Moreover, Martha understand m- like :t lxk, and I doubt if there's her epi:d in all Thorubury f.r chvse-cakes and 1. licioiis i.itilliiis.'' This mention of his handmaid savm- cd to oiler a suggestion to Mr. Coati s, and ringing tlie !k'11, he re.iuested Mar tha to eive him the pleasure f a few miitutes' conversation. Martha was a jewel of a cook and a nice housekeeper. siie had made it her sjecial olij.i-t iu life to minister to Mr. Coates' comfort ; it mvilcd but half an eve tii see tiiat she had ii"t Uvu u;isitc-.-fLil. She had but one com plaint the sinallnc of the field she worked in. In her own words, she wanted "a larger spere t hoju'rate in." Martha hud long desired to s.e Mr. t'oates married; and although the knew her position t'x well to try to in struct her master, n!ie had by various gentle hints conveyed to him her will ingness to le under the superintendence of another. All these hints had proved uuavail ing, though as Mr. Coates callvtl her to hi study on this particular night, several of the aforesaid were presented to his feverish imagination in their true significance. "Take a scat, Martha, please." Martha dumKd berseif into the nearest chair, ruh'iing her floury hands the while, and Mr. Coates pr.eecdc l iu a oiT-haud a manner as he could command : 'Ixt'ssec; what time did I come home lust night?" "Why, sir, I should say n!ut ten o'clock inebbe a Uiirh r past." "AI, to b sure ; you see, my watch stopped last night, Martha, and I r have reason for wishing to know the exict time." "To U sure, sir." Mr. C.t.s li.'rve 1 hinn.'lf up for another elibrt. "Ily the way, Martha, you didn't notiee anything extraordinary iu my conduct last night, did you?" "Extraordinary in your conduct, sir? No, sir, that I didn't, and the chap as means to insinuate" "Stay, Martha, I didn't Pay that any one iiad Uvn insinuating. I merely w ished to know from your lip-s that my conduct last night wa just the same as on every other night. Can you assure liie c ontidently that tuch was the case, Martha?" V Ves, sir, excepting" "KAivp'ing what ? hjK ak out, Mar tha. Don't lie afraid." "Well, sir, y.va ang just a little bit not boisterous, sir, or rowdy like ; but just low and sweet, sir, a if yon 'w afraid of lieing ot rheard. In fact, sir, it wa oiitc a tr.-at to he-ar you." "I cang, Martlia?" oclweil Mr. Coates, in genuine amazement, knowing full well that he had not done such a thing in twenty year. "Are you ipjite sure of that, Martha?" "Perfectly, sir." Mr. Coates thought long and deep for a moment, while hi countenanci; betrayed hi worst apprehension. "lYrhap you can tell me what I sang alxmt, Martha the ' words, I mean." VWhy, no, sir, I can't nay that I remember the words, hut U went oiue thinjj like 'Hat,py the wQinj Tiiai's not Uuit a-dijing.' "Wh-at r' gaIHtl Mr. Coates. Martha slowly repeated the lines. Mr. CtKitcsi groanetl. "You you're ipiitc wire of that, Martha?" he feebly asked. "Perfectly, sir." "Ti.-.t ivin..i i Af irtht th ink vwu: ESTABLISHED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, you may go back to your duties. And , by ths way, I h ill not rj--i"r my t till late tonight, a I have Important business to attend to." "J!ut the niuilins, sir ; they'll be sjmiled," jirotcted Martha. "Hang the inuliins!" roarcl Mr. Coates. "I beg your pardon, Martha," he said, softening; "I m?an stw tlie inirdius. I really am not myself this evening. I trust you will excuse any seeming rudeness on my pnrt." "No, ollenee, sir," rejdied the un perturbed Martha. "Kiit you'll have a cup o' tea, sir, before you g ." "All right, Martha." And Mr. Co.ite.sdep.irL'd to hisdress-ing-rooiu, wherj he ni i lea hasty toilet, descended for hi tea, an 1 two minute after was on hi way to Mr. J Mack's Could Mr. Co-its have but stepped back to hi hearth and home he would have l'u shocked at the antic of his housemaid Martha, who, toking by the paw the sleeping Tang, danced him round the kitchen on his hind leg, worrying him with such uerie as : "What d'yoii say to a new mistress, Tang? Jib ? What ? Can't you spvak '." Although Tang could only lurk, he seel'i d to understand there wa some thing very interesting iu the wind. Cold, damp and in anything but an amiable frame of mind, Mr. Coates found himself at the gate of Mrs. IMaek's cottage. Once within the gate, however, and walking up the path, he found his anger suddenly transformed into a kind of nervous dread. Several time he wa on the point of retreating, arguing that the morning would do as well : but his sen.