] ip BILLY BUL j
?i DECEIVED HIS VE |
! By John S. Rafferty,
.' ?a ?..
' Mrs. W. Guernsey Batwell left for
Bar Harbor with many misgivings.
Florence, 7 years old, went with ber.
She had two trunkf uls of stunning
apparel, enough money to splurge
for at least two months, and she
was so tired of tho continuous per
formance of housekeeping in her
Hyde Park flat that she seemor! omi-,
nently equipped for an ideal exist
ence at the fashionable seaside re
sort. Put she wasn't. She had
misgivings, a mountain of them,
and when Bill}', her husband,
finally persuaded her to start and
rushed her and their daughter off
to the train she thought sue saw a
gleam of demoniacal joy in his eye,
and she was wretched without even
the satisfaction of knowing csactly
why.
Billy had been too anxious to get
rid of her, and he showed it For
two years she had begged him to
give her a season at the seashore,
and he had never felt financially
able till this summer. In May
he achieved a famous coup on the
board of thade and from that day
showed an almost offensive enthu
siasm about sending her on a fash
ionable vacation. As his eagerness
waxed, hers waned. He was a
youngish man of 40, with quite a
streak of boyish devilment yet in
him. She knew he was handsome
and that other women knew it as
well, and she tacitly resented his
evident delight over the plan to get
rid of her and their daughter for
two months. She wa?n't jealous.
Not a bit! Billy had never given
her cause for that, but he had been
so insistent about getting her
started and so atrociously glad
when she agreed that she would
have refused to go at all if she could
have found a single reasonable ex
cuse.
She put. an anchor to wind
ward before going by asking Mrs.
Howard, her net door neighbor, to
"have an eye to tho flat/' The ad
monition was quite unnecessary, for
Mrs. Howard was all eyes and ears
when it came to keeping posted
about her neighbors' affairs. But
Mrs. Batwell's request to "have an
eye" seemed to carry an unspoken
wish for occasional reports about
the deserted Batwell home, and the
impressionable Mrs. Howard made
a mental resolution to keep tab on
Billy and bulletin his wife every
time he did anything out of the
routine. Women are so tactful-and
sympathetic that way !
.So lairs. Billy went away with
gloomy forebodings, and Billy, thc
brute, hied himself to a "blind pig*
and, in the exuberance of his joy
bought two rounds for every mai
present.
Mrs.. Batwell, who was quite ?
handsome young matron, contri vee
to make something of a "hit" at Bai
Harbor, and after a week of min
gled uneasiness and pleasure sh?
was beginning to forget the caus<
of his misgivings and learning t<
make the most of her new surround
ings. Billy wrote every day. No
since the days of their courtshij
had his letters been so romantic, s<
ardent, so soulful. They wert
actually love letters, and the read
ing of them awoke again in he:
heart the girlish emotions that ha<
slumbered beneath these, later pro
saic years. She had begun to re
spond in kind when she got her firs
letter from Mrs.' Howard. It end
ed with this postscript:
"By the way, dearie, don't forge
to tell me who is this Hemingwa;
woman who is at your house noT
nearly every day and often in th
evening. Her daughter is beauti
f i:, I think, but the mother strike
mc as a bit bizarre. I think th
name is Hemingway or somethm,
like that. Who are they ?"
Mrs. Batwell nearly fainted whe:
she read that postscript. Grief, dc
s pair, rage, humiliation, shook he
- by turns. First she resolved to rc
turn to Chicago at once. The
ehe vowed she would never loo
upon her husband's face again. Sh
held her little daughter in her arra
for hoc VJ 'sobbing, and when th
child fell asleep she walked the floe
