The Fourteenth Guest The <1oor of the great white house in Park lane swung open furiously, nnd Mr. Parker. Jones, AT. P., cloth ed in the regulation uniform which gociety has allotted to men for even ing wear, stood fitfully on the door step, sheltering himself from the rain beneath the classic portico. Tho night was so unpleasant that ihe street wa3 well nigh deserted, und it therefore happened that for several minutes the M. 1\ ^canned the thoroughfare without espying a, i wayfarer At length, however, a tall, j well built young man ambled past the house. He w art shabbily dressed, but there was something in his bearing which proclaimed good breeding, and this was sufficient for Mr. Parker Jones' pr?s -nt and somewhat eccentric pur "Hi! Hi!" he shouted. "Er? could you come up here for a mo ment ?" The young man stopped slrort and regarded him with amazed eyes. "What do you want?" he asked in a well bred but surly tone. "1 want to speak to you." The youth hesitated for a mo ment and then swung himself into the doorway. "Er?come in here out- of tho rain," muttered Mr. Parker Jones. He led the way into a small smoke vooin at the rear of the house and then, surveying the young man, eaid abruptly : "Are you disengaged this even ing?" The other smiled bitterly. "To tell you the truth," he re plied, "I had an engagement with a certain personage whom we must all meet at some time." "Er?who may that be?" asked Mr. Parker Jones. I "Death!" replied the youth, and his voice was so harsh that the M. P. leaped backward in terror. ! "Dear, dear! How shocking!" murmured the M. P. "I presume you are?er?unfortunate ?" i "I am starving. Haven't had a meal since yesterday." Mr. Parker Jones rubbed his hands. "Upon my wcrd, this is most for tunate/'* he observed, "for my ob ject in summoning you to my house was to invite you to dinner." The youth stared. "Dinner?" he echoed. "I have almost forgotten the meaning of the iword." "Then refresh your memory by making one of my wife's party this evening. I perceive that you are a gentleman and that you will do noth ing to make me regret my some what unconventional invitation." The youth smiled. "I certainly don't eat my food like a savage, if that is what you mean," h? replied. "But why on earth have you bestowed this honor npon me?" "For the very best of reasons. Hy wife Is the most superstitious person in London and absolutely re fuses to sit down thirteen at table.'* ' He then went on to explain that ihe fourteenth guest had been pre vented from attending by reason* of ;a domestic loss and that as there had been no time to hire a profes sional diner out he had been com pelled to fall back upon. the. first likely person whom he had espied in Park lane. "Well, this is a lucky accident for me," observed the young man, with a laugh, "and I can promise you that 1 shall do justice t? your cook's achievements. But I can't sit down .to dinner in these clothes." *Of course not. Come to my room, and you shall have an evening suit of my son's, which ,he left behind >when he went to Oxford. Your fig iuxe is?-er-^-very similar to his, and the clothes will fit you fairly well/' Now, the M. P.'s behavior was certainly unusual, but he . was in fear of his wife, and as that lady 'had announced her intention of abandoning the dinner party unless a fourteenth guest could bo pro cured, MY. Parker Jones had decid ed to do tho first desporate deed that occurred to hia inventive b?ain. Hence did it come about that half jam hour later Mr. Talbot Lake stood in th? drawing room, garbed- in snowy shirt, and splendid clothes, chatting with his hostess as though 'he had lived in Park lane all hia life iand had never dined on sausage and i mashed potatoes. | Mrs. Parker Jones was delighted and' beamed upon the youth with j great kindliness, introduced him to {pretty Maisie Hope and asked hia j to take that young lady down. The dinner .was good, and the talk was not mere dull thun usual, so that he esjsysd himself immense ly. But there was a skeleton at the; feast, and the skeleton was named ?Tomorrow/ Tomorrow he must go hack to the old life or seek release in the river. Tomorrow 1 "Hew gad yon look r said Maisie ?f a sudden. "I suppos? you are awfully bored. Tell mo your thoughts," she said softly. He smiled bitterly. "I/tras thinking of those wondexv frl lines oi Whittier," ho made an swer in a low voice whiehwas not reproachful tone, "do you Icnow, Mr. Lake, that I think you aro talk ing very wrongly?" "Indeed!" he returned, with a smile. "Yes, indeed I do! At. your age there :s no might have been. 