-".; of 'duty prevailed ; aii'I rehearsing for the la-t tune the speech he had prepared on hi journey, he walked up to thed Kr and knocked, hoping that iha lady might bo out. His worst fear were realized. ' Enter," called :t soft, nuisicil voice front within. The next moment Mr. Coates found hiiiisalfiu the little kitchen and par lor combined, vaguely conscious f rows of shining pans, a bright lire, and last, but not least, a trim figure meeting hint half-way, and drawing him toward the warwth and light. "(Sond evening, Mr. Coat1:," said Mrs. lWack, in accent of genuine p'eiLsure ; "this Is in.Jivd n pjoastmt surprise. To what mu-t I ascribe the honor of this timely visit ?" Xow was Mr. Coates' time to de'.iver hi carefully prepared sh-cc1i. IVut the utmost he could do w as to g ue abnit him in a d.t.ed w ay us he stannnVred : "Tiiut note, Mrs. IMack. 1-1 called shout the note." "Aii, to be sure you pot my note, then? Hut really, Mr. I't.ates, what a ticmcndotis hurry you are iu !' "I assure you, ma'am there is no hur ry at all. I wa only joking when I said there was if indeed I never did say tiiere wa. I call easily wait cjx mouths, or a year, or " Ten years, Mr. Coates had ahiri.t said in his eagerness. Jlut he checked him -elf, rejecting that stieli heart Ics indiiVi rent e was hardly compatible with an at'iauee.1 Im.b.md's i.issi.;i. The lady smiled sweetly. "I am afraid you say tint entirely out of consideration for myself," she murmured. "lint I won't lt selfish; a:i 1, hijid.'s, I can m mage very well. Miss Muues tried me on thisaiternoon, aid siie has promised the dress faith fully by their.th." Mr. Coates fairly gasped t the au dacious manner ia which his objection were overruled. "However," continued Mrs. IMack, suavely, "business will wail, I think, Mr. Coates, and I'm sure you've had no tea. You'll have a cup of tea, of course?" Tea with this little woman, in a lone house, and in a lone part ! Mr. C tate shuddered at the thought. And, 1 sides, would it not !e a sort of tacit compliance? He would have protested, but hi tongue again failed him. Vacantly he allowed himself to be ijuartcrvd in the old arm-chair, w hile Mrs IMack, with a bewitching smile, iu which a shade of tnunph might have been detected, heated herself op posite and poured the tea. And lit re another surprise awaited the already bewildered Mr. Coates. To his right he found a plate literally stacked with niul'.ln.-, while at hi left rose liiaje-ilii'.dly a plate of and this eye sparkled cheese-cakes! I low in the world did Mrs. IMack know of his fondm-rv for the particular dain ties? He looked at hi hostes for an ex planation. That astute lady, antici pating hi qnery, murmured some thing about studying the wishes of those we love, and for the liM time began to blush furiously. Mr. Coates wasted no further time, but fell to. "As good a Martha's, every bit," he murmured, a the fit t cheese-cake disappeared. "So glad you like them." More cukes disappeared. Tiie gue-t waxed sociable. "Iicaily, Mrs, IMack," he exclaimed, "your cheese-cakes excel Martha's." Mrs. IMcck smiled modestly. She thought it unite suiktiJuou to inform !ini that they were Martha's ; that, in fact, they had preceded his advent but a few minutes. "All's fair in love and war," she argued ; and gazed upon hi feature with a scrutiny almost bordering on rudeness. It was now Mrs. IMack's turn to ap pear embarrassed, and she excused her self to clear away the tea-things. Mr. Coates' eyes w'amlored around the little parlor, and he was obliged to admit that he had never come across a neater or cosier room. Everything was in ju-rfeet harmony, even to the dim inutive canary in a pink cage, hanging against the spotless curtain. Once more hi eyes fell upon Mrs. IMack. Singularly enough, now be came to think of it, lie discovered iiyiny chariuing icciiliarities, and divers steil ing qualities, all of wjiieji he Inn faile to. notice, previously, "U.-ally," he ni ie 1, a he watched the play of her linger among the cups and saucers, "rhe Is a charming creat ure. Iwell, I might do a great denl worse. And now I think of it, I've felt that single life i apt to lie lonely. I shouldn't know what to do if my old Martha were taken, and she can't live A PHIL 17, 1895. liming hu.-tlcd about as lop.ga con- veniont, Mrs. IMack returned to the charge by asking Mr. Coates if he would like to see er the dre-s r at least a picture of it. Mr. Coates, now prepared for almost anything, readily acquiesced. Skipping upstairs she returned with a ladies' Journal. "Of course," she explained, a rapid ly turning over the leaves, "it's not the Usual thing to consult the the bride groom" with a blush "bat we've .ri-..., i. ,...,.c..;..,.i;.. i i:,... t r.. .t i . t .. vi.ti-t- mi, .1 iii.i.

Mrs. IMack held out her hand aud called up a iH'coi.iiug Mu.di. "If you mut go," she miirnuiri d. Mr. (Vtites took her hand ia hi and held it a moment.
