•'Oh, Ida, piea s ' l don't," and Dolly's
checks are like duuiutk roses as t'.i. yen
tlci.inn iu question raises I.is hat nnd
pa-std ou.
Tlio golden suuitnor flirts i.j, aud it
is soon evident to all eye., but Mrs.
Minturu'a that tho gentle girl who
made her home at the farm for three
years has captivated the handsome yeuug
ovorscer.
"I think he's perfectly splendid,"
Ida says when Dolly tells of her engag
ement with many blushes, "but mauiuu
wilt uever cousent, aud 1 l a.'iy think
you are yory foolish, Dolly, to throw
yourself away ou A four man. With
your beauty you might took for a coron
et—thr.t's what I'm waiting for."
"Id rather have Harry's love than a
coronet!" said Dolly.
"IVhat is that!" said Mrs. Minturn,
coming ou tho girli unexpectedly. "Dol
ly, 1 aci shocked!"
Tho blushing girl confesses all, and
it is coldly received.
"Engaged to that t.obody with noth
ing !" cries hoi auat. "1 novor thought
of such a thing. Your uuolo will no'
hear of it, you will sec! Ho is your
guardian, and you canuot marry without
his oonseut till you are of ago. That
will bo in four years, and by that time,
it is to be hoped, you will have more
s^use."
AH Dolly's prayers and tears arc' of
uo avail. Mrs. Minturn is firm. She
is goiug to take the two girls to Lon
don and givo them the opportunity of
making brilliant matches.
"Four years!" erira Harry Ilolmcs.
"Oh, Dolly, will your love ever stand
such a test V*
"Do Dot bo afraid, Harry 1" omi
Dolly "Noithor timo nor placn nor

There is » cluster or daisies nettling
