THE FORTUNE
They walked slowly up the hill together, fol lowing the shadows flung, before them on the white, dusty road. The man was talking with. some animation, turning towards his compan- ́sion, and now and then Ipiting his eyes rest on her face au though it were a picture upon which they could not too often dwell. She spoke little iu reply, occasionally throwing in a word of comment. of Ingotry, but for the most part contenting herself with a little smile of amused interest which brightened the somewhat wistful curve of her lips, but scarcely touched the dicamy groy eyes above. She was no longer, in her first youth, or else some filcher of early bloom other than Time had given that slightly. worn look to the delicate, sositive face.
At the brow of the hill the man balled, and his companion looked about her. "It is here, then, the abode of the witch? Where does she receive her-clients ? "",
The collage bear which they had stopped was the only one in sight: A broad strip of garden divided it from the road, and, near the gate, half-bidden by a large, cheilaut ‚trea, slond' an arbour. Towards this inshougs*, The prap led the way-
A sullen-looking old woman dexing over some knitting roused herself into life as they approached: The man spoke a few words,and. put silver into her hand. A pair of £rilliant dark eyes looked out for a moment from the withered face, than the eyelids hid them again as she indicated a low chair before her. Ther lady sank into it a life wearily, and removing her gloves, offered for scrutiny a pair of slender
white bands.
The gipsy scanned the lines for a few mo manta in silence, then leaned back and closed' her oyes again as she slowly delivered her pronouncement:
I see a long life-a long love-a long sorrow-a long joy. And the joy is at hand, for the sorrow draws to its clase and the old love returns again."
The consultant stared a moment at the inert figura and unresponsive face before, her, then rose slowly to her feet, a bright glow spreading rapidly over her pale face. She turned away, and steadying herself by the tree trunk, gazed down the hill. All signs of listlessness and weariness had vanished as if by the trans-, forming influence of some life-giving elixir. In a dark, long-shuttered chamber of her heart 'sat the gracious figure of Hopa holding a lighted torch which flung radiance into every corner of that room of memories,. `Before her was the vision of a face da which har bodily eyes had not rested for nine weary yours. Dear Heaven, if the miracle should come true!
The flush faded, the vision vanished, she brought herself back to her surroundings with a start, Graceful and composed as ever, save for the unquenchable spark in her eyes reflect ed from that invisible lamp, she turned towards her companion.**
In silence he had observed the change wrought by the gipsy's words, and in those) moments he, too, had changed, His face 'bad grown older, sterner, harder; but absorbed by her ows bright vision, she was blind to all else, "Come," she said, "you, too, must baye your fortune told!",
