husband and wife opened the library door there sat martha waiting for them agaiuet the wall in a white apron and a radiant amile and something very like tears in her old eyes presbyterian a deadletter office stelexi yamilg waiting a gostly affair the new mis tress of that brand new house on park aenae was tripping down that softly carpeted qaeen anns stsirway to her first breakfdbt in her own borne she had barried down before her new husband bls me wbst spick and-span- neas to sea that everything was in order opening tho door of the breakfastroom first giving a loving dainty tonoh to its shinning array of bridal silver and then hastening on to the library this was the coblett room of sl true there wasnt muoh library abont it yit for all mr winstons books and all of hers could not be made to fll many shelves bat there was her pretty tall escritoire and mr winbtons writing table and tha amuaing- ly uow dictionary pn its jaunty stand and ob there was library enoogb and it was a dear pretty room with a friendly little coal fire glowing oat a warm welcome at g a pannabecker mill street aoton p s all the wants of people in town will receive best attention also her the bride looked smilingly coutent and yet a trifle anxious too else why that pucker between the pretty brows and what was she looking for kb here it is a little silver bell with an imsge of some queer old beathsn idol for a handle she opens the door and tinkle the bell sharply in the hall while her color comes and goes almoit immediately her dommhoappeared having clapped a olean white apron on top of a checked gingham one qf less immacu late obaracter sit down martha says the lady still nervoarly frsnk1 mean mr winston will be down directly and we will have prayers- but martha was nervous too she took her seat on the edge of a ohair that never was meant i think to be sat on and edged this ohair so close to the wall as to endanger seriously the stamped leather paper tben she palled one finger after another nnlil she had cranked all her joints btill mr winston did not appear ill jaft tell you the troth mis wins ton she buret ont at last i dont like this thing of comln to prayers im a flrtt olass cook and i know i can give satisfaction in my meals and fancy breads bnt i havent been brought up religions and i dont take to it why 1 aint seen the inside of a church this five year and for prayers none of my families ever asked it of me before bat would yon have us tike gods good gifts like do nab brutes martha said the new house mistress her voice trembling with tho effort it cost her and give him no thanks ob i aalnt raisin any obtealtans to prayeri answered the cook with the and easy tone of an american born ervant7 fact is i wouldnt think as much of yon ef yoa dldat have em quality folks most ly does bat i fel queer an ukeaflsh ont o water whan x aint in my own kitchen very well said the new mistress a utile hurriedly for she heard frank shot the chamber door np stairs i only ask you to try it for a week after that yon may do as yoa choose good morning martha said the gentleman gaily as be came la well mrs w ia my congregation ready his lone was rather light perhaps bnt the new duty embarrassed him and he took this altogether masculine way of hiding fafs embarrassment when irftty had first proposed setting np a family altar mr winston had demnred laughed at her a little asked why their indlvidoal prayers wouldnt do called her a supers ti tons child but anally yielded to her entreaty that their new borne might be placed under the shadow of tho sweet sanctities belonging to both old homes and having yielded the point he made np bis mind to be graoloas abont it and do the thing in the best possible style that was part of bis nature frank winston never knowiogly made anyone anoom for table though be was a careless fellow on the whole martha for her pari was mnoh impressed with his rich sonorous voioe as be read with fan it less elocution the story of the obild j mo a and still more so by the fervent and far reach log petitions that both tone and worda were conventional habits of mind and speech inherited or acquired by unconscious imitation she oould not possibly know bat there was never a word mora abont her staying away from morning prayers she allowed no domsitio exlgenoy to keep her away and her keen though undeveloped intelligence was aronsed to a lively interest in the reading and prayers whioh was to prove a surprise to both roaster snd mistress ons of the newnesses enjoyed by the yonug wife wae the shining condition of her kltohen coming from the south where the negro cooks held absolute sway in their domains and whera the old pots and pans fasd done service for a lifetime mrs winston bad not imagined that a kitobeo ooom be such a thing of beauty she was always making theexousa of trying a new receipt to spend a morning hoar with martha and martha being esisntislly