l THE TWO ' MORTON“.
Dolly is the most maddening, tan-
talizing, perverse and charming—l
might as well admit it, you’d soon
have found it out—young woman of
my acquaintance. I've been in love
with her for five years, and it’s a. won-
der my hair isn’t white; sometimes I
think it is turning gray, but when I
spoke to Dolly about it, she said, not
to bother, I was old enough to be gray
any Way. Ah! that’s where Dolly
hurts, and she knows it, for I am fif<
teen years old than she is, and when
that wilful young woman wishes to be
particularly cruel she treats me with
respect.
One night I was desperate. I had
sent her violets as usual—as he is par-
ticularly fond of them, and most of my
money goes that way. Sometimes she
wears them, and often carries them,
but this night they were nowhere to be
seen, and in her hand was one large
red rose. I went to her; appearing to
be sorry to see me was the particular
"form of torture which commended it-
self to her on this especial night.
“You here!” she said, lifting her
eyebrows, in astonishment, and with-
out a smile; all put on, of course, be-
cause I am always where she is.
where else,” I said, wittily.
She laughed immoderately.
“You’ ré—so—funny,” she remarked,
choking.
“Yes,” said I, severely, “I suppose I
am funny, very funny—but where are
my violets?”
“Why, had you—any—violets?” said
she. “I didn’t know—how should I
know?”
She said it seriously, but there was
a look in her eyes that I was used to;
I’d have liked to shake her.
“Dolly, you know exactly What I
mean; where are my violets?”
“If you mean the violets you sent
me,” she replied, with dignity, “I un-
derstood that after they left you they
belonged to me; do you want them
back?” This freezingly.
“0h, Dolly/“I said, reduced once
more to my usual condition of asinin-
ity. “I didn’t mean it, dear, I don’t
want the d———I beg your pardon, of
course I don’ t want them, I only want-
ed you to wear them or carry them,
you kn’ow,dar1ing.”
But she saw that she had the best of
me, so carried things with a high hand.
“The rose was sent me by a friend,”
she hesitated, “and I suppose I have
a rightto wear what I please; but sit
down, don’t stand so long, you’ll be
tired!”
This was an illusion to my age, and
it maddened me. '
. “You are exceedingly rude!” I said,
turning away and leaving her.
It was the most severe speech I had
ever made to, Dolly, and I suffered at
the thought of it. For four days I
didn’t go near her or send her violets
once. It was an awful four days.
Finally I wrote to her, fully con-
scious that it was a very silly letter,-
Wherein I told her I was merely angry
at myself for not knowing she1cared
for red roses, and I sent three dozen.
The letter I received was one charac-
teristic of Dolly.
A few days after I had been such a
cad to Dolly I called upon her, and
heaven favoring me, I found her alone.
“Dolly, dearest,” I began, “I am so
sorry———”
“Don’t,” she said, “that incident is
closed. There are so many nicer
things to talk about; Jane Hunt, for
instance.” 1
I shivered; I was about to be pun-
ished.
“Is she nicer?” said I.
said Dolly, with rather an anxious
look, I thought; of course I was mis-
taken.
“0h, she’s a very=.good girl, very
good! ” with a desperate-desire to make
Dolly jealous if I could, which I
could not.
“Is she?” Dolly tossed her
“Well, Mr. Morton, do you want to
know what I think she looks like?”
The “Mr., Morton” was ominous; I
shivered again.
“I think she looks like a cook!” she
declared triumphantly, while I, in-
wardly agreeing, protested,—
“Splendid wife she’s made!” said I,
not meaning to rouse Dolly.
But suddenly she turned and said the
most terrible thing to me that she’d
ever said since I’d known her.
“Then you’d better
This from Dolly.
"Oh——” I began, but she was gone,
and them was'nothing for me to do,
but to pick up my hat and go, which I
did, calling myself a beast and a brute
as I went.
That "night leaving the theatre we-
happened to meet a moment. She was
radiant and scornl‘ul.
“Dolly," I said, resolving not to no-
tice the contretemps of the afternoon,
“who are you going to dance the co—
tillion with at the Terrys’ to—marruw
night?” '

sweetly
“What a dear you are—l was atlaid
you’d promised somebody else."
And then she laughed. ,
“With the pleasant, agreeable llrlr.

says the wrong thing.’
And then I knew she meant the c b—
er one! I’ m afraid I said a bad we 11;

