Fortune-Telling Generation Ago.

On one occasion my mother consented to
accompany her cousin Bella Cox to fash
ionable fortune-teller, then making a great
stir in London. They went in a coach suf-
ficiently disguised to prevent recognition
and on reaching the sibyPs dwelling were
ushered into mysterious chamber. The
walls were draped with dark hangings. on
a center table, covered with a dark cloth,
lay a white wand and from beneath the
table issued, as if it had been the familiar
spirit of the place, large black cat. The
door of an inner room slowly opened, and
tall woman of a grave, almost severe as
pect. attired in black velvet, entered. and
without word fixed her eyes steadfastlv
and penetrahngly on them. According to
agreement my mother first presented her
hand. This the sibyl taking in hers. ey-
amined carefully then said in measured
accents: You will not marry your present
lover. You will change your religion and
marry another" On Bella Cox next COM

and. Immediately raising her eyes from il,
demanded sternly: Where is your we'd
ding ring? She then added solemnly ::
" You have done the worst days work YOU

the interview, proved only too true Bella

Robert Wilson, young Lieutenant, who
had been sent, as it seemed to her. by Prov

street mob, in which she suddenly found
herself involved. He accompanied her
back to the Coxes, and was greatly liked
by them. He continued his visits and paw

with the understanding theNweFe to meet

MAUD S. vs.. HER REcoPD-The editor of
Itgf, Field aud Farm in the last issue of
that paper says; Maud S. is now at
Providence, taking moderate work on
Narragansett Park. Mr.. Bonner has re-
ceived great many letters from gentle
men whom he would like to oblige, asking
him to send the mare TO this and that
place for exhibition. but as he wishes to
prepare the Queen to go against her own
record of 2:0S4, consent is manifestly i'm
possible. The only time Maud S. has
really been strung out this season was in
the fast mile al Cleveland, and as the track
was slow on that occasion, her owner en-
tertains the opinion advanced by experts
that she is capable of greater things than
have yet been accomplished. The Queen
will remain at Providence for about three
weeks, and she will be handled with a
view to obtaining the full measure of her
speed"
