THE BLACK RIBBON.
The gentlemen of Cove house eat upon
the piazza, smoking and looking at the
sea as it tumbled in, when the evening
coach, laden with piled up baggage and
passengers, came rattling down the torn
pike and made the- sweep which led np
to the hotel.- This in itself was matter
onongh for attention, but when, in the
-wake of the yellow old coach, just be
yond its clonds of dust, a glittering little
pony carriage rolled swiftly on, a dozen
pair of lazy eyes grew interested and ex
pectant, v
The coach drew, up with a scientific
flourish, and the sweating horses stood
panting with the tug through the heavy
and, while the driver leaped down, and
with much tumbling and crashing of
trunks the old stage was unladened.
Meanwhile the pony carriage, holding
two ' girls, rolled smoothly up to a side
door, and three waiters were instantly
in attendance upon them.
" The ladies alighted, and the two dis
appeared at the private door of the Cdve
bouse.
"Who are they?" asked Paul Hanover,
withdrawing his cigar from his mouth
and turning his handsome blue eyes on
the friend at his elbow.
Fane King, who was looking thought
fully out at sea, replied quietly thtt he
did not know.
It's Miss Payson, of New York," said
"Will McKenzie, who knew everybody.
"At any rate, that's her turnout.
"Which one?"
'The blonde, I suppose. I never met
t Iter, but she was at Newport with my
1 aister last season. Nice, ain't Bhe?"
"Who is the other oner
"I don't know. Poor cousin, I pre
mme." Hanover and King relapse to their
cigars; but everybody was thinking
more or less of Miss Payson. ,
The ladies appeared at supper. There
were only five of their party the old
gentleman, the two young ladies and an
invalid child of 13 with her nurse... It
"-was soon remarked that they appeared
sufficient for themselves, and: neither
sought nor received acquaintances. The
face of the blonde girl was as jolie with
out the jockey hat as with it, but the
' profile of her companion only was to be
seen. A broad black' ribbon bound
around the chin and nearly concealing
a wealth of rich brown hair revealed
only the side view of a set of regular
features and one smooth, fresh cheek.
"What can be the matter!"' questioned
the ladies one of the other.
So, without the least possible informa
tion on the subject, Alice Payson was
decided to be an object of misfortune
and compassion, while unconcealed ad
miration and adulation were offered the
other one.
. ., I cannot say that either appeared much
affected by the regard of those around
them. Certainly they spoke to no one
lor at least three weeks. People became
discouraged about making their ac
quaintance, and few more attempts were
tried. .
But things inevitably changed. One
evening when all Cove house was in the
sorf a scream arose. - The scream was
followed by a frantic cry:
'Alice! Oh, Alice! She is drowning!
Save her! save hert save her!"'. .
"Who can swim':" waa the cry.
Long before it was answered Fane
King was seen striking out boldly for
the spot.
' But he had some forty rods to swim,
and it was probable that Alice Payson
had sunk for the second time while the
strong tide swelled against the rocks.
"Swim, man, swim!" shouted the old
ancle upon the beach.
"Save her, oh, for God's saker cried
Maud, wringing her hands.
But within a few- strokes of Fane
King's outstretched arms Alice disap
peared. There was already death upon her
closed eyes and pallid forehead. He
thought it was a corpse he clasped as he
dropped beneath the surface and caught
her sinking figure,. ' r
It was with difficulty he arose to- the
surface. - Thrice the great billows rolled
over his head before he appeared. He
could only hold himself and his burden
off the cruel rocks. Already his arm
was lacerated with their sharp teeth.
They had put out a boat, and it at
last came to his relief. As they lifted
the senseless girl into- the wherry they
saw that the black ribbon had been torn
from her face, and a large, dull red,- dis
colored mark appeared. It showed more
plainly in the otherwise ' deadly pallor of
her sweet face,, for sweet it was, and
pure as a child's. They covered face and
figure reverently, thinking heri quite
dead, and'rowed back while Fane found
his way up the rocks jto have his hand
wrung speechlesaly by the agonized old
I dont think she is dead, .- Mr. Pay
son,'' said Fane, remembering with a
thrill the silken hair which' had washed
against his lips. "She cannot be deadf
jShe wasK note dead. In, three days, she
appeared- among them again,1 fairer,
gentler, sweeter than ever, and frankly
sateful for the interest everybody bt
trayed in her. And then "it came but
that there had been a mistake.- It was
Ahce who was the heiress and Mand the
'poor cousin, though as beautiful, as ra
diant and perfect as a Hebe, ...J v
Miss Alice Payson, with the black rib
Con replaced, tried to thank. Fane King
on the first day of her reappearance, but
Iter brown eyes filled and she only said: .
