When Mr. Charles Edwin Lupton took up hla residence In the city of Mrs. Ilunnlm an's home and presented a letter o f Introduction to her, her first thought was how to pre sent him to society, the second how to present him w ith a wife. She de termined to Invite the social leaders to meet him at dinner and^to give him for a table companion a lady, also a newcomer. In whose social preferment she took a deep Interest. M r. lAipton was a man o f forty, in tellectual, good looking, well to do and of aristocratic mein, „ e had been abroad for some time, and Mrs. Ilu n n l- man knew nothing of his antecedents except that he was vouched for In the highest terms In his letter o f IfrtVoduc- tlon But no one would mistake him fo r anything else than a gentleman Miss Overlander, whom Mrs. Hunnl- mau designed for M r. Lupton’s wife, was thirty-tw o years old and still - a beautiful woman. But a friend of Mrs. Hunnlman told some one, who told oth ers. that Mias Over lander was not Mitts Overlander at all. When the dinner guests were assem bled in the draw ing room, Mrs. Ilu n n l man took M r. Lupton’s arm and led him to the lady beside whom he waa to alt at table. There waa something so distinguished In both l f r . Lupton’s and Mias Overlander’s person and manner that the hum of conversation ceased, and all eyes were fixed upon the couple. Both bowed low, the man made some casual observation, the woman replied by an assenting nod, the guests resumed their chat, and not long afterw ard all paaeed Into the din ing room. There la one thing that matchmakers who are real matchmakers never do. They carefully abstain from any word or act that w ill Intim ate their Inten tions to the objects o f thetr designs. Mrs. Hunnlm an had thus abstained Io tbs present case, though It had been whispered among the, dinner guests that she had Intentions co&eVrnlng M r. Lupton and Miss Overlander, and dur ing the dinner the couple were the re cipients of curious .glances. The con versation between the tw o seemed a t first a trifle constrained, and Mrs. Hunnlm an was not especially encour aged as to the m atter she had In view. The lady seemed not especially a t tracted to her dinner companion, who showed a trifle of embarrassment con sequent upon her coldness, and when shortly a fte r the soup she entered Into conversation w ith the gentleman sit ting on her other side Mr. Lupton turned to the lady on his other side and became animated. But at a dinner party one cannot Ignore his or her dinner companion very long wlthont being considered rude, and M r. Lupton and Mias Over lander soon found themselves forced to entertain each ptber or alt In silence. The la d j by tjila time seemed to have made up her rfilnd to make the heat of a bad bargain and ventured several re marks to the gentleman, who sat very stiffly l*eslde hsr restlessly fingering the stem of his wineglass and ohly r e ’ plied. In a DssfQnctnry manner. I t be es me evident to several of tbs com pany who were In the secret of the hostess* matchmaking that M r. Lupton at least waa showing a sure sign of entanglement—pique. Then he made seme rem ark In a tone too low to be beard except by Mias Overlander, whereupon she haughtily turned her buck on him. T hia waa near the dose of the din ner. When the guests were departing. Mrs. Hunnlm an aaked M r. Lupton how he was pleased with the lady she had assigned him for the evening. Hts re ply was a snort and an angry turning away. Aa Miss Overlaoder came down from the ladles’ cloakroom she rs- eelved the same question w ith regard to M r. LnptoO. “Delighted.** waa her reply In a tone calculated to freeae the m arrow la the bones o f tils questioner When tbs last gussta were depart ing. M r. Hunulman. who had gone out to put a lady In her carriage, returned, w ith a blank look on hla face and whispered to his wife: “M y dear, w hat do y<w think r -w h s tr “ M r. Lupton and Miss Overlander have gone In the same carriage.” “F o r heaven’s sake! W hat does It mean 7" Now. ths departure of the newly In troduced couple was seen by tw o men o f the party who were- starting for their d u b Moved by curiosity, they followed la their carriage Tw o hours later they returned to the Hunnlmana mansion and called for the head of the house H s came down from hla l* d room In pajam a« “Hunnlman.'* said one o f the visit ors, “It Is our duty as your friend to warn you th a t you and your w ife are being deceived There’s something w ro n g -v e ry w rong—about Miss Over lander.“ “Oh. heave««*“ exclaimed Mrs. Hun- nlm nn fro m th e landing above. “ We saw her leave your bouse In a carriage with Lupton. W e considered It our duty to you to follow them. They drove through the park for aa hour and a half, then to a hotel, where they registered as M r. and Mrs. C.

