DOILYMiD I.
M’hen I first started in life it was
in the very small establishment of
Mr. Brustle, stuti.inor.
It was not a very remunerative sit
uation, but old Mr. Brustle was a
kind old man, Mrs. Bru lie a nice,
talkative old lady, and 1> ly liru.-tlo
often came into the shop and stood
behind the counter beside me.
Dear little Dolly; she had br >wn
i yes, and a dimple on her chin, am!
she sang like a prima donna.
Old .Alt', Brustle an Imy f oh-r ha 1
been friends, and 1 was not a servant
ony, but a privileged friend ns well,
tind ad the excuse I needed for stay
ing eveiv night was given in the
words: ‘'l want to hear the sing,
mg.’’
Well, any one might have wanted
to hear it for that matter —not mere
ly a boy who was in Jove.
'filings went on in this a - v * l,r
three y< ai'3, when, one afternoon, old
Mr. Brustle, shut!imy the draws of his
dusk with a bans* said:
“It's no use, Tom. I may as well
give m. I'm not, making a penny,
and I shall break up the business. —
'Pile old woman and I can manage on
wliat I have, with only one child, and
1 cun re.-t and stop Ihlg, ting. 1 sup
pose Dolly can teach a little, too, and
she can have some finery in that way.
But the old simp is a mockery and
I’ve known it a good while.”
So that was ihe end ol that A:ca
dian time.
The stock and fixtures were sold
out and the shop was altered into a
parlor; and I wrote to my uncle in
London, who had protnisi and to take
me into business if I wished it, and
he telegraphed:
“Come next week.”
And then one day I asked D-lly to
walk down into the meadows, and see
if the b'ackbciries w< re ripe
We took two litt'c baskets and the
berries were hanging plump and
large and purple black; but before
we picked one I drew her to a qnn t
place tinder a great chestnut and put
my arm about her waist, and sad:
“Dolly, you know just how 1 fee!
to you, don’t you? You know 1 love
you ’’
She m stlrd r.p Io n e a little closer
and I took both her tiny hands in
mine.
Will you wait for me a little while.
Dolly ?” I said. “Will you think that
I am doing my best uli the tme to
bring the day nearer when I can ask
yov.r father to give you to me ? ’
“Yes, Turn, I’ll wait.”
And then wo picked the blackber

The evening passed swift'y away.
I arose to go.
“God bh s? you 1” raid the old man.
I pressed my lips to Dolly’s fore
head.
In that moment of parting the old
Iblka thought it oi lv natural.
And then 1 was gone.
My trunk had been at the station
for hours.
J heard the whistle ol the train; T
raw the red gkiro ol the monster’s
eye; I heard the snort and the tramp,
lie was ready lor me, and the city
and its whirl awaited me.
For awhile I was bewildered in the
city, then very busy, then Hushed
wifi the prospectot’ being rapidly
advanced, and of being aide to ask
D dly to become my wile sooner than
I cxpictcd.
I wrote lur joyous letters.
She sent pleasant ones back to me.
We did not make them open love
letters, but both understood the love
at tDo bottom of tli in.
And so the months glided by.
For the find half year I had no
holiday.
Then a grudgingly given week was
granted me, and I visit,cl my fr ends
and had a glorious time.
Body was lovlier than ever.
Rh • walked over to the .-tat .on with
me when I left leaning on my arm.

One, a stout gentleman ol 35,
dres-ed in fine style, having given
his pot tmanteau to a porter, advanc

“How do you do, Aliss Brustle ?’’
said he.
She held out her hand shyly.
“How do you do, Mr. Holly?”
Tom, this is Air. Holly. Mr. Holly,

He bowi and; so did I. But tVo fel

“Good by,” said 1, but I starred
at Air. i 1 ~ dly.
‘ You’ll be left Tom,’’, said Dolly.
I Du: rii tl away.

