Great Death .11¢11 die. v- NtifialiilllCMlS. From Gody's Lady's Book LAST NIGHT IN LEAP YEAR 'Going out 7' The tone was one snlull 'of surprise hat it might be supposed, to hear it, hat going out was rather an astonish- ing event in the daily routine of Robert Seymour's life, or to leave his business during business hours. `Yes,' was the reply, While the old gentleman drew - orra well-worn-. over coat, and carefully brushed his' rather shabby bat, !I shall be out for an hour or two. It is a dull day, Fred, so you will probably have but little to do. Sitters are not apt to come in such gloomy weather.' - 'Are you going far 7' not spoken as if dictated by mere curiosity, but- in 'a voice full of affectionate interest. 'As far as W—Street. I may be detained, but think I can return in two hours;' and with a kindly no, the. old gentlem'a:n left the room. ." It was, as said,, gloomy Weather; a dull November day, not raining, but loudy, chilly, and disagreeable. Robert Seymour drew his overcoat closely around him, and .walked as fast as his rather feeble frame would permit toward his destination. He was an old man to all appearance, and yet be seemed more broken by anxiety and care than by the positive weight . of years. His hair' was white, his. figure, one tall and large, shrunken and stooping, and his large blue eyes, full of' benevolence and kindness, were' yet dull and wavering in expression: As he turned into W—Streot his step grew slower and more irresolute, till he came to a large handsomchouse where he stopped, looking behind him as if half inclined to turn back again. The house before which he thus paused bore the marks that in Philadelphia signify a recent bereavement. The shutters was bowed from the lowest to the highest story, and from each nar iow aperture there stwamed broad bands of black cramArtere-..was---na,. zigiroliiiing upon the bell-handle, so.the funeral was over, but the whole front of the house was dark and gloomy in appearance. Mr. Seymour's hesita -tion lasted but a few mothents, an - d, with a` deep breath that was almost a sigh, he ascended the high broad marble steps and rang. the-doorbell. A servant man c,pened the , door, but in answer to his inquiry, 'ls Miss ,Seymour at home ?' only stared va cantly at the speaker. With a little' touch of impatience, the question was repeated. 'There is no one -of that name lives here.' 'ls "not this Mrs. McConnell's 7' 'Yes, sir. She died you know, last week. Miss Helen 'Connell is die only young lady here.' 'Will you tell her I wish to speak with her.' hardly think she will flee you; sir.—She ain't seen a living soul since the old lady Was buried.' Mr. Seymour hesitated; then tahing . a neat little card from lie pocket-book, he requested the man to-carry that to Lie young mistress, and followed him to the handsome drawing room to await an answer. " ---- Thelootmati — lnoked -- curiOnsly at the card, it born the name iltidocrt Seymour,' and below that, "Photo graphist,' in small, neat typo. Wants to copy the old lady's picture.. . I'll bet a dollar that Miss Helen won't see him. - . Fortunately for his purse, no • one was near to accept the last wager, for Miss - Helen, - lbolted - at the - card; sent .word , to Mr. Seymour that she would be with him in a moment. It was not much longer when she entered the door of the room where he sat waiting. He rose from his seat, when she entered, and waited standing. whilst she crossed the long room. His artist taste was ,filled anti pleased while he Watehed her, yet his kindly eyes were full of Sympathy. - She was . so pale and sad, so very beautiful, with a dignified,' 'graceful beauty rarely .seen in one so young. The tall, sten-. dr, figure iu its close mourning dress, was full of pliant grace, yet there were vitality and ebergy,!too in the small white hands now pressed closely together, in the erect 'carriage a the' small head and the firm footfall of the little slippered feet. .11er :eyes bore marks of excessive weeping, yet ,oven in their; languor there was restitution and will, and the expressive mouth closed, firmly showing 'the decision in its delicate. curves: She crossed tho room slowly and graceftilly; not paus ing till.she stood' facing Mr. Seymour, when he, saw she still held his card in her bands. . _ Making this- hie introduetkin, ` he eitid, gently : 'My name le nod unfa miliar to you, I presume ?' She motioned him to resume hie Beat, and Sat down herself before she she ieplied. in a Joueical and' very pleasant.., to hear,t'Until a few days:the. flitutie.:wae Q 'strange ono to mp, 'BOYiniitiri but' 'lll:aye last, learietTthatit oply name have a right to olaim, wore ignoiant‘ of this until a Li A J 1 )1; =I few days ago,?' he said, in a tone Y this time-Helen's self-possessiOrt surprise.- -- . - ' - teturned to her.

He came no more to seek herM the evening; he seemed to take no interest in the preparation for a return to W—; he avoided her everywhere. - And while her loving heart was growing sick and sad over the change, Freder ick was sinking rapidly into his old despopdency. This heiress, this wealthy young lady of fashion was not his Hel en, at whose feet he could Pour his -bard-earned-wealth and -honor -in-the future. What would she care for the paltry sum he could offer, when she had thousands at her oivn command ? What would be the future of a poor struggling artist to her, when the no blest and wealthiest in the land would cluster in her_ magnificent dwelling? So the two loving hearts suffered apart iti'Silenee, until Helen felt as if her own would break when her uncle informed her that Frederick had decided to go to New York, and try to secure epo eition in a photographing establish ment there.

The , handsome house on Wr.----Street was open and brilliantly . - lighted, for all Helen's old friends had accepted her invitation to her New Year's party'. It Was altruist too early yet for the guests but Helen was in the..drawing room dressed and impatient. Her dress of costly white lace over white silk was adorned with sprays of starry jasmine, while on her throat, and wrists, and in the satiny folds of her dark hair dia monds glistened like .eyes of fire.
