THE MARPLOT, v‘ BX ABTHTB PIEM). UOU8TA VAN Etten twisted in to a whisp the letter which had just reach her ( from her brother, and cost her 'Vgiff? pretty blue eyes - ■ =s *' “ downward in si lent meditation. At the end of the breakfast table _ opposite where phe sat another young lady was enjoy ing the contents of a newly arrived .morning newspaper. At the first glance •granger viewing this quiet domestic scene wonld have thought that Hie. young ladywAdhig *•» news paper was the first one’s double. Closer observation wonld have re sulted in the hypothesis that they were twins, and singularly similar in appee" uce, though by no means identical. The latter surmise would have been equally incorrect as the former, for there was a year’s differ ence in the ages of the two sisters, fletta, the one reading the newspaper, being the younger of the two. The sisters usually dressed alike, and in the street were almost indistinguish able to all but the closest Acquaint ances. As to disposition, who ever found two sisters alike in that respect, even if twins? ‘‘Was your letter from Robert?” asked Nettn, eventually looking up from her pnper. Augusta wagged her head in an five nod. “He Is qnLj JLll, t Another nod. “I am going over to the Sandersons, this morning.” “Allright, dear." “Won’t yon go?” “No, thanks. I have to cook.’ “Very well. Perhaps I shall stay to lunch, or I may be back early.” “There is no need to hurry, dear, unless yon choose. I shall be too busy to feel lonely,” replied Augusta, still very thoughtful. Nctta went upstairs shortly after wards, and arrayed herself for calling, after doing which she came down, kissed her sister good bye, snd de parted on-foot for the home of the Sandersons. The' servaut^came in to take away the breakfast things a little later, and Augusta rose, went to the window to see that Netta had really gone, and then ventured upstairs to her own chamber. Going to her wardrobe, she took several neftt looking gowns down from their pegs, and selecting the prettieat, prepared to make her toilet in an ex ceedingly careful manner. For a person who was about to do cooking the conduct of Mias Augusta Van Etten seemed incomprehensible. Somebody hss said though, that wo man is an enigma. , But what could there be enigmatical about a simple youug country girl, scarcely out of her teens, and reared in the bucolic atmosphere of a place like Chesterville? To avoid any appearance of being about to develop a mystery we will state the facts of tbu case as simply aa possible. Robert Van Etten, the head of the family, and brother of the two girls, was engaged in business in Phila delphia, from which city Chestervibe was distant some fifty miles; and being himself married, the girls were left a good deal to their own devices. Robert's experience of matrimony led him to consider that it was an ex cellent thing for everybody, and as his sisters were rather isolated where they lived, he took every opportunity o: bringing them in contact with «out) - men of a desirable character. J The letter Shis morning had an nounced that Mr. Seymour, a friend oi Mr. Van Etten’*, as well connected ns ho was well-to-do, would call to pay his respects when passing through Chesterville, on his bicycle, and il bespoke for him a hearty welcome. Mr. Seymour was due, the letter Stated, Tuesday morning, and as this m-looking "aafe rapidly approaching the cottage. Misi Van Etten surveyed the stranger crit ically as he descended from hfs bfeyclt ami strode with an athlete’s easy grace of movement up to the porch ol the front door. “fiing-a-ting” went the bell, ami Augusta listened for the coming of the maid to answer it. No maid materialized, and the bell was rung again a little louder. Miss Van Etten rose from her seat and went to the door. A young man was bowing profusely to her when ahe opened it. “Miss Van Etten, I presume?” the handsome young man said, promptly. “Yes, Mr. Seymour,” retaliated the young lady—adding at once, “Como in Mr. Seymonr. I received a letter from my brother in Philadelphia this morning, stating that you would be hero to-day. Please take a seat.” The young athlete dropped com fortably into an inviting chair, re sponding “Yes—Philadelphia—broth er-delighted,” and so forth among the polite rejoinders. “Doesn’t bicycling fatigue one dreadfully?" asked Miss Van Etten, as soon as she had scolded the girl for her tardiness and fouud her own seat. “Not those who are used to it. You do not ride, yourself, Miss Van Etten?” “1 am afraid Chesterville would be shocked ont of its senses if one of its female inhabitants dared to do such a thing." “And yet such a charmingly pic turesque place, too!” ' “Yes,Chesterville was rather pretty, ” Miss Van Etten conceded. "Wasn’t it rather dull sometimes?” “Yes, terribly so.” “Were the neighbors sociable—who. were they, and what were their names?” Before Miss Van Etten was