Buying a Good Fortune.

Four little green birds sat on cage
fronted with tray. The tray held
folded slips of paper. A man carried
the whole. He strolled east in Grand
street, near Mulberry. A woman,
swarthy of complexion and with a
shawl drawn around her head and
shoulders. looked at the birds and
hesitated in her walk The man, keen
to notice any indication of trade, saw
her hesitancy.
Fortune, LADY," he asked.
The woman stopped and passed a
coin to his hand. He lifted a bird from
its perch and placed it on the edge OF
the tray. The bird picked up a folded
slip of paper. The man took the paper
and handed it to the woman. The
woman opened it, read, smiled, and
passed on. The man nodded approx
ingly. 49,
Gave her a good fortune, did you?
asked a man standing by.
Sure" said the man with the birds
"All the fortunes are good. Birds tell
no bad fortunes"
Then he smiled wisely.-New York

but in the most direct and swiftest
way in his power had Edward Frank
lin come. Strong. eager, masterful,
scorning the blazing sun, his reckless
waste of energy marked him as a
stranger in that place. He stopped
at the gateway for one moment, look
ing up the path, and then turned swift
ly toward the car as though called
audibly.
AS with a flash his face lighted, and
he strobe straight on toward woman
whose heart was throbbing in a sud
den tumultuous terror. She saw him
stoop at the car door, even as once
before she had seen him enter at
another lowly door, in another and
far-off land. She felt again the fear
which then she half admitted But
in a moment Mary Ellen knew that all
fear and all resistance were too late.
The eyes of Franklin, direct, as
sured. almost sad, asked her no ques-
ton. but only said, Here am l." And
Mary Ellen knew that she could no
longer make denial or delay. Her
thoughts came rapid and confused;
her eyes swan; her heart beat fast.
Afar she heard the singing of mock
er in the oaks, throbbing, thrilling
high and sweet as though his heart
would break with what he had to say.
Judge Wilson and DR.. Gregg polite
" removed their hats as Franklin
entered the car and addressed Mary
Ellen. Confused by the abruptness of
il all, it was a moment before she rec
ognized local requirements, and pre-
sented Franklin to the gentlemen.
For an instant she planned fight, es'
cape. She would have begged Frank
lin to return with her. Fate in the
form of the driver had its way. Git

of the car. There was a double groan.

wheels began slowly to revolve.

ted Franklin under the rumble of the
wheels. 81 couldn't get a carriage and
hadn't any horse. There wasn't any

1t is only to be said that both judge
and doctor were gentlemen, and Loyal
to beauty in distress. They both
earned Mary Ellen's love. for they got
of eight blocks sooner than they
should have done, and walked more
than half a mile in the sun before they
found a place Of rest.

"Yessah, seems like" said the driv-
err, his head again falling.
In perhaps five or ten minutes, per-
haps half an hour, there would be
heard the tapping of another cane
and DR.. Gregg, also tall, not quite So
portly, and wearing white beaver IN
stead of a soft Panama, would appear
from the opening of yet another side
street tributary to the car.
Good mawnin', James" said the
doctor as he passed; and the driver
answered respectfully.

"Well, yessah, may be a leetle

"Verv well, Doctah, sab, thank you,

So the Judge and the doctor sat
down in the car, and conversed, easily
and in no haste, perhaps for five or
ten minutes. perhaps for half an hour.
Now and then the driver cast glance
out of the side of his eye over toward
the lion-headed gates, but no one was
uneasy or anxious. The mules were

vet really very happy within their
souls.

Judge and doctor and driver now
turned their gaze beyond the lion

that passed among the trees up to the
old mansion house. Far of, through
the great columns of the trees, there
might indeed this morning now be
seen the flutter Of a gown of white

with her aunt. And then Mary Ellen
deliberately tying the strings of her
bonnet under her chin, turned, answer
ing her aunt's summons for replevin
of a forgotten fan. Then, slowly
calmly, the gown of white became
more distinct as she came nearer, her
tall figure composing well with the set
ting of this scene. For her patiently
waited the judge and the doctor and
the driver.
Good mawnin', Miss Beecham,
said the driver as she passed, touch
ing his hat and infusing more stiff
ness into his spine.
Good morning, sir" she replied
pleasantly.
"Uh-ah, good mawnin', Miss Beech
am. good mawnin'," said Judge Will
son: and Good mawnin'," said Dr.
Gregg.
Good morning, Judge Wilson, re-
piled Mary Ellen, as she entered the
car. Good morning, DR.. Gregg" Thc
gentlemen made way for her upon
the shady side of the car, and lifted
their hats tremendously.

no trace of resentment in his tones.
DR.. Gregg upon this morning began
his customary reproach also, but II
halted upon his tongue. Miss Beech

For Mary Ellen, settling herself fol
her regular morning ride with her reg
ular companions, all at once went
pale as she gazed out Of the window
She scarcely heard the kind remark
She was looking at mana tall man
with a brown face, with broad shout
ders, with a long, swinging, steady
stride. This man was coming up the
side of the street, along the path be
tween the fences and the burdocks
that lined the ditch. His shoes were
white with the limstone dust, but he
seemed to care nothing for his way
of locomotion, but reached on, his heat
up, his eye searching eagerly.

CHAPTER xxvIII.-continued.

One morning the little street car
stood, as was it's wont, at the terminus
of the track, near the front of the wide
grounds of the old mansion house.
This was far out upon the edge of the
little city, and few were the patrons
that might be expected; but it was
held but mere courtesy to offer the
services of the street car line to this
family, so long recognized as one OF
the unimpeachably best of this South
ern city. This modern innovation or
the street car was not readily taken
up by the conservative community,
and though it had been established for
some years, it might be questioned
whether its shares had ever paid much
interest upon their face value.
At this terminus of the line at the
outskirts of the town there was each
morning enacted the same little scene.
The driver slowly unhitched his mules
and turned them about to the other
end of the car, in readiness for the re-
turn journey. Matters having pro-
crossed this far, the mules fell at
once into a deep state of detection
and somnolence, their ears looping
down, their bodies dropping and mo-
tionless, save as now and then faint
swish of tail or wag of weary ear
bespoke the knowledge of some bold,
marauding fly. The driver, perched on
his seat, his feet upon the rail, his
knees pushed toward his chin, sat with
his broad hat drawn down upon his
forehead, his hands clasped between
his legs, and all his attitude indicative
of rest.
Presently from a side street, faced
by large brick dwelling, there came
with regular and unhurried tread tall
and dignified figure, crowned with a
soft Panama, and tapping with Off
cial cane. AS it approached the car
the driver Strengthened trifle on the
seat.
Good mawnin,', Judge Wilson," he
said.
"Uh-ah, good mawnin', James," re-
piled the judge. "Uh-ah, Doctah
Gregg lii late this mawnin', eh?'
