The professor said not word; but,
before Mrs. Vernon could evade him,
he caught her in his arms and kissed
her, as ten years before he had kissed

fondly kissed away the mist Of tears

Then came note from him, from the

wrote. ''Thc microscope has holt

blonde-haired lady. One OF them had
some knowledge Of palmistry. and in

saw some lines he did not like, for they
presaged trouble for the fair young
face. He drew this queer Egyptian