R lc h a r d - w ill go to Heuslow Beach thia summer,” said my wife. “ We w ill roaz John Io go with uh . There are always a great uiuny tiles girls there, and who knows what may happen?" John la my w ife’s brother. He la a quiet, retiring young man and very bashful. H e does not care for girls. A t least he says be doesu't. My w ife and her* mother thought John ought to marry because he was thirty and received a salary of $2.0U0 a year. They threw hints ut him fo ra year or two, and then they came out into the open and argued with him. But John said be waa very comforta bly situated In bachelor quarters. My w ife showed less enthusiasm over the matter. I think she feared John would end. as young men who keep aloof from young ladles, and con sequently don't understand the game, commonly do, by tnarrylug some en tirely lmi»osslble person. Probably she set the Henslow Beach plot In motion merely to humor her .mother. Nobody wbo knew John and looked at the sit uation In auythlng approaching an un biased way could Imagine that be would be In any»>dangerv»t Henelow, For my own part. 1 knew that he would take a dip conscientiously every day. speud the rest of his time In a shady nook reading the six best selling nov els and return to the city without hav ing Increased by so- nmicb aa a single one the number of bis acquaintances. When 1 made that calculation I had never heard of the Cnstle girl. I saw her first on the evening we arrived. She waa sitting at the end of the hotel plaxxa. and John was seated pear her. They were engaged In conversation. I felt It m.v duty to find out wbo the girl wm . 1 didn't Intend to let my In nocent young brother-in-law fall Into the dutches of a designing- woman. I found that she wus n daughter of Tom Castle of Chicago, who bad been a millionaire, but. owing to an ambitious attempt to* corner the pork market, wfis'pne’tib longer; also I learned that, besides being remarkably pretty, she was cultured, refined and educated. At the first opportunity I asked John bow he bad become acquainted with bar. He didn’t seem to know. He hadn’t made any advances, be said, and he was sure she hadn’t They had Just happened to meet Then hs be gan talking about atflultleh and some other ro t and I saw the disease had attacked blm. “Now, see here,’’ said I. “You don’t know anything about girts.

This shows what an adaptable, com panionable girl she was. She could discuss any man's bobby Intel 11 gently, whether it happened to be amateur photography, postage stamps or golf. Now, John's hobby waa m ilitary banda. Before he moved to tbe city he was solo coruetlat In the Beaming ton brass band. H e enjoyed an envia ble reputation In that part of the state. I t relieved bis mind a great deal to In dulge In reminiscences o f that de lightful period and to disease bands In general. W ell, among other things, the girl knew all< about bands, and she would speud au hour a t a tim e dis cuaslug with him tbe career of tbe late P. 8. Gilmore and tbe relative mérita of Arbuckle nnd Jules Levy. Once, I recollect, she was Interrupted In the midst o f one o f these conversa tions by a young law yer wbo had beard that she wus omniscient and wanted to know If she could stute the rule In Shelley’s cuse. She could aud did. Bhe M id |>erhnpM be would like to know whether lienstK taken levaut and cou chant In withernam could be replevied. H e aaiil he wouldn’t trouble her for that gnd went away. Meantime John's condition grew Steudlly worse. He even felt Into the rhym ing hublt. and he would sit on the hotel pktxxM long a fte r sensible people were In bed. dreaming o f heroic deeds. Although be did not say so d i rectly. I know from chance remarks he made that he rather hoped ths Castle girt would go beyoud her depth some time while batblug so that hs could save her life. _ Tow ard the end of the John and the girl chanced to surf at the same time.

