Ho Joanna, who could think of no remaining friend but her old governess who has! long ago gone to Now York to tight the great world for herself, went down to the city, and appeal ed to Mist Woodin In ber extremity; and Mist Woodin cried over her and kissed her aud ca ressed her, liko an old maiden aunt. . "What am I to do?" taid poor, pale Joanna, "I can't ttarve?'1 "There's no necessity for any one starving In this great, busy world," laid Mist Woodin, cheerfully. "All one wants it faculty." Joanna shrink a littlo from the hard, stereo typed word which tho bad an often hoard from the lips of Mrs. Emmons, Mist Bablna Sexton, and that sisterhood. "lint how do you live? ' eiid she. "Do yon see that thing there In the corner?" aid Mist Woodin. "Vet," answered Joanna. "Is it a sowing machine?" "It't a type-writer," announced Mist Wood in', "and I earn my living on it." "But whit do yon write?" said Joanna. "Anything I can get,' said Miss Woodin. And thus in the heart of the great wilderness of New York, Joanna Fox commenced her pil grimage of toil, First on the type-writer, then promoted to a compiler's desk in the "Fashion Department" of a prominent weekly Journal; then by moaus of a striking original sketch, sloped into the letter box of to.Lttlien' Weekly with fear and trembling, to i place ou the contributors' list: then gradually rising to the rank of a spirited young novelist, until our villago damsel had her pretty "Hat" furnished like a miniature palace, with Mis Woodin and her type-writer snugly installed in one corner. "ISceauso I owo everything to her," said the young authoress, gratefully. Aud one day, glancing over the exchanges in the sanctum of tho Lmlicn' Weekly, to whose columns Mlie still contributed, she camu acroa a copy of tho luvillc (JazeHe. "Hester," sho said, hurrying home to Miss Woodin, "tho parsonago is to bo sold at auc tion to-morrow, and I uioau to go up and biw it; for I am sure quite sure that I could write bettor there than anywhere else in the world." Mist Woodin agreed with Jjaiina. Mist Woodin believed most firmly iu whatever Jo anna believed. In hor loving eyes the success ful young writer was always right. Ho Joanna Fox and Miss Woodin, dressed in black and closely veiled, went up to Foxville to attend tho auction sale. Kverybody was there. They didn't have an auction Halo at Foxvillo every day in the week. Squire Barton was there, with a v gne idea of purchasing the old placo for a public garden. "It would lo attractive," said the squire. "These open air concert gardens are making no end of money iu the cities. "I don't see why tho Germans need pocket all the money that there is going." Mrs. Emmons came because everybody else did. Miss Dodgo, who bad saved a little motl ey, thought if the placo went cheap sho would pay down a part and give a mortgage for tho remainder. And my sister could keep boarders," alio considered, "aud I could always have a homo there." but Simon Lockedgo was most determined of all to have the old parsonage for his own. "I could fix it up," ho said to himself, "and live thero real comfortable. It's a dreadful pretty location, and I'm bound to have it es pecially since mother's investments have turned out bad, wo'vo got to sell tho old farm. Noth ing hasn't gono right with us since I broke off with the old parson's grauddaugliter. Itwasn't quite the square thing to do, but thero seemed no other way. Dut, let mother say what she will, it brought bad luck to us." And tho rustic crowd surged in and out, and the auctioneer mounted to tho platform ou an old kitchen tablo, and the bidding begau at five hundred dollars, aud "hung tire" for some time. "Six!" said cautious Simon LockcdKC at lust. "Seven!" piped Miss Dodge, faintly. "Eight!" said Simon, resolutely. "A thousand!" uttered tho voice of a quiet, veiled ladv in the corner. Everyone stared in that direction. "Tain't worth that," said tho squire, not in voee; "all run down fences gono to nothing." Ilut Mmon liiickcdge wanted it very much. "K lo ven hundred!" said he, slowly and unwillingly. r if teen hundred! spoke the soft voice, de cidedly. f ifteen hundred!" bawled tho auctioneer. I'm offered fifteen hundred dollars for this very desirable property. Fifteen hundred fifteen teou teen teen. Fifteen hundred. twice fifteen hundred, three times aud gone! What name, ma'am, if you please?" A'ld the lady, throwing aside her veil, an swered calmlv: "Joanna Fox." Tho old parsonage was rebuilt, and studded with little bay windows and medieval porches. Laurels anil rhododendrons were set out iu the grouuds, the little brook was bridged over with rustic cedar-wood, and Joanna Fox and Miss Woodiu came there to live in modest comfort. but Mrs. Lockedgo and her son Simon moved out of Foxvillo when tho mortgage on their old placo was foreclosed, and the places that hud known them once knew them no more. And Mrs. Emmons said: "She's done real well, Joanna has. I alwuva knew there w as something in her." And Mrs. Wontwnrth aud tho Misses P.arton tried desperately to become iutiuuto with the young authoress, but without avail. f or thero is nothing in the wide world so mecessful as success, and it is a fetish which has many worshipers.
