"Cloaks2 Yes, madam" o dubious
compliment to the maturity of my ap-
pearance; "Wlll you have a fur circu-
lar? Here is one Of the best silk with
a mink lining, only one hundred and
twenty-five dollars"
Feeling very humble, made known
the fact that q cloth cloak was what /
was seeking. and the young woman led
the way TO another department.
Nov here is one that / can fully
recommend" she said after had final
ly made her comprehend that twenty
lve dollars was my limit. "This is n
pattern cloak, and but two Of them
were imported, the other was sent to
Denver. We only use them for sugges-
tions, never copying exactly. so you
need not be afraid Of having common
garment"
confess that the last argument was
conclusive, as despised the ready
made garments which were sold by the
hundreds exactly alike, making class
Of buyers look as though they were In
uniform. Turning regretfully away
from the handsomer garments, pur-
chased the cheaper one, the sole speci-
men OF its style. Feeling that Of a

II was really grateful for the cloak
that was able to possess as / thought
OF the more beautiful one, which l
wanted 80 badly.
My new cloak was like charity, In
asmuch as that II would cover many
sins In the way of shabby dresses, and
enable me to make quite a respectable
appearance despite my too obtrusive
poverty, for l was but working
woman.
My dear father little thought of the
sorrow in store for his petted daughter
when he so tenderly provided for her
every want and would not permit her
to learn self-rellance or any means OF
support When he passed away, about
four years prior to the opening OF my
story, the little property that was left
after all was settled up. simply pro-
vided q small income for mother,
brother and l having renounced our
claims thereto. Frank urged us both
to make our home with his family, but
] did not want to. Mother being able
to pay small sum for board was very
happy with her children and grand
children and / sought to earn my liv-
Ing in Boston forty miles distant from
the family.
II was very stern discipline for me to
90 directly from a fine home into the
struggle of life, especially as / had no
idea how / could turn my talents, en-
tlrely unframed, into money. / am
sure that were 1t possible for my father
to be conscious Of my trials, he would
share my sufferings and bitterly re-
gret that l had not been educated to a
regular business.
Embroidery, In which I was skilled,
offered small compensation. but l
thankfully accepted 1t and at last
learned to do acceptable work, and for

and was surprised TO discover a letter
enclosing q photograph Of a young
man, who, TO my mind. was decidedly
good looking.
Frank glanced at II and remarked
that he was not aware that had such
handsome friend. With Just q bit OF
vexation apparent, told him about
my cloak and the story Of the Gales
woman.
"Then II must be that the lady from
Denver is visiting Boston and has a
penchant for the theater also" he re-
marked with a smile.
Hoping TO discover a clue TO the
owner Of the cloak 80 as TO return the

terparts and equally new, read the

With a laughing negative was
about TO pasa on when no looked at
his watch and declared that had lost
my car, and 40 | had n full hour to
walt Invited me to take supper with
him at popular restaurant not far
on. We had a lively chat over dainty
repast and time passed unnoted until
Mr.. Jackson remarked that as II was
80 late II II was agreeable to mo hO
would be happy to escort me to zee
Booth and Barrett who were starring
together at that time. Such q treat
was not to be lightly passed by and
stlhed my feeling that possibly Dear
Nan" might object, "Thine forever,
Fred" taking another girl To an en-
tertainment.
This was but the beginning Of de-
lightful acquaintance. At nrst / would
mako some passing remark about Miss
Shaw and she occaaionaly made one
OF the party when We passed an even-
Ing together, but gradually We ceased
to miss her. Once / taxed him with
neglecting her, when he calmly re-
piled that she had Tilted him, saying
that she was like most girls who did
not care for attentions from their own
brothers when some other girls
brother was around. Quite to my sur
prise / learned that Mr.. Jackson was
Annie's half brother, both having had
the same mother, Fred was ton years
older than his sister and az they were
orphans, had been made her guardian,
An intense affection for his mother
led him to be very tender Of her
youngest child.
II was somewhat strange to me to
note the intense relief that this OK
planation gave me. II was New Years
eve and we were going to the service
the next day, He had been passing
the evening with me. We were TO
meet Annie and a friend at the church
and was to go home with her and
spend the holiday,
What Fred thought OF the expression
on my face as realized that my absurd
jealousy OF Annie was without foundA-
tion, / was sOon to learn. As I glanced
at him l caught look Of puzzled sur
prise and then he seized both my
hands in his as he drew me to him.
"And SO you were Jealous Of my
little sister," he said, "Ah, Nellie, my
darling, the question that dared not
ask ia answered. love yeu dearly and
have been getting up my courage TO
ask for that greatest New Years gift
that you can give, your own sweet self
to be my bride. May claim II, for /
know now that you love met"
Fred blesses that cloak which first
made us acquainted and although
have q handsome sealskin now, will
not consent to parting with It. He
looks over my shoulder as / write and
says that / should have called this
story my Fortunate Cloak" since II
brought me a husband. Men ara so
