SELECTED STORY.
Mrs. Itucklcr's Sirect Ajiplos.

Aulumn wns just beginniug to rovcnl

tlio gorgcoiiB aututuu of weatern

lIrs. lluoklei, n frecklcd bui coincly
nnd tull young woinnn, wus just sclting
outfor u twclve-milo tramp to tlio little
8ettlomcDt in tho Vnllcy, wlieroshclinil
to .return n flatiron nnd n pnir of wool
cnrds whtcli buo bad borrowcd of nu
obliging ncighbor.
Nuighbors, in tboso dnys, woro fow
nnd far bc.twcon in tlie counlry diBtricts
of Nova Scotia. Tho great craptlncss
croatcd by tho oxpulson of tho Aca
dians had not yot beon Illled up. For
tho ticighbors, it bochoovcd tbcm to
bo ncighborly.
Mrs. Bucklcr wns nn untirlng workor,
nnd hor rnro vieita to tho Vnlley consti
tutcd her ouly holiday. Sho had to
walk, of courso, os her husbaud hnd no
horso, nnd shc hnd no nmbltion to rido
ono of tlio faithful but dolibcrnto oxon.
And indcud, n raattcr of twelvo milos
ecetncd nolhing of conscqucnco to hcr.
"Bo suro nnd got back boforo dark,
'Miryl" admonished her hueband, lenn
iug meditatively ngainst tho woodpilo
na ho wntched her kiss tho children for
gootl-by.
" Shooh! Stove, I reokon you can put
tho babies to bed all richt for onco.
can't you? It ain't often I got off; nnd
when I do, I hko to mnko n good dny
ofitl"
"It nin't lookln' nftcr tho cliildren
thnt I'm thinkiug of 'Miry, aa you know
right willl" roplied Stevo " Bucklcr,
carncBlly. " But you know how thick
the bears aro on tho niountniu thiayear;
and thero's no manner of doubt thnt
waa a wolf bruahed by mo in tho pas
turo night before last. It ain't safe for
you to bo coraing up through tho woods
after dark all alono that way. Stny all
night, if you ilnd it getting lutol"
"Ou! I ain't afraidl" nverrcd Mrs.
Buckler, atoutly. "I rnny get back
nforo dark; but if I don't, I'll bo care
ful and carty n light wilh mo!"
Theee coufldent worda she flung back
ovor hor shoulder, as stfo atarted gayly
down tho rough woodland way.
Arriving in duo tirao at tho aettle
ment in the Valley, aho did her errands,
picked up tho news, and richly enjoyed
the rnre luxury of a goaaip. Timo went
all too quickly; and it waa on tho edge
of dark ero aho thought of atarting for
homo. Then, of courso, thoro wero ve
hement proteata. Her frionds urged
her to etay all night, picturing the
perila of tho journey, nnd lepreaentinc
thnt her huaband would never drenm of
expecting her. But Mre. Buckler, aa
her friend8 alwaya eaid, wns very "sot."
Futting neide nll nrgumenta, she atarted
out on her long and lonely tramp.
Sho had little to carry, but that little
waa somewhat troubleaomo to manago.
It was an apronful of sweet appleB for
the children, a treat which sho knew
thoy would enjoy. Sweet apples woro
then a rarity in South Mountain.
When at length Mrs. Buckler roached
tho laat hou80 on tho edge of tho Val
ley, and found herself faco to faco with
the long climb up tho mountain, sho
felt compclled to acknowledge in hor
heart that the night waa very dark.
And eho had yet uearly four milea to
go, through almost unbroken wooda.
Iu thoae four mileB thero were but two
cabina to break the monotouy of tho
way; and thc furlher of tlieao waa a
milo nnd n half from her homo. Sho
heailated a uioraeut, then went into the
houae, and naked for a pine-knot to
light her on her journey.
Ilere ugaiu aho was urged to atay;
but lighting her lorch sho aet her faco
reaolutely to the mountain eide. A8
aho penctratcd among the ancieut trees
the unsteady light of the pine-knot
caBt slraugely moving shadowa, and
monetrous ehapea aeemed to apring up
nnd disappear on all aidea. For tho
flret timo aho grew nervous, and felt
an inclination to glanco over her shoul
der. Tliis aho preaently conquered,
with aonie scorn. Nevertheleas, aho
could not holp haateniug her stopa;
and tho iirat cabin in the mountain had
tho air of n refuge to her, ns aho turned
in to get a fresh pine-knot.
Ilere, top, ahe was strongly presaed
to end her journey for the night. But
now her obstinaey wbb well aroused.
She waa nettled at heraelf for haviug
felt afraid. It was with aotueihing of
tho atr of one who goea forth to battle
tlat ahe gripped her torch aud clulchud
her apron of sweet applea, aa aho
tuined again to tho blackncaa of the
forcat path.
To ward off unpleaeant thoughta, ahe
kept picturing in her mind tho way the
children would enjoy the applea in tho
moruing. She also thought of the re
monBtrancea, tempered with ill con
cealed udmiration, with which her hua
band would greet her return. Her
blood quite glowed again aa aho thought
of the lofty faahion in which ahe would
make light of it nll. Juat at this nio
mentahe saw, in the middle of tho path
before hor, a large black bear, watch
ing hor curiously.
II er heart stood atill, and ahe her
aelf inatantly followed tliis oxample.

