Cbe Leap Year Lady. By VIRGINIA BLAIR. Copyrighted. 1908, by Associated Literary Press.
I have ofteu wondered why you didn't marry,” said Bobble Hayes dlf fidently. The professor leaned on the porch rail and looked over his rose garden, where the fireflies starred the night with gold. “Because 1 love a little lady who doesn t love me.” he said dreamily, "aud I’ll have no other.” “Oh!" Bobble gasped as one who has come unexpectedly upon a romance. There was a moment's silence, out of which Bobble questioned curiously, “How do you know she doesn't love you?” The professor laughed. “She lets mo see that 1 am her good friend, her comrade, but nothing more.” “Look here, professor, I don’t believe you’ve asked her, not outright, you know,” Bobbie accused. “No, I haven’t,” the professor admitted. “I thought so,” Bobble stated. “I know how modest you are. You’d never believe any one cared if they didn’t tell you. Now, I had to—why, professor, I just had to hang around you after class and come over here aud bore you and beg you to go places with me before you'd believe that I thought you were about the best thing I'd found in college.” The boy's voice was husky with deep feeling, and the professor held out his hand to him. “Dear lad!" he said. “And since I’ve been coming 1 have found out how lonely you are and— well, I think you ought to marry, professor.” “Alas," said the older man, “if It were as easy as It sounds!” “It Is easy,” said Bobbie cocksuredly. “I’ve—I’ve had some experience with girls, professor.” The professor chuckled. “More than I have had in all my forty years, Bobbie.” "And I've learned,” Bobble asserted solemnly, “that when a man wants to marry a girl he's got to let her know that he cares awfully." “But she knows that I care," the professor said. “Have you told her?" Bobble demanded. “Not in words," was the response, "but. Bobble, boy, I’ve sent her a bunch of pink roses every day that they bloom In my garden, and I have never looked at another woman.” Bobble sat up straight. "Oh, look here," he said unexpectedly “You won’t mind if I guess who it Is?” “I don’t believe,” the professor hesi tated, “that we ought to bring her name Into It." "Yes, we ought,” Bobbie insisted, “when it means your happiness and hers. Isn’t it Miss Merriman?" “How did you guess?” the professor demanded. “Nobody else grows such old fashioned hundred leaved roses as you. and when I went up to Miss Merriman’s room the other night to borrow a book there was a bunch of them on her table.” “She Is very fond of roses,” the professor murmured. “Of your roses.” Bobble amended. “I have uo reason to believe that she cares more for my roses than for any other," said the professor. “Well, I’ll bet she does." Bobble argued. "I'll bet she's got a lot of them pressed In the Bible or her favorite book of poetry.” The professor rose. “1 hardly think I like to bring her name Into this dis cusslon," he said again quietly, and after that he and Bobble walked in the garden arm In arm, and they talked of hooks and of men, but not of Miss Merriman. The next afternoon Bobble called on the little teacher. “I want to know If you'll chaperon some of the summer schoolgirls to n picnic at High Rock," was his excuse. But Inter In the evening he mentioned the professor. “I don’t think he’s looking well." he said. “I have noticed It.” said Miss Merriman anxiously “1 believe he is work Ing too hard." “It isn't that,” said Bobble. "He’s In love. Miss Merriman, and the girl he cares for Is treating him very cruelly” Miss Merriman turned pale. “Oh.” she said faintly, “does—does he care for some one?" "Yes.” Bobbie stated, “and he ought to be married He Is lonely, very lonely I am sure If the woman he loves could know she would say ’yes.’ ” "1 am sure she would.” Miss Merri man agreed. “1 have wondered," Bobbie began and stopped, “if you could find out who she Is—women have such Intui tlons about things, and you and the professor are such old friends." “But” palpitated Miss Merriman. “I’m not a bit of n detective. Bobble. I shouldn’t know how to look for her.” "Well, I'll give you n tip." said Bobble. "You find the lady he sends h.s pink roses to: she’s the one." He was looking at her with round. Innocent eyes, and he saw the color come hack Into her cheeks. Me saw the uplift of her graceful head, with Its crown of shining hair He saw the radiance of her eyes. •Are you sure?" she questioned. “Dead sure,” said artful Bobble
