Nicholas.
ONLY h ERSELF TO BLAME.
In the broad back porch of a pleas
ant farmhouse sat two young girls on
gaged in some light needlework. The
porch was shaded by the wide branches
of an elm, beneath which, at a table sat
a tall, good-looking -oung man, par
aking of an eleven o clock lunch.
He was evidently just from the field,
for he was in his shirt sleeves, and a
sunburnt straw hat lay on the grass,
while he partook, with a healthy,
hearty appetite, of the light biscuits
and fresh milk and butter placed be
fore him.
And as he ate he looked at the two
young girls in the porch, particularly
the prettier of the two, whose light-yel
low hair the breeze had "luff'edr most
.becomingly about her fair face.
She had something of a coquettish
look and air, while her companion was
-quiet, with thoughtful grey eyes and
an almost ditlident expression.
'Mother'' called the young man
'presently, looking towards the open
istchen window, ''some more milk if
4 yo)u please."
Mrs. Wheeler came to the door with
her sleeves rolled up, and a small
pitcher in her hand.
Both girls rose to take it from her;
but she placed it, as if instinctively, in
the hands of the light-haired girl,
saying:
"Tom seems thirsty to-day; but mead
owing in July is warm work."
"And hungry work, too," Tom re
marked, laughing. ''Thank you, Lot
tie; but won't you stay and t:alk to me
hpre while I cat?"
"No, indeed; I've too much to do to
be able to waste my time here in chat
tin V."
"' hy, that's something new? Don't
you always sit and talk to me at lunch
time?"
"Not always, by any means. And
- because I've (lone it occasionally is no
A reason why I should keep on doing it
all my life.''
He looked up at her enquiringly.
"What's the matter, Lottie? Any
thing happened to vex you?"
"No, indeed! How unreasonable
you are, Tom! If I am not always
laughing and chattering, you think I
a11.n out of temper."
''hie girl on the porch looked up
gravely from one to the other, but said
nothing.
Tom sippel his milk slowly. His
appetite seemed suddenly to have de
serte(d hini.
The girl stood at a little distance,
partly turned from him and sewing on
the rulie in her hafid.
After a while, setting down his emp
ty mug, lie said in a lower tone:
"'Lot tie, wouldn't you like to drive to
the pienic to-imorrow ini my noew
buggy?''
"'I don't knowv that I am going,'' she
answeredl without raising her head.
"Not going! WVhy, for what reason?"
"'It will be so hot, and the roadl so
dusty.'' she answered hesitatingly.
"ell I don't wish to take you a
amuist four will," he answered a litao

