Dolly. with the na.fy little boess,
and pIak eAlllco dress She had
lovely brown hair, thoagh i coald
not Sc her face.
The next call made by the heir al
the Bar,lell Place found the parsor
shining with cleanliness, Miss Julia
Lawlor, a really beautiful girl, ar
rayed in the blue muslins, at the
piano, and Dolly, also in blue mus
lin, knitting. The appearance of
the blue muslins was the result of
Thomas Bardell's apparently care
less intimatiOh to busy DR.. Lawlor
that he intended to drop in" that
evening. For a wonder the Doctor
remembered the fact, and the
Lawlor girls" were arrayed to
receive their guest.
Dolly, in half an hour, decided
that she liked the newcomer very
much indeed, and that he would
make very nice brother when he
fell in love with Julia and married
her, as of course it was his manifest
destiny to do.
For Julia really is lovely"
thought unselish little Dolly, =" and
when be hears her sing he must
lose his heart"
Apparently the singing was as
powerful o magnet as Dolly sup
posed it would be, for scarcely q day
or evening passed that MIR. Bardell
did not drop in. Tom Lawlor, the
Doctors nephew and student, de-
clared Bardeu to be first-rate fels1

tea. Then the garden of the Bar
dell Place; as summer came on,
offered most tempting opportunities
for the fair ladies at DR.. Lawlor's.
To be sure, Thomas Bardell did
not know that Julia's share al
ways adorned the parlor, while
Dolly cries over hers in her own
room, and sometimes pressed her
rosy lips upon the card OF the donor.
Silly little Dolly!
For she knew MIR. Bardell was
falling deeper and deeper in love
with Julia. Did he not fairly haunt
the house? Did he not listen en-
tranced when Julia sung, even up
setting all the orderly arrangement
of Dolly's work-box in his abstrac-
ton. I
Was not the picnic on the Bar
dell grounds, to which all the friends
far and near had been invited, solely
the result of julius wish to see the
place?
That picnic!
Somehow it impressed itself upon
Dolly's mind that Thomas Bardell
was contemplating a proposal on
that June day, when he was to play
host to all the people of Rushtown.
She could not have told why she
thought SO, nor why she resolved to |
ask "Pa" for permission to 90 to
her aunt in New York q few weeks. |
just to give them chance to be !
alone, she thought, and wondered |
" hat made her heart throb so very /
painfully a; the idea.
