Howto Read Character

Teeth that are long and not narrow de- note large, liberal views, strong passions and heroic virtues; if they are long and narrow. a weak character is denoted. Evenly growing teeth show good dis position. Long noses are cautious and prudent; short ones impulsive and joy ous. Deep colored eyes, with well arched lids both upper and lower, show a truthful and affectionate nature. An eyebrow slightly curling at the outer edge indicates a jealous nature.
 There is a whole world of telltale indi- cations in, the apex of the ear. If it lies close to the head the owner possesses d refined nature. But if the top starts away from the head at well-defined an- gle that person has an uneven disposi- tion and is not to be relied upon. If a girls thumb lies fiat or drops a little marital, submission to the master mind is indicated If the thumb has a tendency to stand at right angles to the hand, the damsel owning it is headstrong. A per- son of weak character has a pendant thumb; the strong character has a strong. erect thumb Fingers which bend backward mean powerful determination. If they are round strength. sboth physi- cal and mental is indicated. Stubby fingers are grasping fingers. Fingernails that are rounded show refinement; if long and rather square at the top firm ness and energy are denoted.

seemed something in his face which was new to me: the eyes were dull. the ex- precision heavy and breeding. As a rule, his potations had the effect of increasing his vitality; tonight they must have act ed in the contrary direction. There was no life or animation in face or figure.
 But for the first time his gaze did not fall before mine. I felt a little uncorn- forta.ble. It was only my mental force that could control him; if he could defy that I was completely at his mercy. The my heart beating quicker. l could keep silence no longer. 1 betrayed my weak ness, I spoke.
 ''Is anything to matter?" I asked, keeping my eyes fixed on him.
 He made no reply. He did not even seem to hear me. The stealthy look in his face never changed. But, as I watched. he drew gradually and almost imperceptibly closer to me. What thought had been growing up in his slow mind = what intention lurked behind those breeding eyes? The wild beast lust to fight and kill? l had no weapon within reach; I could not move; if averted my gaze for a moment he might spring at me.
 So we sat, facing each other. He was like a savage animal, newly caged. who Is only prevented by the iron bars from leaping on his keeper. My will-power kept him off as yet; would he break 1t down?
 My pulses were throbbing in my ears now; I seemed to be looking at hin through a mist I could not cry for help. my tongue was glued to my mouth. Perhaps my gaze faltered or lost some of its power. and In an instant he had sprung at me. It was the spring of a tiger. I was like a reed in his grasp. His hands were about my throat, press ing the life out of me; I could only look up, helpless, into the awful, triumphant face. Then suddenly, as I gazed. feel Ing that every moment must be my last, there came horrible change. In flash the light had died out of the eyes, 8 sickly pallor crept over the flushed face, the strong hands dropped from my throat, slack and heavy, and he stagger- ed away, falling sideways into chair.
 I was too exhausted to move or call for assistance I could only watch him fearfully. And as I looked there came a still more awful change. His limbs withered to the limbs of an old man and his face grew yellow and aged and worn What had been the form and face of a young man in his prime now showed every sign of senile decay. For minute he sat thus. as though turned to stone, then his head fell back sharply. He was dead.
 And he had become again the wretch ed outcast I had found on the moors.
