"Never 'Judge Arkwright' to you, Dolly, only Do you remem' ber the last, time wo were here to-' getherP" she faltered. "Do you remember the question I asked you then?

Arkwright!" But it was too late die was gone. "No matter," thought Dolly, trving to still tho rebellious quivering of her upper lip; "I shall see him at church this evening. Only only I wish I hadn't spoken quite so crossly to him. Of course it was very wrong of him to dare to kiss my hand; but thon, if ho really is going abroad And the chances are, at that relenting moment, that if Mr. Edward Arkwright had returned to tho shadow of the old might havo kissed Dolly's pretty coral rod lips, and not been eluded too severely for it.

But Dolly Dorniield had let the fast-rushing tide of opportunity slip by. She went duly to church, but she saw nothing more of Edward 'Arkwright And the next she heard, ho had gone to that Utopia of tho young and hopeful in this overcrowded sunrise side of the world ouc West. 'Well, papa, is there any news?" said Dolly, her usual nightly question, as she sat down opposite tho doctor to pour out tho tea. For Dr. Dorniield was a philosopher after the order of Dr.

Johnson, and much liked the draught which cheers but not inebriates. "Why. yes," said the doctor, taking a mighty swallow. "At least, I suppose you gossips "Papa!" "Would call it news," went on the old gentleman. "Harrington has found his pocket-book." Dolly fairly jumped to her feet.

"Found it, papa!" "Or rather it has been returned to him. It was in tho pocket of an oilioe-coat ho had sent to the tailor's to have re-lined and vamped over generally. The tailor had a great many other or ders on hand, and somehow mislaid the coat until yesterday, when he commenced to rip it up. And there was the pocket-book, unopened." "It was a lucky thing that the tailor was au honest man," said Dolly breathlessly. "Why, yes, rather so for young Arkwright.

Poor boy! and we all suspected him wrongfully!" "1 never did, papa, sparkled out Dolly. "Didn yon, my dearr ell, then suppose you give mo another cup ol tea, with" a little less sugar in this time." Ten years had passed over tho peace ful little village since tho tongue general rumor was rife with the story of Edward Arkwright and Lawyer Harrington's missing pocket-book bo- fore Edward Arkwright came back again.

When asked what had been the occasion of their invasion of the capital city at this time, Senator Buchan replied that he and General Cornell had come to look at the political situation, and added, "General Cornell will be a candidate for delegate-at-large, before the Wichita convention, and will have the su pport of the Wyandotte county delegation, and of several other delegations. We are going in to win, and will get there." Ge neral Cornell is one of the oldest residents of Kansas, and has ever since he came to the state been an ardent, earnest republican.

Harrington, dubiously shaking his head. "I wouldn't like to make any assertion of that sort respecting any one of my fellow-beings. But I do say that matters look very suspicious. He was the only one who knew where I kept my pocket-book, and that pocket-book has disappeared!" "Shall you go to law about itP" asked Dr. Dorniield.

no; I don't care to go to any such extreme measures as that," said Dr. Harrington. "His father and I were old friends, and I should have supposed Edward Arkwright to be the very last person in the world to commit such an action as this. No, I shall not go to law. "Of course, then, you will dismiss him from your services as copying-clerk?" "Certainly I shall." "Then his prospects in lifo will be as utterly ruined as if you put him in jial." "Probably said Mr.

Harrington, shrugging his shoulders; "but that is the boy's look out. Ho has made his bed to suit himself; so let him lie ou it." 'He is very young," said Dr. Dorn- field pityingly. And thou ho chirruped to Selim, his horse, and drove on to the house of the next patient, thinking no more of the human life whose interests were trembling in the balance. Dolly Dornliold was paring peaches in the shadow of the gnarled old apple tree just outside the kitchen door, where trie well-swei-p ruado a pencilled line of shade across the "short green turf, and tiger-lilies nodded their im perial heads like so many turbaned 1UI io She was a tall handsome girl, more like Juno than zephyr-like Titania in her style and suapo, with an abund ance of hair so dark that but for the bronze lights reflected from it here and there, you would almost havo been in clined to call it black, and eves of the deepest, softest brown, while her cheeks rivalled the blooming crimson of the peaches in her lap.

"UOllV! Sho started, and stopped in the song she was murmuring softly as she worked. Edward -Arkwright had stepped from the shadow of the stone wall bcyoud into tho green area at her side. "Oh, it's you, is it?" said Miss Dollv, stooping to recover the knife she had just dropped, and beginning afresh upon the velvety side of a great sun-flecked peach. I did not know whl her you would BpoaK to mo or not, young Ark wright bitterly. "Why shouldn't I speak to vouP" said JJoiiy.

