Besides, I had only green and white paint left. Uncle Bon- | jninin is so stin?I mean economical? , that I darseu't ask hira for a new box of colors. 1 should have liked to make you ( a handsomer present, but you will have to take the will for the deed, Jasper." "It is very pretty, indeed, and I shall never look at it without thinking of you," said Jasper. "I'll hang it up where I cau see it as soon as I open my eyes. What shall I keep in it!" "Well, it will held photographs," said Dotty. "And 1 have a hundred," said Jasper. "Five of you, mother and father, nil my brothers and sisters, Aunt and Uncle Brown, Aunt and Uucle Joucs, the members of the choir at Allcntown, lots of I girl*?" . . , "Of girls?" repented Dotty, solemnly. j "They always give their photographs to inc. I dou't know why," said Jasper. "I never ask for them." j "You begged for mine," said Dotty. , "Oh, you are different!" cried Jasper. ] - i necueu yours. rue only one but yours I ever?" s Ob, you confess, eh?'' crieil Dotty. i 'I didn't nsk for that. I only said I j thought it pretty," said Jasper. I It was plain from the sudden fading of i Dotty's smile that he had not bettered matters, and he stopped. 1 'But whose was it?" asked Dotty. Oh, it was only Jennie Graham," said s Jasper. "It was the way it was finished | otI--the toning aud touching up, I i meant, that was pretty. It was fiue, don't you see, as a photograph, and I < was doing a good deal in the amateur ^ way just then, and was interested in methods. It was not as Jennie Qra- 1 ham's portrait that I cared for it." I Dotty was occupied in pulling out the t bows of ribbon that adorned the bag, and said nothing. She had never seen | Jennie (jrnhniu, but she had heard her < spoken of as beautiful, and she did not quite believe Jaspar. Iu later yenrs a woniau comes to know t that it is not always the girl he thinks the handsomest that a man loves best; : but she cannot believe that while she t is still very young. t Dotty was aware that she was only nice r looking, and she could not see herself 1 as others saw her, especially Jasper Meredith, and know just how nice? i Jasper had been pay in r attention | for a long while, but as ye* they were J not actually engaged. I After Jasper had gone away with his 1 l>ir hday present, and she had betaken 1 herself to her own room, she felt a littlo piqued to think that Jasper had told her i about those photographs of other girls < that he should keep iu her presence. 1 Particularly she hated to think of Jennie Graham's portrait lying in that i bag of heliotrope silk, ou which she had < painted a four-leaved clover, which she < had stitched with the tiniest stitches, 1 and shirred so carefully and lined so j daintily with pale green silk, quilted in diamonds and pcrluaied with heliotrope c sachet powder. She did not dream of making a bower t for Jennie Graham's picture 1 beauty. If j Jasper had said, "I will keep it for your s photographs?yours alone," that would ( have been a pretty speech. < Suddenly she remembered that she also i had photographs?those of her boy cusins, the likenesses of two young men \ who wore eugageil to lier dearest school i friends, who hud sent them to her that f she might see what charming person* they wire to roairy. j 'i hen there was the photograph she t had bought in a stationer's store when ( she was only fourteen years old, aud was j visiting an aunt in New York?the pUa*-~ -i tograph of a young actor,who had played , a part sho fancied at a matinee perform- i auce. Oh, she had tail -Borne were in her 4 bureau; some in her trunk; her cousins v iu the album; the fuscinatiug actor on a c top shelf, with some old stereoscopic pic- \ t.ures sho had tired of long ago. She would liuut them all up and show r them t-? Jaspsr t'.ic very next time he , tame, ami give him u pang of jealousy, j lie deserved it for even dreaming of keeping Jennie Graham's photograph in the hag that was her love-gift. Dotty did not sleep for some time after coining to this resolution, and she cried a little and said to herself that nothing in life was quite satisfactory. Such resolutions are often sweptaway; but Dotty Dome awoke to find hers quite as tirm l>y daylight as it was when tho moon shone in at her bedroom window. After breakfast she hunted up a pretty Japanese box that Jasper had given htr for her note-papert auil*aAhioU??l b?r portrait*. Bluff Cousin Hal and jolly Cousin Philip, Ann Morcland's tinaocce and Martha Green's "darling Tom," gentle Mr. Mddrnay, the minister, who had a wife and live children. His wife had given her this picture to show her how he looked as a college hoy. The young actor, Vivian St. Olaire, t what great eyes he was making, to-besurc! Kxnctly as he did whoa he said, t 'We must |>art now, but we shall meet a again,'' when he bade farewell to the I lovely maiden of the play