where is your cousin, Dorothy q.
asked one and another Of her young
friends as Dorothy walked along
No one replies literally to a question.
Dorothy could have said: "She stayed at
home to write to her sweetheart" but
it would not have sounded ell to the
ears of church-going people, 50 She
merely answered in soft little voice
''She did not come to-day, and left
all the rest 70 the imagination.
How soon il Miss Allen going away2"
asked handsome Walter Meredith, the
young doctor who had lately come there
from New York, and he walked boldly
along by the side of Shy little Dorothy.
..She goes tomorrow" she answered,
gravely, and we will miss her, Oh! so
much. ! am so sorry
II am sorry, too. :" said the young man;
''she is such good company, and it has
been so pleasant for us three to go about
together. But it is time ] settled down
to steady practice, so it will be as well
to begin at once. No more incoming

pthy?"
No, l suppose not; but-but you viii
have mamma to visit, and we shall see
you sometimes, DR.. Meredith?'
THAT depends" said the doctor, and
this time he did not smile, but looked
troubled as he took letter out Of his
pocket and gave it to Dorothy.

nation, dear Miss Dorothy? When |

man or very wretched one. If | do
not hear-well that can have but one

"A pleasant Easter. said shrill voice
beside them, as one of the old women Of
the village hobbled past.
Dorothy dropped the letter into her
pocket. The doctor returned the greet
ing of the old woman with Good day,
mother, " and turned hack hurriedly, for
it was not his custom to walk home with
Dorothy Allen. She was too shy To en-
courage any such attention when she
was alone, and he had been presuming.
When the other Dorothy was with
them her loud laugh and chatter had al
ways seemed to invite him, and little
Dorothy took ut for granted that all his
looks and words were for Dorothy Q.

before named his little girl Dorothy it
was because he loved the name. but he
forgot that it was an heirloom in the
family for generations back, ever since

their smile. 1t was picture that al
ways faded away in an atmosphere OF
tears.
Easter Sunday had come again, and as
IL fell late in the year the earth was
green and lovely when Dorothy Allen,
grave, sweet and most lovely in her
simple dress Of almost Quaker-like color
and cut, walked alone under the trees
on her way to church. The dress she
wore was ashes of rose, that sublimated
into glorified pink, white fchu
crossed her dainty waist and string OF
gold beads clasped her fair throat. The
bells were ringing a glad Easter madri-
gal, and the devouo little saint was
going to join in the carols and stand
among the annunciation lilies as fair
and pure as they Walter Meredith
crossing the lane saw her, and some
lines that he had read that morning
came into his mind:
The Easter lilies tall and slight,
With golden antlers cleaning
Within their waxen bosoms white,
OF holy things are dreaming,
And stirring softly say apart
Blessed are the pure IN heart"
He passed her. lifted his hat gravely.
Il have a small parcel for you, Miss
Dorothy. | intended sending it TO you,
but it just occurred to me that it would
be safer 10 hand it TO you here"
what is it?" asked Dorothy, with
wondering eyes.
"A handkerchief that you left at the
bedside OF little lame Alice Farley. She
was afraid it would be lost before her
dear Miss Dorothy received it and asked
me to take charge of it
Dorothy was looking at the address
he had written on the wrapper
THAT is not my name, she said, grave
ly; IL am not Dorothy Q"
Not your name2 Whose is it, then.

At Is the name OF the woman he
loves, thought Dorothy, with pang at
her heart, but she said. 1T is my
cousins name, as you ought certainly To
know. She spo're with just the faintest
tone Of reproach III her sweet voice
1T is she who is Dorothy q
The two stood facing each other under
the trees. The bells were ringing a ju-
bilee, and these two looking into each
others eyes saw az in apocalypse an
Easter Of their souls.
1t was Dorothy who broke the silence
that had fallen between them.
That letter, then, was it former
THAT letter was for you. Oh, child,
how could you make such mistake?"
1t was you who made the mistake.
she said, all her sweet face dyed. in
bushes; and now the woman in Doro-
thy's nature asserted itself.
I'VE will be late. The bells have
stopped ringing, they viii be singing ths
carols
Walter Meredith walked at her side.
THE carols are in our hearts, > he said.

Her GREHSOME PRIZE.
a Good Story Told at the Expense OF .
Hrooklyn Soc. ETY. lady.

u tood story Told at the Expense OF q
brooklyn Society Lady.
A story Is going tho rounds Of Brook
lyn's fashionable circles, saws the New
York Herald. which shows how absent
minded persons may often find them
selves in very embarrassing situation.
One OF Brooklyn's reigning society
bellies, IL is said, recently entered
Court street confectioners TO indulge
her tasto for sweets She bad been shop
ping and carried a number Of small
packages, which she laid on the counter
while waiting the filing OF her order
"a pound OF French mixed"
When she was about TO go the polite
clerk laid OBTAINING hand on her arm.
Beg pardon, MISS" he said, ''but
you've forgotten something" pointing
to small oblong package on the coun-
ter.
Tho young lady looked at the package.
1t did not in any way resemble any she
had received during her shopping tour.
1t was oblong and fat, and seemed to
contain something of hard nature. She
finally counted her packages, decided
that il was not hers and said 50.
But tho clerk was sure he had seen her
lay it down, and the proprietor, who was
called in, also insisted that his fair Gus
toner was the owner of tho mysterious
package.
"But 1t is not NINE she returned,
greatly annoyed. Il have all my .our-
chases. If you think t is mine open it,
and that viii soon prove l aIn right"
That's So" was the confect;oncr's re-
sponse, and without further parley be
cut the string and unrolled the paper.
First a piece OF fine brown paper was
taken of, then some fine tissue paper,
and under this was-what do you
think?-an elaborately engraved silver
coffin plate, which informed the aston
ished beholders that William Stubbs"
had died IN his sixtieth year, while a
pious wish that his soul might rest in
peace appeared below in fine engravers'
script. The young lady shrieked and
almost tainted, for she at once remem-
bered that her last call before coming
To the confectioner's was 10 an en-
graver's % get some visiting cards en-
graved in peculiar style which is bo-
coming fashionable. In a faint voice
she explained this TO the confectioner
end then offered TO take back the plate
She was allowed TO do SO. followed by
the amused looks OF the confectioner' S
clerk.
On arriving at the engraver's she
found that tho place had been turned
almost inside out in the vain search for
the cofin-plate Of the late Mr.. Stubs,
who was 10 DC buried next day. She
had picked it up with her other parcels
On leaving the place before.
