WINNIE'S FORTUNE.

The handsome dining-room in the
May berry mansion was all a-glitter with
floods of gas-hght and the genial glow
of the iire-for Mr.. Josiah Mayberry
was very "queer man." according TO
his wife's opinion, and this fancy of his
to have nasty. ashy fires all over the

married her Tor her pretty face, tel
years ago, when he was an immensely
rich widower with his handsome half
grown son for not undesirable encam-
brance.
They were sitting around the hand
some table, discussing their z O'Clock

subordinate in silent, obsequious stten-
ton-these three May berrys, father,
son, and the naughty, well dressed lady

displeasure on Ter face-a frown she
had barely power to restrain from de-
generating into verbal expression of
anger while the servants were in wait

closed on them, leaving the little party
alone over the wine and nuts, burst
forth impetuously:

bad! have gone over the list OF IN
vitat;ons you have made, and to think
there is net one-no, not one-of our
set among them, and such horrid lot
of people IS you have named!"
Mr.. Mayberry slipped his wine con-
tentedly.

"Grandpa!"
Winnie's voice was so low that Mr..
Wilmington only just heard 1t, and
when ne looked up he saw the girls
crimson cheeks and her lovely, droop-
ing face.
ayes, Winnie. You want to tell me
something?"
She went up behind him, and leaned
her hot cheek caressingly against his,
her sweet, low voice whispering her
answer
Grandpa, want to tell you some
thing. Mr.. May-we-Ernest has
asked-he wants me to-oh, grandpa,
can't you tell what it is?''
He felt her cheek grow hotter against
his.
He reached up his hand and caressed
the other one.
"Yes, can tell, dear. Ernest has
shown his uncommon good sense by
wanting you for his wife. So this is
what comes of that dinner, eh, Win
nie?"
"lnd may tell him you are willing,
perfectly willing, grandpa? Because
do love him, you know"
Sand you are sure it isn't his money
you are after, eh?'
She did not take umbrage at the sharp
question.

money he is after, grandpa" she re-
turned, laughing and patting his cheek.

there, hear the young man coming
himself. Shall go, Winnie?"
1t was the "young man himself, )"
Ernest Mayberry, with a shadow of
deep trouble and distress on his face as
he came straight up to Winnie and
took her hand, then turned to the old
gentleman.
"Until an hour ago l thought this
would be the proudest, happiest hour
of my life, sir, for should have asked
YOU TO give me Winnie for my wife.
Instead, must be content to only tell
yos how dearly l love her, and how pa
tiently and hard will work for her to
give her the home which she deserves
because, Mr.. Wilmington, this morn
ing the house of Mayberry & Thurston
failed, and both families are beggars. :"
His handsome face was pale, but his
eyes were bright with determination
and braveness nothing could daunt.
Winnie smiled back upon him, her
own cheeks paling.
"Never mind, Ernest, on my account.

Old Mr. Wilmington's eyes were al

"Gone up, Ell? Well, that's too

had happened, because l believe you
can earn bread and butter for both of
you, and my Winnie is contented lit

and see your father; he and l were
boys together; a word of sympathy
won't come amiss from me-"
And off he strobe, leaving the lovers
alone, getting over the distance in a re-
markable time, and presenting his
wrinkled, weather-beaten old face in
Mayberry & Tburston's private office,
where Mr.. Msyberry- sat alone, with
rigid face and keen, troubled eyes, That,
nevertheless, lighted at the sight of his
old friend.
"i'm glad to see you, Wilmington.
Sit down. The sight of man who has
not come to reproach me is a comfort. :"
But Mr.. Wilmington did not sit down
He crossed the room to the table at
which Mr.. Mayberry sat among a hope