I thrust my head out of the win

Dolly was walking away on Air.
Holly’s arm, and his head was vciy
close to hers, veiy.
I made a (00l of myself the next
day.
1 w rot ? Dolly an indignant letter.
She wrote me a spirited answer.
I ih mantled an explanation us to
bow she came to know Holly in the
in xt letter; and before any answer
came to tins old Airs. L>rustic walked
into our place with her shopping bag
m her band one morning.
“I want you to take me to some
nice shop, Tom,” she said, “if you
can spare an hour or so. I'm going
to buy a black silk fur Dolly, and she
told me to tell you ud about it, as you
seemed to he upset.”
I asked the permission necessary,
and called a.cab.
Once within it the-old 1 >dy began:
“You seo Defy will need to be
dr. ssed handsomely. She Sturt?
next, month. It’s ail settled, you
know, between her and Mr. Holly.”
“S' til and!” cried 1.
“Yes,” said the old lady. “I knew
you’d bo pleased with her good luck
She was singing in the choir, and he
happened to go there to church, and
ho ask. and an introduction and got it,
and called the next day. _
“It’s very sudden, very; but she
wouldn't engage herself to him with
out our consent; and it’s such a fine
thing that we can’t refuse. So we’ve
consented.
“She'll feci homesick, no doubt,
away from us; but wo musti t think
of that. I try not to,” and th ii the
old lady put In r handkerchief to her
eyes.
“She told you to to tell me,’’ I said.
“Oli yesaid ihe old lady.
My heart was on lire, my blood
was boiling; but I made no sign.
“You stay in (lie city all night,
don't you ?’’ I asked.
She said she would and gave me
the number of her stopping place.
After the shopping was over I went
home and took from my trunk n little
pared i r letter-, a lock < f ... r -
The old ladv heard no sarCcsm in
my veil'.*'. /
“[ will I'om.” s-ha said; “and do
come to see us soon. Wo’ii be, lone
ly without Dolly.” _ .
So it was over; and ilie thing tlial
was most terrible to dream of had
fallen on me.
And Dolly wrote no letter and
made no sign.
It was as though she wercidoad,
and she was dead to me.
Of course I made no confidants,
and I worked as hard as ever.
The work of a wholesale woolen
house docs not slacken beeflise a
clerk is crossed in love or jiltm.
Bales and boxes and bundles wont
out, and camo in all the suite; and
wliat did it matter ii I looked pole
and list my appetite, so that I did
my figuring and writing and all the
rest correctly ?
But one day as I looked up from a
box I had b. cu marking, I saw a
sight that made me sick with rage. _
llolly and no one dse, with his
light side whiskers and li s glossy
hat and marvelous square shoulders.
He was talking to my uncle, and
appeared to be on intniate terms
wi li him.
I stood still and stared it him.
In a lew moments he siiv me, and
putting up his eye-glass hewed.
I made no bow in return
'J hen he came across the room.
“I don’t think its a misjake,”said
he. “I met. you at the siation with
Aliss Brustle.’’
“I remember,” I said.
“She’s very w'cll and in t little flut
ter, of course,” said he. I suppose
you’ve had lotteis?”
“Excuse me, I’m nehled else
where,” I said, and dashed away.
An hour after my uneb, coining
across to me, said, “Do you know
Holly, Tom ? He’s not a tad fellow
though a bit of a pappy. He’s made
a good deal of money in the theatri
cal line—manager and all- that you
know. Married a sort of a cousin of
my wife two years ago, so we re u
little sociable.”
“Is he a married man?” T asked,
“Oh, yes; why not?” said my mice.
“Uiiile flarrold,” said I, “you
must let me run up to Hamilton to
night. It is a life and death matter.
1 must go.’’
“What is the matter. Tom ?’’ said
my uncle.
“1 em't teil you, but 1 must go,” I
replied.
"Then yon must,” said my uncle.
“Don’t be longer than you can help.”
If be had but known how long ev
ery moment seemed to me, lie might
have spared me the warning.
I traveled on the night train and
reached the dear l.ttle brown cottage
when its windows were crimson with
the sunrise.
“Why, Torn !”' cried the old lady;
“so you thought you’d see our girl
off after all ? You know she starts
to -morrow.'’
Dolly and and not look at me, but I saw
her face flush crimson.
“I'm sorry to say that I have come
down to bring bad news,” said I.
“Bad new's ?” said Air. Brustle. “I
am sorry for that. What is it, my
hoy ?”
“It affects you, sir,’’ said I, “not
me. Yes, Dolly, it is true, and, ill as
you have used me, my heart bleeds
for you. I come only because worse
would happen if 1 were silent, and f
beg you to believe that I am actuated
by no spirit of revenge. You may
not credit me, but f wish that any
other man had this to do. Air. Holly
is, and has been for two full years', a
married man.”
I turned my face away from Dolly
as I uttered these words, and dropped
it upon the hand that relied on the
vine trellis.
I expected to hear, her scream or
see her faint.
But my news did not seem to pro
duce as great an effect as I expected.
1 looked up again.
All eves were fixed on me.
“Ah ?” said the old man.
“Weill” said the old lady.
“Goon, Tom,” said Dolly.
“His wile is a cousin of the lady
my uncle married,” said 1. “H you
don’t believe me I can offer proof of
the fact. 11 ois married.”
“Of course; I knew that,’’ said
Dolly. Ilis wife is qu;ta a celebrat
ed contrulta.”
“Know that he was a married
man?” said I. “I don't understand
yen. What can this mean?”
“And it’s a great deal nicer for
Dolly,” said AH'. Brustle. “Mrs.
Holly and she will-be together.”
I stared from one to the other.
“Mrs. Brustle,” said f, “what did
you ted me when you came to Lon ■
don? I understood you that Do'lv
j “Why, Tom, i have engaged to
travel with him ns one of a qnartctc
company that ho had just formed. A
foreign gentleman and our tenor at
church, Mr. Motley, and Mrs. Holly
and I; and shall make a great, deal
of motiev, and—oh, Tom, that’s why
you sent back my letters.”
I opened my arms and Dolly ran
into them, without thinking of the
old folks.
“What a miserable wretch I have
been for the last live weeks,” said I,
And Doily began to cry upon my
shoulder.
“You see how it is,” said I to Mr
Brusile. “I’m not rich, but I love
Do ly dearly, and if she'll take me as
; 1 am, I shall be tlio happiest fellow
j under the sun. And lor heaven’s
| sake Dolly, don’t mind breaking your
| engagement. Stay at home and sing
j to us- I don’t want you mining about
the country, no matter how time!)
money you make by it.”
So tiie engagement was broken;
and though my unde said it was i_m
prudent, Dolly and I were married
that winter.
Land Pirates and their Swindles
The Atlanta Constitution of Sun
day week contained a lengthy and
interesting article upon “land pirates
and tueir swindles.” In referring to
I the communication which appeared in
jibe Hawkiasville I>i-patch from Mr.
John W. Griffin, the Constitution
says:
Mr. Griffin -is of the opinion that
the blanks ot these forged plats and
grants arc printed in or near Atanta,
the seal of the state counterfeited and
attached, the different deeds to cor
respond executed, and the whole sub
jected to the action of chemicals to
give them the appearance of age.—
We would state in l his connection
that Colonel N. C. Barnett, the Secre
tary ol State, can easily detect these
! forgeries, and tie has been called up
on several times lately to give his
opinion. 'When necessary, he is pre
pared to issue certificates to those
who may desire the protection of such
a document. Whenever there is even
a shadow of a doubt as to the genn-
I inen- ss of ) lots and grants and titles,
iho doubtful instruments should be
forwarded to the Secretary of State,
so that those desirous of purchasing
may be protected, and tnat the crime,
if any is conlemplatsd, may be -fixed
| upon the proper persons. Under the
proclamation of the governor it be
comes the duty of Mr. Griffin to cause
the immediate arrest of the agents
within reach in order that the expos
ure he has made may be followed up
by the swift administration of justice.
All tiie evidence shows that the swin
dle is an extensive one, and it is st 11
going on. As an expert in the de
tection ot forged plats and grants
and titles Mr. Griffin may make it
profitable to himself, and do a good
work for the state by running down
these swindlers and lodging them in
jail. There may be further develop
ments in Atlanta before long. If so
the readers of The Constitution will
be placed iu possession ot the facts as
early as is consistent with the success
ot tiie effort to bring the whole mat
ter to light and those concerned to
account.