sociable was well pleased with her company who la tick mis winston she in quired oa one of these ooovilons when aftiioted i wish youd please ask mr frank who jt startling request cue this is my after noon out and i thought i might take him a glass of that ca itfoot jelly its moren yon all ia going to eat fore yonr tired of it and that prayer hae been rnnnln in my head alt day seems as if i wanted to do something for the poor mow myself mrs winston told her husband when ho came home to lunch and they joked over it a utile bat with some constraint your maid takes morning prayerb with uncomfortable literalceaa said the yonng man perhaps it would be better if we did the ssrne ob by tho way there is a siok man in our oongregatlon i stepped ioto mr staarts office to engage half of pew sixtyfour for us the one opposite the window oa know and i had to wait a few minutes while he and a brother deacon consulted about guiug htlp from the church fund to a man named brooke who broke his leg yesterday ob well that will satisfy martha said mrs winbton eugeily i hated her to think to know tout ia yes it would be a pity for ber to know how litilt we think or fuel wht we vay at prayerc agree 1 her huabind hon estly so brooks tbo curjieuter slopped this gap very well mai tha told him that bo was prayed for at her bouse and told mrs winston that she had f 14 him and this time they joked still more faintly about it and tbo gentleman suul lltey had brooks faith on ihtir consciences now brooks wouldnt behove in their prayers uuleas they followed them up by mora tangible help of course the help followed and the connection with the brooks established a eoit of dorooslio mission between tho new honee on park avenue and the rickety tenement ontan neretreetr andoow mr- winston began to have a livelier conscious ness of what be did mean when he came with bis morning petitions to the almighty but oareful as he set himself to be mar- thas next innocent bomb exploded in the heart of his affairs the new house on park avenoe was getting ready for what its master called a blowoat for which sadly slang phrase seemed to mean a large entertainment large tn judge from the days the mistress and maid spent atoning raisins and making up fruit cake martha entered heartily in to the spirit of the occa sion and as she atlaoked the last green eogary lobe she preferred the reqneet that the blinds in tbe baok parlor abooh be left np joat a teeny mite enough for her to see the aasembled company of coarse you shall see the people agreed her mittress gleefully if i have to walk them alt around by the baok window myself 1 specially wants to see mr franks brother and bis wife confessed martha susan parks has been lowing to me that they beat my folks for looks and ive been mowing ihev dont so nowa my ohanoe to get even with susan bnt what was this mrs winstons face flushed an angry color her eyes looked forbidding and the pleasant smile van ished from her lips as if a whirlwind bad caught il mr wiuctjna brother will not be hero martha sho said btiffiy nor his wife they have both befaaved very badly to us and we uever expect to invite them to the house martha dropped the citron and the knife and her bands and her under jaw il looked for a minute as though she meant drop her mistresss acquaintaance from ess of so r prise that came over iter m she shut her eyes and repeated in a ol of mr wi r tonevltprglve ns oar offences o lord7 tbls dayvren as we obeying thy command and following thy blessed example do this day strive to forgive all who may have offended or injured us marlhs opened her eyes when she had finished her quotation and fell upon the citron vecgefoily but nhe opened her lfpe no more that day exoejt in answer to question and when the lilte silver bell rang for prayers the next morning no martha appeared ilr winston waited a few moments and then looked at his wife we will have prayers without martha this morning she said hesitatingly ill see about it another time is ii one of oar practical jokea on ns asked the gentleman but wben enquiry was made the domes tic declined to come to prayers any more ind also declined to rive ber reasons tben mrs winston oonfessed with con siderable trepidation what had passed betwoen them over the kllchen table what if frank should fly idio a rage and order marina off the spot 7 just before the party too 1 mr winston lookeitred enough in tbe face when he beard tbe quotation from himself to have done even snoh a desperate thing as that bnt he tried to meet it in bis old light way see here letty he said weve either got to get rid of this woman or or his voioe suddenly lost its banter and he spoke with great feeling or weve got to set abont living nearer to our prayers 1 a it was the evening of the entertainment at tbe new house qn park avenue mrs winston came shimmering into the kitchen with her pretty white satin gown and slip