It there wis one thing In mil bar ex perience that Rasaana Morton waa heartily tired of It waa the evident and continuous purpoaa of mankind to penult her to remain a spinster. True, she had been one so lone It evould seem that aha should bare be come accnatomed to It, bat by some trance fatality women, that la. the majority of women, never accept thalr lot to this form with calm resignation and beautlfal Chrlatian spirit which baa wan for them the en ilea ring title f the Rentier sex. And Susanna Morton had put np with just as loug as she waa going to. Four leap year had passed her by and she li.nl submitted (traccfully, but each year less gracefully than she bad done the year previously, and there were moments in the last of tha four when she became almost desperate Now that a fifth kid come her mind was made up. She would take the reins ef Cupid In ber own hands and drive that harum-scarum little rascal In a manner to suit herself. She knew her good points, one of which was that she was 35 years old or thereabouts, and possessed a pose and balance no man who was looking for a real sensi ble wife could afford to disregard. In addition to this she bad what men sel dom disregard a comfortable fortune. ft was fortune that had been the reel j (tumbling block in the matrimonial path of Susanna, and not any lack of attractive qualities In her possession. for she was not homely nor was ahe however, which was her, from her six! ,! ... , , , . . . . ... ur,h ,.- ,.- a fear that men sought her for ber money and not for herself, and, never having fallen in love with any of her eonrtlers, she did not find it difficult to resist advances, believing, as she did, that men were mercenary wretches, as a rule, and that same day the one man In all the world for het would appear ajui claim her as his own. However, he did not appear, and he continued not to appear until Susanna bad reached an ase and firmness of character, to pnt It mildly, when her fortune would havo to be at least doub led to make her as attractive as she was at 2a This knowledge had come to her grad tmlly, but was none the less forceful on that account, and she was determin ed not to let this leap year pass without results of a lasting character. (if the men in her train there wero ierhaps half a dozen who were eligible, and any one of them would have made , a husband any woman could be proud j of. But thiy were merely friends Not ; a man jack of them had ever suggest- j ed such a thins as nmtrimonj to her, and, possibly, this was why she liked them. So perverse is the nature of wom an. Among this half dozen was one who found the greatest favor In Susana's eyes, the others taking their positions after him In regular graduation, and this one Susanna selected as her Tie tim for leap year, resolved to try all the others in case of failure In the first Instance Truly, Susanna was a desperate sptn (tec And no less spry, for In the course of Ms first call In the new year she be gan her operations. But it was a dread ful task, and the evening passed with out a single step taken forward. The effort had been made, however, and courage always comes with effort. When he came again she was so wrought up over the work before her that her eyes sparkled and ber cheeks glowed In rosy color. "Why, bless my soul. Miss Susan," be said, "how pretty you look this even tog." lie was ten years older that she and always assumed that bless-my-soul style aflVi-ted by elderly men. "Oh, thank you, Mr. Culver," she twittered. "I'm sure you only think so. I look just as I always look." "Of course. .Miss Susanna, only sllgbt fy more so," lie stnlled, but there was that In the tone which had the ring of Insincerity, or at least superficial and oclal sincerity, which Is very nearly the same thing, and which made Susan na despise the flattery of men that so far had meant to her no dissolution of ber spinsterhood. She was cood-nntured about it how ver, and let Mr. Culver go on with whatever he had to say, for If there was any man who could make flattery more palatable to her than any other man, that man was Mr. Culver. Hut it was soon over, and when he had fixed himself comfortably In an easy chair with which he was familiar, he seemed to have forgotten whether Su sanna looked like a fright or a fairy nd began talking about all sorts of things, as people who talk for the mere sake of talking. . At all events, that's the way It pre sented Itself to Susanna, and she felt the spirit of desperation slowly creep ing over her. She took a long breath for encouragement and tentatively turned the subject of conversation up on the most recent wedding which bad becttrred In their circle. "What a pair of fools they were and ire," said Mr. Culver, sententiously, "to "jiarry on nothing but his salary and Sst not big enough for two." "Put they are happy," argued So on nn :. "I suppose so," Mr. Culver unwilllng ly admitted, "it takes a fool to be hap !; wise people know too much." "Are you wise?" questioned Susanna, iprvously, for she felt that she was launching herself at this point upon an unknown sea. Tin old enough to be," Mr. Culver ruil.ly responded, for Mr. Culver's age was too well known to be denied and too great to be hid behind a bushel. "Isn't there something somewhere About the old fools being the biggest?" laughed Susanna. "Iut I am not so old as that yet." "A III" and her eyes twinkled, "la yours a case of " 'Standing with reluctant feet, Vt'liere the silly seasons meet T " ?.?r. Culver assumed a more serious rir. and there was no smile on his face vl.cti I," replied; there was rather a shadow of regret. "Yes. Miss usanna," he said, "I do Ftnnd reluctant, for I think if I bad been ir.ore of a fool in one regard I would have ! ecu less of a fool in an other. That is to say, a man is a fool to waste his life Kelflshly, as I have done." J'hls was the ansplclomi g)orospi 8U- hai been seeMs. woeM bow lead right np to the matter ar find a listener to ber proposal. "Why doa't yon marry, Mr. Culver T cbe asked with directness, "i'ou art not too wise to consider the question, ' hope- "Ortainly not, in .is Susanna, smiled. "I've been considering It fu twenty years." "Then yon ought to stop considering: It and pop it." Susanna laughed and Mr. CulTer also. "I hardly think IH erer do that." be said, seriously. "I woaldn't know bow to go about it to make myself half pro sentabla. I've given myself up, yoe know, at a bad Job." "Some of these new women will be charging down ea yon of th.e days, taaoblng yon the newer decUiava ) that women bare the right te say whether you have the right tat do with yourself as yon please, la other word, some one of them will oatare yen la apite of yourself." "Not much they won't," assarted Mr, Culver, with a great shew ef assuage, "If there is anything I doat waat to marry it's a woman with foal nerVwis of that kind." Susanna's heart want down t kaar shoes on the instant. Hera waa aa In surmountable obstacle ta aar pata, and with Mr. Culver bolaUnf to tnca aa opinion what good weald1 a aripsaal be from he r even If she a humid aaastei up courage enough to make It. Tat thought made her mute for a intent, and in that m In ate a new thought cams, one that bad been there before, but had gone wool gathering while she wai beating around the bnsh with the new woman idea. "I think myself they an horrid." she said, with an effort to swallow some thing that would not go down very easily. "But there la the leap year privilege. All women, new and old, can claim that, and .you BraaBt forget that this la leap year.' 1 had forgotten It," he said, moving his chair over Into the far corner of the , ,, .., , , ... he was out of the pleasant Influence of Susanna's nearness.

