XI.
The saying which was oftener than
any other on Professor Polydores lips
was, Though we play our cards ever
so well, 1t is Providence that shuffles
them"
Back of his fondness for this saying
was a romance-yes. romance of
love in which Polydore played the
leading role. But that was many
years ago. still. the story of love Ia
never old. at any rate never too old
to tell. especially when, as in this
case, 1t accounts for how Polydore
became palmist
Cynthia Seton was the belle of the
season at the seashore, and among
her most ardent admirers was Poly
dore. He was not ill-favored, either,
in face or figure, but he was poor,
and that, of course, was a bad handi-
cap. However, by his extreme cour-
tesy and tact, and his readiness to
anticipate and execute every wish
and within of Miss Cynthia. he was
fairly successful In reducing his pow
erty almost to negligible quantity in
her estimation.
To make a long story short the
young lady favored Polydore more
than any of the other young men,
gave him most of her society and al
lowed him to read to her the books
of poetry which young Sinpkins, a
fabulously rich grocer, used to bring
her by the Rrmful.
The Artfui Poiydore.
One day she expressed desire to
have her hands read by the palmist
whose booth was a feature OF that
beach. Polydore envied the palnlisi
not g. little for being able to hold the
adored ones hands so long. And al
though he gave little credit to the
claims of palrnistry as a science, ne
determined to take UP Its study IL 10.
no other purpose than to have col
orable excuse to hold in his hands the
hands of, the girl whose lightest touch
meant so much happiness to him.
Fortified with the books on the sub
ject, Polydore soon became quite an
adept He read hundred stories out
of the hand of the indulgent Miss
Cynthia, who never seemed to tire OF
listening to the secrets of her own self
which Polydore. by the aid of the
strange science. plucked out OF the
lines of her palm.
do YOU see this horizontal deep
little line on the edge of your hand
Just underneath the base of the little
finger?' he asked her one afternoon
when she had appeared to be more
than usually absorbed in what he was
saying.
Yes she replied eagerly, what
does 1t mean? l have often wonder
ed whether II had any meaning at

Henry, the useful man about the

Mercury and Neptune are in an as
pect held to be favorable, and the
day should be a prosperous one to
many persons, the astrologers arsr
nounce.
The best influences of the confgu-
ration are for keen minds that con-
centrate upon difficult problems. II
is believed that Mercury, posted as
the planet is today, grants quick wit,
an alert intellect and the power to
speak convinclngly. Orators and
lawyers are subject to q favorable
government.
Accountants, mathematicians and
statisticians are under an suspicious
rule. Inventors and designers Of
every sort should profit.
Neptune's kindly sway is interpret
ed as favorable for all shipping inter-
ests as well as for Journeys by water.
The good aspects of Neptune are
said to promise success for those who
deal in choice foodstuf1s and deli
cacies that appeal to the palate.
Under this government of the stars
latent emotions which respond to ro-
nance and mystery are supposed to
be easily stirred.
There is a lucky augury for meet
ings of secret orders and for confer
ences that are not of public moment
The conditions are supposed to be
especially favorable for taking baths
or massage with oils, and invaIids
should find the day unusually bene-
fetal, the Seers declare.
The signs are good for advertisers
and publishers, but again there Is
prophecy of business difficulties
among those who own magazines. a
London astrologer predicts retrench-
ment In many directions.
II is foretold that there will be an
unusual mortality among sailors.
Saturn is in a place interpreted as
evil for dealing with foreign powers.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of a. successful year. r.
they do not speculate. Women should
be unusually happy in their domestic
affairs.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be aspiring and industrious. Al
girl has the omen of happy marriage.

night, undoubtedly he could sue

lived and take her home.
She had no fear of him. She
seemed like a tremulous, innocent
child when he escorted her into
the house, up the dim passage
and stairs, to his attic at the top
of the house. He motioned her
to chair before the glowing fire,
and busted himself preparing hot
milk for her. She drank willing
1y, but not greedily. Evidently
she was not hungry-merely lost.
She seemed naively interested
in the pictures that stood round
the room and went from one to
another, clapping her hands with
delight. But he could not under
stand a word she said. She was
certainly not an European girl.
Perhaps she was a Syrian. He
took his brush and platette and
began deity changing the face Of
the woman in the picture. 1t was
midnight before he had finished,
and even then he was not salts
fed.

said, and pointed toward the

overcoat again. But when he

handing her the key, he opened
the door for her and the girl went
in, smiling goodnight at him and)
murmuring in her cooling Ian
guage which was like no earthly
speech that Harmed had evera
heard. /
Harmed was awake betweent
times the following morning, butt
when he was dressed and ready
to begin breakfast there came a
tap at the door and the unknown
stood there, beaming upon him.
So he prepared breakfast for two
and then painted her again.
And he did not telephone for
the police. For by this time the
novel companionship, and a
sense, too, that that destiny had
sent her to him, had, stolen away Z
his judgment. And SO for days
he painted until at last the pic
ture was completed And nightly
she withdrew to the little room
adjoining the studio, and every
morning she came in, radiant
and fresh, and prepared break
fast. She cooked his meals,
busted and swept, and showed no
more concern than a child for the
future.
Harmed had always lived very
lonely life. It had been one. OF

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned if it does not help you.

WITH DOGS ON
WILD CAT HUNT
cLUHMEN HAVE
GREAT SPORT BUT DOGS WERE
BADLY WHIPPED.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, Oct. Several mem
bers of the Seminole Hunting club

wildcat and fox hunt at their club
house at the Natural Bridge on the st.
Marks river. Those Of the party were
j. P. S. Houstoun. G. A. Gay, Walter
DemiIly, w. H. Hopkins. Jim French
and T. Strickland. They had fourteen
hounds They enjoyed some exciting
times when the hounds cornered two
large and fierce wildcats which at
tackled the dogs, two of which were
SO terribly torn by the cats that they
had TO be killed to relieve them OF
their suffering. Mr.. Gay also came