"You are young; life is sweet to yon;
It was noble in yon to risk yours for me,
Mr King.? k. ;t ,'. Z v-'i ; - ; i:
Fane's heart welled to that be hardly
knew what was the matter with him.
But, somehow, the friendly clasp of
Alice Paysou's light hand and the gae
of her sweet eyes affected him as no
hand or eyes had ever affected him be
fore. ... . ,
The ice once broken, a bevy of gentle
men strove for the attention of the conn
ins. Paul Hanover was foremost.
He was very handsome, fair, brilliant,
graceful, He. was not poor either.-Fane
remembered that bitterly as he saw hi in
strolling with Alice on the beach or "driv
ing for her the little pony carriage. His
own peace and comfort seemed suddenly
gone. Miss Payson's gentle friendliness
only made him worse.
- He was startled one day as if shot by
Hanover remarking: . ' .
- "If you're not altogether gone with the
blues, Fane, I'd like you to congratulate
a fellow." '
Have you won your bet on the trot
ting match?" ' ,.;.. -
"Pshaw! hang trotting matches! Don't
be stupid, Fane. Haven't I been riding
with Miss Payson? f--yJX "
"Weil? ; ,. ,..
"Well it is," pirouetting around the
room and snapping his fingers like cas
tanets. ' Tm the fond betrothed of a
lovely girl, after the latest novel. Now,
what have yon to say, my respectable,
moping friend?"
Fane tried hard to command himself
and not betray his secret.
"Alice Payson is too good for you,
Paul," he answered, with an attempt at
being sage and composed, in which he
succeeded but tolerably.
"I dare say, but it isn't her, Fane."'
" Taint her?" looking electrified. i '
' . "Certainly not. The money's very
well, but that defect of hers i's a deli
cate subject, but I really couldn't marry
a girl with a disfigurement like that." -
"You mean that you are engaged to
Maud?" asked Fane, hardly believing his
ears.
"Exactly."
"Why, I congratulate you, with all
my heart!" jumping np excitedly, i V
"They are going away to-morrow.
Don't you want to see them again?"
Fane went down upon the piazza,
where the ladies sat, unreasonably
happy. ". -
The ladies were standing npon.. the
piazza, in the early sunlight, when he
approached Alice Payson to say good-by.
Paul was talking to Maud, saucy and
beautiful in her jockey, Hat as Fane
found his way to Alice's side.
. "Good-by, Mr. King. You will come
and see us, with your friend?" she said.
There was no one very near. He an
swered: .
"No; I love you, and so I must say
good-by forever, Alice." .
He saw the delicate features pale. At
that instant old Mr. Payson came hurry
ing out, followed by a porter with a large
valise in each hand. . - .J -
"Ready, girls?" he called. "Come,
hurry, or well, miss the train."
Alice, with downcast face, gathered
up her gray trailing skirt. He thought
she was going without a word, but sud
denly she looked np into his eyes.
"No. Come." she said. And then in
a moment she was gone, the dainty car
nage glittering down the beach.
A week later he waited for her in the
costly splendor of her drawing room.
She came down, giving him her soft
hands, nor resisting his embrace.
"I love you so!" he murmured.
"Do you, really with this disfigured
facer
"I never think f it, Alice."
She laughed then and slipped off the
black ribbon, and there was one smooth
cheek as fair and perfect as the other.
"I had blistered my face for the tooth
ache. It was nothing ' lasting, you see."
When Fane told Hanover his happi
ness, or as much of it as can be expressed
in words, he looked as if there was some
thing unsaid upon his mind, but when
he beheld Ahce under her bridal veil he
seemed suddenly enlightened,
r ;"If I hadn't been afraid of a black rib
bon," he murmured. "I might have been
fif ty. thousand dollars. richer."

Horses That Like Hamn Flesh.
There appeared in the papers some
time ago a story of a horse which, stand
ing in a Toronto street, mistook for new
mown hay the blonde hair of a young
lady on the sidewalk, seized it in its wa
tering mouth and was : rewarded by a
blow between the eyes which could have
been possible only in the days of roomy
garments. One of the beauties of that
story was that it was rigidly true, al
though the name of the horse's owner
was withheld. But since then either the
same animal or a full brother by the
same sire and out , of the same dam has
been making a name for himself as a
rancher off melton coat sleeves, sealskin
caps, bearskin boas and tweed capotes.