planning and discarding a doze
schemes for vengeance.
No wonder he was anxious to ge
rid of her and their darling child
Entertaining a "loud" widow an
her beautiful daughter", day an
night in her home-Ilemingwaj
Sire had never heard of, much les
met, such a person. She bogan
'dozen letters to Billy and toro thei
all up. She would wait and see ho
long? his hateful duplicity woul
continue. She was almost hy?terii
al the next day when his lette
more loving, more romantic an
more rhetorical than ever, was rc ai
"I suppose his vile letters'aro ii
spired by this Hemingway harpy
she sneered to herself.
Then she wrote a guarded letti
to Hrs. Howard, sacing that she he
only a "slight acquaintance*' wii
the Hemingways, thanking her f<
her letter and Adroitly urging ti<
to keep a close watch on her .hu
band's guests, "aa some of them tai
advantage of his good nature ar
are apt to get too gay."
Mrs. Howard's next two lette:
followed each other with ominoi
speed. The.firat intimated that t)
Hemingways had almost taken po
session of the flat, that they wo:
there all dav during Mr. Batwell
absence and that at night when 1
'came home tb?y remained in tue
parlor laughing and chatting, play
ing the piano and guitar till nearly
bedtime. Tho second letter brought
tlie fateful news that tho Heming
ways wore folly installed; that
Billy seemed to have gone "to board
elsewhere," but that he was a con
stant visitor "next door."
"Of course I suppose you know
all of these things, concluded the
letter, "but as you never mentioned
tha* you intended to give up your
flat I thought Fd write to you about
it. I hope everything is all right.
I have picked up a nodding ac
3uaintance with Mrs. H. and her
aughtcr, but they don't seem anx
ious to know me. It's mutual. I
think they're vulgar."
Mrs. Batwell did leave on the next
train after that letter. She showed
up at her flat in Chicago with fire in
her eyo and murder in her heart. A
blond,, handsome woman of about
35 opened the door.
"Are you Mrs. Hemingway?"
hisRP-d th? wife.
"Yes, ma'am," said the harpy
very politely.
"Well," almost shrieked the
wraihy Mrs. Batwell, "where is my
husband?"
"I don't know, ma'am, I-really
I'm afraid you're ilL Your hus
band? Madam, I never saw you
before; there's some mistake."
"Do you mean to tell me you
don't know Mr. William Guernsey
Batwell? You shameless"
. "Oh, goodness, what a start you
gave me!" said the bfond woman
sinking into a chair. "At first I
thought you were insane. You're
Mrs. Batwell, aren't you? I'm so
glad to meet you, but your husband
will be dreadfully disappointed.
He"
I "Disappointed !"
"Yes, indeed. I ought to keep
the secret, but it's too late now.
You see, he's fixing up a new home
for you on the boulevard, and he
hoped to surprise you. My daugh
ter and I just bought out all your
old furniture except the pictures
and a few heirlooms, and-why,
we've been busy for two weeks help
ing him to pack away ali your per
sonal things. He took thc last oi
them away yesterday. He's buying
all new things for your new home
We haven't, seen it, but I under
stand it's to be one of the finest lit
tle homes in Chicago. Oh, he'll bc
so disappointed! He had his heart
set on giving you a grand surprise
when you got home from thc sea
shore."
Mrs. Batwell was almost laughing
with delight.
"Can you keep a secret, Mrs
Hemingway?" she pleaded. "Don'
tell him that I was here or abou
this awful break I've made, wil
you?"
"Not a word," the gentle womal
agreed, "if you will keep my secret.'
"What's that?"
"Don't ever let on that you kne\
about the new house until you se
it. It would take half the pleasur
out of it for him."
'And Mrs. Batwell and Florene
went back to Bar Harbor withou
even dropping in on Mrs. Howan

