love her dearly Little girls can't give away their own ddllies any more'n mothers their own little children And here Marjorie really began to cry a little. f
 Aunt Sophie didn't say any thing. She only held the little girl close, and stroked the soft hair gently, and pres ently the child said in penitent little voice: But 1 want Hitty to have one, Auntie-I truly do. Do you think it would be selfish if keep all my six, and take my little gold dollar that Uncle Jack gave me, and buy her a new dolly for her own self? He said to buy any thing l wanted. Uncle Jack did, and I'd rather give it to Hitty than have. any thing myself. Would that do, do you think?"
 That will do charmingly," said Aunt Sophie, kissing her. Come, let's go up stairs and ask mamma this very minute, and we'll go down street and buy the young lady at once. Then we can dress her and take her down to Hitty directly. Let me see! suppose we measure Seraphina, and get one that can wear some of her clothes; she has so many. You're willing to sacrifice One of Seraphina's dresses, aren't youP"
 "Oh, clothesr' cried Marjorie, eager ly; ''she can have them all. Tisn't her clothes I care about. it's Sera- phina."
 "Well, we don't want them all.T said Auntie. laughing. There, now, here's just the tfing-this blue sailor suit. Isn't therc hat for it? Yes, I thought 30. Now get me the tape-meas- ure and run and ask mamma while see how tall she is"
 So in few minutes Aunt Sophie and her little niece were in the car on their way down town. They had a great hunt for the new dolly to find one just tall enough and plump enough, but not too plump. Atlast appeared fair one, with golden locks, big, blue eyed creature that Marjorie called Ethelinda on the spot, and when they took her home, Seraphina's clothes fitted her perfectly, and she was soon arrayed in pretty set of under-cloth- ing complete, with pair of boots on, and then the dainty sailor dress, with broad white collar, pretty red tie and jaunty hat, and was pronounced quite charming. '
 Then they took her down to little Hitty's house, not forgetting some good 7 things for the sick child to eat. And very pretty it was to see the rapture with which Ethelinda was received, and Marjorie's own delight in it when they came away and left little Hitty hugging the doll closely to her, and smiling down at Ethelinda like little mother.
 That night, when all the dollies had been undressed and laid in their own little beds, with an extra kiss for poor Josephine, who could never be like the rest any more. Marjorie went upstairs to her own little room, carrying the faithful Ethel, who always slept with her, and whispering to her softly: "Ethelinda's a great deal handsomer than you. you poor old thing; but she's Hitty's, and 1 love you a thousand times better because you're minet'- N r.

The Reason Why She Could Not Sleep
 How Mamma Knew.

| The Reason Why She Could Not Sleep How Mamma Knew.
 She sat up in bed. The curtain was | drawn up, and she saw the moon, and it looked as if it were laughing at her.
 ''You needn't look at me, Moon, " she said, ''you don't know about it, you can't see in the daytime. Besides l am going to sleep" '
 She lay down, and tried to go to sleep. Her clock on the mantel went ''tick-tock, tick-tock" She generally liked to hear it. But tonight It sOund- ed just as if it said: "I-know, I-know, I-know."
 You don't know, either," said Min nie, opening her eyes wide. You weren't there, you old thing! you were upstairs"
 Her loud noise awoke the parrot. He took his head from under his wing, and cried out: ''Polly didr'
 That's a wicked story, you naughty birdr' said Minnie. You were in grandma's room, SO nowm
 Then Minnie tried to go to sleep again. She lay down and counted white sheep, just as grandma said she did, when she couldn't sleep. But there was big lump in her throat. 70, 1 wish hadn't"
 Pretty soon there came very soft batter of four little feet, and her pussy jumped up o1 the bed, kissed Minnie's cheek, and then began to "pur-r-r-r, pur-r-r-r." It was very queer, but that, too, sounded as if pussy said: + know, I-knOw."
 "Yes, you do know, kitty" said Minnie, and then she threw her arms around kitty's neck and cried bitterly. "And-I guess-I want-tO-see-my mammal
 Mamma opened her arms when she saw the little weeping girl coming, and then Minnie told her miserable story.
 ''I was awful naughty. m amma, but I did want the custard-pie so bad, and so ate it up, most whole pie, and then, I-I-O, I don't want to tell, but I 'spect I must-I shut kitty in the pantry to make you think k she did It. But I'm truly sorry, mamma
 Then mamma told Minnie that she had known all about it. But she had hoped that the little daughter would be brave enough to tell her all about it herself.
 "But, mamma" she asked, ''how did you know it wasn't kitty?"
 Because kitty would never have left spoon in the pie," replied mamma, smiling.-Little Men and Women,

ODDITIES OF NAMES.
How Honest Pierre Feurstein Came to
 be Called Peter Gun.


 be Called Peter Gun.
 There is a man on Sixth avenue,
 New York, who rejoices in the title of Peter Gun. He has been through
 more changes of name than a woman
 five times married. The appellation
 left him by his father, who was na- tive of Alsace, was half German, as are so many of the Alsatian names. After the Franco-Prussian war and the annexation of his province, he became
 disgusted with life under Teutonic rule, and determined to emigrate to
 Canada. To America he came, bear ing still intact his patrohytnie of Feurstein. The French aequaint- ances he made in Quebec entirely re- fused to accept this version of two well- known words, and translated his name. Pierre de Ecu he was called in the French quarter of the old Canadian town, and the English inhabitants fol- lowed their suggestion of paraphrase and dubbed him MT. Flint, a good En- glish equivalent of Feurstein. In course of time Mr.-well, any thing you choose to call him-drifted to New York, and into the part of town inhab- ited by his countrymen. Here he was again translated literally from Mr. Flint into M. Pierre de Fusil, and so remained until his business brought him permanently out of the French part of town, and he underwent his fourth translation into Peter Gun, and will probably so remain until he makes another move. Mir. Gun is a jovial person, and regards this instability of name with cheerful philosophy. He says the only objection he has is that people who are not familiar with the circum- stances are apt to look with a certain suspicion upon the fact that letters are addressed to him under all five of his involuntary aliases, which savers somewhat of the methods of green goods and confidence men.
 There has been young Virginian here at the Hoffman House who labors under disadvantages of the sort, but his is an inherited defect and not brought upon him by his own careless ness or indifference. He always has difficulty in getting his letters and the cards of callers from the fact that he spells his name Ennoughty and calls it Darby. When man comes in and asks for MT. Darby the clerk naturally turns to the letter D in the registry and, when he can't find it, declares there is, as Mrs. Camp would say, No sich perscn" in the caravansary; or, if the gentleman comes in person to the office and inquiries for letters for MT. Darby, the clerk per emptorily declines to hand over the missives addressed to MT. Ennougilty. MT. Ennoughty has learned through troublesome experience to make this whole matter clear to the hotel clerk when he registers and, when he is in- trOduced to young woman, to spell his title for her at once, so that if he subsequently, calls the young lady is not forced to puzzle over his card and finally decide that she has met no such man, and consequently refuse to see him. He declares it to be an endless inconvenience and annoyance, but a sort of family pride in the uniqueness of the situation prevents his choosing definitely and finally betweon En- noughty and Darby,-RrOoklua EaQlA

must be held liable; also that il could not
curtail It's liability by any provisions an
