i Rose Cramer’s
Fortune
How It All Came True • >
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Feggy Moffntt giggled aoftly ns she
stole down the front Ntnlrs In the
darkness. Behind her crept three oth
er girls clad In dark sweaters.
It wns long past the hour when the
pupils of Mrs. Dacey's hoarding school
were supposed to he wrapped lu Inno
cent slumber. Every light In the house
wns extinguished, yet the four con
spirators moved us carefully us though
a stern monitor lurked In every corner.
It w«8 Peggy, the ringleader, who
opened the wide front door and slip
ped the night latch so they could re
enter without u key. It was always
Peggy MolTatt who led her companions
into mischief, hut they wore singularly
rendy to follow her leadership.
Now they gained the driveway and
turned Into the darkness of the ever
green walk. They held tightly to one
another as they passed through the
dark tunnel and finally gained the llt-
the gate that opened on to the high
way,
“It is only a few hundred yards
down the road," assured Peggy as they
went hand In hand along (lie narrow
path. "You can see the lights of the
camp In a moment.’’
“There it is!” cried Graec Wilde.
“Doesn't It look romantic and mys
terious?” quavered Susie Agnew.
“Romantic folderol." said Peggy
Moffntt loftily. "It's merely a gypsy
camp, and some of them really need
a good scrubbing with soup and wa
ter. So there! Did yon notice the
children? One of them was eating
half n pineapple and" —
“Never mind ahofit that.” Interrupted
Maud Impatiently. “Remember oqr
errand, girls. We happened to see the
caravan this afternoon when It was
making camp, and Miss Cramer has
promised to take ns tomorrow to have
our fortunes told, and we want to give
■ that fortune teller a little information
about our music teacher that will cre
ate some fun. Won't It he great?"
"Ripping!" said Peggy slanglly.
“Have you decided whether It Is to he
De Mnuros or Mr. Holloway?”
"Oh. Mr. Holloway, by all means!
He’s so tall and lank and gloomy look
ing."
"Hush! Here we are." The four
girls walked boldly Into the circle of
“WHAT Ton WANT?" HE DEMANDED.
firelight among the oak trees. In the
surrounding gloom could be seen the
dim outlines of gaudy wagons. A dog
barked, and a man's harsh voice stilled
the animal. Then the man himself ap
peared. a gray beaded gypsy, yawnipg
sleepily.
"What you want?" he demanded
shortly, staring at them with curious
eyes.
Peggy Moffatt told him in a few
words that they were from the board
lng school, that they wanted to consult
the fortune teller and that they would
pay well for rousing her from slumber.
He nodded and went to one of the
wagons, where he talked In a low tone
for several moments. Then he turned
and motioned them to sit down.
“Her come." he said briefly and dis
appeared.
The four girls sat there, alternately
shivering with nervous dread and gig
gllng hysterically over their plan for
the morrow. It would be easy to per
suade the fortune teller to pour a mar
velous tale Into Miss Cramer's ear
Rose Cramer was teacher of music in
the school and as a newcomer was an
object of amusement to the half grown
girls.
Presently the door of the wagon
opened, and a woman’s fat form came
down tbe steps and wadilled toward
them, adjusting as she did so a span
gled scarf over her tousled dark hair.
Her calico dress was tumbled and soli
ed, and she had every appearance of
haring slept In her clothes.
“You want me?' 1 she asked.
"Yes.” said Peggy, drawing out her
pocketbook.
Then tile firelight shone on five hearts
bent close together in eager cuuverse,
four girls and tho old gypsy fortune
teller.
• ••••••
The next afternoon found Rose Cro
mer and u dozen laughing girls stroll
ing toward the gypsy camp. The four
conspirators lingered behind the group
that surrounded the young teacher.
Many of them were very fond of tho
dark eyed little woman, dressed lu
black, who brought such wonderful
music out of violin and plane and
whose sweet contralto voice had Ihrlll-
ed them with homesick longing In the
twilight.
The gypsy camp looked like a stage
setting. There were the half circle of
wagons, tho glowing campfire among
the fallen autumn leaves, the pictur
usque people themselves moving about
with the slow grace of their race or
drowsing idly on the grass. The huu
shone warmly over all.
Just ns the girls and their teucher
seated themselves about the tiro an
other and' an unwelcome element was
ndded to the occasion? TUttc-was the
unexpected appearance of' ProfesiWjr.
Holloway, the German Instructor. His
tall, lean figure wns almost upon them
before his nearsighted eyes discovered
their Identity. Then his face went,
scarlet nnd he stood there, hat In hand,
entirely embarrassed.
Rose Cramer smiled n pleasant greet
ing. but Susie Agnew clapped her fat
hands with almost Infantile delight.
“Sit down here, do, dear Professor
Holloway,” she chirruped. "We nYe all