day is a life fresh with reinstate

eventide is sobering into age. It i

oblivion at the close. Wc ore bor

Immense New York Hotels.
"If one of New York's big modern
hotels could be whisked to the coun
try and spread out in village forma
tion the result would be a model r,.o
prietary town of about 3,000 inhabi
tants. One-half of these inhabitants
would work, in relays, night and day,
for the comfort and entertainment of
the other half, whose obligation would
be the payment of the bills, which, in
the aggregate, would represent, ia- ad
dition to the running expenses and
perhaps $200,000 a year set aside for
the proprietor's profits, the interest on
$15,000,000,000 invested in land,
buildings and furnishings. Many
cities cannot muster a tax list of $15,
000,000, so that this town would be
conspicuous above all others for
wealth, and in completeness of the
details that make the material side of
life a joy it would be unrivalled. Some
of its houses would be constructed for
one family exclusively, and others
would be arranged in single rooms and
in suites. All would be furnished ia
the most luxurious fashion. In the
central ?fare house of the town's
steward would be found a greater as
sortment of ?applies for the cuisine
than in any publio market ia the
world. There would be a row of cook
shops, each devoted to the prepara
tion of a special course, ranging frcai
the soups and entrees and roasts to
the pastries and coffee. There would
be half a dozen big banquet rooms and
ball rooms, several music rooms and a
well-appointed theatre or two. The
town would have, of course, a tele
graph office, a complete telephone sys
tem and some means of rapid transit
td every house. Enormous boPers
would supply the heat and an electric
light plant would furnish the illumi
nation. There would be an ice plant
large enough to manufacture fifty tons
a day. There, would be silversmith,
blacksmith and tinsmith shops, elec
trical repair and machine shopo, flor
ists, hair-dressing rooms for men and
women. Turkish baths, upholstery
and furniture shops, decorators and
seamstresses, a steam laundry, a mes
senger service, a printing office, a wine
cellar, with half a million dollars'
worth of ohoioe vintages, and a elub
house, with billiard and reading rooms
and oafes. The town would be policed
day and night by a dozen private de
tectives, and it would have a well
trained fire department. There would
be a bank, over whose counters would
piss millions of dollars each year, and
a central executive office, with scores
of clerks and bookkeepers and audi
tors. The proprietor of this town
would assume all the housekeeping
cares of his 1,500 tenants and of many
of his 1,500 employees. He would
provide amusements and aot as the
Court of last resort. It would seem
as if the man who was rash enough to
attempt the management of such a
town, staking his fortune on the issue,
must necessarily fall, but as a fair
illustration it is net overdrawn. Its
parallel is found in a compact form,
with no features missing, and many
added, in the modern big hotel that
has reached the highest development
in New York.
"Neither the bigness nor the com
pleteness of a big hotel is appreciated
by the patron who finds hi? interest
satisfied with the accommodations
which it furn.?ues. He knows in a
general way that it may be a dozen
stories high and several cellars deep,
and that tho thousand or more guests
are attended by servants on every
band, and when he pays his bill he
believes that the charges aro exorbi
tant. One of these hotels, which
differs from the others chiefly in de
gree, represents an investment of $15,
000,000. The 1,400 bed rooms and
750 bath rooms in it are so constructed
by a series of inner courts that caoh
opens *o the outer air. It has several
concert halls and theatres, three great
ball rooms, and, in addition to its
publio dining room, where, during
Horse Show week, for instance, 10,000
people are served daily, it has a series
of private dining rooms, whioh are ar
ranged for from ten to ono thousand
persons. In the largest ball room in
this hotel was given one night last
winter the Charity Ball, attended by
3,500 people,, to whom supper was
served, and on the same evening in
other parts of "tho hotel were in pro
gress two concerts, a dinner of an as
sociation- of ?00 men, and a dozen
smaller dinner p ties in private din
ing rooms, each i~elated so completely
that no one of the 1,500 regular guests
need know of it."
"For his service the ohef of a big
hotel may receive $10,000 a year, a
big salary for cooking, but by no
moans ont of proportion to his value
to the hotel. He is supreme in his
workshop,, the ki tenon a, whioh are
large, brilliantly lighted and scrupu
lously olean rooms, with hardly a sug
gestion in tho Z.-.7 ?if broiling and bak
ing and roasting and~frying that is
going on all around. Tho chef, with
sub-chefs over the butcher shops, the
soaps, the entrees, the roasts, the
