WALTER GRAY'S WILL I
It's hard to confess it, particularly
hard for a woman, but I am obliged to
admit that I ara no longer at young
aa I one wan. Twemy-Bve years
ai;o I waa a widow. a I am to-day. but
theu I wa thirty-fire, and to-Uy I am
nlxty. Then I was attractive to-day 1
don't know what I urn.
When Jm-that waa my husband's
namo tiled, ha left me unprovided tor,
and aa I had a home full of Rood fur
niturn, and a lease ou a hou lu a
jrood position, I was, advised by lay
friends to lt my rooms.
I had little trouble in lettincr all my
rooms, except the aeooiid floor front, the
bHt in tho house, and for this the ap
plicants til aaid that I aked too much.
However. I would not come down, and
ao two months passed with lay beat
apnrtiueut empty.
One day the chambermaid, whose duty
It wai to attend to the stret-door, told
me that thre was a gentle-man In the
parlor who wanted to e tho second
floor front, and lu anawer to my qucation
brought forth by her contempt nous way
of u-iii the word "man. when In ail
other cases It was gntlcluan, she
said :
He's a rfiRh-lookin person, ma'am,
kinder country-lookin'. and not so very
young, uayther, though, mebbe, Ue may
be atliRle."
I went to the parlor to find a man of
about fifty, of not attractive face, which
ahowed exposure, rough hands, exhibit
ing labor, ami of very careti-Kg dn-ss,
though everything he had ou deuoted that
he was not poor.
I did not cant for the man as a second
floor front; and when he akod to seo it.
I met hi in with the price, putting on
thr dollars a week more.
Tui-i did not seem trv disturb him. and
m 1 could do nothing else thitn ahow it.
Wheu I did, he merely walWodiu. ttalkod
over t one of the windows, and gazing
out of it for a few momauU, turned to
me and said :
I'll take It, ma'am ; aad hero's a
month' rent in advance."
In tho arieruoon the expressman loft
two largo trunks, and then I knew that
my butter's name was Ralph Brown.
That evening he followed hut trunks,
and I bent Norah up to see if he wautod
anything or would have a cup of tea.
Slio was gono tea minutes, wheu cho
returued smiling, and autd .
Siiurc, uu.sthress, Misther Brown's
a par 11 ok glntleman. He didn't want A
thlntf In ti.e wurreld. but nome hot
wathcr lvry morula' at eight o'clock, an"
d ye fee now what he gave ui, aa' iays I
tha.ll have It every month riflur ;" aad
Norah displaytsl a livo-doll.ir bill.
Oh. oh ! thought I. Is that tho way the
cat Jumps? If o. I'm loo independent
to take advantage of it . and then I
asked Norah what Mr. Hrowu was doing,
thiuking. of course, she would aay he was
unpacking hi trunks.
Sfiureiiothin", ina'am, but lookin' out
at the wiudy."
Looking out of the window was all Mr.
Brown did wheu he took the ronis, and
that's what I found him doing the next
moniiug. when I went to his room to ask
hhn if therw was anything I eotil-l do to
add to his comfort, and ihat'nll Norah
found him doing whn ahe entered his
room to uttoud to her duties thcreiu,
after this.
l.'r. Jirown was coldly polite when I
called on him. He wanted aothing. h
said, aud, Norah declared. uWed no
questious, not even my name, but only
looked out of tho window.
CouM tho man lo doyeloplng a pecu
liar f.'.itufof iiisaiiily?
I remembered to have read years be
fore, a ease whore a patient had, for
forty years, otood in oua particular Cor
ner, and was only violent and dangerous
when ho was removed from it, and I
thought to myself that orhauH Mr.
Brown's mania might come under that
head.
By-and-by It began to disturb me rery
much. I was only a type of my sex. and
It had become a matter of personal cur
iosity with me.
I went out frequently whon I knew he
was in tho house, en that I could go to
tho corner, cross the way, and look up
at the window, and there I always Haw
him lolf concealed behind the curtain.
Sometimes I could hear him run rjuiekly
down the fctairs, and rushing rapidly into
the Mnn-t, walk away, up or down, as
the humor seamed to take him.
At la-t an i-lea struck in a. He was a
detective, and was watching one of the
hoaxes opposite, and with that Idea for
a clue, I liecame fctill more vigilant, and
with Norah' help, came to the conclu
sion that his attention was riveted on a
small hou-e almost opposite, on the
side of the door of which was a sign,
wit the name ol "Cavendish, Dress
maker. on it.
Then I called la Norah's help again,
who very ko n discovered that Caven
dish. Irr9iuakcr." luetuit an elderly
lady, and her daughter of nineteen, w ho to