his hat, turned away, and Alice and el
Lottio caino up the lane towards the a]
house.
Then Tom hastened his steps and tt
overtook them. d;
"Where havo you beenP" he on- st
quired. er
"'To S(quiro Redmond's, to see Miss tc
Marion Re(dmond," answered Lottio,
who was looking bright and smiling sc
"I thought you did not like Miss in
Redmond, ' he retvrned a little coldly.
"Neither do I. She's so absurdly s
dignified and self-important. But that's is
not why we shouldn't visit, being near
ni hbors and old school-mates. -1
I thought you paid the last visit a I
few days ago, ' said Tom. _
"Yes," sho answered, coloring, but I'
this was quite an informal call. I ti;
wanted an embroidery pattern."
"And Mr. Archie walked home with '
you?"
"As far as the gate. As lie had to go h,
to the post-offlce, we would not lot him
come any farther." A.
Then she added, looking down and c,)
carefully imprinting each footstep in w
the moist sand: di
"I shall see enough of him to-mor
row, I suppose, at the picnic." st
"So you are going to the picnic, af- pl
ter all?" said Tora quickly. g4
She looked up into his face with a
charming little smile. il
"Now, Tonm, you have no right to
scold. If Mr. Redmond had offered to
take me through the hot sun and dusty
road in a buggy, I would have refused. i
He knew I had refused your escort tn
der those circumstances, so ho pro- a,
posed that we should walk--le and I
and Kate Redmond-through the i1:
Marsden Woods. It's a private way n4
you know, and I promised. They say si
it's a lovely walk, and being a direct tv
path, not too long."
Tom made no answer. Lottie af
fected not to perceive his moodiness; but ti,
was all smiles and sweetness, till near Al
the house he left them and turoed vt
off to the stables, to see that the men C
were properly attending to the stock. no
He did not stay long there. le felt
tired arid depressed, and entering the tl
house, laid himself down upon a com- i
fortable sofa in the parlor. le
h'le windows were open, and a cool T,
breeze, laden with the perfume of the hi
roses on the porch, came softly and ht
soothingly in.
Presently he heard the girls eoning m
lightly downstairs, and then Lottie's m
Voice at the porch: T,
"Where's lon? Not conic in yet, I
suppose. Well, we '-vill sit here till c
Supl) per's ready." A
"Lottie," c'tid Alice, as the two hi
seated thenscyives on the bench inside A
the screen of tie roses. "I suspect that \
Tom isn't very pleased, and really I w
think you are treating him very badly.'' w
''how so?"
"You are not kind to him. You bi
know he loves you, and until within a fe
few days, I felt sure that you loved
him." hi
"Oh, well, we like each other well si
enough. What have I done to bring cc
upon myself one of. your solenu lec
tures?"
"If you love Tom, why do you en
courage Mr. Redmiond?1'
"Why, Allie, I'm not married to Tom of
yet, and I don't know that I ever shall ty
be. And, my dear, you ought to know se
a secTet it's always a good thing to in
have two strings to your bow. It gives at
you a choice, you know; or, if one al
should fail, you have the other to do- w,
pend lp)on.'ti a
"Lottie, you're not in earnest?" sti
"Indeed I am. I like Ton. lie's
landsomer than Archie Redmond, and r
riher, too, with this ine fari all his
owyn, and the money his father left ril
hini; but somec peop)le would say that to
Mr. Red,mond wvas a better match alto- hec
get her."
"Why, Lottie, if you think in this Zy
wvay, you cannot really care for Tlom.
I felt sure that you and lie wvould make sh
a match.''
"'Well, it isn't impossible. Only lie ,
hasn't asked me yet.''
''But lie will.,, or
Lottie laughed. si
"Sup)pose hie don't? Then I muay bc
have Archie Rednmond to fall back up- ~
oni. And supp~ose I can't get Archiie? c
Tlhen there is loim."''
Tlomi Wheeler rose up slowly from bu
the sofa, and walked softly from the od
room, out into the yard and garden. re
''So that is her game, is it? I would in
not have believed it of her. TIwo
strings to one bowv! Two stools to sit a
upon, rather. WNell, she'll comie to the i
ground for any sup)port she will get 39
out of me.''t"
.The picnie was a very pleasanit af- a
fair, as everybody saidl--everybodly but be
'Tom Wheeler. Strive as lie would a
gainst it, lie was consumed with jeal- ci
ousy and dhisappoinitmenit; and his un-c
hiappmiess was app)arenit to moist look- .l
ers-on. Even Mr. Arehio Redmond at
p)erceivedi it. k
"'What's the mi.ttter with 'Tomn k
Wheeler?' lie said, after the lattertI
turned away, after giving an abruptli
reply to a remiark of his. "lie is not I
like himself to (lay.''
Iihe emiumiry wVas adldres led to his
couis, Miss Redmond; but Miss
.lriplett, the gossip and( newsmonger of
the neighborhmood took upon herself to
replv:
"'iVhly, Mr. Redniond,' saidl she O(
