QUATKEFOIL
Some two or thr years ago any one
passing tnrougb rifty-ninth utreet. Mew
York, about 0 o'clock on pleasant morn
ings might have seen two girls on iiore
Dacic, attended by a staid, elderly proom.
enter tho Eighth avenue gate of Central
Park, and presently disappear under' tile"
loofy aVchtrny which forma the entrance
to tho Bridle road.
These two girls were my cousin Leslie
EfUnglutm and myself, Louise Marie
Arbuthnot, usually known to all my in
timatcs as Lou Arbuthnot. Leslio was a
tall, slender cirl with straight classio fea
tures, marble white complexion, and a
perfect rope of hair, "yellow like ripe
corn. On hotsebaek, in he perfectly
fitting habit, absolutely molded to her
fixture, she was 000 continued sinuous.
eraccful outline from head to foofa
Moreover, she was very clover, studkxU,
and well read, and had but one serious
fault in mv eyes, that of bring morbidly,
incuraJJv sh Vi and especiallr with men.
One would have thougM every man was
a wolf In snoop s clothing.
In this respect, as in most others,! was
perfect contrast to Leslie, as I was
short, plump, and rosy cheeked, with
curly brown hair, and I hare been told
often that the dimples round my mouth
and under my eyes are But there!
What is tbe use of repeating such things?
At that timo I had been advised to try
riding for my health, and Leslie, who al
ways went out every day, had invited
mo to accompany her regularly. - To this
plan I had but one objection the fact
that' I am, and always was, an arrant
coward on horseback. My father, who
is an Englishman,' had me taught in the
no plus ultra riding school, and attempted
to instill into me his belief on the subject
of horses, which ho often summed up in
two formulas, viz.: 1, all borne can be
ridden; 8, a bone which can be ridden
by a man can be ridden by a woman.
Although by dint of Instruction
learned to ride well enough on a quiet
none, ana oven to sic a plunge or two,
I was afraid all tho time, and if an ani
mal is at all positive about having his
own way he is sure to get it with me.
To this day I prefer to ride a trotting
horse, because when a trotting horso is
trotting I am sure he is not running
away. ......
Ko words can tell how I hated end
feared my black pony Bprite, and well
did the little wretch know it and take
advantage of Ids power. , Perhips three
morning out of four lie would go along
quietly enonjli, the fourth be would shy
at every baby wagon, D. P. P. cart, drain
cover, or brij-lit pebble he could see, kick
at imaginary flies, squat like a rabbit if
he saw a bicycle, t lien leap np and scut
Ho away ia the same fashion. Worse
still, though he had abaolutely no fear of
the elevated read, at such tunes he
would not go under "ft, but turning short
round and rising placidly on his hind
less, would give nte the option of getting
o3 over his tail or surrendering at dis
cretion,' ""
In Tain did Leslie urge, scold, coax,
and ridicule me; the result was always
the same: her groom had to come up and
lead Sprite.
Leslie, who in the saddle knew no fear,
tvuld mat Kilia fBT timUity, Straws
hone, a powerful bay thoronghbred,
seemed to me a perfect terror, liable as'
bo was at any tnotnent to jump an un
known number cf feet off tbe ground,
lash out viciously while ia the air, then
landing a dozen feet farther on, cantor
away as quietly as before; but Leslio
liked nothing better.
Notwithstanding my frequent terrors,
these morning rides were very pleasant.
Often we met and exchanged greetings
with girls whom wo knew, though we
seldom joined any other party. Soma
riders wo were) 1100117 ur to meet,
among them MQicent Tremaine on her
pretty but wicked little mustang, and
about fljis time you were pretty apt to
see Fred Varjderhayden's ahowy Mack
mare Forget lie Not trotting as close
alongside, the Comet as tbe pony would
allow. Often, too, we met tbe Dayton
twins, and rain or shino we were sure to
see those fast friends Rhita Trarers and
Edith Msyfleld. It always amused ma
to see Lr and Edith sOtyndd scan each
other's horses. Both were, in school par
lance, crack riders, but Lot had ridden
all her life, while Hiss Uayueld had only
been riding a few years. Though Lea
syas by far the handsomest woman and
most graceful rider, Edith was hard to
beat for dash, pluck and fearlessness. As
her cousin, Grahjm Vane, used to say: "I
never mind seeing Edith on a bad bone
as I would another woman. I always
fed sure she will corn out all right
svmebowar other. She has the knack
of managing bones."
Miss Mayficld needed to have a knack,
for I never saw any on rid habitually
ajocb Satanic animah, though Lrnljf some
times looked poattirely envious, while
Edith never failed to cast an admiring
glance at Lealio' hatvnwnwi Rooahan Bey,
especially if at the time he happened to
be having an attack of hysteria of the
bind leg,
On morning ktta la April we rode Up
to the end of Tenth aveooe, and turned
into a field to jump, while Leslie sent her
proota off on an errand, saying that
sneaattme she would gave jsouanan ner
boom practice over a stone walL I
jumped orit over tb low nil fence
that dirVied She new irons inm roao. ana
this feat -.wiJ all my "t,tt in that
line.
Leslie put Rousfaan Bey at the highest
part of the stoat wan, which he cleared
grandly, Urt broke sway on landing, and
Leslie could not at once pun bun in.
Sprite, thinking himself dtwrted. ruabed
at the waS, stepped aliort, then, rising en