The custom or tradition or whatever yon may call It la an old- fashioned one and only an old-fsahlen-j ed woman would think of It, and that la the kind I want. So none of them badj better try It unless she means bnslr ness." Surely no finer opening could be pre-) , sented to a young woman In her mood ,lmu "ua w" a little shako and took another loss ' breath. The time bad come, aad aha ! was not the woman to lose so gloriou j an opportunity. "Mr. Culver." she began, la a firm voice and with great earnestness. Lavs a long time been thinking tha you ought to marry, and I bare eve pone so far as to select Jtsst such woman as I think would surt you. hal two or three consultations w lier and she Is willing that I should pi ent the matter to you. because I know you so well and you will understand il better from me than if ahe should pre. sent it herself." This impersonal style was eminently pleasing to Susanna, and ahe felt thai her task was not going to be so hard after all, bat she had not considered Mr. Carver's views sufficient. Whs she was sboat to proceed far ther with ber remarks, Mr. Culver, showed signs of real anxiety and arose to bis feet. "Miss Sasanna," he exclaimed, "don'l say another word. Beally, I cannot llsi tea to It." "But I must say It to yon," she Insist ed, because, as it seemed to her, that was the proper way to conduct a suc cessful courtship, and now that she bad begun it she most decidedly wished II to be successful. "I tell you I won't hear It. Thla It entirely unexpected and I am sure noth ing in my conduct has ever warranted you In broaching this subject to me." Mr. Culver was evidently In earnest and Susanna almost chuckled to her self, for this was the very way young women acted under the circumstances In which Mr. Culver was placed. All It needed now was a little more coax ing, and Susanna nerved herself for the final pop. "Perhaps you have not thought so," she said In her softest voice, "but to me there has ever been a desire to say o you what I am now say-Ins. Mr Culver John," and Susanna cams very close to him, notwithstanding she was so nervous she hardly knew what Xt do. "Hold on, Susanna, bold on." he ex claimed. "Confound it that stocked her, for she knew no girl had ever talk ed that way under such clrcomstances, however much she might have thought it) I don't want you to be talking la any other woman's Interest There is only one woman In the world that I want, and and and (Mr. Culver was getting nervous himself now, and Su sanna gasped) and oh, Susanna," be said, desperately, "don't yon know that woman la you? Tou, Susanna? Don' you know It is you?" Mr. Culver caught Susanna's two bands In bis and looked Into her tws eyes with such a pleading, pathetic, In tenso sincerity that all ber plans were consumed as a straw In a fierce blaze, and she simply tumbled Into his arms and let him finish tbe proposal she thought she had begun In such a mis terly manner. And Mr. Culver flnlshed It with giro terlng success, much to the relief of Miss Susanna Morton. s9lsataiv--Iew York Sun. w v A Useful Man. "Brown is weak financially, lant he?"

