To get beyond a backlog fire.

Against the rare old backlog fire.

And oil 6toves make not rueful mates.
But when I tune my arolden lyre
I'll sing about the backlog fixe.

They favor not the meek attire
That best befits a backlog fire.

And dainty cigarettes to boot
Are apt to wear an aspect dire
If served beside a backlog fire.
Bnt if a tale you like to hear.
Crack nuts, eat apples, make good cheer.
Then have the crown of all desire
A blazing, roaring backlog fire.

HER COMPLEXION.
Mrs. Redmayne was decidedly pretty.
She dressed well and was very careful
in wearing only the colors that suited j
her. She was a fragilo, delicate lookkig 1
little woman and affected half lights, j
lilre u, r.Tt fern; the strong sunlight with J
its iierce glarw did not euit her. Her
lilt!-' drr-wir-; room "my little nest,"
ar si:"1 used to v-;!l it wan shaded by
heavy iaca c .rtiin : st;.ined glass, Jap-ant-
r.cive;..s i.rA a thousand aud ore
ptvtty thing?, fech inteitjsting and beau
tii'ai i-i it way. were t-.-.innned h o it;
but not one oi the pretty t . :'1es was half
fo ir-.teroscing and btautiful as pretty
littlo Mrs. ItedtuHyne horr-f-If.
fcav was r- patr.L-tic creature, too. dou
bly fajcirl::-,-. do.'.bly dr.ngerouo, when
narrati.ti,' the tro'iblcs and trials she had
esperieTiced cor Lug Lev miirriad life, and
with her troubles and trials she was ac
ciistciried to entertain her numerous
aJorers in tho drawing room of her littlo
bijon residence in Blank street, Marfan-.
Tnere was something almost intoxicat
ing in the heavy odor of sandalwood
and potpourri mixed which pervaded
tho Ki'Hrtnent.
lirs. Ked'.i.ayne herself, like most emi
nent consulting physicians, never re
ceived inore than one patient at a time.
Her visitors were all men not that there
was anything shady about Mrs. Red
mayne. but she did not encourage lady
callers. She invited a few female in
timates to dinner, but she took very
good care that those ladies whom she
distinguished by her friendship should be
good talkers a.nd at all events plain
enough to act as foils.
The real fact i3 that Mrs. R.edmayne
had married the justice because he was
reputed to be a very wealthy man, and
Cissy Redmayne herself, as a girl, had
known all t'.rfc real bitterness of poverty,
being a poor curate's daughter. Justice
Redmayne's income was verj large wdien
he married the pauper curate's only child.
Though he was CO, and an experienced
man of the world, it was purely a love
match on his side. Till she was 17 Miss
Cissy had dreamed of pretty frocks and
a pretty house, of good living, of an end
less succession of balls and entertain
ments and of the public recognition of
her own beauty.
In marrying Justice Redmayne she
secured all these things and escaped
from cold mutton and penury. But the
justice, though he fondly loved his pock
et Venus of a wife, loved old port wdne
still better, and after 10 years of hap
piness the justice fell a victim to his
favorite poison and left Cissy o,000 in
hard cash and the freehold of the little
house in Mayfair. And then Mrs. Red
inayne made the following simple calcu
lation, "I can live at the rate of 3,000
a year for three years, somebody worth
having will marry me in that time, and
if I fail to find the somebody I must
throw up the game and go back to papa
and cold mutton."
From this it wdll be seen that pretty
Mrs. Redmayne was a practical minded
little woman. She had been quite right.
Several somebodies and a good many no
bodies had paid her a great deal of at
tention, but not one of the somebodies
got half bo much encouragement as
Lieutenant and Captain Strongitheann
of her majesty's Carpet Warriors. To be
a Carpet Warrior nowadays needs a con
siderable deal of money, blood or inter
est: Jack Strongitheann had money and
interest too.
Se was a fool, but the mere fact of his
being a fool by no means disqualified
him for the Carpet Warriors. They have
their own special club, where they drink
magnums of costly dark and peculiarly
dry champagne for lunch; they plcy
whist there on an afternoon nnd bac
carat, nap and inarmora until the small
hours of the morning, and a goeu d -aJ of
money changes bands. As a rule, suve
for the wealthy, three years as a Carpet
Warrior is ecldcni exceeded a man
either marries, exchanges into a cheaper
regiiaent or bursts un. It is a short life
I and a merry one, and it is a very great
privilege indeed to be a Carpet Warrior
at alb
Now, Lieutenant and Captain Strongi
theann, being wealthy, was quite a vet
eran among the Warriors; he had been 10
years in the regiment, and he was de
servedly looked up to by his brother of
ficers as a connoisseur and judge of
beauty. He was very critical and terri
bly hard to please. He it was who had
blasted the chances of Lady Dorothy
Fitz-TJrse when he gave her the nick
name of "Dolly the Dairymaid" and
likened her lovely pink and white com
plexion to strawberries and cream.
Many had been the nets laid by wily
mothers for that too wary bird. Captain
Strongitheann, but no one, till he met
Mrs. Redmayne, had succeeded in put
ting salt upon bis tail Bat Strongithe
ann was very far gone indeed upon the
tridow.
Twice during the justice's lifetime had
he solemnly entreated her to fly with
him. On the first occasion she had sim
ply replied, "If you wero not so terribly
tall, I'd box your ears." The second time
he had been shown the door and Justice
Redmayne's wife had cut him for a
whole month. Nothing increases a man's
affection like a real good snubbing, and
Captain Strongithearm, now she was a
