T was Mr!. Sber- win Blake's afti>r- Doon ".4t home" at 52 MocolesHeld Square, 8.

Of coarse, her daugbter Mias Xeltie Blake, ought tu bare helped ber mother witb the so¬ cial dnties; but that youug lady was sitliug in a far coruer, en^ai^ed in carueat ooQTeri.atiun with a certnin Mrs. Ripley, wlio profeseed to know a great deal nbof t cpirituiliem.
"Dnt lell me," Nettie was saying in an awestrickeu voice, "can litis wo¬ man you wero titliiin); shout reaily seo wbat la t'oiug to bappen to people, nnd do her prophecies alwaya vome true?" "Aa to IbttI," replied ber friend, "I have certaiuly known her foretell tbe future wunderfnlly ; bnt sbe aucoeeds jiest in discovering ]>eople's obsroo- lera and livea (rom merely holding io ber band aumetbiog bclooging to tbetii.

corner. The vehicle stopped in front of a small grocer's abop. Out she jumped, and tellingthe driver to wait, daslied in and aaked to see the pro- priotor'a wife. She waa dismayed lo find how lots it had growo, and de apaired of getting homo in lime to avoid awkward questions; but she was determined to go throngh with it now at all costs. The grocer,* who looked knowing, and aeemed qnite nsed to this sort of thing.abowcd her npstoirs, and ahoute'd for his wifo. Tbe latter was on exceeding qniet, mild looking little woman, not at all resombliog the wild witch Nettie hod piolored.
"Please," began tho girl, timidly, fading somewhat foolish, "I am in a great harry, bnt I should like yon to lell me what you can ahniit the person wbo wrote this,"and she handed her tbe note.
"I'll try. miaa," repliod tbe woman, "but, to toll Ihe truth, I'm not at my best just uow. Yoa see, folks begin coming to see me early in the morn¬ ing, aud todoy I've hod a great many one otter the uther, till I'm tired out."
Nettie looked blank ; tbis was too bad, after she bod oume such a loug nay.
"Bnt can't yon fell me onytbing?" she ioquired, beseechingly.
The woman smiled at her eagerness. "I dare say I can tell you something," sbe said; "bnt I never invent, a.i some clnirvovonts do. It's rather a peculiar thing about me, that, oo mat¬ ter how tired I am, I c-in always see and deaoribo placea, though I can't hit olf people or characters at all uuless I'm feeling absolutely frosb."
"Well, tbn place will bo better than nothing," said tho girl with a aigb ; "and, please, bo as quick as yon oao."
Nettie watched the womao curiously OS sbo stood witb tbo note—that hod been taken ontof its envelope, though it was still folded up—in ons hand. Presently sho began :
"Overlooking a groat park I see a lurge red briok building, with a clock tower in tbe c^tre, surmoanted by a weathetcock.

Other soldiera, moantod on beautiful black horses, ore jnst riding iu pairs throngh the large iron gate, tbeir helmets sparkling in the sun- ahine."
The girl lislenod in oraazement; tho womou had described tbe barracks wherein Captain Tsssling wos quar¬ tered, and she waited feveriably tho onawer to her qneation.
"On, please go on!" she cried. "What do you see next ?"
"Outsido the railings in front oftho build'ng," continued tbo other, after o brief pstive, "I see young women wheeling children in   perambulators;

