At General Clarendon's house the
young people such as may very often
be found there the talk CHANGED to
turn upon the reading of the human
countenance This topic was suggest
ed by the presence of Walter Barring,
whose recent articles on facial express
sion have been widely discussed. Bar
ing was, of course, the only one Of
us whose opinion was worth penny,
ny, but we had the usual readiness to
display and defend our ignorant con-
lectures, the usual unwillingness to
see the difference between well con-
sidered theory and a mere notion. The
upshot of it was that Barring consent
ed to perform an experiment for us.
He wrote a sentence on a slip of pa
per and put it under a book on ia
bic. Then he left the room. AS had
been agreed, we drew lots when he
was gone, and the choice fell upon me
to look at what he had written. 1t

| put the paper into my pocket and
resumed my place. Barring had ar
ranged us in close group, so that he
could command our faces at single
glance. He returned and, standing
before us. said:

1t may have been the "shall' that
caught me, for had remarked, with
surprise. the Incorrect "will'' in the

at was you who read the sentence

This proved to be true. Barring hat
written one of those tangled absurd
ties which are 50 hard to memorize
and it had slipped from Miss Claren
don's mind. Her inward struggle t,
regain it was perfectly clear to Bar
ing's trained eye.
There was young man named Wi
lis Rutherford present, and | observes
that he was deeply impressed by Bal
ing's exhibition, though it was not ney
to him. for the two were close friends
and Rutherford had seen many severe
tests of the others powers.
