he Is her constant and versatile admirer,
and If she Is a wise girl she will not love

he suffers awfully. but sometimes he

tried to find out one day last week.
A GYPSY CAMP.
Long before the sun appeared our ex-
cursionists started out 10 find Gypsy
camp somewhere in the clouds above
Alton. The Gypsies were found; as per-
feet specimens of the dark-skinned
Aryan nomads as one could wish 10 see.
They were camped In a little cleared
grassy patch, surrounded by chinquepin
bushes and close by a crystal spring. In
the enclosure were the horses and pretty
red wagon, with stairs behind and cute
little panes of glass in the sides. In this
CleOpatra's barge on wheels rides the
woman of destiny, the fortune-tellins
queen. The GYPSY kettle, a genuine thing
of shining copper, was hung for the
early dinner. and Queen Edi,ha was
busily absorbed in picking chicken for
the pot al fen. As we approached. she
laid il away and pinned a red necker-
chief gayly over her black gown.

The Professor bowed. "Rakessa tro
Romanes miri pen Aiakai ara kai Ro-
manchal." she continued.
BY this time the Professor lodged for
the mountain trail to escape, and pretty
girl held up a bright silver dollar. Tho
Queens prophetic eyes lighted up and she
dropped easily into broken English.
"You haf forchune tole. pretty LADY,"
she asked as the silver crossed her palm.
Il tell such forchune as come true.
There's luck In your hand, my Teddy.
and mind what tell you. You can make
three wishes and my blessed Teddy, and
they'll each come true. and mind now

The King OF the Zingaros read fortunes
by the stars and raked IN shekels enough

whose dollar was not forthcoming, but
the fortune ended there.
