SATAN'S ENTREMETS.
BY A. F. HIMONH.
On a certuin twenty-fourth of December :
the Father of Evil ant in )uh grout nutty
chair pondering a very important mibjdot.
Thia waa the hill of faro for hi* Chriattnaa
dinner, for tho “old gentleman in lilaek”
hpaaeoooiattd oo imieA in the world of
men that ha haa got Into the lmhit of keep
all their popular feativalx, losing (right--
like a great many lens elever permute —of
their original aignifioaneo.
“I like variety on well as other people,"
mused the devil, “and I would like to
moke one or two changes in my hill of
fare to-morrow. I’m tinsl of tough aider
man and judges and stock-brokers. I’ve
lost my taste for Spanish grandees, and
I've been sickened out with communists.
My Thanksgiving soup wns ntndo of small
snobs, and damned insipid I found it. I
shall have no more of such poor stuff on
my table. They may teeter about un
molested intheir Sphere, for I don't eon
aider ’em worth tho trouble of catching.
I want mm ftno, rich, intellectual mate
rial for mv Christmas dishes. Let me see,
there’s Mrs. Goodhue—quite a fine wo
man, all lifer friends ooruridur |ie& Kim is
still handsome (though she has a grown-up
danghtcr who is not), end really very
clever. She’s accounted wonderfully pious
too. Last week she turned a pretty young
governess ontof her house, atid abandoned
her to possible starvation, because the
poor girl had tho misfortune to attract the
admiration of a young exquisite whom
Mrs. G. hod fixed her eye ou for her own
daughter. She got up a very elever story
against the governess, which the world
believes; but I happen to know the truth
of the mutter. Yes, I must liuve Mrs.
Goodhue for my Christmas soup. Hhe’ll
he too bough if I wait another year, anil
then she may repent her of her hypocrisy.
So that’s settled. My roast, my game and
my desert must be the same os usual; but
I want some new delicacy among my en
tremot*. What shall it be V I might bag
a brace of newsboys, for tkcre’rw prerii
gious spicy; but no, they take so king to
-dean that [shall not liaVe them ready in
time fbr dinner. A few Italian la-ggars
i-oakl'He dressed so as to taste well, for
they have deceit and passion enough in
’em to import a good flavor; but then
they’rotoo plentiful in Now York, and 1
want Komcthing that the city will miss. I
think I'll just skip up to Niblo’s and sec
ri I! can't get a plump young coryphee or
two.”
So he tucked his tail into a pair of tights
hnd fitted on a nobby swallow-tail coat,
cocked his beaver on so rakishly that he
might have passed for Count Johannes
himself, and taking his cake, his opetrn
gfiuts, and bouquet, mndo a spring Hint
brought him up standing just m front, of
the bright entrance to Niblo's Garden.
He entered and established himself in a
private box, whither he was accompanied
by a voting gontlemtui whom ho did not
recollect hnviug mot. before. He wel
comed him kindly, however, for Satan,
who is a good judge of human nature, saw
at a glance that this youth, who was
handsome and clever, would lx* of service
to him.
“Do yon come here often V" naked the
devil, in a commonplace sort of way.
"I’ve been every night for the past
week," responded the other, with a smile.
•‘Fine scenery," observed thedevil, with
a view to drawing him out.
“Yes; but that isn’t what attracts mo,”
amd the youth, ingeniously. “IJ's a now
dun souse. She's as pretty as pink shoes
and as Bhv ns a little violet behind the
mtPßfea, which makes it all the more pi
quant to follow her up. I’ll point heT out
to von when she comes on."
The performance was not particularly
interesting to' Satan, who is rather blase
at Niblo’s; but toward the. close of the first
oet his companion, who had been gazing
wily over the house, suddenly became all
attention to the piece, and presently
touched his shoulder, and pointed to the
stage. Satan looked in the direction in
dicated, started, Btul exclaimed;
"By Jove 1 it’s the governess 1”
His companion did not. seem to hear the
exclamation, he was so absorbed studying
Mm motions of the graceful eHwioitsc \
whose pretty foco sparkled all over with ,
laughter, and her every action indicated ;
the most seaklees joytnesness. But the j
dtivili knew that a sad heart lurked beneath
sll this surface gayety. ami, as he now ob
served the young muu hy his sido more
nwmrwijvhu recognized Clarence Double
day, tho eligible, parti that Mrs. Goodhue
wished to seenro for her daughter.
“I like this," Satan said to himself, and
twisted his false mustache with huge sat
isfaction.
