I TALE OF LEAP YEAR -0 'Nothing but a private-a com mon private !' It would be vain to attempt to portray the Lady Macbethian scorn which curved Harriet Dean's lip as she spoke the sentence, John Carlyle, albeit he was quite conscious of not deserving the keen-edged contempt, quailed be neath it, nevertheless. 'But, Harriet-' 'Hush!' said the imperious beau. ty, holding up a warning finger, "I want to understand this matter. Gilbert Armour was promoted to be second lieutenant, was he not ?' 'Yes.' 'And you are his equal in all re spects ?' 'Yes.' 'Might y.ou not also have shared his honors ?' 'I might, I suppose, Harriet,' said the.young soldier, fixing his calm, dark eye upon her fair face, 'if I had chosen to share them at the expense of poor Talcott, who earned his shoulder-straps long ago. They should have been his by every right months since, but poverty and obscurity are not the best place-winners. Either Gil bert Armour or 1 must stand aside to see a wronged man right ed. He did not choose to. sacri fice promotion to a scruple, I did. Harriet, was I wrong ?' 'Oh, of course it is nothing to med' said Miss Dean. 'You were perfectly right in consulting your own choice. Will you be good enough to hand me that work basket ?' John Carlyle sat looking at the pretty creature, around whom the love of his strong nature had been entwined with fervor rare enougb in these matter-of-fact days. In wistful perplexity. Shining au burn hair, parted away from a low, pearl-pure brow ; deep blue eyes, like the velvety petal of a pansy, and a mouth whose intense crimson reminded you of the in side leaves of a Lord Raglan rose she was by no means disagreeable to look at, and Mr. Carlyle was quite sensible of the fact. 'Harriet,' he said, with an un conscious tremor in the syllables 'I came 'Excuse me, sir,' interruptec Miss Dean, with studied ceremony 'I am particularly busy counting these stitches-if you would bE so obliging as not to interrupl me.' All unversed as he was in the devious .windings of feminine na ture, John Carlyle instinctivelj felt that this was no auspicioni season for the furtherance of his suit. S'I'll try again to-night," he mu sed, walking homeward. 'Shi won't be doing crochet .w ork fo,r ever, and I cannot go away ii such torturing suspense as this She is vexed about the shoulder straps; I wish, for her sake, I ha them, yet I would not wear thee tarnished by the faintest stain e injustice or dishonor." eThe clear January sky was jew die of the apartment, docided; conscious of his fine new shouldei straps, and patronizing half: dozen pretty girls. He nodde< laughingly to Carlyle, and wen on with the sentence which th new arrival had interrupted. 'Leap year, to be sure it i; And I may as well state at one tba I'm ready to receive an propositions you ladies may hav to make." 'Nonsense, Gilbert,' said Mar; Elphins'tone, his cousin. 'Nonsense, eh ? Well, I'm gla you consider it in that light don't. I think it's a great sham the girls don't avail themselves o their privilege, when we men ar ready with our.blush.es and timii glances.' He looked at Harriet Dean a he spoke, half in earnest, hal jestingly. John Cat lyle's eye fol lowed the direction of his, as by sort of fascination and saw the rose tint mounting to Harriet'i cheek, and the purple blue eye: hidden by their white lids. Rom long he stood there with a giddj pain surging through his brain and a chill at his heart, as if cold hand was grasping at iti fibers, he did not know; it migh have been five minutes or it migh have been five hours; but he wa, aroused by the breaking up o the little party, the sound of mer ry voices and playful adieux. Harriet Dean was standing un derra chandelier, one white hant resting on the carved back of gothic chair, Gilbert Armour loan ging on a sofa, where the blue sill curtains swept over the entranci to a bay window. As John Car lyle pressed forward Miss Elphin stone laid her hand on his arr softly. 'No-no,' she whispered, arch ly, 'don't you see it's an understooc matter with Gilbert and Harriet' Give me your arm home, for Gil bert will never think of me again. John Carlylo turned silentlh away with white lips and clench ed teeth. Blind to the wistfu glance that shone through Har riet's lashes, the uncertain quive: of her lhps. He was gone, yes thbe field wai clear for the newly made lieuten ant. He advanced a little nerv 'Harriet-' But to his horror and surprisi she burst into a storm of passion ate tears, through wi hich her vio lent eyes flashed with ominoul sparkles. 'Don't speak to me!' she sobbed 'don't come near me, Gilbert Ar mour! I wish you'd go home, an< never come near me again." 'Harriet l' 'How dare you call me Harriet Lieitenant Armour ? Not anothe: word ; I don't want to hear wha you are going to say.' She held open the door, im peially dignified, although th tears hung on her lashes, and thi auburn braids, escaping from thei: pins, swept her shoulders, an Lieutenant Armour walked o)u crestfallen. 