Andrew Lang in Scribner'a, GrK A Y DAYS AND BLUE It was a long time ago. I was only a little child then, and I 'wondered at the frightened faces of the serv antsthey looked almost white as I came running into the breakfast room that morning. I was very hap py. It was early summer, and al ready -the little buds were put on the big yellow " jasmine vine and would soon he hanging in great clusters, making the air smell like paradise, I thought, and soon the saumming birds' would be fluttering near, looking like the rings that grandmamma used to wear. - There was no one in the room but old Nelson and the young butler, to whom he was j saying: "He done gone way, I tell you. Old miss won't never see him again, she say. She's took to her; bed and I specks she wou't get up no mo." Seeing me, he stepped. y, 'Who's gone away, Uelson, and why has grandmamma gone to bed early in the morning?" I asked im periously. ! "Your Uncle Moultrie, honey. De Yankees is march ing down here pretty, fast." ! ' ' My heart stopped beating at least; I thought so afterward, when I recalled the scene and remembered how faint I felt, and how Nelson caught me and put me on the sofa. Uncle Moultrie gone, my beloved soldier uncle, my devoted slave, my ideal knight and daily companion on horseback, grandmamma in "bed, the Yankees coming I Here were more horrors than I had dreamed of, even when following the hapless Babes in the Woods through their trials, the young Marooners on their peril ous way, or my favorite Betsinda and the changeful fortunes of Prince Giglio. j j "And will they ooine here, Nelson, to Bel Air ? " I gasped. . ' I dunno. Miss Claude-specks they will. They's after horses and jewelry, I hear. " Ie door opened, and Aunt Alioe in her white frock, with pink roses in her belt, came m. She, too, was deathly pale and almost seemed to stagger. . i ' ( . 'Upcle Moultrie has gone, Lady Bird," she said, kissing me,f"and grandmamma j is not coming to breakfast today." j Aunt Alice could scarcely taste u v i.J. j . 7 nrsi xime 1110 1 "uiu hob eaii m y portion of fresh figs, although Nelson had given me twice as many as he knew that I was allowed to have. The days passed with a hideons dread and endless weariness; ; I was only allowed to see grandmamma for a few minutes at a time. Aunt Alice scarcely ever left her, and I was lost without Uncle Moultrie.' I was kept very busy for a time pack ing and repacking a basket with my doll'&most valuable clothes and my most precious treasures. Then I made Nelson's son, the-only one agile enough for my purpose whom I dared trust with my secret, climb the leafiest treo and tie it in the branches quite out of sight, but many times was he obliged to stop cleaning the silver to fetch the bas ket, so that some treasured shell or forgotten toy should be safely hid den within, j So many days passed. At last and . it was almost a relief we heard the distant sound of cannon and saw the scattered troops of men hurrying by. The avenue was soon full of them, many of them hatless, they and their horses panic stricken, rush ing up to get food. All day long we were doling it out to them perhaps their last meal, poor fellows. We soon knew that the battle had gone against us, but where Uncle Moultrie was no one could tell us. Then came the dull tread of feet, and the northern army defiled by with unbroken ranks. The avenue gate was thrown open, and we saw the officers on their fine horses ap proach. Aunt Allie was as white as her gown, only there were no pink roses in her cheeks like those she j?ore In her belt. - She stood on the broad piazza as the offioers rode up, ana stood by her, behind. - Nelson and the house Bervants were gather, edj looking so frightened and trern. bhng. Aunt Alioe was trembling, too, only she stood up so proudly that I tried to look like her and make myself as tall as I could. The officers gave her a salute. She bowed, but as they did not speak she said, just in the same way that Un cle Moultrie always did, "Gentle men, will you alight?" They hesi tated for a moment. Then they' sprang down, and turning to Nelson she said, "Send a boy to hold the horses.' ' . . .L.; The colonel then said that be was sorry to perform a very painful duty, but he knew that Colonel Moultrie had been at home lately, and as he was known to i be in the confidence of the government the house must besearobed. ' Aunt Allie tried to look, brave as she said, "I am glad to feel that we are in the hands of gentlemen." She led the way into the big hall and with a strange kind of smile said.

