Roberts, Winchester, 111, saya: “1 have used it with entire satisfaction in cases of debility from age or overwork, and in inebriates and dyspeptics, and am well pleased with its effects.” A Leap Year Symphony. (Lakeside Tdar.) ““My heart is broken!” The words camo with a strange, passion- ate forco from the lips of Mignon Mc Nulty as she stood boneath the larchss that beautiful June evening and looked tenderly up at George W. Simpson, and in the fathomless depths of her great 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 he even look at her. His face was turned away, and, although he could feel the little hand that rested so lightly on his shoulder tremble like an aspen, there was no sign in his face by which one could result his thoughts. It was a hand- some face—-the lines perfect in their contour, and the fair, white skin was man- tled here and there by just the suggestion of a deeper color—and yet, if one looked closely, there was something unpleasant about it all, and the clear gray eyes held ever a lurking expression of firmness that might easily have become cruelty. Tt was a face that came nearest telling its own story when in perfect repose. When George W. Simpson became engaged in conversation. women called him divine. The riant mouth, wreathed' in the sun- niest of smiles, lost all the rigidity of lines that characterized it at other times, and the gray eyes looking into yours so |~ frankly seemed but open portals to a soul within whose precincts the gaunt, horri- ble figures of dispairand doubt had never stalked with ¢choing tread. At last he turned to Mignon. I must go now,” he said, passing his wo- ‘manly-white hand tenderly 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 te the gate, Mignon standing there like one in a trance. In the west the sun was sink- ing to rest, aud over the girl's head a lark uttered its musical cry asit flew swiftly by. Not far away was a horse- car. The 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, aund on her face ghe look of one to whom death would be a blessing. The sun sank entirely, leaving only a trail of flame across the heavens; the wind rose and blew back from her forehead the masses of blue-black hair that clustered there. She started then, as 1f awakened from a dream, and walked swittly into the house. Her mother, hearing the well-known footsteps, met her at the door. One glance told her all. “‘You have failed.” Yes,” answered Mignon, ‘‘he says he will marry no one,.and that leap-year is nothing but a foolish tradition. Heis a heartless coquet. But let him beware. There is one whom ht may yet meet whose witchery he cannot escape, even if he would. Prey Heaven she may come this way.” and the girl sank weeping upon fauteuil. 01 whom do you speak?” asked her mother. *“Who is this peerless bea- ty!" yl.uukim, stoadily at her mother Mignon hissed through her new teeth the fatal words: “‘Susan B. Anthony.” ——— Don't be Faint Hearted 1f you are in trouble look up, hold on,give the bluei good by.
