and laid licr hands, palms upward, en
the cushion.
The nalmUt sneke then, for h flt
lime, te Mnrle.
"if you will kindly wait outside,
mademoiselle," she said. Hhe spoke
with n slightly foreign nccent, but her
voice was soft and musical.
Marie went reluctantly. She would
like te have heard what Dorethy was
told.
It was only n few minutes before
Dorethy was out again, her face flushed
and her eyes bright ns If with un
shed tears.
"It'M all rubbish," she said harshly,
hen Marie eagerly questioned her.
"As If anybody believes In It! Are
you going In? Very well, be quick.
I'll tall you afterward what she said
te mc."
Marie went back Inte the tent. She
had taken off her gloves and tdtpped
her wedding ring Inte her pocket. The
palmist had nddresacd bcr as made
moiselle, und she was curious te knew
If she would still belleve her te be un
married when she had examined her
hands.
She laid them palm upward en the
velvet cushion, and the woman opposite
took them in her soft clasp, smoothing
the palms with her ferc.lngcrri and
peering Inte the littie lines and creases
for n moment without speaking. Marie
watched her curiously. Her first
nervousness had lest Itself In Interest.
She almost startled when, quite sud
denly, the woman began te speak In n
low, clear voice.
leu are very young, hut you are
already n wife. Yeu hae married u
man whom you loe devotedly, but be
is Mind ! And because he is blind he
has let your levn waver from him te
the keeping of another. Yeu arc proud !
Yeu haw wrapped jour heart about
with pride, until jeu have stilled Its
besl affections, and persuaded yeuruclf
that you de net care."
Hhe ran her slender fmgct.s along a
faint line at the base of Marie's lingers.
leu stnrtid with dreams alar. I
many dreamn nnd they have fers.iken
you one by one. Hut they will come
back." And ahe laised her dark ejes
suddenly te Marie s pale face. "A
little patio-no nnd they will come back
drcamn no longer, but reality. Yeu were
meant te h a happy wife and mother,
my little Iad.v. but something has In
tervened something has fallen across
your life like a big shadow, anil for u
little the sunshine will be blotted
out. "
She broke off, and for a moment
there wnssllcnte. Then she went en
again, mere slewly: "If you will
alleT jour heart te govern your head
Ttiu can neer go far net ay It Is only
new, when you are trjln te ptlllc nil
that jour heart would taj, that the
shadow k deepen.
She smoothed Marie's hands w'lth her
soft fingers.
"Yeu have money much money,"
she said. "Hut j-eur friends are few.
Yeu are shy, nnd you de net make
friend easily. v There has been
one great moment of danger In your
life I cannot (ell you what It was,
but J can sec the sen in sour hand-

in your life, nnd it cnrilcs en Its besom
tiouule nnd many tears, and "
Sh" looked ngaln into Marie's face.
"Yeu are trembllnc. mademoiselle,'
6he nald In her soft eice.
Marie smiled falntl.
"I was nearly drowned once," she
said. I can noer forget it.
She drewcr hands nwaj. "I ilen"t
think I want te hear any mere," bhe
wild.
She paid double the fee and vcnt te
join Dorethv.
"Well?" Dorethy questioned hardily.
Marie tslmcrrd.
"It was rather eerie." she said.
"Hut I don't believe In It. Shall we
go home?
"What did she say -fe you?" Dor Der Dor
othy nsked as they droe away te
gctlier. "She told ni that I had had
one disappointment in my life which I
should never get exer. ' " She
Inughed. "She wns right, tee! Net
that I belie e in fortune telling."
Marie hardly listened. Hhe was
thinking of the palmist's soft volce nnd
the teu'h of Iter hands ns she hail said:
"I can gee the s,'a In your hand and
again in the future I can see much
water. It will come again In your life.
and it carries en Its besom trouble
and many tears. "
She was net superstitious, but the
words haunted her.
Troubles nnd tears. Surely she had
had eneuch of them.
She wished 3he had net gene te the
bazaar; ahe wished with all her heart
the had net coae te the palmist.
"Yeu started with dreams
alasl se many dreams and they have
forsaken you one by ene. Hut they
will ceme back A littie natlcnce
nnd they will come back; dreams no
lentrer. but reality."
She ant up with a littie determined
lauicli.
"It's all rubbish I don't belleve n
word of it." she told herself. "She
ally said It because she thought it
would plcase me."
"WV're Just living for sinne teu.

mitted thera. "I l.ope you've some

"Mis' Chester Is hating tea new."
the girl answered. "There ls a ladj

Marie Bleed still ruth a llttln shock.
She had quite foigetten that Chris had

Mrs. Ilertet had quite failed te make
