TOM DOLSEE.

[John Habberton in The Current] The richest people are not always the happtrot, but on the last day of December of a year that need not be designated by its calendar number, the most joyous heart in tbe little manufacturing city of Thornton, was Mrs. Alice Arthray, wife of th? owner of tlie great Arthray mills. Although »be had passed her fortieth birthday, she would not have exchange-l places with the prettiest girl in the city, of which, when she and Thornton were twenty years younger, she hadbeen, though poor and simple, the reigning belle.Good health, a clear conscience, a good husband and an active mind, had so steadily increased her beauty, spiritB and appreciation of everything worth enjoying that she looked forward eagerly to the year to come, instead of longing for those which had passed. Although most of her time was spent in New York, she was the ruling spirit of her native town, for 6he never returned to her Thornton .residence without at least one new bobby that all her old acquaintances were eager to ride.

This time her hobby was New Year's calls. Thornton society had so divided and subdivided ituelf into cliques that families, once on intimate terms, now scarcely saw one another. Mrs. Arthray belioved the original Knickerbocker system of receiving one's old acquaintances on New Year's day would break up this undesirable exclusiveness, and she was now, for the first time, able to put her theory into practice. At least a score of other ladies were willing to assist at their own homes.

Oscar Arthvay fully approved his wife's plan his only advice was: "Don't neglect any of your old admirers, my dear, even if they're now prosy old farmers or stupid mechanics. I don't want any one of them to remain miserable under the impression that you might have been happier had you married him instead of me. Men will be fools on the subject of their old flames, unless absolutely prevented."

So Mrs. Arthray mailed cards to all whom she could remember, whether she had recently seen them or not, and her memory proved so good that the postoffice clerk was mystified at seeing tiny envelopes addressed to several men who had been dead for years.

Among the young men whom Mi's. Arthray remembered pleasantly was Tom Dolser indeed, she had never known anything against him except that he sometimes drank liquor. She had long ceased to know or hear anything about him, but most of the old residents knew that Tom had become the most hopeless sot in the village. His home was the stable of the common tavern that had once been the village hotel, and for serving in the bar-room as boot-black and general messenger, be was allowed to eat with the landlord's colored servants. His wardrobe was supplied from the cast-off clothing of stable-boys, yet his dress never was as unsightly as.hi8 countenance. Only two friends of his youthful days remained to him—rum and the river the latter could not cast him eft if it would, and he would not abandon tbe former if he conld when be could get rum, be was happy when be could not, he solaced himself by lounging on the river bank and listening to the only village babbler that talked a* it used to and never upbraided him.

Late in the afternoon of the day preceding the begining of New Year's calls in Thornton, Tom Dolser returned from along errand and entered the bar of the tavern in a doleful frame of mind, for tbe trip was to yield hint only 10 ceuts tbe next day, New Year's, could hardly bring him business of any kind, there being no travelers with boots to black in town on holiday, so how was lie to get his customary stimulus? The prospect unmanned him—aalmost anything could—and he felt like cry* ing, but after some effort be succeeded in swearing instead. As he shuffled to his place on the bootblack's bench he was startled by shouts of: "Here he is now!" "Tom, you're in lnckl* "There's a week of solid bliss ahead of youf* and other remarks of purport.

The sot looked about Mm defiantly he been the subject of very rough jokes in bar-room. He stared inquiringly at the bar. keeper, who always spoke with authority when he spoke at all. "They mean it, Tom," said the great poisoner. "The New York fashion of New Year's calk Is to be taken np ken to-morrow—Arth-ray's wife started it—and the fellows here think 'twill be fun to keep the women and the men who are to call on fen, awake all through to-night, so they'll all feel good and stale to-morrow." "I dont want to get into the lockup," Ton, shuffling again toward the bootblack's bendh and looking muck disappointed. "There's no danger of that, Tom," explained sue of tbe opponents of Sew Year's innovaturas

from

New York "All the bells of

Thornton are always rang at midnight of the last year, bat the racket sometimes ends pretty soon, because tbe lingers get tired and havpt anything to brace 'em up. Now, jpst

see now loveiy we ro arranged un wuon thing the old schoolhouse is right in the middle of the town, its bell is the easiest of the whole lot to ring,' and yet itB jingle is so infernally loud that nobody can help hearin' it We've got the keys you take 'em, go in just before^2, lock younielf in so nobody can. get at you, take life easy until the other bells shut np, and then begin and ring, first with one hand, and then with the other, straight through 'till" daylight. We'll lead yon a horse-blanket to keep you warm, give you a pint of whisky to keep yon company, and, if yon see the job through, yon shall havefne rum at tbe bar here,*11 dayl to-morrow and for a week afterward——eh. Teetisf •Fact." replied the barkeeper. "Tbe boys are to pay the scor^" "111 do it," said Tom, "if you'll see me through from now till midnight." said T6m. "Ob, no," laughed the exponnder of {the conspiracy, "or you wont be fit to .do jthe job."

