“Anybody can prophecy in that style,"
said Mr. . Howard impatiently, “without
knowing much of the' secrets of nature.
There is little risk of making a blunder by
supposing ayoung man in brilliant health
and of ample means to he fond of pleasure;
that a pretty girl should love her husband,
'ailer being loved by him ; that an only.
daughter, with no mother to consult, should
like to have her Own way, as I am sure she
ought ; that a gentleman with a fortune
should be fortunate, which is equivalent to
saying that posterity is prosperous. Chiro-
mancy like that is a farce. A gypsy at a fair
would tell you as much or more. As to,
long life, continued health, permanent wel-
fare, and success-4720,11 are too pleasant not

“At least by the way of pastime," Maria
pleaded.
“.We ought all to take our turns,” urged
the plump-banded friend.
“Be it, then, as you please," said Howard,
fiering his hand with a very bad grace,
I looked at it for some time aghast; then
took the other and examined it: and then

At that moment the waitress of the hotel.
entered, and presented Howard with a letter
of businesslike aspect. ‘ -
He opened and read it. For an instant he
seemed surprised, not to say stunned ; but
recovered himself immediately.
“How unfortunate" he exclaimed. "How
very mat apropos! I am obliged to leave
your delightful ‘society !"
“Not to-night surely .9" '

“No, no, in my dear sir: no check, I

quite squlcient,——quite." ' -
“ ; but my check-book ! I had it a lit-
tle while ago. It was in the pocket of my
paletoi, in the room where we washed our
hands before dinner.” . '
“Perhaps,” I, hinted, “ by an accidental
mistake, it has found its way into Mr. Per-
cy Howard’s paletoanot being able in the:
twilight, to distinguish that . gentleman's
ket from its own usual restin place,”
“Your joke is a little to absurd, said Mr.
Greenwood, tickled at the notion, neverthe-
less. and handing with a smile a ten-pound
note to Mr. Howard. _ - _ _‘
“ Very much obliged," said the recipient.

“I shall do no such thing sir," thundered
Howard, stimulating virtuous indignation,
and working himself into a ' theatrical rage.
