that 1t was 10 O'Clock p. m. on the last
day of the year and that the fates as
read by his masters friends had de-
creed that Dudley Yates Mckee. bach
elor, should become n Benedict before
the New Year. Shortly after the pres
ent year began the first dire prophecy
was made by reason of three plum
stones on McKee's plate. He thought
nothing of this, but when several days
later an amateur card reader made a
similar prediction Mckee was mildly
amused ut the coincidence, and when
within another month friend who
affected palmistry drew the same au-
gury from McKee's palm the latter
began to ponder At a spiritualistic

would marry within the current year,
and later Il dabbler in astrology to
whom Mckee confided his growing
alarm consulted the stars and verified
the matter as a foreordained event In
his friends horoscope.
McKee's uneasiness grew apace. He
dismissed the idea Of collusion between
his friends and began to fight shy of
anything that threatened a possible
emotional ENHANCEMENT. Now, seated
in his bachelor quarters in slippers and
robe, he contemplated with triumphant
relief the flight of time toward deliv.
erance from what he had come to re.
gard as pursuing destiny.
He toasted his feet comfortably on
ly his thirty-two years Of care free and
irresponsible existence, filled with many
of the lighter loves of early youth and
the delightfully."- innocuous fiirtations of
later manhood. Dudley Yates Mckee
was good to look upon, and his pleas
ing exterior was a frank and undis-
guised index to his inner self. Women
liked him thoroughly, and, unlike most
bachelors, he had remained single
purely from choice. There were mo-
ments when he would acknowledge to
himself that marriage had compensa-
tions, when life seemed n trife empty,
but on the whole he enjoyed his free
dom and was content.
The grandfather's clock in the corner
struck n single chime to mark the half
hour, and Mckee, aroused from his
reverie, was refilling his pipe when Il
slight rustic in the adjoining room
startled him.
Rather early for burglars" he
thought as he picked up the poker and

escape fr ON death, last night, in that

were pitiful. A policeman held the
woman aside from the tracks, ss the
