LOVE DARES ALL Tat-tat-tat sounded in a dreary“ monotone from the drums, and slowly, in single file, the miserable prisoners came into view. Ragged, dirty, um- kempt, footsore, panting from the blazing August sky, they were truly a pitiable sight. Yet they held up their heads defiantly and smiled derisively at the insulting epithets and grimaces which the lower classes heaped upon them, especially in the vicinity of any officer’s residence. The better class- es of the Havanese showed their sym- pathy in striking contest to the jeers and jibes of the baser sort. and Jlbes of the baser sort. The year was 1851, directly after the capture of Crittenden, Lopez's brave lieutenant, in his ill-starred expedition to Cuba. He and his Spartan remn- ant were these forlorn prisoners. \Vhen they reached the Calle de la Lamparilia, one of the narrow streets of the city, the guards suddenly halt- ed the column and reverently bared their heads. A funeral procession was approaching from the opposite di- rection, and the line was pushed close toward the houses jutting on the nar- row footway, scarcely worthy the name of pavement. A youth among the foremost pris- oners, who, evidently, had not the for- titude of his elder companions, judged by his bowed head and deep dejection, now looked up with a wan smile of recognition as a pair of dark eyes brimming with tears gazed through a lattioed Window at the pitiful sight. “Amalia!” he whispered. “Robercito! Is it indeed you? Oh, how terrible! I did not dream you were with them." "Dearest cousin, save me I” he re- phed in Spanish as fluent as her own. “‘Ve are all condemned to be shot in two days, perhaps sooner. I am too young to die." “\Vould that I could, but, alas! I am powerlm as a lamb among wolves!" “Amalia, don’t say that! You have friends among the Spaniards. For the love of my motherâ€"" “Forward, march!" rang on the au‘, and the weary column passed on to the dungeons of Morro Castle. That night the Senorita Amalia de Valdez was a dream of loveliness as she reclined listlessly among the cush- ions on a lounge in hem handsome sa- lon. She was considered to be the beauty of beauties in the capital fam- ed for the grace and loveliness of its women. Young Captain Antonio de Ramon, who presently entered, was so enrapâ€" tured with her appearance that only the presence of the inevitable duenna restrained him from throwing himself at her feet in reality, as well as in the formal salutation with. which Spanish gentlemen greet all ladies. V But she looked preoccupied, sad, de-E spondent, and replied absently to his greeting. He seated himself near her, while the duenna, her gentle aunt Maria, retired to a distant corner. “Tell me, my soul," said he, “why are you so melancholy?" A sigh was the only answer. “Ah, yes! I know your tender heart aches for the poor prisoners you have seen toâ€"day. Poor fellows! Theirs is a terrible fate. But tell me, what is it you Wish to ask me? Can there be a wish of yours I would not gratify at the risk of my life, if need be? I have your precious note safe here," and he pointed to his heart. “You have but to command and I will obey." “Aunt mia," said Amalia, turning to her aunt, “I have mislaid my pearl bracelet upstairs. Will you kindly look for it ?" The duenna vanished as if she had expected the request. Amalia turned to him at once and said: “You have often sworn that you love me to distraction; is it not so An- tonio T \fifit happiness it was for him to hear from her lips the diminutive “ito” added to his dune, which, in itself, is a caress in words. “My life, with all my heart and soul!" he exclaimed.

