"Doll-babish" is the term women al

' they are jealous.
To say Nellie was pretty, is to put it

' There was none other umoug them

mere shoals compared to the depth of
his love.
t His annetite had become such a
shadow of its former self that his j

of his wash-bill were past all belief.
He was utterly miserable!

or river would have been more ro
mantic; but with that strict regard
for historical fact which should be at
once the ambition and pride of all
chroniclers, we repeat it was a orpek.
Frank was fishing, while Nellie
was watching with expectant face the
bobbing cork.
Our love of historical accuracy again
compels us to be unromantic. Nellie
did not fall in the water. Frank did
not jump in, and, seiziug her hair, af
ter a prolonged struggle bring her safe
to shore, and, as a result they did not
get married and live happy ever after
ward. This is probably the only case on
record where this has not happened.
It is well known that young ladies
are in constant practice' of tumbling
in the water, and that young gen-
,'tlemen always save them. This ex
, ception only proves the rule. There
j would have been no earthly object in
i Nellie doing such a thing, as the wa
j ter was hardly deep enough to drown
! a kitten.
I Nellie watched lhe bobbing cork,
eagerly waiting for the expected bite
j that is, Nellie was eagerly waiting,
not the cork.
When it went under, and Frank
; pulled out a struggling, gasping little'
fish, for all her eagerness an express
inn oi sympathy came into her face,
i "Ugh!" she exclaimed. "You hor-
jriri fellow! What cruel sport! You
men are heartless monsters!"
Frank replied, meaningly, looking
very hard at her:
"No more heartless than some wo
men I know."
Nellie's eyebrows arched, and her
lips pouted, as she answered :
"What a horrid remark!"
"It is horribly true," rejoined he '
sun looKing very hard at her. "Thev

away again as pitilessly and careless
ly as T do this fish

"I am tired of fishing ; let as walk
up to the hoae.'
Wa3-that a shade of disappointment
on NellieVfaee? Who knows?
That nisht there was to be n party
at the house. Of course Nellie was
there ; and, as a consequence, Frank,
too.
We forgot to mention and for such
an unpardonable ommisaion we apol
ogize that Nellie Brainard had quite
a snug little fortune of her own. Per
haps this had quite as much to do
with the number of her suitors an her
beauty..
On this particular evening, her ad
mirers wre so many and 60 attentive,
and Nellie was sq delightfully pleas
ant to all, that Frank was in a con
tinual white heat of jealousy and rage.
Had he been melo-dramatic in his
chnrcter, nothing but an unlimited j
quantity of gore would have satisfied
him.
Major Bernard, a military gentle-
man from the city, very proud of his
name and the handle to it, was his
particular aversion. It would have
given Frank great pleasure to have
waded in the blood of the whole .Ber
nard family.
At eleven o'clock the Major and
Nellie left the dancers to stroll in the
moonlieht. Oh, if Frank could only
hae got at him ! The conspicuously
tender way in which tha Major put
her shawl around her created a vol
oauo in Frank, compared to which
Vesuvius was mildness. When he
went to bed, that night, it was with a
determination never to make love to
Nellie again.
That was how it happened that for
six months he never called to see her.
When they met In the street, she
gave him reproachful, almost plead- J
ins looks, hut he only bowed coldly
He would have given anything to
have taken her in his arms, but con
gratulated himself that he was not to
be deluded by her arts. Foolish fel
low, not to know he might have done
so for the asking !
It was a tima of great financial de
pression. Frank Gray's business was
good, but collections were slow. For , these four slunfc out of the iNornen
a year he had found It hard work to j tane Gate together like commo'u way
meet his obligations. A note of his j faring men, they could hear the sol
for three thousand dollars would be ' diers in the Praetorian camp, on their
due in a few days at the town bank.
The man to whom he had civen it a
rich old miaer with a heart of stone
bntl-rofuseli-ta-ranatr it either wholly
or in part.
In vain, as the day drew fatally
near, Frank had endeavored to col- i
lect the money. That failinsr. equal
ly vain was his endeavor to borrow It.
Every one seemed to be in the same
condition as him?elf. He found, too.
that most friendship won't stand a
three-thousand-dollar test.
Of course the whole town knew he
was in trouble. Blow your nose at
one end of a country town and some
oody at the other end sneezes.
Nellie Brainard had heard of his
difficulties, and taking into considera
tion the fact that he had not called on
her for months, eeemed to takea great
interest in Frank Gray's affairs. She
nUS'lillliCU Ullll l3-'TUMlii:u ui.i.i
sbe hid ascertained the amount of the
note, and the day upon which it
would fall due.
Upon that ..day. at four o'clock,
Frank sat in his office waiting for the
protest. He had requested the teller
I of the bank, a friend of his. to bring
it.
He had suffered much all day. t
He was a proud fellow, and would
. .
rather have lot hh riglit arm than
his financial honor.

In a little while his friend entered
and exclaimed :
"Why old boy, how pale you are!
Cheer up!"
But he only answered, .In a despair
ing way:
"Give me the protest."
"Frank," was the reply, "there is
no protesc."
The astonished man sprang to his
feet.
"No protest? I cannot under
stand !"
"Now," said his friend, "if you
will sit down again, and not act bo
much like a wild Indian, I will ex-
