The time was morning, 'the screna ft
farm-house kitchen; the actors, two
. people, man and woman. The woman.
Amy by name, waB small In stature,
light in framo and quick in motion;
her face was ivlain, its white, healthy
color marred l-y freckles, Its mouth
'tever-generous. *Ier ?yeo, too, were
large, with such honesty and sincerity
In their depths of gray, they furnished
the owner a certificate of character
wherever ahe carvled them. She
had come Into the kitchon. holding in
one hand a cake, at which she glanced
with something of th? same fondness
which an artist showri for a mastorpiece.
As she had entered the kitchen,
she had stopped suddenly by the
door, her large, bright eyes taking In
quickly the details of the scene before
her, while her face assumed an
expression of such dismay, aa brought
a broad smile upon her companion's
merry faco. She hurriedly placed
her CakO UDOn tha hrnnlr
back at ber first glimpse of its greaso
pots and kettle crock; her eyes
roved to the floor and mopboard,
where thoy seemed to transfix the
dust with their steely glance. There
was au unwashed frying-pan on the
hearth. She looked at It with eyes
of pity; then turned, with the badio
expression, toward her companion. She
made a quick, restlre motion with her
hand. "Wouldn't you," she said, falteringly,
"like to have me?have me
eweop a little for you, now I'm hero?
I like to sweep and clean, Just aa
another woman like* to sing and play
the piano."
"No," he said, laughing; "I think
It 1b enough for one woman to clean
out the cracks In her own floor with
a hair-pin. I couldn't think of consenting
to such waste of strength In
my behalf."
She turned, with Just a touch of
XRtlnn h?r /.>! nfll/
-p ?...
"Good morning," ah? said abruptly,
s she started acroaa the piazza toward
her own home. She hurried on,
as if some important duty waited her
coming. As she clicked the latch of
the gate, ahe turned toward the Xoub*
which she had Juat left. He wan still
standing there by door; his face,
which had been but a minute before,
mirth-Illumined, had become suddenly
grare. She saw it, and its reflection
fell upon her own. Yes, she
knew it was lonely over there. She
went on slowly Into the house. Tbo
room which she entered partook of i
her own character; It was small, dull
in color, and spotlessly kept. Her
mother, diminutive like herself, oat
by the Are busily knitting, the linen
of her withttrod, oharply-chlaedel face
showing clear above the white kerohlef
at her throat. She had the
me gray eyos and the same grave
earnestness.
"Woll, what did he say to the cake.
Amy?" asked the mother, looking over
her spectacles at her daughter as she
entered.
"He said he was obliged," replied
Amy, drawing a chair up to the Are.
"You ought to see the kitchen," she
went on; "dirt and dust in heaps
everywhere. You can't hardly tee the
table for tho grease and crock," looking
plteously at her mother; "and all
the rest la just &s bad. There is a
frying-pan there that I shall remember
as long as I live."
"What can we do?" asked the moth
*jr eurueauy, laying aside tier knitting,
aa if that impeded th?. course
of thought; "what's to bo doue?"
"I don't know." said Amy, despairingly.
"He wouldn't let me clean. I
aaked him ajain."
"I've thought sometimes," remarked
the older woman, "that perhaps
he don't like it?your not wanting to
marry him; sort o' resents it, may*
be."
"There'd be no sense in that," said
Amy, with a show of energy and
surprise. "You might as well blaine
me for liking pickles. My mind is
set naturally on living single. I can't
help it."
"He hasn't asked you lately, has
ne: nam tne mother, when they
were launched safely on the steady
stream of work. Amy shook her
head.
"Maybe he's getting tired of It," remarked
the mother.
"I don't know," said Amy, a little
crossly. "He says he asks me once
a year; but that's his way joking
about things that are no joke. It's but
a half dozen times."
"It's too bad," said the mother, sum*
ming up the situation; "but what's to
be done?"
That question presented itself often
to the two women, aB they sat around
their own well-kept hearth, and
thought of the kitchen in the house
opposite. From time to time Amy veaI
turod over with a cake ana took not*
of the increase of dup.t
."It's piling up on the mopboard,"
fhe said to her mother, who was
ever an eager and sympathetic listener.
"He scratches around with %
broom sometimes; but he norer hit* 1
the mopboard."
The frying-pan, too, appeared occ*
tonally In Its unwaahM. unk????

