Godey's Lady'a Book.
Miss Dorothy Mont
fort's Charge.
BY NELLIE D. S. GRAHAM.
riOY MONTFORT eat in his
study reading intently,but with
fottffc) a tired light in his brown eyes.
fV$ The book over which he was
poring was a volume pertaining to
law, and Koy was reading up "a
case7' industriously, lie was still a
young man, although a prominent
lawyer, and lived in his handsome
house on Michigan avenue, Chicago,
over which presided his sister, a
maideu lady of some sixty summers,
for Hoy, although thirty five years
OI aSe naa remained unmarried.
Mis Dorothy Moutfort never
ceased to lament her brother' "sin
gle blessednes (J)'7 but he would ak
ways laughingly pull her down be-
side him, and as he framed her dear
old face with his hands, would say :
"Dorothy ! Are we not happy, alone?
With you, I lack uothiug 1 want
nothing.1' And Dorothy would flush
up with glad surprise at these lov
icg words.
She was only his half sister, but
since the death of his pareuts she
had been both mother and sister to
himj and indeed, they were com
fortable and cozy iu their beautiful
home.
Koy was now looking around his
luxurious study with a discontented
air, as he closed his book with a
sigh,
"Well, there's no help for it, I
must go to Denver and hunt up
those parties. How I dislike leav
idg my comfortable deu.'' And he
settled himself lor a nap, when the
door opened aud his sister came in.
She held in her baud an open letter
and there were tears iu her kiudly
eves.
"Oh, Koy, dear, I must read you
this, what will you do with a child
in the house aud what will you say
to thls,,
"What is it? ' Koy here interrupt
ed her with a smile, as be reached
out a lazy hand for the letter. She
watched him as be read, and when
he had finished, he turued to her
with a mystified air: 'TeIt me wh-it
i means, sister mine?"
"Well, Koy,'' begau Miss Dorothy.
'Meta Kay was a little girl who was
in the primary giade of the school
1 attended when I graduated. She
was a lovely lit'le thing, and, al
though I was ten years her senior, I
loved her dearly. For years after 1
left tichool, we wrote regularly to
each other ; but finally she married
John Morris, and we drifted apart.
I ha7e not heard ol her for a long
time.7'
"And now comes this letter from
her lawyer, statiug she is dead, and
has left her only child, a daughter,
iu your charge; well, what will you
do about it V interposed Koy.
"I may have her, may I not, Koy
dear f It is a solemu trust and it
seems the little girl's father is also
dead, and there is no one to look al
ter her. So I can send for hrjr to
come and keep her with as, can I
not! She will be company forme
while you are gone, and I can make
her useful in many ways. I should
very much like to have her come.
Remember, I loved her mother dear
ly." So saying, Miss Dorothy sob"
sided into a chair, and wipiug her
eyes energetically waited for Roy to
speak.
"Of course, she must come," be
spoke earnestly after perusing care
fu'ly the letter which he still held in
his baud. "Aud I would go for her
myself, if it were not for this trou
blesome case, the Kiver law suit. 1
mu?t leave to-night for Denver,
d iar, to be gone a week or ten days
You can seud your maid for tbe
c uld whenever you like. Nannette
Mortis, that is a pretty name, and I
hope she will prove a good little
girl so that she can be ot some com
foit to vou."
Koy departed that night oh bis
tilp, and in a few days afterward,
Miss Dorothy received word that
her charge, Miss Morris, woold ar
rive ou the evening train. Every
thing was in preparation for her
youug guest,. ami iMiss Dorothy's
cap string all a-flutter with excite,
menr, when tbe man ushered into
the room, a tall youDg lady of twen-
ty jeatB, with large blue eyes, sun
ny hair, and asleuder dainty figure
arrayed in the most correct of moor
; mng attire.
