Fate. A dismal autumn day, that was all the drearier because yesterday had been so bright with sunshine and sensually lovely with a ha I inly southwest wind. To-day the sky looked as hope less as it only can look when, a wretched storm is pelting down, lowering and leaden-liued. The thermometer had tumbled down to fifty-four, and the rawest of east winds was blowing in damp gusts, bringing misty sheets of rain against the window-panes in Jack .Jerome’s office, with a miserable, wailing little noise that was only equaled in gloominess hy the ap pearance of tile slowly tinkling riv ulets of the rain-drops as they dripped down the glass. As dispiriting as ever a day was or could he. Jack tin tight, as l.e closed his day-hook with a hang, and sauntered across the dusky lit tle office to the window, to plunge Iris hands in iris pockets and look out on the gray, sodden, weeping world. And not so very much more cheerful inside,either. Jack thought, as he turned disgustedly away into the little room again, with its stove in the middle, that stood there per petually, its time-tables of a dozen roads tacked on the walls, its railed oil' ticket-office with the telegraph apparatus, whose monotonous click clickety-elick had come to be a pos itive haunting horror to Jack’s lile. And not much wonder, seeing that he was obliged to listen to it thirteen hours out of the twenty four. and to attend to all the other duties of the station agent at Ibis lonesome little out-of-the-way de pot in the suburbs and all lor the insignificant remuneration of 140 « month —Jack Jerome, college-hied, strong-limbed, handsome as a vnuug Apollo, and proud ns—well, brave and proud enough to (ill the the detested position w< 11, since nothing else yet had offered. lie had always meant such grand things when college days were over, lie had fully decided to study law —to make a name for himself that should bring coy Fume and (icltle Fortune to his side. There had oeen plenty of money in the Jerome coffers, then and not until a week after Jack had carried off the grand honors did theeudden appalling crash come, in which ev erything was swept hy the hoard, and the handsome, ambitious voting fellow found himse'f w ith a fine stuck of clothes and an A1 ed ucation, in a place where a beggar could not be chooser. Os course lie had tried other things, hut other things were not j available ; and then this had been j offered him. and he had taken it j and fulfilled I.is duties well, and i loathed it equally well. lint to-day lie was not thinking j so much of that as of one other ( tiling, that naturally led him to des pise the future of his position. He was thinking of the soft, velvety gray eves that he had seen once or twtice too often for his happiness— j a fair-faced, proud-stepping young girl, whose name he even did not know, hut who had made an im pression upon him that lie could j not shake off. “But what good would it do, ev- I en if I knew her, and if a mutually delightful acquaintance ensued?’ he asked himself bitterly, as he leaned against the big- desk and i and looked moodily out into the j disconsolate day. "A poor devil with 810 a week is not an object of j much interest to one of the fair ones, to begin with; and to venture to build hopes of a future —” An imperative summons on the telegraph instrument dissipated his thougfils, and hy the time he had taken his orders,and seen to one or two details, the down train cnir.e in, and while it laid off' on the sid ing, waiting for the Eastern Ex press, Ivfank Wheat came in, chee ry and' good-natured as ever, as well-paid and gentlemanly passen ger conductors, usually are. "I suppose you-have heard the latest, Jerome?” he said, with 'just the least little deprecation in his voice. “No. What is it?’’he asked, in differently. i I “Bather a departure, and prelts ! rough oil you fellow* ; but the so- J periutendeni's going to put hid\ telegraphers it. Jail along I lie branch rfiad.” Jack looked incredulous. “It’s a fact,” Wheat answered, “and a shame. You fellows gel lit tle enough now at double duly.” Jack Hushed angrily. “Then you mean," he said impel uouslv, “that they intend to dm k I our pay ?” Wheat nodded. “I’m sorry for you, I declare, Jerome." Jack was thoroughly angry now. “It's an outrageous shame! I suppose the company w ill save one per cent, hy the innovation —so much for the beautiful equality of th sexes ! Well, let ’em put in a slip of n girl.if they want to, and reduce my immense salary in pro portion, ltut 1 can’t hi lievt Wheat.” The whistle of the Eastern Ex i rcss sounded lugubriously through the misty air, and Wheutjhud only time to answer a word. “Yeti’ll s e, Jerome!” Well, twenty four hours ':it r, Je rome did "see”—an autograph let ter from Superintendent Di Bo.vn. staling that Miss Alma Barry would take charge of the telegraphing de partment in his office, between tin hours of eight a. m and live p. m ! that his pay would be reduced well, so materially, that Jack at once resolved to quit the place entire ; and, so strange in hntiiunjluiture, i."

