SHE WAS
A Fortune Te1ler's Old News Not Worth
the Price.

A Fortune TeIler's Old News Not Worth
the Price.
The lady who entered the apartments of
the fortune teller shortly before noon had
red hair and an air of reserve force that
was very striking. It was evident that the
business on hand was of the deepest mo-
ment to her, inasmuch as her eyes had a
fixed expression and her thin lips were
firmly set.
Reveal to me" she loftily directed, my
future"
The fortune teller darted a swift glance
into the strong face before her and bent
attentively over the outstretched palm.
'It is very plain" she quietly abserved,
"you will be married twice."
The brow beneath the clustering auburn
| curls contracted in a frown.
Eyes" the clairvoyant continued, 'there
is a distinct break in the line of hymen.
You are destined to bless two men with
your wifely love-"
"Two?"
The red haired lady's tone was har1 and
i~ncisive, suggesting a trace of skepticism.
"Ah, yes. The first husband will die
under sad circumstances, but you will be
consoled and made happy in the devotion
of the second"
1t seemed as if the ruddy tress which
had escaped frc,n the elaborate couture
and depended witchingly beside the she'll
like ear was trembling, but it might have
been the play of dancing sunlight.
"But l will make sure"
"Do So"
The red haired lady watched with un-
feigned eagerness while the fortune teller
consulted a horoscope and a pack of cards.
Gas | thought. The fates have spoken.
You will marry twice"
The red haired lady breathed hard.
"All nave their SORROWS" gently sug,
gested the clairvoyant.
The red haired lady bit her finger nail.
Zone dollar, please"
"Hey?"
"One dollar"
mot by a joyful"
AS the red haired lady rose from her seat
majesty.
Zone dollar, indeed! Well, l guess not.
Do yon think Icame here to pay a dollar
for a lot of old information? Two hus-
bands! The idea! Why, l myself know
of more than that without anybody telling
me. Yes, ma'am. You might be inter-
ested to learn that | buried my fourth
husband as long as six weeks ago. Mar
ried twice! Why don't you try to tell peo-
pie something they don't know already?
You make me drowsy. You ought to have
lived ten years ago. You're away behind
the times"
The sunlight kept right along dancing,
but the red haired lady was gone like a
dream that has fied.-Detroit Tribune.

had walked out upon the trunk
Of a fallen tree and cast so as to be
clear of its entangling twigs, when,
hearing a succession of short sneezes,
and turning in the direction whence
the sounds issued, l observed a full
grown boy, barefooted and coatless,
engaged in fishing from the rock
ledge a short distance from me. The
point I had reached through thicket
and brier was a wild, unfrequented
bend of the stream, where no sign of
life had been visible, except here and
there the quick, restless fit. of a bird
and the playful antics of a young
squirrel, as he ambled along the zig
gag lines of a rail fence on the oppo-
site bank. 1 was therefore pleas
antly surprised in having my soil
tude broken upon by a human com-
panion so Unexpectedly near, and de-
cided to learn to know him. I there
upon accosted him:
Good morning, young man." I
ventured.
"Mornin, mister" he answered
pleasantly.
Your name isn't Wilkinson, is it,"
"Nope, it's Brill. I'm Lie Brill"
"Well," I replied, Brill is a better
name than Wilkinson; at least, it is
more easily spoken, because there is
less of it. How are they biting your
way, Elijah?"
"Only middlin peart. I've got a
few bass and some google eye and a
bachelor or two," he said, as he
raised a tempting string that made
me envious and anxious to own it for
the sake of my reputation and the
encouragement of our Responding
commissariat of the camp; but" he
continued, I'm not fishin, mister
You see, pap, he sent me to town to
fetch a new beam for the plow, and
when I got to the cattle path as
winds through the timber to the
crick, I jest materially somehow
couldn't get past it. and lowed pap
might wait while I dropped a line in
and rested up a spell. This is not one
of my regular days to fish. Only hap
pened to be on my way to town in
somethin of a hurry to get that drat.

''Well-pap's waitin for it. He
likes to wait, mister, pap does. He
can't plow till I get back, but he'll
sit around under the shady end of
the tool shed and wait and whittle
and white and wait. But l must
be goin, mister. Ma, she'll skin me
whole, I do reckon. She's the one as
wants the beam to get there"
Il see how it is, 'Lijah," l inter
posed; your ma runs the tavern, as
it were, and your pa is the head

That's the idee. You've got it,
