Zflg’o 4-4.. "04$ :n' all; A few minutes later John Chetwood was holding J lmmy’s grimy little hand and smiling down on the little freckled face that grinned back 'at him sheep- lshly. It was hours later that a tall, broad shouldered man knocked at madame’n door and inquired for Jimmy McCabe. “Take these, too, for Jimmy," she said, loosening the violets from her furs. And with a smile and a quick lit- tle nod she was gone. The girl rose. “1 don’t believe I care to have my fortune told today," she said nervously. “Iâ€"I’ve changed my mind, but I shall come to see you again,” she said, her blue eyes sweet with sympathy. She took a bill from her bag and laid it on the table. “Yes, miss,” she returned, “Mr. Chetâ€" wood, the lawyer. It was a foine place for Jimmy, an’ him likin’ it an’ gettin’ into Mr. Chetwood’s ways. An’ now his leg’s broke, an’ no knowin’ when he’ll git another place," she added de- jectedly. and in spite of herself a tear splashed on the recovered queen. “Mr. Chetwood!” interrupted the glrl In a strained voice. And madame's keen eyes noted the warm wave of color that flooded her face. “That’s yerself.” explained the wo- man as she deftly shuflied the cards, “and this," laying a heart above it, “is good luck to yerselt an’ yer wish, an’ here’s an ofler, an’ a folne offer it is, with money too. It looks like 8. mar- riage ofl'er, an’ ’tis trom”â€" But whom it was from must forever remain a mystery, for a shrill voice from the next room called madame, and in her anxious haste Nora overturned the lit- tle table, and the fortunes of the queen of diamonds came to an ignominlous ending on the floor. “I’m that worried I don’t know what I'm doin’,” said madame as she came back, and, half crying, stooped to pick up the cards. “My Jimmy has his leg broke, an’ him gettin’ along so nice an’ Mr. Clzetwood sayin’ his wages should be raised this Saturday comin’.” Eleanor Robinson was called the prettiest girl in the Westchester set, and more critical eyes than madame’s would have brightened at the radiant vision she made as she entered the lit- tle room and with shining eyes bent eagerly forward over the well known table upon which madame’s experi- enced fingers had already placed the queen of diamonds. With flushed face and trembling but determined fingers she pressed the but- ton under the card bearing the legend “Mme. Fontaine” and soon stood quak- ing inwardly, but outwardly serene, before the door of the modest little flat. Quite unconscious of the radiant pic- ture she made against her dull sur- rounding, a girl, tall, graceful, tailor made, came swiftly along the shabby street. If her courage almost failed her, she made no sign as she walked steadily on. All the girls had been to Mme. Fontaine. Had she not told Mar- garet Doane that she would be married within a year, and was-not Margaret even now on her wedding journey? To be sure, she had told Louise Henderson the same thing, and there was not even an admirer in Lou’s horizon; but, then, every one makes mistakes sometimes, and Louise always was hopeless. She did not really believe in it. Oh, dear, no! But she did so want to know if John really were very angry. He might have known she did not care for that stupid Captain Carstairs. “Though it isn’t always ye can ex- pect to be havin’ the luck,” sighed Nora, steeping to pick up the hand that pointed a mutely protesting finger at her from the corner. do much besides consume unlimited supplies of bread and butter, and the day before Jimmy, the eldest, had been brought home with a broken leg. In short. the outlook was serious. But of late the fates had not shown madame the consideration due so faith- ful a follower. There had been a fall- ing ofi in the number of people who came to explore the misty paths of the future under her expert guidance. Four of the children were too young to Nora McCabe had always been a wonder at “cuttin’ the cards," and it .was when Pat McCabe died (an event! which the cards neglected to mention), . leaving her with five little children,; that Mme. Fontalne had sprung into existence. Having an average amount of quick Irish wit and more than an average understanding of human na- ture, Nora had prospered and as Mme. Fontainc she avoided tragedy and dealt mostly in romantic and glowing generalities. The usually cheery face of Mme.3 Fontaine, “palmist and card reader.": was overcast Even the invitinglyl clean little room where madame re-, ceived the anxious seekers after wis-‘ dom shared in the pervading gloom.‘ A crudely drawn hand covered withi cabalistic signs had pecome detachedI from the wall and lay unheeded in one! corner; the cards by whose aid conningg events were evoked were pushed care; i lessly aside. It was evident that misc fortune had fallen upon this faithful priestess of the future. QUE E N OF DIAMONDS By MARGARET RIC I!

