and speed, and are to-day the fastest

“Could you describe tile man from

And idwll th« truth, I did pity him.
hhd turned from the burial of his
brother to pay for his brother's folly,
aod bis crushed spirits showed the an-
guish of hts feelings.
So I topk tho fellow’s hand after re-
viving Ike $1,000, and thanked him for
the gentlemanly manner in which he
had tried to right his brother * wrong,
hud we parted.
A few years later. I was atteuding ?he
fair atibooisviik, and- admiring the
beauty and speed of the fine horses ex-
hibited on ’he traek. when my atton-
such overwhelming evidence hi .proof
of my ownership that he agreed to sur-
render.
, 1 paid him $1,000, the amount which
l received Irora the rogue, feeling that
he was the more injured of the two,
and received back my team, mutually
agreeing to spend another thousand, if
neeessary, in bringing to justice our
thief; for we were persuaded that the
hunch-back, the twin brother and the
clerical-looking person were one and
jhe same individual.
A minute description was given to
detectives in the various large, cities of
oar country; polios reports were care-
fully read, but nothing from our. man
could be discovered. Finally, believing
that he had been picked up under some
assumed name and imprisoned, 1 bad
almost allowed the matter to fade
frofii my mind, when one winter, my
health failing me, 1 heeded the advice
of.my physician and went to Florida.
In SL Augustine I took board at a sort
of select hotel, patrctiiaed principally
by Northern families wintering there
for health and pleasure, and all of them
representatives of wealth. Among the
guests at the dinner table my first
evening there, was a young lady of
rare beauty and engaging manners to
whom I was introduced as Miss Effie
McKnight. the only ‘ daughter of
widow from Baltimore.
Our landlady turned to the daughter
and said: “Mias Effie, I have pleasing
news for you. Count. Van Earl has
written, engaging rooms, saying we
may expect him in a day or two.”
At this announcement the count be-
came thfe topic of conversation, and
taw in the pleased smile which flitted
acres. Miss Effie’s face that the count’s
comihg interested her particularly; and
in the two days preening his arrival,
I noted the eager interest she took in
' every thing pertaining to him.
I have often thought that the pursuit
of any oovbted object ap to the very
eve of its possesion is the most bliss-
ful state of human existence; there is
nothing in the possessing of that object
that even, approaches tbte dreamy, hope-
ful, happy longjng for the time to come
when the cherished idol of onr hearts
will be ours to hold in contentment.
But this aside. Count Van Earl, _
learned, hail not only an Immense for-
tune, but was heir prospective to an
extensive landed estate in England anc
Wales. He was an Oxford graduate
and had taken an extra course in Edin-
burgh. His travels had taken in every
point of the compass, ‘and he talkec
like a book about the beauties of Sibe-
rian wilds and the splendor qf Oriental
skies; he had touched the mold anc.
mast of ancient tombs, and walkec
with the Turk apiong hfs modern
graves; in fact, this titled scion of no-
bility was so promising an acquisition
to oor select circie that it was not sui^
prising to see an extra display of silver
on the table for the greeting of the
count .
I remember well the morning of his
merited. My room opened fronting the
halt, and as he ascended the broad
stairway in company with his valet I
had a-fair view of his face. It was the
face of tnyhotorious swindler and thief
a face that once seen could hardly be
forgotten, es^eqially when (he force of
.circumstances had photographed it on
the memory, as in ray ease.
Now here'was a dilemma. This man
was society’s pet and the affiaacei
husband of a beautiful and aristocratic
lady, and I a stranger. But I resolved
to act, and act at oaee. So leaving the
hoqsc I sought and obtained an inter-
•view with a well-known d**tecti%e who

COOKING AS AN ART.
The Elevating Influence of Domestic Dntles
Well Performed.
No fair-minded person, looking at
the subject through the cle^r medium
pf reason, would say, there was any
thing dishonorable in cooking, and
there is surely nothing that indicates
moral perversity In the acts of sweeping,
ducting and washing dishes. .There is
nothing in housework that vitiates the
moral or-weakens the physical system.
And yet housework is the very employ-
ment that working'girls shun as if it
were pollution; the work which all
native-born American wometi regard
as a disgrace.
If the skill required in doing a* class
of work may be taken as a standard ol
its respectability, then surely cooking
is as respectable as , telegraphing, oi ter drink
Ijook-keeping, or type-writing. Cook-
ing is a chemical process, and the good
Cook should know as much of the con-
stituents with wliich she deals, their
chemical affinities, the proportions in
which they should be mixed, and theii
reactions upon each other, as the
chemists knows about his salts and
acids in his laboratory. It takes well-
nigfi as much skill to manage a stove
as it does to man’age a chemist’s retort.
Cooking, rightly considered, is a mys-
terious alchemy, a .field of .occtflt
science into which’rft) untrained novice
should thrust her awkward hands.
Down with the uneducated cook! There
“How does I do?” replied the old

“A simple child of nature,” mused
the traveler, “an instrument upon
which the skilled politician may play
the tune of his unscrupulous improvisa-
tion.” Then addressing the old negrb
the sympathetic traveler added: .“You