his hind legs, planted Ids forefeet on the
top stone, ana stood, calmly but firmly
refusing to move. I screamed to Leslio
to come quick, while Sprite only whisked
his little uocked tail, cocked his ears, and
actually wriggled with enjoyment of my
dilemma.
At my call Leslio turned Iter horse
round to come to como to my assistance,
but Rousban Bey, alarmed at the curious
spectacle, refused to como near mo, rear
ing angrily at each attempt Leslio mode
to force him up.
At this -moment I tow a horseman
Coining rapidly toward us, evidently in
tending to jump. At my shriek he
chocked his horse, just glanced at Leslie,
but seeing that she needed no assistance,
ho dismounted, throw the reins on tho
neck of his horse and came toward me.
I called to him to "run, please," but ho
Was too good a horseman for that Ad
vancing quickly, he made a slight detour,
swinging himself lightly over the wall
and coming quietly up to me, slipped one
arm through the pony's bridlo and pass
ing the other round my waist, lifted me
from the saddlo and placed mo gently on
tho ground. -
. The next moment Master Sprite found
hilnself on bis four feet with a man firm
ly seated on Ins back. Not liking tho
change, the pony made, a sudden attempt
to kick tho new rider off; that foiling,
tried to get rid of him by turning short
round and plunging sideways, a plan
which proved equally unsuccessful, Sprit
was a pony of much sagacity, and al
ways, if be could, avoided any personal
discomfort. Ho therefore appeared to
submit, and even jumped tho wall at tho
signal, though the vicious kicks ho gave
on landing were caloulated to unseat any
one, unless like a Centaur ho had been
indissolubly joined to Ids horse. I think
Sprite deeply regretted that picco of
treachery. The lesson he received it did
mo good to see, and when at length ho
was allowed a pauso to recover breath
and spirits a meeker, sadder, moro in
jured looking bony it would havo been
hard to find.
I had long since recofrnized my cham
pion as Mr. Walter Dovereux, a classmato
of my elder brother Clarence, though I
hod not seen hini since class day, when
he beguiled mo out of fire dances., I
thanked him warmly, and Leslio quietly,
for bis 'assistance, though I was still
thoroughly scared at the ride home that
lay before me.
- As Mr. B-evereus talked he kept Sprite
moving up and down, and scorned to be
adjusting the saddle. Suddenly he lifted
it oil the pony, and before I realized
what was going on he hod his own saddle
on Sprite and was buckling mine on Ids
horse. .
"What are you going to do?" I asked,
hastily.
With you permission, Miss Arb-jth-not,
I ant going to put you on my moro
and ride your pony back myself," was
the ans wet. "Pet Marjorio is a per
fect! r trained and steady animal, and
just now you are -not in 'a condition to
contend with that willful little- pony cf
yonre."
Leslie looked very much -as if sbo
would havo liked to object, but did not
well know how to do so. Nothing could
be urged against Mr. Dovcrcux except
hor general aversion to men, and she
was, besides, I think, a good deal morti
fied at having failed to get Eoushan Boy
up in time.
Mr. Dovereus wjs therefore permitted
to join us on our homeward rido. Sprite
was a marvel of propriety, though an oc
casional shy or swerve mado mo glad I
was not on his back.
Somehow after that it came about that
Mr. Dcvercux often accompanied us on
our rides. I was more timid than ever,
and Mr. Dercreuz undertook to give
Sprite some much needed lessons in sub
mission to his lot, begging mo meantime
to keep Pet Marjorio exercised, as ho
wanted his sister to rido her later on.
Onco "or twice Claronco went with us,
but he and Leslio never got on well to
gether. Lcs did not like cliaff, and had
no small talk; indeed, 1 am airaia sue
wa nftm ham by the, innesant banter
that Mr. Dovcrcux and I kept -up; but
then sho could always abstract herself,
and find sufficient company in Boushon
Bey. - .
It was not long before I knew that
Walter Dcvercux was over bead and ears
fat love with me, while I well, I did not
Want to define to myself what I thought
about him. Fur tho first timo in my life
I was curiously, strangely shy with a
man. I did not want hint to ro away,
still less did I want to be forced to any
decision, for life was so bright and happy
just then I dreaded any cliange. Hiougu
we met often olsewbere, the rides were
bast of all trass, birds, and squirrel tell
no talcs.
One morning, after a brisk cai.ter up
the west side of tho reenrvoir, we pulled
up at the north end, and turned out on
the East drive, mooting face to faco a
horseman who was trotting leisurely
down the drive. "Walter!" "Jlarionl"
broke from the stranger and Mr. Devereux
simultaneously, as tho two men clasped
nds, .Then, turning to us, Walter
Oerereux- asked permission to introduce
In. brother Marion.
Leslie, I could see, was utterly discon
certed, and instantly relapsed into one of
her most desperate Eta of dumb shyness
an infirmity which had leen gradually
dmsppearing under tbe Influence of Walter
Devereux' sunny, cordial manners and
bright boyish ways. T exert Ik-Ics she did
her beat, and after a few words bad
awd we all coo tinned up the t.a
drive, Leslia leading with Walter. fhi
'wangement did not altogether please
ana. Though llarion Devereux made
rjseif very agreeable, his lag gray
hone, Vmder, was too frisky to suit nx
as a neighbor. As we were turning