con scious of her actions she was giving n detailed description of her neighbors, and her caller was listening as intently as if he really intended making his home in Chesterville. His attentiveness was really flatter ing, to say nothing else. The more ho led her to talk the more charming Miss Van Etten considered him. He was evidently encouraging her in order to lengthen his call. But that was not at all unpleasant. After the neighbors had been exhausted the'j. conversation drifted to favorite au thors. It was surprising to see what a similarity existed in their tastes. The conversation was so animated that another wheelman, approaching the cottage was scarcely noticed by the busy couple. A commonplace 1 . ting man dis mounted from his bicycle, put a pack age under his arm, and walked up to the front door. “It is one of those horrid book agents, 1 know,” remarked Miss Van Etten, as she caught a glance of the newcomer through the window. On second thought she rose and went to the door to intercept the maid, who was going to answer the bell. “No one at home, mind, Clara!” she said firmly to the girl. “I don’t wish Lrbe interrupted.” A minute later the man retraced his steps down to the gate, strapped his package back on the machine, mount ed, and rode off quietly down the road. “Those book agents are a perfeel nuisance,” commented Miss Van Etten. ‘‘In^plerable, ” replied her vis-a-vis, promptly, adding, "as a rule they travel around with third-class publica tions, and are so deficient in mannei as to bore people insufferably. Il they would only sell first-class works and conduct themselves correctly, it wonld be very differaut.” Miss Vsn Etten acquiesced amiably. The subject *1 favorite books was resumed. “Yob have Men the new society novel, I presume,” enquired the Phil adelphian. Mias Van Etten had not been so fortunate. A dive into the bicycling costume, and from some in ner receptacle the younf, man brought forth a neatly bound volume, which be handed to Mias Van Etten. “These ar# only some of the illus- tre turns’, ” hs remarked, carelessly; the volumes have been gotten out in the most superb style. To tell yon the truth, Mim Van Etten, the author is a most particular friend of mine, and I am so enthusiastic about the success of his work that I am actually playing the roll of an amateur book-agent. 1 was sorry to heat yon speak so dis paragingly of the profession a few minutes ago, although they decidedly merit it, but you see, in my case it’s entirely different, something like a gentleman making a wager that In will cross the continent without a dol lar in his pocket. I simply insist thsl all my friends, of whom I have 11 large number, assist me to gratify my hobby, and pint for fun, make thorn all sign a coutraot to take tho book and help swell tho hank-account, in well as increase the reputation of ;ny friend, tho author. I your case, 1 sei that you are such an enthusiast over r ah "Et£en was blushing. UWe wis a hasty touch of the fingers, alow bow, elaborated to almost the length of the garden path, and the bools agent was gone. • • « • « * “I have brought Mr. Seymonr back with me. He called this morning and you were ont. (An inflection on the out.) But for Mr. Seymour's assist ance I don’t know what would have happened, for I encountered a lunatic in my walk and, well, Mr. Seymour will explain. He has a parcel for you, too, which in his haste he forgot to leave, and ho would not allow me to bring it back, so accompanied me to deliver it in person. It is a birthday present for you from Robert.” Miss Augusta Van Etten stood stu pidly staring at tho speaker, her sis ter, for fully a couple of minutes be- .fore an idea began to dawn- upon her, befogged comprehension. Then she managed to gasp hysteri cally : “Mr. Seymour.*' “Is there anything so terrible look ing about your brother's friend? Can’t you ask him to sit down ? Have you seen a ghost, or has a witch gone riding by on a broomstick, or what has happened. ” “Oh, nothing,” gasped Miss Vnv Etten, as she sank bak into a chair, her anticipated guest and her sister Nctta having seated themselves. __ “What did you say about«lunatic? ’ cried the cider Miss Van Etten, trying to cover up her absolute bewilder ment and chagrined feelings. “Mr. Seymour, please give mr sif ter an account ot (bat individual'l actions from whom you were kind enough to rescue me. “A rether good looking young man on a bicycle— ’ ... Miss Van Etten the elder almost ut tered a shriek. “Met your sister at a lonely part ol the road, between the two' villages and had the audacity, not only to address her, which by the way he did by her correct name, but to insist that he knew her and that he had apen.t an hour or more with her to-day previous to meeting her again.” “I happened to come on the scene a ' .