Sue came quickly toward Miss
Dorothy, who was staring at her in
the utmost amazement, holding out
a small well-gloved hand, and thenl.irst evening paesed all too quickly.
hesiratingly pressed a kiss ou the
o d Lid. 's cheek, saying in a high,
dear voice : "You are Miss Dorothy,
I knritv iiiwl T rim MannArta RTrvrli
r ,oved ya m mucn and t is
ob. an kind, in vou to t.ak m in.
to your Dome." ine sweet eyeH
were full of tears, now, and Miss
Dorothy had taken the girl into her
:irins and was holding tier close to
her motherly heart, while she min
gled her tears with Nannette's, and
poured out reminiscences ot the
mother, into the daughter's listen
ing ear.
Finally she held her off and looked
at her "You are very like your
mother, Nannette, very likeber, and
I shall love you all the more for
that bat to tbink ot you, a grown
up young lady V
Then Miss Dorothy began to
langh.
About a week later, they sat to
gether one morning in tbe pleasant
breakfast room. Miss Dorothy and
Nannette had become firm and fast
friends by this time, and many a
chat they had had over the still ah
sent Roy. Indeed, Nannette imag
ined tbe young lawyer to be a per
fect Adonis, and shyly dreamed of
bis home coming.
The postman had brought Miss
Dorothy a letter, and Nannette
watched the old lady anxiously,
trom out the corner of her eyes, as
ebe perused it.
Miss Dorothy folded up the letter
and replaced ner glasses in their
case then she spoke. "Koy comes
home to-night, my pet. He will be
with us after dinner. Are you not
glad, Nannette ?"
"Very,'7 replied the girl, absently
wondering it his coming would dis.
turb the happy tranquility and con
tentment into which she had fallen
since she entered this new home.
As she still bent over her fancy
work and said co more, Miss Do
rothy rose, and brushed around,
giving orders for her brother's corns
fort upon his return home It was
noticed through the day that she
pulled out his letter frequently and
chuckled over it.
When Roy arrived iu the evening,
Miss Dorothy audNanuette were in
the drawingoom. Before he could
euter the room where they were, his
sister started to meet him, and Nam
nette, seized with a sudden shyness,
slipped behind the heavy silken
curtains and peeped out to see him
a he came in. Very speedily he
entered, with his arm around his
sister's waist, as be questioned her
concerning her health and tbe af
fairs of tbe hoose during bis ab
sence. How handsome he was. A
welhbuilr, broad-shouldered man,
with browu hair aud beard, and
wonderful brown eyes. He carried
in his baud a long, white, paste
board box, which Miss Dorotby was
trying to take from him. "No, no,
Dorothy, I shall give it to her my
self, where is tbe child ! I would
like to see her ?''
Nannette wondered who "the
child'' could be, but just then Miss
Dorothy called her name, and she
was forced to show herself.
How Roy started as the beautiful
youug gill cme from between tbe
crimson baugings. What a picture
she made her fair face flushed, and
tbe golden hair forming a coronet
over tbe broad brow, while the soft
folds ot Iter black gown fell grace,
fuily about her sleoderform.
Roy stared at her in wonder as
she came forth in response to Mies
Dorothy's call. 4,Wnat V he cried,
"You little Naunette t I thou eht, ;
Dorotby, you aaid he was but a
child ? ' He had taken her hand
and was holding it as he looked at i
her with eye full of admiration.
Still holdiug fast to the small prist
oner, ue began to laugh. Miss Do
rotby jo niog him. Nannette drew
her band away with offended digni
ty7 which Roy noticing explained,
as he presented tne long box to her:
"Your pardon, Miss Morris buc
this is all too f um.y. See : here is
the gift which I brought for you."
Xaunelte, by this time, had opeu
Jd the box, and there, to her aston
ished gaze was disclosed, a large
wax doll.
How they did langb, and in pleas
mt conversation and music, Rov'a
Roy was very much occupied the
next few days, but one night he
rawe home; bringing a friend, Har
old St. John, to dinner with him.
j St. John was plainly impressed with
: r;.. : i .
. jiisb aiuins, auu iroui mar time
as a constant visitor iu Montfort's
home. As mouths roiled by, Rov
was most miserable. With all his
heart, he adored Dorothy's young
charge, and Sr. John manifested de
cidedly the same preference, Nan
nette received Mr. St. John's atten
tions with apparent pleasure, aud
the evenings, were spent together at
tbe piano, while Miss Dorothy kniU
ted and Jtoy pored over his heavv
volumes,:now and then stealing a
lauce at the seet face of Nannette.