“What do you really think of her?”.
head.
marry her!” .
her mocking laugh followed me in the
darkness, and echoed in my dreams
that night. I.wished I’d never Seen
her—and took it back immediately.
I debated a long time within my-
self whether or not I should go to the
Terry’s, but as usual ended by going.
I could dance stag and take Dolly out,
and—lovely idea—perhaps 'she would
take me out! Then as I thought of
the way I had left her the night be—
fore, .this beautiful hope faded. What
would she want with a brute like me?
I never saw her look better than that
night of the Terry’s dance;
in white, which best became her, and
she seemed to me like an angel. And
that beastly Morton looked pretty well
too. I had to admit to myself that he
was rather a’well appearing chap.
Mrs. Floyd Hopkins, who aspires to-
be something of a belle herself, stood
for a moment and followed the di-
rection of my glance.
“Miss Dalrymple is looking particu-
larly well this evening’, said she, a very
gracious speech, indeed, for her.
“Very!” I replied, having sense
enough left not to discuss Dolly with
a. woman. _ 7
“But what an awful flirt,” she went
on; this left me gasping.
“And engaged, I understand, to Mr.
Morton all the time.’
“Who said it?” I asked hoarsely.
Dolly engaged—and to that—cad—
with my name.
“Oh, everybody says so,” and then
she looked at me with such an un-
pleasant smile. “That's your name
too, isn’t it?”
“Yes, I believe it is, " I said brilliant- ~
ly, moving away from her.
Dolly engaged! I couldn’ t grasp the
full significance of it; the thought left
me dazed and bewildered. This very
night would decide it. I would go to
her and ask her if there was any truth
in it. Just then she came toward me
as if she was going to take me out, but
something in my face must have stop-
ped her.
“What is the matter?” she said,
turning a little white.
“Dolly,’ I said sternly, “will you
give me the first two dances after sup-
per?”
“Of course—if you want them; but
won’t you dance now?”
I never saw Dolly so meek before.
“No,” I answered almost roughly,
“not new.” She left me with a
strange look in her sweet face.
It seemed Centuries until supper; I'
tried to thinkcf what I should say to
her, but my mind was in Such a cha-
otic state that I décided to depend on
the inspiration of the moment.
At last supper was over and I found
her, tucked her arm in mine, and
marching off to a qiiiet nook, put her
"in the only seat, and stood accusingly
before her.
“Dolly,” I began, “look at me!”
This she dig, a little timidly, I
thought, and I almost forgot what I -
was going to say in the joy of looking
at her.
“My darling,” I went on, “I have
loved you so long, so well, and hoped
that in the course of years you might
come to care—” she dropped her
eyes; just then I remembered that hor-
rible' gossip, “but to-night, Dolly, I
heard something that turned my heart
to stone.”
“What was it?” she asked.
“That you were engaged to———-—”
“Who?” breathlessly.
"Morton,” I grasped, “that wretched
caddish—-—”
“Stop! " she said, with 'dig'nity.
“Tell me, you shall.” I grasped her
wrists, “is it so?”
If it had been any woman in the
world but Dolly I should have said she
was embarrassed. She actually
blushed.
“No, " she said, slowly, “it is not so,
but —” her hands went up and cov-
ered her face. My heavens! suppose
she should cry. '
“But what?” I insisted cruelly;
“you’re not engaged to him, but you’ re
in love with him. 'P”
She took her hands away and her
face was very red; ifit had not been
such a serious moment I should have
said shevhad been laughing.
“Mr. Morton has—never—asked me

I was beside myself.
“And if he does?’ ’I hissed.
“I shall say yes,” very softly.
A terrible silence ensued; the earth

sharply.
And then the very queerest thing in
the world happened; Dolly’s faCe whit-I

“Yes, you old goose," she said, “I

DRIVING A DOG TEAM.
Flying Over the Snow in Northern Canadi
in Rabbit Skins.
Well; here we are down on the ice
and the dogs impatient to start. Let
me describe. The sled consists of a
narrow box four feet long, the from
half being covered or boxed in, mount-
ed on a floor eight feet long resting on
runners- In this box the passenge1
sits, wrapped in rabbit skins so that
he can hardly move, his head and
shoulders only projecting. In front
and behind and on top of the box is
placed all the luggage, covered with
canvas, and securely la'shed, to with-
stand all the jolting and possible up-
sets, and our snowshoes within easy
reach. An important item is the dog-
whip, terrible to the dog if used by a
skillful hand and terrible to the usex
if he be a novice: for he is sure tr
half strangle himself or to hurt his
oWn face with the business end of tin
lash. The whip I measured had a
handle nine inches long and lash
thirty feet. and welgher four pounds.
The lash was of folded and plaited
seal- hide, and for five feet fromthe'
handle measured five inches round,
then for fourteen feet it gradually
tapered off, ending in a-single thong
half an inch thick and eleven feet long.
Wonderful the dexterity with which a
driver can pick out a dog and almost
a spot on a dog with this lash. The
lash must be trailing at full length be
hind, when a jerk and turn of the
wrist causes it to fly forward, the thicls
part first, and the tapering end con-
taining the motion till it is at full
length in front. and the lash making
the fur fly from the victim. But often
it is made to crack over the heads of
‘the dogs as a warning. The eleven
dogs were harnessed to the front of
the sled, each by a separate thong ol
seal—hide, all of different lengths, fast
ened to a light. canvas harness. The
nearest dog was about fifteen feet from
the sled, and the leader, with bells on
her, about fifty feet, the thongs thus
increasing in length by about three
feet. » When the thong is good the dogs
spread out like the fingers of a hand,
but when the snow is deep they fall
into each other’s tracks in almost
single file. As they continually cross
.nd recross each other, the thongs get
gradually plaited almost up to the
rearmost dog, when a halt is called.
the dogs are made to lie down, and
the driver carefully disentangles them,
taking care that no dog gets away
meanwhile. They are guided by the
voice, using “Husky,” that is Eskimo,
words: “Owk,” go to the right;
“arrah,” to the left, and “bolt,"
straight on. But often one of the men
must rim ahead on snowshoes for the
dogs to follow him.--London, Ont.,

INSECT PESTS IN HAWAII. ‘-

Few countries have been more

ITALIAN SI:GN LANGUAGE.
Dumas Gives an Account of a converse:
tion Carried on in His Presence.
As illustrating the almost incredible
extent which the Italians-the Sicil+
ians especially—can communicate with
gestures, grimaces, and what is called
the sign language generally, Alexandre
Dumas relates that he was one evening
in the theater at Palermo, wlth a gen-
tleman of that city named Arami, when
his attention was attracted to what ap-
peared to be, and in fact were, conver-
sations carried on between the boxes"
and the orchestra. Presently Dumas’
companion recognized an acquaintance
on the other side of the house, and be-,
gan exchanging with him. eager notions
of the hands and eyes. When it ended, ,
Dumas begged to know what had been
said, and was informed that the gentle-
man was a f11end of Signor Arami who
had been away for three years. “He

had been married in Naples, and then
