SUMMER'S ! GOOD-BYE

An' catches up the leaves that fall an' blow ;

There's or sorter quiet sadness as the will

That makes 11 feller lonesome when the sum

An' is answered by the farm boy when the sum

SIDNEY'S MISTAKE.
How Ho Found Out That He
Needed Clara.
O LET me arrange -
range your tie ,
8yd. That's just
like last night ;
every time I
looked at you I
thought it was
trying to get
around behind
your ear. There I
that's better.
Now I must run
and get that
tiny bouquet for
your buttonhole -
hole , and then
I'll have you oft
my hands for
this day , " said pretty Clara Leslie , as
she tripped out of the room.
"Sydney , why don't you propose to
Clara ? "
'Why ' don't I propose to Clara ? Is
that a conundrum. Aunt Martha ? If it
is , I give it up. I never wis any hand
at conundrums. "
"Now , Sydney , you needn't appear so
mystified. I'm not blind to the lovemaking -
making that is going on under my eyes
every day. "
"If there is any love-making I assure
you it's all on one side. "
"Sydney , that is a conceit. You im
agine all the fair sex fall in love with
that handsome face of yours. Now , I
have no doubt Clara would be willing
ing"Yes
"Yes , aunt , there's where the trouble
is. She is too willing by half ; and the
fruit that will fall without picking is
rather too mellow for me. "
"Sydney ! " and Aunt Martha gazed
solemnly through her spectacles at her
idolized nephew , as she said slowly :
"You'll never get a better wife than
Clara. The truth of the matter is she
has spoiled you. You can not afford to
hire a valet , and how you are going to
wait on yourself for the remainder of
your life is a mystery to me. She at
tends to your slightest wishes , and as
for your wardrobe she has taken it out
of my hands altogether , and I'm sure it
ought to bo held up as a model to all
the wives in the country. "
"I agree with every thing you say ,
aunt Your protege is the most charm
ing little creature in existence. I do
not know what I should do without her.
But then , you know , one gets tired of
being made love to all the time , and I
always did think marriage a deuced
bore something I couldn't think of , I
assure you , aunt. "
"Sydney , here is your bouquet , and it
is time you were going , " said Clara , en
tering the room.
Clara's fingers trembled as she fast
ened the flowers in his button-hole , brtf.
"LET MK ARRANGE TOTTB TIE. "
Sydney was surveying himself in an op
posite mirror , and never noticed it.
"Clara , , you are an angeL By-by , "
and Sydney Lehman stooped and
touched the velvety cheek lightly with
his mustached lips. ' ,
"Clara , " said. Aunt Martha , as the hall
door closed after , her nephew , "you
should let Sy'6TneywaiVon himself.
He's like all the rest of the men the

him just now. " ,
"I did hear him , " said Clara , quietly.
"I was in , the other room and overheard
the whole , conversation. But , never
mind , Sydneyt will change his mind be
fore long ; see.iHie don't"
"I think Clara might have left every
thing ready for me. She knew I was
going to the opera this evening , " said-
Sydney Lehman , with an Injured air. a
few weeks later.
"I suppose she thought she would got
back before you wanted to tro , " re
marked Aunt Martha.
"I don't suppose she thought about it.
She is so taken up with Ed Campbell of
late that I may go to the dogs for all
she cares , " and Sydney started to his
room to make himself presentable , and
an hour afterward was trying to enjoy
the opera.
"I'm going to drop In at Mrs. Mur
ray's. Will you como along , Lehman ? "
said Tom Hammond to his friend Syd
ney Lehman , as they wore leaving the
opora-houso.
No ; Sydney thought ho wouldn't He
didn't feel like himself to-night But
Tom urged and dually ho went.
He had scarcely entered the reception-
room when his eyes fell upon Clara ,
looking lovely in a cloud of white tulle ,
looped up here and there with water

lilies , dancing the german with Mr.
Campbell.
"Confound it all ! Why didn't I go
home ? I hate to look at that follow
lately. Conceited fop ! What can a sen
sible girl like Clara see in him ? "
Such were Sydney's thoughts as he
stood looking daggers at Mr. Campbell
After .awhile his attention turned to
Clara.
How lovely she looked in her dress
and misty white !
"By Georgol I never knew Clara was
so beautiful ! " was his mental comment
when the day was over.
"Well if I wouldn't stay at home for
ever before I would come out looking
like that , " was Clara's first salutation , as
she joined Sydney. "What a color to
wear atnight , ' * and she touched Sydney's
tie with her fan. "Why didn't you t
me you were coming and I would have
left every thing in readiness for you ? "
"Didn't I tell you I was going to the
opera ? "
' Oh , so you did , and I forgot all about
it ! But you know I was out driving
with Mr. Campbell all the afternoon.
And , oh ! Syd , we had such a delightful
time ! We- "
"There , that will do ; I'm not inter
ested in the sort of a time you had.
Here comes that dandy to claim you for
the next dance. 1 think I'll go home.
Good-night , " and Sydney turned away
as Mr. Campbell approached.
"Syd , you are growing bearish , " said
Clara next day.
"No wonder when a fellow can never
find any thing he wants. "
"Well , you can't expect me to wait
upon you at every turn. You are big
enough and ugly enough to look out for
your own things , " and Clara laughed
provokingly.
"Look out for my own things ! " said
Sydney , his color rising. "I should say
1 had looked for them. I have turned
every thing in the room inside out and
the place is a litter of disorder. "
"Clara , do run upstairs and see what
you can do for him , " said Aunt Martha ,
smilipg.
Clara left the room , followed by Syd

ney."Oh
"Oh ! oh ! oh ! " exclaimed Clara , rais
ing her hands in horror as she entered
Sydney's room. "Did any one ever see
such a room1
No , I don't think any one ever did ; it
baffled description.
Sydney trampled on what had been
the contents of his bureau , and crossing
the room , leaned his elbow on the man
tel , while Clara looked around her in
'
bewilderment , hardly knowing where
to begin to straighten things.
"Clara , " said Sidney suddenly. "I
don't believe you care for me any more.
"Who told you that I over did care for
you ? " retorted she saucily.
"I know you did at one time ; but then
I didn't know how to appreciate it I
don't see , though , how a sensible girl
like yon can care for such a. coxcomb as
Campbell. But there ! I believe sensible
girls always make fools of themselves
in such matters. "
"Then make an exception of me ,
Sydney , for I assure you I care nothing
for Mr. Campbell. "
"Is that true , Clara ? " and Sidney had
to step over the contents of his wardrobe
to gain Clara's side. "I'm glad I thought
you did , for I never knew how much I
loved you until I thought I had lost you.
I never can get along without you ,
Clara. Will you be my own little wife ? "
"I I thought you considered mar
riage an awful bore , Syd ? "
"So I did , my love. But 1 made a
mistake. Now I know that I need a
wife , and there is only one woman in
the world that I would choose for that
distinction. She is my bewitching and
incomparable Clara Leslie. "
To prove the sincerity of his words he
pressed her to his breast and imprinted
upon her lips a number of kisses that
were received without the slightest
manifestations of disapproval
Three months from that day Clara
Leslie was a bride and Sydney was the
happy man. Pawtuoket Times.
