IO K T lS ilT E I J A X G .
By Mary Kyle Dallas.
One day Mrs. Lorrimer’s only daughter,
Violette, was nowhere to be found, neith­
er was the gentleman, Senor Espanol,
who taught the guitar. The whole city
was alarmed by an account of the myste­
rious disappearance of a beautiful belle
and a hard-working, gentlemanly young
foreigner. However, when some one had
discovered that the last gave lessons to
the first, an inference was drawn by
some cool looker-on.
“ May they not have gone of together ?”
The mother at once drove the slanderer
from her presence, prefering the idea that
her Violette was murdered. However,be­
fore long a penitent letter, all blotted
with tears, reached the poor old lady, all
alone in her great Fifth avenue mansion.
Violette was married to Senor Espanol.
The more one loves a person the more fu­
rious does any deception on her part
make one. A less loving mother might
have forgiven. Stung to madness this
one wrote a terrible letter to the foolish
girl who had so hurt her.
The husband, a hot Spaniard, read it. It
insulted him, and h§ forbade his "wife to
see her parent again. To do him justice,
love, and no mercenary motive, had led
him to elope wilh his pretty heiress.
So the gulf was fixed between the only
two of the same blood who lived on earth,
and Senor Espanoi began to give lessens
on thog’Jitar for two instead of one. Then
for three, then for four, then for four, then
for five. If he had lived a lived a little
longer it would have been for six. But the
day the four.h child was born a country­
man, who mistook him for a rival, stab­
bed him in the back. He apologized at
length the next minute, but the poor vie
tim did not live to hear him through, but
died trying to express the fact that the
gentleman was perfectly excusable.
And so Violette, who would have been
very happy wffih her music master had he
been less jealous, was left a widow with
four babies, no money, and no accom­
plishment that had been sufficiently cul­
tivated to earn a living by. Of course she
took in sewing, and of course a day came
when there was very small prospect of
supper, and not even a dream of break­
fast.
•
Not a penny in the house, not a loaf of
bread in tire closet, not a dollar’s worth of
work to be got anywhere, vvliat was she to
d o ? The poor little woman walked up
and down, and cried. That did not help
her. She looked over the relics of ihe
past. They were pretty pieces of jewelry
worth nothing. Valuable things had all
b.-cn sold long ago. She glanced out of
the window. A woman, with a very large
bran-new basket and no shoes, went beg­
ging from door to door.
The basket was worth two dollars and a
half, the shoes could have been bought
for two. 'this singular circumstance
preyed upon her mind. She began to take
an interest in the ways and manners of
beggars, as the awful expectation of be­
coming one began to haunt her.
“ I could drown myself,” she said, “ but
I could not very well drown four children,
like a litter of puppies.”
Then leaning her chin on her hands,she
watched from her lofty window another
woman with -a handkerchief over her
head, going from door to door.
Was she begging ? It seemed not. Once
or twice she entered and stayed some
time. At_lastsbe saw her at Tier own
door, and heard h. r going from room to
room. There was a knock at her door.—
She opened it, and the dark hair under
the yellow silk handkerchief, the big
black eyes, the rich complexion, were
there.
“ W ell,” site asked, inquiringly.
“ Let me tell your fortune, lady. I only
charge 2 d cents.’ t
“ My fortune is told, since I have not 25
cents in the world,” said Violette.
The woman turned aw ay
“ Stop a moment,” said Violette. “ Tell
me one thing; in this age do people pay
you to tell their fortunes ?”
“ No age is too old,” said the woman, to
whom the world presented but one idea.—
“ I just told aa old lady’s fortune b 3 fosw. It
was in the cards that she was to have a
husband, too—her fourth. She gave me a
dollar. L o o k !” She opened her palm.
“ I make m o n e y , I do,” said she. “ I4m
a gipsy I ’ m a seventh child. I see the
futui-e. I ’ll take any little bit o f jewelry
if you havn’ t any money. Have your for­
tune told ?”
Violette shook her head and closed the
door.
“ I cannot steal, and to beg I am asham­
ed,” said she to herself. “ After it is dark
to-night I ’ll go out and tell fortunes for a
while.”
Then she took two flat irons to the junk
shop, bought a loaf of bread and a pint of
milk, a n d fed her four children—she for
whom nothing had once been dainty
enough , and who had ridden in her own
carriage.
She put the children to bed, and left the
key with a neighbor in case of fire,a dre d
that haunts those many storied houses
like a ghost, and then, disguise'd in vail,
and hood and shawl, went forth on her
errand. It was a crazy dream. She had
not courage to attempt fortune telling. It
was worse than begging.
She wandered aiong the streets, leaving
the ill-smelling ones behind her, and com ­
ing at last to the pure, sweet homes of lux-
ury. In the end sue stood before her mo­
ther’s window.
There was light in the basement, and
through the lace curtains she saw actable
spread, and the shadow, of a figure she
knew to be her mother’s qn the curtain,
and there, drawing downihe^shffie, was
Martha, who- had nursed her when a
child.
Tears filled her eyes. Itwrasa Paradise
which she had never hoped to regain. Her
mother had written:
“ A curse on you. Never darken my
doors more, unless you wish to hear 'm o
utter R."
