CHAPTER Nv

Supper was well-nigh over when the
barking of dogs announced a late ar
rival.
That's father!" cried young Jack.
Il thought he'd be here tonight. I'll
run down to the huts and meet him"

the sounds.
After the first outburst of welcome
had subsidized, some fifty questions had
been asked. and Mr.. Hall had some

"And now that l have told YOU all
my news, how have you been getting
on in my absence? Shearing going
ahead all right, Jack?"
Eyes, father. Nothing much to
growl about. Pretty fair clip so far.

yet whether you got the married

lowed beer and washing. One likely
fellow had six small chlldren-no
drawback on the place here, knowing
that he might leave me in a few
months for five shillings a week more
wages at the next station? At last I
dropped across a very decent young
fellow, just out from the old country,
with a young wife and no encum-
brances."
But what did you mean by you
have and you haven't?" asked Mrs
Hall.
"I mean this-the man tells me his
wife is in too delicate state to do any
work. His name is Thomas Baynes
and he says he can cook well and is
handy about the house. l didn't see
his wife, but engaged him at seventy
pounds year, on condition that, II

with the thermometer at hundred and

Oh, I'm not to be irreverent, mother?
Well, won't, to please you; but upon
my word 1t was shame of that brute
Johnson to go off at a moments mo-
tice, just at the very busiest time"
Never mind, jack" interrupted
Mrs. Hall, as she leaned her head back
over the rail on the lounge-chair and
clasped her hands behind her neck.
Don't talk so much, but look out with
your young eyes and see If your father
is not coming in the distance"
"Or, in other words" said Jack
laughing" Sister Ann, sister Ann
do you see some one coming? No
mother, no one-neither Bluebeard mol

In tho Mexican Household.

The arrangement Of furniture IL
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is a very common sight to
see a splendidly furnished parlor with
row of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed. Heavy single doors, such as
are used in the United States, are
practically unknown in Mexican houses
either at entrances or between interior
rooms. All doors open in the middle
and are fastened with bolts top and
bottom. Exterior doors are always it-
ted with glass panels, for they also
serve as windows. All such doors
opening on the street or open court are
fitted with solid shutters that are fold
ed at the sides out of sight when not
in use. A good Mexican cook relieves
the mistress of the house Of worry and
responsibility in a manner that IL al
most unknown In the United States.
The cook is given so much day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for the
day. even the staples that are usually
bought in large quantities in other
countries. On dollar day a cook
will provide a very good table for q
family of three or four, and get enough
beans and tortillas and chile to set the
servants table besides. They can re-
ally do better than their mistresses,
because they can usually drive sharper
bargains with the marketmen Of their
own class, and they have more pa
thence to haggle over the last penny-