back into tho pnth and followed hor.
Ilor flrat nnd moat nnturnl irapulao

thls, nftcr ono atnrtled lenp forwnrd,
aho checkcd with n mighty effort of her
will. Sho wolked on with awift but
etondy stopa, wntching tho bcnr out of
tho corncr of her oyo, but nll tho timo
clulching obatinntely at hor apronful of
applea. Tho bcnr, very slowly, kept
(irawmg ciosor anu cioacr, ooni upon
nttncking, but evitlontly detorrcd by
urcau 01 tlio lorcu.
Botwcen thia cnbin nnd tho next tho
di8tnnco waa but half n milo. Hor
ncrves woro now getting ao well atendied
thnt aho no longor cared for tho loom
ing nnd ahifting ahadows, till nt longth
n ahadow diatinctly amallor than tho
reat mado tho uuderbruah ruatlo nudl
bly with ila motion. Her heart gavo a
most uncomfortablo lcnp, nnd aho
atrnightway thought of tho wolf which
her huaband hnd apokcn of. But, wolf
or annuow, u ueu nwny without monac
ing hor: nnd aho cnmo in enfoty to tho
laat cabin betweon hor nnd homo.
Hero tho ncighbore wero naleop, nnd
sho hnd to nrouso them in order to beg
anothcr plnc-knot. Thc ono which sho
hnd got nt tho provioua houso wns by
no menns burned out, but sho fcnred
leat it ahould fail beforo tho cnd of her
journey. Tho aleopy neighbora wero
aatoniabcd at hor appcaranco. Thoy
turealonca to uotain uer by force. when
aho refuacd their iuvitation to atay nll
nigiit witu luem. iiixi Mra. Buckler
was by thia timo a good denl"worked
un," aa aho aftcrward cxnreeaed her-
Bilf; nnd eho trentcd thcir kind per
auasiona with ecant Jcurtesy. She al-
moat, ran irom tno nouao; out in ner
apron, among tho awcot applea, aho
carricd tho cxtrn pino knct, all the
sarac.
But tho torch, mennwhilo, waa burn
ing low; and Mra. Buckler, iu her rx
citement, failed at lirat to notico tliis.
Sho washolding tho pine-knot ovcr her
ahoulder, na n sort of ahicld ngainat her
pureuer. AVhen, with a shakiug at tho
knecs, aho realized that it was on tho
pointof llickering out, sho tried haBlily
to light tho other; and in tho cffort
aomo of hcr trcaaured applea fell out of
her apron, and rolled bchiud hor on
the path.
Aa aoon na tho bear camo to thoae
applea he Btonpcd, nnd begnn dovour
ing them with the kceueat reliah.
" Whyl " though, Mrs. Buckler, with
a audden lightening of her load of tcr
ror; " it's not me he's nfter, but tho
aweet npplesl " nnd atrnightway all hor
old courago returned.
She paused, and took timo to light
her new pine-knot deliberately and
well. Then aho hurried on; and it waa
aome minutca beforo her pureuer was
again at her hcels.
And now, so audden nro tho revul
sions of a womau's fcelings, she waa
concerned only for tho aweet applea.
Thoy wero tho children's npples; nnd
it went aorely ngninat her grnin to let n
benr hnvo nny of them. Not until ho
had como moat uncomfortably cloao
could aho bring heraelf to ngain pro
pitiato him; and then eho doled out
but threo of tho precioua green globes,
dropping them on tho pnth behind hcr
with slow reluctance.
Tho animal took perhnps n qunrter
of a minute to disposo of tliis nig
gardly contribution, nnd then camo on
ngain with n sort of hopeful confldonce.
" Nol" declared Mra. Buckler, flrm
y, " you ain't goiu' to havo nnother
onel" and she fairly broko into a run.
But when that heavy, shambling gal
lop soundcd close at hor back, her reso
lution weakened, aud eho droppcd n
couplo moro out of tho npron. Whilo
tho much-gratitled bear delaycd to cnt
these, aho rounded u turu of the rond,
nnd was gladdened by tho sight of her
own window glimmoring somotwohuu
dred yards in front.
Calliug hcr hueband's namo two or
threo times at tho top of her voico, till
sho snw him iling open tho door nnd
rusb out to meet her, sho hugged tho
remnant of tho applea to her brenat,
llung hor torch nt tho bear, nnd aped
like n deor toward the hoube. AVhether
tho benr followed her further or not,
ahe nbver knew. It certaiuly did not
come near enough to the houae for her
huaband to calch aight of it, for, aa aho
flung heraelf into hia arnia, pauting,
triumphant, halfway betVeeu laughter
nnU leara, ne aakeu uer wuat waa the
raatter.
" Mutterl" she cried, indignantly,
"That'o juat like a raau, after all 1'vo
gone tbiough to got honiel" Aud sho
pulleu uim vit'lautly into the houae anu
alammed tbu door.
Stovo Buckler waa nuilo too judicioua
to remind her of tho luct that ho had
urged her either to como homo beforo
dark, or else atav all night, He did not
even let lt appear 111 tiia taco for au in-
ataut that he thought of such n thing.