all appearance, had seen better days,
but had plied that vocation in tho same
locality for two years, duri ig which time
the) old lady bad tten a Con tinned In
Valid and rarely left the house, while
they had no company except no young
man. who was usprM to bo Mias Mir
iam Cavendish's Intended.
So far. so good ; aud now what on
reetln was there between the Caven
dishes and my lodger? That 1 was
dt -r mined to find out, though some
C -opie would say It was none of my
usine ; hut I say it was as long as he
was my lodger.
The drst step In the matter was to 'he
roine acjunintcd with the Cavendishes.
1 walkU in upon them oae morning, in
triKluccd iiiyielf, and told them I wautod
a dress made.
I was e-.-c ived by both the mother, a
pale, high-bred, gentle-spoken woman ;
the daugiter. a beautiful, dark-haired,
dark-eyed -nirl-
I iievr met with a sweeter creature
In my lite thau Miriam t'avendUh. I
loved tbat girl from the first moment I
saw her. said I made every excuse while
they were working for me to run over and
govslp witk them, and I urn-d to take
them over tittle tid-bits. and if I had
toothing els to take, a jsr of preserve
or pickles. Mine particularly flue tea, or
a tattle of wine for the old lady, for it
did not take f ng for me to find out that
they were very poor, and that such little
delicacies vtefB almost 6 1 rangers to
lheui.
liy-and-by the) Cavendishes and I be
(im well acquainted, and I used to talk
tc them all about my lodgers, aad es-j-eially
about ray Kecond floor front.
Jt wart clear to me at once that they
krvw nothing about him.
Tiiis puzzled nve till more, ttK-cause
every day eonvluend me that it was Mir
iam iietidish ho was watching, aid I
now -knew why it was he hurried out ol
tho liot-e so strangely at times.
It via Irf-caue In bis watehing he hal
seen Mif iun come out of her house, and
ho followed her, coming back when rhe
did, but never. I was sure, Joining her or
peaking to her.
AllriAia someUaiew went to ereaing
ehurak. and owe n!a;ht I invited ruyse'.f to
o With her, ntUfled that Mr. Bro-vu
toUowed her, aud I fouud that I taS
tight.-,,-.
ti cams in linaiodlately after us. and
seated bimself tu such a way that h
could look dir--t!y iu her face without
seeming to be rx-le, wnd during the eutir
servicn ho seemed ao absorbed In gazing
at Lf r that to aj parent ly knew notLmK
'v.. ,Aftr tl cyic I aald j;!ltv
Milium as we rose: - -
" Don't look now, dear, but presently
glance over to your right, and that man
La a gray salt is my second-floor front-"
She said laughingly :
" He'll never have to pay A" tal on his
beauty, Mr. Fisher, will hs? I think
he's about the ugliest man I ever saw.
It was plain that she did tot know him.
The next day I met Mr. Brown ta the
hall, by his own Intention. I am Sure.
" Good-morning. Mrs. Fisher," he said.
I met you at oliurch last night. Tbat
was a remarkably pretty girl you had
with you."
1 answered. " Tea, and as good as she
was pretty." and then, seeing that he was
inclined for a 0sip, I Invited hlid Into
tho parlor.
I toid him all I knew of Miriam, which
really was not much, but what seemed to
trout. 1 him the most was that Miriam
was engaged to be married to Charles
Melntyro. the young man whom, no
doubt.' Mr. Brown had frequently ?oii
calling there, and they were only waiting
for Mtlntyre's promotion he was a clerk
in the ost ofiieo to bring it about.
One thing I did not forget to let him
know, and that was that the Cavendishes
were wry poor.
. Alter this, but on the other sldo of the
street, there was commotion. The first
was caused by tho arrival of a beautiful
bouquet, with only a card iiiscriled "From
a friend. Then came a baakut of costly
fruit the same way. without any chaucu
of questioning the messenger.
To be short, almoat daily came some
thing, even to a cartload of groceries, aud
all untraceable, and so scut that thev
could not send them away, without al
Bolutely throwing them into the street.
' The (L'avrndi -lies could not imagine
tho source, and were terribly auionxj. I
did kuow-. but did not tell, and laughed
away tln-ir doubts aud fears, until tho
old lady looked u;Hn them as gifts from
heaven." and accepted blindly, whilu I
wondered as much us over.
Could l'.rowu hot in love with Miriam
and afraid to declare it? Atisunl ! h
was old, ugly, queer, and, I found out
partially deformed: and. stranger still,
when I offered to tako him over to Mrs.
Cav-'iidii-h's. and introduce him, he per
uuiptonly declined.
