RUTH. “And this is homo 1” Ruth Delano gazed about her with a mingled feeling ot wonder, joy and disapointment. Three thousand miles had she traveled across tho continent to roach the home her husband had prepared for her, and this was what sho found : A lonely ranch among the foot** hills in southern California, with a plain log cabin for a home. Not a vestige of a plant or flower around it, not a suggestion of comfort or beauty within it, tho hills sketch¬ ing brown and baro under the July sun, and not a shade treo in sight. “One might know there never had been a woman near this place," sighed Ruth, her eyes slowly filling with tears. It seemed so comfort* less and barren after leaving her mother’s old fashioned farmhouse in Maine, full to overflowing with inviting, comfortable things, and surrounded with flower gardens and orchards, and where every nook and corner suggested tho delt hands and delicate fancies of wo¬ men. She felt her very heart sink¬ ing within her. Then seeing the eyes of her husband fixed upon hei she forced back tho tear3. Had she not said, like the Ruth of old, “Whither thou goest, I will go; and whither thou lodgest I will lodf^c w V* Would any placo, no matter how full of comfort it might be, over be home without him ? Had sho and her baby’ Ruth not wept tears ofjoy when the letter came from Califor¬ nia to take them home? and had not every foot of tho way been a joy to think she was onco more with him ahd that they wero to have a homo ? She stroked tho hand of her hus¬ band, who held their little Ruthie iu his arms, smiling through her tears. “I know, dear, it is a new coun¬ try,’’ she said cheerfully, and you have done the best you could. It was truly wifely spirit, and in his heart he blessed tho truo wo¬ man who said it. “All tho ranches look kind of desolate,” ho said, when there’s no one but men about; but now we’ve got a little woniati here, things will soon be locking different. Inside of the house she found ev¬ erything neat, at least, and that was a great comfort to her, and if tho parlor was barren looking with no carpet upon it, the kitchen was full of contrivances which women like, and sho knew that John had thought of them for her. After supper tnoy sat down on the little porch in front of the cabin to talk plans for fulnrb work. It was just at sunset, and as Ruth sat placidly* looking at tho view in front of her—which, after all, was a fine one, taking in a glimpse of the blue Pacific, and a background of purple mountains—sho began to loso that undertone of homesick¬ ness which had so marred her home coming. She thought how beauti¬ ful a. home might really bo under the shadow of tho lifted peaks. an,d sho resolved that w’ilh John’s help she would make bers oie to be proud of. As if in answer to her thought, John went into the bouse and returned in a moment laden with fwp parccls which he dropped ( into her lap. “There, Ruth,” he said, you can’t guess what those are, can you? “I am afraid not,” Ruth said, eye ing the mysterious looking pack* ^™Uer,ng!y. . ‘‘W ell, you know the house len t very beautiful vet,” John said, his good , face _ fairly „ . , shining-vntn ... the f httie . secret be , bad . iu . store 4 " for , , her; *bal I 11 find . something ... guess you will i„ caoW 0,1 these nackaccs that U ‘ at ;y " hat coa toa |d * u h , n * Both ULU took loOK A ^ ,■ htcr but ]a Qne firsL A ° her “ er fcur 1 it 1 wis as iuii full of Oi g... par . den , ee d8, small packages ofovcrv J . kiml . , almost . . she , could , •* think , . , of. . uix 7 e ii u 0TV Jovelvaha ^ R*ud ’ N ° W shall raise all tho vege , uL ‘es''e ncedand j anf i nnp our garden ---A-n will :it , r rival dear mother s at home._ “Yes,” John replied, and go ahead of it; for California beats the world for flowers, and your garden will be just as iovely in winter as in summer. There are twenty rities of rdscS alone among that collection of seed. “Isn’t it wonderful to think of?” CricdRutb, as delighted as acb I’d over her treasures. And what can bo ra hero ? she continued, as she opened the second parcel. Won* ders will nover ceaso ! sho exclaim ed the next moment, as sho pourod a whole bag of silver into her lap. And what :s this for ? “To buy your parlor furniture,” i •• he replied, . laughing her at amaze¬ ment. “HonestShe looked at him, her brown eyes sparkling. ‘ It is for Mrs. Delano to do with as sho pleases,” ho said, “I saved tho money to furnish tho cabin witn and thought to have it fixed up be¬ fore you came, but concluded on second thought that you could do better than I; so there’s the money. Buy what you please and fix up the placo to suit yourself." “Well, if you ain’t the best John in tho whole country," Ruth said, almost laughing and crying h> the same breath. How could sho ever be homesick again? And that night, instead cf crying herself to sleep, as she thought that afternoon to do sho lay awakeTrora very joy, thinking cf the pretty things she could buy and make for the cabin, and imagining how pie tu res quo it v/ould look covered with Lady Banks roses, and how sweet tho violot beds would bo in the spring time. And so the very next day she set the hired man to work laying off a garden, and all that week and the next *sho spent her sparo time in digging and hoeing and spading. Tho following week John took her to tho nearest town, and sho select¬ ed tho various articles sho desired for Iho heuso. She managed to fur nish it quite comfortably, and un¬ der her deft Angers all things be¬ gan to