Susan Shrock had the reputation. In

trustworthy fortune-teller. She was
not an old bag. according to custom, but
rather young and pretty. She predicted
that c. Lewis Hollingsworth would
meet death at the hands of an unknown
man on the highway. and that his horse
would return home alone, and that his
body would never be found. a few
days ago he started on a horseback
journey, and soon the horse came back
riderless. His wife WAS grief stricken
until she learned that Susan had disap-
peared. and that her husband had taken
his best clothes and all the money he
could accumulate. Now she is search
ing for his body. but she expects to find
it alive, near by Susan.