By dint of extensive bribery, and the 00-0peration of a surgeon, a secret friend of the Cuban cause, I have arranged that three blank car- tridges shall be fired at you. You must be careful to simulate death as much as possible until the word ‘Am- alia’iswhispered in your ear. Then you may breathe freely and open your eyes, for you will be temporarily safe. “Further details will then have been arranged and will be communicated to you. The least indisoretion on your part, the least bungling on that of those I have employed, though only two are in the secret, will ruin me as well as seal your fate." Boberto thahked him fervently, and promised him implicit obedience. “You must not return to your com- rades." "Poor felloWs!” muttered Roberto. “The light of hOpe is shining in your eyes, and might betray us. Look as downcast as when you entered. if pos- sible. Come in, sergeant,” he said, and, as he entered the door, added, “conduct this prisoner to a solitary cell. He must have no communica- tion with the other filibusters." . They passed out, and Antonio, groan- mg deeply, murmured: “Oh, my love, what a sacrifice l" The courtyard of the castle was thronged with soldiers as the unfortu- nate band was marched to their death place just as day was breaking over the beautiful bay. Surrounded by hostile soldiers, they still maintained a. defiant air, even when the glitter- ing line of bayonets faced them, and they knew all hope was over. “Kneel, filibustersl’ The command was not obeyed, the men proudly refused._ A struggle ensued, in which some were forced to their knees; perhaps all might have been had not the officer in charge, with a touch of humanity, be- gun giving the ”orderet At the word “Fire!" so deadly was the volley that few survived it, and they but a few moments. Roberto, happily, had no need to simulate death. The shock and strain of the suspense had caused him to faint, and. the sur- geon, who hastened to his side, gave a deep sigh of relief as be perceived Roberto's rigid unconsciousness. “Carry this body, and this, and this" â€"pointing to severalâ€"“to the hospital." “If they are. not dead now, they will soon be under his knife," laughed one of his assistants. ’ , 1 UL W-~'wâ€" -â€" When Roberto revived, he found himself in a carefully darkened room. With joy he heard the word “Amalia" in a friendly voice. In a day or two, according to Antonio's previously con- certed arrangements, he was smuggled, in the disguise of a waterman, to an English ship in the harbor and conâ€" cealed in the hold all night. The next day he thanked his devoted cousin as he inhaled with a glad sense of freedom the fresh breeze of the sea. He never retruned to Cuba. The gay capital of Cuba was quite electrified a month later to learn of the resignation from the army of Cap- tain _Antonio, and his marriage im- mediately after, in spite of opposition on the part of her family, to the beau- tiful Senorita Amalia de Valdez.

E888 represent a type of perfect fOOd; they are nourishing, palatable, cheap at this season of the year when we want them most, and agreeable to almost every one. They should be very fresh for table use, and if properly cooked can be eaten every day with Pleasure as well as impunity. The simplest way t5 coo}. an 888 is to boil it. But there is a right and a wrong way to do even as simple a thing as this. Usually, the egg is plunged into boiling water and left there three minutes for a “soft boil- ed " and from eight to ten minutes for a “ hard-boiled" egg. In the first place, the white of the egg is cooked unevenly, that next the yolk often not being coagulated. while the yolk is in a state of nature, having been mere- ly warmed a little. The hard-boiled egg is literally hard, and the white especially is indigest- ible. T9 boil eggs soft, try this plan: Lay them in a saucepan and rather more than cover them with boiling wa- ter. Let them stand where the wa- ter will keep just below the boiling Point for ten minutes. Then, when broken, the white will be found to be jelly-like, and the yolk, though not hard, will be cooked. They will be much like boiled custard, and will have quite a different flavor to the palate. Eggs that are wanted hard should be boiled slowly for twenty minutes. The yolk will then be mealy, and it will be perfectly digestible, so much so that physicians frequently order boiled eggs of this kind for their pa- tients. Baked eggs make a nice breakfast dish. Butter 3 pie-plate and break in- to it as many eggs as you wish. Pep- per and Silt each yolk, and lay a bit of butter in it. Set in the oven till the whites are firm, which will take about fifteen minutes. Poached eggs and dropped eggs are one and the same in the cook’s vocabu- lary. But as many muffin rings into the pan as you have eggs to cook and pour in a quart of boiling water, add- ing a teaspoonful of sat. Set the pan where the water will boil gently and break an egg in each ring. Cook till the whites set, pour off the water, take out the muffin rings and lift the eggs to a hot platter with the aid of your pancake turner. Serve on squares of buttered toast. ‘vvv-v Eggs are scrambled by breaking them into hot butter, and as soon as they begin to set, stirring them all together with a knife. Just as soon as the whites seem done, the eggs are done and should go to the table, via a hot dish, instanter. , Another way of making a scramble is to beat five eggs with a generous ta- blespoonful of melted butter, a small teaspoontul of salt, and half a cup of sweet milk, with a dust of white pep- per. Cook in the double boiler. stir- ring constantly until a creamy mass is formed, when it is done and should go to the table immediately. A Baked Omeletâ€"Belt seven eggs well. Then heat a pint of milk to the boiling point, putinto it a tablespoonful of butter and. a scant teaspoonfu-l of salt, and next a tablespoonful of flour rubbed smooth in a little cold milk. Pour into the dish containing the eggs and stir fast and hard till well mixed. (1‘5“ “\£L -qu ‘- Pour into a buttered earthen dish and bake in a verv hot oven.

