City "Really, Kate® you have succeded very well. _ Where my daughters are all so truly accomplished I dare not draw comparision, but 1 must say to you that I consider your education perfect." And thus speaking, Mrs. Lanark, a lady of fiveâ€"andâ€"fiorty, and the mother of three grown up daughters lay back in her easy chair and gently waved her fan. Kate, the youngest of the three daughâ€" ters, had just risen from the pianoforte, where she had been showing her parents how much she had improved upon her last course, She was nincteen years of age,and her form was of the pure female typeâ€"not robust, nor yet fairyâ€"like, but after the models which the old Greeks used to adopt when they wished to sculpture an Ariadne I or an Euphrosyne, ‘Pouching her faceâ€"it I was ectiainly & goodâ€"looking face? To call | such a face pretty would sound tame anid flat. Mrs. Lanark thought Isabel and Bertha both prettier than Kate, but Mr. Lanark was of a different opinion. â€" However upon one point there was no dispute. ‘The Judgo would often say : "Well, my little Kate looks good, anyâ€" how," and nobody ever disputed him. Isabel and Bertha were tho: other two, twontyâ€"one and tweentyâ€"three. â€" They had wraduatedat a very fashionc ble school and were deemed very highly accomplished ; and moreover they were called beautiâ€" ful. t Judge Lanark was the father of these girls. â€" He was a man of :2eans, though not of large weaith. _ He had been a suceesfal lawyer, and was now upon the Bench ; his social psiim was of the highestâ€"Govâ€" ernors had been among his clients,and Senâ€" ators looked to him for eonncil and assistâ€" ance. The Judge Had reared two sons and had sent them forth to active, useful life ; but his danghters he had left to his wife, do not play as well as your sisters, but it will come to you by practice. I think I may say that your necessary list of accomâ€" plishments is full." "Not quite." said Kate, with a nod and a smile. â€" "There is one more accomplishâ€" ment which I am determined to add to my list. â€" Tlonged for it many times when I was at school, and I am led to long for it at many of the places I asii foreed to visit. I must learn to cook." "To what !" exclaimed Mrs. Lanark. ©To cook 2" ethoed Isabel and Bertha in concert. "Ofeourse," Mrs Lanark continued, after Kate had taken a seat near her father;" you "Ay;" addéd Kate. "I shall not conâ€" sider my womanly accomplishments comâ€" ‘ plete until I can, with my own hands, make & loaf of wheaten bread fit to be set btfore father." The Judge caught Kate by the hand and cried : "Good !" Isabel and Bertha smiled detisively. Their looks implied that they considered the thing ridieulous. Mrs. Lanark looked up in surprise and deprecation. _ It seemed a reflection ol het educational care for her daughters. Kate saw the look and she speedily adâ€" ed : "I do not mean a loaf of such soggy stuff as some of our friends make of cream of tartar and saleratusâ€"nor yeb a loaf of the putty stuff that comes to us from the baker‘sâ€"but I mean a loaf of such bread as my mother used to make when I was a little child." Mrs. Lanark was mcllified but not conâ€" vorted. "Ahb, Kate, times have changed sinee I was young." "For the worse," muttered the Judge. But his wife did not notice him. She went on i "You had better leave the making of bread to the help in the kitchen. _ If ever you have a home of your own I trust you will have enough else to occupy your time without doing the work of your servants." "If ever I have a home of my own," said Kate with mild decision, "I am deterâ€" mined that I will be able to superintend every part of it. _ My servant shall not be my mistross, . No servant employed in my household shall be. able to ‘leok down‘ upon me, _ 1 shall not be the slave or the victim of my eook." "Good," cried the Judge again. "Go at it Kate, and I will furnish the material, Waste a dozen barrels of flouy if necessary â€"ouly bring me a grand good loaf of your own making. and baking in the end." Mrs. Lonark still thought it foolish ; and Isabel and Bertha characterized it as very childish and ~whimsical, _ They fancied that it smacked of the nursery and the play room. y But Kate was in earnest ; and as her father backed her up she carried the day, and gained the freedom