'Well, I've got my dismissal, quot.h he to himself, biting his long mustache in impotent wrath~ 'But who would ever have though she was such a confounded litti vixen ?' * * * *. * * 'You might take off the uppe arm just here: without-' S'What's the use ? He won't las out the day any way, and w might as well let him go easily even if we had time to wastei unnecessary operations.' 'I'm not so certain about tha Give the man a chance for hi life. Whbere's the ether ?' j'You want no ether ; he is totall inseunsile.' fThe words fell like mneanlinglei jangles of sound on John Carlyle ear as be lay, one in a mult:itud of dyn~ men. in a weather-beate All at once there came a sudden, sharp, pain, as the surgeon's keen instrument cleft the arm, and then I followed insensibility. t -Ten to one he will die,' said e the surgeon, indifferently, as be replaced the glittering tools. 'There's no use of bandaging it so carefully.' But the young cadet knelt down to f'asten the wrap pings, wondering in his secret heart if the time would ever come when he, two, would speak so carelessly of a fellow-creature's I life, God-given. i John Carlyle did not die, the grim old surgeon to the contrary f notwithstanding. 3 There had been a glorious thun f der-shower. Along the west hung heavy draperies of violet-black clouds, edged with dazzling fringes f of gold, while the blue zenith, smi ling through its brief tears, seemed literally to swim in liquid light. And from far-off apple orchards. 3 pink with billows of tossing blos 3 som, and sunny slopes all enpur pled with wild violets, came sud den sweeps of fragrance on the city winds, carrying the Wall street jobbers and shriveled mon 3 ey-makers back to the time when they were boys, looking for the first strawberry blossom under the 3 rosy canopy of the old apple trees. r The fresh breeze, eddying into - the wide open hotel windows, lifted the damp masses of hair on . John Carlyle's wasted forehead, as he sat in the easy chair beside the casement, and passed its cool fingers softly over his burning temples, as if it fain would whisper. 'Don't repine any longer! Look out on the glad 'blue sky, and feel . heaven's healing sunshine on your cheeks.' As if man ever heeded nature's silent monitions! John Carlyle was no exception to the general rule. - 'A common private! Those were her very words,' he muttered to himself, with a faint crimson spot . burning on his wan cheek-'and crippled now for life! Ah it was -well that I drew back into the shadow of the curtains when I heard her step in the corridor. Why did they bring me here, of . all places in the world ? Must I . drink the bitt.er cup of humiliation to the very dregs? They should have let me die that dismal night in the hospital when the ligature . slipped off and the red life-stream .drained slbwly from the vital sources-that night when fever throbbed in all my veins, aind I .madly fancied I could :leel her tears dropping on my cheek. If I had died-never waking from the delusion! But now a common private witn only one arm!' ,He laughed bitterly as the perpet e ually-recurring conviction pressed itself upon his miud-a laugh that was almost a sob. Only twenty - six, anid weary of his life; it is not 3 often that heart and hope die out of a man's breast at twenty-six. SAnd the clustering domes and spires of the great city, leaning t against the gold and purple cloud columns of the sunset, grew dim, and seemed to reel, as he looked upon them, through the mist that .was more bitter than rivers of salt t tears. e 'John!' He turned listlessly around, fan cying that the word had syllabeled r itself somehow out of the vague imaginings and unspoken fan tasies that were whirling in his brain. e But it was not a fancy. A slender little figure in a deep pink-the very dress.he bad been used to admire long ago-was b. kneeling on the carpet beside him, s and Harriet Deane's auburn hair, gleaming golden in the sunset, fell over the arm of' his chair where the fair head dropped. a 'Harriet!I Not there, dearest a not there. Let me raise you.' e 'Oh, let me kneel here, John !' he sobbed,r 'let me hide my face derly and care for you so fondly : Don't send~ me away from you now, John, or 1 shall die !' The sweet pleading face, with h its velvet blue eyes shining through tears, and quivering scar let mouth-what a new loveliness n it had won to John Carlyle's glad u vision ! 'Harriet,' he said, softly, 'would e you sacrifice your bright, young s life to a common private with 1 only one arm ?' 'I would devote it to the noblest P hero who ever spilled his blood r for his country.' His forehead fell on her shoul- i der; he was sick and dizzy with the flood tide of happiness. s 'Harriet,' said he, after a min- P ute's pause, 'do you know that I fancied you liked Gilbert A:-mour ? The superb scorn on her arched lip was very comical, and not unpleasant to behold. 'Gilbert Armour, indeed ! You are worth ten thousand Gilbert .Y Armours!' 'pEven including his shoulder straps?' She put her hand softly over his lips. 'You must not suppose, sir,' she said, with a pretty defiance which b became her no less than the tear- 9 ful humiliation of a minute before, t 'that I should have come here courting you, if you hadn't been a so sick, and worn, and if-' 'Well ?' 'If it hadn't been leap year?'