widow, not only fervently loved Mrs.
Redmayne ho actually reverenced her.
He assiduously paid her court. He was
never tired of dancing attendance upon
the little widow, and he praised her till
his brother officers were sick of her very
name. And now he was her accepted
lover, and although their marriage was
not announced it was tacitly understood.
utjHDwrm nau out one tailing; ne ,
- il i . m m
bujoitea morning, noon ana mgnu it
was a real grievance to him that the
queen's regulations did not aJWt jo4
cjiiujto uu pnraue. now, ivirs. wiirnryne
hated tobacco, and ever since his court
ship Strongitheann had become a non
smoker for her dear sake. It was a se
vere penance to him, but he bore it like
a man; he suffered iu silence and never
complained.
But one fatal afternoon Strongitheann
was tempted and Strongithearm fell. A
very exalted personage, indeed, was ac
customed occasionally to drop into the
Warriors' club. Once inside its exclusive
walls tho exalted personage used to un
bend and beeome very much like an or
dinary mortal. His proceedings were
always exactly the same. He would take
up his position in front of the fire or at
the wdndow, according to the peaf.cn of
the year, order a brandy and sod p., pull
out his cigar cae and polite ly offer a
cigar to one of the W?rriors, and then
'for the next half hour the distinguished
personage was but an ordinary i:'.:iiiVr
of tho club. Bnt there is an etiquette
even in little things.
No one had cv.-r been known to refuse
to sir.ohe the ofrtrod regain it was a
1 ind cf royal command which couLd not
te disobeyed and so it happened that
Strongithearm, who had been innfccntly
fitting at the window waiving for Mrs.
Redmayne's little victoria to pass found
himself the recipient of the royal bounty
in the shape of a very dark looking Ha
vana of exquisite flavor. There was
nothing for it. The captain lighted up
with a smile and a groan, and all the
other Warrior envied him Ids luck, and
then he and the distinguished personage
continued to stare out of the window and
criticise the pissersby.
They had not been three minutes there
when the little victoria flashed past, with
its cockaded coachman and its pair of
fiery chestnuts. The big pink sunshade
was tilted on ono side, and pretty little
Mrs. Redmavne looked up at the win
dow and smiled. Then Strongithearm
blushed to his cars and returned her sa
lute, as did the distinguished personage
at his side.
"I fancy that bow was meant for you.
You're a lucky fellow. Captain Strongi
thearm. Ahem! Who is she?"
Strongitheann would have liked to be
to him. but that unfortunately is con
trary to etiquette. "Widow of Justice
Redmayne," he replied. "At least I be
lieve so."
"Seemed to know one of us at all
events," said the distinguished person
age. "Splendid complexion. Wonder if
it L5 her own?"
"Oh, it's perfectly genuine," blurted
out Strongithearm, and then he felt that
he had tuade an ass of himself.
The president of the Warriors' clnb(he
was likewise the titular colonel of the
regiment) looked annoyed. He did not
sav anvthing, however, but went on
calinly fumigating himself and Captain !
Strongithearm. Strongithcrm would
have bolted if he had dared, but the stem,
unwritten law of tyrant custom for
bade it.
"I wonder whether her complexion
would stand the clove test." said the
distinguished personage. "It's a won
derful thing, that clove test," he con
tinued, with the air of one about to im
part a scientific fact. "You know tho
clove test. Captain Strongitheann?"
The distinguished personage, like the
rest of his family, hardly ever forgets a
name.
"Can't say I do, your"
"Not know the clove test? I've known
it ever since I was a boy!" burst in the
other. "It's an invaluable thing to know
an infalbble test. You get a clove,
you know, and you've only got to get
near enough to the suspected check and
that's uot generally so very difficult, by
gad! and just to breathe upon it. and
if it's paint it turns black at ono-."
And there was instantly a el. rus of
testiiiony to the truth of the distin
guished personage's assertion from the
Waniors present.
"You don't seem to be getting on with
that weed." continued the Di--anguished
Personage; "try another," and on', came
the hospitable cigar case.
There was nothing for it. "To bear is
to obey" is iu Londou aj solemn a duty
as at the sublime porte. Strongi h earm
accepted the cigar, and this tin - j took
good care not to let it go out. The conver
sation then became general, and the dis
tinguished personage having turned bia
back for an instant. Captain Strongithe
arm seized the opportunity to make his
escape.
And as ho went down the stairs of the
Warriors' club his soul was tortured by
unworthy suspicions. Was it possible
that Cissy Redmayne's complexion was
not her own? "At any rate," thought
the captain to himself, "I'll get some
cloves. ItTl take the beastly smell of tho
smoke away anyhow." And he went intc
the nearest chemists and made his pur
chase. Then he had his hair brushed
at Douglas' and was vaporized with
strong odors, and he bought a squeezer
of "The Exclusive Bouquet" from the
young lady with the ringlets, and then
he jumped into a cab and drove straight
to Mayfair, and in the cab he deodorized
his garments to the bet of his ability
with the pungent perfume and munched
away at his packet of cloves.
The captain was not unexpected. There
was pretty little Mrs. Redmayne in a
very low chair indeed, her little Dresden
tea equipage upon a toy tea table of bam
boo plush nd embroidery. There were

