Fortune1o Telling. -: 0 : 'A sil ver penny, pretty, to cross m y palm and I'll read your fortune past, present and future.' Kitty Eldon could not repress a little hys teric.Al scream as the tall, ungainly figure of the swarthy gipsy suddenly darkened the cottage door with a shadow that fell like a blight. The liquid gold of sunset was melt ing into the warm purple that be. longs to tropical climes, the linden trees were lottly swaying in the eve ning breeze, and the evening star rode high above the tinted horizon like a beacon ship far out at sea. 'My fortune is told, good woman,' she said, gently, as she recovered something like self-porsession. 'The past is sad enough, and I have no wish to know the future !' 'Lt e tell it agaio,' replied the dark sighly, drawing her ied cloak closer round her brown visage. 'ID) you see the silver writing of the star., up in heaven ? I can read them as if they were the leaves olan open book. I tan trace your desiny in the lines upon tht palm of your lintd. Stil I litty shook her head. 'Let her tell it, Kit'y, please,' coaxed wilful little Emily Sherman, who was sitting on the low door-step beside her friend, with a tangie of ivory knitting'nee'lles and fancy wools in her lap. 'D,' It is such a romtan. tic thing ty have your fortune told by a real wanidring gipsy. Will you tell -miie, old votnan ' But the fortune -toller shook her head. "My destiny poits only to one,' she nayseriouly-'to one with yellow hair, antd etyes as blue as yonder sky.' Emily gave her jetty curls a .outih little toss. 'Why eouldn't I have been a blonde I Dear Kitty, please let her tell you somnething delightfully misty and inp-o.,sible !' Kitty's smile died way into a sigb. 'Emily, is it possible that you lhave an atom of faith in this jtrgon of as. trology and palmistry ?' The gipsy bent lov o\ei- 1itty's fair curls, and said, in low measured to:)es. 'Two years ago, the gleam of a golden engagement ring, and part(eg words at this very cottage door-one year ago, hair as black as a raven's wing, lying anor.g the sea sand where the shells shine like gold upon tie floor of the great deep !

Thln gipsy stood, tall and immova ble, like a pillar of dat knet-s, again.t thbe warm put-ple glow of the accid en tal sky. 'Anmd,' went on IEmily, with her 'voice trembling, anid her color chang ing with the vohemenee with whioi: she pleaded her friend's cause, "she is the sweetest, beat, noblest, most nonstant of created beings. And If the stars tell anything else, the stars are false I' 8lhe was silent an instant, and then with a sudden brilliancy flashing over her rosy, impulsive, she continued in the samte eager tones.

It was considerable time before I 0ould make the people comply with this measure, although flotm seeing the good effect produced, they arter wards practiced it twice a day of their own aocord. To this discovery [ may with justice attribute the preser vation of my own life and six other pesom, who must havo perimhed if it had not been put in use.
