LISPETJI.
Phownsthe daughter of Sinoo, a Hill
mun, nml Jadeh, his wife. Ono year their
Iiialzo failed, and two bears spent the nl'lit
In their only poppy field just nliovo tho
Hutlej valley on the Kotgarh side, bo next
poafoii they turneil Christian nnd brought
tliulr baby to the. mission tu bo baptized.
Tho Kotgarh ohaplalndirlstuned her Kllz
abetb, and "LUpeth" U tho 11111, or
paliarl, lironiinclatloii.
Ijtcr cholera ranio into tho Kotarh
valley and rarrk'd off Snnoo and Jadeh,
anil Lbiwth hecanio half servant, half
companion to thewlfeof thethrn chaplain
of Koigarh. This was after tho reign of
t ho Moravian missionaries, hut before
Kotgarli had qullo forgotten her titlo of
"Mistress of tho Northern Hills."
Whether Christianity Improved Llspeth
or whether tho gods of her owu people
would have (lone as nnicli for her under
any circumstances I do not know, hut the
grew very lovely. When a Hill girl grows
lovely, she Is worth traveling 50 miles over
bad ground to look upon. Llspeth had a
Greek face ono of t hose faces people paint
so often am' sco so seldom. Hio was of a
pale. Ivory color, and, for her race, ex
tremely lull; also alio possessed eyes that
wero wonderful, and had kIio not been
dressed in tho abominable print cloths
alTocted by missions you would, meeting
her on tho hillside unexpectedly, have
thought her tho original Diana of the
HmiiaiH going out to slay. Llspeth
took to Christianity readily and did not
abandon It when sho reached womanhood,
as do some Hill girls. Her own people
hated her became (.ho had, they said, lie
come a memsnlilh and washed herself
dally, and the chaplain's wife did not
know what to do with her. Somehow one
cannot ask a stately goddess, 6 foot 10 In
her shoes, to clean plates and dishes. Ho
she played with the chaplain's children
and took classes In tho Sunday school and
read all tho books lu the house and grew
more and more beautiful, like the prin
cesses In fairy tales. Tho chaplain's wife
Fald that the girl ought to take service In
Simla as a nurso or something "genteel."
But Llspeth did not want to take service.
Sho was very happy where sho was.
When travelers there were not many
In thoso years came In to Kotgarh, Lls
poth used to lock herself Into her own
room for fear they might tako her away to
Simla or somewhere out Into tho unknown
world.
One day, a few mouths after she was 17
years old, Llspeth went out for a walk.
Sho did not walk lu the manner of English
Indies 1W mlle9 out, and a ride book
ogidn. Sho covered between 0 and 80
miles In her llttlo constitutionals, all
about and ohout, between, Kotgarh and
Narkunda. This tlmo sho came back at
full dusk, stepping down tho breakneck
descent Into Kotgarh with something
heavy In her arms. The chaplain s wife
was dozing lu the drawing room when
Llspeth came In, breathing hard and very
oxhaustod with her burden. Llspeth put
It down on the sofa nnd said simply:
"This Is my husband. I found him on
tho Uagl road. Ho has hurt himself. Wo
will nurse him, and when ho Is well your
husband shall marry him to mo."
This was the Urst mention Llspeth had
ever made of her matrimonial views, and
tho chaplain's wife shrieked with horror.
Howovor, the man on tho sofa needed at
tention first. Ho was a young Englishman,
and his head had hcen cut to the bone by
something Jagged. Llspeth said sho had
found him down the khud, so sho had
brought hliu In. He was breathing qucer
ly and was unconscious.
Ho was put to bed and tended by tho
chaplain, who knew something of medi
cine, and Llspeth waited outside the door
lu caso she could ho useful. She explained
to the chaplain that this was tho man sho
meant to marry, and tho chaplain and his
wlfo lectured her severely on the Impro
priety of her conduct. Llspeth listened
ouletly nnd repeated her first proposition.
It takes a great deal of Christianity to
wipe out uncivilized eastern instincts,
such as falling In love at first sight. Lls
peth, haviug found the man she worship!,
did not see why she should keep silent as
to her chulco. She had no intention of
being sent away either. She was going to
nurse that Englishman until he was well
enough to marry her. This was her little
rafortnlght of slight fever an,l ! In
flammation the Kngllshma.i recovered co
herence and thanked the chaplain at d Us
wife and Llspeth. especially Lisp.. h f.r
their kindness. Ho was a traveler In tho

