Lap Year Christmas.

Frederick Charles Bunting had been
Amanda i'usenberry shadow for three
years, TO The exclusion Of other young
men who would have been attracted by
the maiGcn's charms had Frederick
Charles unremitting attentions left
them any opportunity. lie was at the
Dusenber.y home two or three even
ings a week and all of Sunday after
noon. This being the case, it was no
wonder that he had the field to him
self and tsat other young men thought
il useless 50 look in that direction.
But the two were not engaged.
There was nothing in the way of it ex-
cept Frederick Charles inability to ask
Amanda to marry him. lie was not
coward ia other respects, but he
dreaded to put the question. and
Amanda Laowed no indication of help
ing hin. Her idea was that if a girl
was not worth proposing to she was
not worth having.
When the present year of grace ar
rived, being leap year, the diGident
young man cherished the hope that his
eharmer would exercise a wcman's
prerogative. which comes every quad
renium, and propose to him. But up
TO the da;e of the incident about to be
narrated. the hopes of Frederick
Charles had been disappointed
The two were sitting before the fire
in the Dusenberry parlor one Thurs
day night in the middle of December.
when the girl remarked: How rapidly
time is flying! 1t win soon be Christ
mas"
'Yes," he replied, "and it will be
leap year Christmas, too By the way,
leap year will soon be gone"
so it will" replied the girl, de-
murely.
What would you like me to give
you this leap year Christmas? asked
the young man.
"Why, Fred, I'd like you to give
me"
Speak out Amanda. Don't be
afraid" replied Bunting, who began
to get courageous with the idea that
at last he had about brought her to
the point of asking that he give him
self as Christmas gift.
I'LL hardly like to-"
And the girl hung her head.
Don't be afraid. I'll give you any
thing you ask for" he declared in a
great bust of generosity.
well, then, Fred, | wish you would
give me"
"Out With il. Don't be backward"
he said, inpatiently. "Give you what,
my dear?"
'Give me chance TO see something
of some other young men besides your.

With glad feet the mother hurried on.
Not sound but the dropping Of cones
broke the stiffness Of the forest. Faster
and thicker they seemed to fall at each
onward step. A perfect storm Of cones.
They dropped upon her head; they fell
ct her feet; they pelted her shoulders;
they filed her basket. Frightened, the
poor woman turned and fed. glancing
neither to the right or left Heavier
and heavier the basket grew. Breath
less and exhausted she reached her cot

The mother entered and quickly
barred the door. Husband, husband,

where to gather the best cones. Invent

True, there lay the cones, silver every
one, cleaning in the freight as had
the beard of the little man in the gold

The morrow's sun had tipped the
graceful frs with gold, when again
the mother stood at the edge Of the
forest. In a moment the Gubich was
before her. "Good-morrow. good soul!
Founds't thou not beautiful cones

the forest. The mother struggled to
speak. keep thy thanks, l wish them

Not more quickly speeds the wind