licipaled, praiaed her bravery nnd re

THE HOUSEHOLD,
A Slght-Scoklng I'roccsslon,
A pnthetlc etory thnt comes from
Chlna glvea nn illuatrntton of how
medical missiona proparo tho way for
tho advnnco of Chriatinnily, eays tho
Ohri8lian Lcader. A military graduato
was succcaafully treated for n cntnract
nt tho miaeion hospltnl in Hankow. Aa
ho returned to his homo, forty-eight
othorblind mcu gathcred about him,
and boggcd him to lcad thom to tho
wondorful forolgn doctor. So thia
Btrango proccaaion of blind meu, each
holdlng on to tho olher's ropo, walked
for two hundrcd nnd llfty milea to Han
kow, and noarly all wero cured. Ono,
who could not bo cured, rccoivcd whilo
iu tho hospital, thobottor gifts of Bpirit
ual hcnling.
Souiothlng About Meats.
Wo wenry of tho enmo old "storoc
typed " diahoa. All aorts of food, ea
peclnlly tho diffcront kinds of meat,
need to bo vnried. Even roast lamb
palls upon tho nppetito whon eorvcd
too often in just tho samo stylc. Too
much roaat pork ia not conaidored
wholc8omo, alihough nccompanied by
tho indiepcnaablo applc-aaucc. Mnny
will not touch pork nt oll, unleaa thoy
" know tho pig," nud roast beof of tho
bcst gets to bo au " old story " nfter n
whilo. Poultry is not alwnys within
ronch, aa to plnco or prico.
To mako n aubatnntial nnd sntiefac
tory dish from what ia left over from
rcgular roaata is indeed quito nn ntt.
nud opens tho wny for somo moat iu-
tcrcsting exporiments in cookeiy, ns
wtll ns for tho preaentntiou of aomo
mott delicioua aud attractivo diahea.
If fow nro to bo Bcrvcd, or but littlo
meat i3 wauted, a forequnrlcr of lamb
will uo tor roaating, aud tho meat ia
very eweet, for tho " nearer tho bone,
tho ewcetcr tho meat" ia a truo old
ndago, but it ia poor economy to pay
for much bone.
So the les of lamb, wilh tho bouo
taken out, and put in ron3ting ahnpo by
tho butcher, ia by far tho eaeier and
moro protitable way to inveat iu thia
particular meat. StuQlng tho leg give8
n variely, but without thia wo auppoao
it roasted, well done, nnd plenty of rich
brown grnvy lo go with it, nnd bo left,
with what is not uaed, nt tho flrat aerv-
ing.
Tho next day's dinner cnn bo mndo
very nceentnblo bv tlicinir. rnlher
thickly, and across tho grain, of courso,
tho cold lamb, covering it with tho
browu gravy, nnd mnkinir it verv hot.
ns to cookit would only mnko it tough.
lt is very easy to aervo thia wnv. taatea
differently from tho original roaat, and
is oiten preierreu to it.
More ineat would vet be left from n
log of lamb, of modernto weight, in n
fnmily of aix. Tho homely, ragged
parts left can bo utilized in many wnys
for brenkfast diahes. When flnelv
chopped, nnd bartly moiatcned in aomo
ot tno Drown gravy, it mnkea a moat
dclicious hasb.plain or servedon toast.
nnd eomo of tho chopped lamb, hold
logoiner uy nn egg nnu a llttlo maahed
potato, mako a diah of croquettea that
no ono will obiect to. Tho butcher
upon requeet will aend homo the bonea,
with the meat, which will mnko tho
foundntion for mnnv a kind of aoun.
So n leg of lnmb ia n most economical
lnvestment, anu ono noed not wenry of
tho roaat either.
A round steak can bo treated ao that
it will mako a nice and handsome din
ner diah ns nceentnblo nuito aa a roaat.
Get a thick alico from tho teuder part
of the round. Trim off all the fat and
cut it in Bmall bits to put under tho
meat, in tho oven. Trim tho meat to a
long oval in shapo that it inay look
weu. iay it lor a coudio of Uours on a
plattnr, with n half n cupful of vinegar
under it, and nnother half a cunful of
vinegar over it. This will mnko the
toughest ment tender, this ns tender ns
porterhouae steak. Theu dry off with
n clean napkin, and mako adrcaaing of
aiaie Dreau, crumuieu, nigtiiy scasouetl
with salt, pepncr, cavenne. and a littlo
powdered thyme, moistened wilh
melted butter, ono well-beaten egg, and
onough hot wator to mako it Bpread
ca8ily. Lay tho steak iu n dripping
pan, with tho chopped bi'.s of fat uuder
it. Spread tho droaaing amoothly all
over tho top of tho meat, placo it in a
hot oven aud bnke twenty miuutea, or
n littlo moro if tho etenk is very thick.