Tbere was o short pause; then tho woman started afresh : "I see in ono wiog of the building a beautifnlly fur¬ nished room ; tbere are a great many photographs standing obout, nearly all of differeul young ladies, onu some are in theatrical coatnmn—" H»'» Kettle luterraplod onoo more, saying wilh o romnrkoble amount of  heat for
0 girl usually so awuet tempered, that she did uot cora aboat tbo photo¬ graphs.
The cliiirvoyool protested that aucb interruptions would sj?oil everything, but at last sbe monoged to oome lo Iho point. "In this room I see o loll, fair mnu with dnrk eyes; be looks strong and soldier like, ood be sits polishiog the biit of 0 sword, as he whistles o tune."
Nettio'tf boart beat faster. "Ohl" abo exclaimed, "can't you tell me what ho is thinkiug about, and whether ho is—" she was about tu soy "iu lovc," bul she atopped and marely added "toll me sumethiog aboul him."
"Jnst now," continued tbe womon, "he oppeors to bo in aome perplexity;
1 cau't be quite suro what about, but it seems that ho is deeply otlochod lo someone, and does not kuow whether his lovo is retnrned or oot. But I think be ia foirly hopeful  that  it is."
At tbis point tbo exertion appeared to be too much for her, and, breaking oir smldenly, she imt bor hnnd to her forehead, exclaimiug; "1 can't gu un any morel"
Tbe girl scnrco heard ; sbo repeated tbo words "Deeply otioched to somc- one," over ond over ogoin to herself, ood her eyea sparkled as she exclaimed, "I'leose, please take o little rest, ond try and seo aometbiog obout the girl he is ottocbed to, or wait a minute— perhaps yon could describe wbere she lives?     That will do qnite as woll!"
"Yes, I will do tbat if I oan," an¬ swered ths woman, "but, indeed, miss, you mustn't osk me any more." 8he seemed to moke o tremendous ef¬ fort to collect herself, ond then re¬ sumed : "The honae connected lu somo wajr with the moo's thoughts is o good- sized oue, pointed a dark red, wilb creepers round the lower windows oud climbing np tha balcony. It la in a Siiuare, near one end, ood at the otbor there is a chnrch with a tall apire."
"That's it!" cried Nettie, wild with eioitement. "that's Hi. Oregorv V, MaooleaUeld Sijnare I    Oo on, go on '".
"There is a large flgure 52 pointed in gilt on the brown doora and oo the bolooDV I see a large wbita bird with a yellow wrest on a sland."
"Obt" cried Nettie in raptures, "that's quite enough—the old cocka¬ too aettlea it. I can't tell yoa how grateful I am !" And in proof sbe gave tbs woman a sovereign; then hurried baek to her cab and drove the whola way home, where ahe arrivetl lata for lanch. Bat she waa in soch a state of bliss that none of the qnea- tiooings or scoldings natarally show¬ ered upon ber had tbe alightaat elTeot, aod thia andilen abnormal elevation of spirits eompletely mvatified the mem- Iwra of her family, who made futile effurts tu divine its cause.
On the dayoflhedmner party sbe was more exuberant than ever ; and ahe was dreaaed and waiting in the drawing room balf an boar before any body elae, listening eagerly for the frcat door bell, aud blushing every time abe beard fuotatepa oo the ataira. Wfaeo Captain Taa»ling arriveil, everybody wos electrihed to seethe ipuet, demure Nettie tush forward all amilea, aud preaent bim with a beautilal carna¬ tion, accompaoied by a teoler look, meant to apeak Tolnme«, tbat puzzled ou grodiiallr gave placo ,..oue \ the «.«hI Coptoin not o httle.

Tbe time hod come to pot her plon into execution, however, and in con¬ siderable trepidation ahe crept out of Ihe house, armed with the precious scrap of paper, by means of whiob so mnoh woa to be revea!e,l to ber. By tho tirae she reached the Uislrict Bail- way station Nettie well uigh repented and abandoned ber plan ; for she was, on the whole, a good, dntifnl dangh¬ ter, oud her conscience reminded her that ber mother did uot like her going out alone, aud would aoauredly object
sbe was bent. Still, the burning de •ire for on ouswer to one qneation overcome all other coLsiderotiona, and having resolre.l witbin herself tbat she would stay but tive minutes witb the clairvoyant and then go straight borne, she took o ticket ond rnahed dowu tbe slepa in time fur o-Boker street train.

But the next moment his face as¬ sumed an eipn-tsiiin of studious medi¬ ation, llil.l he ai.).eared to lie poo.ler- in,' over the problem N.'tlie bad pro¬ pounded.

Meanwhile Nettie was haviug be-, hoir brnshod oul. fcelii^g jubilant iu- dee<l, despite tbe severe loetnro her mother hod giypo her. Soicebow, the hoppineea in ber face seemed to bo reflected io her maid's, for Barker wos positively beaming with satisfaction, and at the aomo time her thuught.s seemed far awiy, for sho ropcatodly, in a fit of abstraction, brushol her youDg mistress's face, wbiob wa» most painful.
"Barker, whnt oro yon tbiukinf; of?" remoostratol Nettie, afler th.j third faoo brushing. For answer. Barker threw dowu tho brush, and an¬ nounoed with tears of j.iy in her eyes and a happv giggle iu her voice :
"(Ih, Misf Nettie, I'm so excited I hardly kuow what I'm doing I I'm go¬ iug lo be married I And bis nome's Tommy Orcon, and ho is so good look¬ ing, mias—but stop, I'll ehow you hia photo." She pullod an envelope out of her opron pocket, and took trom it 0 photograph uf a hoodriome man in nniform, which sbo laid triumphantly boforo hur mistress on tbo drossiu;; table.
But Nettio did nol look nt tho pho¬ tograph; bor evos wero fixed on tho address of the envelope, which wns iu the han Iwritiui;^ sbo bad so teu.lerly btndied as that of Cajilain Tossliug.
"Tell me, B.irker," sho ejueiilatod, "who is this man you're going to marry?" Aud sho suatobed up tbo portrait hastily.