Tbo new dan.seuso. was Tory much ap
plauded and a shower of bouquets fell
arcund' her, which she received with in
difference. When she lft the stage to
eluinge her ilh-.se, the devil followed her,
made himself invisible, and thus got into
the very room where she mails the altera
tions in her costume. -
When she thought, hersilf slime the
smile died out of her eyes and the rieh
odor faded from her cheek. "This one
week has made me feel thirty years older,”
she,said with a weary sigh. “And yet I
cannot feel that. I am committing a Hits be
cause the money which procures comforts
for my poor mother’s chamber of illness
is obtained by my nightly exhibiting my
rayeeSf on the stage. I sought to earn a
livelihood for us noth by following wlmt
is termed a ladylike profession. For no
fa’fit of my own, I was cast out, and we
might have starved hnd not this situation
offered itself to me. I must try and
make the best of it. ”
And so saying she put the finishing
touchea to her toilet, turd hurried out to
play her part in the next act.
“A fine intellect and a noble nature.
She will be a prize well worth winning,”
aaid tbe (h wil to himself, as he returned
to V* b-v.
"Arnica Frank is a charming girl, is she
not ?" asked Mr. Doobleday, when tlicy
were again en tete-a-tete.
“Yu*," responded Satan, “and yon, I
suppose, are in love with her ?"
"I hope to win her," said tho other,
with a light laugh.
“l)o you intend to marry her ?" queried
Hatan, boldly.
“I can’t very well do that, because, von
see, to-morrow I ex|vx;t to marry Rate
Goodhue, a wealthy fright, and, besides,
I always gel tired of the women I admire
soon after having won them."
“Do you feel certuin of winning Arnica
Frank asked Hu tun.
"By no means. She is full of tiresome
scruples, which, I fear, I will Anil it dif
ficult to overcome.”
‘•Now, listen to me,” said Satan. “I
will assist you by every art in my power to
overcome Arnica's scruples on one con
dition. ”
“Name it," said Dorlbleday, eagerly.
“When you are tired of her you must
pass her over to me," said Satan.
"Gladly,” responded Clarence with ani
mation. "Give mo your hand on that, olil
fellow, and well go orit and have a cigar
between this anil the next act.”
“A truly diabolical nature, this,” com
mented Satan, inwardly, "I'm glad I met
him.”
“Now for my instructions," said Clar
ence Doubleday to the devil, tut, arm in
arm, they walked up and down the side
walk la-fore the theatre.
They conversed awhile together, and
Doiihleilny received every diabolical sug
gestion so- intelligently tnat Satan became
more and more interested in him. When
the play was ended, Doubleduy hastened
round to a side door, anil, Satan, making
himself invisible, accompanied him.
Clarence wniii>il until he%erceived a figure
wrapped in a waterproof, and closely
veiled, come ontall alone, then he stepped
forward anil said:
“Good evening, Miss Frank. Will you
allow me the pleasure of seeing you home ?”
"Mr. Doubleday,” Haiti Arnica, with a
little start.
“Yes, Miss Frank,” said Clarence, in a
deferential tone, "you surely will not he
so unkind as to persist in rejecting my
escort ? Do you know that last, night,
although you denied me the privilege of
walking with yon, I followed yon at a
respectful distance all the way to your
lodgings, to see that no one frightened or
otherwise annoyed you ?”
Arnica turned her full, dark eyes on him
with a grateful expression.
"Yon really did that ?" she asked, in
nocently.
“Upon my soul I did. Miss Frank,” lie
replied, and was obliged to turn aside his
face to conceal a smile at his own lie.
They were now wulking along together,
and a short silence followed the lust
speech. Clarence broke it by saying;
“Do yon imagine timt I have been blind
to ull your trials and saerifiees, your noble
resolution and ttncmupbuning endurance—
all that yon have suffered from the Good
hues, and your present heroic conduct ?”
“Rumor says, Mr. Dnnbieilny, that
yon arc engaged to Kate Goodhue," said
Arnica, gravely.
"Then rumor speaks falsely, dearest
Arnica,” Hr said passionately. “Hail I
loved Kate Goodhue, her treatment of
you would have mode' me turn from her.
1 have never entered that house simx) you
left it, and believe mo now when I tell
you that I never can love any woman hut
yourself. Arnica, my soul's brightest
treasure, do not hid me leave you. Think
twice before you east away the lasting
treasure of love I offer Yoltr former
friends will never again receive you, be
cause yon have played at Nilrio’s; but if
all the world forsake you I never will.
My strong arm shall shield you from the
world’s scorn and lilight, and my love will
nourish your heart always. Beautiful
Arnica, suffer me to touch your hand, in
token that you hid me not to despair.”