wear a homelike air. The placo lost its barren and shiftless look, and even tho dog, Ilaiold, seemed to feel the change. He no longer wandered aimlessly about as though socking a comfortable spot, but went to sleep a picture of contentment on one of the soft rugs in the silting room, keeping one eye always half open upon his playmate, Rulhic. The months sped by in spite of all tho hardships she had to endurd for life is hard for a woman in a now country—on light wings for liulh. She made the best of all her trials, and was as sweet and con tented as sho bad been in the fair homo they had once, owned and lost. Though often her limbs ached and her head * was .weary with the weight of work which foil to her share, she never complained. Not once did sho grow fretful, 6r reproach her husband for taking her so far away from all that she loved. “He is doing the best ho can,” she always said to herself, “and what would a palace bo without his love? Besides, low much I have got to be grateful for.” And somehow the remembrance of their first evening in the log cabin would always bring the tears to her eyes. It was such a real proof of his love and thoughtfulness for her. When tho next spiiog length¬ ened into summer, and her sw’eet face began to wear a tired look that ho did not like to sec, he came to her one evening, saying gravely: “Ruth, pack your trunk to-night. To-morrow I want to take you with mo to San Diego. Important business call mo there, and you and Ruthie both need a change/' “But how can you leavo tho ritnch?’ Ruth asked, “just now, when you are most needed?’ *‘Oh, Redly’ will take chnrgo of the place and the men will work for him as well as for me.” If Ruth had noticed him just then very carefully, she might have seen a twinklo in, his eye that would have made her suspicious as to this “business trip” to San Die¬ go; but like a dutiful wife she pack¬ ed up and asked no foolish ques* lions. When they reached San Diego, much to her surprise her husband did not go to a hotel. He gave the coachman some directions, and they were driven to an elegant looking house in the suburbs. “Whv, I didn’t know y’ou had friends here!’ Ruth exclaimed in sur r >r ’ sc * “Gh, yes, sai John. “I have a numbti of them, This is tho home of the best Iricnd 1 Lave in tb e world.” “Why*” John nearly took her breath avray. She thought of her shabby traveling dress and Ruthie’s shabbier cloak with dismay, but s^ie made up her mind to’hialte the Iho best of it for John’s salto any* way. A lady could always bo a lady, n® matter how sho was dross* ed. A neat Chinaman opened the ' door and ushered them into a hand some reception room. The house was b'eautiful iusido, and overy* thing was new and of tho latest fashion. Ruth sank into a finely upholstered easy «hair with a feol in'g of momentary content. For a moment she wished slio might be the possessor of such a home, then she put aside tho envious wish. “Mako yourself at home, dear,” said John, “while I seek the mas¬ ter of tho house, lie is probably in his study. I will return when I have spoken witlUliim privaloly. I Know ho will bo delighted to know you aro hero and wolcome you,” iv , • “How strar.go John never told me of this friend of his,” Ruth said to herself as sho musccl herself looking at tho hatulsotno engrav¬ ings on tb® tablo near her. Presently ho returned, but not as she expected, with tho master of too house, whom sho was feeling a little in awe of. “Where is ho?” she asked. “Here. “Here ? Why, John, have you lost your mind? There is no one with you. You and I aro alone,.’ She began to look frightened. What if John had really lost his senses ? Ho had certainly acted du«o- about this San Diego trip. To her further amazement he burst into a loud laugh, and taking a stand in tho middle cf tho room, said with a polito bow: “Dear Mrs. Delano, allow mo to introduce to you tho master of this house, John Delano, Esq., your humble servant. } I am monarch of • sur^r/." , . all I “John, you are surely going mad and I with you.! For heaven’s sake she entreated, tell mo what you mean.” y y.<* “i’ll tell you I mean, little wife, he said. I mean that I came to San -t>iego last year during the land boom, went into real estate business and cleared a small; for¬ tune. This is your house, and all that is in it belongs to Ruth and John Delano. Tim ranch and the log cabin wero simply a trial of your love. I wanted to find out what kind of stuff my wife wat made of.” “And did you find out?" she asked of him! woman like, not knowing whether to laugh or cry Over this great joy. “Indeed I did. Sho was weighed id the balanco and not found want¬ ing. I know now that her love was strong enough to brave all tri¬ als for me. Henceforth she shall bo queen of my prosperity." “It was a very pretty little drama 3 ’ou chose to have mo take the principal part in, but I forgive you and I am satisfied if you arc.” “Do you know, deal"John," she whbpered that night, as she belt! Ruthie up for her papa’s good night kiss, that I doubt if I can bo as happy any whero as 1 was in that little log cabin of ours, in spile of all the hard work I did. Love nev¬ er seemed before such a sweet com¬ pensation for all of life's trials." “Well, if that isn’t just like awe man!” laughed her husband. Like Lot’s w’ife, forever looking back. Give her heaven, and two to one she’ll be sorry sho left earth. Ruth only smiled and held her peace She knew that he loo would ever noid theii log cabin days in sweet and sacred remem¬ brance.
