Taking Advantage of Leap Year.

By ANNE HEILMAN.

Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated Literary Press.

Dora Wright had practically mastered the difficult art of being poor when fate presented her whimsically with abundance. While she was still wondering what she was going to do with It all some relatives swooped down upon her and whisked her off to Newport for the season. ▲bout two months later Miss Wright returned from an elaborate function very late one night, or-, rather, very early one morning. Bidding her aunt and cousins good night, she wearily ascended the stairs to her room, her shimmering ball dress billowing gracefully around her slender figure. One hour later she walked briskly down the same stairs attired in a natty linen traveling suit and carrying a small satchel. “I am going away for a visit,” she informed the astonished butler as he unlocked the front door at her command. “You’ll find a small trunk, locked and strapped, in my room. Please send It to this address,” banding the man a card and a bill of gener-

“I SHALL NEVER GO BACK.” SHE SAID RESOLUTELY.

ous denomination. “No, thanks, 1 can carry this grip myself.” Then she made her way to the depot The labors of the day were ended. Mrs. Watson and several of her boarders were out on the front porch in restful enjoyment of the “cool o’ the evenin’.” “Yes, Miss Wright's cuttin’ a wide swath, accordin' to the papers,” the landlady was declaiming to the little milliner, a new boarder. “Today’s Clarion said as how a furrin nobleman appeared to be gettln’ the inside track. That’s why he’s lookin’ more moped than usual tonight” pointing through the open window at a solitary man in the shabby sitting room, his head leaning wearily on his hand, an unopened paper on his knee. “He ain’t been the same man since she left” continued Mrs. Watson in a lowered voice. “In love with her? Land sakes, I should say he was! Every one coute>»see it except Miss Wright. Why didn't he up and tell her? Why, child, they were both too poor! Miss Wright didn’t make no more’n her own keep, an’ Mr. Langdon has a mother an’ sister to support back in Ohio. An’ when Miss Wright’s uncle died an’ left her all that prop’uty of course that put her out*n his reach for good. He’s too proud a man to live on his wife’s money. It’s a dreadful pity, though, for if ever two people were cut out for each other”— Just then she turned her head and saw Dora Wright walking up the path. “For the land sakes alive!” ejaculated Mrs. Watson. “This ain’t never you! How glad 1 am to see you, an’ how well you’re lookin’!" Considerable time was consumed in congratulations and explanations. Then Mrs. Watson hurried upstairs to see about a room for her unexpected guest, and Dora went into the parlor and seated herself beside Mr. Langdon. “Have you missed me, Robert?’ she asked. “Missed you?* echoed Langdon. He thought how intensely he had missed he# How, during the two months of her absence, he had 'longed for the sound of her voice, the merry laugh in her eyes! “It’s like a dream to have you sitting beside me, Dora. I don’t understand it For the first time in years you had got comfortably away from the everlasting grind and were free to spend yotfr time as you liked, yet here yon are back again in* the hot dusty city in the middle of August. Now. Dora, what’s the reason?* “Well, one of the reasons Is that this talk about money making you free is all nonsense. Money made me a slavey for two months. Instead of doing what I wanted I had to do what anybody else wanted. “I had to be outdoors, when 1 was cold and indoors when I was hot I had to sit through two hour dinners every night and eat things I detested. I had to dance when I was tired and listen to poor music and go into ecst» sies over execrable singing when 1

