CHARACTER IN THE FACE.
Points Worked Out by an English
woman

The face as map of character and
disposition is the subject of an elab-
crate study by an Englishwoman. She
holds that the reading of the features
can be reduced to an exact science.
There is an elaborate classification of
eyes. Among the broad deductions is
the dictum that dark eyes invariably
indicate strong, passionate ma
ture, while light blue ones show a cal
culating, cool and resolute character.
Light brown eyes are signs of in
telligence, fancy fickleness in love
and rapidly fiuctuating temperament.
A sure indication of oratorical gift is
projecting eyes, and they also be-
token literary skill in the use of
language.
A strongly developed nose is a mark
of superior endowments. The owner

There is a beauty and attractive

A sickly, irritable, and complaining

It is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.

At first I thought ssme one had fallen
into the river. But the shout had not
come from below could be sure OF
this, because on the opposite side OF
the Aare was narrow esplanade.
Benches were placed at intervals, and:
there were beds of flowers to break
the monotony of the gravel walk. The
esplanade was deserted but for one per.
son, a woman. and she was seated, her
parasol shielding her from the sun
and from my view.
Again heard the shout, and still
again. I listened, breathless. But the
mysterious cry was no longer re-
peated.
Puzzled, stood at the window, lean
ing far out, but could discover sign
of no person at such of the windows
as could command. Ny glance fell
idly to the woman summing herself on
the opposite bank. And as looked. a
tiny shaft of light arrested my atten-
ton.
1t was scarcely larger than my hand,
but it seemed endowed with elfish in
telligence. For it moved, 1t danced.
Ands always in the direction of the
woman with the parasol.
Now it crawled slowly along the
graveled walk in a direct line from
the river bank toward her. Now it
burned, shining mark, motionless.
Then it darted about in circles, and
always close to the woman as if to en-
gage her attention. A minute, five
minutes passed, while watched the
eccentric gyrations of this extraordi-
| narily intelligent shaft of light. Over
and over its antics were repeated.
The woman's parasol was tilted care
lessly back for moment The mar
row beam of light seized it's oppor-
tunity. 1t played fantastically on the
dress of the woman Now at last she
had seen it. 1t flashed upward toward
+, her face. She looked about vaguely,
| then toward the chateau walls. Now
I had seen her face.
1t was Helena Brett.
I struck my forehead, impatient at
my stupidity. It was Captain Forbes
who had shouted. He had seen Helena
Brett; he had vainly attempted to
make her hear. But the roaring river
had drowned his cry. That I had
heard it, proved that he was nearer to
me than to her. Yes; in this chateau
and prisoner.
| He was signaling that fact to her
Every schoolboy knows the trick. The
reflection of the suns rays on a mir
ror will carry tolerable distance.
| But now that he had attracted her
attention, would she look up and see
him? If by chance that were possible
would she understand?
Fascinated, saw the little beam Of
light tell its story eloquently and In
| geniously.

The Tell Tale Voice.

IF you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes,"
said Denver bank teller to some
friends. ''It is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes. that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
tion, and his voice will tremble: he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing you"

That very evening dined with the
woman; took the boat for Vitznau, if
not in her company, in the company

knowledge of these facts would bring
him to the scene at Vitznau.
And then? The most startling dis

Locke would be satisfied with no
