It was again breakfast time with Ar- chie and Kate Fletcher, but tire years had passed ; it was winter,and they were g lobe and in New York ; and instead of the dear old farm house two hired looms eommeed their home. One of them was Kate's ill -lighted bedroom ; the other had a surprisingly brightpand cosy air,and boasted a variety of title.. The center, when the round breakfast table stood, was the call, u notoyer, .'r, the sofa -bedstead along the wall was parlor by day and, with the addition of a folding screen, Archie a chamber by night ; another screen, originally floor -matting, but turned by the bold brush of "our special artist" into the semblance of a rustic fence with clambering cines, shut in w hat was known as the "kitchen gar- den." In that shaded corner was Kate's patent -combined kitchen -table and pot - closet, made of a packing -box atandieg oe its side. The stove wasonion of parlor and cook stove, as lead its dou- ble mission. The "ta,sstry" curtain at Kate's bedroom door --it was bought foe cotton flannel—shut off "the rest of the house." By one of the windows stood a light easel, and a table bearing a medley of paper., wraps of plush and satin, porcelain cups and saucers, placques and panels, besides pencils and color boxes. IThis wsa Kate's "studio." Archie's "office` was represented by • stand and lamp, his home work being confined to evenings. One bad only to look at the pale, stooping youth to divine that his days were spent at a book -keeper's desk. Kate's city life and artist work had rubbed her cheeks of their gypsy bloom, bot had not put oat -the fire or subdued the mirth in her dark feyes. Without being a genius in her art and with al- most no training she bad patiently wrought her native tants and facility into an excellent skill. She had thus been able to take advantage of he deco- rative craze, and many a creditable bet had left her studio and brought in a re- turn of bread and batter to the young housekeepers. They would have made a much better tight of it, had Archie been stronger. Frequent breaks and heavy doctor's bills had kept them poor, but as yet nothing bad quite damped their youthful courage nr their seat in every pleasure that life gays them. A Christmas card, finished the day be- fore propped up on the studio table. it represented Tommy with • blue -checked apron around his neck, satiny plum pud- ding from a chica dish held up by • chubby child. Archie looked at it as he tried to eat his breakfast. "i wish," he said, "that we mould afford to keep it You have caught the same comical look he had that morning ower the eoffse.'

"Come, Tommy," said Kate, and he limped from between the shafts. Fortunately, a policeman appeared, to whom Kate told ber story, swains to be taken to the =an= livery stable.
