It was a pity the Tarleton girls were all so near of an age," everybody said, "-four of them, counting Dolly," though, to be sure, nobody ever did count Dolly. - The other three were all "out," and, of course, were asked everywhere together, while Dolly, who was only just'out of short frocks spent most of her time in the country where nobody saw her. "She should by right be ' out ' too," sighed her mother in confidence to her especial friend, Mrs. Gardiner. "It is Virginia's fourth winter, and not one of the girls really -provided for.' And Mrs, Gar- diner acknowledged that it was the part of wisdom to keep Dolly back as king as possible. "It is lucky the child herself does not care," said Dolly's mother. "She doesn't ' want any things that other girls are wild about. Slie seems as well contented in the country, at her grandfather's, driving or walking. and running wild generally. She's the only one of my children," went on Mrs. Tarleton, "who is really fond of books, but the others are all pretty -.--nobody can• deny that." And Mrs.Gardiner made no attempt to deny it. Dolly is a clever little soul,".--- she, - said. " Yes," sighed Dolly's mother. "It's astonishing how fond she is of t books, but it's always so ; there's generally some com- pensation for lack of beauty -but I do° wish thatshe could have ta,ken after my family instead of the Tarletons." As Mrs. Gardiner drove home she thought "what a pity that affair of Virginia 'Tar- leton's ended so badly, as it couldn't help spoiling the others' prospects." For Virginia had become engageddruing a visit at Newport toa most eligible foreigner it was thought, but after the congratula- tions had been showered upon. her mother, the bridesmaids asked, and the wedding gown all but chosen, it turned out that Vir- •nia's foreigner was not eligible at all. Some people said he had jilted Virginia when he lound she had no fortune, others, that Virginia was a flirt and had jilted him, and still others, that he had a wife on the other side. All this was, of course,very bad for Louise an& Marie:a, to say nothing of Dolly. .As for Dolly, she continued to take life easy, wore the made -over frocks, the shabby hats, the cleaned gloves of all the others, which she inherited; as she cheer- fully remarked "by right divine, for in the Tarleton family, as in the Royal one of England, there is -no Salic law." She was profoundly interested in her sisters' social triumphs, and always begged to he "waked up" when they came home from balls and - parties. She arranged their hair, sewed on their glove buttons, teased them, laughed at them, and admired them tremendously. In return they allowed her to_ run their er- rends, were not above quoting her clever speeches as original, kept the fact .of her youth well uppermost, spoiled her -a little, but pitied her more. Dolly was not as pretty as Virginia, but what could any one tell of the possibilities of a girl who was never well-dressed, whose hair wa.,s worn in short curls, and whose fingers were frequently inky from writing German exercises? She had not a voice like Louise-Lduise's voice Was her stock in trade, so to speak -neither hacl she Marian's figure ; in fact I do notk.now that Dolly had any particular accomplishment except a rather singular one, that "didn't count." She could whistle 1 Not an or- dinary girlish treble with more shrillness than sweetness, but a truly remarkable whistle 1 Wheic she sat down to the piano and pursed op her lips straightway one hearde the lovliest flute -like notes, deeP, sweet, soaring lip into the treble,. trilling like a bird, now dying away to an almost imper- ceptible sound ; then rising, falling, with such wenderful facility, that one wondered if that could be the same music which came from the lips of the little boot -black or the remotest connection to the whistle of the small boy. This story, perhaps, would never have been written had it not been for Louise Tarfeton'S sore throat or Mrs. Gardiner's musicale, for so do widely differing events combine to produce a_definite result. " I never was more utterly in despair" said Mrs. Gardiner, pausing at the door of the Tarleton's little drawing room. Dolly took bar fingers out of her tumbled curls, and looked up from her book. " Dear Mrs. lardiner," she said, " what is it ?.' " What