M 'STORY
OTHER always had insist-
4 M k ed that there was "literary
G A1 O talent” in the family. We
,t ji knew that her mother.
when a young woman and
before the cares of a house
Jiobl absorbed her attention. liad con
tributed to Godov's Lady's Book. As
additional support to her assertions !
that one family was gifted, mother, '
half proud, half ashamed, and blush- ;
ing like a girl, once showed me a j
packet m verses, yellowed and ink- j
laded. |
"Lour fatiicr wrote fhem, ♦ i she wh . !
pored. Then she reverently'tied them
up again. and laid them hack beside !
another packet, which, I guessed, was I
composed of some treasured letters
dating "bofon * we were married.”
Dear mother, what a sacred drawer
that was!
With Sllfll g gen.us * apparent on both
sides of Hu* family, beyond doubt a
spark thereof must still Ii*' slumbering
tiomewliere ready to burst into flame.
N\'hen, on a .Monday morning in tin*
spring vacation. Beatrice, after hover- I
ing irresolutely about me for a short
time, asked me to lend her my pcarl
handled lienholder and my gold pen,
following thi ! S Avith the announcement j
that she was going to write a storv.
I Avas little surprised.
It seemed most natural that the
torch should be confined to B a trice,
for she was the y oungest of the circle,
and Avithal a < l rea my, romantic, but
impetuous school girl. I gave,lier the
pen. and also ilit* use of my desk, and
all the "foolscap” paper she could
tind. .She shut herself in her room.
ami t went down stairs all aglow with
•datiou a lid new-found knowledge, It
was no slight honor to have an author
in one's family.
"Where is T urico?” inquired
motiier; "I want her to go over to .Mrs. j
Jacksons tor me.” j
“I'll go. mother,” I replied, quickly,
4 * I 1 1)ink Bee ought noi to be disturbed,
She's wnting a stor.v. »*
The information had due effect.
Mother's eyes sparkled and she caught
hold of my arm.
“Well, I am glad.” she exclaimed,
'on know I've always said it was a
pity somebody in the family didn't try
it.” Then, in a mysterious whisper:
“What is ii about?
“I don’t know she didn't t<-ll me.” 1
responded.
“Anyway, she musin't be bothered.”
asserted mother. "I'll s e that no one
goes up stairs this morning.”
And 1'ortiiAvifb she established her
self, with her sewing, where she could
command an unobstructed view of the
stairway.
She stayed there most of the time
until dinner, so that by noon the mem
bers ol the household..one by one, had
been instructed and warned, and Avere
in full possession of the faeis—with a
certain admixture of fiction—for moth- }
er s pride slightly prejudiced her.
When Beatrice appeared at linner.
she Avas received with that respectful
deference which naturally is accorded
an author. Vo inie spoke directly re
garding he; work, but tin* atmosphere
was full of thoughts on the subject.
And ay hen Beatrice asked for coffee—
of which she was very loud—mother
poured for her from a rotund little
cart lien ware pot.
"What’s that?” demanded Beatrice.
surprised.
"It s breakfast food, dear.” exclaimed
mother, rather apologetically, ”It is
better for you now, isn’t it? It’s rt e- ]
j ornmended a* a brain food, you know,
i Beatrice accented tin cup and ado
gerly sipped its contents, JIo\v many
times had she voiced her disgust for
what she characterized ••dish-water”
<li inks! But for the present she sub
mitted, and the rest of the family
looked on in solemn approval.
Beatrice remained in her room all tin*
afternoon, while I did errands which
she ought, to have done. Mother-varied
her vigils by divers flitting.* to neigh
I ho;*** houses. By night Beatrice's fame
had spread abroad. Mother had on
: gaged to let people innumerable know
j when the story was published, A few
persons were of the opinion that
Beatrice was writing a book.
At tea lime Beatrice descended
ra titer irritably, Mother, observing
.Ibis c< mdition. kissed her lovingly, and
smoothed her hair, attentions which
had the sigiiili-ance of the “rubbing
down" by which athletes are fitted for
their tasks, We others gazed synipa
ilietieally. We realized that if must
be a great strain to be an author.
In addition to her breakfast food.
Beatrice’s exclusive dishes for tea in
eluded a nicely browned square of
lisii. Fish, of course, it is understood,
is rich in phosphorus. Beatrice, who
dislikes fish, protested feebly; mother
insisted gently. bui~ firmly. Beatrice
yielded to the inevitable and mother
was happy as a child.
That evening, according to mother's
instructions, the couch was left vacant
for Beatrice: and here the young lady
repos.-d in state, pillows solicitously ar
ranged by mother, and the remainder
of the family grouped around at a re
spectful distance.
We sal by the light of a grate tire—
/'<>;• the evening was unusually chilly.
We sat in silence or ehatred aimlessly,
but we were all surcharged with eager
ness to he informed on a certain burn
ing question. Our thoughts must have
r; ached Beatrice, for suddenly she
said, in desperation:
"It's nearly done.”
“It" could only have one meaning.
There was a rustic of interest.
“Dear girl.” murmured mother, strok
ing her hand.
"Winy's ii abor.li" iiazarued lather,
boldly taking the decisive step.
“Oh,” replied Beatrice, s—if.*
about a man who's in love with—with
u woman."
“Yes. yes." cooed mother, hurriedly,
as if fearful lest her protege should
over-exert herself. "And a very good
subject, too. T he dear girl. 1 think
she outfit to go to bed now. It has
been a long, hard dav for her."
Thereupon she bundled Beatrice,
willy-nilly, off to bed.
Lor breakfast our "writer” was
given, under mother's direction, a heap
ing saucer of a certain cereal food
widely advertised for brain workers,
and as a remedy for nervous nrostra-
1 ration. I never had known Beatrice
to eat any such preparation, but what
she had been taking seemed to have
robbed her of her spirit. At any rate,
she sullenly drank and ate a.s pro
bribed, ami tied to her room.
A: noon she again limited (o the
training table,” as we began to term
it. i never had seen mother so tickled,
1 believe she was assured that already
Beatrice's brain was visibly enlarged.
All day it was: "diaries, don't go
iqi stairs! You will disturb Beatrice."
"Helen, be quiet. Don't you know
Beatrice is writing?” "I’ll get your
jacket for you, Will. You might an
noy Beatrice." Even tin- doorbell was
muffled.
At tea Beatrice briefly announced:
“I'll read it to you to-night.”
‘'It's done, then?” inquired mother,
in an awe-tfieken voice.
Beatrice nodded.
She did read it to us. and quite en
tertaining we found it, dealing, just as
she had explained ii, Avifii a man who
was “in love with a woman;” and the
harrowing things they endured before
they finally Avere united.
Whet a world of tenderne-s and
pride Avas in that kiss with Avhich
mother commended the author, at the
end.
The reading Avas followed by a dis
cussion as to the periodical to be fav
ored with this production.
At length tiie lucky publisher was
selected, and in the morning, early, the
story was mailed.
"I wonder if they'll illustrate it?” 1
remarked.
“Of course!” said mother, quick as a
flash, witheringly.
Now ensued a lime of suspense. We
figured that it would take two days
for the manuscript to reach its des
tination. and that we ought to bear
from it in about a Aveek. Possibly a
few days more than that would lm nec
essary, in order to give the editors
plenty of iime for deciding on the
proper remunei at ion.
On the third day the tension in the
house had become almost unendurable.
Even father Avas fidgety. Outwardly,
at least. Beatrice was ihe calmest of
all. I caught mother pouring over an
old copy of The magazine. She
sliame-fa cedly explained that she
wanted to see "what other people”
wrote for if.
The next morning when I was in my
room mother entered, anti with great
care to close the door tight, stood look
ing at me. sorrowfully. Her right
hand was behind her. She was so
white that she frightened me.
tt What’s the matter?” 1 demanded.

