‘“I suppose she forgot to leave word

well, either; a cold I suppose, 1 know
I generally'taught cold at a party
when I was young and attended such
entertainments. I hope she’ll be
careful. Her poor mother died of
consumption.”
My heart gave a great leap. . ,
' I thought of Dolly ill, dying, even
dead, and I went out into the kitch
en to in$H Hie set vant if Dolly had
was only one bluo vase on the mantel.
I suppose the other had boon broken
but there were the profiles of Grand
ma and Grandpa Wheeler over the
esoritoiro.
Thoro was Dominie Wheeler, look
ing very much older, sitting exaotly
as he used to sit beside the table, his
red handkerchief over hiB knoes, a
cup of tea in his hands.
“Dolly,” he said.
And from an inner room, came a
woman, large, handsome and high-
colored, who said:
“Well, father?”
Could it he my slim young Dolly?
Yes, it was. She was very fine-
looking now, and sho looked so mat
ronly tljat, I .immediately concluded
that sho was Mrs. Isaac Robins.
Still. I could not leave the window.
“It was my own glimpke of her,”
I said to myself, “for years past and
for years to come.” '
“V$ell, father?”,she said.
An‘d turned smilingly toward him,
“I’ve been thinking it over, Dol
ly,” ho said. “I think it would be
best for you to marry. I am eighty.
I cannot Five long. You had better
marry M r. Brahanu He " is - Very
fond of,yoU. Yon like him, I am
sure. Is it for my sake you say
No?”
She bent.over him and' put hor
hands oh his shoulders.
“Father,” sho said, “I am going
to tell the truth, a thing a woman
seldom does in those matters. I
should not have to leave you; so it is
not for yonr sake, much as I, love
yon. But I do not care for Mr.
Branham, I have only cared for one
mail in nty life—my first, love James
Gardner. I sent him away from me
and he had done very wrong; but 1
think now that we both loved each
other. I know that, even now, I
cannot forgot him, and I novor shall
forget him while I live.”
There were tears in her eyes; sho
brushed them away. In another
moment 1 was at the door; sho open
ed it. I held out, both my hands.
Those were Dolly’s girlish eves that
looked at me and I caught hor in my
arms.
“I have come back to ho forgiven,
Dolly,” I said, and I saw that I had

Bill Arp on Women.
There is no record anywhere, in
any history, of a happy marred state
whero a man had more than one
wife. Lameoh had two, bub the
scriptures-say nothing more about
him. Adam didn’t have but one,
and Noah one, ami they started the
business of peopling the \Vcrl‘d. Old
Father Abraham had one, and wlioiS
he took aifrithor on the sly, old Aunt
Sarah got after him, and sho frailod
put the second one with a thrush
pole and run hor Ptf. Jacob find two
and if ever a iniin deserved two lie
did;bur. they didn’t' got along well,
even though they word stators. Mo/e
didn’t, have hut one. King David
■had‘several, but he was cursed with
them and actually committed mur
der to get one of them and lived in
anguish over after, for lie said, “My
sin is over before mo.” Old Solomon
must have had an awful time of it,
for he had a thousand, And’they ktiptj
him so hat‘rassod and bedeviled tliai'
he flow to his ink-stand and Wroitti
that he found one good mail, biYt a
good woman in a thohsahU lie ''had
(not found. Of course, not. Hbw
’could a woman be good when she
was only a thousandth part of a wife?
■But Solomon lppQniptl.pf his foils,
land it' was all vanity; and advised all
men to “live joyfully' with the wife
whom I lion lovost,” and to. “beware
of strnngo women.”.

When T was a young fellow I lived
on father’s farm, flown there'ii^Con-.
necticut. You've'. seen tile .place.
The church was near the tavern, and
behind the olinrchavas the pasbiiage;
and there lived Dominie; Wheeler
and his daughter Dolly. On Satur
days, after I had lmd my supper, I
jnsed to dress myself,.and tell my
uiother that I meant to call on Do
minie Wheeler’s folks. Mother
generally answered that 1 qould’t do
better; that the dominie’s converse
lion was sure to be improving, and
that Dolly was not “liiiydity, like
some gals she could mention.”
Father would add: “And a pretty
little critter, too.” And armed with
parental approval, I would go to the
parsonage.