of the kitchen, where the servauts soon came to love and respect her. The following winter Isabel and Bertha spent in the city. . Kate remained at home becaiuse her mother ceuld not well spare them a‘l. Duaring their yisit to the great metropolis the elder sistors made many friends and formed very plesant associations. Among others they met with Roland Archworth. a young banker, whose father had hbeen Juodge Lanark‘s classmate and chum in college. In their letieys home they inâ€" formed their father or the fact, and the Judge, remembering the elder Archworth with treasured love and esteem, and know» ing the son to be the occupant of an °x: FIT TO BE A WIFE,. DURHAM, Co. Grey, MARCKH 13, 1879 And thus it happeredtliit when the sumâ€" mer came, Ronald Archworth came up to the Lanark‘s pleasant home. He was a young man of fivreâ€"and twenty, and was, to nse the expression of one who knew him well, "every inch a man." He had inâ€" herited a forttne from his father, and he was now a partner in the house which his father had founded. There was no specuâ€" lation in the business which he followed, with a banking capital fully equal to the greatest possible emergeney, and its wealth was constantly increasing. alted position in societ# invited the young mith to visit him at his bountry home, Is it a wonder that Mr, Lanmk‘s heart fluttered when the prospect dawned upon her that possibly the young banker might seck one of her daughters for a wife? She cared not whether he chose Isabel or Bertha. They were both accomplished and either would make a good mate for lim. And we do not do the Judge injustice when we say that even he allowed himsel{ to hope that the son of his old classmate might find in his heart to love one of the gitls. He studied the youth‘s charaster well, aildt he believed it to lbe one of the purcest and boest. â€" And Iaabel and Bertha, Of course there wWwas vivahy botween them. _ But they agrecd that they would abide the issue. If Isabel was selected to preside over the youthful millionaire, Bertha would not complain ; and should Bertha prove the fortunato one, Isabel was prepared to yield. One thing happoned very timfortunately. On the very day of Archworth‘s arrival, the cook was taker. sick. What was to be l]\)n(‘l ? "Never min 1," said Kate, with a smile ; "I will take the reins until the cook gets #ell:" "But for morey‘s sake," implored Isabel, "dou‘t let Mr. Atchworth know it ! He belongs to a sphere ~which wouldl be sliocked by such gross impropriety. He would look itpon us as belonging to tha canaille." But there was no help for it, and Kate wount into the latehen and took command ot the forées in that quarter. "Will you have some of this eake, Mr. Archworth ?" asked Mrs. Lanark, lifting the silver basket of frosted niceties. "No," replied the visitor, with a smile. "If you‘ will allow ‘me to exercise my own whim you will please me. This plain bread is a luxury such as F d5 riot often meet: If takes me Pack to say boyhood‘s days. I have not eaten such since I ate the bread my own mother madé. If ever I keep hofse for myselfI think I shalt ask you to send me your cook." For the life of them they could not help the betrayal of emotion. Poor Kate, who sat exactly opposite the spoaker, binushed until it seemed as though aH the blood in her body was rushing into her face; while Isabel and Bertha trembled as they might have trembled upon the verge of a frightful precipice. The Judge laughed mitright. *Â¥oun get our dook hito your hogse, and you‘d find you‘d got a Tartar, my boy," he said. And then, to turn the subject, he added : ( "I remerber your mother very well, Roland, and have eaten her bread." And thus the conversation softened down into the poetry of other days, Touching Roland‘s associations with Lanark‘s daughters, he seemed to enjoy the society of them all, If he seemed more eager to talk to one than to another it was with Kate ; not, perhaps, because he found her more attractive, but becauso she kept herself hidden away from him so much,. During the brief interviews that had been permitted he had found her highly accomplished ; but he thought he detected an underâ€"current of plain, pm.oticul comâ€" mon sense which had not appeared in the others. Aud onee, when he had been speaking of his mother, he had