An expert poker player should make a first-class manicure, for the reason that he is such an adept at beautifying the hands. "Marry money, then." Polly said it composedly, and flecked a fly from her horse's ear. Jack looked straight ahead of him.

"That is one way out of the dilemma. But suppose your heart goeB In the wrong direction? Suppose It insists on lnvlncr where there is no money?" "My dear Mr. Dermott!" Polly's laugh me in my best! I'll resume my own role, dear, and dazzle Jack." "Very well, and I'll be poor Polly once more." Polly kicked off her little Blip, per and caught It again on her Blender toes. "All's well that ends well. Glad the plan succeeded." "You don't-don't mind, Polly?" said Georgina, a little remorsefully.

"Dear, no." In commenting later on these occurrences lu general and on her revelation to Mr. Dermott that night in particular, Georgina said that "Jack took it beautifully." "What do you mean by that?" Bald Polly in the seclusion of their own rooms. "I mean the disclosure that I was the heiress did not unduly elate him. He took It almost as a matter of course. Wasn't it nice of him, darling?" asked Georgina, and then she Bobbed a little, doubtless from stress of emotion.

While this colloquy was in progress another was going on in the smoking-room, deserted save for the presence of Jock Dermott and his best friend, Tom Howe. Tom Howe arrived that evening anC had Just been told the news. "But, look here! What's this? I'vo already heard from a man I know here In the house, that you've been devoting yourself desperately to a poor Miss Poole here, and now you tell me you are to marry the heiress of untold western dollars. I hear that there aro two Misses Poole. Now which is which? And which is to be Mrs.

Jack Dermott?" "The rich one, my boy alas!" Jack sighed a sigh long and glimmer. "But I've been devoting myself, apparently, to the poor one." "Oh, don't talk In conundrums." "Briefly, then, the rich Miss Poolo desired to be loved and wooed for herself, not for her money, exchanged roles with her cousin when they first came here. Every one took her for the poor cousin, and Polly," Jack sighed again, "for the heiress." "Ah! And you fell In love with the right one, after all, and courted poverty only to win riches? Very good. Virtue rewarded." "Not exactly." Jack got up and came and stood before his friend with his hands deep In his pockets, and a gloomy brow. "Not exactly.

There was five years difference in the ages of the young ladies. And there, Polly, if poor, had the advantage. "Jack Dermott? Ah, yes; a heavy swell from New York, who came last night. Why 'Jack' so familiarly to you?" Oeorglna tapped the floor so impatiently. "Don't be.

so provoking. Every one knows Jack Dermott and calls him bo. He's almost a publio character. Society papers have been full of him for years." "Oh! We did not see society papers at the Plain City Academy for Young Ladles," Polly yawned. "Well, his eyes are killing.

So dreamy. Dresses well, too. Naturally. Dresses like a New York man." Georgina's eyes had grown dreamy, too. She let them fall on the mirror at her elbow.

The mirror threw back the reflection of a face Improved by heightened color, transformed by a subtle something that made Polly Jump to her feet. "You're not in love with him?" Georgina flushed the brighter. "Absurd. A man who only came last night, and who I've never spoken to," she said; but she stammered as she spoke. Polly nodded three times, deliberately.

The general term of the Supreme court of New York has reversed the judgment against Erastus Wiman, who was last summer convicted of This is probably the end of the case.

It may be said now that the verdict of the jury was given under a ruling of the court which gave it no alternative but to convict. The jury were not allowed to decide as to Mr. Wiman's intent to defraud, and this the general term holds to be an error. It is reasonably certain that should a new trial be had under the ruling as now defined by the courts that the verdict would be an acquittal. Tom Howe smoked a moment.

In the vicinity of Morgan, in this state, lives an old negro woman whose love for the creeks has been noticed, perhaps, by all who live there. Hardly a day passes that she is not observed with her fishing pole, either coming from or going to the creek. Several days since a fond mother sat on the veranda, while a little toddler of 3 or 4 years played at her knee, when the old woman passed.

She is fearful that the precedent established by the no over scrupulous Mr.

We've been here only two days, and no one will know the difference." Pretty Polly's laugh gurgled like running water. "Ah! that's an idea! We'll meet Mr. Jack Dermott, as you the poor, I the rick Miss Poole, and then for the results!" She threw her arms above her head, plroutted, dropped a courtesy to her Image in the looking-glass. "I salute you, rich Miss Poole! Fortunately, Georgina, your dresses fit me, dear. And I'll wear your jewels on the proper occasions.

Poor little pauper me, what novel sensations! But Jeanne must be in the secret, of course. And strict discretion must be enjoined on Jeanne. No gossiping from her." Jeanne was Miss Georgina Poole's French maid. At the hotel people made up riding parties, forded the shallow streams, and rivers that flow through these southern mountains, flirted under the shadows ef the woods, in which the leafage was thickening, now that spring had come. Spring at least had come down here.

In the north and west winter lingered. The hotel people were idle birds of passage, though, and lilies that tolled not; neither did they spin. They were congregated at this winter resort for pleasure, and they took it as it came. "For my part, I should not mind hav that his heart was yours. Hence be satisfied.

He thinks you're the poor cousin, and he prefers you to the rich. You have Just what you wanted." Georgina flushed a little, looked pensive, then sighed. "If I could be quite sure but he had a singular look in his eyes, my dear, when he had his arm around you to-day in the middle of that ridiculous stream. How do you account for It?" "Natural look of his eyes. Born sentimental and killing, so to speak." "Tell me with your hand on your heart, Polly, he has not been flirting-coquetting with you?" "Good gracious, no!" "Well, we shall see." "You will see very soon, then.

I prophesy that he'll propose to you In a week." It did not take a week. Polly was lying on her back in Miss Poole's boudoir when the latter burst In, and, breathless, sank on her knees beside the lounge. "It's done!" Polly dropped the novel she was reading from her hands. "In due form?" "Absolutely. Just now as we were coming back from our walk.

He asked me to go and gather arbutus, you know. He Bald that he had long fought against his heart, because he could offer me only poverty. He asked If I minded marrying a poor man.

A GREAT GOUGE. REMEDY. Perhaps you may think that Scott's Emulsion is only useful to fatten babies, to round up the angles and make comely and attractive, lean and angular women, and fill out the hollow cheeks and stop the wasting of the consumptive, and enrich and vitalize the blood of the scrofulous and anaemic persons. It will do all this but it will do more. It will cure a Hard, Stubborn Cough when the ordinary cough syrups and specifics entirely fail.