Marjorio did something or other t! jl
ised nss to crre a slight screaTa acd
drop my whip. This brought Walter
back at once, and catwed Viivlc-x to lane
and praoos in a way that at once excited
Leaue's admiration, while the abornhv
able capers that Bonahan Bey immedwte-
hr proceeded to execute a evidently ruled
Marion Devereux with respect and ap
proval. Walter found that Pet MariocVs girth
ueeded tightening, and I took tfaeonpor-
tanity to adjust my hair. Perhaps Walter 1

' Ono day kite in June we all met at the
riding school for tho last timo before sep
arating for the summer. This rido we
meant should bo a long ono, but the day
was very unpromising. - It had rained
tho whole night through, the roads were
very muddy, and U10 sky any tiling but
clear. Nevertltoless, after much discus
sion, and sitting around the parlora, and
- going to the door to look at the weather,
- "out" was tli4 word, and tho horses,
Which liad been saddled and turned round
since 0 o'clock, were ordered down. '
A new delay 1 Bounhan Bey had rubbed
the buckle of his halter into his eye dur
ing tho night, and 'could not bo ridden.
Leslio, always prompt, at once eent for
an old steeplechaser belonging to hor
undo Mr. Cbiswick, which was kept at a
stable just across tho street. He had
never been ridden 'by a lady, but this
was rather on attraction to Leslie; though,
after ono look at tbo white gleam hi his
eye, I would havo ordered a coffin and a
shroud sooner titan mounted Qtuuimodo,
as tho beast was called.
In no wise daunted by tho fact that
the horse kicked at her tho moment ho
saw tho skirt, adroitly evading tho kick,
Lea signed to tho groom to put his hand
over Quasimodo's near eyc, stolo quietly
closo up to the horse's shoulder, and
barely touching the hand Marlon Dever
eux offered, sprang lightly into the sad
dle. Drawing tho reins gently through
her fingers, sho ordered tho groom to
back the horso out into tho street without
letting go his head. On tho way to the
park Quasimodo behaved well enough,
but tho moment ho teit tho dirt road be
neath his foot ho lashed with a violence
that mado me turn faint, made a couple of
awful back jumps, and went up tho West
drivo in a succession of mad plunges,
snatching angrily at the bridle and taking
ovcry Lit of rein. I saw Lenlio's light
figuro braced well back, yielding junt
enough at each plunge to ease tho jar of
landing, I heard her clear voico ring out,
"Steady, boyl steady, sir!" and Marion
Dovereux's "Well donot well riddenl"
when Walter, laying a' hand gently on
my rein, checked Pet Morjono's forward
start.
Your consiin is all right," ho said.
Do not follow her too closely; it would
only upset Pet Marjorio and (spoil Miss
Leslic'u pleasure by anxiety for you.". ?
In fact, socio twenty minutes later,
when wo como up with tho other two,
Quasimodo and Vindcx wcro quietly
walkin3 rido by side, rubbing noses, and
doubtless discussing tho quantity of
oats and quality of hay" as earttmtly
ai their riders, were arguing the often
mooted question as tt whether Omar