Ira oowed, hut ' the other, officer I thought.he mnst be the general, he was so handsome, just like Sir Wil- irea looked at Aunt Alice as if be were sorry for her. Aunt Alice' took me with her tc graudmamma's room. : I went in the corner and cried very hard when tne men came in and the orderlies searched the room. They went out very quickly. Then . Aunt Allie went into her room, and throwing Herself on the sofa began to cry, oh, so hard. . But she had to stop very soon, tor Nelson came up to say, inem gentlemen wants to see the lady." They were waiting for us on the piazza as we both, with very red eyes, came.down stairs. The colonel said he was obliged to join his regi ment, which was stationed near by. 'Ihe search had been fruitless, but he must leave his friend, Lieutenant Beekman, in 1 charge of the house. This would serve as a protection, ana he hoped, would not be disagree able to the ladies. Aunt Allie said that Lieutenant Beekman should be made as comfortable as possible un der the circumstanoes, and the oolo nel rode away. Then Lieutenant Beekman begged that she would not inconvenience herself on his ac count and asked permission to go into the library, where he would find occupation and amusement. bo many more days passed. . Aunt Alice scarcely ever came down stairs. because she was with grandmamma nearly always. Sometimes grand mamma made her sing. It made me cry to hear her, but grandmam ma liked sad things, I think, and I supjrose .Lieutenant . Beekman did, too, ; for the always, stood on the piazza tmderv the big' vine, where he could see Aunt Alice playjng the piano or .the guitar, but she scarcely ever saw him near, 'fie used to paoe up. and down the rose garden for hours every day, of ten with a book in his hand, oftener just thinkin and as I looked at him from the big ivy covered window I thought that he seemed like one of my favorite knights, only he never wore armor, but only a beautiful new suit of blue, singing with gold braid and brass buttons.7 r ' Sometimes I would go and walk with him and pick bunches of pale pink rosea for him or handfuls of violets, for he seemed so lonely, and I would tell him, "These' are Aunt Allie's own dear roses that she used to wear always in her belt, but she does not any more, for grandmamma is very ill, you know. " Then I would tell him about my dear Uncle Moultrie, and he would let me ride on his horse, because I told him once that all our horses had been sent to the swamps to hide, and I had no pony to ride any more. One day grandmamma was much worse, and I could not help crying. though I always tried not to let the "enemy" see nio, as Aunt Allie al ways called Lieutenant Beekman. I told . her that he;was a very gentle enemy indeed, but this day he saw me and asked so kindly what was the matter that I told him, and that Nel son had no horse to go for the doc tor, and besides the doctor was off with the army probably, and grand mamma was going to die I was sure, for Aunt Allie was crying so hardJ It was getting dark, but he went to the stable and called to his order ly : ' Saddle Apache at once. I will find some doctor somewhere before I come back." He would not wait. a moment for supper, but galloped yoff very fast i nci oeen long asleep when I was ; waked up by hearing talking in grandmamma's room. I jumped up quickly, for I knewthat I heard Un cle Moultrie's voice and ran into the room. Uncle Moultrie was kneeling by grandmamma's bed. She was smiling like an angel and ' said : 'Goodby, my son. You have risked your life tosee me again. It is the last time. God bless you. : May he have you always in his holy keep ing." : . Uncle Moultrie r was sobbing, though he tried 'not to show it. and said, ?I am safe enough in' my lair, mother, dear, and shall - be off again ; before the young fox makes his rounds tonight; but he came pretty near me once, I can tell you." As he left the room I saw that he was wounded, for he limped badly, but grandmamma did not see this, for she was still smiling, with he eyes closed. Then T heard horses' feet, and scarcely had Uncle Moultrie left the room before Nelson came to say that Lieutenant Beekman had ; come baok with the army doctor. I x did not like the doctor, and I am sure that Lieutenant Beekman did not, for he frowned when the doctor said i I fear that I cannot do much ror you, madam. If I could assure you of your, son's safety, ! would nave more hope of the good effect of my medicine. " . wand mamma smiled in that strange way that all the Moultries do when they wishT to make people sorry for what they have said and answered, "Heave him to the care or one who can protect him." uranamamma to a a tram fii oil night. When I went, into the rosA garden next i morning, Lieutenant Beekman was walking up and down me paxns. jae saw that I ldoked sad, and he asked about grandmamma. i voiu mm now ill she was and how Uncle Moultrie had come to see her; how he had cried when he saw her- that he was Wounded and nnnl.l scarcely walk, but he had come on zoo nearly aii the way ior fear of being seen by the troops whom he had to pass, and that' he had gone back .to his regiment last night just as the doctor came. . ' Lieutenant Beekman looked just as white -as unt Allie. He stag gered to a garden seat and buried hia face in hiahandafor a longtime. Then, taking his wallet out of his pocket, he wrote a feW lines, and muling ma oraeriy said:. Take this to the colonel at Berkeley at onoe When you return, pack my valise. I shall be relieved of. duty tonight. " Then turning to'me he said, "Little friend, I will beg you to say goodby to the ladie3 for me." slowly he gasped, "fop. I have resign ed my