'Shall be* ought to he your motto and noth ing else." He laughed bitterly. ffhly whole life lias been a fail ure," he muttered. "Then make it a success hence forth." Onee again the low, bitter laugh left his lips, and he suid in an un dertone : "What is a man to do when he is deserted, beaten hack, crushed and miserably poor?" Mahne smiled proudly. ''The young," she declared, "the young ure never poor." The words echoed through the avenues of the young man's brain as ho sat at the gorgeous dinner table, and he was about to tell the girl how much her counsel had encour aged him when an episode occurred which sent, him sick with horror. In stretching forth her hand to take some fruit from the dessert dish Maisie Hope had brought down the shaded candle that s'ood beside her. The flame had leaped into her filmy sleeve, and, lo, already she was enveloped in fire ! Without an instant's hesitation Talbot Lake wrenched off his coat and flung it around the girl,, and soon the flame was extinguished. Maisie, terrified and well nigh on the point of fainting, was borne away to Mrs. Parker Jones' room, and a doctor wes immediately sum moned. He pronounced tho girl's injuries trifling enough, hut added that the shock might prove serious. But fortunately the doctor's fears were not realized, for when on the following day Talbot called at her house to inquire concerning the girl's condition he was told that she was already on the point of recov ery. "Miss Hope is anxious to see you, sir," said the servant. "Will you step into the library ?" The young man followed the foot man through the passage, and a mo ment later he stood in the hand somely furnished room. Maisie was lying on an ottoman, and she rose slightly as he entered. "How glad I am to see you!" she 6aid softly. "But, oh, how can I thank you for what you did last night ? One cannot thank a person for saving one's life as if it was a Christmas present I" "Then why not dispense with thanks altogether?" he said as he took her hand. "How nicely you talk!" she said. "Now, suppose you hring up a chair close to this sofa and tell me all about yourself, for I feel sure you have had an interesting history." There was something in ner face and in her voice which wooed confi dence, and a moment later Talbot found himself in the act of reciting his story, ending with the episode which had made him the fourteenth guest at the dinner party on the previous evening. "So, you see," he continued? "you see, it was the merest chance which brought me to your side." "A lucky chance for me/' she re plied, and then, changing her tone, she said softly : "Mr. Lake, you did me a very great service,- and I should like to do something for you in return. Have I your permission to speak to my fa-, ther concerning you?" Talhot's heart beat with wondrous excitement. John Hope was one of the most powerful men in London, and a word from him could achieve wonders. "Dare I ask so much kindness?" he murmured. "Then I shall speak to him, and he shall help you."* She kept her word, and a month later Talbot found himself appoint ed secretary to one of Mr. Hope's mining companies at a. very consid erable salary. From that day onward fortune favored him. He ; embarked in a lucky speculation, which was follow ed, by soveral more. The hour ar rived when he was among the rich est men in tho financial world, and he sought out Maisio and asked h*r to be his wife. "It was you who helped me to put my foot on the ladder'of sue ces?/' he murmured?"help me to remain there." And Mais??, with a wonderful joy ehming from her eyes, said. "Yetv* ^Pictorial Magazine.