And now comes the strangost part ol
all. and the end.
Oi.o morning. I was startled by the
screams of Norah, and I rushed up to
Mr. Brown's room to lind him stretched
s.nscl.-!ss on the floor, just under the
window, whero he had, doubtless, fallen
w hile looking out.
Wo got hi:u on the hod, and Norah
ran for Dr. King, who ptnu-.unced it
ajw.plexy. and said that he might re
cover lor a while, but the attack was
fatal.
11 did recoT-er conecloutmecs and
speech in a few hours, aud badn mo aoimI
a message f r a certain lawyer. When
the lawyer enrue. he and lr. King were
closeted with Mr. Brown for several hours,
ami then 1 and one of my lodent were
called in to witness a will.
For three) days Mr. Brorn linred.
and I must say that Norah ami I did onr
duty by him, oa well ad Liio doctor, and
saw the poor fellow, sa'ho tho lawyer
said had neither friends por relations
In tho whole world, quietly laid to
rest.
He requested us all that wo have his
will read immediately after his fur.eral.
and that Miss Mi nam Cavendish be
present at tho reading.
I was not surprised at all this; and
yet, at the saiuo time, whon, tho day
before, I had whimperingly askel him
if he would like to see 'Miriam, that
if ho would I would bring her over,
ho had t-haken his head in a frightened
maimer, and had tuniod his face to the
wall.
The will was road, and after enumer
ating his projwrty, which footed np to
nearly a million, everything was left to
Miriam Cavendish, with the proviso that
she was never to marry, and if she re
fused it upon these terms, then search
was to be made for Ellen Moore, of ,
county. New Hampshire and the
whole given t . her or her heirs. Failing
this, lie gave it to hospitals and rarious
charitios, which he named. Tho con
cluding part of the will read :
lu leaving my property to E'len
Moore, I leave it with my forgiveness for
the cruel way that she treated me over
thirty years ago, away that drove me
from my native land and mado my life a
wreck, ami for further explanation, 1 re
fer her, if living, to my letter accompany
ing this will."
"I fhall rofuso tils bequest, said
Miriam. I am engaged to bo married.
and I would not brea It for all the wealtm.
f tho world."
" And I," sa'd old Mrs. Cavendish, who
had come over with her datishter. "claim
it as Ellen Moore, of the town of ,
county. New Hampshire, though I
never kuew any ono by tho iianie of
lialph Brown."
The will is made and signed by Walter
oray, said the lawyer quietly.
Oh I" exclaimed tiie old lady, ex
citedly. I thought 1.0 Waa tlead long
ago."
" I forgot, mamma, that yonr name was
once Moore, said Miriam.
Then Mr. Brown's le.ter was read.
It was long, but the short of it was tbat
he told how, when he waa eighteen, he
had fallen in love with Ellen Moore, and
being rejected, he had left home, changed
his name, and had ever sine been a
wanderer on the face of the enrth.
He had bec.me rich in California, and
wn on his way back to bis native town,
when, ono day, walking through the
city, he hail seen Miriam, who so startled
him by her likeness to his early love.
Ellen Moore, that he followed her, found
out where she lived, and from that mo
ment his infatuation was uncontrollable,
though ho felt no disposition to approach,
her nearer than he had, and died in ig
norance as to who she really was.
Mrs. Cavendish gave her own explana
tion of Walter Gray's letter.
"When I knew Walter, over thirty
years ago. bo was a shop-boy, and w as
not earning enough to keep himself, lot
alone a wife, while my father was rh
and an officer in the Navy. Tie fell in
love with me, and I langhed at and dis
missed him. and that is all.
He disappeared, ami I have not henrd
from him until to-day. I afterwards
marrleii Mr. Cavendish, and when ill
fortmio overtook us we me here, and,
f course, poor Gray could not reetignizc
ki Miriam am thing moro than what he
tho.ght tho chance resemblance to Ellen
MMre.
.Ellen Moore took Walter Oray's wealth,
and her daughter married Mclntyre,
wlilo Norah and I each took a small
which Mr. Brown Lad willed us.
A Chance for tha Old Ma a.
Tbey were bitting on the porch aad it
was growing late.
"Would von mind If I lighted A cigar.
MN Clsra?" he aaked.
'"Certainly not, Mr. "Sampson," she ra
pliei. And prently the old man, who was
fretting desperate, spoke from an opeo
window above:
"Daughter," he said, "I left my rubber
nrerrhoes near the kitchen atove and yon
had better see to cm. I can smell some
thing burning. Epoch.
A Sunday school lessoa whs on tha

