of which it was composed. Thomas

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

'Tor that Inusthavo been Mil Dolly,

hair, though I could not see her face."
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

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

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

And lie ro the blundering, kind-hearted