He is a pretty little roan beast, owned
by Larry Cosgrave, and a very snapping
turtle in harness. He stood hitched to a
little cutter in front pf the Bank of Com
merce and had five minutes of solid en
joyment, during which time he nearly
palled ,the arm out of an advertising
agent. The arm looks as if it had been
vaccinated.". But Larry Cosgrave's horse
is not .the only one . in the ..city that has
fallen into evil ways. It ia a common
thing to see these ferocious animals
sprawled half way r across the sidewalk,
sacking whom they may devour.- To

EGOS BY MACHINERY:
A PLAN TO MAKE-THEM BETTER AND
CHEAPER THAN HENS CAN. .
What the Manufactured Article Contains.
. How the Ingredients Are Secured The
. Making of the Shell Is Really m SeU
ente Pleee of Work.
Patents have been granted to James
Storrey, of Kansas City, for the manu
facture of eggs.
All the necessary machinery, winch
is not worth more than $500 at the out
set, is in readiness to begin this over
whelming competition with the 'Ameri
can men. If as much success attends
the new venture as i3 anticipated by Mr.
Storrey, the contest between the- ma
chine and the hen for supremacy in the
egg producing business will be .short,
with the victory to . the' credit of the
fanner.- v: .
Mr. Storrey's process is very simple,
and yet he is prepared to manufacture
an artificial egg that a - connoisseur will
find it difficult to distinguish either in
appearance or taste from the prime pro
duct of a Plymouth Bock or Leghorn.
Lime, water, blood, milk, tallow, peas
and one or two other vegetables are the
ingredients of his compound. The shell
and the yolk will not be difficult of
manufacture. To make a good imita
tion of the "white" of the egg is the part
that has required the most ingenuity to
conquer; but Mr. Storrey has succeeded
in solving the problem successfully.
MAlUNCJ THE YOLK.
. The yolk of an egg is composed of 30
per cent, of yellow fat, 14 per cent, of
caseine, about 3 per cent, albumen and
water. The fat is common animal fat,
and beef fat, which is very cheap, will
be the chief ingredient. To this a liberal
amount of caseine, which is that portion
of the milk which produces butter and
cheese, will . be added, and albumen
mainly from beef blood, together with
water, will be mixed in small quantities.
The color, already a yellow, will be
treated with a chemical which will serve
a double purpose of deepening the color
and preserving the mixture in a semi'
liquid state until it is cooked.
The "white" of the egg is about one
eighth pure albumen, and is a difficult
substance to produce chemically. A sub
stance that appears to the eye exactly
similar, and which hardens and whitens
when cooked, has been produced by a
mixture of legumin, or vegetable ' albu
men, extracted from common peas, and
which forms one-fourth of the peas, a
little albumen from beef blood, a trifle
of sulphur, considerable gelatine and a
chemical solution to prevent rapid de
composition, and which also whitens the
whole bulk when subjected to heat, just
as the egg becomes white when boiled.
As beef blood will be utilized in very
large quantities In the big egg mill, a
few . special cars will be fitted np witi
tanks to bring the blood from the Chi
cago slaughter houses. ' -!
MAKING THK SHELL
The shell will be perfectly imitated by
a simple solution of lime, water and glue.
The machinery that is required is needed
mainly in putting the egg - together.
Every yolk will be first run into a mold
to be properly shaped, and then dumped
into a. second mold, where the right
quantity of the white is placed previously.
This latter substance, being a gelatine
like 1 matter, will incase ; the yolk very
readily. By a unique machine the meat
is there enveloped in the shelL
. The shell is only partially hardened
when the egg is put into it, and as there
is a liberal amount of glue added to the
lime, the edges of the shell soon adhere
to each other very tightlyj leaving no
traceable mark where they were joined.
In order ' to make the imitation more
completely successful, molds of several
sizes will . be introduced, making the
eggs vary; in bulk as do $he products' of
any respectable flock of hens. The color
Of the shell will also be of two or three
shades, rendering the likeness to the
original still more striking.'
Tests have been made - which - show
that the artificial egg can be preserved
for a month under proper conditions,
and still taste as fresh as one laid by an
ordinary hen. As all the ingredients of
this reform egg are exceedingly cheap,
it can be manufactured at the rate of
about three cents a dozen. , There iWill
be no limit to the capacity of the novel
mill, and families and boarding house
keepers can be supplied in any .quanti
ties at prices so dazzlingly small as to
warrant immediate popularity. Cincin
