"I give you permisalon," answered Dolores carelessly, yet vexed in her Wart that Lola had guessed so cor- rectly, "What shall I give you to amuse yourself with while I get ready 1" "I will talk to the Squire," said Lola. But Dolores knew that in the Squire's present state of mind the lively and at times half-malleious con- versation of Lola would be intolerable. There was nothing else to be done but ask the young lathy to accompany her while the operation of packing was going on. She would have liked,how- ever, some little time to collect her thoughts. To others it seemed that she was simply going out for an even- ing's amusement, and that her chief anxiety was her dress; but in reality she was going out knowing that the happiness of her life was at stake; going out in the hope that she should discover whether Sir Karl cared for her. No wonder that she looked grave and thoughtfulI She had never yet tried to attract him; but she resolved that she would make the mast of her beauty on this evening, and that she would wear her most becoming at - titre. The beautiful French girl, with a smile on her lips, lay back in her chair watching her, the very picture of lux- urious ease. Sha was thirsty, and bad asked for some fruit. With her white pleader fingers she held a lovely ripe peach, talking while she eat it; and Dolores looking at her, thought she was more like a picture than ever. " You are debating in your mind," Dolores about your dresses," observ- ed Lola. "I eau see the perplexity in Your face. Let me decide." But Dolores had already deolded. She took from her wardrobe a dress of creamy silk with rich lace trim- mings, the only ornaments she chose Wing a beautiful parure of pearls. The dark eyes watched steadfastly. " Evidently," said Lola to herself, " Dolores means to eolipsa us all to- night. Now for whom is she going to dress in this style? Not for Lord Rhysevorth-that is certain ; for he is not coming. It must be for Sir Karl. I must put a stop to that. Dolores," she said aloud, with the girlish frank- nese no one could bettor assume, "you have selected your very prettiest dress; yet Lord Rhysworth will not be with us." But Dolores was on her guard and made no answer. She was more aslant then usual all the way to Beaulieu. Lola laughed, talked, told her some absurd anec- dotes neo-dotes of the Pa.rieian visitors ; but on the sweet face of Dolores there Ovals 'a look of anxious thought, Whiit would the evening bring for her? 1)12, Chase's Nerve Food, the great Madame de Ferrerwent straight to The regular and persistent use of this er rpom, and bole want to dress also, great food euro is bound to result in nerve restorative: and blood purifier.

Wee or Raising the Pee. in that particular year it happened that the national political convention of wind] we are speaking was held In some otber town than Chicago, and the place was crowded. This Is how it came to pass that Colo- nel Hankthunder, who went merely as a prominent citizen of the republic and had not taken the precaution to engage a room beforehand, found himself shut out of the Hotels and compelled to choose lodgings from a list of eligible; private dwellings. The woman of the house near the corner of Fish street and Potato ave- nue, the Brat residence at which he called, showed bim the only room she had to spare. "That suits me, ma'am," he said. "How much will it cost me for board and lodging here for the next four days?" "Well," she answered, "this is not a regular boarding house, and I am only taking boarders because I want to ed- ucate my boy for a lawyer. I shall have to charge you $6 for the four days." "Madam," loftily rejoined the colonel, taking out his pocketbook, "you will never educate your boy for a lawyer by giving such an example as that. I will pay you $10." Not Second sight. In happenings that savor of the en- pernatura] there is often less rather than more than is "dreamt of in philos- opby." In the English county Of 'Wiltshire there lived a woman whose deceased husband had been a pig dealer, After his death it was her habit to remark to chance visitors, without looking out the window: "That's a nide lot of young pigs, those." "\Where?" the person present was sure to ask. "`Comm down the road," was the In- variable reply. "They're in a cart, and, what's more, there's a fine fat sow among 'em." And 1t would not be long before a cart would appear and in It a litter of pigs end among them the sow which the woman had perceived at such a distance up the road, One day a vie - !tor, who saw in this exhibition an evidence of second sight, exclaimed; "How do you do it? It is simply wou- 'ierful l" "'Tat 't no mlraele," was the modest reply. "I've just got my ear trained to pigs -that's all," Groan Ingratitude. Elizabeth Cady Stanton used to tell the story of a band of good women who furnished the means for educat ing a poor young man for the ministry, who rewarded their kindness and sell sacrifice by preaching his first sermon From the text, "Let your women 13 cep silence In the churches."

"I shall call you Brother Sammie, and you can call me Sister Eva, and we will both have more to live for. Broth- er Sammie, do you think your sister a bad looking girlie?" "You are a dream!" I replied. "And bow old would you say I was?" "About 20." "Ah, you young rogue, you must not flatter me. I am almost 23. And how's my walk, Sammie?" She rose up and wriggled and tip- toed back and forth and smiled and simpered, and I told her it was the gait of a 16 -year-old maiden. She kissed me on the other ear for that, and then she told me In sisterly confidence that if any one sent her bouquets or invited her out to lunch I mustn't say any- thing about it. If any one asked her age, I was to put It at 23, and I was to be very, very discreet in case of little notes or theater tickets. Sister Eva and I had a thorough understanding before I left, but I can't say that I was highly deligbted to have found her. She didn't offer me a cent extra to help pay off that mortgage on the widow's home, and It seemed as if all the bene- fits were to go her way. A week pass- ed, and no one inquired her age, sent her bouquets or invited her to lunch. She sent for me to know the reason why, and I felt obliged to lie to ber. It is no harm for a boy to lie to Itis sister. I told ber that lefr. Jumper, on' the floor above, was casting sheep's eyes at her; that Mr. Johnson, on the floor below, had praised ber wally; that the gentle- man In room 48 said tbat her race had reminded him of a Grecian goddess, and the cotton buyer in room 54 was dying to ask her out to lunch. She kissed nee on the forehead and patted my shoulder and blushed, and the fam- ily conference broke up in great good feeling. Now and then "Sister Era" had a caller who wanted some work done, but tbe days passed, and the bouquets didn't shower down. 1 kept lying to her in a brotherly way, as it seemed my duty to do, but there came a day when I saw that something must be done or there would be a family row. I bought her a big bouquet and wrote the name of i,tr. Saunders on a card and handed it in to her. Mr. Saunders was the gas engine man on the same floor. He was 60 years old. as dignified as a knot ou a log, and few men dared to speak to him. "Sister Teva" was de- lighted. When I toad her that an inti tation to lunch would speedily follow, she blushed and simpered and looked so e0y and shy that I was really proud of her. I hoped to get out of it with the bouquet, but she kept asking me every day if Mr. Saunders bud said anything more, and I was'ilnally driv- en to say that be would call very soon and ask her to honor him with her com- pany to lunch. I was wondering how many more lies I would have to tell to get out of the scrape when a sudden climax came. At noon one day 14ir. Saunders called at her room with some work he wanted clone at once. She had her Sunday clothes ou, and as he en- tered she simpered and tiptoed around and put on ber bat and said she felt so honored. HO wasn't over two minutes destroying that poor girl's illusion. What be said of bow be said it I don't know, I saw him go In, and, knowing that all was lost, I hid under the stairs. I heard him talking about light headed women and she answering back about fool headed men, and three minutes late1' 1 wA9 n discovered eietator boy, "Sister Eva" hauled me out of my hid- ing place, and the way the did thump me around left me an almost belpiesa wreck, She bauled me into her room by the heir of the head and acid 1 wast no brother.