archly, ''you ought to know if anyone li(
"'IP What have I to (do with it?''
"'What a look of injured innocno
But really you ought to 1)0 ashamed to 1
flirt so, andi cut out pioor Toni Wheeler, a
you nauirhty maniIi!''i
And A iss Triplett smilingly showved vi
her false teethm, and1( playfully tap)ped ho
Mr. Redhmiond on the shoulder with her re
.''Really, Miss TIrilett, you speak d<
m sterms." te
'You dlon'tI really mean to say that
you did not know.Toim Wheeler is a. N
ocod as engaged( to Lottie Stewardi hi
vhy it's beeni an understood fact for 8 st
year par,t."
Rodlmondl colored, lie hadl adlmired a
Lottie, anod been nmuch struck with hier
pretty face andl sweet manners; and
this news regarding her hadl somehowy am
afetedl him unpleasantly. t
"'I never before hieardi of this,'' hi
said qluietly.
"Is it possib~le? But then you hiave
b)een here so short a time. WVell, in
that ease we wvill exonerate you. hBut 0)
there is no excuse fo,- Lotti uStwr.. v
girl that can change as suddenly as
to has towards Tom Wheeler must be
together heartless."
Arehie Redmond overheard one or
vo other similar remarks during the
ty, and watching Lottio closely, he
w that while she gave him undoubted
icouragoment, she yet seeme(d anxious
not entirely break oir with Ton.
He wis paned, for lie had, uncon
iously to himself, become interested
the pretty sprightly girl.
"She is deceiving either him or my.
If,'' he thought, "and in either case,
not the right sort of a girl for me."
"Tom," whispered Lottie, with one
her sweet smiles, "as Alide is to Fc
:me with her mother from the picnic,
-I'll ride back with you in the buggy.
ve told Mr. Redmond that I'm too
:ed for the lou" walk back."
"Thank you! said Tom coldly.
[But Alice won't ride home with her
other. I've promised to take her
)me in my buggy."
Lottie turned and looked around for
rchie Redmond. She would have to
:plain, and walk back with him,
hiich was no disagreeable prospect,
,spite her declaration of weariness.
'1he weariness, in fact, had been as
umed; fo'r she saw that Tom was not
eased, and wished to put him in a
)od humor again.
"Where is Mr. Redmond?" she said
tstily to Katie, who was at the mo
ent skipping past.
"Cousin Arehie? oh, he's gone home
ith the Calverts --Miss Calver asked
rn-and I'i going to ride home with
amma and the rest. Not half so nice
walking, is it?"
Poor Lottie! both her bow-strings
d failed her -a predicament she had
>t foreseen, or, to accept Tom's ver
>n, she had come to the ground be
een two stools.
However, a kind neighbor gave her
t lift" in his wagon, in which situa
)n she had the mortification of seeing
r. Redmond drive past in Mrs. Cal
irt's carriage, beside pretty May
alvert, while Tom and Alice, in the
w bugy, had left them far behind.
She was very angry with 'T'om,
ough she had to admit to herself that
was ali her own fault; and when she
t the farm a few d:ays after, she and
)m hadn't quite made it up, neither
ad Archie Redmiond again called upon
.
Lottie had promised to spend Christ
as at the farm, and she made up her
ind that she would be satisfied with
)m, and marry him after all.
But before Christmnis came she had
ard two astounding reports. Mr.
'chie Redmond was to be married to
s cousin, Miss Marion Redmond, and
ice Brown was engaged to-Tom
heeler! There were to be two big
ddings . at Christmas, and Lottio
is invited to both.
'1 here is no doubt but that she was
tterly disappointed, for, as she coa
ssed, she really liked Tom.
But she had also to admit that only
srself was to blame. She had tried to
t on two stools at once, and she had
me to the ground.
Disguised as a Dude.
One day there appeared on the streets
a Texas town a dude of the dudiest
pe, and, of course, he was the ob
rved of all observers. IIe was quiet
everything but his dress, and until
out 4 o'clock in the afternoon he got
>ng very well, and at that hour he
mnt out for a walk, and as lio passed
saloon on the opposite side of the
-eet he was saluted by a chorus of
Ils from a lot of cowboys assembled
front.
"Put a thimble over it," "'Tie a'blue
>bon to it,'' ''Do it up~ ini pinik cot
s,'' "Grease it andl slip it into a knot
le,"' ''Give it to a tailor,'' and such
olamations rang out, and the dude
Liked very slowly and took it all in.
Finally, Bol us H ankus, the terror,
outedl:
"Ho01(1 on, boys; sit still a minnit and
Ltch the fur fly. Stick your peepers
to that tubular biler hat and see me
not a hole cl'ar through it."
Bolus pulled thme gun, an(d the other
ys stood back to enjoy the sport,
uile the dx'a walked slower than
er.
Pop1 v, cnt the gun and the hat flew,
t the (dude, amieker than flash, whirl
around, and a long, pearl-handled
volver shone in the sun light for an
stant and then cracked. Bolus' hat
mped six feet ofl' his head, and before