No further pranks on tho j art of tho

tho Iiunilo four abreast. This was most
successfully - nceoni'iliulied, and - after
jumping wo halted under the bridgo just
below to let Marion Devereux dismount
and tako a stono out of bis horso' foot.
IIo was bending down, thus enga.'od,
when Walter cried out, "Tako core, Miss
Effingham!" But in n second, befcro
Leslie could gather up her reins or uso
her whip, Qucsiinodo calmly lay down on
his left tide, thereby allowing Les timo to
twiet licrsolf from under before bo rolled
over and over in tho wettest place he
could find, smashing tho saddlo to bits,
and covering himself with mud from

heartily in tho shouts of laughter which
greeted her as slio rorc
Needless to say, Walter and Marion
lxith sprang nt onco to her ntiitanco, but
beyond wriiijrinsr cut her hair and wiuinjc
off tho wont of tbo soft mud, litllo could
bo done, (inch incidents as thii never
troubled Leslie; but when tho saddlo was
found to bo a hopeless wreck, tlio' ques
tion was how to get home. Leslio re
fused point blank to go up tbo foot path
and get on an Eighth avemio car, saying
s!mj would walk to tho entrance of tho
park, and let tho fjoorti rido on and lead
Quadrnodo bock to his stable. Marion
Devereux at onco proposed to put Leslio
on Vindcx (sho could rido quite well side
ways on a mail's saddle) and walk by
her. ,
To my surprise Leslio did not reject
this plan, nor when Walter suggested
that ho ami I should rid forward and
send a carriago and wraps to meet Iter
at tho gate did Losho raise any objec
tion. As it (arned out, that carriage must
havo waited a long time. Perhaps Les
lio and Marion took the "long path" that
our Autocrat tells of the path Hint it
takes a lifetuno to follow to the end.
Certain it is that boon passed before
Leslie readied homo, and it was not long
before tho columns of The Gotham Chit
Chat published n a social happening tlie
engagement of Miss Leslie Filinglinni to
Mr. llarion Deverenx.
When, Whera and bow Walter and I
arrived at a lite understanding murt ever
remain between ourselves, buffico it to
say that this eonchwioo was not reached
until Walter had acknowledged that tbe
-asking mo to exercLe.Pet Marjcrio was
a mere devicef that ever since class day
he had wiahed to sncot mo again, and
that k bad only deferred speaking so
long from tbe fear of kadng the happi
neas of seeing me every day.
Leslie's ring was a sspphire set in a
gold four leaved clover, and mine a soli
taire set in the earn way. We had a
double wedding, which many still re
member, but by those fat the secret it wes
always calird "The quatrrfoil weddioj." j

