from Dig Ben came floating over tho
Orccn .park as n sort of .benediction
on the rapidly dying year. The roar

melody startled Citrnon from the inv

upright In hla chair, ho bald, aloud:
"What memories that Bong recalls!
'How my loneliness grows upon met

Abide by the result. What's that rc

ttho gay throng outside? Hero In this
mighty crowded city I am as lonely
a a man lost In a desert." Ho roso and,
going to the other side of tho room,
opened a cabinet and took from It n
'bundle ot letters, sonic dozen. They
were faded nnd boro traces of much
handling. Aftor leading, ho replaced
them, and, walking to thb photograph
of a child on the wall, Indulged In
jtoUloQuy.
-i know you not, my swert

Tho circumstances under which his
letters to tho girl went astray weio to
him mysterious, but, as n matter or
fact, easily explained. Tho girl was
the daughter of a country hlwyer, nnd
ho bad made 'her acquaintance when
sho was staying lu a boarding houso
In Bloorasbury, In which ho was also
a lodger. Her rnason for being In
towu was that sho might Improve n
somowhat neglected education, nnd
she was taking singing lessons nt n

Jlst doing so arrived J
when the aunt be
ll eed sho was ar
ranging a highly
desirable engage
ment for hor niece,
and on tho prln
clplo ot (long
wrong that, good'
may conic, she kept
back thn notes of
this obviously poor
suitor.
Cat son often felt
destitute, but never
ho utterly as thou,
aud as he paced the
lloor the laughter
of the hf.ppy crowd seemed to mock
him. Ho rang tho bell and ordered
Home tea. The dcnime llttlo maid
looked ni him, and, going down stairs,
nald:
"Poor Mr. Carhoit, lie looks so
ftiange and uilheruhlo!"
Returning, she found him sitting In
his chair gazing with half-closed eyes
Into the lire. Placing tho tea on a
hinall wlikor table by his side, ehc at
tracted his attention by the question,
"Anything cle, sir?"
"No," was tho reply, "but, see, this
Is New Year's Kve. You've been a good
servant to me, nt least. Hay yoiirsolu
something," hnndini her a sovereign.
The amount of the gift bereft tho girl
of the power of speech, and with a
curtesy, eloquent In Itself of gratitude,
Fhe left.
Carson, sipping his ten, again solilo
quized. "It's now within nu hour and
a quniter of the New Year. What
will that year bring Into my life? It
cannot bring the light of love nnd
companionship. The same round ot
weeks and months, and so It will bo
to the end. Ten years ago, In Old
Kentucky, we said 'flood-by.' It was
a 'good-by forever."
Apostrophizing the absent woman,
ho continued: "Leila, Leila, to my
grave I take with mo tho love 1 bear
you. Why did we II vo to bo parted so
ruthlessly? What strange fate has so
guided our destinies?"
IIcHurncd to tho story of Kvangellno
and read ot the sufferings of that
heroic character. The wading soothed
him and he fell asleep.
The clocks were striking tho twelfth
Kroko of midnight when he awoke.
He barely opened his ejes, then close!
them again, and llhteued to the Joyous
ralutatloiiH of people meeting lu the
streetB. He, was not selfish, neither
was ho had uatiircd. No man who
every truly loved can be altogether
either. As ho listened he said:
"I wish for all u bright New Yenr,
and Leila, my nbacnt Leila, whom 1
shall never sec again, may your life
know no sorrow, may yours never be
tho aching hcait, and may you be
blessed In your children growing up
around you. My Leila "
Ho did not finish thu sentence, but
tiie teats e.uno trickling down his
checks as he rc.illzed his bnrren life.
Then be became conscious that sonio
ono had come Into the room and been
n witness nt his weakness and his se
cretsecret because society said Wal
ter Carson carried his heart ou his
sleeve and was Incapable of deep affec
tion. So sitting up and turning round
he was startled to see seated on a
chair a tall lady, clad In deep mourn
ing anil veiled so heavily that ho was
unable to distinguish her face.
"Madam," ho inquired, too tnken
aback even to gel up, "I; should liko to
know why I am thus honored?"
"I came In with tho New Year. Not
an omen ot Ill-luck, I hope," replied
a inimical voice: "but I first want to
know If Walter Carson is not an as-
sumod nnmo?"
"Why do you nsk such a question?"
"For the best of good rensons, und
as you will not tell ino, perhaps you
"I KNOW YOU NOT. SWEET CHILD.''
; will allow mo to say that I think your
real name Is, Herbeit Wilton," pro
ceeded tho mysterious Btrnngcr.
Carson was uttorly unprepared for
this, and his surprise was painfully
manifest. Appearing not to notice it,
tho lady wont on:
"You aio unhappy, I know, Mr. Wil
ton. I shall not call you Mr. Carson.
I am certain ot It, because I was watch
ing you for ton minutes beforo yoii
opened your eyes. Can I bo ot any
help to you?"
"I don't usderatand you, madam,"
answered Carson. "I havo no trouble,
at least nono that you could assist
tno in."
"Has it any connection with an old
love affair?" vory slowly asked tho
veiled visitor.
"I must decllno to discuss my pri
vate mnttora with an utter Btrangor,"
replied Carson, Jumping up.
"Am I an utter stranger, Horbext?"

