reporter to n chair beside n little
table.

prepared himself for the occasion, left
his notebook under the sidewalk and
otherwise disguised himself there was
no deceiving the one who knows what
is going 70 be in the newspapers day
after tomorrow. Shamefacedly he
confessed that he sometimes wrote FOR
the papers.
Il knew you was literary" said
the lady. who seated Herself opposite
him and gathered up his left hand.
Carefully she studied the scars that
his infant right hand had nicked into
the left one with the succession of
jackknives that had been his. With a
oediamonded finger she prodded into the
base of the thumb and traced the
signs of the zodiac in the tickling
place abaft the life line. IN was clear
TO see that this was no ordinary hand
that required reading. She confessed
so herself. after a minutes hard
thinking, and the reporters head
swelled visibly. 1t is something TO
know that you have an extraordinary
hand. Apparently there was more to
be revealed on the back OF the hand.
for il was turned over and the freckle
design scrutinied.
When was you BORN
In June
"Oh, yes. 1 see it here. in June of
course said Madame Lisbon, about
the early part of June
The twenty-first.''
~Oh, yes. of course; about the early
part or little past the middle. of
course"
This informa ton and the lines on
the hand were all that was necessary.
For ten minutes. without any hesita- |
ton. information about himself was
poured at the reporter. His high am /
bitiOn was located at the base of the I
right index fingz- and the persever- j
ance and industry that would allow T
him TO realize rs dearest wishes We're
cuddIed in the soft place beneath the
thumb. His talents as a writer fairly
overlapped on both hands. and there
was the promise of a fortune under
every finger nail You are very gem
erous, too" concluded the palrnist, at
the end of the long list of virtues, and
the reporter wished that he had more
than the one dollar that he might give
definite proof Of the truth of this
last.
Now, let me see if you're married"
continued Madam, taking one of the
hands in both of hers.
There was a break in the psychic cur
rent, however, for after thinking hard
the lady let go with one hand and
asked. Are yen married.
BIushingly the reporter acknowl-
edged that he was not, but had hopes.
This cleared the situation and left
room for more prophecies and prom
Ises of happiness. L didn't think you
was married, but I see the lines Of :

exactly a blonde, but she could BE I

Although the description was not /
very definite. the reporter said that :
here was such girl. He had grown {
very much interested in her as soon q
As she had been located in the wrinkles
IN the side OF his hand. She grew I
palmer after that and the state Of her Z
feelings grew more acute. There was \
10 further doubt Of her existence and
I turned out that she had dark hair :
md blue eyes and that there was a \
etter with glad tidings now on the
way from her. After some beating
bout the geography. she was located
n Philadelphia, ard her father is a 4
tanker or a broker. Locating her at .

City was a drawback to the reporter,

Her first name is Irene. This was
