4 give your l0rdship my assurance -
insisted the young man, that his
majesty was much perturbed by the
incidept- All Scots are superstitious
and the king has Scottish blood in bis
veins"
"As to superstition, have never
learned said STAFFORD, speaking slow
ly, that the French are entirely free
from some touch of it"
That's as may be-" continued Del
Courcy airly, 'but her majesty, who
Is French, advised the king to think
nothing more Of the encounter, SO he
regards but lightly any predictions OF
doom from an old gypsy bag"
There were no predictions Of doom
and no gypsy bag. The case was Of the
simplest now exaggerated by court Cos
SIP" amended the earl.
My lord l have it almost direct from
the king himself
Your almost will account for any
thing. 1t was merely piece of youth
full impertinence which should have
been punished by one Of the park ran
gers had any been present. The king
had honored me with his company in |
the park. We were alone together,
discussing problems of state, when
there suddenly sprang out before us a
smiling, froward girl, who cried, 'Mer-
, ny gentlemen, will predict your for
/ tunes If In return you tell me where !
may find the Earl of STAFFORD His
majesty looked at me, and the hussy,
, quick to take a hint evidently saw
: that l was the person sought In any
e case the kings remark must have con-
0 firmed her suspicion. Your predictions
q are like to prove Of small value said
t his majesty, II you ask such ques-
i ton. Here you have two men before
' you. Choose the greater whereupon
0 the wench seized my hand before was
: aware, and the king laughed"

4 woman will not advance in a world
,e which depends on the smile of the
n mighty for promotion"
II 1.-THE choice shows her true prOph-

ri STAFFORD, paying no heed, went on
Is with his account:
al 1.-THE words which followed were

at examining the palm she had taken

u This nonplused Charles for the mo
ch ment, who replied at last: i think yo'
lis are more successful with my com
sh rade. Read all you find in his palm,
no beg of YOU Then the gypsy, II sucl
lis she was. went glibly on. Your fat
as and that of the king are interviewer
he If YOU overcome your enemies, the kin
lot will overcome his; If you fall, the kin
is falls. Your doom will be the king
ry doom, your safety the kings safet,
At the age you shall die, at that ag
ny will the king die and from the sam
lu- cause, His majesty laughed, SOM