Gainsborough, while painting por traits for a living, painted land scapes for his own pleasure and lived at llampstead during the summer that he might be constantly in fel lowship with nature. It was this love of nature and of simple things and the faculty of seeing beauty in them that gave such a choice dis tinction to Iiis work, because it was the expression of his own simple, lovable personality. Ife hud beauty in himself, and all his life it fed on simple delights?the joys of nature, of domestic happiness, of music and of his own nrt. He was born in the little town of Sudbury, on the river Stour, in the beautiful county of Suffolk. As a boy he loved io ramble in the coun try, sketching, and showed so much inclination for it and so little for any other kind of study that when he was fifteen he was sent .to Lon don and placed under the care of a silversmith, who procured him ad mission to the St. Martin's Lane academy. Here he worked for three years studying painting. Gains borough's eighteenth year was an eventful one. lie hired three rooms in Hatton gardens and set up as a painter on his own account. Meet ing with little encouragement, he re turned to Sudbury. There he fell a victim to the charms of a young lady of seventeen, Miss Margaret Burr, who had an annuity of $1,000, married lier and established himself in the country town of Ipswich. Here he worked on happily and quietly for fifteen years, continual ly studying in the open air and exe cuting such small'commissions for portraits as came to him, until he had succeeded in discovering for himself a manner of painting suited to his needs and had developed an extraordinary skill. In 1760 ho moved to Bath, at that time the most fashionable city out side of London. The gay world of that time congregated there to drink the waters. Gainsborough's success was immediate, but with increasing wealth there was no alteration in his simple method of living.?Charles H. Cafifin in St. Nicholas. Man In the Kitchen. Tho helplessness of mere man in the presence of ordinary domestic tasks was illustrated in the case of the old miner, who explained that he had once tried to improve his cook ing by studying a book of recipes. "It was no use," he 6adly confessed, "because every one of them receipts ?tarts off with 'Take a clean dish/ " He was kin to one of the sons of Mrs. Uunsmuir, a Scotchwoman liv ing in Pennsylvania. She was called away from home one day just after dinner. As she was leaving she said to the boys : "One of you must wash the dishes and the other wipe them and put them away, so that everything will be tidy by the time I get back." "All right, mother," said Jack. "But Will's got to wipe them. I'm willing to wash, but wiping i3 such greasy work !" Benefit of a Rural Life. Fresh country air is wholesome and a sovereign remedy for many of the ills that afflict the weary city dweller. The tendency in this coun try has been too much to crowd into the great cities, and many of the poor of the slums and overtaxed tenements would be greatly benefit ed if they could bo removed to the farms. The magazines that encour age the love of rural life are doing a great work, and not the least, fea ture of their mission is the cultiva tion of the aesthetic quality. They promote a love for the beautiful in nature that will result in the preser vation of much of the natural love liness of the country that has been too ruthlessly dealt with by the un appreciativo utilitarian in the past. ?Nashville Banner.

The Way Ho Ruled tho Church of Which He Was Soxton. Some half a century or so ago William Towne was sexton of a church in the old town of Charlton, Mass. He had o just appreciation of the dignity of Ins position, and so powerful was i is personality that the people generally took him as seriously as he took himself. J1 is rule was more rigid than that of the minister, and the hoy or girl who so much as changed counte nance in church time felt all the force of his indignation later. From his position in the right hand rear corner, under the lust window on that side, he could see everything that happened, and even the ciders of the congregation sat under pen alty of reprimand or ejection. In those days, the Springfield Re publican says. "Comical Brown'' used to visit Charlton even* year and give a concert. One year the town hall had been burned, and he had to give his entertainment in the church of which Towne was sexton. The church was crowded, and the humorist tried to be funny, but in vain. He sang his songs and made his jokes. Nobody smiled. Nobody laughed. He could not understand it at all, for ho did not see William Towne at his post in the rear, with Iiis elbow resting on the window sill and his eyes looking sternly around. After the entertainment the sex ton said to the humorist: "You must come agnin. You tickled 'ein all into kinks." "Come again?" said Brown, in as tonishment. (<1 guess notl Once will do for me. I didn't see any body smile or laugh or even ap plaud." "Applaud! Laugh!' said Towne, "I'd like to see 'em! I'd throw 'em outdoors. I've been sexton of this church nigh on to thirty years, and they've never done it yet !" People Who Vanish. Among the periodic waves which strike our great centers there if none so strange as that of mysteri ous disappearances. Such a wave selects its victims from all classe? ages. Men, women and children are impartially its prey. Sometimes the absentees return in a dazed condi tion unable to tell of their where abouts. Others present a mystery darker still, for they never return and are no more heard of. Foul play, a crazed fever for wandering premeditated flight, are called to ac count as causes^ but some of these mysteries have neither apparent cause nor end. It is a queer and weird feature of our modern life that these mysterious disappear ances can so easily take place and their subjects be neither traced noi recovered in spite of our crowded civilization. But perhaps it is be cause of it. The Soft Answer. "Madam," said the tramp as ? middle aged woman came to the door in answer to his knock, "woulc you give a poor man a bite to eat?" "Why," she replied, "you are cer tainly able to earn a living. Yoi don't look very old." "Looks are often very deceitful lady," answered tho hungry hobo "Why, I'm old enough to be youi grandfather." And a moment later he had hh i feet under the kitchen table, anc nothing she had in the pantry was too good for him. Improbability's Limit. "My boy," said the publisher at the author approached with a bun die of manuscript, "don't take uj my time unless you have something new and wildly improbable.
