basemen window.
The visitor tried not to look scared and said
loftily: I'm not in the habit of" but the
head was gone, so she didn't finish the remark.
She cast n wistful look al the policeman, hoped
he wouldn't go away, and then walked boldly
into the house. for she had come to have her
fortune told, and she didn't intend to go away

that the sibyl lived in another quarter of the
town. The salute fired from the basement had
prepared her for anything; but 1t was as much
n relief as q disappointment to find the reader of
destiny a motherly, comfortable looking German
woman, busy hunting through a huge purse for
pennies to give to two chubby grandchildren.
