BICYCLE

Hello. hello, is this Mr. Fay? Wen
or Mrs Fay. ! don't know which, but
the facts OF the case are this About ten
days ago | came down town on little
business trip. on my bicycle. | left the
wheel in front Of Larkins and knight, the
paper people. When | came out ofthe office
the wheel was gone" Such was the mes
sage that flashed over the telephone wires
yesterday at the Narragansett to Mr.. Fay
Il advertised and tried in every way to
locate the bicycle. but TO no avail, con-
tinued Mr.. Shepard. "and had given the
matter up as lost Friday night l was
talking with friend and the subject of
your wifes work came up. why don't
you ask Mrs. Fay? suggested my friend
about your wheel Now Mr.. Fay
must confess and at the same time beg
your pardon for being a doubling Thomas
1t is a good show. anyhow, said my
friend, let US go over tonight and see the
Fays. Maybe and maybe not she will tell
you something; 1t will do no harm You
can well imagine my surprise when Mrs
Fay called me by name, told me all about
the missing bicycle and advised me TO go
out toward Norwood. about two miles
from the city limits, on the right side OF
the road | would notice a shanty which
had been used by some Italians the last
summer, to make my way into this and
underneath some old boards. boxes and
rubbish piled i'm one corned ! would ma
my wheel Well now, Mr. Fay, to tell
the truth, / had no confidence in Mrs
Fay's statement and consequently paid
no attention to II: / told the experience
TO my wife Friday night and promptly
forgot all about the affair until this
morning when my wife suggested II would
do no harm 10 go and look where Mrs
Fay told me. l don't know what 10 say
Mr.. Fay; am simply overawed and PROB
ably the most surprised man in Provi-
dence. for sure enough. | found the wheel
Just as Mrs. Fay said. in the corner OF
a hut on the right side OF the road TO
Norwood. II was covered up with lot
Of Junk; | got the wheel and rode home
on Il. Now. Mr.. Fay. l offered ten dollars
reward for its recovery. and ! feel that 1t
Is yours and / am coming Monday night
and will leave the money in the box Of

Mr.. Shepard was told that the Fays did
not care for the ten dollars. but II ne
wanted 10 give IL away he could donate
it q St. Aoysius Home for Orphans on
Prairie avenue.
Since the advent of the Fays into the
minds OF Providence people there nave
been many strange things happen.
1t would seem as IL all had been said
that could be said when the Fays played
an engagement here last week ana nave
been compelled 10 stay all this week AT
Infantry Hall to satisfy the public de-

these mystics. there is always something
10 remark that is strange novel and In
teresting. Saturday night Mrs. Fay added
TO the wonder and awe with which the
majority OF her patrons regard her. She
in the last part OF the entertainment
which is termed "Thaumaturgy,' exhibit
ed feats which seemed impossible. The
lady called out the names OF persons
who had previously written their ques-
tions at home: brought them there,
showed them TO nobody, and yet, Mrs,
Fay called their names: repeated the
queries which they had written-and an
swered them correctly.
one remarkable prediction Of Mrs. Fay
on Saturday night which reserves special
note and is an example of this marvellous
woman's power of looking into the future
and telling of that which is to be- was
the answer made by her in reply 10 the
question, "Will Boston or Providence
VIM" providence will win but not by
more than one rum
Remarkable was 1t not. for as all
know the result now. eight to seven In
favor OF Providence. How Mrs. Fay
could look almost forty-eight hours into
the future and fortell the result OF
baseball game is too deep for the writer
to explain.
As Mr. Fay repeats almost nightly,
with emphasis 1T is not the questions
a.
to. but the answers which Mrs. Fay
gives to them. that comprise the won
derful part Of our entertainment
In this connection IL may be said that
Mrs Fay made some prophesies which
were perhaps due to take place at about
this time. As a voucher for the wonders
ful power OF this seeress IL should be
said that a dozen or more OF these prog
nostications have already come to pass,
precisely ms the lady presaged they
would what stronger proof is needed Of
her gift in the occult art In heralding the
future?
Regarding the weeks engagement of
the Fays. already a great many seats
have been secured in advance. so that T.
would be advisable for those intending 10
attend the entertainment during the
week TO see the Infantry hall box office
in time and avoid disappointment. BY
wednesday seats in this hall will be
worth double price, ana already III IL
hinted that ticket spectators have made
arrangements 10 pursue their disagreea-
bic work at the expense OF the public.
Despite politics. and counter attractions
at rival houses the Fays are the sensa-
zion OF the hour. overriding politics and
all in the intense interest OF majority
OF this city's citizens 10 see and hear the
greatest and most wonderful mystics OF
the century, Of which Mrs. Fay is the
guiding star and the centre attraction.
