they didn't know it. This cook-lets call

and a cunning imperial. His complexion
was a dark olive and his features regular.
In torn he was Il perfect Adonis. lie was
ALWAYS smiling and showing Il set of teeth
of ravishin- whiteneSS. Such was CARL
the cook, Doliy's lover. Now, how did she
yet acquainted with him? may be asked.
That is just what | am going to cN-

Il party in New York bay, when suddenly up

moment Il steamer passed by crowded with

Italian cook. Seeing the yacting party Strug.
Cling in the water, Carl gallantly jumped

Dolly. Now, | submit, what young lady
could have helped falling i'll love with 50
handsome Il reScuer under such clrcuni-
stances1 Surely none; nor could Doliy.
She pitched in and commenced to love hlln
in i'll astonishing manner for one OF her
.|,strrn"th. The old man rewarded him for
his gallantry, hired him, upon ascerta'ning
his occupation, which arrangement was Il
very satisfactory one for the lovers.
One dav the old man found Dolly and
| Carl sparkling after the most modern
| fashion. lie Immediately made up his mind
| to rout the cook out. He protested against
| CARTS staying, and Dolly protested against
| his going. But opposition was useless. The
| old man would have his way, and the next
day there was Il vacant position III the
| Kitchen. 1t was filled by Il gentleman OF
| African scent. The old man made up his
mind that if his daughter fell i'll love with
That cook he would shut up his house, move
TO the Indies. and live on bananas. wen,
the fruit of Time ame and as Dolly health
was not good he brought her to Saratoga.
\ private correspondence betwcenti the lovers
had appraised Dolly that tllither Carl had
gone before her. Once here, Carl soon
cooked up IL plan for Il meeting which WAS
successful. The lovers met in Congress
Park, drank spring water, admired the
Young deer, and were happy. All this time
she was flirting with the city sWcllS VINO
came up with plenty Of nothing but unpaid
tallors' bills in their pockets. She seemed
perfectly happy. The old man was IN
Wardly happy, too, hut being u delnu'r,
sour old cilss, he didn't show it.. II" tolcd
she would marry here, and this Is how his
hopes were realized.
All this time thai she was getting the
swcils on Il string, she was lkeWiSc pulilll@
the wool over her governors eyes. III tllc
mem time she was holding cialidesilne meet
iugs with Carl. They drank spring water
together and it seemed TO agree with them,
for they both looked very healthy after Dolly
lGld been here about 4 week. They, oil
course, knew tlmt the old gentleman would
never consent to their being married. 50
they made up their minds TO rlolc. One
morning, while her pateInal relative was
quietly rrpoSing in the arms Of Morpheus.
Dolly made her appearance ut the spring.
Strange to say, Carl was there also. lie had
not stopped TO cook breakfast, nor she to cat
it, but slowing away Il couple OF VailSeS III Il
carriage, in one of which WAS several thou
sand dollars worth of Dolly's diamonds.
away they sped, and, hating ut a village Il
few miles distant, they were duly spilccu,
and LETT for the city on II wedding tour.
In the mean time Dolly's papa had arisen,
drank his IIathorn us usual, given Il bell-5oy
a quarter for brushing his coat that there was
not u particle of dust on, and then went into
the dining-room and ordered breakfast for
himself and Dolly Us usual. The breakfast
came, hut Dolly did not. There stood the
tender, Juicy tcndcrloin, the crlSp-fricd po-
tatocs, the tempting omclctte and the cup OF
smoking. tea, but she fer whom they were
ordered was non est. The old man ate and
wondered, and wondered and ate. He finally
rot through eating, but still continued to
wonder. He went to her room. 1t was
empty! No Dolly was there, for she was on
her travels many miles away. On her bureau
was Il note, which ran thus:
"My Darling Papa.-Carl and have cor
cludcd to get married. We shall stop at
the Fiftll-Aveuue on our bridal tour. Call
aud see Us, DO. Ia, IL. DoLLIE."
\ bcll-boy who happened to be passing at
the time says that he thought he had heard
hard swearing, but those he had previously
listened to were mere amateurs in the art
compared TO DolIy's dad. "Swearing Il blue
streak" and Crying to raise the roof" are
illustrations entirely too feeble to do justice
to the occasion. He was swearing blue
streaks all ut once and in every direction,
while the roof he was attempting to raise
were very large in number. The hell-boy