commission.", f ' . -I did r not quite understand I longed to gp ah tell Aunt Alioe, but she had not slept all night and was resting novf. , I thought perhaps she would be glad if the "enemy" went away, but I. was not, and I cried a Jittle because ' Lieutenant Beekman looked so sad. ' . v . . Thaipighwhile I was trying to i go to sleep but it is very hard to go to , sleep when you are sure that 'Aunt Allie is all alone and something is always going to happen I heard talking in the yard. I ran to the" window. The moon .,was shining very brightly. v I saw four men on horseback." After talking for awhile two rode slowly down , the avenue, and as they passed the house one looked upjvand I saw that" it was Lieutenant Beekman. The next -day when I went down stairs into the breakfast room a big man with a red face was there. He scolded Nelson and all the servants so much that I never went down to dine again, but ate up stairs by my self. He said that they were hiding the wines and would not give him enough. I am sure he drank two bottles every day for dinner, and he was afraid that Nelson would keep some for grandmamma, which I am sure jhe did, and, oh, how I wished the; first enemy would come back. But he did not. And then one dread ful night grandmamma died, and we buried hex in the churchyard, and there Was only Aunt Allie to read the . 'service. ' : -x After a long, long time we heard that the war was over, and our men, what was left of them, came home, and; the big, red - faced man had to leave. Bel Air. He had. drunk near ly all the wine, and I think he was sorry : to go or not to take"what was' left f"'--:'-.;;:1 Then Unole-Moultrie came back. and that was a great joy. But we were all very sad, although we did not show it, for grandmamma was gone, and all the servants nearh and Uncle Moultrie's wound was so bad that he could not i ride, and be sides we had no horse left ' One day we were walking in the rose garden. We heard horses' hoofs, and I called out "Oh, Aunt Allie, it is the old 'enemy' come back!". for there stood Lieutenant Beekman at her side, looking very beseechingly at her, with bis hand stretched out toward ; her, but she turned away. I was so sorry that I cried out: "Oh, Aunt Allie, now I know why he went away ! It was to give Dncle Moultrie time to escape with his wounded leg." She looked at him- I ran to tell Uncle Moultrie, who was standing on the piazza, just as I heard him say, "Yes, but I have won my spurs again." After a while, a long while, they came up the path. both looking so happy. Uncle Moul trie, shaking hands, began to thank' Lieutenant Beekman for his kind ness and courtesy to his "prisoners ol war. Lieutenant Beekman smiled and said, "Colonel Moultrie, may I hope for the same courtesy from you, for yott see I am now the prisoner?"' J. M B. Bollerts in New York Pnsfc Normandy Cider and Cnampaarnaw' Ab a fact,, the finest cider is not mada by the British grower, but in Normandy- They have in that province brought cider making to perfection. The total produce every year there amounts to hundreds of millions of gallons, and it is made with the utmost care. ' To be- .gin, they choose the site of the orchard With judgment - and see that the Roil ia of the type which apples love, and they are equally thoughtful in selecting the varieties of the apple most fit for cider. Indeed, for the very finest cider their solicitude-is so great that none but the second or third year's fruit of the trees is used, and when the process of fer mentation is reached nothinsr is left to chance. Chemists of great experience Watch the changes in the liauor. and the skill with which the process is regu lated is based oh the knowledge cather- ed from long practice. The result is that some Normandy cider is canal in delicacy and flavor to fine champagne, and many cheap champagnes are simply I- - - j . . - -i - ,; Bupmtitocaiea ciaer. ;i; i r (This deception; is very generaL The great bulk of the cider made in Nor mandy goes to the champagne districts and is used to make cheap champagne and to form the body of other wines too. Port, it seems can. be made and often is made of cider; the color being imDart- ed by logwood or red beet juice and the flavor by the addition, in very nice proportions, of the root of the rhatauy. This, it is said, is an imitation so excel lent that the flavor would deceive a crood judge of port. It is quite certain that all the cider made in Normandy does notbyavery large proportion, go on the market as cider, and that it is sold in the guise of cheap wines, both white and red. Certainly than the champasme cider of Normandy there is nothing more delicate and effervescent, unless it be tne same, product of California when at its best Chambers' JourpaL Dr. Johnson avnd Macpherson. Though not the most virulent; Dr. Johnson was certainly the most formi dable of Macphetson 's opponents. ' He threw all hi3 influence into the scale against the poems. He uttered the dic tum that "Gaelic was the rude speech of a barbarous people, who were con tent, as they conceived grossly, to be grossly understood." This argument; it is true, would have carried more weight if the doctor had possessed an elemen tary acquaintance with j the Gaelic Ian-' guage. There seemed" to be. nothing more to be said for the antiquity of the poems when Johnson laid it down that "there was not a Gaelic manuscript in the world 100 years old, and there could be no polished language without writ ing." And besides, whether ancient or modern, whether by Ossian or Macpher son, the poems were worthless. They were mere "bombast and fustian," Its naa cosy lu uwuiuua one B mmr tO write such stuff.