Tom curled up resignedly on his bench eight hours would be along time to wait, but then be would have a pint—a pint at a time, of his'f&vorite substitute for food and clothing. Soon he was roused, however, by some one saying:

Tom slowly extended hit hand and took the letter. "Better hire a room an' lock yourself in fore you open it," suggested one lounger. "P'raps it's from the secretary ny the treasury, an' got a check in it for interest on yer registered bonds." "More likely It's from a tailor that trusted ¥om «%en the bummer wore good clothes," said another.

The envelope was thin enough tor Tom to read through It the name, "Mtsl Orcar Arthray'" in remarkably uniform letters. As be read, some one rttnarked: "Like enough it's from some .woman who's taken with his style, an' wants him to make love to her."

Tom began to lay the letter on tbe bar but as the speaker ended tbe remark, the drunkard changed his mind and placed the missive between hife teeth—then he picked np a chair and felled his toniienter to Sie floor. There was a dead silence for a moment, such as usually follows any manifestation of honorable feeling in a bar-room ibeanwhile, Tom went to a basin in a corner, washed his hands, took the envelope from its somewhat inappropriate position, and left the room.

What could Mrs. Arthray want of him? He supposed that she had forgotten him long agb. Not that he had forgotten her he never saw her in the street—where she always passed him without recognition—without realizing keenly for a moment how wide and deep was the gulf that separated him from the friends of his youth for had not that glorious woman's hand often made his coat-sleeve feel a little fuller than usual in the old days—had not his voice blended ip the church choir—had not he and she taken part in many an innocent village frolic? Some of his early acquaintances had grown sad and old, but she seemed to bave discovered the secret of perpetual youth. Could it be that—enraging thought!— that now she, who once had been his companion, wanted him for some menial service on the morrow, some service such as he was often called on to do for other people?

He went to the stable-loft, and broke tbe envelope it contained merely a card bearing he lady's name, and the line: "At home, January 1 from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m." "Great heavens!" exclaimed Tom, "it must mean that I am invited to call on her! Then she can't kuow that—she can't ever have seen or heard—she—oh, my God!"

The poor wretch imagined for a moment Mrs. Arthray and himself standing face to face, and his little strength deserted him so entirely that he fell as if struck by paralysis. He covered his face with his hands, groaned, swore, cried, and exclaimed, "awful, awful, awful!"

Suddenly be sprang to his feet, hurried out of the stable and toward the river. The sun had set, the shopkeepers were lighting their lamps, but no matter,"the darker the better," muttered Tom to hiftiself "I don't want anybody to see me now." He went through the least frequented streets, he almost ran, and before the darkness had entirely dosed around him he reached the shore.

He bad meant to end his misery by a sudden plunge, but his feeble, nerves were already exhausted by his unusual exertion, and he paused to recover courage. He tried to regain strength and resolution, by withdrawing from his pocket the little bit of pasteboard that had worked such a change in his apathetic, brutish life. But the spell did not work as he wished. Into Mis bewildered brain came the thought that Alice Arthray henelf—the handsonkst woman in Thornton, the noblest woman he had ever known or heard of, had touched that same card—bad sent it to him. He seemed to profane the1 card by touching it, yet at the same time tbe insensate thing seemed to be placing before his eyes incident after incident of his early liff. In imagination he became his old self again, and at last he turned again toward the town, saying to hiinself: "Better be a happy fool, while it lasts, than a dead one."

But the charm did not last By tbe time he reached the tavern he had sworn to reform and then sworn to steal rnm and get blind drunk as soon as possible be did not keep either oath, but slunk into bis own place in tbe bar-room and gratefully took a glass of rum which the barkeeper, in admiration of the only man who had ever In that room resented an insult to a lady,silently banded him. Tbe stuff made him entirely his old self again he forgot Mrs. Arthray, his good resolutions, bis bad resolves, and everything else bat the thought that at 12 o'clock he wae to have a pint of whisky, and from daylight of the next morning be was to have unlimited liquor for a week.

