"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. "
