PORTUNETELLING.
One day Jrs. Lorrlraer's only daugh
ter. Violette. was nowhere to be found
neither was the gentleman, Senor Es
panol, who taught the guitar. The
whole city was alarmed by an account
of tne mysterious disappearance oi a
beautiful pelloond a liard-wotklng,gen
tletnanlv vounc forelener. However,
when some one had discovered that the
last gave lessons to the first, an infer
ence was drawn by soma cool looker
on.
''May they not have cone together'"
The mother at once drove the slan
derer from her presence, preferring the
idea mat ner Vlolctto was murdered.
However, before lone a penitent letter,
all blotted with tears, reached the poor
old lady, all alono In her great Fifth
avenue mansion,
Violet was married to Senor Espanol
The more one loves a person tho more
furious docs any deception on her part
maueone, A less loving mother might
have forgiven. Stung to madness, this
one wrote a terrioie letter to nor looi
Ish girl who had so hurt her.
The husband a hot Spaniard, read It
It Insulted htm.and he forbad o his wife
ever to see her parent again. To do
him justice. lovo. and no mercenary mo
tive, had led him on to elope with his
pretty nctress.
So the gulf was fixed between tho
only two of the same blood who lived
on earth, aud Senor Espanol begun lo
give lessons on the guitar for two la
stead of oue. Then for three, then for
four, then for five, if bo had lived a
little longer it would have been six.
But the day the fourth child was born
a couutryman, who mistook him for a
rival, stabbed hira In the back. He ap
ologized at length the next minute, but
the poor victim did not live to hear him
through, but died trying to express the
fact that tne gentleman was perfectly
excusable.
.4ad so Violette, who would have
been very happy witli her musto master
had be been lss jealous, was left a wld
ow Willi four babies, no money, and lo
accomplishment that bad beon suffl..
cieutly cultivated to earn a llvinc by,
Of course she took in sewing, and of
course a day came when there was very
sman pi oa pec t or supper, ana not even
a dream of ureakfnst.
Not a penny In the house, not a loaf
ot bread In the closet, not a dollar's
worth of work to bo got anywhere, what
was she to do ? The poor little woman
walked up aud down and cried. Tbat
did not help her. She looked over the
relics of the past. Thev were pretty
pieces ot Jewelry, worth nothing. Valu
able things had an been sold long ago.
bhe glanced out of tho window, A wo
man, with a very large bran-new basket
and no shoes, went begging from door
to door.
The basket was worth two dollars
and a half, tbe shoes could have been
bougut for two. This singular clrcum
stancbs preyed upon her mind. She
began to take an Interest In tbe ways
and manners, of beggars, as the awful
expectation ot becoming one began to
haunt ner.
" I could drown myself," she said.
" but I could not very well drown four
cuuoren, line a utter oi puppies,"
Then leaning her chin on her hands,
she watched from her lofty window an
other woman with a handkerchief over
her head, going from door to door.
Was sbe begginc? It seemed not.
Once and tslce she entered and stayed
some time. At last sbe saw her at ner
own door, and heard her going, from
ni n m ,n rfu.ni 'lli una . n ci A t.nA.1. "
the door. She opened It, and, tho dark
hair under tbe silk handkerchief, tho
big black eyes, the rich complexion,
were there.
" Well?" she asked, InQulrlocly.
" Let me tell your fortune, lady. 1
only cbargo twenty-Qvo cents," said
ine woman.
" My fortune is told, since I havo
not twenty-live cents In the woruy
said Violette.
The woman turned, away
"Stop a moment," said Vlolcttts
u Tell me one thing : In this age do.
people pay you to tell their fortunes ?"
" Ho age is too old,"eaid the woman,,
to whom the word presented but one
idea. " I Just told an old lady's for
tune below. H was In the cards that
she was to have a husband, too her
fourth. Sbe gave me a dollas. Look I"
she opened her palm.
"I make money, t do," said she..
" I'm a gipsy. I'm a seventh child. I
see the fortune.. I'll take any little bit
of Jewelry If yon. haven't any money.
Have your fortune told ?" But Violette
shook her bead and closed tbe door.
" J, cannot steal, and to beg I am a
shamed,," said she to herself. "After
it Is dack. to-night I'll go out and tell
fortunes,"
Then, aha took two fiat Irons Co the
Jnuk shop, bought a loaf of bread and a
pint of milk, and fed her four children
she for whom nothing had onco been
dainty enough, aud who had ridden In
her own carriage.
Sbe put tbe children to bed, and loft,
the key with a neighbor In case of ore,,
a dread that haunts those many-storied
houses like a ghost, and then.djsgulsed
In vail, hood and shawl, went forJJi.
on her errand. It was a crazy dream,
She bad not courage to attempt-fortune-telling,
it was worse than begging.
