SEEM TO NEED EXPLANATION
Authenticated Facts - TO PalWlsery
Nay Hardly Be DIsmlsssd -
Nonsense

You, being . typical, hard-headed
specimen Of humanity. have often en-
pressed yourself as taking not tho
slightest stock in palmistry and ALI
that kind Of rot" and have openly
jeered at feeble-minded fellow men
who admit that they cant help but be-
lieve there IL something in it." Utter
nonsensel OF course It's nonsense
and yet how do you explain some Of
the striking, and verified, instances on
record of the fulflllment Of the future
as foretold by the handsf Take the
following authentic case AZ an ex-
ample:
About four years ago two women Of
refinement, more from spirit Of d.
version than from any other reason.
determined to consult q well-known
palmist In London. The first woman
was thunderstruck by the accurate
reading given of her past She vas
promised q happy future also, and the
palmist foretold many events which
have since come true.
The past Of the second woman was
read also, but the palmist refrained
from saying anything about her fu-
ture. When asked why she did not
prophesy in regard to this she replied:
II can see no future in your hand"
Barely ten minutes afterward the
woman whose hand portrayed no fu-
ture was run over and killed by q mo
tor omnibus when crossing the Strandl
Quite recently q skeptic In regard to
palmistry was induced to consult .
famous palmist He did 30 In .
spirit of derision, but his attitude was
soon changed to one of awed surprise.
The palmist detailed events In his life
which were known to himself alone.
He had spent ten years Of his youth
In America. There he had married un-
happily and divorced his wife. When
he returned to England he determined
to look upon that part of his life ~ q
closed book, and so his friends over
here. without exception, were ignorant
Of the fact that he had ever married.
The palmist not only read aboat his
marriage In his hand, but gave the ex-
act year In which it took place. the
events which led up to It and those
which led to its dissolution. After this
striking demonstration Of the art Of
palmistry the skeptic was constrained
to admit that there was . great deal
in Il, after all"

CHAPTER XIV.
The New cIrvnlth DepoefA.

The New cirynith Deposit
The fact that Rositta found q
stranger IN the aerodromone, Instead
Of Santos Duprel, was not the result
Of any suspicion on Napoleon's part.
Santos had received a more important
order.
Tho substance "cirynith," that won

ber. that was . thousand times

based ON cirynith, he must hook for
other sources Of supply. He fek co..
vinced that this metal must b =
other places. and whenever he -
time he new over countries whero -
suspected its existence.
A wonderful instrument, similar %
spectroscope, was of great ass10t-
ance to him in his searches. He haA
found some trace of cirynith In tAo
volcanic regions in Italy, but NOT ~
ficient for his purposes. 20 ~ went
farther.
Immediately upon Santos return
from Ciryne with ROSETTA he had besa
dispatched upon this search, and Nc
poleon himself started out tho next
morning. His wound was 70 slight
that it did not interfere with his move
ments. and he started early, flying
toward italy. He went slowly along
the western coast Of that boot-like pe-
ninsula. searching diligently. but with
out results.
Santos was looking through the
Alps. Tho poor fellow labored under
great difficulties. His mind was not
clear enough to work on the delicate
kaleidoscope. ROSETTA had robbed him
OF his peace and he dreamed moro
than he watched the changing coloss
Of tho little instrument.
Tho kaleidoscope suddenly began b

him from his dreams. The tiny plate

the center of which stood tremen-
dous pyramid with the top as nat and
level as though it had been sliced OF
with a knife.
The kaleidoscope showed plainly that
this pyramidlike hill was rich IN the
precious cirynith. Santos was SO ex.
cited that he forgot even Rositta for
a while. The plateau and the whole
pyramid was barren OF human beings.
SO he descended.
/ 1t had been thousands of years since
the volcano had been active and the
lava composition was full of the crys-
tails that produce cirynith Santos
gathered some in small box and then
began to figure out his geographical