she saw him t in. i< The others were nobody in particular except Simon Todd, who used 10 be a drug clerk in ti.e town, and who had j offered hiinsclf and been declined with thank?. I These, all arranged carefully in a box, " were placed in the front parlor,and when Jasper next called, Dotty was examining j them with a sentimental expression, and so deeply absorbed in her occupation j that, really, she did not hear him enter. , Hullo, Dot!" be said, pulling her pink ear softly. t 'Oh, you!" she said, looking up. "Dear me! I was miles away!" i "booking at your photo graphs, eh t" said Jasper. s "Yes," said Dotty, softly. "This is a fat-faced fellow," observed a 1 Jasper, taking up the counterfeit prescutiment of Couain Philip, and throwing it l lown again. "That's Todd! Used to 1 l?e* at the drug store. Simple Simon they ' used to call him. Poisoned somebody t tnd had to cut, didn't he? Who is this '.hat looks like a tick lamb? A thcolog- 1 ical student, isn't be?" I Dotty felt that she was not doing ' such with her photographs. That oven J if she told Jasper how she had refused Simon Todd's offer, ho would not b? , {reitly impressed. She turned the cards over,and Stopped st that alio hid bought at the New YqxIi ' -tntioner's six years before. .* + ^ I "I don't believe any one over was so , handsome as he!" she said, dreamily** "Ain't he lovely, Jasper?" "So-so," said Jasper. "Seems to bo ( fully aware of his beauty, too." "How could he help it, Jasper?" said Dotty. ( Dotty lifted her eyebrow?. "It wouldn't be sate. He is a very largo man, quite an athlete," she said. (Jasper was rather short than otherwise.) "He is as brave as a lion and as tender as a woman." "Oh, tender, is ho?" said Jasper. "Indeed! How does he show his tenderness? Pray, wheu did you know him?" "Long ago," said Dotty, rolling up ncr eyes auu signing?"whou 1 was vis- | iting my aunt in New Yoik." , She was delighted to see evident signs ] of jealousy in Jasper's eyes. "I wonder you did not remain in New ( York," lie said. i "Undo Benjamin sent for me. Hasn't ho a sweet name?Vivian St. | Claire?" said Dotty. "Souuds like a pickpocket'sal^^' said Jasper, who was au law. He was red with fury now. Dotty was content, but she resolved to make him still more furious before the told- him that she was only toasing aim. "You ought to have heard him speak," the said. "His voice had such a mellow lotc, like a robin's. I never shall for;et how he said, 'Ye3, we part now, jut we shall meet again! Ye3, we shall neet again!' " She covered her face with her handterchief to hide her laughter. The next instant the parlor door closed iharply. She started to her feet. Jasper was gone. The street door clanged :o. ; A vision of a tall hut crossed the winlow sill. She had made Jasper jealous with a vengeance. What were the tears that fell from Dotty's eyes the night before compared to those that wet her pillow on the one [hat followed? She did a great deal of crying during the next month or two, for Jaspor never jiunc near her again. She heard that he had gone to New fork. Shortly his pareuts went thereto eside. One day her Uncle Beujamiu, for no cason that any one could discern, chose^ o move to Finoville. AU connection bc-' ,ween those who knew Jasper Meredith, md Dotty Doane was severed and she leard of him no more. A few years later Uncle Benjamin lied, leaving her a set cf jet jewelry, jrincipally in fragments, and a family 3:1.1. 1 *1 . -1 1- - - I jiuic, auu tuc i co'j i*i in^ jirupcrtj vo u arge and wealthy charity, and Dotty .ook to teaching as a means of livelihood. "They arc doing such a lovely thing in New York!'' said Miss Pratt, the prinjipal of the school, one day. "Every-J| body is dressing a doll to benefit of poor children. Now, wh)H should we not do the same thing in m, " Jifferent way? Lot each child dress tit i loll, and each teacher, of course, and * rnve them auctioned off, and send the iroceeds to the orphan asylum." Every one applauded the idea, of sourse, and the work began. A collection was taken up for the lolls, iliey were given out to the scholars ind teachers, and before the day of the uiction were brought in in all styles of :ostume,froin that of a now baby to that >f Queen Elizabeth, in ruff and atomicher. The children of Miss Doaue's class vcre almost all too young to handle the seedle. Mothers, erranduiotherj- aunt* ind elder sisters-did tho work. There were twenty of tho pretty puprets on Miss Doane's particular table tho lay before the auctiou. Hero was ioodys Two Shoes, tboro Little Red nrrssry ~ mud. Hero you saw Patience ,vith her milk pails, and on the other land Little Buttercup. One grandmamma had tricked out au i'.apTCM Eflgeriie in tba fashions she vore in those days when she wa3 spoken >f as the lov'.iost of living women, vitli tho most plentiful supply of clothes. 