"That's right!" and, laughing merrily. the happy, triumphant girl lied from the room. It waa at college that Earle Well- man met Howard Baker. They were clonNUiates, and soon bccaluecluM friends. A long time had elapM-d tiuce the day they grad uatiil, when Earle received a letter from Howard, written on his dy ing lied. In it lie implored Earle to lie Come guardian to his inotherleMi ten-yenr-old girl. ".She is rich in worldly lfoods,"he wrote, "but without a home." Earle accepted tho charge, ami placed Dorothy linker under hi mother's loving care. This was eight years ago. Dorothy, or little Mix Dot.ua ahe was generally railed, owing to her petite form and chililinh ways at ten, willful yet loving, a aparkling bit of fun and cheer, was changed but little at the age of eighteen; while Earle Wellmun, Bt ill handwiiiie at thirty-nine, had ht tho frank, merry hearted way that hud once characterized him, and had grown coldly stern and reclling to all, except iug the irreaiiitible Dot. It was true, aa the wrvants said, (hat Dot could win a smile, even a snatch of true, ringing laughter from Earle Well man while others failed. Her chililinh wiuiuimeneKS nncoiiaciouidy couiielled all to love her. Her irvpn-ihle iiupul livened waa forever causing her tniuhle, yet the wot alwayt ready to soothe and cheer others with her toft, caressing wava. Willfully defiant one moment. trangely quiet and lovingly docile the next, the had woven herself around Mrs. Wellman't heart until the seemed like an own daughter. It hail Urn a happy household of four until the discovery that Lucie cllman had eloped with struggling artist, rob bed it of all its sunshine, crushing out the life of the gentle mother, for the tudden blow won too heavy. Then it was that Earle Wellman changi-d a change no quick aud complete that it waa difhcult to realize ami believe. He open' fd one letter from the erring girl, plead' in if for forgiveness, thus obtaining her address, so that he could forward one- half the fortune bequeathed him at hit mother's death, aud forbade her ever to let him w-e her face again. Then he asked Dot to n-fruin from tittering her Dame in hit presence, laying hit mother'! tudden death at her d s.r. True, Lucie had pleaded with her brother to allow her to marry the artist. whom the dcclan-d ahe lovetL All to bo avail. Hail appealed to the mother, but the Kin ruled, and the young girl lvft them. Since turn Earle hud not aeen her, and her nnmenius letters were thrown on the burning coals unopeued. Dot ttill remained, and the active housekeeper and servants were all the uouipaniotit ahe bail iu the large, roomy mansion. Earle spent nnt or lilt urns n the city, and Dot waa left to amuse vrself the best she could. She Uilaaed Lucie tore!, and had attempted U tniach the luhii-ct manr times, hot Earle'i chilling hantenr hod sil. nr.-d her fcbe found no chaw-e now to be lone some. Iiahv. aa she continued to cul her, claimed all her time and the chile' clung to her with passionate fondnesa. Leading the child, IM went int Earle's at-tidy one day. He wa, as of the day the little stranger had fallen inU bis hands so mysteriously, just one yeal ago, lazilr reclining in the same chair. "Ah, Mis Dot, yoa bare Daby. a nnal." "Why, of course!

"Think of your mother iu heaven pleading for her hotucl.'ss child, bit) loved aud would have forgiven her, ir spite of all. Uuardy, for her take, cab her bs k." With a stifled groan he staggered to chair, burying his face iu both hands. Dot cast herself down at bis feet, laying on hatiil on Ills Uiwed head. "Guanlyr" Then wai depth ol pitying tenderness in her young voice "Let me tell you what I know of Lucie. She is in It , alone. Her htuUnd if dead, and the is longing to return home. I long to hare her. Her husliand wm true, Gnardy, and she loved him to th end. Think of that. Oh, say something to me! This awful silence frightens tut so. He lifted bis head slowly. "Let me think, Iv.t. I am bewll dcred," and he passed hi hand over his forehead. "Yes, think. Uuardy! Think of tin long years that hare ndb-d by since tlx last saw her home her brother! And, oh, Uuardy, think of the long, heart broken year that has pasaed since tin hebl her baby in her arms. Think how be is yearning to feel the touch of warm, baby lijst once more. Knowing all this, rau you refuse to allow her to return home?" "Her baby!" "Yes, ltahy! Thit I hers. Her owr Alice, named after your mother. Oh, don't wild her away Tand the girl sprang op, clasping both arm closely around the child. "This Lucie' child? Am I dream Ingr "No, it Is true," and she placed thr liaby girl in his anus. . Without a word he dropMd his head over that of the wandering child. "And you knew it. Mis Dot?" "Ye. I knew it," she n'ts-ated humbly. "I hoped you would leum to lore liaby; then, for her take, would forgive Lucie, Will you do so, UuardjT "Let me think. Leave me for min ute.

"Will yon forgive uie for my deceit and intrigue first" "I have nothing to forgive, little Mim Dot," and her eyes brightened aa the old pet name fell on her ear. She rlowd the d.Kir geutly, throwing one backward glance at him as he snt With Imwed head. A few minute later the door was pushed otM-n.

He sprang from the chair, took two ttei toward the slight, black robed figure, then turned from her. "No, Uuardr!
