they were taken from the fingers of

by whom?'
That question worried me so that
before the day was over l had made
arrangements with the manager of
the hotel for a position as day clerk in
the office; and had added 10 my duties
that of assisting with the coats, the
better to become acquainted with the
large and wealthy clientele, many OF
whom had been guests at the Potter's
the night before
When Mr.. Potter came in at noon
he was the most worried man | ever
saw. He ate scarcely anything for
lunch and fastened away without
speaking to his friends. "Potter's had
another bad day." I heard one of them
say, as he disappeared through the
marble corridor of the hotel, "and
coming at this time he will feel it"
The next day found Mr.. Potter no
better in spirits; and as l helped him
on with his coat l was almost sure I
heard him mutter: THAT diamond!
Where can it be? And it would have
saved me now"
Matters went on thus for three days,

With curses and tears the miserable
man confessed to me how he had rob-

help him in his money losses; and I'm

Esterhazy stealthily from her hand
that evening in their dinner promen-
ade, and how it had slipped from his
pocket into the lining of his overcoat
and in some inexplicable way had
worked itself up into the back where
l had found it.
Anxiety over the accidental loss OF

Late and early wearing of the new
shoe says a New York doctor, is
working unexpected and unhappy re-
suits among those who have become so
devoted to the practice that they can
scarcely give it up, even in midwinter.
1t is not only the exposure consequent
upon its use in all weathers that is
dangerous. for that can be measurably
provided against by wearing over
CATERS, but it is the lack of support
for the ankle that is responsible for
the new and painful ailment termed
fiat-foot.'

Birthday and Other Predictions
for the Coming Week.

(By Prof. Macdonald, Binghamton, n. Y.)
There are thousands of persons sailing
on the ocean of life without rudder or
compass. Thousands are married too, or
in partnership with, those who are like
mill stones around their necks-draggi
them down to failure and destruction.
Thousands are in business that should be
working for others and other thousands
are living in localities where they can new
er succeed.
Astrology is the only science that will
enable persons to better their conditions
in life. Astrologers differ in opinion, the
same as judges, lawyers and physicians.
Therefore the most correct and satisfac-
tory horoscopes are written by the astrol-
oyer having the best judgment and ex
perience. Mistakes are often made, but
this does not invalidate the science.
Man comes into this world with certain
characteristics, temperament and dispo-
siton, is forced into an existence for
which he is not directly responsible and
is without doubt destined to come under
certain influences and forces, but with
liberty of action arising from the ever
changing constitution of his body
1t therefore remains for some one who
has made 4 study of these cosmic nfu
ences to determine the powers Of such
person in his own sphere of life and to say
to what extent such individual will be able
TO profit by the changes of the future.
This is done by means of a horoscope, or
map of such a PERSONS life.
