L>. Stuart ii\ New York Leclgor. THE YOUNG CRIPPLE. Sho was tho youngest but- one of a fom- I lly of oight. Physically h?r lifo was and could ho nothing save ono long oruolQx ion. Crippled mid deformed, there strotch od behind her a rceortl of suffering, before her tho prospect of greater torture still. Niituro lmd used her cruelly, for while her puny and misshapen frame inspired ridi? cule, or tit best shuddering pity, sho had been dowered with a capacity for affection Hint burned Itself into fiercer Intensity waltlng tho love that never came. Misunderstood, she had gradually re? treat eil into a little world of her own, with nothing to love. Nothing? There was her violin, but that could hardly bo considered opart, from Ida's own individuality. It was her violin that expressed more elo? quently than herself could over have done tho loneliness and tho lovolessuoss of her i life. How many heart conceived tragedies I had throbbed harmlessly away upon its vibrating strings! Mow many delirious tiny dreams had groped their way from her Inner consciousness into exhilarating life through that medium which faithfully In torpretcd all her varying moods! "It speaks forme," sho once confessed to the old doctor who understood her bet? tor than any one clso. "What other peo plo foul thoy can explain in words, but I scorn to have no power of expression ex? cept through my violin." Dr. Marshall was silent for a moment. Then he asked presently, "Did you over hear my boy Austin play?" Ida shook her head. She had heard no one. Her morbid consciousness of infirm? ities prevented her from attending any public concert, and Austin Marshall, as sho knew, was a professional violinist of repute. "You ought to bear him. They toll mo his execution is remarkably good, and lie sides geniuses like you two ought to know euch other. I'll tell you what. I'll do," bo added kindly. "I'll bring him round one evening to sen yon, if you like, when ho isn't busy." Not many days elapsed ere the doctor kepi his promise, and Austin Marshall, tall and strong, held the small, wasted band of tho diminutive musician and won? dered the while bow the perfect soul his father bad descrllKxl bad niitniiged to Und itself in that misshapen little Issly. And, later on, when Ida had completely astound? ed him with her rendering of Dvorak's "Romance"?wild, intense and heart breaking?ho told himself thai such a thing was monstrous. Here was an uutu tored genius, beside whom himself would pah' inio comparative Insiguiflcuucc, doomed by nature tu perpetual solitude while, Orpheuslike, she sought by her music to charm into life tho rocks und t rees. "You want some lessons to correct a few technical errors," bo said at last, "and then you ought to ho able to hold yoftr own at Queen's ball or St. James'with tho best of them. If 1 could believe in tho transmigration of souls, I would swear the lost soul of some repentant sinner is imprisoned in your violin." Ho spoke with tho generous enthusiasm of genius. Mere talent, is sparing of praise and begrudges success. "I can never play in publls," she an? swered briefly, with a painful flush that testified to her sensitive recognition of physical defects. "Ida on a public; platform! Why, they'd never see her!" interpolated a jovial older brother, which the brutal candor admiring friends had sometimes mistaken for frank geniality. "We call her the Diminished Seventh," lie ndded, with a conscious smile that betrayed tho originator of the questlonablc pleasantry. Door Diminished Seventh! She winced as from a blow, and Austin, with tho in lent ion of covering her confusion, observed With ready tnct: "I suppose because tho minor harmon ies are most perfect and least understood.' The retort, was so sudden and so unex pected that for onco the wag of the family was left speechless and not quite certain whether sonic disguised slur on himself bad not been subtly Introduced, while Idn feeling vaguely that those few worths had Sealed a compact of eternal friendship be tween Austin Marshall and herself, took I up her violin again and dashed Into a wild ami characteristic Hungarian air, whoso reckless jubilance was shadowed by an underlying vein of sadness. And when at last tho music was all over she crept, to be room up stairs, marveling that tho liool of life, with its multitudinous posslblll ties, bad never been opened to her ut til enchanting page of friendship. That evening was but the forerunne of many similar. Scarce a day passed Without Austin Marshall contriving to spend some time with the deformed intisi clan, and as the days lapsed into weeks anil the weeks into months, it. was noted that when Ida played nlono her airs wore more romantic than before. And even lie unmusical family became infected with their goyoty. Her mother, who frequently alleged she could enjoy good music as much as any one, if she could only get it was cheered to tho verge of joyful antici patlon, for who knew that Idn might not attain tho supremo height of Inspiring dance musio, such as her mother loved and abandon forever those ghoulish wails sho said were classical. But. when the old doctor noticed tho Change ho shook bis head in apprehension while tears of pity tilled his eyes. His pro fession had trained him to read tho long ings of tho heart as well as tho inflrmitb of the tenement it. inhabited, and if nil he thought and dreaded were true? Had things been different! If Ida had not bet distinctly isoluled by nature from the sweetest gifts life can hold! , And one evening camo tho crisis tho good doctor feared. "1 shall miss all this dreadfully win I'm away," Austin said as ho turned ovt a pile of musio for a particular duct "I'm going north in a day or two, you know. Didn't I toll yon?" ho added, an swerlng the unspoken quostlon. "Next autumn, when lam back again bo said presently, feeling vaguely that something was wrong, "we shall have some more pleasant evenings together, hope." Ida spoke not. For a moment, she was conscious of naught save a terrible senso of absolute despair and a curious bnzzlng In her head, like the repeated twang of tho G string. Going away?and until tho au? tumn! Why, by that tlmo sho might bo doad and buriodl Bho looked round va? cantly, ns ono gropes blindly in tho dark for some familiar object, Sho tried to speak, hut tho words refused to come. Something like u dry sob rose and was strangled in her throat. Then, without a single word, sho took her bow again and drew it softly