DOROTHY, DAISY AND DICK.

pOKOTUY was Djck's swootNeart, arid Daisy waa porniljy/rf coljj||i. All .hive v/.nou^os«i'Bi>i!iiii!ia uf vigorous yuunj;. "American lifo. Dorothy Lee, as ?h? sat in an easy chair on tho upper deck of the steamer Mermaid, formed a pleasant picture. With eyes full of alert attention, chocks of a healthy bloom, and mouth that always seemed ready to say something piquant and pleasant, none viowod her without feoling a springing desire to receive a friendly look or word. Dorothy was thinking of the des tination whither sho was bound. Oak Beach was a modest summer resort whero hor cousin, Daisy Carrington. and hor mother had been spending the last month. Dick Fuller was al.so lliere ; aud it Had boon arranged that Doiothy should join tho party on the 24th of July. But this was the 23rd, and Dorothy was journeying to^ the spot a day earlier than had been .planned, owing to somo unforeseen changes in her arrangements. Sitting in the gently-stirring lake breeze, she thought how glad Dick would bo to see her, how her impetu ous seventeen-year-old blonde cousin Daisy would smother her with em braces, and how surprised they all would bo at her sudden appearance twenty-four hours in advance of her expected arrival. How would Dick act?

The anticipation of her lover's greet ing caused a flush and an unconscious smile to pass ovor her face, and made a callow youth, who had been watching her furtively from tho othor sido of the pilot-house," half mad with a bursting desire to rush forward and throw him self at hor feet.

But soon the steamer's whistle floated across the placid bosom of the lake, and echoed from tho rising hills on the other aide. In threo minutes moro tho Mermaid drew up alongside a rickety dock. Dorothy walked the plank, and her trunk was sent sliding after her. A groaning of machinery and foaming of water followed, and the Mermaid glided away. Dorothy, with the expanse of blue ■on one hand and a dense grove on the other, stood undecided what step to take next, and feeling rather forsaken, as there was not a human being iv sight. •Dick! Dick!' Ah ! sho was not quite alone. The call proceeded from a plaintive, childish voice, and Dorothy soon dis covered a little form seated on a pros trate log, beside a waggon track-that led into tho thick growth of trees. It was a golden-haired, four-year-old boy, the fairness of whose complexion showed in pale contrast with the patches of dirt on his face. 'Ah, little boy, do you know Dick .' exclaimed Dorothy.

' Y res ; course I do. Dirk !' He repeated his call in a louder voice. .

'■ And do you liko him V ' Yes . and I want him to come and play with me.' 'Does he often play with you V S Oh, lots of times, and we havo such fun. But I s'pose he's off with Daisy now.'

'Yes; I guess they're hugging and •kissing somewhere.' . 'Ah!' Dorothy's eyes assumed a startled look. ' You shouldn't say such things, little boy.' 'Well, it's true, any way. Daisy hugs him just as hard as aha can.' ' Are you sure of this 1' 'Yes I've seen 'em lots of times.' "A child for tho. truth," quoted Dorothy, under her breath ; and then an oppressed fooling, came upon her, and she wondered whether Dick's heart had been stolen by D.usy. ' But I wouldn't want him kissing me,' said the voice of the urchin at her feet.

' Why not f asked Dorothy, curiously.. ,< Becauss his no3e is so cold,' replied the child calmly.

' For pity's sake!' ejaculated Doro thy, in amazement. 'What a curious I child'you are. What is your name 1 ' 'Jimm2—Oh, there's Bill Durkee, and I'm going fishing with him ! . Jimmy sprang to his feet and rushed off at the top of his speed to join a battered-looking man who appeared a few rods down tho beach with a fishing rod over his shoulder.

' Wait a minute,' entreated Dorothy, but the boy scampered away, unheeding her call.

liorothy then began to survey her ■situation. That sho was unexpected at this time was evident; and apprehen sions rose in her mind that her arrival would be more of a surprise than a de light. After a brief study of her sur roundings, sho took tho path through the woods, and a walk of two minutes brought her to a clear space whore stood a frame building of ample size,, around which was built abroad, covered piazza. Brightly painted red chairs and camp stools ■vyera scattered about, and a wide lawn was shaded hero and there' by spread ing trees. ;' y 7, ' Dorothy at onco ascended the steps and entered" the hbspitable-iopking doorway of.thesumnler hotel. A woman' .of amp!- form and with bared arms met her. __;.. «. ,4 J-am Miss Lee,' began Dorothy. ' Oh, yes! L . Yqii AV.erc riot expected until to-morrow. lam sorry there was ,no one'afc tlip.kaniing to wee. you.''. " ' ft is of no consocjuence,' replied Dorothy.. . ~.-.,; ; v. .••■-.' . j * You see they are all away on a pic nic, and I am alone.' ... 'Of; course. 'Nobody is; to bkine. Can! have a room?' ■ \ Certainly, I s,upposp you.VwiU room wifch your cousiiy Miss Qarringtoa,'

