fifty years as a single nun wuat did i want of a wife i have- heard that wives arc fond of having their owu way aud o bpcuda great deal of money now i like my own way and to have the use vc my own cash besides a bachelor of any ojjc guod lockingas they say i am rich as i happily find mjsetf after twenty years of mercantile life well- mannered and polite to the fair sex is always much better received in society hau a married man as i said before i had uo desire whatever to change my position hi life i then there was lrs hugh widow of our most respectable porter who was killed by failing down a hatchway who bad kindly consented to become my cook what a coot ahe was she was uot a charming person uor a young woman bat it is at expedient that a bachelors house keeper shall be either of these things she had a high temper also but that only made her a better manager more feared by the under servants and he dared not exercise her temper on me she cooked superbly hat was all i aaked her soups her roasts her entrees were divine her paddings and pastry miracles simply miracles indeed i could not give you a list of the dishes in which ehc excelled she iiod inspirations for desserts for which uo one had ever written a receipt hid it matter to ine then that she was six feet one in height hod a knobby nose and a moustache a very amailqaautity of pepper and salt hair and the voice of a sea captain in a gale ko of course not i was happy i lmd my nppartments elegantly fumiahed j i asked a friendio dinner when i would and he was always well entertained i smoked in my best rooms came home when e pleased and wastj the envy of my married friends pretty girls smiled on me agreeable widows were gracious to me and to mj mind the con sciousness uiat one codd marry any one of cve-and- twenty pleasing women is very much better than actually having one of hem for a wife besides how often had i not heard ilrs rugby declare that she never could put nptfltu ladies for they didnt know good cooking when they tasted it ajjd when they were vexed in the parlor alw4yg came and vented it in the kitchen no a wife was not amongst my catalogiie of the necessaries of life and as mrs kagby knew it we 6hoald have gone on very well together as iongas we both lived no doubt had it not entered my mind to set ap a coach and coachman i had done very well with the livery stable until then but some evil spirit had put it intomyjiead thai an equipage of my owl would be more convenient and nf course my coachman became one of the kitchen cabinet and being a man of taste understood the excellence of my cook at once- he did justice to the good things set before him here can be no doobt of that ana before long he beganfo make love to mrs engby z it had never occurred to me that any mortal man could be so daring but he did it and at last the awfol truth burst upon me mrs rugby having smirked and simpered in a most amazing manner for several days at last announced to me that she intended to change her condition matrimony and krs rugby were so little connected in my mind that my reply to this statement was in whai rtspect its thomas the coachman sir said j sir kagby a quiet respectable party im sure and hes so urgent that im afraid ill be obliged to give you a fort nights waruin for thomas and me both lias savins aud were thinkiugota restaur ant but i must say i grievelo go bciv no comfortable hero qo you cant go mrs rugby taid i im suited with you and with thamaa marry and stay with me ill raise your wages ill do anything only dont go if you please sir as a married person i shouldnt be willing to live at service and our own little restaurant ib a dream that might nil anybodys soul said mrs kagby im kinder romantic sirand i alien hv indulged in beautiful fancies i cant help it at the same time i regret to this tim put her handker chief to her eyes as the walked oat of tbe room i was in despair i flung myself down upon my lounge and tried to think- no woman over cooked ai thlg cook of mine could i must have a man if ihe went an knguah cook night do my meati well but aui for the desserts a punch cook would givu me greasy monet and poitry that would make me billiooa negroes were natural cooka but they hod not what i might call mrs rugbys rrptrtoirt i rang the bell mrs rugby answered it in person strange to soy i am glad you came said i i wanted to apeak to you you cant go you know i cant ipare you rut 1vo promised thomas and i most not break ins heart laid mrs rugby im too sensitive a uater to trifle with any one eles fechua sir i groaned and shut my eyes anything else sir 1 mid mrs kugby i all all starve said 1 ko said mrs rugby you wont relish our vittlcs but youll cat em theres mauyll be glad to do for you again tho vanished this time i did not send for her again 1 sent for thomas thomas i said as he came id wiping us mouth doubtless mrs kugby had made him somo peculiarly exquisite dish m thomas sit down i wal you to listen to me i hear you are going tqrob me of mrs rugby im surprised tbomaa 1 disapprove were both of an age and we aint bond- ed slaves said thomas but think cf me said 1 wc did talk jou over said thomas and one spell we thought of staying along with you but the restaurant seemed better and you dont vant jour wife to hcv other iuterests you know cf you aut jealous then you woul stay said i no sir tliaukcc its a good place said thomas but im an knglishman and i want my home to be my castle i did think of raarrj ing a iiaie chambermaid down the street prittv as a picter and only seventeen but she hadnt saved any thing and mrs rugby lias done wonderful whatr wartf ou the nose and a trifle of fat to that if tbe oiiitr one had her savings why of course but she liasnt how much lias mrs rugby saved i asked he old mc aud i alio fed him lo go he could be bought off pcjfaps butwhalwas mrs rugbys price that evening i rcbolved to discover thomas had gone to see to the horses iheraie the assistant had gone out with her young man i- went down into the kitchen aiid found mr rugby siltipjr be fore tlic raijge with a handkerchief to her khe utttrcd a little scream and said eyes arose hit dawn mrs kagby suid i lit take a chiir what a soup you tnade me today whit a roast what a salad i cannot livt without you think of my misery if you go t do bighed sfrs ruby then stay said you cant expect me to break thomass heart biic said youd lather break mine said i ilj ami your heart as is injured its jour fctoamdj toid mrs rugby ah i know it well they say its the way to a mans heart eid i mrs kugby looked at inc i have cjmc to make you give it up said t this idea of leaving roe can i say the only thiug as you could say you wont said mrs kugby im offered a decent husband and i shant give him op unless im offered a better btit if you wcrv offered a better t e3td id eousiicr it baid mrs kugbj paused i struggled with myself rat unit likely in a fortnight the widow paused i looked at mrx kugby 8he look

a better offer v 1 said i consider you 605ir said mrs rug by x then marif mc aud stay said i poof tfaornasi sighed mrs rugby bat i mast own yoa hev had my affections for years air i had a scene with thomas next morning but he allowed himself to bethought off he married the pretty chambermaid and has started a restaurant as for me i married mrs kugby last week and on the eve of our honeymoon my wife said briskly my dear how about a cook surely you aont need a cook my love said i you wiui your talens li you think im going to cook now i am a lady youre much mistaken replied my wife ive bad