The desolate girl had already begun to
feel her unprotected situation. Her young
heart involuntarily went out to meet the
sheltering, manly love which she believed
i presented itself to her acceptance; and
Satan could with difficulty suppress a
chuckle when she held out her hand, which
Doubleilny seized and kissed vehemently.
“Good night," she said, in a soft voice,
presently, as they reached her lodging
house.
Clarence Dmilriedny put his arm around
her and clasped her in a very serve em
brace. “Good wight, my own,” he
whispered.
"Not yet, not yet,”' she said, and
struggled herself free, opened the door
with her pass-key, and hurried up to the
third floor, followed by Satan, while
Doubleduy went off to a billiard-saloon.
Arnica entered a small, comfortably-fur
nished apartment, and proceeded at once
to the hedsiife of liur invalid mother, but
uttered an exclamation of alarm at the
change she perceived in tho sick woman's
countenance.
“Kiss mp, Arnica, 11 said Mrs. Frank,
“and listen to what 1 am going to toll yon.
I feel that I have not long to live. Stay,
do not go for the doctor. No physician
ean benefit me now. lam even now
hovering on the borders of eternity, and
with the supernatural vision' of one who
lingers between two worlds, 1 perceive a
great danger threatening you. Tell me
my child, with whom have you been con
versing this evening
A mica blushed crimson, but answered
truthfully, “Clarence Poubh'dav,” then
rapidly related what had passed between
them.
"All that he has professed toward you is
false," said the mother. “I have this day
learned from good authority that to-mor
row he will be married to Kate Goodhue.
Arnica, my child, shun that liar as you
value your own soul !”
Here her voice failed her, the death
spasm contracted her features, and half an
hour later Arnica found herkblf alone, an
orphan in the great, cruel world.
At this juncture Satan left the house,
and went to seek Mr. Poubleday; while
Arnica, after having performed the neces
sary otliees for the doceasi'd, wept herself
to sleep. An hour later she was aroused
by shrieks and a hissing sound of pouring
water, the roar of the multitude in the
street below and the rush of the tire-en
gines. Thick suffocating black smoke
ami red glare were all around her. The
house was in tames, and every other
human soul had. left it. She alone mus
face that hideous death, creeping dragont
like upon her. There was no escape now-
The people in the house bail- forgotten all
about her, and the people in the street
below know not that a forsaken fellow
creature stood, girt by tire, and quivering
in an agony of dread, bo many feet above
them. It would he instant death to at
tempt to leap from the window- "I was use
less to call for help. None cotdd hear her
through all that noise and hubbub, arid,
with alow, despairing cry, she sank upon
her knees.
Suddenly a form appeared in the window
and Arnica skriekod and covered her face
with her bauds as she recognized Clurenre
Doubleday.
“Come'to me and Iwill save, yon," ho
■said, extending his arm. “Give yourself
to me now, and you shall have a long'
lease of life. Quick ! there is not an in- 1
stank to lose. Arnica, dearest, come to life j
and love !”
But the pale gill rose to her feet, and
Satan—who bad been at all the trouble of
setting tho fire, and now atood behind
Clarence as a backer —gnashed his teeth
with fury os he heard her say, in a brave,
commanding tone;
“Leave tne, Clarence Douldeday. I
would rather perish here in these flames
than go with you, false and perjured as
you are. ”
Just then there appeared at another
window the head and shoulders of a stal
wart young fireman, who presently sprang
into the room, seised the fainting girl in
his arms, and We her safely down the
scaling ladder, amid the tempest of cheers
from tne crowd below.
Immediately after Arnica's rescue there
was a resiling sound in Clarence Double
day's cars. Something like a heavy cloak
fell over his head, binding him effectually,
and he was going through the air with the
speed of lightning, quite unable to stop
himself. After n while, however, this vi
olent, involuntary motion ceased, and he
found himself standing upon an open plain
where dim twilight reigned, and la-fore
him stood a terrible form with great glar
ing eyes, horns, anil hoofs, anil a restless
tail that kept switching around incessantly
like an angry bull’s
“See here, Mr. Doubleday;" said the
devil; “I have some puy for my
pains. Arnica Frank is forever lost to me
by that nnuarl ably virtuous 4 t rminatii n
of hers; therefore, you must take her plum
among mv entremets. Yonr intemli and
mother-in-law came down by the same ex
press that you did, and now I most make
haste and get you both ready for din
ner.”
One of the next day’s paper* announced
the sudden death of Mrs. Ooodhne ou
Christmas Eve. In another column was
stated the melancholy fact that young Mr.
Clarence Doubleduy had been killed by a
beam falling on his head in the fire the
night before. Anil Satan smiled as he
read it, smoking a meerschaum after
dinner.
