The adventure re quired considerable exertion, but was en joyable. Very resp. ctfully. I). F. MCKEK, Co. Sup't. DOLLY, THE_FLOWER GIRL. 'She has got a face like one of her own rosebuds,' sail Mr. Fi zalan. 'l've heard of her more than oncn.' returned Frank Calverlv. 'The prettv flower girl, people call lier. d mt tliey ? Old Frixham has doubled his custom since she came there!' 'And the. be«t of all,'added Fitzalan, with a lausli,'is that she quite conscious of her own attraction —a little country lassie, who thinks only of her business, and never dieams that she herselt is the sweetest flower of all the assortment.' 'Let's go in and buy a Marechal X:cl or three s>veet verbena leaves,' ssid Calv« fly. 'I should really like to see tl is modern Flora of yours.' Dorothy Pen field stood behind the counter of the florist's store, sorting over a i .1" < f fragrant blossoms which lav on a rav «.f d.itn;> srreen moss.— Trails of sinilax «vove their green gar lands up to the ceiling ; heaps of gold mid rose-pet iled buds lay in the win dow ; drif:-* of purple lie 1 i trope je r fun e 1 i i' a'r. nt.d wiiit • carnations lay li k" hi!!o,-k< of snow against the panes of tiie show window, while spikes of perfumed hvacinthsand tape jessamine tlung their subtle scents upon the air. And D"lly herself, with her round dimpled fice, pink checks and soli, brown eyes, exacilv the shade of the rippled hair, which was brushou simply buck from the broad, low brow, was a filling accessory to the scene. She looked up as the two gentlemen entered, and a soft crimson shadow overspread her lace for a second. •Have \ou yot one of my favorite button-h de boutj lets made up. Miss Penfield r" Fitzaian asked with a care% less bow and smile. 'I know,' said Dolly softly. 'A rose bud and a sp'ig of heather, and two or three mvrtle leaves—that is what von like. Xo ; I have noae made up present; but I can tie up a bouquet in half a minute, Mr. Fit/.alan.' •One f >r me, too, if you please,' said Calverlv, touching his hat. 'Just the same ?'

The gentlemen had hardly taken tin ir leave, when old Frixham. the florist, bustled in. with round, i l ed face, shining I - aid h ad, and an air of business all over him. •Im.'i it. time von had the theater bouquet.- ready ?' sai 1 he. looking crit ically around, and moving i glass of freshlv cut call is out of the level Hin sei beams w!u- !i fell, like a sheaf of golden glances, athwart the deep bow window.

'You promised me, years ago—' 'Nonsense !" said D illy, flinging the azaleas and piu*s about in fragrant con tusion. "I wat only a child then.' •But you have no right to yo back of your word, Dolly, child or no child.' 'I never promised, Johu.' 'But you let me believe that one day you would be ray wife. At d I've lived on the thought of it, Dolly, ever since. And if this citv situation cf jours should bri ak up my life's hope—' 'Don't hope anything about me, John!' brusquely interloped the girl. •Here, comes a customer. Please, John, dun't slaial there any longer, looking like a ghost!' At d honest heart-broken John turn ed iind went with heavy steps out to where the wagon stood and old Roan was waiting with down drooping and half-closed eyes. 'lt doesn't seem to me,' he muttered between his teeth, 'that there is any thing left to live for any longpr.' Dolly looked after him. 'l've almost a mind to call him back,' she said to herself, as she picked out a bunch of white violets for the new comer. •I do like John Deadwood; but I think he has no business to consider himself engaged to me just because of that boy-and girl nousensc. One's ideaß change as one gets on in life.' And Dolly's cheek was like the re~ flection of the jiitik azileas as she thought of Mr. Fitzalan and the tur qu >i-e ring that he had given her as a troth plight. And Mr. Frixham came in preseutly. •I've a note from the Sedgwick's on sth Avenue,' said he hurriedly. 'They always order their flowers from Ser vo"s's, but Servoss has disappointed them. They want their house deco rated for a party tonight. There's not a minute to lose. I've telegraphed to Bolton's for 4t>o yards of slimax and running fern, and 100 scarlet poinsettas; and I think we can manage the rest ourselves. You had better go at once. Miss Penfield, and plan the decoration —you've a pretty taste of your own— and I'll scud up the flowers with Hodges to help you.' And Dolly went, her mind still on the turquoise ring, with its band of virgin gold and its radiant blue stone. The Sedgwick mansion was a brown stone palace, with plate-glass case ments and a vestibule paved with orange and black marble. Mrs. Sedgwick, a stately matron in a W itteau wrapper and blonde cap, re ceived Dolly in the great drawing room. •On !' said she. lifting her eye-glass is; 'vou're from the florists, are you? Tell your husband to spare no ex pense.' •Mr. Frixham is not my husband,' said Dolly. • Your father, then.' 'But he isn't my father,' insisted Doliy, half laughing. 'He's no relation at all. I will tell him, however.' •Exactly,' said Mrs. Sedgwick. 'I desire plenty of white roses, as I am told they are customary at this sort of alfiir. It's an engagement party.' 'lndeed!' said Dolly, trying to look Interested. 'Between my daughter Clara and Mr. Al''red Fi zilati,' said Mrs. Sedgwick, with conscious complacency. Dolly said nothing, hut the room, its fluted cornices and lofty ceiling, seemed to swim around her like tho waves of the -ea. And as she went out, with Mrs Sedgwick still chatting about white rosebuds and begonia leaves, she pass ed the half-opciied door of a room, all hung with blue velvet, where a ties- d beauty sat smiling on a low divan, with Fitzilan lending tenderly above her. 'He has only been amusing himself with me,* said Doily. Tin e was a sha-p a lie at bar heart. At r all it was <> ily the sling of wo.nided pride. Tiunk heaven— oh, ilia :1; heaven, it was nothing worse than that! Honest John Deadwood was driving old Iloan stea lily and soberly along the pitch of wools, where the velvet m i-sed boulders lay like dormant basts of prey in the spring twilight, when a gray shadow glided out of the other -lia lows and stood at hi ' side. •John,' she whispered. 'Dolly ! it's never you?' •Y'es, John,' said the girl gently but steadily. 'l'm going back home with von.' 'God bless vou. Dolly!' said the young man. fervently. •For good and all. John, if you'll tako tie said Dolly, shyly. 'l've had quite enough of city life; and I'll help vou with In green-house, and I'll try and he a go. -.d little houyj keeper at hone. Shall I, John ?' John pat his arm aroaiid her and hugged her to his side. 'Darling I' said he huskily, 'it's 'most too god tie»s to be true: but it my word is worth anything you shall never grei your decision of this day.'