going to have our fortunes told, and
you must have yours."
“I—er—1 was merely strolling through
the camp. Very fascinating, you know
—study of the Romany language." he
said haltingly.
"Do sit down nnd have your fortune
told!” pleaded Maud Beals.
So Professor Holloway sat down op
posite Rose Cramer, and the group fell
into silence while Fanlta, one by one,
took the little palms In her own and
read them glibly, promising such fniry
tale fortunes as all schoolgirls love.
"And now, you, Miss Cromer—you
promised," urged Peggy at last.
Rose shrugged her shapely shoulders
nd held out her slim white hand to
the gypsy.
Fanlta took it in her brown palm
and looked long and deep Into Rose's
lovely eyes. Then she glanced half
ontemptnously at the eager faces of
the schoolgirls, and her eyes dropped
to the rosy palm that lay In her grusp.
I see much happiness for the pret
ty Indy," she began softly.
The girls east n startled glance nt
their teacher's face. They hnd never
thought of Miss Cramer as pretty, but
now, with the swift blush on her pale
cheeks, she was more than pretty.
What wonderful eyes she had—blue or
brown or gray?
“The pretty lady has traveled along
a pleasant road." droned the gypsy.
'The sun shone every day, but there
came a time of storm and trouble, nnd
the way led through the darkness of
death: then music nnd the sound of
young voices and through it all a love
song. —'
I see two Aon—one to whom you
are Indifferent, und he Is unworthy.
The other loves you, hut he Is afraid
to tell. The lovellght shines In his
eyes. Silly butterflies flutter about
you. Brush them uslde and take your
happiness. I see a journey, a mar
riage and much happiness in a new
place, it Is in a wurm land where the
sun shines nnd the birds sing all win
ter. You will be happy.”
Fanlta dropped Miss Cramer’s hand
and for the first time smiled.
Tbe girls stirred uneasily. There
seemed to be an undertone of gravity
In Fanita’s voice. There was no joke
about this fortune. It was not exact
ly as they had planned—to embarrass
Miss Cramer. Rose was still blush
ing, but her long lashed eyes were
studying the campfire.
“And now the gentleman’s?" asked
Fanlta in a wheedling tone. Her big
pocket was heavy with silver, and she
was greedy for more, but, above the
greediness, there was a note of eager
Interest In Professor Holloway. He
had listened to the telling of Rose’s
fortune with impassive countenance.
Now, at the suggestion that his own
be foretold, be blushed like a school
boy.
"Oh, be a sport!” burst out Incor
rigible Daisy Nevlns, and she only
laughed When Miss Cramer’s delicately
penciled eyebrows were lifted in mute'
surprise.
Professor Holloway held out his long,
lean band, and Fanlta took It In her
own, studying the strongly marked
lines.
“Happiness for the gentleman.” said
Fanlta softly. "His way leads wher
ever the pretty lady goes, even to
the sunny south, where they will live
In peace and plenty. Butterflies are
ubout you, too, but brush them aside.
Heed not their silly laughter. Love
and happiness are more Important.”
"Thank you," said Professor Hollo
way gravely as he tucked a crisp green
back Into Fanltn’s band. Ho nroso to
his tall height and looked around at
the group of girl faces. Then his eyes
rested on Rose Cramer’s delicate face.
“Come, Rose.” he said simply. And
she arose and walked beside him.
"Come, children.” she said absently
over her shoulder. And the girls fol
lowed silently.
Funlta smiled scornfully upon them
as they passed her.
“Fortunes, love and happiness cannot
be bought with money.” she said. “I
have spoken as it was written In tbe
hand. It is well.” She pointed at the
hilltop, where the professor and Rose
waited for the girls. Their forms
were outlined against the primrose of
the averting sky. They saw that Rose
and Holloway were standing there,
bund in bund.
“It Is beautiful!" said Peggy Moffatt
soberly ns they went away.

his enormous physical stren '*■ almost

while It illd not display his disposition
la the most amiable light, undoubtedly
afforded hlui much satisfaction.
He was In concert playing on a ptnuo

the peculiarities of which wns that tho
Up of the keyboard cover projected
farther over the keys than In most
pianos when the Instrument wns open
for playing. GoUschalk^, who was ac
customed to throw up bis linnds to a
considerable height during tile per
formance of brilliant passages and was
unused to tills new form of keybonrd,
constantly lilt his knuckles against the
projecting lip.
This reiiented rapping of his knuck
le*. qt Inst began to hnve an Irritating
effect on him, us tbe audience could
plainly see. Suddenly after a particu
larly hard rap be stopped short In tho
middle of his selection, wrenched tho
offending cover out of the Instrument
by lunln force and burled It across the
platform with great violence. Then,
with a smile of the greatest satlsfac