dltlon; it had the forlorn air of on*
Who had a?en better daya.
The winter wore away at last. When
the aprlng had fairly eotne, the mother
gladly came out of her winter
prison house,
offered suggestions about tho sov :
of soeds and tho preparation of
soil. One morning, when John
gone away, she and Amy with an
of stealth such as would bo nat
to a soldier roconnolterlng the one
went noiselessly to their nelght
house, crossed the piazza, and
one long look at the begrimnied
dust-weighted kitchen. A de?
shade of gravity rested on the ni
r*? face when she came away. 1
vr6re silent, returning, but aa sooi
they reached their own home
chattered like magpies over the
tails of that unfortunate kitchen.
"I wish," said the mother, pat
lcally; "that I had never seen it.
I shall carry the memory of It m
me all my days."
Yet tho place had a klndoffasci
tlon. They stole over again and agi
to get a glimpse of it.
It was a fine moonlight winter e e
lng. John and Amy had come h m
from church together. She had i leaped
a little beyond him. and had | one
into her own littlo yard and cl >sed j
the gate. How he hated the clic't of
that gate! He was talking on, wifh i
the manifest purpose of keeping her j
there a minute. "Yes," he said, 'it's j
been an open winter. I like s?.ow, ,

I'm growing old, I guess; noO.ing
ems bo good as it used to, not
even the snow; that'B colder and not
so white. Everything Is different but
you, Amy; you never change."
"I think I grow old, too," said Amy.
"No you don't; you're just the same
girl you were 15 yearB ago. It takes
something besides time to make peoplo
grow old. I'm getting gray myself."
He laughed without apparent
cause and pushed away the snow with
hlB foot. "Amy," he said, merrily,
as If hefwas about to tell an amusing
Btory, "I haven't bothered you wtth
tnai old annual question of mine this I
year, have I? I suppose it wouldn't
bo of any use, anyhow, would it?"
He was looking at her wistfully. ]
They say that sometimes the mind I
works rapidly in the emergencies of j
life. There came to Amy a vision of
that kitchen. A frying-pan, mute yet
pleading, was on the hearth; a kettle,
with rusty countenance, was asking
for help; the dust on the mopboard
flashed on her sight; Bhe felt that it
was making an appoal. At that minute
it was borne in upon her that she
had been appointed to a mission; she
was to be an apostle of cleansing to

Anyhow, Would It?"
Bhadow of hesitation or doubt. "I
don't know," she said, simply. "I
think perhaps there might."
"Are you sure?" he said.
"I'?I'm afraid so," she faltered.
Hp placed his hand upon the latch
of the gate. She saw the motion and
glanced quickly up at him, then turn- (
ed and ran swiftly into the house.
John stood a minute as is ho were
a little dazed b> the sudden coining
of his happiness; then he went slowly
across to his house. There was a i
new light In his face, and a smilo '
on his Hps, and his home did not seem
half so lonely, for ho could already |
see, In fancy, a morsel of gray-gowned
womanhood, flitting about. those
rooms. ue sat till late that night,
trying to realize his fortune, wondering
how Amy had come to know her
own heart, for he felt sure that, unawares,
she had been fond of him
all these years. He never knew how
the dust on the mopboaid had pleaded
his cause, nor how his kettle had been
gifted with a more persuasive voice
than his, nor felt for them the affection
that otherwise he might have
regarded as their duo.
It was not many months before the
dust tasted water; the frying-pan once
more learned the use of scouring sand;
the table was freed from Its burden
of enrth, and the whole kitchen vai
washed and rewashed, till it shone
and shone again. The only hindrance
to the good work was the frequent
presenco of a mascullno giant, who
picked up the small housewife, and
held her up till her eyes were on a
level with his own, "mussed" her hair,
took, as he said, "the starchy look out ]
of her mouth," ?"1 othorwlso cmrluptnd
