Things You Should Know

FEEDING THE AGED.
Okl age is in reality a second child
1. 1. The infant needs certain food
elements to sustain and produce
growth; it will tolerate even more
than is needed. But the aged need
c. v sustenance, and cannot comfort
abl\ ' ear more food than that neces
sarv to sustain life. Perhaps it is
instinct that leads the old man to
i . t on the plainest, most nourish
ing, unstimulating diet.
I f grandpa insists on his corn-bread
and milk, don’t deny him; if h'e just
must have roast potato, you need
r • call him a back number because
he abhors scalloped potatoes. If you
cajole him into eating some new
fangled dish with a little of every
thing in it, yet no real fuel for the
waning fire, you may give him an
alarming fit of indigestion away into
the night. If he refuses shrimp salad,
try him on graham mush!
Th'c oldest machine of today, was
probably built out of the best material

correctly lubricated, no overloads
having been heaped upon it, and, hav

machine to last a long time, do noth

While white linen damask is the
classic cover for the formal dinner
table, it is now quite permissible to use
a tinted cloth in one of the soft pastel
colors which harmonize with the de
sign of the china. And it the home
setting is rather elaborate, the cloth
of linen and lacc or an ail-lacc cloth
may be used—providing, of course,
that the appointments of the table are
in harmony with the cloth.
Instead of using "set'’ china, as was
once the custom, the smart hostess
may present each course upon china
of different design and coloring—the
only restriction being that the changing
patterns be related to each other in
stead of in sharp contrast.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
She laid her troubled, tear-stained
face upon his shoulder.

“And will you come that way home
to-night, after the concert?’
“Yes.”
“It is good.”
It was almost midnight, and
Palermo lay sleeping in the moon
light. The concert was over. Une
bv one the promenaders had leit the
Marina, and all sound had died away.
One man alone lingered drinking m
the sweetness of the night. 1 ne,
Englishman sat on the last seat o- ,
the Marina, in the shadow of a cluster ^
of orange trees.
He had seen her again—nay, more,
he had heard her sing—this gin

by storm. \ , 1

out cigar between his teeth, and jus
eves idly wandering over the blue
Mediterranean. Suddenly the stillness
was broken by the sound of a soil
gliding footstep close at hand. He
had heard no one approach, yet when
he looked Up quickly he found he was
no longer alone. A man in the garb
of a native peasant was standing by
his side. -
Naturally the Englishman was a
Utile surprised. He half rose from
his seat, and then resumed it as he
recognized the dark, swarthy face and \
black eyes of the waiter wife hfee told

“1 want no help! How many of the
ilackguards are theref”
“Four, Signori” ^
“Natives ?”
“Yes, Signor.”
“And cowards, I suppose?
The man smiled.
“They have not much bravery,
Signor. I know the men.”
“I wouldn’t have anyone else here
for the world," the Englishman said,
shaking his fist.
“Does the Signor want a knite?
isked the man, thrusting his hand into
lis inner pocket.
“Not I. We don’t understand that
sort of thing in*our country, my brave
\ndrea. Fisticuffs will settle this little
matter, you’ll see!” . .
The man looked up admiringly at
after them.
The ascent was steep, and the road
curved round and round in zig-za.-r
fashion. On one side it was bordered
by a thickly-growing orange grove,
whose delicate perfume was sweeten
ing the still languid air. On the other
was a stretch of waste open country,
separated from the road by a low wall.
He chose the seaward side, and keep
ing under the shadow of the trees,
followed them, his footsteps sinking
noiselessly into the thick dust.
Once the two ladies paused to look
back. He stopped too; and the two
bending figures between them drew
closer into the shadows, and waited.
He was some distance away, but the
sound of her voice floated clearly
down to him on a breath of that faint
night air. . . .
Again thev turned, and again he
followed. Suddenly his heart gave ;

and broad shoulders.
“I think they will run away from
the Signor when they see him,” he
whispered. “But let the Signor re

front of the two girls was a rudely
built country carriage, drawn by 2
pair of tnules and with a single man
on the box. They had paused at snob
an unexpected sight, and seemed to be
deliberating in whispers whether or no
they should proceea. Before they had
come to any decision, the two men had
crept out from the shadow of the wall

him Adrienne Cartuccio’s name.
“Hullo! What are you doing tore?

suspicion. This change of dress was
doubtless for 'he purpose of disguise.
What was the meaning of it?
"Well, and now you’ve found me,
what do you want?” he asked, watch
ing him closely.
“I will tell the Signor. Is it not
that he has an admiration for Made
moiselle Cartuccio, the singer? Well,
she is in danger 1 It is for the Signor
to rescue her.”
The Englishman sprang up with
sparkling eyes, and pitched his dead
cigar into the sea.
“'Ip danger 1” he repeated breath
lessly. ‘‘Quick 1 Tell me where 1"
The man pointed inland.
"Do you see that belt of white road