vegetables, the bake trees, the roasts,
the vegetables, the bake shops and the
pastries, and a hundred cooks are call
ing oat orders in French, fer they are
nearly all French or Swiss, and French
is the language of the kitchen as well
as of the court wherever a good eui
sine is attempted, and bustling around
in their white eaps and aprons, so
intent co their work that the intru
sion of a stranger is Dot uotice?. The
waiters, io their black coats, with
their order cards and their trays,
thread their way in and out among the
cooks, each hurrying to fill his order
in the shortest possible time. It is a
finely specialized kitchen, however,
and all the skurrying back and forth
and shrill calls in French for portions
of many dishes seem confusing only
for a moment. Then follows an appre
ciation of the wonderful system of the
plaoe that insures the highest art in
cooking, of the men who do nothing
but roast all day with a knowledge of
the exact number of minutes and even
seconds required to produce the best
results, of others who fry and bake '
and carvo and garnish, and of the
garde-manager where the portions of
meat and raw fcods are prepared and
dresoKu JD readiness tor the range.
"Each cook attends only to the pre
paration of his own dishes, and as for
tbs chef, ha seldom cooks at ail. He
has an office of his own, where he
keeps his memoranda, his books and
his special menus, and the secrets of
his business. During the rush hours
his plaoe is in the centre of the
kitchen, directing, watching, and,
when necessary, admonishing. If
several big banquets are in progress,
making it neoessary to send hundreds
of portions of each dish to them at
onoc, it is the chef's duty to sec that
these course; are sent up promptly,
and to check off each one on the bul
letin board at the time it is sent.
When he goes off duty one of his as
sistants takes his place. Besides thc
cooks there are a dozen men and wo
men who do nothing but ped potatoes,
others who make toast, and still
others who attend to thc big dish
washing machines. The butcher and
his assistants have charge of the sup
plies of meats, sonic of which-for
instance, beef-arc kept in the big re
frigerators, where the temperature
never varies a degree for three months
before serving. In strong contrast
with the dishes they have been pre
paring is thc comparatively simple
dinner of the cooks themselves. As
they sit at the long table in their
white aprons and caps before each one
is placed a bottle of claret. They are
the only employees to whom the hotel
serves wine. This is aright jealously
guarded by t^e cooks and, they allege,
made necessary by their work over hot
ranges."-George Barry Malton, in
Ainslee's.
Steer vs. Horse.
"Speaking of fine horses," said a
stranger in the city yesterday, "re
minds me of the sad incident-in the
life of Capt. James Evans, of Cum
berland county. Ten years ago there
was no man living that valued a fast
horse more than Capt. Evans, but now
he would pay as muoh for a good
strong blind mule as for Cresceus.
It ali came about this way: The cap
tain got hold of a horse that he was
certain was the quickest traveler ia
Cumberland county, and he spent all
his leisure time putting the animal in
good racing shape. He had visions of
unlimited first prizes at county fairs;
and Iber ts' a no doubt about the fact that
the horse was a hummer. One day
Capt. Evans hitohed him to bis light
dog cart started to town. Just as he
drove out of his gate, he met a farmer
that he knew, who was driving a big
tall white steer to an old frayed-out
top buggy. Tho captain said it was
the most remarkable ox that he had
ever seen and had the longest legs he
had ever seen on any cattle kind. The
captain and the farmer drove side by
side for about a mile, talking of one
thing and another, and just as tho
captain was about to touoh up his
horse and hurry on the farmer said:
" 'Well, captain, this is mighty
pleasant, but I reckon I must get on
to town.
"Gee Buck!"
"With that the tall steer reached
out his long legs and began to hit the
grit at a great pace.
"The captain was so amazed that
for a minute he sat in his cart and
watched that bloomin' ox trot. Then
he got mad, reaching for his whip,
chuckled and said:
" 'G'laug, Katy Flyer!'
" 'And Katy Flyer did all Bhe knew
how.'
'You may not believe it, but the
captain said he never was able to
catch that white steer, though he
raced him* for nearly seven miles.
Sometimes the farmer would let him
come pretty close and then he would
take another grip on his plow lines,
yelp 'Gee Buck,' and the way that
old he-cow would buckle down to the
earth and amble up and down these
hills was a caution. Finally the cap
tain realized that it was useless to
race any further, pulled in his blood
ed horse and watched thc trottic'
steer, with his tail stretched straight
ont behind, disappear from view.
Since this experience 'Capt. Evans
has had no uso for race horses." -

