(Original ]
This Is a true historical story, but as
I give It In story form I think It best
to cliungo tho uarnes. The main Inci
dents nre Riven exactly oh they oc
curred In tho latter half of the eight
eenth century.
Alrln Marstou, u cabinetmaker, hud
a son, John, whom tho father was
bringing up In his business. But the
young man was of a very different tex
ture from that of a builder of furni
ture. He was of an Ideal, dreamy na
ture and Instead of attending to his
duties spent Ills time in making little
sketches. Was there a clean, smooth
board or an unpolished d??k in the
shop there was sure to be a pencil
drawing on It which could at once bo
recognized as a likeness of some of the
workmen. Alriu Marstou saw some of
them and?*e-.!s pleased with them. He
was more pleased when he learned
that his sou had made them and, re
linquishing his design of teaching the
boy a trade, put him in n way to take
drawing lessons. The student Improv
ed rapidly, showing suUiclcnt talent to
warrant becoming a professional artist.
Then he I ell ill.
There l>eiiig no one iu the family to
nurse him. a country girl was called
In for the purpose. That was long
before trained nurses were thought of.
Mary Ke.ves was not made attractive
by the uniform that now decorates the
I nurse. She had no beauty to win the
j young artist, nor had she mental en
! dowments above her station. She was
) a plain country girl, nothing more.
But John Marston w?9 imaginative.
He saw her moving about the room
ministering to his comfort, and of the
commonplace figure he made a Venus,
while the ordinary face in his eyes be
came a paragon of sweetness.
The Invalid recovered and married
Mary Keyes. He lived with her sev
eral years and had children by her.
Had It uot been for his talents doubt
less there would be no especial story In
his life. U was only too evident that
he wu born for a higher life than the
cue be was leading. His pictures ex
cited the Admiration of critics, and the
young mau grew ambitious. Oue day
he said gooc'by to his wife and chll
I dren to go to London to study art.
| He did not return to theiu for more
than thirt.v years.
The cabinetmaker's son became n
great artist. In portrait painting bo
was the only rival to the celebrated
Sir Joshua Reynolds. Ilis name, his
fame, his praise, were on every lip. lie
was Invited into the houses of the no
bility and was paid enormous gums for
painting their portraits.
Why UK1 he never return to his fam
ily? Who knows? Possibly before he
left home the beauties he had himself
created had falleu away and he saw
the ordinary woman, neither endowed
wfth beauty of person nor of mind.
Perhaps the scales were removed from
his eyes by visions of the women of
the capital. One of these after he be
came famous wove^ibout him a spell.
She had a beautiful body and a cor
rupt soul. There was the same Imag
inative process in a different form as
had moved him in the case of Mary
Keyes. Mary had a pure spirit, but
au ordinary face and figure, on which
be had built a thing of beauty. On the
woman he met in London, beautiful
without aud rotten within, he built a
superstructure that onthralled him.
She was the intKtress of the greatest
sailor of a nation of sailors. She was
pleased to bewitch the famous painter,
but she laughed at bis bewitchment.
He stretched forth his hand to grasp
a rose and plucked h thorn.
And now comes something more per
fect than any of the beautiful creations
of the artists.
An old man. he returns to the wife
and family he '.has neglected tor the
greater ^>art of a lifetime. His wife,
too, has grown old. She knows of his
triumphs and of his desertion of her In
heart as well as in person. W6 ma>
expect that she will receive him as a
stranger, ibat she will reproach him
with his neglect and that she who had
the ilrst rltrht to share In his triumphs
has been denied them, that, if possible,
they would have been given to others- -
others signally unworthy of them.
When the aged Invalid rode up to
her door she went out wltb open arms
to receive him. He tottered into the
house supported by her. She spoke
no word of reproach. The love he had
?lighted for more than three decades
was still there for him. As she had
nursed him In bis youth she nursed
him Hi his old age.
Again he saw her ministering to blm
not as a youth, in youth herself with
life before them, but as a decrepit old
man. The dreams they then dreamed
had been far more than realized, but
not for her, and they conlil not nov
be recalled that she might enjoy them.
He remembered his triumphs and how
unworthily they had been bestowed.
And yet she was caring for him as
tenderly as If he had shared them
with her.
A poet has created a fancy of n
p -ri asking for admittance to heaven
nnd denied unless she will brlug a gift
most acceptable. She goes back to
earth and br!n?s various gifts, ail of
which are rejected. At last she taketf
a tear from the eye of a repentant sin
ner. This Is the gift, the one gift, by
which she may attain a dwelling with
the blessed.
