Ephraim down into the meadows,
making believe she was Kitty Lew,
.nox still -when she could climb the
ladder in the barn after new -laid
eggs, or steal across the fields to
Linwood, talking with Morris as
She used to talk in the days which
!seemed so long ago. Morris she
feared was not liking her as well as
of old, thinking her very frivolous
arta silly,for he had only written
her one short note in reply to the
letter she had sent, telling him of
the parties she had attended, end
the gay, happy life she led, for to
him she would not then confess that
•in her cup of joy there was a single
bitter dreg. All was bright and fair,
• she said, and Morris had replied that
'Iri was glad, "But do not forget
that death can find you even amid
avour splendor, or that after death
the judgment comes, and then what
• shall it profit you if you gain the
whole world and lose your own
. f 001."
These words had rung in Katy's
.,ears for many a day, following her
to the dance and to the opera, where
.oven the music was drowned by the
.echo of the woods: "lose your own
soul." But the sting grew less and
less, till Kap no longer felt it, and
. row was only anxious to talk with
i hovels and convince him that she
was not at thoughtless as he :night
suppose, that she still remembered
his teachings, and the little church
in the valley, preferring it to the
handsome, aristocratic house where
she went with the Camerons once
.on every Sunday.
"Ono more week and then it is
April," she said to Wilford one ev-
i ening after they had retired to their
.room, and she was talking of Sil-
verton. . •'I guess we'd better go
..about the tenth. Shall you stay as
long as I do?"
Wilford bit his lip, and after a mo-
ment replied:
"T have been talking with =ether,
and we think April is not a good
time for you to be in the country; it
is so wet and cold, and I want you
!here to help order our furniture."
"Olt, Wilford!" and Kitty's voice
trembled, for from past experience
sl'id. knew that for Wilford to object
.atb her plans was equivalent to a
/ e. ;refusal, and hia heart throbbed with
1 'disappointment as she- tried to listen
a, while Wilford urged many reasons
why she should not go, convincing
her at last that of all times for vis-
iting Silverton, spring was the
worst; that summer or autumn were
hotter, and that it was her duty to
remain where she was 'untilsuch
tithe as he saw fit for her to do
otherwise.
This was the meaning of what he
said, and though his manner was
;guarded, and his words kind, they
were very conclusive, and with one
gasping sob Katy gave up Silver-
ton, charging it more to Mrs. Came
ieron than to Wilford, and writing

CHAPTER XVII.
Tt was a cruel thing for Wilford
Cameron to try to separate Katy
from the hearts which loved her so
much; and, as if he felt reproached,
there was an increased tendernessoin
his manner towards her, particufarly
as ho saw how sad she was for a
few days after his decision, But
Katy could not be sorry long, and
in the excitement of settling the
new house, her spirits rallied, and
her merry laugh trilled like a bird
through the rooms where the work-
men were so busy, and where Mrs.
Cameron was the real superintendent,
though there was sometimes a show
of consulting Katy, who neverthe-
less was a mere cipher in the mat-
ter. In everything the mother had
her way, until it came to the room
designed for Helen, and which Mrs.
Cameron was for converting into a
kind of smoking or lounging room
for Wilford and his associates. Ka-
ty must not always expect hirn to
be always as devoted to her as he
had been during the winter, she
said. He had a great many bach-
elor friends, and now that he had
a house of his own, it was natural
that he should have some place where
they could spend an hour or so with
him without the restraint of a lady's
satiety, and this was just the room
-large, airy, quiet, and so far from
the parlors that the odor of the
smoke could not reach them.
Katy had submitted to much with-
out knowing that she was submit-
ting; but something that Bell had
dropped that morning had awaken-
ed a suspicion that probably :he
was being ignored, and the wielded
Part of Helen would have enjoyed
the look in her as she said, not to
Mrs. Cameron, but to Wilford, "I