pers on why not there wasnt a cleaner floor in her bonis martha she said shamefacedly i have left tbe blinds np in tbs back parlor and mr and mrs boss winston have prpmlsed to come early so dont miss seslng them 1 lord bless yon honey 1 said the cook her grnmnesa disappearing like a snow- wreath la april the hired waiters from bossaoks stood around in their high snd- mlghtineso and wondersd what it all meant bat martha knew and the guardian angels of the new home who had come unblddsn to tbs fesil knew and tbe rccon oiled kindred though they bad beard no story then knew bow sweet and pleasant it was beginning to be for brethren to cousin rath was playing waltzes for tbe young folks near her stood john graham one of her old beans he had ltttly come home alter an absence of twenty years john was looking at ruth with apparent oo tbat began to mark ber pale face and noting the atroaks of gray that ran through ber hair it had been so dark snd thick the last time he had seen ill then be gsssed thoughtfully at tbe merry yoa tig dancers and at last feeling that he ought to say something asked who ia that graoeful y uow haired girl that is grace peering cousin toms daughter ruth replied ber bearer exclaimed wonderingly tom deennga daughter i remember him so welll after a paube he added i thought yoa and he would have been married long ago cousin ruth smiled bhook her bead and played on without speaking the list time i saw jou said john musingly you were waltzing with tom himself do you remember it did she recall it twenty years had passed since young jaok graham had bidden her a oold and brief farewell and she amazed and awestruck by his manner had merely said good by and let bnu go yet the memory of that night had never left her i wonder why ruth is playing that otdfaphioned waltz eaid the ildera of tbe pai ty to oneanother and john graham listened spell bound to the wtu remembered strain ah he eald eartdeuly tha tune recall a the past i sent you a hunch of violets that very night and hoped that you wonld wear them oh ruth what h heartless flirt you were i old aa john hsd grown hib eyes wore a familiar expression as they met hers as soon as the young people had tired of dancing coueln ruth went up to her room and looked herself in giving way to strange emotion from th lowest depths of her trunk she took an old bratabonni box that had not been disturbed for twenty years unlocking it ahe hastily raised tbe lid instead of tbe fresh sweet violets she bad left in it there were a few oritp shapeless and withered petslt beneath which for the first time she discovered a bit of paper on whloh were these words onoe for all ruth ie it yes or no if yes wear these violets at the ball tonight i go away tomorrow and if it is no i shall not return j g for a few minutes roth stood motion less clasping the little missive she went downetalrs one it her nephews passing her in the hallway thought how pretty she must bave been when she was a girl her face was sglow with an anosnal beauty she went into the sittingroom where john graham sat alone he wss gazing moodily at the embers of the fire ruth approached and potting the piece of t el lowed paper gently into his hand said calmly i never baw it until this instant he looked at ber in mate astonishment aa ahe was abont to tarn away would you bave worn my flowers bad you found tbe note ho asked harriedly ah rntb is it now too late tbe merry voices in the next room drowned ber answer to all but john graham ho alone heard it the best work pays a wellknown jndga wanted a fence mended and hired a yonng carpenter to do the job saying i want this fenoe mended i will only pay a dollar and a half so use those anplansd boards and do not take the time to make a neat job later tbe jadge foand that the oarpenter had carefully planed and numbered each board and aqppoajngtbetjiewastrying to make a costly job interrupted him with the angry remark why didnt yoa nail those boards on as they were i dont care how the fenoe looks i do n turned the oarpenter snd went on measuring wben the work was done no other pait of the fenoe was as thorough ly finished what do ou expect to charge asked the jude sarcastically a dollar and a half the judge atered why did yoa spend all that labor on the fence if nol fqr tho money mo ono would bave seen the poor work for tbe job sir i should have known that tbe poor work was there he refused anything more than the dollar and a half and went away ten years afterwards the jadge had a ooo tract to give for the erection of several mag nificent bulldinga among the many applicants the face of one caught bis eye 8ald the iudge later it was my roan of tbe fence i knew he would have only good genuine work done i gave him tbe contract and it made a rich man ot him exchange few men original did it serve her right her hat was a regnlar stunner and no mistake it looked bomotbing like a min iature
