Cheiro Is British. The general impression
is that he is an Englishman. The fact that
he speaks the native tongue of the West
End, with slight Irish accent, might lead
enc to fancy he is also somewhat of an

mystery. To me ne is more of a mystery

A Trick of Ostentation.
Another characteristic of mentally de-
veloped egotism is to trick ostentation in a
white robe Of altruistic pretensions.
Now, this whole substance of the eternal
gullible" Cheiro has marvelously introduced
into his scheme Of palmistry. He has not
failed to satisfy even that enduring, aborig-
inal love Of display which causes civilized
man to delight in surroundings that be-
token wealth. Cheiro has been with us in
America since September, 1893 His first
quarters were on 9th avenue, in New York.

CheirO's Hand and It's Uses.
Cheiro's hand, you may notice, has a
long little finger. BY the light of his own
science, this is the hand that twists others
to its present uses. 1t is the hand of skill
ed and successful diplomacy. In Cheiro's
plan, this hand unavoidably puts money in
his pockets, but with him money, and the
personal influence he yields, are merely
irg, which genius he exercises as the bird
sings in simple obedience to destiny.
In manipulating the eternal gullible"
in man, Cheiro has based his operations on
which all others spring-egotism. The

MRS. EMMA TICHENOR.

match for Andy until Miss Crawford
went to spend a summer at the sea
shore.
Here she met and fell in love with
John Tichenor. a young man of an ex-
cellent Newark On. j. family, but a
ne'er-do-well Tichenor followed her
to her Pittsburg home, and was forbid
den the house by the father, who had
heard i'll report Of him, and, anyway,
favored Carnegie's suit
Parental opposition only added fuel
to the young peoples love, and, one
morning Emily did not come down to
breakfast Instead, the chambermaid
brought down the usual note, which
she had found pinned to Miss Ems"
pillow.
Ems" elopement broke up the fam
lily, and, it is said, broke old John
Crawford's heart. He died shortly af-
ter, and Ems" name was not men
toned in the will, neglect which the
brothers and sisters did not think it
necessary to remedy. So EN-" was left
penniless, with a husband to whose
worthlessness was added disappoint-
ment at his wife's disinherftance. He
dragged his wife and growing family
about from city to city until she pluck
lily determined to get along without
him. She bought a piece of land at
Lakeview, near Paterson, NJ j., right
opposite the lake filled up by the
railroad, which affords standing joke
to the Tichenor family who always
invite their guests to walk on the
water" to get to the railroad station.
In the severe business stress a couple
of years ago Mrs. Tichenor nearly lost
her home. She was buying on time,
and the mortgage was not half paid off
when all her sources of income stopped,
and she saw foreclosure staring her
in the face.
In this extremity an actress named
Warrington, who boarded at the house
and knew something of Mrs Tichenor's
history, suggested an appeal to her old
lover, who was said to have remained
single till few years before on account
of fair Emily Crawford. Mrs. Tichenor
finally consented. and the two called
on Mr.. Carnegie in his home office, on
51st street, New York.
Positions were now reversed. The
Tilted lover now had the wealth, and
the suer was the sued. Whatever trans
pired at that interview EN-" Craw-
ford's mortgage was raised and deed
of gift placed in her hands.
Mrs Tichenor is still fine looking,
with hazel eyes and nut-brown, curl
ing hair. She is tall. has good figure
and suave, refined manner. She has
three children, May, a handsome girl
