kimono, child's drew, or tea jacket, it
rney be so dyed. An attraceive color
is chosen foe the gannent and a bord-
er of diamonds, aircles ce squares left
the original cake of the unbleached
material.
Tide result is aecomplitheel by first
snaking a row of diamonds, them ming
a strong thread, phave a naming stietch
around the meeked line of eath figure
and ,gather it up tightly. The porbion
of material -which is gathered up and
which is to form the design is then
Wound very tightly, with grocery
twirne, 'beginning where the gathering
thread holds it tightly, and winding
nearly to the end. The cord should
be weeend very elcsely together to com-
pletely cover the material. A very
emcee portion is left ag the end, nek-
ing a spot of the dyed calor in the
centre. The material is theri dyed,
and, if the winding of the wed has
been &see carefully, -when the article
is dry, and cord and deawieg-thread
removed, the marked aection.e 'will be
of the original color, foaming a pat-
tern on the garment as marked.
Messy interestieg designs may be
worked out. The use of circles, die -
mortals sod squeees are most success-
ful. This may be used for curtains,
children's dresses, with pieces of un-
bleached muslin need foe trimming.
The dii,gen is improved if the figures
are outlined in black. 'When only a
few are put 071 the gement, es onthe
fromt ce an wren or the centre of -a
poedh pillow, they are especially
pretty if an appliqued design is used
in the eentre al the figure. .
Luncheon sets are made by using
only one figure ire the Opener, in which
bhere is,placed an appliqued or em-
broidered design. The edges are -some
times blanket -stitched, erese-stitched
or bound with plain materiel, and a
running ettiteh put around the edge!
Very pretty tea jackets are made of
three yards of material cut perfectly
plain with a band for the sleeves put
on Japanese style. The neck aced free*
are left umfinished until after the dye-
ing. A imrderof diamonds, is marked
around the bottom and after dyeing,
those are blanket stitched at the edge.
'Phe sleeve bands are sometimes pot
on after the dyeing.
Mother's Party.
"What makes a party?" Marcia
asked sternly:
"Why, the spirit, I suppose. But,
Mereia Dtmean, there isnAt even time
to get the silver out of storage--"
And, Elinor Duncan, mother will
be eeverety-five to-morrew-seventy-
five! A week ago we didn't know
whether the would be with us this
birbhday. Now the's strong enou.gli
to have a few people and a cake with
candles. And we're going to lenge the
party. You take care of mother to-
day, and I'll do .the reel."
"Are you going th surprise her?"
Marcia considered for a moment.
"Yee and no. I'M sua-prise her with
the people, but the has .aftways 80
laved the getting reedy part that we
are going to bring her down to over-
see the eake-making."
So mother, with her wee shining
like a child's, VMS brought down into
•the kitchen. It was a wonderful cake
that race to exactly the right height
and was broacried to exently the right
shade,
"But, Marcia, what else?" mother
asked suddenly,
"Shaelil" Mamie Warned her. "Peo-
ple aren't allosa;ed to ask questions
ebecut birthdays:"
- Theme was undoubtedly a great deal
to do, and. one person could by no
moans do it a3I. Yet at one o'clock
it was done.
"Did you get the silver cut of stor-
age?" Minor whispeeed.
"No, indeed; I told people to bring
their own."
"Marcia 1)arime, you didn't."
"Elinee Duneee, I did. Moreover,
t asked Daisy Lamborn to bring over
ter candle phades, and Molly's cook