urthlng about him. He fancied he must

! Then she dried her tears and went In to
Kotgarh again and said to the chaplain's
wife: "Ho will come hack and marry me.
I He has gone to his own people to ti '.l them
, so." And the chaplain's wife soothed
Llspeth and said, "He will come Iwk."
At the end of two mouths Llpctli grew
Impatient and was told that the English
man hud gone over the seas to England.
She knew where Eugland was, because she
hud read little geography primers, but of
course sho had no concept Ion of the nature
of tho sea, being a Hill girl. There was
an old puzzle map of the world in tho
house. LtsH'th had played with It when
she, was a child. She unearthed It upitti
and put It together of evenings and cried
tu herself and tried to Imagine where her
Englishman was. As she had no Ideas of
distance or steamboats her notions were
somewhat erroneous. It would not have
made the least difference bad she Im-. ii
perfectly eorn-et, for the Englishman had
no intention of coming back to marry n
Hill girl. He forgot all about her by tho
time he was butterfly hunting lu Assam.
He wrote a hook on the east afterward.
Llspeth's name did not appear.
At the end of three months Llspeth
made daily pilgrimage to Narkunda to set
If her Englishman was coming along tbe
road. It gave her comfort, and the chap
lain's Wife, finding her happier, thought
that she was (Jetting over her " Iwirbaroiis
and most Indelicate folly." A little later
the walks ceased to help Llspeth, and her
temper grew very bad. Tho chaplain's
wife thought this a prolltable time to let
her know the real slate of ufTalrs; that the
Englishman had only promised his love
to keep her (pilet; that he had never meant
anything, and that It was "wrong and Im
proper" of Llspeth to think of marriage
with tin Englishman, who was of a su
perior clay, Issldes being promised in
marriage tea girl of his own ieoplo. Lls
peth said that all Ibis waselearly Impossi
ble because he had said be loved her, and
the chaplain's wife had, with her owu lips,
asserted that the Englishman was coining
buck.
"How can what he and you said be tin
truey" aked Lispoth.
"Wo said It as an excuse to keep you
quiet, child," said the chaplain's wife.
"Then you have lied to me," si Id Lls
peth. "You and her"
The chaplain's wife bowed her head and
said nothing. Llspeth was silent, loo, for
a little lime. Then she went out down
the valley and returned in the dress of ft
Hill girl Infamously dirty, but without
tho nose end earrings. She had her hair
braided Into the long pigtail, helped out
with black thread, that Hill women wear.
"I am going back to my own people,"
said she. "You have killed Llspeth.
Them Is only left old Jadeh's daughter
tho daughter of a puhurl and tbe servant
of Tarkn Devi. You ore nil liars, you
English!"
Hy the time that thechaplaln's wife had
recovered from the shock of the announce
ment that Llsjieth had reverted to her
mother's gods the girl had gone, and sho
uover camo back.
She took to her own unclean people sav
agely, as If to make up the arrears of the
life she bad stepped out of, and In a little
tlmo sho married a wood cutter, who beat
her, after the manner of paharls, and her
beauty faded soon.
"'There Is no law whereby you can ac
count for tho vagaries of the beiftheii,"
said the chapluln's wife, "and I licllevo
that Llspeth was always at heart an Inll
dol." Seeing sho had been taken Into the
Church of England at the malum age of B
weeks, this statement does not do credit
to the chaplain's wife.
Llspeth was a very old woman when she
tiled. Sho always hail a pcrfift command
tit English, ond w hen she was siilliclently
drunk could sometime be Induced to tell
tho ory of her first lou affair.
It was hard, then, to realize that the

of charrid rag, could ever have been "Lls

Social Customs of the Mealeana.
Most Americans like Mexican dining
customs and adopt them. They like them
I because of their boln-mlanism. iiero uiev
' cat, drink and live pretty much as they
please. I'pou all formal social occasions
refreshments are served, while the smok
ing and drinking apartment is a can fulltr
: prepared adjunct, to which the gentlemen
resort at will to vary the pastime of tho
evening and to chat upon current events.
Parties by Americans or other foreigners
ore arranged and conducted very much In
ac-enrdaneo with Mexican customs. After
the dancing or other festivities have lasted
three or four hours the assembly, or a por
tion thereof, Is ushered Into the dining
rKm. If seats ore limited, the ladles sit
ond the gentlemen stand or occupy them
selves serving the fair ono. To be strlcil
formal this arrangement continues until
the ladles have all dined, when It Is the
turn of the gentlemen to partake. This
plan Is seldom adhered to, however, among
the Americans, both sexes going to the re
freshment room and dining together.

