greeted my ear. and I turned 70 ~
the smiling face Of Mr.. Jackson.
With a laughing negative I VA
about to pass on when he looked q
his watch and declared that I had lost
my car, and as I had q full hour "a
wait invited me to take supper with
him at q popular restaurant not far
on. We had a lively chat over q dainty
repast and time passed unnoted until
Mr.. Jackson remarked that as 1t Was
so late II it was agreeable to me he
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
stihed my feeling that possibly Dear
Nan" might object, Thine forever.
Fred" taking another girl to an en-
tertainment.
This was but the beginning Of q de-
lightful acquaintance. At first I would
make some passing remark about Miss
Shaw and she occasionally made one
OF the party when We passed an even
ing together. but gradually We ceased
to miss her. Once I 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 l learned that Mr.. Jackson was
Armies half brother, both having had
the same mother. Fred was ten years
older than his sister and as they were
orphans, had been made her guardian.
An intense affection for his mother
led him to be very tender Of her
youngest child.
1t was somewhat strange to me to
note the intense relief that this ex-
PLANTATION gave me. 1t 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 friend at the church
and l was to go home with her and
spend the holiday.
What Fred thought of the expression
on my face as I realized that my absurd
jealousy of Annie was without founda-
ton, was sson to learn. As glanced
at him I 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 is answered. love you 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 it, for
know now that you love me?"
Fred blesses that cloak which first
made us acquainted and although
have a handsome sealskin now, will
rot consent to parting with 1t. He
looks over my shoulder as write and
says that I should have called this
story my Fortunate Cloak" since II
brought me a husband. Men are 50
conceited.

I felt In another pocket to ind my own
and was surprised to discover a letter
enclosing a photograph Of a young
man. who, to my mind, was decidedly
good looking.
Frank glanced at it and remarked
that he was not aware that had such
handsome friend. With just bit OF
vexation apparent, I told him about
my cloak and the story Of the sales
woman.
Then it must be that the lady from
Denver is visiting Boston and has a
penchant for the theater ALSO" he re-
marked with smile.
Hoping to discover a clue to the
owner of the cloak SO as to return the
mittens. the cloaks were exact coun-
terparts and equally new. read the
letter. which was addressed to Miss
Annie Shaw. Scotia. N. Y. 1t began.
Dear Man," and ended Ever thine.
Fred" It was brimful Of nonsense,
but contained nothing to indicate the
relationship of the parties. l immedl-
ately concluded that they must be low
ers.
"A fair exchange is no robbery, 1t
is said. SO as the principal point OF
difference in the property was in the
mittens, I made no effort to find Miss
Shaw, convinced that she was but
visitor to the city and that could not
trace her through the directory.

70 Ranchins and Mixed Farming.
Calgary. Alberta, Nov 4, 1888.

Minnesota, can cheerfully say this;
country is better for poor man than
Minnesota II he wants to farm and
raise stock. have spent one winter
and two summers here, which find
more pleasant than any winter have
seen In Minnesota for eight years. The
seasons are short, but the effect of
long days Of bright sunshine produces
q very rapid growth of vegetation.
There is good money in raising coarse
grains and feeding to hogs and cattle,
for pork and beef always bring good
price here. Hogs are worth from 81
to $3.50 live weight per cwt., and beef
about the same. There is plenty of
railroad land to be had very cheap and
on longtime payments. A man does
not want to think he can pick up mon
ey on the ground here, but there is lots
of it in the ground, and labor will take
It out. There is vast scope of coun-
try north of Edmonton, Alberta, which
can be settled, and a large scope of
country west of Edmonton adapted to
ranching and mixed farming. This
country is the best place / have ever
seen for the cure of consumption. l
could refer you to different people here
who were in the last stages of con-
sumption, who are now in perfect
health and able to do any kind of hard
work and are very prosperous. Hoping
this may benefit home-seekers who are
willing to work for an honest living,
I remain, yours very truly,

"Cloaks? Yes, madam" a dubious
compliment to the maturity of my ap-
pearance: will you have a fur circu-
lar? Here is one of the best silk with
mink lining, only one hundred and
twenty-five dollars"
Feeling very humble, I made known
the fact that 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
y made her comprehend that twenty
I've dollars was my limit. This is a
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"
I 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
truth poverty has its stings, doubt
il l was really grateful for the cloak
that l was able to possess as thought
of the more beautiful one, which I
wanted so badly.
My new cloak was like charity, in
asmuch as that it 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 a 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-reliance 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 a small income for mother,
brother and I having renounced our
claims thereto. Frank urged US both
to make our home with his family, but
l did not want to. Mother being able
to pay a 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.
1t was very stern discipline for me to
go directly from a fine home into the
struggle Of life, especially as had no
idea how I could turn my talents, en-
tirely unframed, into money. am
sure that were it possible for my father
to be conscious of my trials, he would
share my sufferings and bitterly re-
greet that I had not been educated to a
regular business.
Embroidery, in which I was skilled,
offered small compensation, but 1
thankfully accepted it and at last
learned to do acceptable work, and for
my own trade. so that I felt measur-
ably Independent.