"Mercia Duncan, . did ,Snirtl borrow
the whole enrols?"
"Pretty nearly. Coneideeing that
we hadn't lied time le get is thing isa
eeneg-mether being taken the dal!'
after we get home, -why. not?
Wouldn't you love.to help out any-
body else in like case? Why not let
them have the pleasure, too?"
"But it seems elreadful,"„ Elinor
protested, "1 feel As if I couldn't look
anybody in the face."
"And I iced as if I could look peo-
ple in the face in u new wag, 'because
I counted on love, eind it didn't Tell
me. You'll see if it isn't the bapeeest
pewter we eves: had."
Two Egg Dishes.
Swiss Eggs-eUse a pan to fit the
size of the family. Per eech four
eggs use oneehall cup cream, one
tablespoon, butter, two tablespoons
grated &seen, salt, pepper. Melt the
butter in the pen, being careful it
does net brown. Add the cream. Heat
all thoroughly. S1ip the eggs in one
at e time. Sexism to taste. Cook
very gently so as not to break the
form al the eggs. Wh,en the white is
nearly firm, sprinkle the cheese over.
0o,ok till done, "spoon" the eggs care-
fully onto slices ef hot buttered toast
medsoften each slice with a portion
of the hot wean.
Eggs baked in potato -If the men
folk need a hearty meal, serve these
eggs with sliced haccm Or thin .slices
of fried been or dried beef frizzled in
but-ber. Bake else potatoes earefullg,
oho -toeing them of uniform size and
smocielme,ste. Scoop out the inside of
each baked potable into a hot dish.
Mash and season with erearn, salt and
pepper. Relit' the shell, net qui&full.
Put a bit of butter in the little nest
you have left tend drop into it .a whole
raw egg. Return to oven until the
egg is cooked.
Where Crusoe Lived.
Every schoolboy knows that a Scot-
tish lad, Alexander Selkirk, was the
character on whom Daeiel Defoe
founded his world-famous. story, "Rob-
inson Crusoe."
But Alexander's real history is not
so familiar. His birthplace was Lar-
go, a little fishing village on the Fife -
shire emsst, now a popular holiday re-
sort. Here /ae gained the reputation
of being a very unruly boy, who teased
the life out of a half-witted brother,
and finally ran away to sea because
his father wanted to make hen a shoe-
maker.
According to Defoe, Crusoe was en
his desert island thirty years, Sel-
kirk, however, was only away for four
years and fouegenontlis: as a matter
of fact, he was marooned.
When, after many strange adven;
tures, the wanderer eeturned to Largo,
It was a Sunday morning, and Isis
people were at church. Never back-
ward at coating torward, he went in
and took a seat clue to his mother,
That individual had long given up her
wandering boy as lost, and so great
was the scene she caused on seeing,
him again that it broke up the service.
Ultimately Sellark married a vil-
lage girl, and everyont thoughthe had
decided to settle down. Largo woke
up one morning, however, to find that
he had disappeared with his wife. It
is known that she died and Selkirk
married again. What became of him
eventually, no one knows.
Largo perpetuated his memory by
erecting .a fine monument on the site
of the cottage in which he lived, and
interesting mementoes are pointed out
to visitors by theduliabitants.
- Travels of a Bird Husband.
Do birds mate for li.fe? Mr. W. H.
Hudson, the naturalist, discussing the
question in ids book Birds of Town
and Village, tells an interesting story
of a pair of thrushee that were true
to their first love.
A woman who lived In Winchester,
England, he says, had among her bird
eensloners in the garden of her house
a female thrush . that grew tame
enough to feed at tbe dining -room
table. -The threes paired and bred
for several seas•ons in the same gar -
aim, and each brood of young ones,
tee, were tame and would follow their
mother into the house to be fed. But
the male was too shy ever to venture
in. • .
Tke first year that Inc appeared the
woman noticed that Ise had a wing
feather that stuck out, owing prob-
ably to a malformation et the socket.
Each year aftelr the breeding season
the male vanished, and the female re-
mained alone Miring the winter
months; but in the spring the male
came baek-the same bird with the
sante umnistalealee ProJectIng wing
feather. It is certain that he had gone
for away; otherwise be Would have re-
turned to the garden, where there

