the chapter they saw indicated on the
blackboard the next morning. Unhapp.ly,
however, the text Of the examination pa
pers contained an omission. These three
students, having got the correct text
almost by heart, unconsciOusly supplied
the omission, thus correcting the exam
ining professors. 1t was too strong! The
professors suspect an ordinary fraud,
and without saying anything declared the
examination null.
PLAUSIBLE REASON FOR BELIEF.
The next day, when these students
trooped In to the re-examination the
three clients Of Nine. Fontaine were still
more delighted to see that the next text
was Thucydides, Book ", chapter a.
This time the professors purposely had
left an omission. Again the three IN
consciously supplied it in their papers
There could no longer be doubt. They
were taxed with the thtng-and confessed.
Then the question arose what to do with
them. The university has long ceased to
credit judicial astrOlogy or any other
kind Of divinatiOn. Where, then, was the
fraud? The three students finally We're

The one thing to keep in mind when

TIRED HANDLING MONEY.
That night at 10 o'clock, just as he
was entering the gaming hall, he heard
a croupier calling: 1.-TWO, black, even
and manque! He hurriedly slapped
down 1O0-franc note on No. %. He won,
and the croupier paid him thirty-fve Of
those 500 bills. -Four more times that
night he won close up to the maximum.
He quit because he was tired of taking
in the money. 1t bulged out of his pock-
cts too much.
This man affirms that since this happy
occasion he has consulted Nine Delphine
twice a week. He says it is astonishing
how she foretells the future; she picks
for him winners for the races; she indi-
Gates his lucky days at baccarat. She
gives him invaluable pointers for his
amours; she keeps him out of all kinds
Of trouble. 1t is this latter that is the
most amusing. A dozen times she has
forbidden him to make this or that trip,
| to keep this or that engagement. Invari-
ably he has obeyed. Invariably he imag-
| ines he has been saved from disaster.
! He never is at loss for a disaster that
! might have happened.
AS Balzac wrote more than half a CEN
| tury ago, it is impossible to eXaggerate
the credence placed in these tireuses de
| cartes by all classes of Parisians Cooks,
( shop girls, workingmen, Bourse specu-
lators, middle-class matrons, and even

| of this Paris that lives continually on
| hopes being continually dissatisfied be-
| cause Of the spectacle OF luxury round
about it-runs to consult the privileged
| beings who have the inexplicable power
| of looking into the future. Faith in
| them has been inherited. Other occult
systems rise and fall; but the card read
er is unique Paris fixture.
An example from the Latin quarter
will show how not even that stronghold
of skeptical materialism Is able to hold
out against the favorite credulity. In
university circles the tale Is on every
tongue.
Three students, just before examination
time, began to doubt the depth Of theil
erudition and cast about for some kind
of material help. One of them persuaded
the others to consult the so-ca1led Nine,

naming certain cards and numbering
others to meet the exigencies Of this
novel kind of inquiry, she laid the cards

PARlSEANS PUT THEIR FAITH IN CARDS
Nine. Dephine Foreels Future Evetns by Reading the
PastebOards.

The fact that Boni de Castel1ane was
told by the card reader of the Rue des
Martyrs that he would have appendicitis
five days before he fell i'll of that disease,
does not make an unusual stir among the
believers of Paris. Perhaps a third Of
the Paris population are believers in this
kind of divination, and resort to it in all
the complications of their daily life.
Striking examples of fulfilled predictions
abound. When Castellane stepped into
the street after having the bad news fore
told to him they say he joked about it,
and refused to consult a physician,
though earnestly urged thereto by a more
superstitious friend. Nevertheless, he put
off trip to his chateau in the Cham
pagne district When the pains seized
him and he took to his bed he exclaimed
resignedly; Here it isp' 1t is in this
way that the faithful are recruited, cold
facts being awkward things to explain
away.
A gilded youth and close acquaintance
of the fashionable young deputy-he who
urged him to consult a physician-gives
| this story of his own conversion. Two
winters ago, being at Monte Carlo, he
went with friends to consult the cele-
| brated Nine. Delphine, who says she is
the only surviving disciple of Nine. LIE
| Normand Nine. Delphine is DID, thin,
bony and infirm; she wears her hair in
| a topknot of bygone style; her long nose
| and chin nearly touch; she wears heavy
! gold rings in her ears, and never is seen
without shawl. A decrepit, tame crow
said to be a hundred years old, is her
sole companion. She is rich and her prices
| are high.
The high roller asked her to lay the
cards for his luck at the tables Three
times she laid them. Then she said: 1.-THE
cards have come the same three times,
and your number is % or 222.''
AS there is no number 222 on the rou-
lette layout and no obvious way of play
ing it at rouge-et-noir, the young man
put his money on q. It lost. Losing q
second time he quit the game. and took
his girl out automobile riding. At ex-