charming. A
would be trying to moet women, but the
tea gown and the old laco with which it
was trimmed suited Cissy Rodmnif
blond beauty, and as he gazel at her i
with a lover's eyes tho cnaruorr-I captain
swore to himself that he had never fn
so pretty a picture as that formrd by
Cissy and her artistic surroun lings. Tl.e
heavy odor of sandalwood sorro.i to act
like an intoxicant to tho gallant ofTicrr,
anl when the little LouLi Quinz kiicw,
with it coral buckle, was innocently pro
truded the captain felt that he was tho
luckiest of men.
1 ou hartlly notice! m. Contain
Strougtthearm," said Mrs. Redmavne,
with a little pout, "when I paasod tho
cxib windows this afternoon I cn
quite understand it. I recognized him
at'efnee.
I could b"o tho ronl takin?
off their hats a hundred yards off. Oh,
Jack, how I envied yon!"
"So did he, I think, when you twwwl," :
he replied, with a smile.
"You're quite a classic Warrior today,
Captain Strongithearm. How yo-; ve
scented yourself! I've ln raiding
'Tho Last Days of Pompeii,' and I know
that they went in for it tremendously in
those days. Yhy, you're 'ptrfnrne-1 like
a milliner,' as Shakespeare or was it
Bacon? says. You needn't ptroko my
hand aa if it were a kitten. 'What a very
curious ierfume. Captain Jack!"
"The fact is, Cisy, that he who rmist
be obeyed always drinks gin p.nd cloves
of an afternoon."
When a Cr.rpct Warrior stoops to a
lie. he prefers t ,. v. a ixd larrre one.
"I like Iran fo.- that." s'..o sa-.d ; "then '3
a touching Lunr.h'.y ul-..t u that I ad
mire." "Yes. and of course wo nil have to do
tho Fame out of tumbh-rs, ycu Lr.-.w.
no heel taps." said Strongitheann, ex
panding "uis he if it were a concertina.
"Now k t's talk about ourselves," he
s:iid affectionately. "Cissy, dear, why
should wo shilly shally any longer"; I'm
not eloquent. Cissy."
"Don't talk of eloqtionce," said Mr?.
Redmayne petulantly. "Tho poor justice
lived by it, nnd I know exactly what uV
worth," and she drew her lace haadt r
( hief across her eyes as a tnbute to th?
memory of the dejvirted.
"I'm a plain man." continued the cap
tain as he expanded his mighty chest.
"You're tho only jx-rson who thinks
60," said Mr.-i. Redmayne. with a bttle
pun of pleased proprietorship.
"Awfully good of you, I'm ruro." tJd
the captain. "You don't help a fello - a