Nothing hurts a man, nothing urts a party, so terribly as fool riends. A fool friend is the sower of bad ews. of slander, and all base and npleasant things. A fool friend always knows very mean thing that has beei; aid against you and against the arty. He always know where you? arty is losing, and the other is naking large gains. He always tell you of the good 3ck your enemy has had. He implicitly believes every tory against you, and kindly sus ects your defence. A fool friend is always full of a ind of stupid candor. He is so candid that he always elieves the statement of an ene ly. He never suspects anything on our side. . Nothing pleases him like being bocked by horrible news concern. 3g some good man. He never denies a lie unless it 3 in your favor. He is always finding fault with is party and is continually beg ;ing pardon for not belonging to he other side. He is frightfully anxious that Il candidates should stand well ?ith the opposition. He is forever seeing the faults f his party and the virtues of the ther. He generally shows his candor y scratching his ticket. He always searches every nook nd corner of his conscience to find reason for deqertii,g a friend or a rinciple. In the moment of victory he is iagnanimously on the other side. n defeat he consoles you by re eating prophecies made after the vent. The fool friend regards your re utation as commou property, and ommon prey for all the vultures, s byenas and jackals. Ho takes a sad pleasure in your isfortunes. He forgets his principles to grat :y your enemies. He forgives your mahigner and landerer with all his heart. He is so friendly that you can ot kick him.

About eight o'clock yesterday forenoon a man whose form was full of wrinkles and kinks and twists crawled out of a coal-shed on the whart and began yawning and rubbing hiN eyes like one who had put in a heavy night. - A po licenan lou:gcd that way, gave the inan a looking over and ask ed: 'Sleep in there last night ?' 'Yaas, kinder,' was the reply. 'Looking for work ?' 'N-n-o, not exactly.' 'You'll be run in if you hang around in this way,' remarked the officer. The man put his hands on top of a snubbing post, laid his chin on his hands, and after a iong look at Canada he turned and said: 'I dunno exactly what I'm go ing to do. I did live out here about eight miles, but I've sepa rated from the old woman. Yes, separated last night.' 'What's the trouble ?' 'Waal, she was my second and I was her second, and we never got along any too sweet. We both of us think we know it all, and neither feels like giving in. We came in to see the circus.' 'Ah! you did ?' 'And that's where the separa tion took place-right in front of the sacred hyenas from Japan. You know they advertised an electric light there ?' 'Yes.' 'Well,we'd never seen one. When we got into the menagerie there stood the elephant. Then came the camels. Then we came to an old bear. Further on were the lions and tigers and monkeys, but no electric light. We walked three times around that old tent without coming to his cage, and I got mad. Says I to one of the chaps over the rope: 'Whar' is the cage with the eTectric light in ? We want to see him or have our money back !' The feller he grinned all over, and lots of folks laffed, right out, and my wife she flew up and said I'd made a fool of myself. 'How ?' says I. 'Why, the electric light;is not an animal at all,' says she, 'but it has something to do with the clown.' We had a big jaw right there. She caved my hat in, and I broke her para sol, and then I separated.' 'And you won't make up ?' 'Make up! Never ! She can take the electric light and bake and eat him but I'm a man who never crawls!' 'And you didn't see the electric~ light after all ?' 'No! I don't believe they had any ! May be they thought thbey could work that 'ere rhinoceros off on the public by another name, but I tumbled in a minit.

Life is divided into three terms, that which is, which was, which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live for the fu ture. The great secret of avoiding disappointment, is not to expect too much. Despair follows im mode rate hope, as things fall hard est te the ground that have been nearest to the sky. As they who, for every slight siekness take physic to repair their health, do rather impair it, so they who for every trifle are eager to vindicate their character, do rather wveaken it. The selfish man's beart lik.e a man's coffin, is jus,t his own meas ure-long enough and broad enough to hold himself, with room