Does she care for St. John t" he
asked himself. "Alas, yes," he de
cided,, and he walked up and down
his chamber floor, far into the night
and grew thin and worn as he wres
tied with this new passion which
consumed him-
One day, St. John came to Mont
foit's office, and after declaring his
love for Nannette, begged him to
plead his suit with be'. With white
lips Koy promised, and wrung his
friend's hand in silence,
That night after dinuer, u being
a balmy evening in May, be offered
his arm to Nannette, aud they went
for a stroll up and down the long
portico that surrounded tbe house.
Over Nannette's golden head she
had flung a white lace scarf, and as
Mont fort looked at his beautiful
companion, his heart gave a mighty
throb and a mad desire took pos
session of him to clasp her close in
bis longiug arms. But he controlled
himself with an effort, and iu his
deep, rich voice, lie tjld her of St.
John's love, aud of his wealth, and
position in society, and ot his earn
est wish to make Miss' Morris bis
wife.
She had stopped quire still, and
by the moonlight which shone on
tbe pure lace, he shw she had grown
deathly pale, and one little band
was nervously c'asping the other.
"Say no more, I beg of you, Mr.
Moatford, 1 caunot man y Mr. St
John, indeed I cannot!''
"But tbink, Naunette, St. John is
a noble fellow, and cares so much
tor you. Most I give him such a
message May be not come to you
and plead his case V
"No, no, Mr. Montford ; tell him I
appreciate the honor he bas done
me, bet 1 cannot marry him. I love
another." So saying she turned
away, abruptly left him, and they
saw no more of her that night.
During tbe uext lew days, things
seemed strangely mixed in the plea
s-nt home. Nannette was very pale
and quiet. Roy pleaded business
of importance and was rarely in the
house. St. John came but once,and
after a short talk with Naunette, he
went away and returned no more.
Only Miss Dorothy was nnchang- j
ed. If she noticed any difference in
her yonng friend, like the wise little
woman that she wis, she said noth
ing, and allowed things to right
themselves as best they might.
One night when Roy came borne
be found the house in darkness, and
supposing all had retired, entered
the library, intending to spend an
hour with his books.
A low sob arrested his attention,
and be was surprised to find Nan
nette curled up in a large chair,
sobbing bitterly. In an instant he
was at her side, with tbe soft bands
'prisoned in his own, as he interro
gated her as to
the cause of her
tears.
- "Wbv do you cry, Nannette !" he
presently asked again of her, as she,
having snatched away her bands,
covered her face with them. "What
can have happened ? Are you not
happy here with us rr"
"Yes, ob, yen," sobbed Nannette.
"Then is it tbat you regret St.
John I Is it that vrhich distresses
you ?" be asks, growing pale.
"No, not that," came her faint
reply.
"Theu 1 mu9t beg you to tell me
bat it is." Koy has turned the
tear-stained face np to bis own, and
ir eagerly bearcniug tho depths ot
the tender eyes. What he sees
tMere apparently satisfies him. for
he draws the unresisting figure to
his heart and presses a warm Lias
oi the quivering lipii, a he whis-
pjrs words of lovo into the willing
eira.
"And is it true, really true, Nau
n.tte, that you lov mc!" he aks.
for the twentieth t;me. "Ah, I have
b?en so miserable, so wretched,
siuce you told mo -you loved anoth-.
er.' How long have you cared for
m, my darling f
"Since I first you, Koy," comes
tie low reply, "vilh that immense
doll for the little Nannette."
Just then Miss Dorothy pops a
head ornamented with a most won
derful uight-cap iu at the door, and
is gaziug at them with opeus.eyed
astonishment.
Explanations are :ti order, and
when Miss Dorothy is told tbat
withiu a month Nannette will be
come Koy Mont fort's wife, 6he gives
an earnest blessing and a hearty
consent.

product of the Sound.
"It cost me the dtiuks for a big

I didn't believe it could be done and

ground, put his large aud robust
boot upou its tail and tolled it rap