responded tho stranger, nh:o rilr.K,
and as alio did to throwing back her
veil.
"Leila!" gasped Carson, looking
Incredulously Into her face.
"Yes, Leila." was tho answer whis
pered, whllo her urms stolo round hla
neck, "come back to you with tho New
Year, never to leave your side until It'
so pleases God."
Then they sat down anil alio told
him how, three years before, after be-
lng left a widow, tsho determined to
Hntl out what had becomo of the sweet
heart of her younger days. How, by
a chapter of happy accidents, Bhe
learned tbnt he was In London. How,
on knowing this, alio hurried ovcr lanij
and sea, and Just nt tho birth of the
New Year entered his room. Sho saw
the tears fall from his eyes, heard her
name mentioned, and his blessing go
out to her. All doubts wcro the at
an end.
"My children will be here by the
next boat, nnd you must bo to them a
father. Now I must go, as I'm weary
with tho excitement ot the day."
Carson drove her to her hotel, and
to him tho New Year hells never
sccnicTl to have rung such merry peals.
They railg Into his life a New Yenr Is
every son8C. A few days later there
waa a quiet marriage, and on the fol
lowing New Yenr's Eve, as Carson atrl
"I CAME IN WITH THE NEW
YEAH." "
his wife listened to tho hour ot mid
night strike, they thought, with hearts
full of love nnd gmtltudc, of 'the joy
ous meeting twelve months before.
Ilopei nt tliti Future, i
With the coming of the Now1 Year
all our hopes of futuro good for ofir
selves and for humanity at largo re-,
iccelvu a new Impulse and an accession
of power. If we nro alive to the wide
extension ot knowledge, the conquest
of tho material world, tho Imminence
of new and important discoveries und
changes which shall make the possibil
ities of life more Interesting and beau
tiful, wo cannot but rejoice that wo
aro born Into this wonderful epoch.
Tennyson's poem, written in tho flush
of young manhood, voiced the scien
tific fact In eloquence that can never
bo forgotten, but tho thoughts of men
nro widened by the process of the
suns. lt is tuily to the thoughts of men
thnt we owe all the triumphs ot civil
ization, the triumphs of religion, art,
Industry and science, as In the last re
sort all that Is and all that we hopn
for resides In the thoughts of men nnd
In tho feelings and emotions which
give birth to theso thoughts, nnd be
tween which there is such a constant
interaction,
IUUnrlne Our Ilooki.
When the year Is ended and the
final Humming up of accounts Is finish
ed, It Is comforting to look back and
to be able to say, In all sincerity, thnt
wo havo done tho best we could for our
selves nnd for thoso about us, It is
more than comforting to seo that wo
havo gained something, that our ef
forts have been crowned with success,
nnd that wo nro by this advance
ment enabled to scoro n victory, even
though It may bo trifling, over ad
voreo ciicumstnnces. Is encourages us
to rcdoublo our efforts to mako a bet
ter showing for tho years to come, to
so order our affairs that this season's
gain will bo but tho beginning of bet
tor things, and that tho great and
grand fabric of bur futuro may rise,
over increasing, over moro and more
beautiful, and end In n noble, manly,
womanly, Christian, symmetrical char
acter that will mako its possessor
known and honored of nil men.
To tho You lie
Whllo tho opening of tho Now Year Is
a slgnllknnt season for persons of all

And after full consideration the find

of the majority Is approved.
As to the further expression of his
views by the same member with regard
to the questions of command on the
morning of July II, 1H9S, and of the
title to credit for the ensuing victory,
the conduct of thu court in making no
finding and rendering no opinion on
those questions is npprmed indeed it
could with propriety take no other
course, evidenco on these questions
during the Inquiry having been ex
cluded by the court.

the llscul year 1900-1001 wub 383,931,
as against 341,712 for the year previous,
an incrcaso of 47,219. Tho total num
