[A FALL TO FORTUNE.]
"I say, mother, Mr. Carey's going to take me to the balloon ascent. Isn't it good of him?"
Mrs. Keen turned to the kindly faced, bearded man who had followed her son into the cottage kitchen. "It is most kind of you, Mr. Carey. Clifford has been longing to go ever since he heard about Professor Starley. But"—sadly—"I couldn't even find the necessary quarter for admission."
"Won't you come, too, Mrs. Keen?" said Carey cheerily. "Do you no end of good."
She shook her head. "No, I won't come," she said gently. "But perhaps you will come back to tea with us afterward."
Carey said he would gladly do so, and he and Clifford started for the fair ground, from which the famous aëronaut, Professor Starley, was going to make an ascent by balloon and a drop by parachute.
"Wish your mother had come, Cliff," said Mr. Carey, as they walked up the street.