Tlie Dutch wear "heavy wooden shoes,
which render their gait laborious and Un
graceful. A number of Dutch belles of
tbo lower class drag theso heavy wooden
shoes along with thorn, Tho children
seem to bo able to manage their woodou
shoes much cosier than grown people.
When a dozen or more litUe urchins in
dulge in a romp in tlie street they set up
a clatter which can bo heard for blocks.
Tlie mother who wishes to find her
naughty child, who has left its task for
street play, doco not at first uso her eyes
in tho search for tho juvenilo delinquent.
She quietly sticks' ono of her ears put of
the window, and when Bhe hears a loud
clatter which suggests the tearing down
of houses in the neighborhood she rushes
toward tho sound, guided by her ears.
When, nt length, breaking forth threat
onings and slaughter, she leads home her
shrieking offspring, tho cries of tho latter
are drowned by the music of hia com
panions' footfulls. '
The great ndvontago of the wooden
shoo Is its staging powers, Every quo
does not require a new pair of wooden
shoes in his or her lifetime. When tho
honest citizen is informed by the bloom
ing daughter that she would liko to havo
a'nowpairof wooden shoes he. frowns
and says, "My child, what is the matter
with that pretty ptlr which :your grand
mother received as her wedding gift?
They era still neat, although not gaudy.
You must remember that times aro hard
nnd that family expenses must bo kept
down." Tlie common people seem to
understand how to live cheaply. Many
of the laboring men earn but two
shillings a day, nnd yet manago to sup
port families, and lay np enough money
to givo a decent buriul to those members

In tho town of Clymer, Chautauqua
county, N. Y., is a largo Boltlcmcnt of
HoUandon, tho older members of which
brought from their fatherland tho eimplo
niatuiors and industrious habits which
have always been characteristic cf that
race. Nearly without exception they are
engaged hi geueral faraf ngand dairying,
and to supplement their farm labors they
havo introduced an industry which is
carried on in no other plnce in the Union.
That fa tho making of the wooden shoes
or clogs which are so common !nlIollaud
and 6oino other foreign countries. Dur
ing the coldest days end tho long winter
evenings these Hollanders ply their knives
and "shaves" almost without cessation.
Tho business is really n monopoly, nnd of
lata it has proved very profitable, the do
mand for the clumsy shoes for decorative
purposes not only enhancing their value,
which tho shrewd Dutchmen were tittick
to see, but increasing the number called
for very materially. Tlie woods used ore
bass wood and cucumber. Each shoe ia
bored and cut from a single block. They
bocomu eo well seasoned that a pair made
in mo ucst manner is almost inUestrua
tiblo. Tho bulk of these shoes is handled
by a dealer in Corry, Pa., and a largo
number r.rc sent to the Philadelphia mar
ket. It also requires a great many to

Tanauta Toleration of Dirt.
, Tho tenant's toleration of dirt fa not
owing to innate total depravity. It is
owing to environment, circumstance,'
heredity, Tito love cf cleanliness and tlio
toleration of dirt are aliko on. inertia.
Tho Englislunan's affection for his tub"
ia a pure matter of habit; tho poor
tenant's afTcctiou for dirt Is also a matter
of habit. Let a neat woman who has
seen better days bo compelled by poverty
to live in n tenement where sho must r
down thre-j fliglita of r.tam fur-evwy it?l
without a fire in her own ttovc; let her
discover at tho end f a hard day a work
tliat her floor imd her children nce!i

down stairs for tlio water and build up
tho rre, though it bo August and e!to
must sit end sleep in tlie room so heated.
Tho second v-k clo will mean to go,
but will be too tired. Tlio third week, it
will not occur to her to go. Iltr chil

. Demon of tba Wood. '
' From tho Tyrol, from Switzerland,
frem Germany or from Brittany, coma
well ascertained accounts of the popular
belief in certain wild spirits of tlie wood,
who aro painted in all the most frightful
shapes tho wiagtnation can suggest, ana
are characterized by their delight in every
possible form of malevolence. They kid
nap and dovour children, bewitch the
eatf la and lend men to lose tneir way in
tl.o forest. ' Tuoy can assume any sizo,
from the diminutive to tho most gigantic;
nor is any form of bird or beast an im
possible personation of them, The Skong-
man, tho forest spirit of Sweden, is lAo
a man, but. tall as the highest tree; be
decoys men into the wood, and when
they have- hopelessly lost their way, and
begin to weep for fear, leaves them
with mocking laughter. The conception
is well nigh identical with that found
among tho natives of the forests of Bra
zil, showing with what uniformity simi
lar conditions produce similar effects
upon tho human mind. But tho Russian
spirits' Ljesch (ffom a Polish Word for
wood) aro even more significant; for not
only are the usual diabolical attributories
assigned to them, such as the leading of
men astray or the sending to them of
sickness, but also the conventional dia
bolical features, Thoir bodies are after
tho human pattern, but they havo tho
cars ' and horns of goats, their feet ore
cloven and their fingers end hi claws.
Tho Russian wood spirit is, in fact, tho
devil of mediaeval imagination and noth
ing else, a fact which strongly supports
the inference that it is from tho wood
and from the wing rustling over tho tree
tops that tho idea of the supernatural
agency of devils first took possession of
tho imagination of mankind.
It is in no way inconsistent with this
theory that besides devils of tho forost
there are thoso of tbe air or the water.
Tho conception hi one which would have
met with no barrier to the extension of
ito dominions, and tho devil of tho tree or
forest would from tbe first bo closely
associated . with, if at all distinguibhed
from, tho spirit that moved in the trees
and was powerful enough to overturn
them. In this way tho wild spirits cf tlie
woods would pass insensibly into thoso
spirits of the air which our ancestors
identified with the Wild Huntsman, and
which English peasanti still often hear
when they listen to tie passage of the