«t at the time tho man was put ting his hand into his clothing, ns we both surmised to get some weapon, l Nought him a blow which apparently ••./ought him to his senses, for after Poking at us both fora few seconds with a bewildered air, he jumped on his bicycle and rode away at tho top of his speed.” “But he wasn’t feeling for a wea pon !” interposed Miss Van Etten. “Dray, how do yon know?” “He was simply going to show you the illustrations of the latest society novel.” “What on earth do you mean, Augusta?” “That I am the greatest idiot on earth and tint our resemblance to each other caused the misunderstand ing which led to your adventure. The person v5n saw (ailed here and 1 believed him to be Mr. Seymour, who I was expecting as I had been advised of his visit by Kobert, which, by the by, I forgot to tell you about. “So it seems.” “Believing it to be Mr. Beyraonr, 1 chatted with him for over an hour. Ob, tho baseness of that man, the cold-blooded villainy of book-agents! He led me on in inv delusion in the most wanton manner, and induced me to even ^4^11 a contract to taxe a copy fif the book from him on the strength of nu assertion that the author was a particular friend, Mid that be was greatly interested in his success. ” (Irrepressible laughter on the part of two.) “It is the same book that Mr. Sey mour has brought you from Robert.” “I even went so far, surmising that it was Mr. Seymour I was talking to, to send ont word to the real Mr. Sey mour when he called that I was not at home,” sobbed Augusta. “What an awful disappointment you have had, and how fortunate it was that I was out and happened to meet Mr. Seymour. AVe have arranged to go fishing this afternoon, won't yon come with us, Augusta, dear? But sufficient for the day is the evil thereof, when it leads you into a fear ful piece of • iladroitness and leaves you with p eadache, and a younger sister, already through the unfair in tervention of providence, ahead of yon in a matter of to much importance. - New York Advertiser.

Usually the first vegetable prescribed by the physician for the siok person who is beginning to nee solids ie a baked potato. A baked potato, however, may be no better than a boiled one unless it be done in so high a temperature that the starch is affected. Boiled potatoes can not bo subjected to a higher temperature than 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Baked potatoes may be done in such a way that they ore but a little better than boiled—for in stance, done in a slow oven. On the other hand if they arc put into a tem perature of 380 to 400 degrees Fahren heit, or what is called a “hot oven,” they will be done in snch a manner that tho conversion of starch will in a degree take place and the potqto bo consequently palatable and easily di gested.

If a room needs new toilet covers after the spring house cleaning, make them from white cotton point d’esprit laid over a color, and edge each piece with \ frill of the same, run with baby ribbons. A set seen recently was of white over pale orange. Cut a piece of white muslin or cheesecloth the size of the top of the dresser, and other places for which you want the covers, lay over them a thin layer of cotton spriukled with violet powder, then tack on a covering of colored sateen. Cut the piece of lace considerably larger than the linings, and catch the extra fulness here and there to the •lining, so that, when finished, the lace will lay up lightly and have a slightly crumpled look. Make a wide frill of the lace, turn in a wide horn, and over the hem and just above it sew on the baby ribbon. Set on the frill with a heading. Make a cover for yonr pin cushion, if you use one, in the same; way, but without any lining.—Now York Post, — . ■ —1RF A GOOD KITCHE.L The wise woman makes her kitchen comfortable. If she is her own maid of all work she finds that the trouble and thought she spends on that hum ble room are very wisely spent. If she has a servant she will find that the comfort of the kitchen will often be the measure of the servant’s stay and her willingness to work. The floor should be painted. There should be neatly bound mats or carpet here and there, but no tacked or “put down” rug. The walls, when it is pos sible, should ba covered with lino leum, tiles or something equally dur able aud easy to keep clean. There should be light colored Holland shades at the windows and short sash curtains of white dotted muslin. There should be, if possible, a safe with glass doors through which the blue aud white crockery, the tin and cop per vessels may be seen without gath ering dust and smoke. There should be at least one shelf where cook books may repose anJ another where blight, hardy, heat loving flowers may bloom. A kitchen clock should provide tho experiment of acauracy for the culi nary experiments, and a big splint- bottomed rocker should be one of the prominent furnishings of the room.— Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
