Again and again five addressed
you." remarked Grace. while you've
been staring and gazing at that cal
endar. Aren't there enough days in
the month to suit YOU"
Certainly, but this is the 18th OF
October-one of vital Importance to
me-

Madame Fantelia,"
Madame Fantella used to sew for
u.s." interrupted Grace
Not this one. She Ia simply mar
velons, predicts miraculous events and
gives you the most wonderful dates"
For instance?" asked Grace, du-
biously.
AT the age OF sixty-nine I win meet
with serious Illness, but will re-
cover
y hope you will have recovered
your senses by that time and not be-
lieve in every fake fortune teller or
palmist."
I'm not superstitious, but on this
very date she prophecied that a tall
dark young man would invite me to
the theater and come what may, 1un-
der no condition should refuse, as
he would propose"
Who Ia the tall dark, mysterious

Why Charles Charleton. OF course,
whose invitation accepted immedi-
ately for tonight"
ASTONISHING Surprising! Charles

a delighted blissful tone.

Of three letters?"

Charles commented.

Juliette. But you will not always be

Charles was 80 interested In tellinS
about his run Of affairs and prospect,
that he failed to notice how llstlesi
and weary Juliette was. M

Juliette, tearing the calendar Il