Their wings are small or missing entirely, for the snow circum- scribes their wanderings, and they gen- erally stay in one place all their lives. Even on the lee fields, where there is Insect- Thnt Love Heights. “On peaks where even blrd llfe ceases,” sald an Alpine traveler, “and the eternal snow seems to have fright- ened all life away, I have always found insects. No matter how high I might climb In those awful solltudes, beetles and other bugs could be seen. The bee- tles dwell under the rocks and in holes A Czar and a Wheelbarrow. When Czar Peter the Great visited England in 1008 William III. hired Sayes Court, the manor house of Dept- t‘ord, for use as his court and palace, near the King’s degkyard, where he proposed to instruct himself in ship- building and to work as a shipwright. During his tenancy the czar every morning either wheeled his favorite Menzikoit or was himself wheeled in a barrow in every direction over the cherished beds, walks and borders, trampling all into one general wreck. A path was broken through Mr. Eve- lyn’s famous and almost impregnahle holly hedge, which was 400 feet long. 9 feet high and 5 feet thick. In short, he did so much damage during his three months’ residence from January to April 21 that Mr. Evelyn had as compensation £150 from the govern- ment. Meeting the authoress soon after- ward, Talleyrand remarked in his most gentle tone. of voice: “I hear that both you and I appear in your new boos, but disguised as women ” When “Delphine” appeared, it was said that Mme. de Stael had described herself as Delphine and that Talley- rand was the original of Mme. de Ver- non. “Ah! Mme. de Stael knows so many things, doubtless she knows how to swim.” He was a great admirer of Mme. Re. camier and Mme. de Stael, the one for her beauty, the other for her wit. Mme. de Stael asked him one day it he found himself with both of them in the sea on a plank, and could only save one, which it would be, to which he replied. The Critic and the Lady. Talleyrand, the noted Frenchman, possessed wit of so high an order that it has stood well the test of time, and his jokes are still good. The author of “Juniper Hall” gives two of his say~ lugs to Mme. de Stael. The Human Nature Picture. “You can talk all you want about the beauties of landscape pictures, etc.,” said a well known Kansas City art dealer, “but it is the picture with the human nature in it that attracts the crowd. Put a human nature pic- ture in a window with landscapes and it will be the only one noticed. Not long ago I noticed a number of small boys standing around our window. They stayed so long I went out to see what was attracting them. It was a picture of two cowboys leaving a new- ly made grave on the prairie, one of them leading a horse with an empty saddle. Over the grave stood a dog. Finally one of the boys said, ‘Come on, tellers; we gotta go home.’ ‘I ain’t done lookln’ yet,’ replied another, evi- dently his small brother. ‘Well, come on; we’ve gotta go. You can come back tomorrow an’ see it some more,’ came from the first. ‘Tomorrow mom. in’?’ asked the smaller boy. ‘Yes.’ ‘All right,’ he said, and on they went. Dur- ing the day I noticed perhaps a dozen people bringing their friends up to see that painting. The picture that ‘gets next’ to a person is the one the big majority: of people love.”â€"Kansas City Times. He hesitated outside the shabby lit- tle flat. She lived to the north. A few blocks to the west his friends were waiting for him. He had tried to keep away from her. It was evident she cared for Carstairs, and he would keep his disappointment to himself and let no knowledge of it shadow her. What could that woman know about it? Nothing! Queer, though, about the vio- lets. No; of course he didn’t believe it, but he squared his shoulders and turn- ed to the north. John Chetwood rose abruptly. “That’s a great fortune. We’ll have to look into that, Mr. Jimmy," he said, but his laughter was forced, and the lines on his face deepened as he ran lightly down the stairs. “She loves yeâ€"there’s somethin’ come between ye-but she loves ye. Never mind what’s been, say 1â€"30 to her; she’s waitin' for ye. I see the weddln' card.” The quick start of sur; wise John Chet- wood gave did not eSuape madame’a shrewd eyes, and she w at on rapidly: “She’s tall almost as yerself," Nora went on, “an’ it’s like 0. e or the saints she is, with her sweet face an’ eyes as blue asâ€"as the violets," she continued.

Madonna gasped. Her warm Irish heart was full of gratitude to the two who had been so good to her. It only she could do nomething for them! He watched her with amused Inter- est as she slowly spread out the cards on the little table. cu."' WED. JULY 19th ?