cially disliked; neither could he at
once reply, so astonished was he at
this sudden flash of spirit. Mrs.
Cameron was the first to rally, and
in her usual quiet tone, she said: "I
did not know that your sister was
to form a part of yam' household.
When do you expect her?" and her
cold gray eyes rested steadily upon
Katy, who never before realized the
distance there was between her hus-
band's friends and her own. But as
'the worm will turn when trampled
on, so Katy, though hitherto power-
less to defend herself, roused in Hel-
en's behalf, and in a tone as „quiet
and decided as that of her mother-
in-law, replied. It was arranged
from the firet. Wasn't it, Wilford?"
and she turned to her husband, who,
Unwilling to 'decide between a wife
he loved and a mother whose judg-
ment he considered infallible, affect-
ed not to hear her, and Stole from
the room, followed by Mrs Camer-
on, so that Katy was left mistress of
the field.
After that no one interfered in her
arrangement of Helen's room, Which,
with far less expense than Mrs.
Cameron would have 'done, she fitted
up so cosily that Wilford pronounced
it the pleasantest room in the house,
while Bell wont into ecstasies over
it, and even Juno might have un-
bent enough to praise it, were it
not for Mark nay, who, from being
tacitly claimed by Juno, was fre-
quently admitted to their counsels,
and had asked the privilege of con-
tributing to Helen's room a hand-
some volume of German poetry, such
us he fancied she might enjoy. So
long as Mark's attentions were not
bestowed in any other quarter Juno
was comparatively satisfied, but the
moment he swerved a hair's breadth
front the line she had marked out,
her anger was aroused; and now,
remembering his commendations Sf
Helen Lennox, she hated her as cor-
dially as one jealous girl can hate
another whom she has itOt seen,
making Katy so uncomfortable,
without knowing what was the mat-
ter, that she hailed the morning Of
her exit from No. — as the bright-
est since her marriage.
Tt was a 'very happy day for Katy,
and when she fist sat down to din -
Her in her own house, her face shone
with a joy which even the presence of
her mother -le -law could not mater-
ially lessen She would rather bare
been alone With Wilford, it is true,
but as her choice was not consulted
she submitted cheerfully, proudly
taking her rightful place at the
table, and doing the honors so well
that Mrs. CoMeron, in speaking of it
to her daughters, acknowledged that
Wilford had little to fear if ftaty •