I and the traitor slid his chmr close
hers, keeping tight hold cf her hand all
the time. "I'll whisper it, Cissy," ho
said, and hi3 voice trembled in its ex- '
citement.
The poor little woman turned her
cheek toward him. She thought the
wretch was going to kiss her, and sli"
was nothing loth. Such innocent f.mu- .
liarities are very dear to engaged per
sons. A smilo of anticipatory pleasure
stole over her countenance as she felt hi3
hot breath upon her cheek. And then
she gave a little, scream of terror as he
suddenly dropped her hand with a mili
tary objurgation.
"Ciss- Mrs. Redinayue." he exclaim
ed. "Good heavens," and then he became
eearlet in his indignation. 1
"Captain Strongithearm," said Mrs.
Redmayne severely as sho rose to Iit
feet in mingled astonishment and terror,
von otv-rni not to nave come n"re.

ack," she added excitedlv; "von lm.k
exactly like joor old Redimtyno used to
look when he returned from the monthly
dinners. But Justice Redtnayne drank
port wine, like a gentleman; he didn't
fuddle himself with gin and cloves."
"I haven't been drinking, Mrv. Red
mayne. Farewell, Cissy," he added
tragically; "we shall never meet again,
except in society. Look in your glass,
unhappy woman, and you will learn the
dreadful truth. Farewell forever!" and
seizing his hat he rushed from the room.
Mrs. Redmayne turned in astonish
ment to the minor. What could those
tenable words mean? Alas! one side of
her face wrs covered by a hideous,
smutty looking discoloration. Little
Mrs. Redmayne gave an eldritch scream
and fell fainting iu a heap on the white
bearskin hearth rug.
He never Udd her secret, for Jack
Strongithearm was a gentleman. Pretty
little Mrs. Redmayno had played her
cards and lost the game. Within the
twelvemonth the brokers were in the
little bijou house in Mayfair, and Cissy ,
Rodinayne returned to her papa, tho
curate, and the cold mutton. She does M
a great deal of good in the parish and u
a pretty, sof eyed little woman still, a
trifle palo p -haps, for she never tevks

Hicka' Opinio.
"What a sense of exhilaration a man
must feel wbn he walks into the White
House for the first time after his inaugu
ration and realizes that he is president
of the United States. What do you sup

there?" said Hawley.
"His second terra," replied Hicks.