As: what about it ?”
Have you noticed anything pass
along it?”
and some mules, I think, went by half
an hour ago.”
The native shrugged his shoulders.
"It was an hour, Signor, but no
matter! Step back with me into the
shadow of those olive trees. '1 hat is
better. Now we cannot be seen, and
1 will explain.”
The Englishman beat the ground
with his foot.
‘‘Explanations be damned!” he ex
claimed. “Where is Mademoiselle
Cartuccio? Quick!”
The man held up his hands, and
spoke more rapidly.
“This evening I heard by accident
of a plot to carry off Signorina
Cartuccio by a rejected suitor. I
hasten to inform the police, but on
the way I pause. I say tc myself,
what shall I get for my pains, and
tor the risk 1 run? Nothing! Then
I think of the Signor. I watched his
fare when the Signorina pass by, and
I say to myself he has the passion of

her he will be generous. He will win
the lady, and he will reward poor
Andrea.”
"That s all right. ieU me what to
do, and I will (five you fifty pound*—

The man’s eyes shone with cupidity.
He went on rapidly:

grove. They had reached the road,
and in the distance they could hear
the sound of approaching voices.
“I leave you now, Signor,” whis
pered his companion to the English
man. “I dare not be seen. To-mor
row, at the hotel.”
He glided noiselessly away. The
Englishman scarcely heard him, he
was listening 'intently. Light foot
steps were coming along the winding
road toward him, and soon a laughing
voice rang out upon the night air.
“My dear Adrienne, don’t you think
we were a tittle foolish to walk home
so late as this? See, there is not a
soul upon the promenade.”
"Tant mieuxl" was the light answer.
“Is it not to escape from them all, that
we came this way? The stillness is
exquisite, and the night breeze from
the sea, after that hot room, is divine.
What a view we shall have of the bay
when we get to the top of the hill.”
“They say that this place is infested
with robbers, and it is terribly lonely,”
was the somewhat fearful answer.
“Why would you not let poor Leo
nardo come with us?”
“Because I did not want Leonardo,
chcric. Leonardo is very good, but
he wearies me by persisting to dwell
upon a forbidden subject; and as for
protection—well, I fancy Giovanni is
sufficient.”
lhey were passing him njw so close
that he felt impelled to hold his breath.
He had only ?. ,c.»r.entary glimpse of
them, but it v»as sufficient. A few
yards behind, a sullen-looking servant
was trudging along, looking carefully
around. In the white moonlight their
faces, even their expressions, were
j perfectly visible to him; Adrienne’s
rapt and absorbed by the still restful
beauty of the dreaming night, and
indifferent to all fear; her companion,
whose dark eves were glancing some
what anxiously around her, and Gio
vanni’s, whose furtive looks, more
expectant than apprehensive, marked
him out to the Englishman as an
accomplice in whatever deviltry whs
afoot Unseen himself, he watched
them pass, and listened to tneir voices
growing fainter and fainter in the
distance. They were oat of sight and
oat of hearing.
He wu preparing to tonow tnem,
when suddenly_ another sound broke
the stillness. He held his breath, and
crouched down, watching. In a min
ute, two dark forms, keeping carefully
ki the shadows by the side oi the road,
crept stealthily past.
he waited till they, too, were out of
sight, and then stood up with tingling
pulses, but quite cool. Moving on tip
toe, he stepped lightly over the low
stone wall into the road, and gazed
bodies hurried toward them.
He did not shout out or make any
noise; he simply lessened the distance
between him and them b) increasing
his pace. The two stooping forms,
casting long, oblique shadows across
the white, hard road, were almost level
with their intended victims. Now the
shadow of one of them crept a little
in advance of the ladies, and Adrienne
Cartuccio, seeing it, stepped suddenly
back with a cry of alarm.
“Giovanni I Giovanni I There are
robbers I Ah 1"
The cry became a shriek, but it waa
instantly stifled by ft coarse hand
thrust upon her mouth. At the same
moment her companion felt herself
treated in a similar manner. They
could only gaze into the dark ruffianly
faces of their captors ih'mute terror.
The whole thing had been too sudden
for them to make any resistance, and
Giovanni, their trusted escort, seemed
suddenly to have disappeared. As a
matter of fact, he was watching the
proceedings from behind a convent nt
bowlder.
The man who was holding Adrienne
pointed to the carriage, the door of
which the driver had thrown open.
“This way, Signorina,” he said. “It
is useless to struggle. We shall not
harm you.”
She shook her head violently, and
with a sudden effort thrust his hand
away from her mouth.
“Wh.'.t do you want?” she c:led.
“Wi.o e j o”i ? V*.- c_;i l.uve niy
jewvl^, out I will never step inside
that carriage. Kelp! help!”
He wound his arms around her, and,
without a word, commenced dragging
her across the road.
“You may shout as much as you
like,” he muttered. “There will only
be echoes to answer you.”
A sudden warning cry raug out
from his companion, and,, with a start,
he released his victim. The English
man had stepped into the middle of the
group, and, before He could spring
back, a swirling left-hander sent him
down into the dust with a dull, heavy
thud.

out. Then turning quickly round he
faced the other man, who had sprung
across the road with bent bodv, and
with his right hand in his breast.
There was a gleam of cold steel, but
before he could use the knife which
he had drawn, his arm was grasped
and held as though by a vice, and
slowly bent backward. He dropped
the weapon, with a shriek of pain,
upon the road, and fell on. his knees
before his captor.
The Englishman’s grasp relaxed,
and taking advantage of it, the man
suddenly jumped up, leaped rvc- ‘i.o
wall, and disappeared in the planta
tion. Pursuit would have been impos
sible, but none of them thought of it.
