"I supposo I must call. Elovnn o'. clock. The old gentleman said I wn9 hot to 6tantl upon ceremouv. so I'll run down to,day. It Is dismally loncsomo hero, and somebodj said tho Lawlor girls wero the belltsof tho pl.tce. Who was ,c tout mo mat Julia Lawlor was tho hello of Ktnlitown, and that Dully was tho nicest llttlo thine In tho world? I'll go do'wn and prove tho assertion." All this in soliloquy, ns Mr. Thomas Uardell donned his daintiest walklni? dress, drew on hla lavender kids, put on his glqssicst silk lint over his crop of curly hair, nnd surveying his hand some, faultlessly attired self In tho long mirror, saiucu form. Rushtown v.asa collodion of country seats, a uiilu from a populous borough, nnd the Uardell placo was one of tho most stately of tho many superb houses of which it was composed. Thomas uardell, my liero, was tho nephew of the late owner of tho Uardell Placo, and upon tho death of that gentleman hnd Inherited his entlro pruperty, greatlv to his own amazement Sir. Julius Uar dell, deceased, having quarreled with every relation ho had in tho world, and announced his intentlou ot leaving every dollar to a charity. That ho did not, but relenting, mado a will In his nephew's favor, brought Mr. Thomas Uardell frum a colleso In Germany, where ho was finishing his education,- to Rushtown. Ho was twenty-four, an ornhan. handsome, and talented, and had some private fortune before his uncle's death. That ho was unspoiled, modest and one wlio licld all women ns llttlo lower than tho angels, may bo attributed to tho tact mat no nail a mother who was a truo christian Indy, who loved hltu, and wiiose death, when ho had lust attained manhood, was tho heaviest sorrow of his life. Rushtown was an unexplored coun try to my hero, hut Dr. Lawlor being the only physician In tho placo, his resi dence was easily found. J. no hall door stood open, the parlor door also was stretched Invitingly wide, and after vainly waiting for his ting to bo answered, Air. liardell stepped lu slile the vestibule. A voice, high nbovo his head, and in tho fiarlor, called: "Tom, is that you ?" The speaker, Dolly Lanier, whoso namo, be It hero recorded, was Mitble, hut who had been called Dolly from her cradle, being at tho top of a high step ladder, scrubbing' the paint over a French window, hoard a voice say: "It is Tom, certainly." "Hand 1110 my soap, that's a good fellow," said Dolly, from the lufty perch where slio was seated, facing tho back windows; "you know I am afraid tu look down or turn around on the ladder. I am so suro to get giddy." "Where Is the soap?" came in a voice muflled in laughing. "Close down by tho ladder, whero It has Just dropped. Don't daro to laugn at me, sir, for I nm in the depths ot af fliction. Papa has invited tho heir of that splendid Uardell Placo to diop in without ceremony. Did you ever, and wo Just in tho mlddltj of spring clean ing? So I Iclt Jane to linlsli up stairs, and came down myself to make tho par lor decent. There toes my brush ? Hand it up, that's a dear. Tho brush was handed up, Dolly, not daring to take her eyes from a level, al ready feeling her head spinning with giddiness, "Wo can't bo grand, of course, and tho house will look mean miough utter liardell Place, but we can bo clean," she continued, scrubbing vigorously at tho paint. "And you know, Tom, he is sure to fall In lovo with Julia, and It is such n splendid chance for her, poor dear. Shu does bo hate pur economies. She has gnno over now to Mrs. Simp son's to tlnUh her hlue muslin, and alio can't help clean, because it' will spoil her hands, nnd they are so pretty. Ju lia Is lovely iu blue, because her skin its t.o fair, if her hair and eyes are dark. Sho will be perfect when she Is rich, Tom, I hope shu will have him, and papa and I cau Jog along forever, Wo don't mind cheap things as poor Julia does. There I That pilot can't be nny whiter. I'm coming down, nnd you can move the ladder to tho other win dow for me, Tom," Hut cautiously descondiug tho ladder, Dolly only caught a fleeting glimpse of a tall figure out at the gurdeu gate, "Well," slio said, tugging at the heavy ladder, "If Tom was In Midi a hurry that ho could not move the lad der, ha might at leitat have waited to say good morning." Tlieu, being the sweetest tempered of woman, tliougii merely a passably pret ty girl, Dolly ascended the ladder nifitln, and soon torgnt Tom's rudeness In the absorbing duties shu had undertitkeii. In the meantime, Mr. Thomas Uar dell, shaking with laughter, wniideil Ids way hoaie warJ, Inwardly deter mining to make his next Mil uDr. Lswlur's whin Miss Dolly was lisfW groused iu the las): of. cleaning paint, aud the dlftll-ulty of maintaining her equilibrium.

The next call made by the heir of the Uardell Place found the parlor shlnlug with cleanliness, Miss Julia Lawlur, a really beautiful girl, arrayed in th blue muslins at thu p,.inn, .ma D.jlly, ul-io in bluu uiusJlu, uittiuj.

Fur a wonder tho doctor rcmeiut bercd tho fact, and the "Lawlor girls" wero arrayed to receive their guest. Dolly,, In a half an hour, decided tliat slio liked. tljo new comer very much In deed, iinil that he would make a very nice brother, when lie fell in lovo witli Julia, nnd married her, as nt couiso lb was his manifest destiny to da'. 'For Julia really Is lovely," thoucht unselfish llttlo Dolly, "and when hu hears her "sing, he ruusfjoso his heart." Apparently tho.slnging was as power ful a magnet as Dolly supposed it would be, for scarcely n.day or evening pass ed that Mr. Uardell did not drop In. Tom Lawlor, tlio doctor's nephew and student, declared Uardell to be a first rate fellow, and was always bringing 111 in home to toa. Then tho garden ot tho Uardell Placo, ns summer came on, offered niot tempting opportunities for. the presentation of bouquets to tlio fair ladles at Dr. Lawlor's. To be sure, Thomas Uardell did not know that Ju lia's sliaru always ndorned the parlor, while Dolly cried overher's in her owii rqotu, and sometimes proiscd ther roy lips upon the card of tuu donor. Silly little Dolly I ' For sho knew Mr. Uardell was falling deeper aud deeper iu lovo with Julia.

That pic-ulo I Somehow it pressed itself upon! Dolly's mind that Thomas Uardell was couti-mplating a proposal on that Juno, day, when ho was to play host to all thu people of Rushtown. She could not havo told why sho thought so, nor why sho resolved to ask: "papa" for permission to visit her aunt iu New York for a few weeks. "Just' to give tlicm a chance to be alone," shu thought, and wondered what made her heart throb so very painfully at tho Idea. Sho mado Julia look liko an exqulsltu plcturo by wreathing field daisies under the rim of chip hat, aud fastening bee soft white laeo at the throat with a bunch of tho same Mowers. Then sho dressed herself rather hasti ly, having curled her sister's hair,, and otherwise made n Cinderella ot herself, Shu heard nothing yf tho dismayed! exclamation lu her father's study ot : "Uut bless my scul, Uardell, I can't spare her!