She wandered along tbe street, leaving
tbe lll'Sinetling ones behind her, aud
coming at last to tho pure,aweet homes
of luxury. In the end she stood bo
fore her mother's wlbdows. There was1
a light In tho basement, and through,
tbe laeo curtains she aa w a table spread,.
and tho shadow of a figure she knew to
bo her mother's on the curtain,' and
there, drawing down tho shade, was
Martha, who had nursed her when a
child.
Tears filled her eyes. It was a Para.
dlsn which she never hoped to regain,
had not her mother written :
" A curse on you. Never darken
my doors more, unless you wish mo to
utter it."
But here at least she had not tho ter
ror of strangers upon her ; she could
beg or tell fortunes. She would tell
fcrtunes. Martha was 6uporstltutlou8,
and always had dreams of matrimony,
and of tbe coming baok of a lover who
had gone to sea whon she was In her
teens, aud had never been heard ot
since.
She crept up to tho window, and tap
ped on the panes. In a moment Mart
tha opened the door.
The hooded figure drew near ber.
"Let mo toll your fortune?" she
said.
"Bother," child Jiartha, "I'm past
fortunes."
"What?" said Violette. "With a
lover gone to sea?"
" Lord save us I" cried Martha.
" And In one place twenty years.'-'
said Violette.
"You know more than Is good,"
said Martha. " Stop a bit. Are you
oue of the clairvoyants?"
"Yes," said Violette.
" Could you see where people are;
what's come of them and that?" ask
ed Martha. "For instance, a gal that's
been gone eight years, could you look
for her In a dream like, as I've heard
they can, and find her?"
, "Yes, I think I could," said, Vio
lette. ' Sit here, then," Martha said, point
ing to a chair tn the ball, and hurried
Into the dining-room.
Sbe came back in a moment.
"Pome and speak to Missus," she
said.
And Violette, trembling so she could
scarcely stand, entered her mother's
presence.
No love Is like a mother's. Violette
had known tbat since sbo had cast It
off. She knew it now, lookiDg on the
pale face where the wrinkles had come
so thickly on the hair, all turned gray
now ou the sad eyes, that were so
bright when she saw them last.
Sbe longed to Kneel at ber mother's
feet and beg forgiveness, but sbe dared
not yet had not she sinned too deeply
to bopo for pardon ? Sbe etood silent
with her head bowed down.
" They tell me you are a clairvoy
ant," said Mrs. Lorrlmer. "I have
not much faith In such things, ami if
the power prospers Its possessors so
little It cannot be worth much'; but
still I have something to ask you. You
search for persons wno are far away,
do yon not and for lost things?"
Violate bowed.
"If you can find something I have
lost I wilt repay yon well," said Mrs.
Lorrlmer. " Here, sit down. Perhaps,
If you havo this knowledge, yoa can
tell me what I hayo lost."
Violette sat down.
"It should be darker," she said,
"will you lower tho Heb?"
Martha turned the cas down and
stood behind her lady's chair and
there was silence, violette bad cast
back her vail, but the firelight was not
bright enough to show ber features.
" .Lady," sbe said, In a law voice,
" It Is not cold or silver that I see : it
Is nothing that can be bought for
money. What I see is a girl."
Uood heavens I" cried the old lady.
" A Ctrl ot sixteen, with fair hair
and blue eyes," said Violette. "That
was what she was when you saw her
Last. Aui I rleht?"
" Yes," said Mrs. Lorrlmer.
" Yonloved her." said Violette t she
loved you. But she deceived you j she
waa wicked wieked wicked; but
there was an excuse for her. She fell
lu love ; she was mad for a while. You
nave cast lntr oft.' She is gone, You
will never see ber more."
"Husht hush I" cried Mrs. Lorrl
mer. "Sbe was not bad. I Was wick
ed ; I knew what It was to love, yet I
forsook hex because sbe knew it too.
Look acalu. How does life uso her 1"
"She Is a widow, and very poor,"
said Violette. "So wretchedly poor'
that she does not know where to get
oreaa , ou. sne win not come to you.
You would curce ber. You could not
forgive ber. Yon will never see her
again.
The old lady started from ber chair.
"What are you? How do you know
the secrets of my life, tbe words I
most repent uttering.? Look again I
Look I Tell me I shall see ner once
more. 1 ell me where to find tho only
babo I ever beld against 'my breast L
My little one my Violette where Is
she ?"
And then the woman sbe addressed
fell upou ber kneel and clasped her
band.
" Sbe Is here I'Vshe erledL " Mother.
she b here I" aud tbe two' wept togeth
er tn eacn other's arms ; and all was
liicgtven.
Ube good old mansion Is no longer
desolate., There are little children's
voices there, aud mother and' daughter
are together once more. Aud lu that
other world, where we cannot believe
that wrath endures, doubtless the lover
of her youth rejoices that Yloletta'a.