The parties to this Conversation wore
wo young ben. The scientist wai t'ro
'essor Henry Detrop, ct the Chalf of
reology of one of the &nlvers.tieS.
As he beard the lawyer's concluding
remark, A audd.a light filled bis eyes
ind ho bowed bis head to hide bis emo
Jon. His agitation was toot due to ids
acquirement ot wealth at a single bound ;
ae had received the Communication. wi;u

When he was aloto, rrofoasor Detrop

he remained in thought; finally, taking
his pen. ho wrote slowly and carefully
for some time, read And io-tuaJ the

What ho wrote was Aa follows :

far away. Ue concluded bitterly that
she had. among other things, forgotten
his elevated and exalted position in
society, and that she remembered just
sufficient to open the book vt liirtatiou

Dr. Detrop arose without a word and
started dow n the slope alone. He did rot
even look at her.
"Mr. De;rop. The voice that called
him tremb.ed. and the eyes that he
turned to seo were suffused with tears.
"Oh, it is nothing," she managed to
say ; I merely wished to bid you good
afternoon." Then she turned to her book. Here
was an evident lesson In politeness
which be could not comprehend. The
picture before him revived all his pas
sionate yearning. Had tho circumstances
lsen different he would have felt
like dashing his head against the
oak for Lis cruelty Vo this exquisite

His hands worked nerronsly. His

violently.
Daya passed, and Dr. Detrop followed
his usual wanderings about i ray beach.
Once he met the Androbe carriage con
taining the entire family, but he did not
even look up. Tho day of his return to
tho university waa rapidly drawing nigh.

