However, we wore a hospitable family, and Aunt Crokei—who was worth half a million—liad declared that if I con tinued to please lier while slie lived 1 should be the heir to her large fortune when she w.as obliged to leave it behind My sister thought much more of this than 1 did myself. 1 was young and wife, who had already known what i1 by no means mercenary,' while wife, who had ali it wa.s to struggle to make the tw o e n d s meet, understood th e value of money. “ W h y c.an’t th e old bine gamp wit! dered into tlie kitchen witli the baby. “Wliy should I have to make an exhi bition of myself? .

Don’t throw away your chances.” On th e whole I tho u g h t I had better not. And as the downfall continued I p n t on my hat, seized th e obnoxious garnp and took my way toward the cliurch which zVunt Croker favored with her presence. I hoped to arrive e.vactly in time to meet my grandaunt at the church porch, but Jane’s clock was fast, as it generally w.as. I had half an hour on my hands, and I determined to oc cupy it in walking about. Accordingly 1 sauntered doivn a side street and i-eaehed a certain station of the elevated railway just .as a train stopped over- head with the usual clang and clatter, and the stream of pas.seiigers came pouring down. The last of the proces sion was a girl in a pink bonnet. I thought, and think still, th.at she was the prettiest little creature that I ever She was a brunette. Her head was beautifully set on her shouldeiu liei figure was perfect. She wore a eos tiime of pink and black th.at was ex tremely bewitching. Her little feet, in wonderful little boots, seemed just ready to dance. Her delicately gloved hands were charming. Her waist w.as not in the least like tlie Venus do Medici's. All sorts of little I riOes swung at lier belt, all sorts of little bangles jingled at her wrists. AVonderfiil pins were thrust through her black hair; jewels glim mered a t th e lobes of her pretty pink tipped ears. It was a cliarm ing pietiire, a t which 1 was u t terly unable to keep myself from g.az- ing with aclmir.atiou as she lingered un der the .shelter of the stair roof. T a k ing from h e r pocket .a tiny lace handkercliief, she made preparations to Clairvoyant JExainiiiatioii.s. Clairvoyant exjiminations free by Dr. E. F.

Suddenly a thought occurred to me. 1 had at least half an horn- to myself, and I had, heaven knew, a large umbrella with me. Could 1 not spend the fiist and use the latter pleasantly and u.sefully by offering to escort this little beauty to her destina tion, which no doubt w.'is close at hand? I was impulsive, .and. as I remarked before. I was young. No sooner thought tlian done tlien. 1 stepped forward, and lifting my h a t said: “Mad.ame, will you permit me?” at the .siiiiie time e.xtending my arm so that the umbrella would keep off the drops from the overhanging roof if she chose to step upon the pavement.

The knowledge gave me ,a little thrQl of consternation. Still, by running all the way back, 1 could get to the church in time—or, at least, I hoped so—and my charmer w.alked briskly. “I was never so .astonished as to find it raining,” said she, “and everything I have on will spoil.

The lower portion of pussie’s body was invisible, owing to its long garment. Noam o u n t of baby talk would soothe poor ruffled “Kitty,” and the nurse was rewarded for lier endeavors to quiet it by receiving scratches from lier unruly charge.