It seemed to him the hours from 0 o'clock to Vi would never pass. He tried to deep, bat could not Tbe smell of tbe liquor that began to flow in profusion as. the evening loungers gathered, almost, maddened him, and ha begged one man after another to give him just one drink, but all were obdurate, for they knew of the part that Tom was to play and they wanted Mm to be sober eooogh to do all that was planned far him.

At the stroke of 11, he arose in desperation and went out of doors to keep the sight and smell of his liquid enemy from tormenting him any longer. The night was bitter cold, so he sneaked- into a little bed-room in the stable, and stole the sleeping coachman's ukft to keep him warm while be waited in

"Teetis, you forgbt to give Toni his letter.'" "By the shillelah of St. Patrick, so I did!" exclaimed tbe bar-tender, hastily taking a small envelope from behind tbe bar where it bad rested against a bottle labeled "Old Tom Gin." "What cowardly trick are they playing on me now!" thought Tom to himself, as he slowly rose to his feet. Again be appealed, with his eyes, to tbe barkeeper and tbat official responded: "It's no joke, Tom. One of the postoffice clerks said he put it in our box because be beard you came herd oftener tban anywhere

He turned np the great collar of tbe coat, so that It covered his ears he thrust his hands deep hi the pockets he .felt gloves he pat them on.

By—,1 half feel as if I was a ^man •gain I wonder—"

What he wondered he conld never afterwvd mnember, for .he suddenly encountered something that felt like a. post, but which, as It fell 'otter, proved to te a man with a lantern, beside whom a womaw appeared to bavebefcn iralking« f?oa sti!pid fellow I" exclaimed tbe mkn as bd regained hls feet "who are you?* "Toih Dolser," replied tbe driMcaijd daflantly: beseemed to have absorbed a gnat deal of coprage from the coaijunan^iooat and gloves.

"An of my wife may run against me in the whenever helikes." "Oscar is going to ring the chimes old church to-night, ind I'm going foroompany," said

answered the question by tttkinfc one dthis arms and telling bar husband to tan the other and hnrry along. "Else the year will get there befor* as," she explained., Then, after a little pausi aba continued: "You tot seem overjoyid at meeting us, Tom?" "Then my manners dont toll the truth," said Tom, getting possession at his tongie at last "but I've been.too astonifhed to )»fssk I'll walk a little wajr with yon, but I toast burry away then.* ("Curse that schoolhouse belli" thought he to himself "Fd cht tM job If twasn't for the pint that's waiting foci Wk I hope Arthray wont get his lantern inn? faco r: "Hurty home to your wife itidfanllyf" asked Mn. Arthray. "Bow many cbjlilren have you? Webavefour,"

Tm not marrie^," said Tom, and as besaid it through his teeth, Mrs. Arthray blamed herself for] not having kept herself Well enough informed about ber old friends to avoid distressing topics. She hurried back to tbe subject of the chimes. "Ob, I forgot to tell you, this is an entirely new set of chimes, so you must come and try them. One of the old bells or gongs, as Oscar persists in calling them, was cracked, you biow, and my husband got the vestry's permission to replace them all, and he thinks the new set will be sweeter than the old tbat you and I heard so often when we were children. You will come just for a few moments, won't you?" "Do, Mr. Dolser," said Arthray, "and help us to double the meaning of "Ring opt the old, ing in the new." "With the greatest pleasure," said Tom. He felt that be was under false colors, but he believed they would protect him if only that dreadful lantern would be merciful. He would plead neuralgia, toothache, anything to keep his face hidden by the ulster's collar he would enjoy honorable company for a little while the schoolhouse bell could wait —no one would miss it while the other bells were ringing.

Then he slowly learned that he could chat, for Mrs. Arthray talked cheerily of old times, and aroused memories which unloosed his tongue, so that by. tbe time the old church tower was reached, Tom had entirely forgotten his task for tho night and his remuneration that was to last for a week.