as it one thought suggested the othe
er, that Sybil Crandon. had return-
ed, that ho saw her on Broadway,
accepting an invitation to it seat ie
her carriage which brought him to
his door. She had made many in-
quiries concerning Katy, expressing
great curiosity to see her, and say.
ing that as she drove past the houe0
that morning she was strongly
tempted to waive all ceremony and
• run in, knowing she would be par-
doned for the sake of Auld Lang
Sync, when she was privileged to
take liberties with. the Cameron.
All this Wilford repeated to IdatY,
but 1w did not tell her how at the
Words Auld Lang Sync, Sybil had
turned her fine eyes upon him with
an exi rs don that made him color,
for he knew she was referring to the
Iliac uh a her name and his were
always coupled together.
Katy had dreaded the return of
Sybil Camden. of tweed she had
heal d so much, ousi new that she
had come, sin' felt for a moment a
terror of meeting her which she tried
to s' ,i':e off, succeeding at last, for
perie faith in Wilford was to her
.ng shield of defence, and her
only trouble was a fear lest she
• should fall in the scale of compari-
son which might be instituted be-
tween herself and Mrs. Grandon, who
after a few days ceased to be a bug-
bear, Wilford never mentioning her
again, and Katy only hearing of her
through Juno and Bell, the first of
whom went into raptures over her,
while the latter styled her a silly,
coquettish widow, who would ap-
pear much bettor to have worn her
weeds a little longer and not throw
herself quite so soon into the Mar-
ket. That she should of course meet
her some time, Katy knew, but she
would not distress herself till the
time arrived, and so she dismissed
her fears, or rather lost them ip
the excitement of her new dignity of
mistress of 'te house.
In he girlhood Katy had evinced,
a taste for . housekeeping, which
now developed so rapidly that she
won the respect of all the servants,
froin the man whit answered the
bell to the accomplished cook hired
by Mrs. Cameron, and who, like
most accomplished cooks, was sharp
and cross and opinionated, but who
did not find it easy to scold the
blithe little woman who every morn-
ing came flitting into her dominions,
not asking what they would have
for dinner, as she had been led to
suppose she would, but ordering it
with a matter of course way, which
amused the usually overbearing Mrs.
Phillips. But when the little lady,
rolling her sleeves up above her
dimpled elbows and donning the
clean white apron which Phillips
Was reserving for afternoon, an-
nounced her intention of surprising
Wilford, with a 'pudding such as
Aunt Betsy` used to make, there were
signs of rebellion, Phillips telling
her bluntly that she couldn't be bo-
thered -that it was not a lady's place
in the kitchen under foot -that the
other Mrs. Cameron never did it,
and would not like it in Mrs. Wil-
ford.
For a moment Katy paused and
looked straight at. Mrs. Phillips ;
then said quietly, "I have only six
eggs here -the recipe is ten. Bring
me four more, please."
There was something in the' blue
eyes which compelled obedience, and
the dessert progressed without ano-
ther word of remonstrance. But
• when the doorbell rang and word
came down that there were ladies in
the paelor-.1 uno with someone else
-Phillips would not tell hoe of the
flour on her hair; and as Katy, af-
ter casting aside her apron and put-
ting down her sleeves, only glanced
hastily at herself in the hall mirror,
its she passed it, she appeared in the
parlor with this mark upon her
curls and greatly to her stonishment
was presented to "Mrs. Sybil Gran -
don," Juno explaining that as Sybil
was so anxious to see her, and they
were passing the house, she had
presumed upon her privilege as a.
sieter and brought her in.
For a moment the room turned
dark, it was so sudden, so unex-
pected, and she so unprepared; but
Sybil's familiar manner quieted her
and she was able at last to look ful-
ly at her visitor, finding her not as
handsome as she expected, nor as
young, but • in all other respects,
she had not perhaps been exaggerat-
ed. Cultivated and self-possessed,
she was very pleasing in her man -
net', making Katy feel wholly at
ease by a few well-timed compli-
ments, which had the merit of
seeming genuine, so perfect was she
in the art of deception.
To Katy she was very gracious,
admiring her house, admiring her-
self, admiring everything, until Katy
wondered how she could ever have
threaded to meet her, laughing and
chatting as familiarly as if thafash-
ionable woman were not criticizing
every movement and every act, and
every feature of her Moe, wondering
most at the flour upon her hair!
Juno Wondered too, but knowing
Katy's domestic propensities, sus-
pected the truth, and feigning some
errand with Phillips, she excused
herself for a moment and descended
to the kitchen where she was not
long in hearing about Katy's
"queer ways, coining where she was
not needed, and making country
puddings after some heathenish
aunt's rule."
"Was it Aunt Betsy?" Juno askod.
11'er face betokening its disgust when
told that she was right, and her
manner on her return to the parlor
was very frigid towards Kitty, who
had discovered the flour on her hair,
anh was laughing merrily over it,
telling Sybil how it happened
how cross Phillips was -and lastly,
how "out folks" often Made the
pudding, and that was why she
wished to surprise Wilford with it.
There was a sarcastic smile upon
Sybil's lip as she wished Mra. Cam-
eron success and thee departed, leav-
ing Kitty to finish the dessert

her more than his words, making
her feel as if she were an ignorant,
ill-bred creature, whom he had rais-
ed to a position she did not know

repay her attempts to please, and so,
perhaps, Wilford thought, as with
old,e1 arms he sat looking at her
weeping so bitterly upon the sofa ;
tut he was too indignant to make
any concession then, and he suffered
her to weep in silence until he re-

Fad seemed an age, for her thoughts
had been busy with the past, gath-
ering up every irieident connected
with her married life since she come

"Oh, if Helen were only here !"
she thought, as she began to exper-
ience a sensation of loneliness she
had never felt before.
But Helen was not there, not com-
ing there at present. One wind
`rent Wilford had settled that, con-
vincing Katy that it was better to
wait until autumn, inasmuch as
they were going so soon to Sarato-
go and Newport, places which Katy
dreaded, after she knew that Mrs.
Camevon and .luno were to be of
the party and probably Sybil Cran-
don. Katy did not dislike the lat-
ter, but she was never easy in her
pi eeence, while she could not deny
to herself that since Sybil's return.
Wilford had not been quite the same
as before. In company he was more
attentive than ever, but at home he
was sometimes moody and silent,
while Katy strove lit vain to as
certain the cause.

must have looked when the words
were pooled, "God will never for-
give the wrong you have done to
me."
"Cenevra was mistaken," lie said,
At least if God has not forgiven, he
has prospered me, which amounts to
the same thing;" and without a
single throb of gratitude to Him who
had thus prospered him, Wilford laid

