STORY OF TWO DOLLS. ;Jr (For Little Girls.) NE MORNING THE postman rang at our bell and asked Jane, the upstairs girl, whether any one named Miss Eveline Arabella Rosalie Estelle lived there. I was sitting on the top step of the stairs, and beard It all; and I heard Jane answer: "No, sir; there Is no one In the house who has all them fine names. I'm cer tain sure of that.” And I really think that postman would have taken the let ter away again If I had not called over the stairs: “Why, Jane, yes, there is, and I’ll bring her down this minute!” So I ran Into my room and took ray last new doll out of the wardrobe and brought her down Just as fast sa I could, and I said: "Jane did not mean to tell a story, Mr. Postman, but this Is the lady that letter Is for. We call her ‘Evy,’ for short, and that Is why Jane did not know.” The postman laughed, and said: “That explains It,” and tucked the let ter under Evy's arm and went off; and I took Evy and her letter Into the din ing-room. The letter was in a tiny, weeny pink envelope, and papa cut It with hfs penknife, and I took out the sheet of paper, and read: “Dear Eveline Arabella Rosalie Es telle:—I am coming to lunch with you at two o’clock today. I shall bring Lucy Bell with me. Give my compli ments to Lottie Lee. Your* very anectionateiy, £j' “Grace Genevieve.” Grace Genevieve waa Lucy Bell's very finest doll. Lucy’s grandma brought Grace Genevieve over the ocean, and Lucy took great care of her. I suppose Lucy’s aunt Fannie wrote the note, for she was always* doing things to make us laugh; and usually I should have been glad, but just then the doll's house was in a dreadful state, and how my Evelina Arabella Rosalie H Estelle could entertain Lucy Bell’s Or ace Genevieve properly I did not a , know. “You do not look quite happy, Lot tie," mamma said after awhile. “What troubles you 7" “I’m so sorry for dear Bvy, mamma, I said. “I’m sure she'll be mortified. The doll's house Is In a dreadful state. We were going to have a regular house cleaning, and the furniture covered, and the walls papered with figured gold paper, and the curtains done up; but the paper-hanger and upholsterer— that’s brother Tom, you know—disap pointed us,” “I should not mind if I was you,” said mamma. “You can have a picnic , . lunch on the grass-plot In the back garden.” “But you haven’t heard the worst, mamma,” said I. “Poor Evy’s china K-U tea-set Is actually gone—smashed to pieces! The day Cousin Jane was here she fell down with the china-basket. There’s not a whole piece left.” “I feel great sympathy for Evelina,” said mamma. “I’ve been in much the same position myself. But Lucy will make allowances.” “It Is not Lucy that I mind,” said I. “She Is only a plain little girl like my self; but Grace Genevieve Is so ele gant, and always comes In pale-blue * ‘ “WHAT A LOVELY IDEA ” Mtin, and wears a diamond coionet” \ , "Rather dressy,” said mamma, ‘for a email and early.” “She can't help it,” said I. “Her thing? won’t come off. But Evelina will want everything to match, you know.” V- , Tm afraid there's not time to buy a new eet of china,” said mamma. “Bnt " leave It all to me. I’ll think of some thing.” if;!! When mamma said that, all my cares were over; and about one o’clock she called me to come out Into the gar :'«i „ den. She had a box in her hand, and when she opened It, there were the loveliest shells of all shapes and slses, and a beautifully embroidered towel, and she had strawberries and cakes and a paper of sugar-plums and a little pitcher of milk; and she told me just ' which shells to place tor plates and , 4 which for cups and which to use for dishes; and when they were all set out, «' * with a big shell full of flowers In the v center, and a bouquet at each plate, I never saw anything so pretty. I ■'■4\ brought Evy out. . “Uy dear doll,” I said, “when I first , heard that you were going to have un expected company, I thought you would ' certainly be dreadfully mortified; buf I2 ■ iptmmi has helped us out of the trou ;V' bis. And now remember, my dear Evy, ‘'*v when Mias Grace Genevieve arrives, dsn’t look the least anxious, or make • any apologies, but just say: “I am glad to see yon, and as it to such '' . .v. . \ .

Do you? I only told Eva nearly what I had heard real big people say when they had unex pected company, and put away the corn-beef and cabbage and had a lunch Instead. Still, when mamma laughs, I don’t mind, for she loves me dearly; and I love her more than tongue can tell. Everything was done, and I had on my white dress when Lucy rang at the door. I opened it. "Bo glad to see you, Miss Grace Gene vieve,” I made Evy say; and Lucy made Grace say; "And I am pleased to be here, Miss Evelina Arabella Rosalie Estelle.” Then Eva. said—X Interpreted, of course—what I told mamma I would say about a shell lunch on the lawn; and Grace Genevieve answered; ‘What a lovely idea! But you always have such splendid ideas, my dear.” Then we put the lady dolls on the sofa to converse awhile, and I took Lucy out and told her all about the accidents that happened to the china and the delay In the doll’s house-clean ing. "How wonderfully Eva carried It off!” said Lucy. "I have often heard mam ma say that the only way to do when you had unexpected company was to behave as If there never was a time when you wanted them so much; and that Is exactly what Evy did.” 8TOP THE SERENADES. Torpedoes That Mitigate the Horrors of Nocturnal Visits From Cats The heights’ cat by virtue of not only Its exceptional attainments, but also of Its multifarious experience, may be justly entitled to the distinction of be ing termed a cosmopolite, says Brook lyn Eagle. The proverbial bootjack, buss saw, parts green decoction and dynamite bomb are Incidents In his ex perience, which he views retrospective ly with only passing emotions of Inter est, not unmlxed with pleasure. For It is recorded that he met them and conquered them *>ands down. Swell res idents of the heights have been left at his mercy. For a time cayenne pepper judiciously distributed Into the diet of the midnight prowlers gave the peace ful cltlxen a respite from the nocturnal harmonies of the love-making and ar gumentative animals. But after sever al councils of war which Involved mu tual recriminations and a tangle of evi dence as to the cause of their setbacks, the cats cleared up the mystery and went to work again, with a clear under standing and a proper plan of cam paign. The day, or rather, the night ui cayenne pepper was past. It was re served for one ingenioua citizen on Willow street to Introduce an expedi ent whlcb thus far proved to be the conquer'1'1 of the cat. The remedy was not less startling than the nuisance It was designed to abate was painful. A troop of black cats had made the rear stoop and fence of this particular citi zen’s residence a nightly rendezvous. Last Sunday night the feline chorus was in full swing and the debates be tween the singers were pitched in high tones. The leader of the band was ex plaining his views on the silver ques tion, while his first assistant, so far as the controversy could be interpreted, was endeavoring to divert the line of discussion to a consideration of the question as to whether marriage was a failure. Suddenly an upper window opened and a stalwart arm, draped in a flowing white sleeve, made a swift movement. Something hurtled through the air. There was a crack against the fence just above the leader’s head, a roar, and a blinding flash. The cats were petrified for an Instant. Then came another roar and a flash and the cats were in full retreat. A careful comparison of notes subsequently led the cats to a conclusion that heavy artillery had been in’roduced and that future operations should be abandoned. The torpedo had gained the day. It has now been go. e.ally adopted as a preventive for these night concerts, LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. NOTICE TO NON-RESIDENTS. Kwli’iTbra8k»l*tr,Ct co,,rt °( 1,0,1 county., Ne .1.0. Franklin, plaintiff.