noticed Kate‘s oye grow moist with eympathetic light, while her sisters only smiled in their sweet, pleasant way. â€" He fansied that through the gatherâ€" ing moisture of those deep blue eyes he had looked down into a warm and tender heart â€"a heart true and reliable. * One bright morning Roland Archworth arose with the gun, and walked out futo the garden. â€" Byâ€"andâ€"by he came round by the porch, and entered the kitchen and asked for a driuk of milkâ€"for he had seen the gardenerjust bringing a brimming pail from the stable. He went in and saw Kate Lanark at the moulding board, her white arms bare to the shoulders, kneading a snowy pile of dough. She did not see bim at first, and he had a motent for thoughtâ€"and in that moment the truth flashed upon hin. â€" Here was the cook he had declared he would have in his own house if he could ‘get her. And hs eould now understand the blushing of the maiden, and the laughing rejoinder of the Judge. . Aud he remembered now of havyâ€" ing overheard Mrs. Langrk speaking with s member of her family aboyg the sickness of her gookâ€"how unfortunate it was, and With a clear sense and quick comprehenâ€" sion, aided by keen powers of analysis and roason, Roland, read the whole story. . He had coni¢ too far to retreat, and he pushed boldly on. i "Al, good morning, Miss Lanark. Parâ€" don my intrusion, Jut I saw the ‘milk pail gome in, and‘I could not resist the temptâ€" TORONTO ation. Oh, the old, old days ! I shal nevor forget their joys, and I trust I may never outlive them.. It was botltood‘s deâ€" light to take from my mother‘s hand the cup watm from the new milking. This‘is the first opportunity that has presented itâ€" gelf for long, long years. 1 could not let it shp. â€" You will pardon me, I know." At first Kate had been startled terribly ; but when she met the supplicant‘s warm and radiant look, and the music of the old home love fell upon her ear, and when she say, as by instinet, that the whole scone was plcasant to him, she felt her heart bound with gleeful assurance ; and, touchâ€" ing the flakes of dough from her arms, she went and filled a bow! with new milk and brought it to him. "I trust," she said, with a beaming smile, "that the dust of toil upon my hands will not render the offering, less accepâ€" table." No matter what Ronald: said, He said | g27 pe paid.â€" something, and then drauk the milk.

"My dear boy," said he, "between you and me there need be no beating about the biish. _1 tell you fraukly, I should be both proud and happy to welcome you as imny son. Which of the two is it 2" "Of the two?" repeated Ronald, curiâ€" ously. "Aye. â€" Is it Isabel or Bertha 2" "Neither,sir. It is Kate I want." "Kate !" cried the old man, in blank rnstomshment. But quickly a glad light danced in his eyes. "But, my dear boy, how did you manage to find my pearlâ€"my ruby among the houschold jewels 2 Where and when have you discovered the priccless worth of that sweet child ?" "I discovered it in the kitchen, Judge. I fell truly and irrevocably in love with her when I found her with her white arms bare, making bread. It is your little Kate I want." "Yes, Judge. Your Kate is the woman I want for my wife, if I can win her." Ronald went away, and half an hour af.orward the supernal light that danced in his eyes told the story of success, "God bless you, my boy! Go and win het if you can. And be sure if you gain ho? gou will gain a treasure." _ Aud Kate, when closcly questioned, conâ€" fessed thit the first flame of real love which glowed in her bosom for Roland Archworth was Eindled by the deep and true clements of manhood which he had displayed on that carly morning in the kitchen. Of course Mrs. Lanark was willing, alâ€" though somewhat surprised at the young man‘s choiee. Isabel and Bertha were disappointed ; btit since at best only one of them could have won the prize, they concladed on the whole that it was as well as it was. They loved their sister, and were really glad that they were thus enabled to claim the wealthy banker for their brotherâ€"inâ€" law. As for Rorald and Kate, their happiness was complete; aifd all the accomplishments which his wife posséssts; the husband is chicfly proud of that which enablos Jrer to be in deed, as well as in namso, the mistress of his home.