Katy herself came 'in.
As thoughts of Gerievra always

now he kissed her white cheee, cmi-
ticing that, as Mark had said, it
was whiter that last year in June.
But mountain air world bring Intek

her the note.
"Oh, yes, from Marten ITaailton,"
Katy said. glancing first at the a one
and then hastily reading it through.
"Oho is Marian Ilazelton?"
d toiled, and Katy replied by re-
penting all she anew of Marian, and
how chanced to know her at all.
"Pon't you remember Helen wrote
that she fainted at our wedding, end
was so sorry, fearing that I might
have overworked her?"
Wilford did remember something
about it, and then dismiss:me Mar-
irin front his mind, he told Katy of
his plan for taking her to the Mot n-
ada House a few weeks before go-
ing to Saratoga,
'V,ould you not like it?" he asked,
as she continued silent, with her
eyes fixed upon the window opposite.
' Yes," and Katy thaw a long
weivy breath. I shall like any
where there are birds and rocks, and
trees. and real grass, such as grows
of itself in the country; but Wil-
ford." and Katy crept close to hint
now, "if I might. go to Silverton, I

Had Katy asked for half his for -

Wilford would have given it to her,
but Silverton had .a power to lock
all the softer avenues of his heart,
and so he answered that the Moun-

woeld make no change.
Katy did not ery, nor utter a

ing that quiet submission was better
than taeless opposition, and so Sil-
verton was again given up. But
there was one consolation. Seeing
Marian Hazelton would be almost as
gool as going home, for had she not
recently come front that neighbor-
hood, bringing (with her the odor
from the hills and freshness from

lately seen Helen or Morris at church
and had heard the music of the or-

the singing Of the children

her sleep and murmur snatches of
the sacred songs which Dr. Morris
had taught. Yes, 'Marian meld tell

It was a fault of Mariart's not to

USE OF MACARONI.
Mace] oni is one of the foodstuffs of
which the average cook does not avail
herself nearly so much as she might do
to advtatage. It may be served as a
savory or as a sweet, farinaceous dish,
and it has the advantage of containing •
sufficient nutriment to qualify it to take
the piece of a meat dish when desir-
able. In this latter case it should be
noted that macaroni is lacking in fat,
and it is consequently well to enhance
its value by, the addition of butter,
cream, cheese or a little good stock or
gravy. Macaroni should always be
plunged into plenty of boiling water, to
which there has been added a little salt.
Continue the boiling from thirty to
forty minutes, or until the macaroni is
tender, when the tubes should have be-
come double their original size. Drain
the macarcni and plunge into cold water
for a moment, to prevent breaking and
cohesion, and it is then ready to be
dressed for the table. It is to be re-
gretted that macaroni does not enter
more largely into the dietary of the
working classes of Canada, not less be-
cause of its character and the ease with
which it may be prepared than because
of its nourishing qualities.
Spaghetti and Fruit Pudding. --A quar-
ter of a pound of boiled spaghetti cut in
half-inch pieces, one pound of stewed
fruit, or some preserves, and one tea-
spoonful of vanilla extract. Place a
layer of the fruit in a pretty dish, then
a layer of the spaghetti, until all are
used, having spaghetti for the top layer.
Pour over a custard made with the yolks
of eggs, sugar and the milk, and bake
in a moderate oven for ten minutes.
Decorate with a meringue made with
the whites of the eggs, three tablespoon-
fuls of sugar and the vanilla extract,
Return to the oven to set.

SIT UP STRAIGHT.
There is a therapeutic value in sitting
up straight that few people fully ap-
preciate. A lopping sagging attitude
induces a "sagging" condition of the
nervous system, and when the nervous
system "lets" down we are sick, wheth-
er there is anything tangible the matter
or not.
When one sits stoop -shouldered, with
the diaphragm relaxed and with all the
contents of the abdominal cavity sag-
ging against the front wall of the ab-
domen, he sits in a position that fairly
invites disease.
But with shoulders thrown back, lungs
working to capacity, diaphragm held
firm, and the stomach drawn in he is it
a measure fortified against disease b
his very attitude.
And if he is in a place where the a
that he breathes is pure, he is doub
fortified.