:. i By no means,' ' said-Dorothy 'se verely. 'I desire an apartment by my? self! 'I presume you have one vacant. ' Oh. ve's,*' replied tlio woman, soine^ what Mlash.d. ' But Miss Carfingtoi^ exn*-%ctC'l — --' : Nnv.-r mind what Miss Carrtngtou i-Xjiectad. Please show mo your rooms. The landlady led the way in silence up stairs, and Dorothy was soon estub li.h-dina ohoerfilly furnished apart ment, one window of which afforded a view of the grovo, ovor which patches of tho lake gleamed in tho distance. Dorothy, on being left . alone threw horself into an arm-chair, and the revelations of the golden-haired child began to turn themselves over in hor brain. Of course, he could not bo mistaken; but how cruel I How treachrous in Daisy, aud how false in Dick !

Evening soon came, and with it tho return of i)m! picnic party. Dorothy, looking from a window, saw Daisy and Dick walking together. Their laces wero aglow with health ami merri ment, and as they disappeared around a corner of the house, Dorothy felt a stilling pang at, her hoart. With, a struggle she'shook oil' this feeling, and resentful determination gained tho mastery. When, later, Daisy came rushing to hor door, sho admitted her, and was the recipient of a wild scramble of kisses and embraces.

Dorothy received Daisy's tumultuous greetings with quiet equanimity;, so quiet, indeed, that Daisy soon became awa.ro that thero was somo.hing un comfortable in the atmosphere, and drew back, looking inquhingly at her cousin. ' But what is tho matter, my darling Dorothy '] Aro you not woll V 'Perfectly well,' was the quiet re sponse, accompanied by a sevoro and judicial stare into Daisy's eyes. 'But lam suro you aro not. You look so queor. Was tho lake rough 1' ' As smooth as glass.' 'Well, but you have a hcadacho, anyhow.'- Dorothy vouchsafed no comment on this positive assertion. Daisy looked at her nppcalingly. ' Well, come down in tho parlour and see Dick. He will bo so glad.' ' 1 shall not go down stairs to-night.' ' Oh, Dorothy ! He will be so dis appointed !' 'I daro say he will find means of consolation.' 'How unaccountable !' sighed D;ii'-- v There was an hmoeeiieo in her to.»o and luce that approached hardihood. ' Oh, I know you and Dick havo quarrelled. How miserable ho must be.'- .'. . I leave you to console him.' ' Then you have quarrelled V 'Wo have not. Don't concern your self, Daisy. Go downstairs and enjoy yourself. I shall rcrmdu in my room, and I prefer to be alone.' ' That, I suppose, is a polite invita tion for me to take mjsolf of.'.' . You need not go until you get ready.' 'Indeed! -Well, I am ready now. There is a lunch wailing for. pie down stairs. What shall 1 tell Dick t"

' Whatever you please.'

Dorothy had opened tho door and stood holding the knob. Daisy moved slo.wiy and reluctantly into the hallway. Sho turned with a beseeching look aud said :

'Jt is all very strango. May.l come and stay with you to-night?' ' I prefer to bo aloue,' replied Dorothy, inflexibly; and as she closed tho door she added with distinct and impressive utterance: ' Do not disturb me again to-night, Daisy. Go. down stairs and console poor Dick. And while you are about it, try and sco if you can't get his nose warm !'

With this parting shaft sho abruptly closed and locked tho door, and not all of Daisy's piteous appeals moved her to any response. ... . Aftor she had retired, disturbing thoughts troubled her brain, and she lay awake a long time. When finally she dropped off to sleep, her slumber was unquiet, and the dawn of day was a welcome relief. Dorothy arose, attired herself in a morning gown, and quietly slipped from hor room. A walk iv. the fresh air might do her good. . Stepping out of doors, she felt the breeze from the lake, heard the low murmur of the waves, and breathed in exhilaration from the pure atmosphere. A surprise awaited her. Sauntering across the lawn was the golden-haired boy who had the day before greeted her at the steamboat landing. ' Are you not out rather early, my child ?' she asked, kindly, her heart somehow warming to tho pure face and earnest eyes.