isn't it,you had better say,child," responded the lady, vexation written all over her face. " Here ain 1 in the greatest Children Cry for andnothingaabsolutely nothing, can 1 be done." ' : • Dolly gave a little ejaculation of surprise, leaning against the door with her hands locked -behind her head. "1 thought you never came to the end of your resources, Mrs. Gardiner,". she said. " Where did you get that idea, Dolly? I assure you I am not infallible by any means. Just now, however, I -should like to shake that sister of yours." "Poor Pouise 1" said 'Dolly. "She's hav- ing a bad enough timeas it is with her sore throat, Mrs. Gardiner.', " I kuow ; Of course I'm dreadfully sorry for her, and all that. I've just been to see her' ; tke doctor says she has quinsy; and she was to sing at my musicales to -morrow, and be the. success of ethe evening -and_ there she lies -poor, dear child 1 And on top of all this comes a note from Herr Wollkauft, my -violinist to say that he can only give me one selection, as he is obliged by his management to leave for New York on an early train'!" Mrs. Gardiner ceased from sheer inability to find an expression adequate to the occasion. - Dolly was all sympathy in a. moment. " I'm so sorry, so awfully Sorry 1 Can nothing be done? Can't you put it off?" "No, that's the worst of it; the invi- tations are all out long ago ! the special people I want to entertain are in town, and if Wollkauft can only give- me one selection it's better than nothing. I was especially anxious for the girls, for Louise to. meet him -my nephew. I'm mean -Dolly, he's a shamefully rich young man, my dear. Not that you would take that into consideration, you silly child, but he is just what we could have wished. for Louise; he's so fond of music too. I declare it's abOininable, and I wanted something entirely unique this time," went on Mrs Gardiner. "All musi- cales arealike-nowadays, and this of mine was to have been different. Mandolins and zithers we've all met, but Wollkauft' violin and Louise's voice you can't hear every day 1 And now, not a thing. to fill the blank. If only some brand new accom- plishment could be devised." Dolly Airas silent, her curly head bent, apparently lost in a dream, when ,Mrs. Gardner sighing out, " Well, such is life. I must go Dolly," made her look up, the color rushing into her face. "Mrs. Gardiner," --she said shyly, locking her hands together, a way she had when confused. "1 wish -I wonder how you would like-" and then she broke down. " Well, child, what is it ?" Mrs. Gar- diner was always good to Dolly, and the girl took heart of grace. - "Of course, as to the young mat 1 couldn't be any good," she began, hurried- ly, " and I'm awfully sorry he can't see Louise, but -but -if you really would like something different -why, you know I can whistle 1" Mrs. Gardiner looked down at the eager, flushing face, and for the first time thought Dolly Tarleton pretty, but laughed /IS she exclaimed. "Whistle, Dolly. -.what in the 'world do you mean, my dear ?" "1 know it sounds Silly, Mrs. Gardiner," blushed Dolly. " B.uti really if isn't so tiact -at least some people like it, and you said you wanted someting different. It is differ- ent, certainly." "It must be," laughed Mrs. _Gardiner. I don't think I ever heard a girl whistle. Isn't there some proverb about a whistling girl and a crowing' hen ' ?" " Oh, don't ! Mrs. Gardiner, dear," pleaded Dolly: "I've had that quoted at me so often. It may be 'queer but it's all I can do, and. I would like to help you if I could.". - " You're a clear little soul. How do you do it, Dolly, "Wait a minute ; 'I'll show yen," and Dolly sat down to the piano.. She was too unaffected and unconscious to be nervous, so she did her best while Mrs. Gardiner leaned back listening. Dolly had chosen an exquisitely pathetic air from Faust," which lent itself particularly well to being whistled, and as the last note died away Mrs. Gardiner cried delightedly : "Bravo, Dolly,.1 never imagined anything half se pretty. I didn't know whistling was like that, and you don't look badly when you clo it either." " Don't I, really 1' said Dolly with shin- ing eyes. " Do you like it, Mrs. Gardiner ? Do you think it will do? The very thing, I should say. I de- clare, Dolly, you will turn out accomplished Dolly