That night he was miraculously unlucky. He went to a score of places to find work, and failed every time, and the next morid'v went down to the office more nt | telly desolate and discouraged than | j ever he had been in all his life be- i fore. Precisely at eiglr o’clock, S uner intendent I). Bonn’s representative appeared, escorting a young lady -light, graceful, modest in her gray | d.i-ss and v< iI and introduced j them —Miss Barry and Mr. Jerome; j and as the veil went off, Jack m-.-ir | ly lost Ids self-possession to see the exquisite gray even, and rippling dark hair, and grave sweet mouth lie had been hopelessly in love with for months. A faint little (lush made her' | cheeks prettier than ever, and Jack j wondered wildly, what mysterious j fate was in it. all. Then Miss Barry laid off her i saeque and hat, and gloves and sat | down to her duties at the instru i ment ; so fair, so sweet, so dignified ' and thoroughly lady-like, and so j perfectly a mistress of Imr business, too. While Jack managed to attend i to his duties, with a very vague I idea that he was somebody else, j and u very bewildered person at that. Until late that same afternoon, | when Miss Barry addressed him | for the first time, unsolicited, all that day, Jack’s heart wa3 in his throat as he walked over to her. Her clear, calm eyes were wistful i and so exquisitely beautiful. “I have been thinking-about it all day Mr. Jerome ; it dor n’t jn-em ! right that votl should he obliged to give so much of your position tip.” What could lie sai toiler? lie j found no reply, and Alma wenton. j softly, regretfully : “I urn so sorry. I know from experience, what it is to be out of employment, and I am so troubled about this.” So this lovely gray-eyed little girl was poor and a worker like ; himself! The common place fact was somehow hewilderiugly pre j cions to him. "I will he as honest as you are,” he said, after a moment, looking frankly down in her face. “I need ed the place verv much indeed,” Sin- flushed him back a look that was a half a stni'e, half a pleading l deprecation. I “And so did I, Mr. Je.-ome, It | is so hard for us women to find positions to decently support iih ” She was poor—oh. it was rsp tui-osly sweet to liini to hear her so! If she had had been rich —this love ly little gill jack controlled a certain auda cious hope that leaped Up in his j heart, hut did not take his eyes oft | her. “1 don’t approve of women be ing employed in places ns public as this, Miss Barry.” She (lashed aid.let.ly, hut an sw< red gravely ; “Nor do I, Mr. Jerome. But what are they to do?” “Slay at boo e, and make it (lit heaven on earth for the husband who loves them. Let him work in Kuril a place ns this—she in her own sphere.” A delicious little flush crimsoned her luce as she drooped it away from his eager eyes. “Yes,” she answered, softly.— “Some women arc so blesssed, but not all.” He leaned forward toward her, the auilacinus hope past control now, the sweet, sudden passion that had been growing for all those months springing up like a surging sea that would not he stayed. “Not all; but will you not make me so blessed? Alma, you have been my love for mouths ; is it pos sible—ean it, he possible, that you will be my wife ?’’ lie had said it, and with a sol emn, wild-eyed look in bis honest, handsome face, Alma answered him, very quietly, but with a little catch of her breath, and a little thrill in her tone: “I think it might be —some time.” And Jack was a resolute lover, and in just six weeks’ time they wi re married ; and they are so hap py, so constant and Alma manages the money in away that it marve lous to her adoring husband, while there are excellent grounds for the rumor spread about among the rail road et’icials, that, young Jerome is to given a very superior | osition in the employ, where his salary will he quadrupled. But Jack ami Alma will never be any happier, neeiu.se they tire ar happy as they can he now, and Jack never ceases to bless the day when the superintendent put lady operators on the branch line.
