A
N INSCRIPTION
ON A FAN
Original.
My friend Charnley keeps lu a glass
case set up ou brackets air.tlnst a wall
In Ms smoking room' at home a paper
and bamboo fan. There la nothing
about It to Indicate that it Is of espec'al
nlue. Indeed. 10 or 13 cents would be
I Rood price for It. It la spread out to
show some Chines characters daubed
across Its face. It occurred ,to me that
this 'uscriptioD might have something
to do with the care taken In the fan's
preservation, and on evening after
dinner while In the room where It was
1 asked Charnley If It were not so.
"I should think ao." he said, knocking
the asbes off his cigar. "It's alt In the
Inscription."
"Well, oat with If I knew by his
expression there was a story coming.
"You remember some years ago," he
began, "I was obliged to go to China on
business. I needed only to visit Pe
king. Nankin and a few other poluts.
In going from Nankin to Khaifeng I
net with an adventure. I was on
horseback and well armed. Hearing a
commotion on the road before me, I
spurred on and found a mandarin be
ing robbed by a couple of bandits, who
were trying to kill him before taking
sis money. His position was very
slain to me, and, dashing among them,
1 fired at both of the assailants In rapid
succession, purposely missing them,
since I didn't care to kill any one and
probably be delayed by doing so. The
robbers ran away, and the mandarin's
servants slnnk back to him. lie was
the most grateful man you ever saw.
II nee we couldn't speak the same lan
guage, be could only thank me with
his eyes, which told InVTeellngs plain
enough. lie picked up that fan, which
luring the melee had fallen In the
road, shook the dust off It and, taking a
writing stick, wrote that Inscription
across Its face, handing the fan to me.
"I supposed that be had written his
thanks.
"Glad to have your autograph,' I
said, though I knew he didn't under
stand me, and we went on together In
silence till we reached the next Til
lage, where we parted with many fare
wells which neither understood. Then
I went on alone.
"I beard a great deal about the rising
wrath In China against the 'foreign
devils,' but didn't suspect It was a
premonition of the celebrated Boxer
movement then about to break out
Reaching a mission station In a small
town, I concluded to remain with the
family of Mr. Flsk, Its manager, for
a few days. On the afternoon of my
arrival his daughter Evelyn, a girl of
twenty, ssw me using the fan. She
could read the inscription, of course,
and said to me:
" Take care of that fan. Don't .lose
it as you value your life.'
"I asked her why, but at the moment
he was called away, and I did not see
her for some time. I don't remem
ber whether wben I did see her I bad
forgotten the matter or bad no op
portunity to ask again. At any rate. It

Tiie eruption by this time had appeared
en every part of my Uxly except my
iav and hands. The Uvi dnetur in my
native county advised me to u, aiwnio
in small doses and a salve. I then used
to tathe the so-s in a mixture which

' was very soon after that we heard
i shrieks tin tho street. Kverr one pre
! ent ttiriHHl white, knowing that n tuoh
was murdering tho Christian converts.
, The noise came rapidly our way, and
Mr. Flsk. his family and servants
(gathered !n the living room In con
sternation. I got out nil my weapons,
but Mr. Flsk shook his head. Never
i tholes I thought that I might as well

daily as It would tn plonsnntor than
dying without action,
j "Nearer came the yells and shrieks
! Mil suddenly we saw through the win
jdow a gang of cutthroats coming,
doubtless, to the station. At that mo.
ment Evelyu, who had been out, rush-
ed In looking like a gliost.
"The fan! Tho fan! she cried.
Where is ttf
"What fanf
" The one you had yesterday.'
"I remembered that It was In my
room and from Evelyn's eagerness
about It knew that It must be of Impor
tance, so I ran there, smit-hed tt from
a table and ran back agitlu Into the
living room. Evelyn pushed me to ths
door, crying:
"Open tt! Hold It upr
"1 dd as she directed Just In time to
face the ugliest gang of fanatics I
iver saw or expect to see. Their lead
er, aa Immense ninn, was about to
lash In, with ap ax raised above his
heart, when he caught sight of the let
ters on the fan. He stopped, lowertug
ala ax, while those behind him seemed
to be paralysed by the Inscription.
Ihea the leader, calling for a writing
tick, wrote something over our door,
and the mob rushed ou, yells and
ihrloks following In Its wake.
They bad no sooner started away
than, the strain ou Evelyn having been
relaxed, she fainted, and I caught her
.n my arms. Ikying her on a coucb. I
went out to look at what the Chinaman
lad written on the door. The charac
ters were the same as those ou the fan.
When Evelyn revived she told me their
meaning. 'Respect this man and those
with him.
The signature was that of a manda
ln. Chang Ijuik. very influential with
the Chinese people, sinit he had been
wposed to foreigners.
"We remained safe under the protec
tion of the fan till we could get away.
Mr. Flsk brought bis family back to
imerica, and I came with them,"
"Knowing," I sai l, "that .Mrs. Charu
ey's first name Is Evelyn, I take It that
the fan covers a romance as well as