laughed. "Dick Tarleton always calls me Miss -Cinderella.' ." Well, I'll be . your fairy godmother," said Mrs. Gardiner heartily. You shall dome, to my musicale tomorrow, and. if you do as well as you did just DQW, 1 prophesy a success." "You know -you need not introduce me to people," said Dolly, earnestly. "1 can stand bhind one of the big screens and they won't even know who its coming from." "Like Cinderella herself, you abused child. No, that's all nondense Dolly -but have you a gown ?" Dolly's face fell. " I'm afraid not," she -said. "Oh ! wait a minute -up at grand- father's the other day I was trying on some old-fashioned gowns -and there wits one such a dear -a little, pale yellow satin,avith short waist and puffed. sleeves. It belonged to grandmother, and is very like the things debutantes wear now -do you think _ it would do ?" "1 don't know," said Mrs. Gardiner, much amused. "It would be quite original, like your whistling, Dolly. Well, I leave that to you -you must find a . gown some- where.' "But mother and the girls," suggested. Dolly. "Do you believe they will let mp ?" "Nonsense ! tell them I said you must come," and Mrs. Gardiner hurried away, and as her carriage whirled off, her last words were, "Remember, Dolly, you are not to fail me 1" CHAPTER II. Dick Tarleton going up the Gardiner's staircase the night of the musicale met his three cousins. "My- eyes 1" he exclaimed. he had absolutely failed to redognize the fourth Miss Tarleton in her warpaint and feathers. - - " You don't mean to say it's you, Dolly,' he cried," as she smiled up at him saucily. "Yes, the very same. Dick, didn't you really know me ? "Not a bit ! Upon my word, Dolly, we Tarleton's always will be handsome -it musVcome out some day. What's bred in the bone,' -you know. Where did you get this ?" as he touched a soft fold of eller gown. "It's satin or 'something. Why, I Cinderella, how did they happen to let you out. - Did the pumpkin come for you ?" " Hush ! -W ait a minute -V tell you all , about it," said Day. But Her sisters hur- ried her away. Mis. Gardiner- off duty for moment, .met them in the hall, gave them a hasty greeting, -and sending Virginia and ; Marian into the room, claimed Dolly as a, performer. In reality she wished to review the child with her keen eyes, for if she was ; to do at all, Mrs. Gardiner wanted to make a sensation. " Well, Dolly, I don't know what you've done to yourself, but you certainly do look pretty," she said in her brusque way. " Oh, Mrs. Gardiner," said Dolly, as she was half led, half pushed to a long mirror, where the Dolly therein reflected was a revelation even to herself. Her, cheeks bad a tender color called into their brown by excitement her rough curls lay soft and cloudy upon' her forehead ; her eyes. were dancing, full of life and appreci- - ation. Her neck and arms were set off by Pitcher's Castoriaa the pale gleaming satin and. old lace, and the strings of amber beads about her throat She hada great fan thatshe fiMed and un- furled *lien she did not knovIr what else to do, and her frock, and her fan, and her feel- ings. generally had made another girl of her. " Dick, you will take your cousin said Mrs. Gardiner, and Dolly entered the room on the arm of her tall cousin. The pair made quite a stir, and everybody in- quired: " Who is that fa,cinating little girl with Dick Tarleton ?"' Mrs. Gardiner did not introduce her ex- cept to one or two fellow -performers in the musie-room, so Dolly got behind one of the big screens and took in her surroun.dings with delighted eyes. "What rugs, 9nd jugs, and candle lights," she said to herself,quoting a well - beloved nursery rhyme. She heard a quiet, amused laugh, and turned quickly to find a man at her elbow, She had never seen his face before'and she rather liked it -a somewhat lazy, dark faces with eyes which had a slightly sleepy look, . which belied them -for Alec Forbes, to use an old-fashioned phrase. could see quite as far through a :millstone " as his fel- low men. He had a good mouth, not hid- den by a short mustache, so that his smile helped his face wonderfully. "1 beg your pardon," he said, "for lis- tening to your soliloquy, but you ought not to quote other people's favorite authors if you don't want to be heard." Dolly laughed. • He was so quietly at