Was sleepy, and my head ached. 1 had to ride In automobiles arid go yachting. ▲ yacht always makes me sick, and 1 you know what I think of automobiles.” Mr. Langdon did not seem properly impressed, so Dora continued in an aggrieved voice: “1 spent hours racing around with golf sticks when I’d much rather sit down quietly with an agreeable book. It’s very well to do what you dislike if you’re accomplishing anything, but all this activity was accomplishing nothing except spoiling my temper and making me thin. But you haven’t said yet that you were glad to see me, Robert.” Langdon's look of adoration seemed to be nothing more than she expected. , “Yes, Dora, I am glad,” he said simply. “I thought you had forgotten me., I didn't blame you,” he continued hastily as she made a dissenting gesture. “I was glad to think that at last you were enjoying what your beauty and your nature entitled you to and that your brave conduct in adversity was being properly rewarded. But why did you come back here, Dora? Why did you come back to this dreary manufacturing town when you had the whole world to choose from?” Dora looked intently at him while be was speaking. She noted the streaks of gray in his well kept hair, the sad droop of the patient mouth, the many lines around his tired eyes. “For more reasons than ore. 1 knew you needed looking after, Robert I knew you were lonely and working hard in order to forget I knew you were tired aqd that your eyes were used up. I knew you felt the heat more than ever and wouldn’t take any refreshing trolley rides out into the breezy country or go pn any cozy little picnics without your old friend. Now I’m going to inveigle you out every afternoon, and we’ll read our favorite autbors in the evenings, just as we used to before 1 became an heiress.” Langdon drew a deep breath and looked longingly at the girl, who appeared to be unconscious of having said anything unusual. “I was tired,” be said. His eyes and voice were perilously near tears, the porch was deserted, and he laid his hand gently on hers. “But In the future the knowledge that you thought of me and came back to cheer me up will keep me from fatigue and every other ill. But you must return to £our relatives. If you don’t like Newport, there are other places. Travel, Dora, and get the good of the money that came to you late, but. thank God, not too late!” Dora regarded him with an amused tenderness. “You don’t know me half as well as I know you, Robert. I have no intention of going back to the relatives who ignored my very existence until Uncle Timothy left me a fortune. And I don't want to spend my money in travel at present I came to the place I like, and here I’m going to stay.” Langdon leaned suddenly toward Dora. His pale face flushed, and his hands trembled, but he pulled himself up again resolutely. “I’m right though, Dora. In spite of your heavenly kindness it can’t be the same as it was when we were both poor. My dear girl, don’t you see that it is different?” Dora smiled tenderly at him. “Certainly I see that it’s different because now I have the means to provide luxuriously for the old mother and delicate sister and to keep up a bouse for us both.” . Langdon was shaking visibly. “Dora, it will not do. Your husband must be a more brilliant man than this old friend, though he can never be a more faithful. He must be of your own age and your own financial standing. You make it hard, dear one, but you must go back tomorrow.” “I shall never go back,” she said resolutely. “And I shall never have a busband, Robert unless it Is this unselfish old friend.” Langdon raised his hand to bls tired eyes to bide a rush of happy tears. “Do you mean’’— he stammered. “Yes,” answered Dora gayly; “1 mean this as a proposal. It’s leap year, you know.”

Logical.

The man wearing a “deaf and dumb” placard stood before the judge. “Your honor," he said, “I do not wish to. take undue technical advantage. I do not claim to be without hearing or speech. The words ‘deaf and dumb,’ without qualification, are words and nothing more. Supposing I had worn a number on a tag? Would that have made me guilty of asserting myself a dog or an automobile? “Moreover, your honor, a man may be deaf and dumb constructively. That’s my status during business hours.” “Your reasoning is excellent,” responded the court, “and, though I send you to jail for thirty days, you are not to be deprived of the right to consider yourself constructively free.” Philadelphia ledger.

He Bought the Bell.

“Got any cow bells?” inquired a country looking man of a clerk in a hanfivare store. “Yes. sir. Step this way,” replied the young man. The farmer picked up the largest he could find and said. “Have you no larger than this 7’ “No. sir. The largest ones are all sold.” The farmer, on hearing this, turned to leave and had reached the door when the clerk called after him. “Look here, stranger! Take one of these small balls for your cow, and you won’t have half as much bother finding her, for when you bear the bell' you will always know that she can’t be far off.” He bought the bell.—Judge.