across tho vibrating strings, Austin looked up In momentary surprise. Then he sat spellbound, while she played tho weird "Jiomnuco" of Svcndscn's, onco heard never forgotten. lb- had heard it played by mow than Ino llnishod musician, but this was a dif? ferent rendering. It was like tho despair? ing cry of a lusty swimmer failing near tho shore, or tho wail of a lost soul striv? ing to oscnpe from tno son of torture and driven buck by a host of fallen angels, lu those strains lie read her heart as plainly 'is though speech had passed between them. Jlo knew the bitterness of her life, he saw the vista gray and barren before her, and when tho last note died away lie learned in a brief glance from Ida's eyes nil tho lit range discords had not confessed. It was but. for an instant, for in tho next, overcome by tho strong excitement she had just experienced, the bow slid helplessly from her nerveless lingers, and she fainted. Symptoms of little moment in tm or? dinary person might in her cuso prognos? ticate the worst, and any new phase, how? ever slight, was at once submitted to med? ical opinion. In tbe present instance, a-; sho failed to respond readily to tho cus? tomary treatment, Austin hastened for his father while she was carried to her room. Site lind overexerted herself with Iiorilllislo was the general explanation of tbe seizure, and this was what tho doctor was told when he answered the hasty summons. In a brief space, however, she yielded to his restoratives, and before ho loft the house sho had dropped into asleep quiet and nat mal. For some tlmo father and son went homeward in silence. Then the doctor asked abruptly: "Does Ida know you are going nwny?" "I told her this evening," Austin an? swered, and in some confusion, as ho re? called the woy she had received tho news. "Father, do you know"?? "Ah, that accounts for it!" said the old man. as though speaking to himself. "Yes; do I know what?" "Well?I think?1 bat is, I'm nfraid that Ida"? Ho stopped short, for tho confession was alike tender and bumilat ing. Hut his father, who bad feared such a contingency well nigh from tho first, un? derstood what had been left unsaid. "I know, Austin, 1 know. Hut what is to be done': The friendship that you have felt for her?that she believes she has felt, fur you?has been tin one bright spot in her life. Seventeen years old and 17 years of perpetual martyrdom. Do you know how long 1 give bei' to llVC?" "1 suppose that when she's HI"?Aus? tin began, bin the doctor cut him short. "If she lives to see the spring," he said gravely, "I shall be surprised." Tho young man was startled, oven Shocked. There was silence between i belli for a few moments; then tho doctor said, wit li hesital ion: "Au-tin, l suppose you would not think of putting off your visit to tho Harrisons? I know Marian ? xpects you, but I think if she knew t he pleasure you would bo giv? ing that poor child whoso days oro num? bered sho would be the first to bid you stay. In a case like this thoro can bo no question of disloyalty to her. And, Aus? tin, if you can, for heaven's sake let her still hoilovo that sho lias found tho affec? tion bIio has craved all her life. Tho de? ception won't be for long, and It will com? fort her more in her last struggles than I or the entire college of physicians could hope to do with all the science that the world has ever known." Five weeks later. In Ida's bedroom, n thin ribbon of spring sunshine had strug? gled through a crevice of tbo window blind and lava bright streak across tbo floor. Outside, the garden was cheerful with tho song of birds and the rustling of leaves, inside sat, the little cripple propped up with pillows, her pitiful vitality burn? ing itself slowly away. Sho know she was dying, hut tho knowl? edge brought her no fear. Perhaps she believed that if eternity held for her Worse tortures than she had yet endured she had served on earth tin apprenticeship to pain long enough to lit her for it. Perhaps Austin Marshall's companionship and sympathy during the last few weeks were making the end comparatively easy. At any rale, when tbo door was opened quiet ly and he looked In, violin in hand, sho greeted him with a grateful smile. "Like to have some music?" he asked cheerfully, though be was pained to mark each day how her hold on lifo was weak? ening, "What shall I piny?" "Give mo mine," sho said suddenly, "and we'll play together." Tho violin lay, as usual, on tho table close by, but Austin hesitated. "if you really feel equal to the exer? tion," he began, and then, answering the command in her eyes, ho passed it to her without another word. With tremulous lingers she drew her bow across the strings, and recognizing in the opening notes her favorite, "Lied," by Schubert, Austin softly followed, and in a moment, was so absorbed be scarce noticed how her bowing became gradually weaker, until it. faltered and stopped just before tho concluding bars. Ho looked up in sud? den apprehension. Surely her face bad not worn that strange gray shadow just be? fore. "Ida!" Sho did not move. "Ida, what is tho matter? What is it?" Shn opened her eyes, but they foil on him without a gleam of recognition. Then sho dropped them on the violin sho was still bidding. A faint smile rested for a moment on her lips. With an unsteady hand she mechanically raised bor bow. Then, with one chord?that of tho di? minished seventh?it dropped from her re? laxing hold, but not before Austin had in? voluntarily concluded tho phrase, so that the diminished? seventh was resolved into perfect harmony.?Block and White. Fairy Stories. Some girls put away their dolls and thoir fnlry books long before they wish to give them up because some one says, "You are too old for such things." That Is all nonsense. There are genuine fairy stories with no hint of a moral which an? Ilm delight of everyone who loves good literature. The word love is used purpose? ly instead of like, for those of ns who lovo literature feel that the characters are real, and ninny of them are cherished friends. The next time you long for fairy stories and tear that you will lie laughed at go to the library ami go! Hawthorne's "Wonder Book." Head It in full sight of those who tondontu fairy tales. Coax them to look into it. Von will probably not Ik? allowed 16 have it again fo? a long tlmo?not till IllO Ono WllO look It has read It at least 'twice over."?Brvoklyu Kugle. I FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
