" continued Dot. tiai ' vj i : , . liat littlfl hrftwn head ilowlv over the bill. After thinking awhile, she slipped the paper m her pocKet ana went down stairs. Mamma and sister Margie were sew ing. Don went quiotly to Mrs. Led ....1 An1 mtiiurtavnl "We'll feel very poor afterward, won t we, mamma?" Mamma smiled. A sad smile, Dot thought, as she replied : "You're better at guessing than wo supposed. Now, why don't you take your trimmiDg, little .1 n n rrlt tat an d cm infn tlio library? awuu O - " There's a nice fire on the hearth, and yon . .-I . - ttt-111 .1 :i can worK away iiisea oee. wo u ueou n soon, you know," added mamma, for Dot was rather inclined to dream when she was alone. "We'll need it soon," repoated Dot, as sue climbed up in the big library chair, "We'll need "it soon. And to think that I once thought that mam ma and sister Margie were making those things to sell, nor how much 'twas costing to have the doctor coming every day, and sometimes twice a day. Poor Donnie 1 Perhaps he's worse than they tell. Perhaps," and there was a great lump in her throat, "he's going to die, and they are leaving me to find that out." , , . Tom went into the barn to clean his gun. Dot saw him. "I'll ask him," she said, as she put her work hurriedly into a little silk handkerchief, and started with ip for the barn. "He wont teaBO me when he knows how badly I feel." "Halloo! ' was Tom's greeting. "Been crying?" "Yes," admitted Dot, in a voice that could leave no doubt of it in anyone's mind. "What's up?" continued Tom, as he rubbed away at his gun. "Want any help?" "Well, you know, Tom," began Dot, in her sweet, timid voice; "there's a se cret in there," pointing toward the house, "and I never found ikout till this morn ing." "So you found it out, did yon? Well, I told 'em you would." "I wouldn't but for the bill." "You wouldn't, what?" asked Tom, who was rubbing away again. "I'll tell you about that afterward. When I wnt into the sitting-room, mamma and Margio were sewing." "That certainly didn't surprise you!" "Oh, Tom! how can you make fun of it all? Mamma looked just ready to cry, and oh.oh, oh.what can wedoaboutit?" as she threw herself faco downward on the hay, and sobbed as though her little heart would break, while Tom stood by in speechless astonishment, wondering why the words "Two dollars a visit" seemed mingled With her sobs. "Uome, Dot," said he, tenderly, "don't cry. You haven't told mo yet what the matter is. Now we 11 sit right up here, while you tell Tom all about it." After a while Dot managed to say: "Doesn't Dr. Cogswell charge peo ple who are ill two dollars every time he goes to see them?" "Something like that, I believe," an swered Tom, wonderingly. "It's exactly that," said Dot, feeling for the bill. "Ob, Tom, we must owe him hundreds of dollars!" There was a queer look in Tom's eyes. "I suppose we do," he said. "But have we Rot the money to pay him?" questioned Dot, the brown eyes swimming asran. "No, I don't believe we have." "Then, what are we going to do?" said Dot, with another sob. "There, Dot," said Tom, soothingly, "Don't be so foolish as to ery. It's all coming out right, I can't tell yon just how, but it is." "Tom." called Mrs. Ledvard. "they're all waiting for yon." "The boys have come, Dot," said Tom. giving her a basty kiss. "Now re member aot to worry. Its coming ont all right." Dot sat a long time on the hay. "Tom always thinks everything's go ing to oome out all right," she said de termined to lie miserable. "I just know be thinks Dr. Cogswell isn't going to charge, bnt he is, for there is one bill and he s probably got another ready. "He could just as well not charge," she went on, "for Edith Oloott told me be ever'n 'er so rich, and that he's got a house in the oity even prettier than this. But how could one be?" she wou dered. "How could any room be love lier than the one Mrs. Crane took Edith and me into the other day? the little one with the window looking on the lake, and the little bed with curtains and ev erything blue, curtains and all. Dr. Cogswell calls it his little sister's room, and she's coming in the spring. Tom I ust wanted to comfort me. He doesn't now how hard they're workin' and cryinV' That night Dot added to her prayer the words, "0. Ood, please don't let it be more than we can pay. "Let what asked mamma. "The doctor's bill, whispered Dot. The young doctor must have heard of it in some way, for he happened in the morning after breakfast, and the next thing he said was: "I n going to have my bill settled to day, little Miss Dot," as with quite it grave face he took out his memoranda. "Now how much should you think it would come to?" "Hundrods!" said poor littlo Dot, faintly. "We want to be business-like," said Dr. Cogswell; "suppose you get your slate and figure it." "Dot ran. 'He isn't going to let us off a penny, she moanod. "Now. let's do a little sum in arithme tic." said the doctor. "What does M stand for?" "One thousand, said Btaggoring little Dot, pushing the crochet-work way down in her pocket. "Very good," said the doctor. "Now, what does C stand for?" "One .hundred," said Dot, trying to be brave. "H'm," coughed Dr. Cogswell. "Now, can jou think of anything else that the letters might stand lor.' "No, sir," said Dot. "Why. yes you can. Dot," said Don aid, who had just been wheeled into the room. M. U.r clapping bis lianas "Why, Merry Christmas, don't you see?" Dot smiled. "Then there isn't any bill?" she askei Tom. "Nary a bill." said Tom; but can't you think of anything else that the letters might stand for "No." said hapnv. stupid little Dot. "I can," oried Don, catching sight of some glances being exchanged, and Margie's protty cheeks aglow, "Margie Cogswell!" Dot had to submit to a good deal of teasing, but she was verjr happy not withstanding, and wrote in bor diary that night, in such big letters that nho went right over two or three of. tue loi lowing days. "The doctor wasn t coming to see Donule, nftor all, and there wasn't any