The boy stared at her. A look of recognition came over his face, followed by a smile of cpnterapt. ' They're at it again/ ho said. 'Who?' 'Daisy and Dick.'.'_/ ".._.. j, 'What do-you moan? What are they at? ! Where are they?' She was'all alert.

'In tlio summer-hpuso. Oprn.e on,, and sep. them.': './. ,■ . ~ >~

r-'i So early in the morning ?' gasped Dorothy to herself.

But she thought there, was no time better.than the present to bring an .un pleasant matter lo a 1 climax, and she followed, the child' to an arbour thickly covered \yith vinps. "...,

!T 'They are in there;' said the boy. >•■•,[ The sound of asriipfcheredvoice camo from -the. supanerrhp.^s^,-1' , '."< ' \,'.',':_.'. . 'Oli, Dick, you are my best frioncl, after all.' ~-'.T---'".■ r.l i:rht..:'.'Vi 7 ,

This was followed by a series, of peculiar and. unmistakably explosive soiuids which : confirmed tho worst feature of tlie boy's tale.: : •-•" I

Dorothy's heart beat, wildly, arid therp was ait exquisite pain 'with every tjypb.,^Yßß thi?, tHen, the end of her

bright droam- of love and constancy. She seized Jimmy's band with such i} firm grip that the child rolled his eye? up to'her face appi'ehe^sjvgiy, Then she led him around the arbour in search ot tlio entrance. Miuldunly an eyola. ma.ion, came from within. "'Dick! ' Dick! Don't go away and leave me,1

There was a scramble and a rush, and ''Jimmy released himself from Dorothy's grasp by "a quick wrench. ' Oh, ther.'s'Di-k, and he's going to play with me.' And-Jimmy ran among the trees in liot pursuit after a huge New Founch land dog that had como bounding out of the arbour. , :

Dorothy quickly entered, in a some wliat bewildered frame of mind. Daisy sat alone on a wooden bench, her toilet in a rumpled state. 'Daisy,' said Dorothy, sternly, ' what is that dog's name V ' His name is Dick,' replied Daisy. Dorothy then looked carefully around the arbour. She and her cousin woro tho only occupants. Dorothy stared at Daisy, pondered a moment, and then with a wild burst.of merry though somewhat hysterical laughter, sprang forward and kissed Daisy re peatedly, with many convulsive em braces.

' Oh, Daisy, what a simpleton I have been ! It was all tlie fault of that goidon-haired imp of a child. He told mo such things about you and Dick, and lie meant the dog all tho time.' ' Dorothy Lee ! You don't mean to tell me that was what ailed you last night!' ' Daisy, if you ever tell Dick, it will kill me.'

' Oh, bnt that was such a mysterious remark you made about'his nose. It kept mo in a perturbed state of mind all night.' ' Poor, littlo, innocent Jimmy ! Ho told me that, and I suppose the dog's nose is cold.'

Dorothy thon gavo a minute account of her interview with the child on the previous afternoon. Following this came such peals of laughter that an other early stroller was attracted to tho spot, and the next moment tal] and stalwart Dick Fuller peeped curi ously in. Tho girls sprang to their feet and Daisy lied precipitately. ' Dick !' said Dorothy, with mingled earnestness and hesitation. Her face : was beautiful in its -blushes, and the gladness of her eyes was toned with a touch of repentance. Ho stepped for ward and seized her hands. ' Are you better, Dorothy V 1 Better V ' Yes. Daisy said last night that you were uc,t feeling well.' ' Oh, yes, I am better; and so glad to see you, Dick.' The manner of their greeting shall not be chronicled in detail. It was en tirely satisfactory,-judging from their beaming faces at the breakfast table half an hour later. Dick was some what puzzled, however, by occasional, aud seemingly uncalled-for bursts of merriment on Daisy's part, in which Dorothy joined, though apparently with some vexation.

But the girls vouchsafed no explana tion, and it was not until week., after wards that Dick was. favoured with an account of tho confusion, dismay and resentment into which Dorothy liad been thrown by a fair-haired child's chatter about hia canine namesake.