A lady who undertook to grow the passion flower, Passiflora incarnata, in the house had. very good success with it, her first failures, due to lack of sufficient heat. She found it appar- ently half, if not wholly, hardyâ€"that is; it stood frosts without giving up the ghost, and when, after snow came, she still green and she has hopes of being able to keep it over. She says, in Vick’s Magazine : The Japan pink is a biennial that is fine for cutting for bouquets. A paper of seed of “ double mixed " gave fifty plants only two of which were similar. They differ in size and color and shape growing a great variety. The seeds germinate quickly in the house,. and as they are hardy will endure more cold than most seedlings. They must be hardened before transplanting by leav- ing them in the open air both day and night. . A . n * ‘â€"‘â€"- u-Dn‘fi The late Empress of Austria was very fond of flowers, and at her Villa Achilleon on the isle of Corfu had a huge field of roses, comprising 25,000 bushes, of all kinds and colors. A trel- lised walk covered with climbing noisâ€" ette and niphetos roses inclosed the field, and the flower-laden branches met and interlaced overhead and then fell in perfumed showers almost to the ground. The rose garden is so planned that it has the least possible appear- ance of. design.

As instance of the rapid growth of the rubber tree, Ficus Elastica, a lady writes to a floral magazine that from a slip out in 1894, she had four years later a tree ten feet high, with 141 leaves and a stem six and a quarter inches in circumference.

Before commencing to carve see that the meat is placed on the dish as it should be and that all strings and. skewers are removed before it is brought to the table. Make sure that your knife is sharp and has a good edge before commencing, for it is rath- er awkward for a woman to use the steel at the table. Turkey, chicken. goose and duck should be placed on the dish with their heads to the left. Small birds, such as grouse or par- tridges, should be placed across the dish with their heads farthest from you. A leg of mutton or veal should be carved with the thickest ert toward the back of tthe dish, a shoulder of mutton or veal with the thickest put up, and a sirloin roast or a rib roast _ ;2_LL should have of the dish, v- UA‘V “II“ The sirloin steak should have the tenderloin next to the carver, a fillet of beef should have the thickest end at the right side of the dish, and a sad- dle of mutton should be placed with the tail end to the left of the carver. The positions mentioned should be carefully observed if one expects to do good work in this line. ._ 1.....L bvvu 'VVA.’ -.. ‘â€"â€"â€" ..â€"_.. To carve a leg of mutton or lamb place the fork firmly in the top, turn it in toward you and out thin, even slices through to the bone; then slip the knife under and cut them away from the. bone. Roasts of beef should be carved in very thin slices across the grain. A Turkish wedding has just occurred at Constantinople. The bridegroom was Djaird Bey and the bride was the granddaughetr of Kaptan Pasha, Min- ister of Marine, and the only Turk who successfully and constantly bul- lies the Sultan. This grandâ€"father is- enormously wealthy, and Meob Han- noum, the bride, is his favorite, so the wedding was a very gorgeous affair. Of course Djaird Bey never saw his bride's face until after the wedding. but reports say that it is worth seeing. The girl is a radiant beauty, which is natural enough, for her mother. Hamide Hannoum is the Turkish belle of Constantinople and a power in the kingdom. The idea of the bowstring and sack for rebellious wives doesn't apply to Hamide. She has buried one husband and divorced three, and has merely started upon her career. Her daughter is said to have inherited her temper as well as her beauty. so the outlook for Djaird Bey is stormy. Vuyvau .vâ€" The bride's trousseau was ofamagâ€" nificence beside which the achieve- ments of our Canadian brides would look like samples. There were thirtyv three tea gowns, not to speak of visâ€" iting gowns, carriage gowns, state gowns, provided in like profusion, and the jewels would make even a queen of opera bouffe pale with envy. , -l_ 4"-_ -‘, UL Vrv-w wvw The marriage ceremony took place at the palace of the grandfather, and an elaborate luncheon followed it. Then steam launches took the bridal party over to the Bey's home, on the Asiatic shore. A rigidly closed state carriage met the boats, and into it the close- ly muffled bride was bundled, with her mother, who, must have been a great comfort to her daughter. The bride- groom rode ahead on a prancing whit! steed. When the house was reached the bridegroom led the bride to the state chamber, where he lifted her veil, and, for the first time, saw her face. Then he escaped, and went out and threw pennies to the beggars. The bride mounted a throne, on a raised dais, and was exhibited for three hours. Throngs of guests came in and looked her over, while they ate jam and sherbet, drank coffee, and smoked ,cigarettes. The trousseau was laid tout for their edifica‘tion, too. Evidently a Turkish wedding is a sociable, unconventional affair, agreai improvement upon conservative west- ern customs, for every one, [fiend and toe alike, is free to attend the function and see the Show.