May not the ncclected wife have
seen that tear in the eye of the man
who had so shamefully deserted her?
Then was a heaven opened to both
with which the plaudits of the heath
en throngs of I.ondon could not be
compared. Though the past could not
be recalled, what remained of the fn
? rare was of heaven's own kind.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Homemade Soap.
Tut six pounds of common wishing
soda and tliroe pounds of unslacked
lime In n pot aud pour over It four gal
lons of boiling water. Let stand until
perfectly clear, tlien drain. Pour In
two gallons of cold water, let It settle
clear, then drain off into a pan or other
vessel.
Now add to soda arid Umewater six
pounds of clean fat and boll to harden,
thinning from time to time with the ]
two gallons of cold water poured on
alkaline mixture after draining off the
four gallons of hot water.
Add It when there Is danger of Its
boiling over.
Try the thickness by cooling a spoon
ful on a plate. Stir In a handful of salt
Just before taking from the (Ire. Wet a
tub to prevent sticking, turn the soap
In and let stand until solid; then cut In
bars and put on a board to dry. It
should dry for about three months.
This makes about forty pounds of soap
said to be much superior to the com
mon bar of yellow soap.
Grape Juice.
First pick the grapes from the stems
and wash them thoroughly. Wash In
a preserving kettle aud add enough
water to keep the grapes from stick
ing to the bottom of the kettle. Boll
for twenty minutes, then pour Into a
Jelly bag and let It drip, Just as you
would for Jelly. Do not squeeze the
pulp or the Juice will not be clear.
Bring to the boiling point again and
sweeten to taste If yon like, or It may
be sweetened when used, as. It will
keep perfectly without sugar If sealed.
While boiling hot stand the bottles In
a dlshpan or boiler on boards or straw.
Kill the pan with water to near the
top of the bottles and keep boiling
while you pour In the boiling grape
Juice. Cork and seal at once.
Remedy For Nosebloed.
Aside from the cold compress or Ice
which every oue knows should be put
011 a child's neck at the base of the
bead, there are other remedies which
should be resorted to If the bleeding is
at all profuse. In addition to the cold
compress on the back of the neck lay
a cloth wrung out of cold water over
the root of the uose and Instruct the
child to hold the arms high over the
head until the nose stops bleeding.
The child should not be allowed to
blow his uose for some time after the
bleeding has stopped, for If this is
done it is apt to make the nosebleed
ngnln and more profusely.
Handy Wall Bracket.
To those who have to make the most
of every Inch of space In the home the
bracket devised by a New York man
will appeal strongly. The bracket con
sists of two heavy wire arms shaped
like a letter "U" and having lateral
FOLDS AGAINST WALL,
extensions at tbe ends which fasten In
two plates that are screwed into tbe
wall or door. Below and between tb??<e
plates is a third, which holds a pair ?
supporting arras, tbe ends of \vhl> li
fasten In circular loops In the toujnui
dlnal arras and holds them upright.
The whole apparatus can be put up
anywhere in a few minutes and taken
down as easily. When not in use the
supporting arras can be slipped out of
place and the bracket folded against
the wall or door. A board can be
placed across tbe top if needed.
French Dressing.
Olive or peanut oil, six tabiespoon
fuls; lemon juice or vinegar, two or
more tablespoousfuls; salt, oue-haif
teaspoouful; paprika, one-fourth tea
spoonful, aud onion Juice, one tea |
spoonful.
To prepare put the salt and paprika
iu a mixing bowl with a small piece
of Ice and add the oil a little at a
time, stirring constantly and rapidly.
Then the acid is added In the same
manner till the mixture thickens.
Then the onion juice Is put in.
Olive Oil as a Medicine.
A tablespoonful of olive oil taken In
a cup with a little orange Juice will be
found beneficial for the digestion and
will ease liver trouble. Olive oil serves
as an appetizer, and those having no
appetite should have it served on vege
tables and salads.
Catarrh, either of the stomach or of
the throat, will be benefited by taking
the oil internally, cither on salads or
alone.
Automatic Custard Stirrer.
Place a large clean marble in the
kettle while boiling milk, sauces,
stews, porridge, custards or liquids.
It will automatically do the stirring
during the cooking process and saves
eny one standing and wasting pre
cious time doing It with a spoon. It
prevents any burning, and you may
attend to all other details of your dln
nor while the marble Is busily helping
you.