"In that you are right, but If It hadn't

LAUNDRY LINES.
Stocking and socks should be turned
wrougsldtt out before they are put Into
the tub.
Do not waste time and strength Iron
ing knit underwear. If folded down
smoothly wben taken from the line,
these garments will need no Ironing.
An ordinary telegraph wire makes a
better Una to bang clothes on to dry
than the hempen one generally used.
The wire does not sag, rot or break. It
Is easily taade clesn.
Soap should never be used when
washing silk stockings. Add four ts
blespoonfula of bran to a quart of wa
ter used for this purpose, rinse In sev
eral clear waters, pressing the water
out, and dry In the sun.
In sorting clothes to send to the laun
dry look carefully over each article,
taking care to remove every pin, which
may seriously Injure the laundress, and
seeing tbat no studs, shields or cuff
buttons are left In the blouses and
shirts.
To Make Veil Rolls.
Veil rolls for keeping the veils In
good comlitloii are made of mailing
tubes one Inch lu diameter and seven
teen inches long. Cover these with
wudillng, sprinkled plentifully with
sachet, powder between It Cut the
wadding Just wide enough to cover by
overciiHtlhg. Take live-eighths of a
yard of tfve Inch ribbon, cover the roll
with this and draw the ends of the
rililxm dose to tho ends of tint roll and
sew tlKhtly. Fringe the ends of the
ribbon. Take one and a half yards of
one Inch ribbon to trim the roll, Sew
a piece the length of the roll over the
seam, f.c tenlng It only at the ends.
Cut the remaining ribbon In half mid
tie closelv n round each cud to the tube
In n pret'v bow.
Mnndmg Cracked Oitlioi.
If Ihe.jisb U only cracked, it may be

wllh paint mid lay It over the fra lure.
Press the tape down till peri'eelly
smooth. Sor the dish aside fur t'vo or
three weeks, wl the crack will be
perfectly firm.
Ts Make a Man Selfish.
There Is uu better way to uiiike a
selfish, spoiled husband out of a per
fectly good man than by nlways helnrj
tiiiscllish and doing a thousand and
one things for him that he has always
been accustomed to do for himself. It
Is a rctiigiiircd truth tbat we all care
more for the person who is dependent
upon us than for the one we depend
upon. Anon.

MAKE THE FEET FLAT.
A Chiropodist 8aye Injury Is Often
Dons by Low Heels.
This talk about high heels breaking
the arch of the foot la all nonsense,"
said a chiropodist who made a special
ty of the "broken arch" difficulty. "It
Is tho spring hool and very low heel
that cause the trouble. Mothers should
never be guilty of putting spring heel
shoes on their children, for It means a
flat and ugly foot lu later years. Just
as soon as a child can toddle around It
should le provided with a soft, pliable
shoo which has the tiniest bit of a heel.
This tends to throw the weight of the
btxly forward on tho ba'l of tho foot,
where It Is most easily supported, ami
relieves the strain ou the arch.
"You have often noon small children
who have Just learned to walk run
over the heels of their shoes, haven't
you? It Is uot because they are un
steady on their feet, which Is the popu
lar opinion, but because their weight Is
resting on the arch or where the bone
of the lower leg meets the bono of the
foot The flat foot may begin at this
very time, so great rare should be tak
en aa to jtiSt what shoes the little tod
dlera wear. In some of the European
countries little ones wear one-quarter
Inch heels on their shoes, but Auicrlcau
mothers seem to think that spring heels
are smarter and wore healthful.
"For sdnlts the moderately high
Cuban heel Is Uie most comfortable
and sensible for ordinary wear. The
flat heels and the common sense beet
should both be tabooed. Even the
French beel la not particularly Injuri
ous If It la only worn occasionally
and when the woman will not walk
much, but cf course It Is ridiculous for
a walking boot Hut, whatever you do,
avoid the low heel." New York Press.
ARTISTIC PILLOW.
A Stylish, Uulckly Worked and Easily

flowers so grouped at eipial Internals
over the si'j face of the net.
Outline the design in duchess lace

Run the l'-ce around the centers. Ex
tending sUiut an Inch on the ouvildv
of each group of flowers daru In sn Ir
regular background of a still diirker
shade of pink. For this the stitches
should go directly across the meeh of
the net, not np and down.
Made op over a nlle green taffeta pil

advantage that it may be easily wish-ed.-Pblla("elpbIa