Arthray set his lantern in a window-ledge behind him, to Tom's great relief, took the two little mallets and rang out "Old Hundred" with great precision and force no other bells had yet begun, for the hour had not yet struck. Then, like a good patriot, he rang "Yankee Doodle." The clock below then struck

12,

and the general jangle be

gan. The delicate notes of the chimes would be lost in such clamor, so the trio stood and chatted. Arthray, who was as curious and ignorant about local affairs as active business men usually are, asked numerous questions, to all of which Tom made prompt reply, although frequently compelled to throw hinwoif upon his imagination—he would commit any crime rather than have Mrs. Arthray suspect that he was not what she seemed to believe him.

One by one tbe bells grew silent, and again Arthray rang the chimes: when he rang "Adeste Fideles," Tom broke down he had heard his mother sing it thousands of times. He turned abruptly to Mrs. Arthray and said: "1 must go now—this moment" "You won't fail to call to-day said the lady. "Yon received my card, I suppose?" "Alice," mid Tom in low, quick tones, "yon don't know me. Pm the worst drunkard, the lowest/tramp, in all Thornton. I couldn't help being overcome by your kindness to-night, but I've insulted you by even standing near you and speaking to you. I'm ruined, ragged, vile, worthless—I've not felt like a gentleman in ten years until to-night Now, if I do not call, you'll not tell anything that will make other people make fun of me!" "Not calif said Mrs. Arthray, as her husband turned away from the bells. "Certainly you will call—I insist upon it Oscar, Mr. Dolser must hurry away to look after a reforming drunkard who needs everything. I want to help in the good work have you any money in your pocket!"

Arthray handed his wife a small roll of bank notes, tbe lady went to tbe lantern and counted |1U0 from it, and handed them to Tom. "Now, ring just one time before yon ga" said she. "You used to do it so welL" 1 cant Fve entirely forgotten the bells," said Tom. "Ill help you—you can do it with a single mallet—here," As she spoke she placed a mallet in his right hand, seised his wrist with her left, and guided him in playing "Auld Lang Syne," her rich voice ringing near his •w "Should aukl acquaintance be forgot*.

And never brooght to mind? Should auld aogoaintaiioe be torrot, And days of Auld iAng Syne." "There!" said she at.the end of the fourth bar, "now we wont detain yon any longer, but remember that FD be tbe most disiqpointed woman in Thornton, if you dont call to-morrow."

Tn Simplify Matters.

District Attorney Corkhill tells a cor respondent of The Boston Traveler this story about Mr. Starr, once the beet ]$nown lawyer in Iowa: He was unfortunately too fond of liquor, and sometimee appeared in court un der its influence. Such was the case once at Des Moines, before the full bench of. the supreme court in an important triaL Arising slowly and with some difficulty Btarr said: "May it please the court, I have been engaged as counsel for the plaintiff in this suit, but I wish to say that my sympathies are all on the other side. In order to simplify matters I will give you $£ if you will decide the case against me." When tbe chief justice had re covered from his surprise he said, with some asperity: "Mr. Starr, you have insulted the dignity and virtue of this court. We cannot permit even so distinguished a lawyer as yourself to commit so .outrageous an act of impropriety without rebuke, and I give you notice now that I shall fine ydufor contempt" Staggering to his feet, Starr replied, with much gravity: "Your hoiior is laboring under a slight misapprehension, which I trust I shall be able to remove. I didn't mean to offer you $5—I intended to say f5 apiece." Tbe court and spectators were convulsed with laughter, and Starr was at once assisted to his home. There is nothing on record to show that the sentence was ever enforced.

[St Louis Post-Dispatch.

William Yohe claims to be the champion Jack-knife artist of the day, although he was horn in St Loalsandnot Yankeeddm. A Post-Dispatoh reporter heard of this prof^sfronal lacerator of pine sticks and sought Mm out It was not until the inside of an lmu*^ Methodist church at Kirkwood, this (jounty, was reached that Mr. Yohe and h^s knife were-comered. The kcife -was slashing cigarbqxes to pieces at railway speed when the Reporter opened up with: "Are you the man who is making an automatic world's fair and St.

All around the gaunt and dismantled church were piles of cigar boxes and laths and myriads of nicely carved little pieces of wood, apparently portions of models of buildings. The whittler was a small man, with keen eyes and ready tongue, and about 36 years of age. In the course of an hour's conversation hQ said in substance "I didn't know that I was any* thing extra of a whittler until about 1869, when in a small way I made some models. I was in Texas working at millwrigh&ing. The first large piece I ever made was a model of a Bermuda Castle.