H e slab desired my opinion as to the resu lt I advised In favor of tbe plain, common reuse style. In the evening John found a a op portunity to unbosofo himself. He told her bow domestic hla tastes were, bow be longed to settle down, w h at hla salary was and bow much the president of his lieuk thought of him and ended by asking her to take a matrimonial chance with hlra. Tbe girl said It b a d never occurred to her that John thought of her In that way. Bhe said If she had ao much as auapectcy) that he waa {raveling In that direct lot) she would have set a switch open for- Dim and landed him safely on a sidetrack. Bhe was sure he wouldn’t say that she had done anything to en courage him total TOOK AM OAB AMD PV8MKD O W . you would see that she's Just flirting with you.*’ But It did no good to warn him. H e Insisted that she was the nicest girl who ever happened and that she would as soon commit murder as trifle w ith a tuan’a affections. “ Very well.” M id 1. “ I t must hs some time, aud It may aa well be now, while you are young and bave a strong couatltutloo.*' Tbe Castle girl was certainly very nice to Jobu when you take into con sideration w h it a clumsy, aw kw ard fellow be was and bow unkindly na ture had dealt with him touching hla face. 8he played croquet w ith b la all tbe next forenoon, aud In tbe after noon, when be asked her If she would like to go out rowing with him, she said she would be Just delighted to do ao. John bad never rowed s boat, but of course that didn’t matter. John braced nn tetr « T ito rl the pier and pushed off. Tbe Impetus seut the boat perhaps fifteen feet o u t Then, w ith an a ir of determination, he grasp ed the oars. H e let one o f'th em fall lightly Into the w ater and pulled very hard. Tbe raaulfi was that he lifted tbe oar Just above tbe girl’s ear and turned half a pint of water down tbe back of her neck. Bhe smiled, but her smile seemed to lack spontaneity. H e took a fling at the other oar and deposited another h alf plut In her lap. These little Irregularities made hl in nervous am) embarrassed, so that at ths next stroke lie missed the water altogether, and the our swuog around and struck hsr ou the side o f the h<od with greet force. About this time be lost his bel- ence. fell Itackwsrd aud was a boot to disappear Ir tbe briny depths when the girl opportunely gra*|*ed his fe et and restored him to equilibrium. Then she thrust her sleeves above her si bows, seized the ours and rowed ths boat to tbs pier. A fter that adventnre I felt pretty sure tt»e girl had conceited e reel Ilk lug for John. O f course I hadn't the reuiotagt idea why. I Imagined that after the boating Incident tbe girl would cease her efforts to make John happy. "* Kbe didn't, so I knew It was ho mere flirtation. - fit The more I saw of the Castle girt tbe hotter I liked her, She was vary vac- ssllle • and correspondingly popular.

Papa didn't wish It. but 1 Insisted. Still I didn’t know what to do. I had never studied shorthand, aud I bated tne thought of being a telephone operator. One day a friend of mine who knew uay perplexity said to me: ’W hy don't, you go somewhere aa a social enter tainer?

The social en tert a 1 uer circulates about among the guests, breaks up cliques, pulls the clammy and retiring people out of thetr corners and pushes them Into conver sation and keeps things generally mixed up and lively. “ ‘I t looks like a rather large order,' said I. •« * “ 'I t Is.* said she. ’but you can All I t Yon get the best of everything at the hotel and a good salary besides.

In the home smoking o f meat I hu'fi learned something by experimenting that Is a greet M v e r of work and of J.

It would sometimes heat tbe meat more than was good for I t K had the fire covered In a little pit In the center of the smokehouse. Then I tried a pit outside several feet from the building w ith an underground flue, bat a ll the heatgenerated In that went Into the smokehouse, so I t was unsat isfactory. I placed an old hratlng stove, with the lags ta k ffl off, on the ground abopt eight feet from the side of the smoke house, put en elbow on the stove and ran a pipe in through tbe side of the smokehouse. Then I started n little Bra In the stove, and as the «moke poured from the funnel It occurred to me to turn the smoke down, so I pot on an elbow w ith mouth pointing doem. and as th a t worked all right I put a length of pipe on that and watched to see What the smoke would do. In a moment It poured from the pipe right down near thw ground. The end of the pipe Is four or live Inches from the ground end nearly on a level w ith the bottom of the stove. I t werks finely. The cooled smoke rising from the ground conveys no beet to the meat, though quite a little fire la kept In the stova.
