Of Prof. Rolydore
by IRVING n BACON

XIV.
One of the drollest adventures Of
Professor Polydore grew out of a let
ter sent by a woman asking him TO
interpret the lines of her hand.
She was a stranger to him; and the
only information she vouchasfed, in
addition to forwarding an imprint of
her hands, was that she was right
handed and twenty-six years of age
and that she desired the reply to be
addressed to Postofflce box 5000, with
out any name.
The hands were obviously those OF
person of refinement and culture.
The finger tips were pointed--an indi-
cation of a dreamy, ethereal nature;
the thumbs, long, slender and
very narrow WASTED In the second
phalanges-an unmistakable sign of
strong will, backed by excellent judg-
ment Gas If evidenced by the waist
like appearance of the second pha-
lanx) tempered by refined feeling.
This was accentuated by so-called
sensitive pads"-little fieshy pro-
tuberances near the ends Of the
fingers on the side opposite the nails
He Tells of Her Life.
The life line. which encircies the
ball of the thumb, was broken in two
places-first about half an inch from
where the line begins at the side OF
the hand and again an inch further
along in the line.
when you were thirteen your life
was threatened as the result OF q
blow on the head" wrote the PROBES.
sor. IT infer this from the circum-
stance that there is on the head line
the central one of the three con
spicuous lines crossing the palms

that indicated by the first break II
the life line.
1.-THE second break in the life line l.
at about the twenty-sixth year. Thu
heart line-the uppermost of tht
three-is also broken at the twenty
sixth year; that Is. at point directly
beneath the middle of the space be-
tween the second and third fingers
which are known respectively as the
fingers of Saturn and Apollo.
Life Again Menaced.
"This denotes that your life is again
menaced; this time by an affection OF
the disappointment in love,
should say But / am happy to add
that a deep little line running beside
the break in the life line indicates
that you will surely survive the
trouble and become even stronger
healthier and more robust than ever.
For the life line becomes deeper and
clearer after the break"
The day after Polydore mailed this

'Indade she couldn't" laughed
Norah. Go to the rescue, Henry,
fore the dog takes the two o. them
out o. the door. Look at the plead
in in his soft brown eyes, will We?
| I'd let him go, if it was my dog"
Henry marched over and put his
arms around Laddie's body.
After I got everything readyl
ignoring the soft brown eyes"
He picked Laddie up, placed him in
the tub and began to scrub. The
lather piled up, and Laddie's body
seemed to get thinner and thinner
as his fur became soaked. The big
white collar fiattened down to his
skin until his neck looked not much
bigger than ducks. Only his
eyes remained the same, soft and
brown and wistful.
Sure, he looks like a rat" de-
clared Norah, as she stood watch
ing the operation, hands on hips.
Lets get the other tub, Dorothy,
an fill 1t with clean water. SOS we
can get all that suds off,
Presently Laddie was placed in
until his hair was quite free from
soap, and then Henry began to rub
with a cloth, and Dorothy and
Davie began to rub, too, until Lad
die-dog's fur began to look like
what 1t really was.
Now get the rope" cried Henry,
and Davie ran gleefully to get the
piece of clothesline that was to pre-
vent Laddie from running out in
the street and rolling in the dirt
before his fur dried, which was one
of his favorite tricks.
The children took him out in the
yard, leaving Henry to help Norah
clean up the despatched laundry.
Then they tied him to q clothes
pole in the middle of the back lawn
and began their game of running all
about, throwing sticks and doing
stunts" to keep Laddie moving, so
his fur would dry rapidly and he
wouldn't catch cold.
Look" said Dorothy, after a
while, hes getting prettier and
prettier."
Which was quite true. Ladies'
collar was again fiuffing out in its
accustomed style, and the plume on
his tail was again waving proudly
Dorothy ran to him and clasped
her arms about his neck, and Lad
die, wholly happy now, promptly
stuck his red tongue out and tried
to lick her face.
Pretty soon Henry came out with

Ladies' own comb and brush, and
in few minutes the dog was hand
some enough to enter in a beauty
contest. When he was thoroughly
dry the hated clothesline was re-
moved from his neck and he and the
children raced gaily around the
house to find mother Dear.
Mother Dear and Nurse Nellie
came out on the porch and said that
without exception Laddie was the
handsomest and dearest and finest
dog In the world.
"And the cleanest," supplemented
DAVE, making everybody laugh.
Children Dear:
Do you see the picture of the little
girl atop this story? And would
you like yours or your little baby
sisters or brothers to appear in that
little candlestick frame?
If so, just ask your mother to
send your picture to me, and Til be
happy to let 1t smile at all the other
children readers for a whole week.
Yours always,

