At 12.15, therefore, just fif¬ teen minutes be¬ C*LZ fore it was neces- ■ sary to start, the wagonette was, by Mrs. Carnegie’s orders, at the door, the baskets put in, and Mrs. Carnegie in the breakfast room worrying her sister, Mrs. would Mainwaring, by assurances that the girls make them late, as usual. “Dollie was ready half an hour ago,” said Mrs. Mainwaring. “I saw her in the hall.” ‘'Dolly is not going with us. I don't often take her ovt. It wouldn’t be fair to the two others.” “But it is not fair to Dollie to leave her so much at home. She has not gone out with us once since I came.” “Don’t distress yourself about Dollie; she is quite haopy.” "she"make i “How does herself so?” “Oh! I don't know. AVe are going to be so late.

There is such a thing as getting tired of garden- ing and feeding the chickens.” “Yes, I know, but that hasn’t hap- pened to Dollie yet, and you see going out is so much more important to the other girls. Just think, Evie is twenty- fci.x and Agnes is oniv a year younger.” \ “But Dollie is twenty-one.” “An age when amusement is not un¬ palatable.” I must, do “My dear, you worry me. ivy duty to the eldest—but I wish they would come.” “Ana while you are marrying them Dollie will marry herself, and probably uot to your liking. In a fairy tale she would fall in love with the gardener, who would, of course, be the king’s son in the ample and effectual disguise of a shabby coat and cap; in real life, she may perhaps give her poor little affec- tions to some photographer from Glas¬ gow, who is talcing a holiday at the ‘Biue Bonnet. ’ )> “Oh, Cecilia! Dollie is not a girl of that kind. She is as good as gold, and perfectly bidable, and she shall go everywhere when Evie gets engaged. Has it struck you that Sir Philip is in love with Evie? I am almost certain that girls! he it, and I am delighted. Oh, here the come. How charming they both loofc l” Mrs. MainwariDg, who had so lately seen Dollie in her plain morning dress, locking like a sweet flower refreshed by ths dews of heaven, did not particularly admire the two tailor clad girls who were playing at being in the country. They were pretty, but worn out and faded by a long London season, and yet they had only come North to recover strength to go through another. They had no liking for scenery unless it were accompanied by a large amount of human interest, and while they trod the heather pined to have the London pavemeDt beneath their feet again and London shops before their eyes. “And what have you been doing this afternoon, Dollie?” asked Mrs. Mam- waring at tea time. Dollie blushed (her aunt thought be¬ cause it was so unusual for anyone to take any interest in her employments), and said, “sketching in the gien, aunt.” “And you bad a dull little luncheon all alone by yourself, in that great din¬ ing-room?” “No, I was working so hard that I could not spave time to come in. I ate all the bread I had taken with me to rub out with. I wish you would come to the glen, aunt; it is so pretty." “Dear child, I am much too old to scramble. Alay 1 sec your sketch?” Dollie brought it. Her mother looked Rt it, too, and was startled at its merit. “Why, Dollie!" she exclaimed, “yon have improved left-hand wonderfully is excellent.” 1 That bjt in the corner \ Again Dollie colsred. “I had some ‘‘In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abound.” SYCACAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., MARCH 31, 1893. heip there, mother,” she said, '•'•an artist who comes to the glen sometimes—” “An artist, Do'lie! What do you mean?” “I mean a gentleman, mother. He strayed in by accident three weeks ago when I was there painting. He has of¬ ten been to work there since, and when¬ ever he comes he gives me really beauti¬ fully hints. He has taught me—” Here her mother's attention was dis- traded by a servant with a message, and Mrs. Mainwaring finished Dollie’s sen¬ tence for her, “to color, my dear, yes, I see that he has taught you to do that l” She was not, however, looking at the sketch, but at her niece’s rosy cheeks. “Ho gives you hints about your paint¬ ing, you say?” continued Mrs. Carnegie, who had seen nothing of this. “Yes, mother,” replied Dollie, rising to escape as quickly as she could. “Take care that he is not teaching her how to fall in lore, said Mrs. Main war¬ ing. child! No.” “That “That child I Yes! Be quick and stop it.” “I will—I really will. Just now it is hard to attend to anything but Erie and Sir Philip, but when that business is settled Dollie shall always be with me. Did you see how ho watched Evie at luncheon?” “No, I tnought he was rather vexed or disappointed about something." “I hope not. Evie may perhaps have been making some of her stupid speeches. But he loves her, I am sure 1 I am so happy about it that I am not able to think of anything else.” “So it seems,” thought Mrs. Main- waring ; so she spoke to Dollie herself and gave her much good advice. From Dollie she learned that the landscape painter’s name was Fleming, that he was young, good-looking and clever, lived in Edinburgh, was quite a gentleman, and not at all the kind of man that Aunt Cecelia seemed to imagine. I Two days afterward Aunt Cecelia was ra ^ er unexpectedly summoned home, but be ^ nre n om 3 s ^ e again spoke to her 31ster about tbe danger of allowing DoIlle to sit f( ? r bours sketching in the S^ ea- Being informed that Dollie had beea forbidden to go there, Mrs. Main- wann S advised her sister to assure her- self that Dollie had understood and was obeying this order.