that would do cmdlt M the ingenuity of

i After all, now one comes to think of It,
' Mli-hid AdrianziNin de Kuyter, tho great
i f-t of the Dutch mival heroes, very nearly
! r- semldes some of our bent men lieorgo
I Washington, Andrew Jackson and Com
I inodom Perry, for Instance. Like them, he
' came of poor jMircnts and made his way
hy sheer grit; but, unlike them, Do Kuyter,
In his youth, was famous for thoextraor
Unary scrape he was continually falling
nt. i.
Not that he was really a ld hoy, only
tery lazy, so mischievous he was turned
! fut of every workshop w here his father, a
i pisir brewer, opprcntlccd him and so unlay
nnd fun loving he was continually In dis
grace, Just for a lark lie dlmltcd the church
I steeple In hi native town of Flushing,
pn-tendiHl to dance a hornpipe around tho
weathercock and came dowu by knocking
I holes In the slate shingles to form a sort
of ladder.
Hut his father and tho dignified grown
folks looked Uhiii the steeple prank with
very much less admiration. You may be
sun- a sound birching whs udiulnlstcrcd
by way of reward, and then poor Mr, do
Kuyter had to consent to 11 year-old
Mlchiel's Ivlng bundled off a a cabin
Isiy on n merchant vessel bound fur the
African coast.
This all happened in tho year 1(177, anil
no doubt a good many otherwise kind
hearted folk lu Flushing rather hod
that hungry savage and fierce, storm
might Indefinitely postpone tllchlel's re
turn to bis native land, so peaceful did tho
docks and street soon after his dciartura.
They were doomed to dlsopsitntment,
however, for Mlehlcl Adriuuzoon did
come back, mi longer a cabin boy, hut a
live young sailor, entirely satisfied with
his new life on tho broad, dangerous high
seas.
At 17 tho cabin boy hecanio a Junior
ofliccr, and at 1 them was no mom trust
ed, skillful young captain lu tho Dutch
merchant marine.
Oddly enough, Captain de Huytcrdldu't
caro very much for fighting, though lu
that day all the Kurn(ieou nation wero In
fested with pirates, pomou English mer
chantmen, Spanish frigates, ready to
pounce on Dutch vessels, and French men-
of-war. looking out for fat prize. De
Kuvter was busy making money, perfect
lug himself In mathematics, drawing
maps, and he always preferred slipping
neatlv through hi enoiulcti' clutches to
provoking a utiarrol.
Onco a big Spanish mun-of war did
overhaul hi peaceful trading ship, and
after putting up the best fight pusslhlo De
Kuyter was obliged to yield ana wo pop
ped Into a black Spanish prison, lie es
caH'd, however, aud us n barefoot beggar,
walked all tho way home to Flushing.
Never ngaln did ho full Into so sad a
plight, nnd when ou hi way home from
Ireland with n cargo of butter ho suved
his ship aud won a prize by the following
device:
When half way home, a plrotu gavo
chase, and not able to escaiw by aid of the
wind, our bravo young captain wo ot a
loss how to avoid capture. Ho neither
had tho men nor guns with which to oiler
effective resistance, but u happy thought
camo.
Ordering up n barrel of butter, ho dl
rcctcd his salloi to tako off shoes and
stockings, grease down dis ks, comMinlon-
way, roiies, etc., open wide nil portholes,
and then, tlielr arms concealed aliout
them, wait for the worst.
When nearly every Inch of tho ship had
been llberully buttered, ho obediently
hove to lu resHinso to a cannon shot
across hi bows nnd meekly protended his
readiness to deliver up lives and cargo as
gracefully as possible.
Ho enchanted were tho pirates with
their eusy victory and so greedily eager
to selzo tho victims and stores that, mim
ing alongside DoKuytcr'sshlp, they crowd
ed noisily ou to his dis k.
Hut consternation overtook them. Tho
first man w hoso fisit touched the DliU'h
ship, slid, liko one on n tolsigguli, head
foremost down tho coinpunloiiwoy. There,
us he lay stunned, tho cuhlu Isiy bound
und sut ou him.
Two more Hew over tho deck ond shot
out through tho portholes Into the sua,
while tho remainder glided nisiut, Help
lessly butting Into the bulwarks ot every
houvo of tho waves or ilropssl to tholr
hacks, unable to get n foothold ond rise
again.
Thoso who did remain eroct, shook with
horror, thinking the ship liewltched, and
lu n trlco tho pirate wero hound, their
vessel taken In tow, and, chuckling with
delight, Do Ituyteraallcd homo to reports
complete victory.
Onco again tho young captain over
whelmed a pirate lu tho English channol
nt less outlay even than a tub of butter.
This tlmo, when u big new ship was un
der his oonmiund, he camo up with a pl
rato towing a handsome trading vessel
Just captured.
Though not anxious to fight, De Ituyter
could not resist tho temptation to imika
another flno haul. With the samo audaolty
that had led him to datico a hornplpoon
the steeple ho clop'd on all sail, mustered
his men and hoisted the colors ot a Dutch
admiral.
Thinking that nothing less than a great
man-of-war wo hearing down upon them
tho pirates made hot husta for the French
coast, forsaking tlielr prlzo to a vessel their
guns could buve blown Into the air.
Not many yeur after this De Kuyter be
came nn admiral In tho Dutch navy, and
fearful even to read about were the battles
he fought against French, Hwotlea, Span
ish and the iirlllsh. In one engagement
six vessels in turn wero sunk underbill!,
und once he lilhsl all England with fear
by sailing straight up tho Thames river,
seizing ships and even threatening Lon
don. Atla-t, In a great buttle against the
French, ho received threo terrible wounds
and died, crying out cheerfully through
