WIGHT. jtOJC* HERE was the usual nam5# b^r of summer guests at ' O O Gull's Head. jf A K Granite Cottage?a long, Swrr low, old-fashioned building?stood a few rods from the hotel, and accommodated about thirty guests, of whom Dorothy Stretton was one. Dorothy was at Gull's Head with lier father and a widowed aunt, who acted as chaperon. People said she was the gentlest, loveliest girl they ever knew with her fri -nds and with the unfortunate, and thf t she was like ice for coldness when shi! chose to be. Oscar .Dinsmore, who bad followed tier to Gull's Head,, was boarding at .the Excelsior House. He was considered a "capital fellow" among his associates; he spent money freely, owned ? a yacht, drove a handsome pair, was ; ^ witty, accomplished, aud had been , nearly everywhere. 9 This man, who had been flattered ? And courted enough to spoil most men, was in love with Dorothy, and she was j V not indifferent to him, though she enV r deavored to be. He was too bold a lover to be daunt- J -ed. however, and so, one lovely night. 1 .when a pale young moon swung low & over the solemn sea, and the sound of J I tripping feet mingled with the throb 1 | of viol and cornet in the hall, he I iwrapped a shawl about her, drew .her ! g out upon the balcony, told his .story g as he alone could tell it, passionately 1 I -and tenderly, ?.nd waited for'her reply, scarcely doubting what it would be. J He gazed at her in amazement when ! the girl's sweet lips syllabled softly: 1 "No." 1 "Dorothy! I would have .sworn that 1 you loved me. I know you to be above trifling with the honest love of any man!" he cried. ' L^I think it; will make you angry, but 1 roust speak, much as I value your friendship. I refused your offer tonight, Mr. Dinsmore, because I know ^at you are frittering away a splendid [ manhoo'd, and God does not put us into the world to cultivate the meaner part 1 of our natures. It is an actual sin for a man of your ability and means to drift with the tide, as you are drift- 1 ing." The low vibrant voice died away 1 upon the cold night air. Oscar stood before her in confounded ' silence, a hot flush burning his brow. ? ' And through this thought was the ' uneasy consciousness of his own short- 1 comincs. He collected himself with a sudden ! * effort, and smiled with cold courtesy as he gave her his arm. I "Miss Stretton is pleased to be criti- \ p Krai," he observed. "But even blame from her own lips is au honor. Shall 1 we return?" ? '"I knew you would be angry with ; tr.e." she said, wistfully, just before 1 i they entered the hall; "but I have spoken only the truth. Your future lies in your own hands." For weeks Oscar avoided Dorothy, and livec. i>o recklessly that he became ' #he talk of all the people at Gull's -^JHead. Day by day the girl saw him whirl- .

Uio. aiuucj , kjl ucaiu ma \ uac in reckless laughter as he bettecl in the bowling alley or billiard hall; and % not infrequently she saw by his flushed face and unsteady eyes that he had fceen drinking too freely ] Dinsmore never missed an expression on the fair, pale face when she was ^ Fjififuin sight, although he scrupulously Avoided speaking to her. He took a ^Bai?ort of savage deiight in his reckless frourse,tand in the grave sorrow of the jpirl's eyes, and all the while his *ove for her grew stronger and stronger in feis heart. The summer was ended. The first of the September days had come, and Dorothy's party were preparing to return to town. The girl had suffered a new experience, for the pain was too deep for uninterested eyes to read. V |n tho' six years which followed, it was a mystery to Dorothy's friends M why she did not marry. Suitors she lia J in plenty, and admirers who would g^^sarc wooed her had they dared; but HjMDoi'othy, to all appearances, was in\*uijflKSpPu was during the winter after her H^lwenty-sixth birthday, thzt she, in com pany with her father, was traveling W Nu England, and the fame of the great surgeon, Doctor Dinsmore, came to W their ears. People flocked to him in W i scores; his operations were wonderful, and his sympathy and generosity soruething to be t< Id of by the destitute and S^^auffering w th tears and blessings. A rapturous hope thrilled through I Dorothy's heart when she flrat heard j of him. She remembered that Oscar j had told her of studying medicine and surgery, although he hud never prac- j ticed?but then, Diusmore was a common enough name. Oh. if it were only he?the man whom she had never forgotten! They met at last, at a reception. It was her old-time lover, grown a trifle broader, his<lark hair slightly sprinkled with gray, the gay insouciance of look and manner gone, and in its place a gravity and dignity which relaxed at times into a genial pleasauiry that was irresistibly attractive. He came to her soon. There were spectators all about them, but they only saw two old friends meet with a handclasp and a smile; they never knew what the souls of the man and sroman said to each other in that brief jlance. Dorothy went home from the reception in such jubilant spirits that her father wondered mildly what had come >ver his quiet daughter. But he understood when Dr. Dinsmore called the nest day and nrtide a formal proposal for Dorothy's band. "So this accounts for your refusal of the best men of our acquaintance?" 3aid Mr. Stretton, rather quizzically, as he turned to Dorothy. "Yes, father," very quietly. "Well, Doctor Dinsmore, I am glad to be able to grant my hearty approval, although Dorothy, of course, is of age to choose for herself; and I am glad to see, sir, that your money has not kept you from a truly noble manhood." "Mr. Stretton," replied Dinsmore, drawing Dorothy within the circle of his arms, "to your daughter I owe what I am to-day. Six years ago, when I was liying an idle, selfish life of dissipation, she refused my offer of marriage, and told me to make a man of myself.

"Tfie liinsnip or uvihjj uungo, ??? scientists phrase it, seems to explain why it is that there are animals which pursue the tactics of '"confidence men." A. Hartford butcher has found such a one. A patron, he tells the Post, has a collie that came to the butcher one morning with a slip of paper in his mouth. "Hello, doggy!" said I. and the collie wagged his tail and dropped the paper on the floor at my feet. I opened it. It was a signed order from his master for a pie<ee of sausage. I gave the dog the sausage. He ate it and went home. Time after time the collie came with ' these orders to me,and finally I stopped reading them. Each. I presumed, was j Tor a sausage, and each procured a sausage. I suppose, all told, the dog got as many as twenty pounds of sausages from me in two months. But the master, when I presented my bill, objected. He said he had only | ?iven the dog about a dozen orders, whereas I must have honored nearly i hundred. Well, the upshot was that tlie two of as got together and did a little detec- j tlve work/ We watched the dog.

One of the most picturesque figures of the New York bar was the late ! Thomas Nolan, a lawyer, whose witty retorts furnished subjects for merriment at many a lawyers' gathering. Now. Nolan was at one time counsel for a poor widow who was suing a I construction company for the death of her husband. The case had been placed upon the day calendar, but had been frequently postponed, and Mrs. Moriarity by the time she had made tier fifth call was in an exceedingly disturbed frame of mind, consequently the tones of Nolan's rich brogue were more than usually fervid as he fought against the sixth adjournment. "I am sorry." said Justice Drugo, | "but your opponent has shown me j good cause for the adjournment. Mr. ( Nolan, and the case will, therefore, go over until to-morrow."