bill. I am going to be bridesmaid and wear white. There isn't any littlo sister but mo, and I'm agoing to have the little blueroom, whenever I want to go there to visit. St. Nicholas. Hanging the Jojecs. Full accounts of the exocution of the Joyces appear in the English papers. The convicts rose at 6 o'clock, none of them having slept continuously during the night. At seven they were visited by Father Oreavan, who remained with them to the end. None of the men would eat breakfast. About S o'clock Marwood entered the colls for the pur pose of pinioning the convicts. To this operation Patrick Joyce and Patrick Casey submitted quietly; but Myles Joyce protested with great vehemence his innocence of the crime for which he was to suffer, and resisted Marwood slightly. At fifteen minutes past eight o'clock Myles Joyce cmorged from the prison, supported by two of the ward ers, and uttering a number of exclama tions in protestation of his innocence. He was followed by Patrick Casey, and he again by Patrick Joyce, both of whom were also supported. As each of the convicts emerged from the prison he seemed, from a hurried glance around, to expect to recognize somebody among those present. As they proceeded the seryice of the Catholic Church for the dying was repoated by Father Oreavan, but only dne of the prisoners, Patrick Joyco, made a response. With the ex ception of Casey the condemned man ascended the steps of the scallald with out assistance, and when they had been placed under the ropes which were dangling from the cro6S-beam Myles Joyce, turning to the spectators, lnado a number of exclamations in Irish, to the effect that he was innocent. When Marwood approached to adjust the rope on his neck he resisted slightly, Father Oreaven approached and spoke to him, but he nevertheless continued to speak loudly while the noose was being adjusted on bis neck and the necks of the other two, who submitted quietly, and after the white cap had been drawn over his face he moved his head, so that Marwood had again to arrange the noose. Even then he did not stop speaking, ex claiming, "I am going to my Ood, and I am as innocent as the child unborn. I neither raised hand nor foot against the people. I had neither hand, act or part in the murders." When tho bolt was drawn, and the men disappeared from viow there was scarcely a qviver of the ropes by which Patrick Joyce and Pat rick Casey were suspended, but there was apparently severe struggling on the part of Myles Joyce, for the rope oscil lated violently and Marwood could be seen for several minutes afterward push ing down the body "with bis foot and stooping down and endeavoring to do somothing it could not be seen what with the noose. Marwood afterward ex plained that Myles Joyce had by some means, got bis arm or hi hand entangled with the rope and that he had been try ing to push it down. Death, he was pos itive, was instantaneous, and nothing could have been wrong with the rope, as be had used it in executions before. xieaides, he gave all the men a drop of equal length 9 feet. The scaffold, it may be mentioned, was erected by work men from Dublin, all the local trades men having refused to do the work. The prison was surrounded by (entries all night, and a body of Fnolicemen were on duty ontoide to quell any disturbance which might arise luut scarcely a down persons assembled at the gate, even after the block flag had been run up to show bat the sentence of the law bad been tarriod out. Tacks. A tack is a simule. nnnrotending sort of a young nail, noted for its keen re partee when pressed for a reply, and pos sessing the peculiar power when stand ing on its bead, of causing the cold shivers to run down the back of a man in mere anticipation of what might be. lacks are in season all tue year ronnu, but the early spring is usually the time selected by thorn for a grand combined effort, and then they iouriHh everywhere for at loast a month. Since the inaugu ration of the time honored ceremonies of house cleaning, every thorough house keeper, with long experience in tne line of duty, so takes up tht carpet as to re tain all the tacks in their original places, thus preventing it slipping from the shaker s bands unless the tac: ureass or his fingers give out. But the triumph or the tack is not complete at this early stage: it patiently abides its time, and on the relaying of the carpot ihsuos forth with doublo force, After searching the whole house for i paper of tacks, without sucoess, the un fortunate man drops on his hands and ktees to begin and immediately discovers four tacks at least, as he rolls over and sits down to extract these, finds the rest of the paper directly under him, and then unless he is a man accustomed to put np Btoves and joint stove-pipe the chances of laying the' carpot on that evening are slight. In selecting tacks from the saucer ho always inspects the points with his fore-finger, as tne tack instantly loses its head when thoy come to blows. In argumont the tack is sharp and pointed, but the display of either or both, depends largely on the amount of pressure emplovod by its opponent, in direct contrast to a good joke, the amusement generally coinmenoes before you see the point, and this fact is easily demonstrated by walking the Moor in your stocking foet, a well-kept room on such an occasion averaging two tacks to the square foot. The futuro of the took gives great promise of more extendod usefulness and unlimited possibilities, as several of our most eminent college professors nav ing carefully studied the effect of a sharp tack of reasonable length placed prop erly in a chair or under a cot, are about to introduce taciis. aim (to away wim spring beds in our college gymnasiums, I tree Press. There is to be an exhibition of old boots and shoes in Paris. A Bhow of that sort would be a failuro in this coun try, because after the soleloss tramp has made his selection from the asu neap the omnivorous goat appropriates what is left. N. Y. Com. Adv.