'Little "ohs!" and "ahs!" went off it the display of each member of the galaxy of waxen beauty, and Miss Doane ook up the last doll. It was dressed vory curiously in a wadded frock that hid its feet and was Irawn about its neck by a ribbon. The obe was of heliotrope silk, decorated with four-leaved clover. A fragrance >f heliotrope pervaded it. To Miss Doane it seemed like ?, ghost, ind a ghost it was, indeed?a fair thing if the past came to haunt with her the ncmories of sweet things turned sour, if joy transformer] to sorrow. , It was the bag which sho had made ind decorated for Jasper Meredith But \ow did it get here?" 'This is yours, Lucy?" she said to :he child?a tiny thing of five years )ld. "Yetb, ma'am," roplied the b?by. "Did your mother dress it?" asked ">otty Doane, a vague thought of Jennie Jrahain giving her a queer, jealous brill. < i T I ii J-i ?' -- - --i iiuvuu t uos nny mocncr," replied ho child, "nor any grandmother, nor ny aunties?only my papa and my uncle, could not exthpect an old bachwcller o know how to dwess a doll, tho' I did t mythelf." Miss Doaoc drew hor closer. "Lucy," sho said, "who gave you that retty dress for Dolly?" "I fouud it," said Lucy, with her hurab in her mouth. "Ith a w'ap?er." "But where did you find it?" asked diss Doane. "In a dwawer," said Lucy?"Undo fathper's bureau dwawer. Ho can't play tith dolls; he don't need it." Miss Doane untied the ribbon from the leek of the doll. "I'll make you a prettier dress,Lucy," he said. The child nnddei, quite content, and vent back to her seat. Dotty sat looking at the bag. Tears nose to her eves. 3 K vnV'r kept her gift all these ^ll*Vaal>a he thought of her someiuoeJkm^ lea3t he was a batchelor still.

I Should like to remedy the mistake, Any desired material will be supplied cheerfully, and will relieve you of?" He did not get any farther. Mis? Doanc had lifted her eyes and looked a' him. She held the bag in one hand, hci ovpu ohotograph in the other, She was the same old Dotty, a little more mature, aud he was Jasper Meredith, a little older. It was as if they had only parted the night before. For years Dotty had longed to say BAmnllitnrv XI .-*? ? nU* I.a.1 ? .1 a. _ juuiv?u?u^. 1WH auo lilt I II CIlilUCQ to sav it.

"I have told Lucy I would dress the d&ll more suitably." But it was no use being dignified now. Jasper was bending over her and whispering in her ear: "Oh, Dotty, what an idiot I have bcenl Will you forgive me?" Of course she did. And so the fourleaved clover brought happiness at lastl ?Saturday Niy'iL Eating lteforo Sleeping. Our forefathers did not need to eat fust before retiring, because the time |\ai WAAtl ntmninM k/Oin^VU MICH CYCUIU^ I1IC.II UUU UCUIIU1U was of short duration. But thousands of weak people to-day let severnl hours elnpso between their evening meal and bedtime, and during this interval the stomach gets empty. From this time on until the breakfast the Btomach is entirely trw~fTutn nil food, and this adds greatly to the nightly emaciation, sleeplessness and general wakefulness. It was considered an unpardonable sin against our "stomachs to eat before retiring in earlfer daytf, but the proof of medical expori?uCe shows now that there are more peorile benefited by eating some light food before rctiriug than those who are iujuped by it. A little common sense will easily demonstrate to one whether eating before sleeping benefits him. The perpetual disintegration of the tissues, which goes on at all times, must be made up for by supplying the body with plenty of nutriment. Food taken into the stomach at night is belter assimilated, aad does more good than that which is taken iuithc daytime, when violent exercise tends to counteract its good. Food will diacst when one is sleepiug, but the gnat fault is that people do not kuow j^Milftsiological limit of their stomachs. iBBBPfflTflcraaciatcd persons improve P*n pnlv a small quantity of food is ph&c^in their stomachs at night, but if it p overloaded injury follows. Stout andf fat people should nvoid food at uight and their weight would be greatly re duccd. Weak anu .emaciated people should eat a little of easily digested food before retiring, au<l their general weight would be increased. Many nriso in the morning with a bitter, sour taste in the mouth, and they attribute this to the food they ate before retiring. This conclusion is logical and true. The remedy is not to take that kind of food again, but try some other kiud until that which does not disagree with the stomach is found y.infit i.lj A Jar of IIu^e Peaches.

"Ilully gee!" said oue; "where's me shot. Seo me pick him now, Socky." Taking a beaushooter from his pocket tho boy aimed at the bird. The pebble whistled a few inches from it. The sparrow broke oil in the middle of a note, fluttered its wings and took to a higher branch. The bird was young and could not fly far.