‘‘Look here.” he went on. “if you find out who It Is, put her on to tha fact that It’s leap year." “Leap year?” gasped Miss Merriman. “Yes," Bobble stated “And It's her chance. The professor Is such a dear old piece of humility that he doesn’t think she can love him, and he’s afraid to ask her. Iiecause he feels that It might make her unhappy to refuse him. And he's certain that she wouldn’t accept.” “Oh, wouldn’t she?” breathed Miss Merriman “And—aud you tell her,” Bobble continued, “that he’s the best ever.” “Of course he Is,” said Miss Meitlman. “Haven't 1 known him all my life?” “Well, I’ve only known him since I came to the summer school,” said Bobble, “but I’ll always be more of a man for having met him.” They shook hands with enthusiasm, and on the steps Bobble paused to say, “He’s going to High Bock with us." But Bobbie did not know all the working of the feminine mind, for Miss Merriman, instead of bringing things to a crisis at the picnic, kept away from the professor all day, giving him only a vague smile now and then. Instead of her usual frank companionship, and as a consequence the professor went home In a state of desperate forlornness, and even tiie wise Bobble was alarmed and wished he had not Interfered. The next evening, however, just at the edge of twilight, as the professor wended his solitary way through the paths of his rose garden, the gate opened and a slender figure In w hite came through. “I have come to see your roses," said the leap year lady, otherwise called Miss Merriman. “Are you real,” the professor demanded, “or just a tricky spirit, who will vanish in a breath?” “I am not a spirit,” said the leap year lady, "but I've come to ask you a question.” The professor's face fell. "I knew it wasn't just the roses that brought you,” he said. “I suppose it's some tangle In your Greek?" "No,” said Miss Merriman, "It Isn’t a tangle In Greek. It's a worse tangle. Aud It has something to do with roses.” “Botany?" asked the unconscious professor. "Oh, no!" Miss Merrlman's voice expressed a certain scorn of his denseness. “Well, you said it had something to do with roses." the professor told her helplessly. “Do the roses you send me have anything to do with botany?” Miss Merriman demanded. “No: of course not," the professor stammered: "of course not. They have to do with”— “What?” Miss Merrlman's tone was eager. Her upturned face pleaded. Her eyes were like stars. A faint glow from the little moon turned her hair to gold, and ns the professor looked down at her a great light shone in upon his soul. "Why—they have to do with—love,” he said. “Of course." was the tremulous response. "Oh, why didn’t you say It tiefore ?” “1 was afraid," he whispered and took her bands In his. “You see I had to come—to your rose garden”— she explained In the shelter of his arms. “To stay always?" he begged, and ns she murmured “always" wise Bobble, coming up the path, saw the tableau hi the moonlight and. chuckling as he went, beat a hasty retreat.
The Great Unknown. It wms many years before the “Great Unknown" was identified At the publication of the “Lay of the Lust Minstrel," “Mannlon.” “Lady of the Lake" and finally of a novel called “Waverley,” popular curiosity was excited, and the whole of England rang with the fame of the “Great Unknown.” as Scott was called. The secret was well kept. Sir Walter Scott, who all his life had been storing material and training his mind to such concentration that he could work In the midst of Interruptions and was able to turn out volume after volume with a rapidity, two a year, that made his readers doubt their very senses. Ills Incognito was all the more perfectly preserved In that he kept open house at Abbotsford, devoting much of his time to entertaining his guests and visiting It was not until the embarrassment of his publishers occurred that the Identity of the author of the “Waverley Novels" was discovered. The case of Scott furnishes one of the many Illustrations of the power of deceiving the public In literary matters.
A Bit of Deceit. Bismarck vowed that after passing a competitive examinutiou a man was never any good that the strain wrecked him Still It was cramming, the cramming of the Ingenious mind of Lord Chesterfield which brought about the reform of the calendar. Cramming and flattery did It. "I have been of late n sort of an astronomer despite myself," he wrote. “I was obliged to talk some astronomical jargon, of ■which 1 did not understand one word, but got It by heart and spoke It by rote as a muster.” He had to make the peers believe that he knew something of the matter "and also to make them believe that they knew something of It themselves, which they did not" For his own part, he said he could as well have talked Celtic or Slavonian us astronomy and they would have understood him fully as well They became parties to the deceit. They would not betray Ignorance upon a subject as to which he credited them with abounding knowledge Thus they reformed
the calendar.

