That fools rush in where angels fear
to tread" is a saying which is often
brought forcibly to ones attention and
yesterday an instance of this fact was
the outcome of the visit to West
Scranton OF two Gypsies, members of a
gang now located at or near Barber
town. The two, both women, were go-
ing the rounds of all the public places
on this side and had reached Whet-
ling's lunch cafe. Their mode of pro-
Cedure was like this:
Whenever some one entered the place
who seemed worth their attention they
greeted him with Tell your fortune"
Thus was Constable Tim Jones held up.
"Aha!" quoth the constable, in an in

it was. He was directed TO place a
small coin on his right hand and then

You are in love. She is a widow;
blue eyes, dark hair, and of a divine

Worried about his friend and also
whether the future which had been dis
closed to him was too true to believe,
Constable Jones told the woman to get
down to tho present and see If she
knew what was going to happen right
away. No she could not. He served
the warrant and agreed to let Alder
man John tell fortunes TO them. The