Carnegie was sufficiently recovered to tit a new heroine into the romance in which she was so much interested, she sent out emissaries in search of Dollie. No one could find her, until at last an under¬ gardener, being much pressed by Mrs. Carnegie herself, said, with evident re- luctance, that Miss Dollie might, per¬ haps, he thought, be painting in Lady- well Wood. To reach this wood a cornfield had to be traversed, and just as Airs. Carnegie was half across it she saw Dollie in the distance, bidding farewell to a gentle¬ man with a sketching bag on his back. The unhappy lady stopped short in hor¬ ror. “This must,” she thought, “be that odious artist Cecelia Alainwaring was so afraid of. How can Dollie dare to see him, when I have forbidden her?” ' “Dollie,” she exclaimed, “this is shameful! I have been trusting you all this time, and you, it seems, have been breaking your word I” “Oh, no, I have not! I have not been near the glen, and I have never se3a Mr. Fleming uutil this morn ing 1 Don’t look like that, mother, I am speaking the truth, I was on my way to tell you all about it.” “Tell mo nothing of that kind! I want to know nothing.” “But you must kuow, mother—you will be forced to know. Mr. Fleming lias a3ked me to marry him, and I have said I will.” “You have I Well, girls do stupid things, sometimes; but the sooner you undo this the better!” “Ah, you are angry because you still think that he and I have heen deceiving you,” said Dollie, tenderly “but, mother, we have not. We really have not seen eacn other since you spoke to me, until to-day, and how he found out where I was sketching I don’t yet know." “Apd you never will. You will not see him again.” “Oh, but let me tell yon how it all happened and you will see how different everything is from what you imagine. He came to Ladywell Wood—I could not refuse to say a word to him once he was there, could I? Besides, I think he came on purpose to ask me to marry him. “Say no more about that, Dollie, it only vexes me. You must have known that you would never be allowed to do it.” “Mother,” Dollie began, but her voice failed her. “Make no appeal to me, Dollie. I am sorry for you, of course, if you care, but you won’t care long. Be a good girl, and do your best to dismiss thi9 from your mind at once and forever, and go to your room now and write and tell that man that you intend to do so.” “Where is Dollie?” asked Mr. Car¬ negie when he and Sir Philip came. She was here a few minutes ago, but she has been sketching in the sun, and it has been too much for her. She had to go to bed with a Rightfully bad head¬ ache.” “Then I shall not see her unless I stay till to-morrow,” said S:r Philip, after expressing much sympathy. “Oh, j?ou must not do that—you must not offend your uncle, besides, Dollie may not be well enough to see you to¬ morrow.” Sir Philip sighed woefully. will “She is not seriously ill. If you take my adviee you will go to-day, as your uncle wishes; you will stay at Glen- findie as long as he stays—I think you said he would be there a month—and when you have done that you will do us the great pleasure of seeing you back here. Don’t distress yourself about see- ing Dollie. It is much better that you have not seen her. You would not have been able to get her to say what you wish without a great deal of persuasion certainly not in one day—even if she had been well. She has not the slightest idea that you care for her, and she is very shy and timid.” Sir Philip departed, and Air. and Mrs. Carnegie repaired to the study to write to Mr. Fleming. Their daughter, they said, might have been temporarily led away by persuasion, but now saw, a3 any one with any judgment must sue, that a marriage with him was out of the question. They enclosed a letter from her which would inform hiin of the true state of her feelings, and trusted that he would see the propriety of leaving the neighborhood at ones. “But can yon get her tp write that letter?” asked Air. Carnegie. “Oh, yes,” replied his wife, and went to Dollie’s room, which she did not leave until she had succeeded. Two tears had fallen on Dollie’s paoer while she was writing. Mrs. Carnegie had seen the blisters which they raised, but Dollie had suffered so cruelly while writing the leter, that it was impossible to insist on her making a clean copy. So it went with its