•^r-r-N-r-r-t: h -k-h-h-h-;-?-V Y Mr.Sm : ithers,DaclLlor. 1 itmm11ii iit (Copyright, 1908. by T C. McClure I One June no rr'ng Mr. Sin it hers, bachelor, sat lo.j..i:ig out of the window as be smoked his after breakfast eigar. la an open window across the street a girl's face suddenly appeared. She had a birdcage in her hand, and she looked nil arouud for a nail to bang it ou. While she was looking for the nail Smitherg was looking at her He saw a vision of loveliness, aged about twenty, ami while the bird was bopping about on its perch Siulthers' heart was bopping ulHiut in his bosom. Even before the girl had disupiieured In search of a hammer and nail he realized that he was close to that state termed "goneness.” The girl began operations with the hammer with a great show of confidence. In her innocence she supposed that a nail could be driven Into a brick as easily as into a hunk of putty, and she paid for her innocence by pounding her finger. When she uttered a cute howl of pain and dropped the hammer to the sidewalk within an Inch of a pedestrian’s head and then stuffed the bruised digit into her mouth to suck away the pain the bachelor fairly groaned in sympathy. After a moment she disappeared, hut his heart went with her. The idea came to him to run across the street, introduce himself and pour out his sympathies, but after combing his mustache and putting on his hat lie decided not to. However, ho set himself to watch for her reappearance, and, though it was three long hours before he caught sight of Imr again with a white rag around her finger, he did not feel that he had wasted his time. She looked across at him. and be thought he saw a longing for sympathy in her face. He therefore waved his baud. It was In no sense an net of fliriation on his part. His sympathies went with the wave. It was the same as if he said. “Poor little orphan girl, but 1 pity you.” The girl drew back, and Smith ers blew her a kiss. Not the slightest Idea of flirting entered his mind He was simply conveying by signs what he couldn’t put into words and yell across the street—"Never mind, little girl, you’ll be happy yet.” That afternoon the girl aud the finger and the rag walked out together So did Smlthers and his sympathetic heart. After being charmed with a view of the young lady's back they passed her and were still more charmed with a view of her face. That face was etheral, tender, affectionate. It had the longing look that comes to tne face of a girl left all alone in the world and two weeks behind oh her rent to a hard hearted landlady Smith ers might have found excuse to raise his hat and say something about the weather, hut a peanut man pushed his cart against Ids knees and sent him sprawling, and all romance was driven out of his soul for the next three or four minutes. That same evening as Smlthers sat by his window smoking the same brand and wondering how much he would have to pay a waiter in a res taurant to write an ode entitled “The Sore Fingered Angel" the girl appeared at her easement She sat down and looked up at the starry heavens and leaned her sore finger on the sill to rest It. She didn’t see Smlthers at first, but when he thought he detected tears In her eyes and a quivering of her chin he thrust himself forward to let her know tliat there was at least one human being In this world who felt for her. The same rag and the same finger and the same girl walked out next day Smlthers was on the watch, and he walked out too. Nothing was further from his thoughts than “mashing” or flirting That was something he had never done In his life After fol lowing the girl four or five blocks and thinking up just what words of sytn pathy to address her with he over hauled her and raised his hat and was about to get off his little speech when a Mg. lusty fellow without the least romance In his soul took him by the scruff of the neck and addressed him for a moment in words of fervid eloquence, while the girl with the sore finger stood by with n pleasant and expectant look on her face Her expectations were realized —that is, Mr .Smlthers was shaken till his teeth hit his tongue. Then he was made to perform strange antics with his heels, while his legs would kink up and then strnighen out again In a wonderful way. Before the big man was through with him his collar and tie were torn off, his coat ripped beyond repair and his hair badly mussed up He could not afterward swear that he was also kicked and cuffed, but he felt reasonably sure of It. What hurt him more than the kicks and cuffs, if he got them, was the pleased and complacent look on the girl's face during the continuous performance and the words of the big man when he had finished toying: “There, you weazened faced, lop shouldered son of a gun. If you ever dare to look at my wife again I’ll break your neck like a pipestem!” But Smlthers looked again. The “girl” had come closer, and he saw that she was a woman of forty, with freckles on her face and two moles on her chin, and that there was uo look of longing in her face and no tears of homesickness In her eyes. “Doctor,” said he ns he entered the office of an occullst an hour later, “what’s the matter with my durned eyes?” “Why. man," was the reply after an examination, "you can't tell a white man from a darky ten feet away! It’s the worst case of near slghtedness 1 ever aaw.” M. QUAD.

A Surprised Deputy. A number of years ago the United States marshal of western Pennsylvania sent a warrant to one of his deputies, who was stationed in a back county, for the arrest of a counterfeit er. The deputy knew the man aud treated him considerately When they reached Pittsburg the necessary papers were not at hand to commit the prisoner to Jail. The deputy would not take him to a hotel, because he would have to pay the bill out of his own pocket So he took him to the marshal's office to pass the night there The deputy was sleepy and the counterfeiter said lie was. 8b the deputy handcuffed his prisoner to himself unci lay down on I the floor t)( > sidi' the steam register. As soon as the deputy was asleep the counterfeiter took his keys from his pocket, unlocked the manacle and fastened the loose end to the register. Then he took the deputy’s watch and wfiat money he had and departed “Where is your prisoner?" asked the | marshal the next morning, awakening the deputy. “Doesn’t that beat all?" tie replied 1 as he tugged at his handcuff and bruised his wrist. "Darned If I don’t believe he's gl' me the slip.”
