ACTSOK OF THE ? .*MKa?? ?BC?

His ?tee contained a question, and yet he seemed afraid to apeak. "WeBv?r." said 1, ^bat?an**do for yotu S % - ? yer-; paardon; but you're a Yankee^ said be in a hesitating manner. " You*ro light,** I replied, 'T am ac American.*' **I knew it by the way yon walked. AH ye Yankees have an independent way wid ye, as if ye didn't care for man or b'ast, landlord or agint.

I followed the olt\ man into his small bot comfortable cottage, and was intro? duced to Mrs. O'Brien. The invitation of the old coopte was .so hearty and sin? cere that 2 decided to remain overnight ] with them, I learned during the day that O'Brien owned twenty acres of land, and that he was in fairly comforta? ble crrcmnstaaces. A quarter of lamb was boiled, and a substantial meal, in? cluding a dish of heather honey, than which no more delectable dainty ever ticid?d the palate of man, was placed before me. MLVCZD A TBS HE?BTS HOBXPIPE ON 8T?K1L These attentions were the natural out? come- of universal Irish hospitality, but I think that Mrs. O'Brien was more than usually gracions to me, because she thought that perhaps I had brought some tidings of her boy Patrick from the land beyond the sea. I tried to give them some idea of the enormous area of America by comparisons;- and tried to make plaint to them how remote was the chance of myineetnrg Patrick. But I could see by their faces that I had failed. At night, when the lamps were lit, and we three sat around the hearth in the ?oft gkrw of the turf fire, O'Brien told fairy talcs and, cM as he was, danced a hornpipe on the hearthstone to the tune of a most peculiar humming uttered "by his wife. Bot the conversation always drifted to the boy. The vicious March wind swept the wattled chimney and imparted to the embers a roseate glow as Mr. O'Brien hitched his chair closer to mme, ac! be? gan to give vocal expression to the yearn? ing' of his heart to seo his only son. "Five years ago this Patrick's Day," he laid. "Axil* yer paardon, sir, but mebbe ye wouldn't care to hear tho sthory?" Tho old maa hesitated, fand 1 hastened to reassure Mm, while it seemed as if the wind stopped howling for a while to listen to Ins recital. '**WeTl, then, five years ago last night I had as fine a Lid si ttin* at the fire with me as ye'd find in four grass counties. We had him named af ther the blessed St Patrick. But when he grew to be a man he got a little l'arnin', and he wanted to see the world. I tried to coax hi. i to stay at home with his moth? er and ne. but 'twas no use. It's lonely we were for a long time till we gota "DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT?" letther tellin' how he got a job in a dry goods store, and was doin' well. The letther had money in it, bot we had no nade of it, sir, doin' well ourselves. He never forgot us, sir, but sint money and kind wishes very often. But Tm afeered he*3 not doin* well, sir, for there's mumy a young man goes from Kerry and comes back again dissapinted. Besides I'm thinkin* be's aeedin* all bis money to be payin' for his boord and washin*, and it's only Irish pride is makin' him sind it home. Yon see, thare's n o rale nade of his bein' in America at all, whin be cn'd be atti a here by the fire all day, smokin' his pipo and not doin* a tap o' work if he liked. In his lonbt letther he said he had a new job. He was a commercial thraveler a i min' $3.900 a year. How much is that in EngS?h pounds?" "About ?00, " I replied. - ''That's a grate dale o' money,** O'Brien raid slowly; "a grate dale of money. America mu?'L be a fine counthry in toirely.** fie lapsed into a reverie and sat-looking at the fire for a long time. There were tears in his eves as he re? sumed: "Ye see, sir, Tm gettin' to be an ould man. and there's ne'er a male member ?te. I levant me son to come over here and in? herit the land that has his father's sweat in-it Whin ye're goin' back, sir, nt W woaldn*t mind" .