blisters to Fleming and strengthened his conviction that Dollie was acting under coercion. He wrote to her, but his letter was re turned by Air. Carnegie unopened, with the words, “You have had your dismis- sal from my daughter, and you have had it from me. I request you at once to leave this neighborhood. will Should you persist in remaining, request.” steps be taken to enforce this Fleming became desperate, and being powerless in other ways, called the wis- dom of the serpent to his aid, and wrote. “I find it so hard to believe that your daughter’s mind can have changed so suddenly that I entreat you to let me see her alone for ten minutes. If you per- mit this, and she then speaks as she has written, I give you my word of honor as a gentleman to accept her decision as finat, and to leave this place at once.” “What a nuisance the man is!” ex- claimed Mrs. Carnegie. “Vile shall have to let him come bir Philip returns next r ? c~rthe a ° f thl “ S S o ° n ” So, with great reluctance, Mr. Came- gie replied, “Since you refuse to believe the truth, and insist on giving my daugh- ter 12, this pain, you herself may come to-morrow tell at when she will you what her wish is. You may see her for ten minutes, but her family will be pres- sent.” * “But he is a gentleman, thought Mrs, Carnegie, when Fleming entered the room where she, her husband and their two eldest daughters were assembled to receive him. Air. Carnegie felt Dollie’s hand trembling on his arm as he led her down, and had at last to support her lest her feet should fail her altogether. At the drawing room door he kissed her and said: “Be brave, darling, it will soon be over You could not have married him; but I will own that he is better looking than I expected.” “Is he?” she exclaimed eagerly. “Are you quite sure that you would never have said yes?” “Quite! Stick to what has been agreed on, and let us get quietly over it.” AU eyes were fixed on Dollie as sue came in, looking pale, ill and scarcely able to staud. No one spoke—all waited to hear ths words that were about to be said. How would that faltering, frightened girl get through her set speech? They had expected that all that was about to be said would be said with- in range of their hearing, but Mr. Fiem- ing went to meet her, and then turned to the family group and said: “As this interview has been permitted entirely to satisfy me that Mis? Carnegie is acting in accordance with her own wish, yon will not object to my taking her to the other side of the room. It will not be a private interview even then, but if we cau exchange a few words unheard I shall be more able to accept them as final.” Something in his manner terrified Mrs. Carnegie. What wa3 he saying? What might not he be trying to persuade thing Dol- lie to do? She was a weak little —they ought not to have afforded him this opportunity, for the girl who had yielded to her parents, when they had asked her to do what was contrary to the'wish of her heart, might yield to her lover when he asked a reverse. “Charles,” she whispered, “we have been fools to let him see her! Who—” “Do be quiet, my love,” said Mr. Carnegie. “It can’t be helped now.” Buthe was sitting, watch in hand, long¬ ing as much as she aid for the ten min¬ utes to come to an end. Fleming was talking so serious and Doflie listening so intently. “Time is up!” Mr. Carnegie ex¬ claimed, almost joyously, as he put his watch in his pocket, Then he half crossed the room and said: “Dollie hare you told this gentlemen by word of mouth what he refused to believe when you wrote it?” “She has told me all I want to know," said Fleming. “Thank you, sincerely, for alio wing me to see her. Thank you also for insisting on being in the room with us, for I have something to say which requ’re3 the presence of witnesses, Before those here assembled I declare this woman to be my wife. Now, Dollie, speak!” And before any of the unwill- ing witnesses had recovered from the shook of hearing these words, Dollie had faltered forth*; “I declare this man to be my husband.” “What does this mean?” cried Mr. Carnegie, who knew something of Scotch law. “It means that we are married! Don’t be anxious about your daughter’s future. I am not a Lord of Burleigh, but her home will be one in which we can re- ceive you if you will come.”—London Biack and AVhite. WISE WORDS.
