But II that is 90. are we then re-
sponsible for our evil deeds!"
THAT 10 a very difficult question.
he said, but to me 1t appears that we
are all puppets in the hands of some
superior being. perhaps the spirits.
he added dreamingly.
Then II we do anything wrong. we
really cannot help it." she said. and
looked anxiously into the palmist's
deep dark eyes.
1T really looks that way. but per-
haps there is some explanation.

world to do wrong Perhaps the
signs of future crime would not be
found if-yes. 1t must be so-if the
heart were pure. its purity would
show"
How can you believe in your Sci
ence and say this? The lines that
foretell coming events. prove that
these things must happen. no matter
what we do. Either you do not be-
lieve in palmistry or you are a fatal
list"
II cannot help believing in PALMS.

the lines of the hand tell the truth.
The most incrediable things have
been predicted and happened. Some
times the science fills me with horror
and then I wish had never tried to
look into the future. Believe me 1t

II cannot agree with you," she said
with a cold, unpleasant laugh. Fore
warned is fore-armed. l am glad
came to you, though I am afraid you
have not told me everything you read
in my hand"
Let me look at 1t once MORE" he

hand.

Eyes, but not when death has seem

with an expression of horror.

in my hand?"
NO." he said CURLY and turned
away.
What is your charge" she asked
putting on her gloves.
Nothing will take nothing from
you," he replied and instead of get

to pay, she just smiled and left.
Madame Dunbois had married the
man she loved and ten wears ago her
pretty little face had seemed irresis-
tible to her husband and he had been
jealous whenever another man as
much as looked at her.
During the early part of her mar
riage Marguerite Dubois had thought
no man half SO good as her husband.
He was her ideal. almost her God,
and her passionate nature loved him
only as a woman can love. At that
time he was her constant companion,
her chivalrous friend and everyone
thought their marriage an ideal one.
But after a while his love cooled,
but she excused his GOODNESS and
business cares. He no longer confid-
ed in her. because, he said, he would
not trouble her with his worries. At
times he seemed to have forgotten
| that he had wife.
In spite of all, she continued to
adore him and always praised him
| to others. Married life had disap-
pointed her. but when she thought of
many other marriages she knew of,
she felt she had much to be thank
full for, and she was always bright
and lively whenever her husband was
around.
The years passed and his love slow
ly died. First his kisses grew less
tender, then scarcer: and at last he
seldom kissed her, but she never gave
up hope of winning him back and was
always patient and gentle. He knew
he had a good wife, but his knowledge
| only seemed to irritate him. and he
grew tyrannical and cruel.
Then one day, she was told. he was
unfaithful to her, but refused to be-
lieve it and broke with her friend who
told her. while she grew even more
tender in her ways with him, because
he had been clandered But, some
weeks later, she told him what she
had heard and that was the reason
she had broken with her best friend