the many gentlemen eagerly demanding

to revel in the crush of men,

A CALIFORNIA STORY.
Jack Burgis had been in California a
nnmber of years, and at present vaa
working in a large mine near the north,
Fork of the Feather liiver.
His cabin was a neat, substantial, one
storied dwelling, near Coou Canon, Bar
rounded by ctiaparrel shrubs and mad
rone trees, with their glossy foliage Jixe
laureL
A mountain stream bubbled over the
stones just before the door. Altogether,
it was a picturesque place, and Jack had
tried to make it anug and homelike.
Chintz curtains shaded the windows
within, and wdd honeysuckle did the
same duty outside. The furniture con
sisted of some chintz-covered chairs an 1
a lounge; a crimson-covered taole, with
two or three late papers upon it, showed
tint Jack was a reader. A corner closet
held some necessary crockery ware, and
Lms stove, ou which his bachelor meals
were cooked, was shining and clean. The
ad oimng room held his bed, neatly
spread with red and blue blankets.
He was more comfortaidy situated
than most miners, and had quite an idea
of asking a pretty girl, someday, to share
life with bun; but as yet he was heart
whole, iiis dog Carlo, and a trusty niio,
his only company.
Some nights he walked over to the
adjoining town, others he spent at home,
mending his traps in which he caught
fox coons, and other small animals.
It was Thursday evening as the stage
coach toiled slowly up tho mountain
roads, and the driver flicked his wnip
over the backs of tha six sturdy horses,
to hurry them up. In the distance, on
another grade, could be seen one of the
Eureka teams, with fourteen horses, find
the "l'rHir.e tschooner," (as they call the
hig'n freight wagons,) with the tender
following; and the immense chock block,
dragging, left a side track, as if a 8 mouth
roller had passed over it.
On the seat with the driver sat a fair,
pretty girl Allie Boyce. This was her
first trip to the mountains from her val
ley hoiue. She was going to visit hor
cousins, at Strawberry valley ; they were
quite well oil, and kept tho "Columbus
House."
Al io was enjoying the scenery from
hor elevated perch, the tall pines, stretch
ing ton Upiod branches to tho tky.
Above her were snow capped peaks, und
tho roadside was bordered witit busiies
covered with pink buds; hero and there
were thickets of the white azalia, aud
through the foliage she saw the starry
dogwood blossoms, and the dusty trails
et retelling lika Lrown ribbons up the
mountains side. There was no sound
save the thud and boom of timber coin
ing down on thenume tide, or a quail s
wnistle.
Khe was asking tha driver what the
pirw found to amuse themselves with,
aud he told her of the frequent dances
and parties given by the Odd Fellows, or
some other society.
she was very glad, as a pretty girl
should be, that she put in the little brow n
trunk si': ugly strapped behind her pretty
pale blue lawn, Willi itsvano is ribbons;
an l her shapely foot tapped approvingly
a tin box in which she had placed her
damty little sapphire blue velvet bonnet;
the tin box was dust proof, and just thj
thing for a mountain trip.
The sun was stealing over tlio pina
trees, aud his ardent rays shone redly
on the blu.ls of brown. Tho driver
could hardly see his leaders for the glare,
wheu suddenly ther was a loud shout,
and a t ry o; "llanda up I Far 'o box
harry V
The driver drew rcina as he reached
tht top of the hill, so quickly as almost
to throw his wheelers on their haunches,
lie k iew by experience that a refusal
meant a dose of lead pills ; so he hastily
seized the box, flung it out, and whipped
np his horses before frightened Aide
realise 1 that not the tin express box, but
her treasured bonnet had gone fro n her
bewildered gaze to an ouappreciative
road agent.
The driver, when toM this, looked to
see, and s ira enough the express box
was sde; thea he chuckled, and w histled
to bis horses to "get along there, you old
gird in est!'
But he shopped laughing when ho saw
Allin's rueful lace.
'.Never mind, miss; Wei's and Farro
will be good for yer tmnnit, I'll be bound,
as the money s ail right."
So comforted Allie brightened tap till
thy reached thiColuuiuui House, where
a warm welto.ne frooi her cousins groet
ed her.
The road agent lifted his mask as the
tin 1kx led at his ice t. He soon pried
it open, and loud snd Ions were his
curses as be saw no gol C no bids, but a
littl eai.phire velvet bonn-'t, with a
blush rose nestling iu its folds. He gave
it a kick that sent it :n the brush, i-ut
the box cover shut and kept the dust
our. As tlio agent w;nt through tha
woods ha cursed his luck, and the blue
bonnet especially.
Tl at aft moon Jack happened to be
retnrnimj fro. ji tho town, lie had been
aft.-ra tank of quick-silver for cleaning
up. He htr.vle along whistling cheerily,
with Carlo e.oo to his heels.
The sun, passing throng; the brush,
lit up the tin box ; and as it e'eame i
bri,hily, it attract! Jacks attention,
l.e sprang toward it, an 1 bis eyes irrew

that had caught there.
11c c ireiully put the hair in his pocket
book, picked up the box and went home.
wIito ho careiiilly stowed it away tiil

Bat all that evening Jack's heart kept
tann as hi fancied a gold n-haired,
blue-eyed girl in the chair opposite him;
snd t arlo was calle I on oiten to loot up
and hear, -Vell, old dog, she matt be a
beauty, eh a regular sun earn !"
1 inally, tired out, he eoiiiht repose,
only to.ireau of a blue bonuet trimmed
with golden hair, and ths on Carlos
head and a an box lor a veil. "Of such
etu if dresses are made."
When Allie told her cousins of tlio
fright and her lo a. theylau;hed heartiiy
over the roid agent's disapointuient,
and consoled her by saving,
", ih, your brown hat is just tho tbin-