*teo on, O'Brien; rn do it if I live," I replied, pulling myself together to over? come the weakness stealing over me, "Well, sir,'' he continued, "whin ye're gom' back would ye plaza go to see my lad, and t&MatbtelMa&B'vrit? Tell him Kl not laset much longer, and ask him would he come over and inherit the estate?" Three months lata I landed in New York. I knew how hopeless a task it ' would be - to look for Patrick O'Brien. StOl I made many inquiries, and adver? tised in the papers, bot without result. I had almost forgotten the incident when six montas later. J happened to at? tend a meeting bf the Kerry Men's so? ciety, in the city of New^Sork, and was called to relate some of my experiences in the Emerald Isle. Among other inci? dents the story of Mr. O'Brien and his boy Patsey occurred to me, and I re? lated & \ At the conclusion of the meeting I was on my way toward the door when a young man about twenty-five years old, wearing a beaver overcoat and a silk hat, . touched me .on the shoulder. "May I speak a few- words to you privately?" said he, *K)ertainly, sir,'' said I, moving out of the crowd. He drew from a pocket near his heart a photograph. Handing it to me he said, "Do you recognize that, sir?** I looked at the picture carefully, and said I had seen the face before, but *4That*8?the man whom you have been terring about this evening, and Tm Pat? sey,"* interrupted the stranger, taking Tjae picture from my hand. He fumbled I the picture nervously in his gloved I hand as he struggled with the wave of emotion that swept over him; but as he j mit the ground of composure under him again he resumed: "I received a letter shortly af ter you. left Ireland from my father, and hast? ened across the sea just in time to in? herit his little estate and to bury him in the Abbey Dorney. He hada emile ou his tace when we laid him away in the valley between the hills, sir, and the shamrock that St. P,itrick blessed is scat? tered through the ejeenest grass in Ire- { land above his hean." Beware of Too Mach Perfa me. Let nur woman beware of using per? fumes of pronounced and aggressive odors, las* 3be offend and alienate the regard of her fronds. &>n?^in? chiefcauses of the separation of "the king Of"Holland from his first wife was the penchant of Queen Sepbia for Che scent of musk, which odor was intensely disagreeable to her royal consort. So generously did she indulge her passion for this perfume that not only were her own apartments permeated with - it, her clothes, hair and belongings offen? sive with it, bnt any room through which she passed would smell for days after of her favorite perfume, The secret of the fascinating fragrance which seems to sur? round and emanate from dainty women Hes ever in the constant use of most deli? cate and faint perfumes whose odor is in? tangible and suggestive, rather than in the liberal use of permeating and intense odors,, which are sure to offend! some sen? sitive olfactory organism.-New York Let? ter., . ?ie* Bleached Dried Fruit. There was a sort of craze some years ago for bleached dried apples and other dried fruit. The uniform whiteness cf the bleached fruit pleased the eye, and people did not stop to question how it was pro? duced nor what was its effect on the qual? ity of the fruit. In fact the flavor was very much impaired, and it was soon found that the bleaching process left a dangerous poison in the fruit. German authorities forbade the importation of American bleached dried fruit unless it were .tested by a demist and, iou nd harmless. It is not only safer to avoid all bleached dried fruit, but it is better on all accounts, as the natural fruit r?talos ils full flavor. Good Housekeeping. To make choice cocoanut caramels that will melt in your mouth and rival the products of thc highest priced confectionery take three pounds of white sugar, one pint of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, one grated cocoanut, two teaspoonfuls of ex? tract of lemon. Boil slowly until stiff, then pour in buttered pans antkniarkia squares. . _ . It must not be forgotten that children breathe considerably more than adults, and on that account especial care should be taken to gire them plenty of fresh air. It is ari excellent plan to teach children to practice forced inspiration. This exercise performed daily is an easy and practical way of developing the 1 ogs and tho chest. Mrs. Ingalls says that ber husband bas always been a hero to her. She is quite un? like the senator in personal appearance, being short in stature and rather stout. She is a handsome and somewhat stately woman, and looks hardly more than forty years old. Seven cf the eleven children she has borne are living. Discussions regarding servants' short? comings and children's pert, if not perti? nent, sayings, are things to be avoided: but these subjects seem to be almost in? evitably canvassed when two or three women arc gathered together at Informal luncheons where there are no men.