ease that he put her there at once. "Favorite authors have a trick of being other peo- ple's," she said. An odd, satisfied expres- sion stole over the man's face, as if he had said, "Thank you, ,I expected you to say something like that," and it was quite true. Alec Forbes, leaning idly against the piano a moment before, looked up as Dolly came in, and walked straight over to her, drawn by the piquant, clever face as by a magnet. Her words, assahe peered through the screen, amused him, and, accustomed to do as he pleased, he spoke to her. He did not think shewould mind, and if she looked. shocked he Would tell her his aunt had in- cluded him in the introduction a few mo- ments before. "That is true," he replied. "It's a, pity one cannot put all rights reserved' on one's specialities." ' " Would you rather I didn't quote Ed- mund Lear ?' asked -Dolly politely. "On the Contrary, I aegard, it as an evi- dence of superiority on your part." "Really. I'm so glad. I don't think I ever gave any evidence of superiority be- fore:" "Perhaps people haven't been frank enough to tell you so," suggested the other. "People are not very frank in society, I believe," said Dolly.. "1 am to infer from_that, you've had a great deal of experience." "I!" Dolly was so amused at this idea -that she laughed outright. "1 don't know the first thing about it," she said. "Then you speak purely from hearsay ?" went on Dolly's friend, with his dark eyes full of quiet amusement fixecl on her face. Altogether," said Dolly. "I've 'never been in society in my life." "No!then might I make so bold as to inquire how you happen to be here to- night ?" " No," said Dolly, after ,a moment's thought, "1 don't think you may. "Not even guess ?" "It is not a conundrum," laughed. Dolly. "1 think it is, and that you are the answer." "Well, I am the. answer in _ a way; you aren't so very far wrong after all." "1 can easily find the answer by resort- ing to unworthy 'means." "How ?" inquired Dolly. "Looking at the programme," he return- ed quizzically: "Why do you think you will find me there ?" - "Because I think you play or sing, or do something?" Why ?" "1 never knew- anyone- ask so many, questions," he said in a 'quiet voice, appar- ently to no one in particular. "1 never knew anyone give so few ans- wers," returned Dolly. " ,clon't play or sing either." "Nor do anything," he continued. "Well, yes. "Are yoi going to do it this evening ?" " Yes -hush ! They're going to begin." Dolly was whisked away from her com- panion, who was, not at all pleased by this sudden desertion. He looked down at the programme, a trifle of white and gold, ,and scanned the list of names anxiously. He saw "Miss Tarleton" recurring often a familiar name to him, owing to his aunt's frequent mention of the family. " Little witch 1" he muttered, "A girl with a face like hers must do something. To be sure, she can talk, an accomplishment when it's done after her fashion." But his soliloquy was interrupted by a sound that was not a voice, nor a violin, nor a flute, that was - By jove ! it can't be ! it isn't a whistle ?" To say that everybody was surprised when a slip of a girl, in a quaint, old-fash- ioned gown which made' her look like one of Abbey's drawings, stood beside the piano and began, without any preliminary warn- ing to whistle, is to speak mildly. Slhe lookecl so unconscious'as if she had forgotten all about her audience, that the audience itself was half piqued. There was a buzz of applause as the last note died away, and Alec Forbes watched people crowding about the girl, askhsg one another who she was, or begging for an introduc- tion. He was not a man who cared to share his individual tastes with the multitude, so he only stood looking on, while Dolly talked pretty, broken Germane to Herr Wollkauft -who beamed benevolently upon her through kis glittering eye -glasses -or looked up with frank, clear eyes to reply to some newly presented admirer." "They will turn her head," he said. "People are such fools," and he was al- ready planning how he could carry her off to some pleasant cornet, where he could make her talk to him as she did a few mo- ments, since, without the interference of the multitude, when his aunt approached. " Now, Alec," she said, " this is not what I intend you to do at. all. No glower- ing