(mr f riend Jack was there, looking
unusually handsome. The floor mana
ger approached him, saying,
Jack, lot me introiuco vou to Miss
Boyce, a pretty valley girl.
So Jack, nothing loth, was soon bowing
before A Hi i and asking "the pleasure ol
her hand for the next set."
He noticed approvingly her golden
hair and pretty eyes, and Allie looked
kindly into his black ones. .
Jack's heart beat quick'y as he re
membered his lately found treasure, and
thought how sweet sho wouid look in
that bonnet.
"All lorn for the next set!" shouted
he manager. And Aliie's eyes tJasncd
a laughing look at Jack as a stout miuer
approached a buxom wouiau and shout
ed. ul I old girL let's you and I take a
trot 'round th.s room."
Be. ore the evening was over Jack'e
heart had 1-ft him entirely, never to re
turn at least alone. So "when tho "Si
cilian circle" was forming, and ho heard
a young lady say, "Oh, Miss Boyce, did
the rosd agent return your lionnct ?"' he
felt certain of success; for had he not
found the missing articlo ? And he had
read a libel somewhere that a woman's
heart was in her bonnet."
Alter this party, Jac often went to the
Columbus llous, each time finaing him
self more in love, yet not certain if Allie
returned his passion. Finally tho day
came for her departure, and Jack rods
up to bid her good-by, but with a tugging
at his heartstrings unusual to carel hs,
happy go-lucky Jack. He found Allia
very serious; so, when her cousins had '
left them alone he asked if ehe was sorry
to leave the mountains.
As she turned to answer him he saw
something in the sweet blue eyes that
made him say,
"Allie, won't you stay always ? Be my
wife ! I love you dearly, and will always
try to maite you nappy.
Aliie's answer must have been yes, for
ho then and there decided to return
with her, and ask her parents for his
treasure.
And at Christmas there was a pretty
wedding in the Valley Church. Alter
the breakfast. Jack gave Allie a largo
parcel ; on opening it, she fonnd her long
lost bonuet.
Tnat same day" Wells and Farg; had
sent her a check for fifty dollars, hoping
she could replace her loss.
Now any day you may see Allie, happy
and contented, under tier own vine and
fig tree; for Jack, knowing the foothills
oi California aro famous for fruit, has
planted grapes, oranges and nuts.
Iu their parlor you will see a neat
frame of sapphire blue velvet, and a
photograph ot the stage-coach with its

PROFITABLE F0RTUNE-TELLIN3.
Career of a Frenchwoman 'VVhoVaed To Be
Con.ultetl by Josephine and Other "No
table People.
"Fortune telling" is evidently a pros
perous profession still in France, seeing
tlie.t the will of Mine. Moreno, the carto
xuancienne, has been "proved" to use
the Kulish phrase under GoO.OOO francs,
or i!4,000 sterling.
This whs not, assured Iy, a bad sum to
have miule simply by telling empty
headed iwtites dames, unsophisticated
seamstresses, ignorant servants and gul
lible peasant women, that when they
turned up the king of hearts they would
lie sure to get a good hu.band or "pro
tector," provided the monarch's festnres
appeared uppermost; but that when the
reverse was tiie ease "rocks ahead" were
to le apprehended for it was out of this
kind of nonsense that Mme. Mareau was
able to live comfortably on her rent, of
which the interest amounted to XI, 000 a
year.
The supposition is that the skillful car
tomancienuo was "well up" in the works
of Ktteila. who has composed a remarka
ble treatise on the prognostications as to
the future that may be deduced from the
king ami queen of hearts, the aaa of
spades, the kuave of clubs and othercards
in tho pack; but Mme. Mareau's oard
readiiig was ingrafted on native talent ia
the art of "taking people in," and ehe
nlsohad the magni-Gcent opportunity of
receiving hiuts and enggettiousin fortune
telling from her still mere famous prede
cessor, Mine. Lenormand.
This notorious cartomnncienne was said
to havo predicted t he great revolution long
before it. broke out, aud she was consulted
by many uotable people of her day, who
flocked to her sumptuous rooms in tha
Fanburg Saint Germain.
One of her most asidnons customers
was Josephiue de Bcaubarnai, who. being
a credulous and rather ignorant Creole,
consulted the devineresse on every con
ceivable subject, and likewise made the
reputation of the Lesormand by impart
ing to her uamerous secrets concerning
Napoleon and his intentions, projects or
resolutions, a'.l of which Information was
sedulously used, assimilated and applied
by the cartomancienne in proper time and
season.
Thus, when the wife of General Moreen
went to consult her in 15s, Lenormand,
thanks to Josc phine'a gossip, was able to
ttll her that the General was in danger.
She predicted the downfall of General
Dubnc, who, when be was going to exe
cution, regretted aloud that he had not
followed the advice of the fortune-teller
and fled from France.
Lenorniand also foretold the diroree of
Josephine and Napoleon, but was unable
to get a glimpse into the secrets of her
own destiny, for she was three times put
Into prison withent knowing her fate be
forehand, and she died In ISiZ at the agw
of 75. having always prophesledthat she
would live to attain the age of 1-L Lon