"Why, of course I hadn't," replied Tom, laughing: ; "there are no fairy god mothers nowadays." "Arent there, though T" said Bind- A with m niilrini wfnV TVtn't yon bo too sure of that.

"Well, It's a long story, aad I won't try to tell It aU; suffice It to say thai during one of mj later voyages I rendered a certain service to a power ful and Influential fairy, and In return she granted me one wish." "Tou didn't wish for those tronsen did you?" "No; but I wished that whenever I put my band In my pocket I should find money. That'll be all right.' said the fairy; "put your hand in your pocket now.' I did so, snd drew out a gold coin. 'I'm sure I'm ever so much otn llged,' I said. 'I suppose this sort ot thing will continue Indefinitely? It will last ss long as the trousers do,' re ' plied the fairy, with a peculiar laugh that I didn't like; and she vanlahed. ' Well, I resolved st once, of course, that I'd take mighty good cars of those trousers. And I have done so, but youj see what they look like now. I'm ashamed to be seen in them, bnt what can I do?" j "Can't you find money In the pockets of any of your other trousers?" in quired Tom. "Not unless I put It there."

"Because that fairy played a mean trick on me. nue always seemea inir , I and square, and I shouldn't have ' thought it of her, but she did it. I Invariably find the money in the pocket when I want It, but the trouble Is " and Sindbad lowered bis voice to a whisper and glanced apprehensively over bis shoulder "It doesn't last." "Doesn't last? What do you mean, sir?" "I mean that It dematerlallzes melts Into thin air, a few minutes after it leaves niy pocket. You've no Idea how much embarrassment that has caused me. Only a short time after my interview with the fairy I tried the plan you Just suggested. I filled one of my cont pockets with gold coins, and in five minutes they had disappeared, leaving nothing behind them but their memory. Why, I've paid tbe landlord of this bouse twice, and the money bas disappeared both times. The only way I ever manage to bave any cash about me Is to change one of the gold pieces; the change doesn't disappear until I spend it. That's why I got Mr. Petti bone to give me those bills for a ten dollar gold piece." "That looks a little like obtaining money under false pretenses," said Tom, bluntly. SIndbad's face flushed. "No, It doesn't, either," be said. "I didn't pretend anything; I Just gave bim the eagle, and It was all right when it left my bands. It's sll tbe fairy's fault, anyhow; if anybody Is guilty of false pretenses, she Is." "Rut Mr. Pettlbone Is the loser. Just the same," suggested Tom.

The little acts which go to the mak ing of a great example of heroism or sacrifice are ever interesting. In 1889, when all day long the war ships, con fined within the narrow limits of ths little harbor of Apia, Samoa, bad been at the mercy of the hurricane and the coral reefs, there came an hour on the Trenton never to be forgotten. A writer In the Cosmopolitan Magazine thus describes the scene and the inci dent which makes it memorable: Every one had divested himself -of superfluous clothing, and with such ap purtenances for safety as could he se cured, stood awaiting the last plunge. On the forecastle some men were hur riedly building a raft on soma empty barrels, on which they hoped to float ashore. Others had lashed themselves to spars and empty casks, and a few were provided with life-preservers, hastily secured from below. There was one life-preserver, how ever, for which ao one seemed to have any use. A faithful follower and friend of the executive officer passed tt to him on tha bridge, hoping it might be the means of his preservation. Bat instead of n'ig use of It, ha offered it to tho admiral, who refused It, and then to the captain, with a like result; It was then thrown carelessly over (he ran surrounding tha bridge, and there it hang, a glowing tribute to those bravo officers, aad a slim uraa to tho tolaj agjrHs of the fK5g -am-s ibuastoC CaMlaw tse wicae Beamtaaea.

Then, after a pause, he inquired. "Beg pardon, sir, but will he be able to keep both places?" Legal Tautology. Some idea of the tautology of the legal formula may be gathered from the following specimen, wherein, If. a man wishes to give another an orange, instead of saying, "I give you that orange," he must set forth his "act and deed" thus: "I give you all and singular, my estate and Interest, right, title, and claim, and advantage of and in that orange, with all its rind, akin, Juice, pulp, and pips, and an right and advantages therein, with full power to bite, cut, suck, or otherwise eat the same orange, or giro tho same away, with or without its rind, skin, Juice, pulp, and pips, anything heretofore or hereinafter, or In any other deed or deeds, Instrument or iastruments ot what kind ot nature soever, to tho con trary la any wise notwithstanding." fawml 1 V r cue wru"s .