And now, children, we'll get back
to Laddie-dog and his bath.
We've kept him waiting q long
time, haven't we?
But ] just had to stop to tell you
about the dear Dear family'e
Thanksgiving party.
Let me see. We left Henry and
Norah down in the laundry, Willie
Dorothy and Davie ran out to find
the dog.
Laddie must have heard about the
plans for giving him a scrub, be-
cause he was nowhere to be seen.
Dorothy and Davie looked ON the
front-porch and on the back porch,
In the yard next door and In the
stable. Davie even stood on tiptoe
and looked down the well.
He isn't down there" he told
Dorothy, opening his eyes wide.
@"Of course, he isn't, silly said
that young lady, with toss af her
head, let's look in the stable again. 4"
SO they ran back to the stable,
calling, Here, Laddie! Here. Lad
die! He-are, Lad-dee-ee!" But
Laddie-dog didn't make q sound.
He might be In the loft" said
Dorothy. "I'll look, just for fun"
She ran up the steps, looked in,
and gave q little scream, for there
was the dog, crouching In the straw
and looking up at her with mar
vellous meekness.
You bad dog! Didn't you hear
me calling?" she demanded. Get
right up and come downstairs. You
have to be bathed, Mister Laddie,
whether you want to or not"
Decidedly, Laddie didn't want to.
His ears went down and he whined
In a way to melt a gentler heart
than Dorothy's.
Come along, now, silly dog. A
little water won't hurt you" She
reached her arms around Ladies'
body and dragged him to his feet.
With a little cry he gave in, and
started mournfully for the stairs.
When he got down Dorothy and
Davie each took hold of his shaggy
white collar and marched him
across the back lawn and down the
basement steps into the laundry,
where Henry had the water and the
soap and everything all ready.
Laddie looked in. His tail went
between his legs and he tried to get
away. But Dorothy and Davie held
on tightly.
"Come-get-h'm Henry" pant
ed Dorothy; "he's awful strong
dog"
You--bet--he--is," puffed Davie,
his face very red. "Dor-o-thy-

Astrologer
Read In the stars
Warnings of wars.
COPYRIGHT. 1913
1.-THE stars incline, but do not compel
MONDAY. DECEMBER /, 1913


In the lunation ruling the month
the position Of Mars is read as omin-
Gus by astrologers who have been
predicting serious trouble between the
United States and nearby countries.
While the Mexican situation, foretold
at the beginning of the year, has Gull
minated, there is a prophecy of other
diplomatic complications in which
Great Britain will be involved.
This last month of the year brings
with 1t auguries of sfeat burdens for
the President of the United States
and his Cabinet. The indications are
that opportunities to exercise extraor-
binary sagacity and foresight will be
numerous. Ill-health is foreshadowed
for many public men this winter.
The planets today are friendly UNI
til evening, when evil influences will
prevail During the early hours Jupi-
ter, Venus and Mercury are all in
benefic aspect. Later. Mars, Neptune
and the sun exercise maleflc power.
It Is time held most suspicious
for weddings. The seers read in the
stars promise of long life and pros
perity for those who marry. 1t is
believed to be particularly lucky for
persons born between August "a and
October %.
The omen Is good for social enter
tainments of every sort. Banquets
at which writer's. artists and musi>
clans are guests are under a peculiar-
ly fortunate rule. There Is a prog
nostication of fame for an American
poet who will win praise in England.
Mercury is in O. place said to be
favorable for public efforts The i'm
fiuence is believed to benefit all who
desire to attract the attention OF this
multitude. 1t also enables speakers
and writers to convey their messages
with directness and clearness.
Storms of unusual violence are fore
Swallowed. Shipping will be destroyed
and an unusual number of wrecks
may be recorded
Persons with this birthdate may ex-
pect a year marked by many activis
ties that bring prosperity and pleas
ure. There Is a sign which warns
against litigation. The young may
marry.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be high strung and quick tenn
pered Their magnetic centre Is the
sun in the zodiacal sign Sagittarius,
the archer, and their principal ruling
planet is Jupiter. Boys may be inn
petuous and inclined to extreme cam
dor. Both boys and girls have the
augury of success in material things,
but girls should be guarded against
unhappy marriage.