CHAPTER eIV.
Writing the Will.
It wiE be necessary to relive for a
few modnente eome of the exciting
OV0771bS that happened at ehe time of
the Revelation, these strangely
troubled daYs When the fair land of
France was se deeply .soaked with the
blood of its own patriotie "Citizens."
In this- way the utast important de -
tens of the oddly mysterious bequest
entrusted to A.doen Baesenter by the
wheteehtatired old aniato.erat, Marquis
de Dertigny, ean be mare fully under-
stood.
So while Vivian is leaning beak on
the cushions of his carriage wonder-
ing who is to be the nett to enter into
the Poeseesion of the murdered inat's
Regent Paris house and the offices in
eihe Steered, let. OS listen to the swig
of the Revolution, shoeated et the top
of a tuneless and .wine -laden voice,
which eve Tended rauceuely from behind
the red-curbained bay window of the
"Star of Navarre," in the city of Blois.
Ploarting• oat into the still courtyard,
it polluted the calm of the Spring
everting and caused a traveller who
had but that moment climbed, stiff -
legged down from the seddle, to 'bite
hie under lip in irritation andto lead
his mount into the shadow of a fann
wagon which etood by the gateiley
leading to the stables.
There was no hostler act hand to
attend to the anemel; but Remy Per-
aneourt hed ridden for and the horse
needed no restraindng hand on his
bridle, but stood there with steaming
neck ou,tstretched to nibble at a few
poor ears of earn which showed at
the tali -beard of the met.
Remy advanced caulesouglg to the
vine-franeed window. The song had
now ceased .and had given place to
oath -interrupted laughtene T,he man
in the courtyard, his body well screen-
ed against any sadden surprise from
the room he VMS weeding, availed
himself of a small aperture in the
blind -for it wee the Spring of 1798,
a time when men looked with suspi-
cion on man, and when it wane well
to move warily and act with an in-
finite caution.
It was but a small Romblon of the
apartment of the "Star of Navarre"
that was visible, but it showed enough
for Remy to draw hock with a muttaa
ed curse. Seated at the head of the
black oak" table was a man, bearded
and very dirty. On the hoard before
him, papers and documents were 'nix-
ed with the remains of a meal and
with empty wine flasks.
More noteworthy still was the me-
iosesassortment of weapons spread
over the person of the sintstee-look-
ing individual himself. From the
pocket of the great coat which was
hung over the back of his chnie a
email blunderbuss showed its stock;
in a belt at his waist two other fire-
arms were ready to hand, whilst a
poignend end a stiletto, in their milted -
nese, kept the other weapons company.
Remy did not need to raise his,eyes
from this arsenal to the evil face to
know that he was Icoking *at the in-
famous Herat, the devilish factotum of
the Committee of General Safety, the
friend anal eonfident of Robespierre,
the wretch to whom nothing was
veered and who spared neithee friends
nee family SO that hes fatal lists be
filled and Madame Guillatine be net
kept waiting.
Often had Inc seen the armored
figure of the "ferret of the Marais
quarter.," and Inc laiew wen the man's
cowardice, how in ackiition to his
euperfluity al ,weepone he never mov-
ed without a bodyguard of armed rut:
flans, e.ager and ready to dio the bid.
ding of their hideous masker.
Remy could- not, from his peep-
hole in the blind, eee how inee.sy thee
sten had with him now, but he judged
from the sound and frost the shaclowe
that fleshed at, intervals acmes the
wail and the blind that they number-
ed at least half a. dozen,, and be fell
back to where hie tired home, with
drooping neck, nearly slept in the
shadow of the cart.
Remy stroked the -moist man.e,,and,
holding tho nest ile to prevent a pos-
sible neigh, led the poor spent beet
morose the cobbles 'and through the
stone •archway to the street. He gave
a glance behind him to see that ail
was quiet, then mounted arid, taking
the way that laysouthward, left the
city by the Barrier d'Arteis.
The plains of Touraine *stretriced
out gray to the horizon in ti level
monotony, and the little marshy lakes
reflected the glory of the setting sun,
Behind the horseman the toners and
minarebe of the city showed a delicate
tracery against the evening sky caret
from eume ',belfry a peal of bells
sounded. Once free of the city, Remy
had allowed the bridleto slip unheed-
ed upon bhe mane and wee letting his
home snake hes own pace, Willi1S1; the
rider gave himself up to speculation
on why it was that Heratthe friend
Of the Terror and daily companion of
Poriquiler-Tinvilie, should be to farl
from Paris
He knew that the Conventioe wtes
in the habit Of sending out pro-consele
to spy Upon the doings of the previa,
dul tribtasals, but he did not remem-
ber havieg heard that Bleat had a tri -
Maned. He told himself that it meet
he the biggest Of game that could
draw Herat away from the happy
hunting greaand of the oapital, and he