Poor Bee!”
"You don't mean-?” I stammered,
the shocking import of her words rusii

"I do, I do!” she cried, with a little
wail. "It's—it's been sent back!” And
she held toward me a bulky envelope,
Her lower lip curved out like that
of a grieved child—so pitiable when
contrasted with her wrinkled, ohl face.
"But Bee doesn't seem to mind.” I re
monstrated. comfortingly, still hearing
the blithe singing.

mother. “But—but it's such, a nice

And here, with a sob. mother actually
threw herself on iuv bed and wept hit

MANY USES OF BAMBOO.

The word immboo sn. . ' ests to most
Americans a faithful fishing rod n» a
daiity fan. says the National Geograph
ie Magazine. To Hi: •lapfincsc rind
Chinese 1 , who arc the most practical
agriculturists; in the world, it is as in
dispensable as llie white pine to the
American farmer. They are 11 oi only
dependent upon it for much of their I
building maleylal. hut make their
ropes, mat.-, kitchen ntonsils and in
numerable other articles out of it.
There are many varieties of the
bamboo plant, from the species which :
is woven into mats to the tall haiu I too
tree which the Chinaman uses for the
mast of his large boat. One variety
is cultivated as a vegetable, and the
young shoots eaten like asparagus, or
they may be salted, pickled or pre
son ed.
T he rapidity of growth of the bam
boo is perhaps its most wonderful
charaei eristic, There are actua re
cords of a bamboo growing three feet !
in a single day. or at the rate of one
a ad a half inches an hour.
Varieties of bamboo are found every,
where in Japan, even wiu»r there are
heavy falls of snow in winter. It is
a popular misconception that bamboos
grow only in the tropics. Japan is a
land of bamboos, and yet where these
plants grow it is not so warm in winter :
as it. is in California. Some of these : 1
varieties could be grown commercially
in the United States.