zine Squint Eve Are Going.
"It may seem a singular statement to
make," said an optician, "but it is truo
that there is no need of anybody suffering
from strabismus, that it, being squint
eyed. And it is also a fact that cqiu'nt
eyed people are comparatively rare nowa
days, as compared with the time when I
was a boy. You can go a score of blocks
now without meeting one, whereas I re
member that I could not go a street dis-'
tanco to school without encountering
half a dozen crooked eyed children. The
reason is that people have come to tho
conclusion that it can bo cured, and they
tako tho steps to bo cured."
"Is there not some danger of losing
their eyesight in tho operation?"
"Very little; not over ono chance in a

"But ore not tho charges for such op
erations very high?" asked tho reporter.
"At tlio Polychnio and some other in

HOW NORMAN BREAD 'IS MADE.
. Bread, Cheese and Cider Essential ol
French Pennant Hospitality.
. One summer's day we stopped to call
at tho stono farm house of - Monsieur
Duval. Ernestine, the eldest daughter,
was housekeeper in her dead mother's
place, and she it was who brought out the
amber colored cider, the goat's cheese and
tho heavy, hard country bread. 'It is an
essential of French peasant hospitality to
offer these things to tioiion. ' "
Tholoaf shasttfJ:,, froln tho shelf was
one of a half dozen others leaning ogafnsft
the black wall. Theso loaves' resembled
cart wheeb, and, had been baked in six-;
quart milk pans. Ernestine cut the loaf
with a small saw made for the purpose.
Nothing lees than such a saw or a pirate's
cutlass could sever that homely, but '
wholesome pain rassis.
These loaves, wo laww, wcro baked
only once a mouth. . Bread day in a Nor
man peasant family Is liko washing day

it comes at ri&ular periods. Wc judged
that bread day In this cottage was ap-
iroaching from tho fact that only six
oaves remained of. the original thirty, or
thereabouts. . .
After our little lunch, Eraestlno toole
us through the orchard to a picturesque
stone building, where tho brers) was
made. This building had once been park
of an ancient abbey, and amid its ivy
covered ruins wo could still trace flno
sculpture and bits of armorial designs,
but inside there was no trace of ait or
architecture. It was really a Nonunn
hen hor.fio. We caw several pain of sabots
or wooden shoes hanging from tho wall
and looking as if they had' been white-
washed.
In ono corner of the place was a large
space inclosed with boards. This Yraa
empty, but, like tlie sabots, it suggested
whitewash or mortar making. . -
Erncstino told us that .this was tlio
family dough trough. Here, onco a
month, came her father and the hired
man to "set" tho yeast rising. Flour
nnd water were stirred together with tho .
huge wooden spades like snow shovels,
which hung with the sabots upon tho
walL tWbca tho mass, thoroughly beat
en together, had risen and awumcd a
dark leathery consiotency, then came Hiq
tug of war. The two men put tlie sa
bots on outside , their ordinary shoes,
jumped in upon tho dou.rjh and com
menced the kneading. Iho way they
did it was to jump and pranco and flour
ish like opera dancers; to stamp and
kick liko horses, to cxerciso themselves
till tho perspiration streamed oil them
and they had no strength left!
After this process tho dough was put
into tlio pans, and then baked in the