ound the corner as if a cyclone had

The dude smiled, and scratched his
in reflectively.

FOR SERVICES RENDERED. A
Renarkablo Ullt Which a Young PhysI
clan Tendered a Fair Patient's n
Father.
A romantic little story reached the e
ears of a reporter for the Inter-Ocean NN
yesterday. It touches on sickness, s
pills, and love. A certain charming
young lady living in one of the south- e
orn suburbs was taken seriously ill a tl
few weeks ago. 1Ier parents, who are 1
quite wealthy, employed the best medi
cal talent obtainable, but the worthy k
disoiplqs 9t medicine who examined her 'i
pronounced her case tp be incurable, s
and said that she was beyond human h
aid. The parents were in despair. By I
some accident the father heard of a e
young doctor who had but recently lo
cated in the village, and whose list of I
patients was not at all large, but who a
had ever given satisfaction when called
upoi H-o was asked to see the sick t
girl. He called, looked at the patient I
steadily, then turned to the anxious
parents and said, firmly and decisively: t
"I can save your daughter!" 1
"Do you think so?" was the excited
query. I
"I know so!" was the positive an
swer.
"Save my daughter and name your I
prico for your services," exclaimed the 1
loving father.
"Then I must have entire charge of
the case," said the young doctor.
As the other doctors had given no I
encouragement whatever for her re
covery the case was readily placed in
the young physician's hands. Ile went
to work, patiently, earnestly; took on
tire charge of his fair patient; watched t
over her day and night. In a week
she began to improve; two weeksfound v
her out of danger; in three weeks she
could sit up, and at the end of four a
weeks she was well and could take v
long drives with her devoted doctor. J
He had indeed redeemed his pledge- r
had saved his charge.
One day, after the complete recovery
of the young lady was positively as- j
sured, the father called the young doe- .
tor into his library. Taking him by a
the hand, he said: "Young man, you p
have saved my daughter. I told you that
if you did so you would be compensat
ed at whatever price you chose to lix ti
your services. I am now ready to car- si
ry out my part of the agreement, as si
you have so nobly done your work."
"Do you really wish to pay ine my n
own price?" asked the young doctor, I1
anxiously. 1.
"Indeed I do, sir." 1i
"Then I ask you to nive your daugh- sl
ter to me in marriage, ' was the unex
pectLd request.
The old gentleman was naturally a
little astonished at the nature of the b
answer. lie hesitated a moment, then ri
touched a bell. A servant answered. f.
"Tell Hattie to step here," was the a
command. if
In a minute the daughter entered h1
the room. The father and the young a
doctor stood facing one another. h
"Hattie," said the old gentleman. o
")o you feel that you have fully recov
ered?"
"I am as well as ever, father."
'')o you imagine what your doctor a1
wishes in compensation for his services d1
in saving your life?" was the sternly g
ptt Iiestion. al
"No," said the girl anxiously, "but -
I am sure he deserves anything reason
able. "
"But I c.nsider his charge extor
tionate," was the cmpiinhatic rcjoinder.
"What is it father? I feel sure that
Doctor would not be unreason
able.''
"'Not uinreasonab)le! Whylt, iIattie
he asks that I consent to his making
you his wife; what have you to say to
that?''"1
IInttie blushed violently for a in-ii
ute; her little foot played with the r*ug I
on the floor. then looking up arch ly, e.
first at her :other and niext to the p
young (doctor, who had meantime ut- I)
tored no wvord, she said:
"You say, father, wvhen I was sick
all the other dloctors gave me uip and
assured ni:e nothing but death?''"
''Yes, my daughter.''"
'"And Doctor --- took my ease un- ti
der those eircumnstanuce, told you lie tl
would save me, and nursed me bacek to bi~
health and life?''
"Yes." I
"Then, father, it strikes me that if I
was an audit ing~ commnittee and had tot
pass upon this b'ill, I'd argue that the ti
one who brought mec back to my) health
from applarent death would be pretty
safe for ine to 1)e intirusted to when
henIth wvas fully' regained. I wouildi
check his bill 0.' K., and say nothing e
about extortionate charges.''

Selecting a Guide.
From "Hunting the Rocky Mountain
Goat," by William A. Baillic-Grohman,
in the December Century, we quote the
following: "The first was known as
the fellow 'who could stand more rest
than any other man in the territory,' or
in other words, was supposed to be the
laziest man in Montana. The second
was reputed to ho0 a decidedly 'bad'
mual, n11 old-time Virginia City vigi
lante, known throughout the country
as 'Judgo Neversweat,' on account of
the e(<ltaliity of nityd exhibited by
lum at a certain mo t, critical moment
of his life, when he held at bay, with an
untload(rd revolver, four doomed and
(lesperate inen, tlirstlug for his life and
their liberty. Judge Neversweat evinc
ed a deI .ire to act as our guide across
the Bittter Root Motnltains, every foot
of whieb he pro,fessedI to know from his
'pros petin av:. 'We'll have a blank
iood timVle, yii let your bedroek
flum1e oi lht/I,' l .aid1, adding, sotto
2 tr,ir 'anyhow, as long as the whisky
(loll t p'oer out.' 11i" indignation when
1mformlled thIi at III is was Hot likely to oc
cuir", for ie gond reason that on prin
ciple we never took whisky on our
shoot Ill -t rip!,, was at first rather amus
ing, then r:tartlinr, to behold1. '1o
mere id4ea of a good time without n
liinited wihi:isky was a dire imposition,
an insltl to front tr manhoo(l. lie was
to ang;ry to ---ive vent to the usual un1
bridled llow of bad baiguage; his other
wise loud voi(e toned down to an angry
sinarl, his e.ts glit teid, his fori grew
erect, his whole beintg assumed an aus
tIer:'lv liglitied air; ill one wor"d, Judg
Neversw: e:l ler:nne polite. It was a

suhl-lIly diovereId they hal husiness

Illltte', 'tr o rll own flltneral.' Thel
