ahouie- keeper and i always thought her a very senible woman and im sure hed think jast is i do about it about this idea of mine at least i hope so i euppoieshed feel able to oarry on trio housework oh a plaoo like this alone wouldnt she she seems strong and boaltiy as ever ob ye mdthera menage that all right answered itbod a she i often telle mo ehe dont need any of my help sbsi got tlie idea plain enough thought he deacon in great delight as rhoda said that im getting along splendidly shes the rhost sensible girl i ever taw i wonder now roach farther i better ro now ma y bo id better wait jast as id made op my mind to an give her time totalk it ovetvwith her mother before i oome right out with the qnestion i will and it was well that he oeme to tbia deolilon and adhered to it as he oou- gratolated himself afew days later the deacon might have stayed until mrs maaona return bat a yoang girl friend of rhode oame and that put an end to his visit toa can talk with yonr mother and

father heard blm oome in i wouldnt wonder if robs got an idea of aparkingsomebody thoqght the deaoon maybe its like the measleswhen it gets into the family they all have it and ha chuokledto think his son might have caught the disease from him well robs a good boy tnd i hope hell do as well in getting a wifo as i shall if i get rhoda masbn the nextniornldg rob looked very wise aiheiai down to breasf asl opposite to his father ive got a measige for yon he said by- sndby when the housekeeper bad left the room i was over to the mason place andwhealoame away rhoda told me to- tell yoa that if yon wanted to know whety her mother thought about your housekeep ing idea youd better oome over and talk with her about it i was quite surprised to find out- youd got matrimonial ideas in ybor head but i want to say that i think the plan amost sensible one mrs mason woold make yo a tiptop house keeper and if yooll take the mother ill take the daughter indeed ive msde an arrangement to thtt effect rhoda and i oame to a satisfactory understanding last night robs face was quite red when be got through with his speech hat bis fathers waa redder he opened his mouth once or twioe as if trying to say something bat words maid not oome it was well for him tbat the housekeeper name in at this jnootarev rob went out and he betook hfmaolf to bis room to colleot his scattered senses well i deolare i the poor deaoon dropped into the first ehafr be oame to and sat and stared at the bedpost for as moon as half an hoar before he began to get straightened out i begin to understand it he told
