years since they had moved into the
city and his wifc's health begun to
break down from household cares.
"And yet ! don't understand these
women" he said to himself, as he sat
there in the kitchen, his chin on ;hc
little boys head, while George
perchcd on the kitchen table gravely
observant. 1--WE have everything in the
world to do with. Our family is not
very large. Martha is kind. and gives
the girls very many favors. We pay
good wages and are ready to put up
with many kinds of incompetency,
and yet we don't seem to be able to
keep any sort of girl more than
three months at time. 1t is breaking
up our home life. It is simply absurd
that | should be doing this kitchen
work. but Martha isn't well, and
there's breakfast to get and all the
work after it,"
He thought of his wife in the other
room on the lounge and was filed with
remorse for her.
81 was brute to talk to her so
sharply" he said, out loud.
"Brutes don't talk" said George,
from his elevated post on the table,
speaking from knowledge gained in
study of natural history given him by
his Aunt Wilson.
"Some OF them do. The two-legged
ones" replied his father. And he rose,
and with the boys went into the sit
ting-room.
They found that Mrs Ward had gone
upstairs in answer to call from
Lewis, the Oldest boy of the fxmily,
ut home, who had broken his arm the
week before while engaged in sport at
school.
The duty Of putting the two young
err lads to bed devolved upon the
father. He performed the duty with
out much heart in it. His wife was ST.
lent and in no mood for reconciliation.
When Carl said his usual prayer, ne
added; "And bless Maggie, because
she is so bad and has wandered far
from the fold" repeating a phrase he
had heard at Sunday school the week
before. And Mr.. Ward listened with
anything but a love Of mankind in his
heart, wondering whether he ought
not TO be included in the child's petit
ton, esteemed church member though
he might be in the eyes of those who
did not see into his home life.
In the morning he faced tired, list
less, discouraged wife, sitting oppo-
site him at breakfast which had been
prepared with his help, under protest,
and with q spirit of nervous depres-
sion that from experience he knew
well enough meant a miserable day at
home.
He rose from the table with really
desperate feeling, saying again to
himself; at would be funny, if 1t
were not so tragic"
"I'll try to find some one, Martha"
he said, feebly, as he put on his hat.

He did not finish the sentence even
to himself, but went on with the work
of clearing the table, making the two
boys sit down in a corner of the din
ing-room while he did the work. When
he had carried everything out, he let
the children go out into the kitchen
with him, while he carefully shut the
door into the dining-room and then
proceeded to "do up" the dishes. let
ting George help, and finally, in an
swer to the younger boys plea, allow
ing him to carry some of the indie
structible dishes into the pantry.
TITS fun, isn't it, papa?' said Carl,
as the last dish was wiped and the
towels hung up.
Great fun" replied Mr.. Ward,
grimly.
Father means II isn't" said George,
with a superior wisdom.
Anyhow, 1 think it's fun. Only |

mamma feel bad. Do they make you
feel bad, papa?"
Eyes, my son, they do" replied Mr..
Ward, as he sat down in one of the old
kitchen chairs and took his younger
son into his lap. And, If the truth
were told, if his two small sons had
not been present, 1t is possible Mr..
Richard Ward might actually have
shed tears over the constantly recur-
ring tragedy of the hired girl as il
had been acted in various forms in his

ing to the agencies"
His wife did not answer.
"We'n do the best we can, Martha.
There must be some competent girl
in this city somewhere"
"If there is, we never found one"
Mrs. Ward answered sharply.
He wisely declined to discuss the
question, and started to go out.
"Ill not be at home to lunch," he
said, putting his head in at the
door.
There was no answer, and he slow
ly shut the door and started for his
car at the next corner; and, of the
many burdened, perplexed hearts
carried into the city that morning.
it is doubtful whether any out of
all the number was more burdened
than that of Mr.. Richard Ward, of
the firm of Mead, Ward and Company.
He sent in to three of the leading
evening papers a carefully worded
advertisement asking for a compe-
tent servant, and took up his days
work with its usual routine without
the least expectation that any reply
would come from his advertisements.
1t would, therefore, have given him
a peculiar sense of interest in the fu-
ture, if at about six o'clock that even
ing, as he went out of his Office and
with strange reluctance started for
his home, he could have seen in a
house not two blocks from his own
young woman eagerly reading the
advertisement and talking to an old
err woman in strangely subdued, but
at the same time positive, manner
concerning it.