'JJecause people call mo a thiol. "Do they?" said Doily. "Well, you see, I am in the habit of thinking for myself." 1 A sudden light flashed into the dark Castilian face of Ed ward Arkwright. 'Dolly!" he cried breathlessly; "tell me that von don't believe it!" "Not one word of it," said Dolly em phatically, nodding her head. "1 should as soon believe that Mr.

Harrington stolo his own pocket-book the cross-grained odious old wretch!" "Thank you for that, Dolly," gasped the von ng man, advancing hurriedly to her, and pressing his lips to the dimpled back of one white peacu- st amed little hand. Dolly snatched it away with redden ing cheeks and an ominous sparkle in her eye. "Mr. Arkwright!" "Forgive me, Dolly; but I am going abroad to-morrow." "Is that any reason that you should kiss my handr 'Dolly, I love you!" he faltered "You have carried my heart dangling in that same little hand these many weeks. "Oh," said the maiden, looking in tently down at her peaches, "that's quite another affair.

How can I help that?" "Won't you say that you love me a little, he pursued, growing red and white in the intensity of his emotion. "Won't you give me a morsel the merest crumb of hope to live on while I am gone?" "No, I won't" said Dolly, tossing her pretty head. "How ridiculous all this is!" "Do you think it ridiculous, Dolly?" "Of course I do." He turned away with a deep sigh. "At all events, Dolly, you cannot prevent my loving you. I shall carry that love in my heart wherever I go, until I hear that you have given yourself to some other man." "You will do nothing of that kind!" flashed out Dolly Dorniield indignantly.

"I will not allow it!" "There are some things, Dolly, that even you have no power to alter," said young Arkwright sadly. "Good-bye!" She heard his footsteps crushing down the honey-sweet blossoms of the white clover. She heard him st-alo the L. Burke, of Argentine. The acci dent occurred on Sunday last: "Avery serious hand-car accident, in which Mr.

Charles Swingley came near losing lib life, occurred a short distance above Turner on the Santa Fe road yesterday. "Sixteen young men and boys went from Turner to Quivera on a couple of hand-cars, They were returning home and were about three-quarters of a mile from Turner when the accl dent occurred, The two hand-cars were coupled together and were com ing dow the grade at a high rate of speed; Swingley was standing on the front end of the foremost car when he was struck by one of the car han dles and knocked off, tailing in front of the cars. The wheel of the first car struck him on the aide of the head and left shoulder. The scaln was torn from the side of his head and his collar.bone was broken. Both cars were thrown from the track, and in passing over Swingley, inflicted several other wounds.

Dale Barber, nephew of Swingley, and Joe Oiog- at were thrown off at the same time but escaped with a few bruises. Dr. C. L. Burke, who was in the vicinity at the time, was culled, and dressed Swingley's wounds.

He has not been able to determine as yet whether he is injured internally or not. In case he is not so injured, there is no doubt but that he will recover, though it will be some time before he is able to be around. Young Swingley is a brother of H. S. Swingley, of this place and and- County.

We have a nice school building bore, but it is in adeduate to accommodate the vast army of children of school age, There are many reasons which might be advanced a to the feasibility of erecting nnother school building, say north of the rail road tracks. In is would give school advantages, which, owing to distance, are impossible now.

The colored school building is also fast becoming filled to more than the present corps of teachers can properly handle. Thus we have another evidence ol a rapidly increasing population, which differs widely from that of a few years ago, when it was a most nomadic one. We now find those coming in who expect to make their permanent residences here. J. M.

An amusing incident occurred here during the recent engineers' strike. A long, gawky looking fellow was informed that the company was likely to put on new engineers.

He said noth Ing, but cautiously slipped away, and donning his best attire, presented him self as an applicant. The boys were 'on" to the affair, and appointed one of thoir number to represent the pioper of ficial. The applicant appeared, and putting his hat under his arm, and bow ing until his neck was in danger of be coming unjointed, he managed to ask if could get a job of being an "engin- eerman. The supposed omcial desired know how much experience he had had. The gawk replied, "I never runned real railroad engine, but three years ago I runned the engine on Charlie Thompson's threshing machine, and I low that if a feller could do that he could run a regular engine." He was instructed to go and take an engine which he should bring out in the yard and take a train out.

The men went to the yard and showed him an engine. immediately got up on the engineer's seat; and threw back the reverse lever and began to look around to see why engine didn't move. Looking around he said, "Say, Mister Superin tendent, 1 know all about an engine except this new fangled air business, and guess the air is sot, and if you'll take air off, I'll make her move." The shout that went up made the would-be engineer realize that he was being made dupe, and he made rapid time to his home. The engine had neither fire nor coal in it. Don't mention running an engine to him, as he is a man of a very sensitive nature, and it might make trouble.