in corners, if you please- sir. I know your tricks of old, and if you have your eye on any especial person, you may as well re- sign her to her fate, for I intend you to meet every one of the thirty individuals here." " Oh !" was the stifled -e-.eclarnation which Mrs. Gardiner fancied she heard. But she Was inexorable, and Alec Forbes was obliged to content himself by putting out his hand in congratulation as he passed Dolly, saying in a low voice, "You see, I was right ; you did do something after all." Each of us has some day his own brief hour of glory.Cinderella went to the ball at last, and 'one winter night, in the eighteenth year of her age, Dolly Tarleton was a belle. That it was a short lived triumph only made the memory sweeter. What booted it that Marian and Virginiatold her. " It made a girl ridiculous to talk continually to one man ; that, of course, -she did Whistle very well, but -it wouldn't do to get a repu- tation for that sort of thing? Men didn't really like a girl to be unfeminine. It had been awfully good of Mrs. Gardiner to ask her to take part in the musicale, but, of course, it was only a whim, and the less she thought of it the better." People. were beginning to ask the girls for that sister of theirs, and when question - Children Cry for Ree ed innocently as to whether they meant Lonion, Virginia or Marian, the reply was so fret-1'de ly, " No; the one who whistled so beau fully - at Mrs. Gardiner's," that, as it W uld not do at all for Deily to appear in pub c yet, she was sent off to her grand - lath r's. Bu1 still Dolly couldn't help :seeing, as she closed her eyes at night, the vision of a softly -lighted room, with brilliaatly-dress- ed people talking in a modulated. Fonfusion, and among them there always appeared. a tall, dark man with the kindest smile in the world. CHAPTER III. From her winter retreat in the country Dolly beard echoes of the gay world in her sister's letters and the ever recurring name of Alec Forbes. . They seemed to see a great deal of him, whieh was but natural, as he was the nephew of their best friend, al- though it does not happen that nephews are always so amenable to their aunt's - wishes. In this inslance, however, there was a happy combination of circumstances, and it was Soon taken for granted. that Alec Forbes was the property of the Tarleton girls, only yet not decided whether he belonged, especially to Louise, Virginia or Marian, "He is such a thoroughly first-rate fellow," said his aunt confidentially to Mrs. Tarleton. "People have called him a flirt, but - I don't think it myself. He is rich', good-looking, and he has been run after, but he hasn't really been spoiled, and he has the kindest heart in the world." Mrs. Tarleton sighed and glanced at two people strolling slowly through the square overlooked by the house. They were Alec Forbes and Virginia. The girl was all ani- mation and sparkle, her dark furs setting off her rich color. She looked -the beauty society had pronounced her. But Mrs. Tarleton would rather have seen her eyes pensive, downcast ,and demuregor the tall, lazy-rdoking fellow, with his hands behind him, certainly could not be telling a love tale to such a viviacious audience. Indeed, Virginia was planning an expedition into the country for some sleighing. The snow was delightful now, packed and frozen hard, and a party to the tarleton eountry house to stay a few days would be such' a lark-" doesn't Mr. Forbes- think so 1" And Mr. Forbes did think so, agreeing with more alacrity than was usual, and when he left Virginia at her door, declining her in- vitation to "come in for a cup of tea," he. asked her carelessly: " By the way, Miss Tarleton, where is your sister now -your youngest sister?" " Who ? Dolly? ,011 ! she is in the country with • grandfather," laughed Vir- ginia. "Dolly is a perfeet child -wedded to outdoor life. I dare say she coasting in rubber boots and red mittens this very minute." Alec Forbes' short mustache scarcely .hid his smile as he turned away. "Decidedly," he said to himself, "de- cidedly, Dolly has been sent to Siberia." The evening that Alec Forbes had spent in Dolly's company at the musicale was by no means the only time he had seen he. Mrs. Gardiner lost no;time in taking him to call upon Louise, and he had looked in vain