Mrs. Torrey put it into its first words, but it had been brewing in all four minds. "We must go to housekeeping," Mrs. Torrey said. "George, we will!" "Mary, you're a jewel?shake hands!" was Mr. Torrey's reply. He had been waiting for this a weary while. Across the table two studybooks were slammed down. "Mama, honest? Oh, that's good!" from Maurice. "0 goody!" from nine-year-old Alan. The entire family, then, had been waiting. "Yes, we've boarded long enough. I think we've been pretty patient. Now we'll rent a house and I'll make you three boys some popovers! And you can bring your friends, George, and the boys can entertain theirs sometimes. Why, it's nearly four years since we came East, and here we are in a boarding-house still!" "Well, it sha'n't be so any longer," said Mr. Torrey. "We'll go to housekeeping to-morrow!" Mrs. Torrey smiled leniently. "'That's like a man," she said. "If we find a house in three weeks we shall do well." She was a small woman; an air of fragility sat upon her becomingly. Her big husband, adoring her without disguise, resolved to shoulder the responsibility of moving. It was six o'clock the next night when the four Torreys sat down at their end of the long boarding-house s tea-table. There was subdued jubilation in George Torrey's face, but he ate his supper without disclosing the cause of it. It was not until he got into' the sitting-room upstairs 1 that he broke forth. "Well," he said, rubbing his hands together genially, "I've engaged a house. Didn't take me long, either." "George!" But his wife's tone escaped him in his self-gratulatory mood. He beamed at his wife and the boys impartially. "Yes, I had it all down fine inside of fifteen minutes. Takes me to go house-hunting! I hadn't been on the car two minutes before I ran plump on it in the advertising column in the Times: 'To be let?pleasant Tiouse, nine rooms, sunny, convenient, good neighborhood' ? everything there in black and white, you see! "Here's luck!' I said to myself, but Deuer was to xoiiow. i giauteu um of the car window, and there I was on the very street?yes, pretty nearly opposite the very number! Took me about three winks and a half to stop the car and hunt up that house! It suited all right, and lefore another ten minutes I'd engaged it, and to-morrow we'll " "George!" Mrs. Torrey's tone was now impressively noticeable. It was -distinctly calm and clear?but noticeable. ThereXwas patient tolerance in that one word?there were pity, kindness, affection in it. Mr. Torrey .stopped rubbing his hands together. "George, you are exactly like a man?but, there, I suppose I knew it when I married you.. But I never ^ o V? ni rl I a an oro tri n o* o autau iv j wui u home for your family in fifteen minutes! That proves your sex conclusively enough! You never thought of closets and back yards and exposures and pantry shelves, of course." The tone was gathering gentle sarcasm now. "Or whether the windows faced to the south, or?anything. My dear, engaging houses is a woman's work. It never occurred to me that it was necessary to say so. I have cut out some advertisements in all the papers I can find, and to-morrow I shall make a little beginning. Of course it will 'take considerable time?more than fifteen minutes," she concluded, in a fine climax of irony. "But, Mary"?Mr. Torrey was recoveringslowly. Jubilation had given placc in his honest countenance to surprise, chagrin, disappointment, meek acceptance. "But, Mary, I've engaged the house " Only a rare presence of mind tripped him up there, on the verge of adding that he had paid down a month's rental to "bind the trade." "I think I shall try the one on Liscomb street first, and work gradually downtown," remarked Mrs. Torrey, musingly. She was sorting over some little newspaper cuttings as she mused. There was in her face and attitude the air of a general on the eve of a great campaign. There was ncroism, too, as or one who foresaw personal sacrifice and discomfort. ' She sighed a little foreseeingly. "Well, I'll?well, go ahead, go ahead, my dear!" George Torrey laughed out in the sudden relief of tenderness. He had realized suddenly what a little thins Mary was, and how dotermined her chin was, and how she loved campaigns. Women were queer, but one of them was dear. "Go ahead, and find a place with all the windows to the south and all the closets right!" "That's what I am planning, dear," smiled gsntly tho small woman. "There is the right place for us somewhere, and I shall not spare time or pains to find it. It will very likely take a lot of hunting and trailing up and down stairs, but I shall uo my ucsl.

L "Found a southern exposure yet?"

She had not given that an instant's serious thought. q The very ridiculousness of the in- w cident robbed it of importance, and a] made it a thing only to be laughed at. Men were such funny creatures! Here had she been systematically C( searching for a house for almost a e. week, and a man took fifteen min- S) utes! M It was presently a full week. Mrs. jj Torrey was very tired. She nodded in her chair evenings, and her husband repented of his teasing. He s, j made frequent resolutions to tease n no more, but the bantering little ^ query slipped between his lips before he knew it with persistent regu- ci larity. ij "No, I haven't found any southern q exposure?or northern exposure, or y eastern or western!" she flashed back n f .

"You've something up your sleeve?needn't tell me!" a "Yes, I have," she laughed. "And P it's a house! 0 George, boys, I've ^ found the dearest little place!"

"I don't want to decide too t recklessly. And then day after to- n morrow I'll go and look it all over t again, to make ?ure. It pays to be a prudent." 1 "M-m?yes!" muttered the impru- i dent man who required but fifteen v minutes. "Perhaps so! Perhaps so!" 1 But he remained privately uncon- e vinced. o The next morning but one an ex- t cited little woman appeared at a George Torrey's place of business. ^ "Why, Mary?why, my dear!" that a gentleman eiclaimed, distressed at t once by the palpable signs of trouble, o "I've lost it, George!

And Mary, grown suddenly weak, told all. "Some one had engaged it already f ?it wasn't to be let at all, but the d child didn't know.