Signature of
Ingalts' Views on Death.
In tho Democracy of thc dead all
men at last are equal. There is uei th
or rauk nor statio? nor prerogative
in the republic of the grave. At this
fatal threshold the philosopher ceases
to be wiso, and the song of the poet
is silent. Dives relinquishes bia mil
lions and Lazarus his rags. The poor
mao is as rich as the richest, and the
rieh man as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury, and the debt
or >is acquitted of his obligations.
There the proud man surrenders his
dignities, the politician his honors,
the worlding his pleasures; the inva
lid needs no physician, and the labor
er rests from unrequited toil. Here
at last, is nature's final decree in
equity. The wrongs of time are re
dressed, injustice is expiated, the
irony of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution of wealth, honor, capa
city, pleasure and opportunity, which
makes life so cruel and inexplicable a
tragedy, ceases in the realms of death.
The strongest there has no supremacy,
and the weakest needs no defense.
The mightiest captain succumbs to
the invincible adversary, who dis
arms alike the victor and thc van
quished.

A Chance at Big Money.
The opportunities offered to farmers
by tho two great fairs to be held this
fall are in advance of all past records.
With Atlanta offering $1,000, $500 and
$800 for the best oounty exhibits, and
Savannah offering even larger prizes for
exhibits of this character, besides the
splendid premiums offered by both fairs
for individual exhibits, should inspire
every one.
Crop conditions are now favorable in
most sections of the state, and every
oounty should be represented at Atlanta
And Savannah. To say nothing of the
money to be won, it is t ruo that a conn j
can have no better advertisement, for
presentation as an argument to home
seekers, than a first-class agricultural
exhibit at these great fairs. The pro
raters lists are liberal in every particu
lar, and may be had upon application to
decretory T. H. Martin at Atlanta, or
to Secretary J. O. Shaw at &><vannah.

Water Core for Chronic Constipation.
Take twp cups cf bet water half au
hour before each meal and just before
going to bed, also a drink of water,
hot or cold, about two hours after
each meal. Take lots of outdoor exer

ular habit of this and in many cases
chronic constipation may be oared
without the use of any medioine.
When a purgative is required take
something mild and gentle like Cham

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
To the PnhJic;
Please note our change In business
from credit to Cash, and read the follow
ing below :
Our reason ior doiDg so are as follows:
First, our accounts being necessarily
small, and an endless amount of confu
sion and expense entailed to an injurious
degree, and the loss in bad accounts, and
the time and attention it requires to col
lect same.
Second, our current expenses, suoh aa
labor, fuel, gas, water and other aupplies
are cash.
The stand we have taken is one we have
been forced into. With a great many of
our customers we regret to be obliged to
pursue this course, but as we positively
cannot discriminate, we trust that you
will appreciate our position and not ask
for credit. All bundles delivered after
June lat and not paid for will be return
ed to laundry.
For eonverienoe of our customers we
will Issue Coupon Books sold for cash.
These books can be kept at home and
payment made for b?ndle? when deliver
ed with the coupons. You can get these
books at Laundry oillce, or from the
driver.
This change goes iutoellect 1st of June,
1901.
We desire to thank nil ol' our customers
for the patronage tbey have kindly favor
ed us with in the past and hope we have
merited the same, and hope to still be
entrusted with your valued orders after
onr change goes into effect for cash only,
which will alwajs receive our prompt
attention. Very respectfully,