for the fourth Miss Tarleton. „ Then he had boldly asked for her, and was told that she was out walking. He discovered that she always went for a walk on certain afternoons in the week. So Dolly was much Surprised at being joined in the square, in company with her beauti- ful grey -hound, by, Alec .Forbes, who said in the most natural way in the world : - "Why are you never on view m the after- noons when I come to see you ?" "1 didn't know that you came to see me," said Dolly surprised but not dis- pleased. . "Don't you know that I do not receive ?" "1 can't understand how, having once had the proclamation of emancipation read over you, you can go back to servi- tude." " Servitude 1" she exclaimed ; "its really freedom. Don't you think it's-eery-it/0e to have to pay visits, to go to teas, to dress for dinner, to bore yourself ili a hundred ways because it's society ?" He looked down at the piquant face be- side him with secret satisfaction. He de- lighted to make Dolly flash out like this. "Calling the same pastime," he said, "1 had a wild idea those were the things young women's souls hankered after." "Why do you take young women in the lump that way ?" she said resentfully. "Do you think we are ail alike ?" " I think there are certain resemblances, but every now and then one meets a start - 'ling anomaly." "A freak of Nature," suggested Dolly, smiling up at him. "Yes, or a return to the original type, the primeval woman." "An example of atavism," replied Miss Dolly carelessly. He looked suddenly startled. "Graci- ous !" he exclaimed. " Much learning, Miss Dolly." "Would you rather I talked.. in. words of one syllable ?" asked Dolly. "No indeed, no ! I beg your pardon, only you are rather unexpected, you know." "1 am glad to hear it," said Dolly, se- verely. "1 should hate to be just like everybody else." " You need not be afraid," he .said, toss- ing a pebble for "Max"to run after. They had reached the park. " I don't want to be eccentric either," she protested with charming inconsequence. "1 don't care to have people say, That queer Dolly Tarleton.'" Alec Forbes laughed, but his mirth had a ring of tenderness. "Let ane catch any- body saying it," he growled, his eyes abso- lutely wrathful, whereat Dolly looked ap- peased. It was rather strange that Dolly should not have mentioned this walk to her sisters. When he came again, however, to find Dolly alone, deep in a German translation, over which she accepted his proffered help, they did know it, and it was not long after this that Dolly's exile began. Mrs. Tarleton had consented to her daughters ,giving a house party, and so a gay bevy of men and maidens invaded her father's old mansion, driving from town in a great four -horse sleigh, whose bells and the voices of whose occupants were heard by an eager listener in an upper window long before their actual arrival. They literally took possession, and the sound of -light feet on the old staircases, men's voices in the halls, music in the even- ings, when the merry party come indoors from a loug day's sleighing or skating., trans- formed the quiet old house. But for the most part in all these festivi- ties Dolly "didn't Count." They begged her to whistle, however, and she did so to every one's delight. But Dolly was a shy plant that only blooms in a congenial at- mosphere, and there, where she was strictly " kept in her proper place," Alec Forbes, seeing her fill the part of "the Tarletons' little sister," could scarcely believe her the same girl. Once or twice he tried. to ap- proach Dolly, but she rather eluded him, and the old frank manner that existed be- tween them seemed suddenly and unac- countably to have disappc ared, But at last came a day when the party broke upaind drove over to the station. The train was late, and as it was heard to whistle afar off Alec Forbes, who _had been rather silent on the way over, turned to Virginia, saying: Mise Tarleton, I find I have left some- thing at the house, so if you do not mind I will go back and try to find it. I can take Pitcher's Castoria. AUGUST 24,1894. The Best Food For Children? is worthy every parent's study not only what they can eat, but what gives the most nop' rishment.