slio isn't very pretty
(So says my lady friends)
Hlie is neither wise nor witty
With verbal odds and ends.
No fleeting freaks of fashion
Across her fancy run,
. She's never in it passiou—
Except n tender one.
Her voice is low and cooing;
She listens more than speaks,
While other's talk of doing.
The duty near she seeks.
It may he bnt to burnish
'1 lie sideboards scanty plate,
Or but with bread to furnish
The beggar at the gate.
And though at her with pitty
'Die city daiues may smile,
Who deem her hardly pretty
And sadly out of style;
To me she seems a creature
So musically sweet,
I would not change one feature—
One curve irom crown to feet.
And if I con'd be never
Her lover and her mate,
I think I’d be forever

He drew his breath with a gasping sob,
With a quivering voice be sang;
Buthis voice leaked out, and could not drown

He faltered on lower D;
And foundered,at length,like a battered wreck
Adrift on the wild, high C.

Jerked thro’ the slush and dragged thro' the

Drawing the gaze of each passer-by,
Now tattered and spattered—

Cure for Rattlesnake Bite-
While in Arizona a few years ago
I learned that aqua ammonia was a
sure cure lor the bite ol a snake, and
since then I have cured three cases
ol rattlesnake bites without any diffi
culty or injurious effects whatever.—
First apply a few drops of ammonia,
and in a few seconds wipe, off, and
with a sharp knife cut through the
skin just deep enough to bleed, about
a quarter of an inch in length and
directly through the wounds, and im
mediately apply ammonia, and occa
sionally add a drop or two more as
it In comes absorbed or evaporated,
and in a couple of hours the swelling
will be nearly gone. Apply a drop
of carbolic ac and to cauterize the
wound and prevent a leeal sore,—
Give ten or fifteen drops of ammonia
in about a half pint ot whiskey, ta
king about a wineglassfnl every five
minutes; but cease giving the whis
key as soon as the patient begins to
foil its effects. Water will do il
whiskey is not at hand. The ammo
nia taken internally destroys the
poison in tho system. When I am
hunting or traveling where there are
many rattlesnakes I carry a small vial
ol ammonia and carbolic acid. —For-

of which had 1 boon vouched for.
“Editors,” ho said, ‘Mike other

a story of an editor who started a

his next issue did contain the
promised “smasher,” which did not
