" A heap Year ( t/aU.ldo Mir. ) "My heart is broken ! " The words came with a strange , passion ate force from the lips of Mignon Mo Kulty as she stood' beneath the larchas that beautiful Juno evening and looked tenderly up at Georeo W. Simpson , ant in the fathomless depths of her groa brown eyes there was a wistful , fear haunted look that told its own sad story of a sorrow that was almost despair. The man made no reply to the girl , nor did ho even look at her. His fuco vras turned away , and , although ho could fee ! the little hand that rested ao lightly or his shoulder tremble like an aspen , there vraa no sign in his faca by which one could result his thoughts. It was a hand some face the linen perfect in their contour , and the fair , white skin wai man tied hero and there by just the suggcstioi of a deeper color and yet , if one lookcc closely , there was something unpleasan about it all , and the clear gray eyes hold ever a lurking expression of firmness that might easily have become cruelty. 1 waa a face that came nearest tellim ; ita own storv when in perfect repose. When George W. Simpson became engaged in conversation , wunibii called him divine. The riant mouth , wreathed' in the sun most of 'smiles , lost all the rigHity ot lines that characterized it at other times , and the gray eyes looking into youra BI frankly seemed but open portals to .1 sou ! within whose precincts thu gaunt , horri ble figures of dispairand doubt had never stalked with echoing tread. At last ho turned to Miguon. " 1 must go now , " ho aaid , passing his wo- manly-whito hand tcndeily over the girl's brow and then kissing her there in reverent fashion. "Will you not say good-by ? " There was no answer , and he walked slowly down the pathway leading to the gate , Mignon standing there like one in a trance. In the West the sun was sink ing to rest , and over the girl's head a lark uttered its musical cry as it flow swiftly by. Not far away was a horse- car. car.Tho girl did not move. The lark was lost in the far blue over head ; the street-car sped on and on until the last gleam of its rear platform van ished ; the sun sank lower and lower , till it glowed a globe of flame upon the edge of the horizon. Through - all this Mignon never moved , but stood there under the larches with her head drooped upon her breast , her form thrown out dark and motionless against the gold of the western sky , and on her face the look of one to whom death would bo a blessing. The'sun sank entirely , leaving only a trail of flame across the heavens ; the wind rose and blow back from her forehead the masses of blue-black hair that clustered there. She started then , as if awakened from a dream , and walked avrittly into the house. Her mother , hearing the well-known footdtops , mot her at the door. Ono glance told her nil. "You have failed. " "Yes , " answered Mignon , "ho says ho ill marry no one , , and that leap-year is nothing but a foolish tradition.He is a heartless coquet. But lot him beware. There is ono whom ho may yet meet wliojo witchery ho cannot escape , even if ho would. Prey Heaven she may come this way. " and the girl sank weeping upon a fauteuil. * "Ol whom do you speak ? " asked her mother. "Who is this peerless boa- ty ? " Looking steadily other mother Mignon hissed through her now tooth the fatal words : "Susan B. Anthony. " Don't bo Faint Heart eel If you aroln trouble look up , hold ongive the blues good by.