Louise and Virginia did not at all ap- prove of this, nor did the rest of the party, and suggestedetelegraphing and various other expeelients, but „Alec eventually got his own way.- " Alec Forbes is terribly spoiled," said Marian; "even Mrs. Gardiner must ack- nowledge that. When he has made up his mind its quite hopeless trying to change him." "Well, I rather like it," returned "1 like a man who knows his mind and will havehis own way." Dolly had Waited till the guests had all gone, leaving the halls deserted then she stole down -stairs, and calling her ;log, curled up in a deep chair by the fire, and with her hands idle in :her lap, gazed into the flames. Somehow, before very long, the fire grew misty and blurred, and there were tears on the interlaced fingers she put up to -screen her eyes. Alec Forbes, tramping through the snow, his head bent against the wind, passed, on his way frorn the gates, the window of the room where 'Wily sat, and looking in and seeing a slight figure in an attitude of utter abandon earls buried in the pillows of the big chair, hands locked before her eyes -his heart gave a great '.leap of happiness. He stood i!aesolute one moment, then opened the hall door very gently and en- tered. The. sound in the dim room Of Dolly's sobbing made a curious tightening come into his throat. She did not guess that her trOuble had a spectator until she felt an arin, about her and heard h vOiee that trembled from tenderness saying in her ear: " Dolly ! my darling ! my dear little girl! won't you let me comfort you ?" It was a hard struggle for Dolly Tarleton to yield, but some minutes afterward-, vhen she was striding in the window, with Alec Forbes' anin about her, her pretty brown curls against his shoulier, the greyhound won the day by coming up to her and put- ting both paws upon her dress. "Look, Dolly, won't you look up, dear- est ?" whispered a voice in her ear. "Even Max is -pleading for me: you can't resist him, can you ?" And Dolly, who was the shyest of sweet- hearts, took heart of grace to look up through her tears and say ; "'Max,' you ought to be ashamed of yourself." . " You didn't come just because you thought you had to love me -you did not ask me because -because I was such a goose just now ?" she asked eagerly. He_laughed softly. "You darling,", he said -;:a" yes, I really had to love you/be- cause-You were such a goose; you don't mind, do you? Why, Dolly, what must I say to satisfy your pride? I don't care in the least how abject' I am, now that I have 'you. Shall I kneel down here in token of servitude or anything like that ?" he asked, his eyes gleaming as he tried to see her face. "No 1" cried Dolly, "1 think you would look perfectly horrid kneeling." "Bravo 1 so do I. This is very much better.' "That's the last train whistling now," remarked Dolly inhospitably. "You're not going to send me away again, are you ?" "1 didn-t know," faltered Dolly, with the suspicion of a laugh in her eyes, "whether you ought not to go back - whether the other girls might not want you." "My dearest Dolly," he began with the utmost gravity, "if any other girls itt the world want me now - But Dolly, with a return of her old spirit, interrupted him. "They can't whistle for you any way," she said. [THE END.] Farewell! It is said to be an old story, this cif a ma/a named ])oherty, who was drilling with his squad of recruits in London. Doherty was nearly six feet two in height, and at that time the sergeant -major was a man whose height was only five feet four. On this day he approached the squad, looking sharply about him for some fault to find. All the men squared up except Doherty, and. the sergeant -major at once accosted him. "Head up there, man! called he. Do- herty raiae; d his head slightly. "Up higher, sir 1" The head was raised again. Then the ser- geant -major managed, by standing on his toes, to reach Doherty's chin, and he poked it higher. with the remark: "That's- better. Don't let me see you with your head down again." By this time everybody was interested at seeing Doherty staring away above the ser- geant -major's head, when a voice from above said, in a rich brogue: "Amrr I to be always like this, sergeant- maio"Yes, sir 1" "Then I'll say good -by to, ye, sergeant - major, for I'll uiver see yez again I" IMININIIIMEN01111Q SLEER4ESSNESS instantiY re- lieved and per- manently &red by the faithful use of CAMPBELL'S QUININE WINE.
