But for the trivial leaf picked by a young girl in thoughtless mood, -1 should . siot be sittinerejto-dayin this pleasant din ing ,'roora, . where , the sun comes-in through the vine-wreathed windows and falls upon the geranium pots inside, j and thii little girl would not be upon my knee, nor yonder red checkel mai den on the verandah with young Smith era, and neither would that very hand some matron who just passed into the parlor have been in her present situa tion. If you will listen an nour or so, I will tell you my story. It was just twelve years ago this summer that , I married Carrie Dean. She was twenty aud'l wa3 twenty " scveriboth old enough to know what we meant and what we were about at least I was, but Carrie was such a coquette that I used to think she had no mind of her own, Oh, but she was lovely ! All ?ose-col-ored an white, and brown tresses,', and pearly teeth, with theroundestr plum pest figure, v.s graceful as a fairy in every movement,' and with beautiful shapely hands that were a constant de liht to the eyes. ...I was just homo from college and she was ou a ; visit to my step-mother, her at: n't, and my half sif ter Lilla, and her cousin. I have seen a good many girls in my neven years at college, and some of the belles of the land; but I had never yet had my heart stirred by any woman's eyes as Carrie Dean stirred it when my eyes met hers in greeting ; and the touch of her soft fingers , completely set me afloat on the sea of love. I was her slave from that hour nor her slave either but her passionate lover and wor shipper.. And of courst she knew it, and of course, being a finished ooquette, she queened it over me right royally. There was Fred Town, the country physician, and Tom Delano, the hand some young farmer, both as bad off as I was, and a pretty time we had of it. Fred and I old chums in former days were at Words' points now,and hated each other splendidly for a few weeks. i And Tom I held in the utmost contempt, and railed at them both whenever an opportunity presented itself, for Carrie'fr edification, after j the manner of men, and was repaid by seeing her bestow " uwrt vim. uni: ivr.man. horn and Biria .. i ..nn wanted everywhere to work for uV ow Is , her sweetest , smues anu g.u tn time.

' She had listened to my love confession with blushing cheeksanddowncasteyes, a ride, which was very aggravating, I must confess. I thought ovcr-my conduct that night and concluded that I had been a brute. The next morning I found Carrie a the at the dining room window alone and saught her side. She had her hand among the leaves of a sweet scented ge ranium, and just as I approached she plucked a leaf and twined it among her braids. I remember how bright and green it looked among the dark locks. "Carrie," I began, "1 fear I was very rude yesterday." "I know you were," she said looking indifftrentiy out of the window; This was a bad beginning but I went on: "But Carrie, I love you so, and when I see you with Fred" But here Miss Carrie turned on her heel. "I am ndt going to listen to you while you slander my friends," she said. "When you can speak respectfully of Mr. Town, I will return," and here she left me again. I left the house then, and did not re turn Jail afternoon. As I returned I met Tom Delano. Poor fellowhelookecnike the last rose of summer after a rain. "Good-bye," said he, "I am going away. She has sent me off, and I can't stay in the place. I hope you are the happy one I do honestly Al. She said her heart was given to another, and it is you or Fred. I hope it is you, and God bless you." Here Tom dashed away and left me staring after him in amazement. "Given her heart to another !" I re peated with a vain in my chest some where. "Well it is evident that I am not the other, and that Fred is. Poor Tom poor me 1 Tho best thing that I can do is to follow suit and leave too. I can never see her the wife of another, and the sooner I am off the better." So I went moodily up to my room and packed a satcheland gotjilJhings in readiness for a speedy" departure. On my way up I met Carrie just com ing from her room, arrayed in her jaun ty riding habit, and I could hear Fred's deep tones shouting "Whoa !" down in the yard below. I wached her trip down, the stairs and out of sight, thinking that it. was the last time I would ever see her for yeais, perhaps forever. - Whe I had. strapped ' the last buck'elon my satchel ani all was in readincss,I went downtosay good-bye t father, mother, and Lilla. Lilla was not indoors, and my parents looked at mc with amazement. "But, Allen, my son," pleaded father. n-r i 1 1 1 Li, ..Ail rstialsl untor 1 M tn i naa mougut ) . mcn ig deRtined to be remoddled by business with me. There is a grand f . have held orjenine for you, and I position in reserve." "I thank you for all that, but I want to travel for a year or two before"going into bushlessfc" was all I could answer and my father gave up in despair. Lilla was still absent ; but it wasquite dark, and the train would leave in half an hour, so I left a good-bye for her and passed out into the hall. It was a long, narrow hall, reaching the whole length of the house,' and with several rooms opening into it; but as yet it was unlighted and as dark as J Egypt. About halfway through it I heard the street door open and shut, and a mo ment later ran full against ome,one entering. fall of tears. "You are too bad," she sobbed, "and I hate you." But just then she noticed my travel ing attire, and paused abruptly. "Why, where are . you going?" she asked with interest. "I was going away, never to return," I answered, "but since you have said what you did in the hall I have changed my mind." ! Carrie pouted. "I was only speaking for Lilla." . . "Then I shall go, shall I, and leave you to marry Fred ?" "I detest Fred," she cried. "And you love me better than all the world?" ; "Yes." So that flirt was conquered at last, and I was the victor. . "But how did you know it ' was not Lilla ?" she asked as we sat together. "By the geranium leaf that I saw you put in your hair this mbrring," "And but for, that you'd have gone away and not come bak for years ?" "Yes' perhaps never come back, but for that tell-tale leaf." "TheirweTvill keep that leaf always," she said taking it from her hair. And so we have. I procured a golden box, and there it is to-day, one of our dearest treasures. Of course I married Carri, and of course that blooming matron is she. Tom Delano did not die with a brok en heart, but married a lovely girl out West a few months after his departure and Fred Town is our famiiy physician and has a pretty wife of his own. A chicken at Aiance, Ohio, went to roost upon the axle of a freight car. During the night the car was attached t j a train, and when the feathered bi ped descended from his unsteady perch ha failed to recognize the scenes of his childhood. He was in Lima, Indiana, and the man in whose garden the fowl went scratching got into a fight with the whole neighborhood by accusing every body of owning the bird. t E9 Wt U,- 'J . - K)lB q .l..vM.I --''h:- -vW'r.Q ; 5'- " " g i . ,g....cft as ' rg:'-- ' -i " I -fc!; 'ffiiEr. . rjatfer"-?-- " pr- r. ?.'!