of wino end Supper, a comfert hat
easily unglenstood save by those who
leave spent twenty boutts in the saddle,
Sind his hens() haid doubtless, in his
OW11 WelY, bad very similar thoughts.
And now, to be forced into tale re-
maining two natees of Isis journey --
which he had intended to ,resume, re-
freshed, in the morning -was not
pleasant, Besides the Battle haunlet of
Massey, which was his destination,
boasted but a poor rest for travellers
--anti they would not be eltnetfaing
hint at the Chateau de Chauville until
the ns5rrow. On second thought, how-
ever, Remy told himself that Herat's
presence in Bias complicated matters,
and hie exeund, which hitherto had
seemed to can for no undue haste,
rkovi took can a sinieter Sir,ndflOnnee.
SO deep in thought was he that the
distance meaner' covered in less time,
than he had imagined possible, and
raising hes eyes he was .setearieed bo
see the leetee cluster of red reefs nest-
ling among the foliage of the ohest-
mit trees, and which, with the church,
composed the village of IVIassay.
The house lying bock learn thel
load and showing the sign of the
"Three was a poor enough
substitute for the -"Star of Navarre,'
but to the saddle -weary man it at
least promised rest •arntd refreshment.
As he pulled up before the low door-
way some peasants, who were taking
their thin :wine on a bench outside,
looked up surlily. •
Remy Peranoeurt smiled grimly as
Ise dismounted. Time was when these
men would have sprung up, hat in
hancl, to do him star-itice; now -wen,
it was the turn of the .people and whry
should they le,ave them wine to• hold
thebridle of a stranger who, like
enough, wee an aristocrat aavd an on-
emy of the glorious Revolution that
was to do so inueh for them and
theirs?
There was Mae .of the anistocrat
showing in PeranZrourt, as, trave1-
stained and dirty, he tied his horse to
a ring let into the post of the door
and made his way inside the house.

"Er-Oibizen Perancouat, is it not?

"Yes, Jacques -I beg pardon, Citi-
zen Jacques. Togleg France groans
under the ecitizen' curse, Oh, I don't
mind?" as the innkeeper, putting his
fingers to his kips, nodded in the di-
rection of the drinking peasants, "no-
thing seems to matter now. Our
heads are sure to drop, however we
act. Since the citizen patriots arrested
the citizen king and as many of his
citizen family as they could lay thew
citizen hands on, we citizen se.tivers

Penh! Titizesesi-I can smell them
here Give me some of your best,
landlord, to take away the taste."
The travellecr paused to drink the
wi,ne which 'hie hetet poured out, then
he added in 05 lower tone:
"The Marquis de Dartigny-is he
at the chateau?"
"ITe was yesterday. You are gang
there, citizen ?-you have news of his
son? He wes one of those who die -
fended the Tuileries, was he not?"
Thera as Remy TrOdidted 0,170T bbs
"News takes long to roach here. What
think you they will do with the que-
with Grboyenne Capet? •
For answer Remy took up a knife
from the table, and poising it hori-
zontally, kb it fall edgewise en the
board. He rose with a little laugh.
"As for the young seigneur, as one
of the officers of the Petit Perea he
is 'thspecte It does riot do for any
of the defenders el flea Tuileries to
show face in Paris. You and T, lend -
lord -we who are such staum.:1 sup-

ed nt ,Tacque•s as he spoke and frivitshed
his wine. "I cans leenre isty horee
here, I suppose -I will likely shop at

Remy ePrancourt steopee out along
the uneven reed, turning off into a
narrower track, which, threading a
litele wood, led to the beidge which
spenned the moat of the Cheteen de.

The man crossed thebridge and
looked in set bile little lodge flanked
with its towers, tiny counterparts of
those of the building itself. A sleepy
servant took leis message and a few
moments later Remy was ushered
into the great dining hall of the castle.
Dinner was ever, but wine and a
dish of fruit still remained upon the
poltiehed.eak of the long table, A small
fire _had been lighted oa the magsive
hearth and shone upon the features of
an elderly man who rose from an arm-
chair aa his visitor entered.
eAk! Remy, 1 am glad to see you;
but Gaspard'e letter said to -morrow
-I am •afraid you win not find as

He turnectand pulled a silken bell -

and for a meal to be served at once.
He motioned Remy into es chair fac-

'Yes, Remy. I'm glad to see you -
glad, and perhaps it little frightened.
