THE child Agatha counted butlooa, nnd by so doing became the un- conncioua arbiter of a di-atiny. The ytnre of Agatha, life were aa many an wera the fingers on one of her plump hands, and during this short time she bad always been a teller ot fortunes, doting out husbands to such as were the happy ponsvssors of but tons. For those poor creatures who had yielded to a mandate from far-oil Pnris. snd accented hooks and eves as gown-fastenings, Agatha could" do nothing not the ghost or a husband could she conjure up without the help of her little round allies. Had you not a single on In sight you were doomed to splnoterhood. but if one just one could be found among the folds of your draperies, you were saved, and Agathn's fnt fore finger would be laid upon It, while tier shrill little voice would announce tri umphantly: "Klch maul" looking into your eyes to find a reflection of the joy in her own dancing blue ones at having so se.'sfnctorily thanks to the button settled your fortune. The result of a two-button fortune she nlways announced with a falling in flection, and the corners of her mouth would droop in copy of the expresaion she hnd seen on older faces whe-n "poor man" was found to be their portion. At "beggar man" her voice invariably grew snd aud low, and if you were fool ish enough to display four buttons, the chubby linger would touch the fatnllone mournfully, while a pitying voice would murmur, as she shook her golden curls, "thief," begging your pardon for the cruel truth; but again happy smiles would chnae away the: sadness If doctor, lawyer, merchant' or chief fell to your lot. Two, three and four were the only fortunes that troubled the little lady. Oh, but it was a thrilling game to piny I It wob a grief to the child Agatha that so seldom could she in dulge in It, owing to the disappearance of buttons from the feminin horizon. But now und again it would chance thut some one great enough to resist the deeret of fashion would drift her way und display the longed-for fns tenings. To suoh a one Agatha would turn with screnma of delight, while the ohubby hands would t ouch the but tons lovingly, nnd the childish voice ring out in words of prophecy. ' It was a' matinee day nt the opera house, and an enthusiastic throng was Kurging through the entrnnco gntc, at tracted by Mine. Cnlve ns "Cnrmen." The house wus crowded to the doors, nnd when tho curtain ros'o on tho Sevllln Square there was not a vacant seat to be hnd, nnd scarcely nn unfilled box. No. 11 grand tier, however, wns empty, nnd ninny of those standing turned envious eyes up to its comfort able sen Is. Vor n mntlneo thenudiencu wns brilliant, nnd one could see ninny well-known fnees from the"smnrt set" ns well ns th suburban Kent holders nnd real music lovers. Functions of every sort had been sacrificed for the Idol of the hour, the cinr?lte girl, "Carmen," and the house wns guy with handsome women and resplendent cos tumes, In several boxes of the grand tier there were children, and one framed a pretty, much-noticed picture. In It sat gnldrn-halrcd Agathn and her blue eyed brother. Arms around i nch oth er they sat, fresh nnd clnlnty and sweet, unconscious of everything ex cept the bewilderment of color and sound on the stage, The. box adjoin ing that In which the children sat was No. II, and was unoccupied until the Intermission between the second and third acis, when a young woman en tered It. Bhe was alone, and seated herself with such an air of languid In difference to operas In general and to "Carmen" in particular that one won dered for what reason she chose to lend her presence to the scene. Hhs did not even raise her lorgnet and weep the house with an inventorying glance. Many glasses, however, were leveled at her. Even in tbe family circle there was a murmur of recog nition. ' Sydenham Willoughby's laughter was familiar to all classes of society, for reporters heralded her do ings and printed her portrait when there was the slightest excuse for it and often when there was none, be cause she was a beauty as well as an heiress. Leaning back in her seat she was a ravllng vision. Her black vel vet costume wus in sharp contrast to the ivo'ry-wblteness of her sitin, and there was an unusual charm in her expression and muiinvr, which her air of unconcern heightened. The curtnin rose. There was twi light and fire-glow in the smuggler's stronghold. The audience drew quiet breaths while the strains of the ex quisite prelude sounded. Klinore Wil loughby looked on as one who, seeing, sees not, and having ears, hturs not. Bhe hud not C: if ted to the opera house thut day, nor ye t had she come to hear "Carmen" for the twentieth time. Each motif and action she could an ticipate, but for her there was no motive of any iiiiportai.ee except that which wus the key to her own personal aflulr. The singers might bavebeen puppets, might huve left the stage, the audience might have dispersed and she would scarcely have token note of it. She only suw before her those scenes which for many days had been Ailing h-r n.intul vixion. ' She bnd come to the opera for free dom; to think, to decide; to avoid questioning eyes and jtstlng voices, for her world wus waiting breathless to hear the truth. The solitude of her own room wns oppressive the craved the nloneness that only n crowd can . give. To come to a decirion why should she? Life was pure pleasure as it hnd been why must it change? SUe wns possessed with a -fee'.ing of profound irritation thnt ail the po tentialities of wealth and beauty which before hnd shielded ber from every annoyance now availed nothing. Decision could not be bought not put aside on nny pretext. What should she do? Which should It be? Pros and cons presented themselves in quick succession. Moods as varying as the colors'in a bubble claimed her for their own. What should she do? In the stage twilight Mercedes and Frnsquita shuffled cards and read their destinies in clear tones. To Klinore the recitatjve brought only the fumil lar voice of one in her mind-picture; 'L'uomo che amared nmaro!" ("Kim I TMdd is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm.

Before Elinore there stood a form, young and strong and masterful, with a proud joy in smile and gesture. There was I moonlight the dash of waves over the rocks a woman's promise given. J Un amor dl Carmen non pua durar!" ("Carmen n's love does not lust"). 1 Quickly EHnore's first mind-picture gave plnce to a more brilliant one, and in it she was central figure against a background of the luxuries she loved. She Baw a retinue of attendants, thor oughbred horses, rare jewels, houses and lands and beside her small, bent and inslgnificnnt the master of it all. With nervous restlessness she changed her position, feeling that emotion was overmastering the voice of calm rea son. The curtain fell on the twilight scene, the lights flushed high again. Elinore drew herself up in dignified erectnesa as if to defy the weakness that was enticing her, and spoke with in herself. ... "It is right and beat. - The other would be madness. I should be nn hap ," but even the thought shrank back unfinished in the presence of, a great truth. Hush! the first violin the haunting, thrilling Toreador mu sic! Over her nature swept a second wave of stern rescdve. And yet the eternal feminine still asserted itself,. Resolved irresolute; firm, undecided Elinore paused, for one. recapitulat ing moment before the irrevocable amen of her choice should be said. In the adjoining box a plainly- gowned woman hnd entered, was seat ing herself with the children, beside golden-haired Agutha. Turning to her with a quick scream of joy, Agatha s chubby finger slid down the front of the plain black waist, from one button, to another, while the sweet, shrill' voice rang out: "Rich man! Poor man I Oh, auntie, auntie, it's poor manl" Everyone who saw, and heard, and understood, smiled; some who had counted buttons in a long gone child hood, sighed; but the person who sat alone in No. 11 grand tier neither smiled nor sighed. Turning startled eyes upon fhe little fortune .teller, Elinore Willoughby's resolve gave way before the sacred featherweight of omen to which her heart was ready to respond. The child Agatha counted buttons, and by so doing became the uncon scious arbiter of a destiny. heform at naffalo. . .
