| below his arms. he lies In Garfta 8
lap and squirms around while his mo-
ther talks IN broken English of life
lines, money lines and the rest.
Fat Theresa has a child, also-a
| wee mite of a youngster that lies in a
gypsy hammock In another room and
breathes into his little lungs the foul
lair that arises from the black cigars
smoked in a Japanese billiard parlor
Just Behind the sanctum.
Picture OF Harem Dancer.
To add to the Oriental SAVIOR there
hangs on the wall a gaily colored rug
showing Turkish harem girl dane
ing in the presence OF other harem
girls before a stern looking master,
who holds a sickle shaped sword In
his hand and draws in great clouds
of smoke from q Turkish pipe. In
one corner also is tackled a cheap
advertisement for Turkish cigarettes.
Cheap calico curtains OF varied coli
ors hang about the walls, and were it
not for the incessalt ciatter and click
of billiard balls on the table back OF
the little room one could almost fancy
Garita and Theresa were the really
truly sort.
Garita wears her hair in two long
black braids that come down from be-
meath q yellow cap cut in gypsy style.
Theresa wears d cap d, faded pink,
much resembling the decor ations Of a
rainy Fourth of July celebration.
When representative of the Star
Bulletin stopped at the door of the
little place on Hotel street to read
the phrenology sign, he was beckoned
in by Theresa, the old one. He bent
low and crawled through hole in one
OF the calico curtains, till in the dim
light he made out Gar1ra and the babe
sitting On the floor within the room.
He was motioned to the Kerosene
box which served for q chair, and sat
down. He stated that he wished his
fortune told. Garita understood per-
fectly. She. shifted the naked babe
from his meal and took the newspa-
perman by the hand,
Put so cents here" said Garita,
pointing to the open palm. Evidently
the lines were not clear and needed
silver polish. The request was grant
ed, and q moment afterward Garita
slipped the coin away within her
clothing.
Sees Death at 95.
Garita poses as a phrenologist,
but the day in question was
evidently her off day. So she
began on the palm. She saw
within 1t that the owner would live
to be 95 years of age. That he would
have good luck, that he had two RI
yals in business, that he did not work
for his money; that he would be q
rich man within 10 years, and that he
was free hearted.
This was the last thing that There
sd saw, this ffee-heatted part. The
sight evidently made something 90
wrong for she stopped suddenly and,
looking up into the face OF the Gus
toner. said. briefly, .one more 80
cents;sI bring you 1uck
Evidently the machine had stopped
for good, for no amount of coaxipg
would bring forth from Garita the sec
rets that she keeps locked up inside |
ha yellow cap. After several at |
tempts to start the good luck story |
another so cents was added to that |
one which was lying in Garita's peck
ct.
Then she changed her tactics. She
asked for the free hearted ones hand
kefcfiief this time, and holding up q
corner Of 1t, told him to blow. He |
did SO. He blew until his cheeks |
ached, and seeing that he was tired
Garita took turns with MIN. Evident
~ she was doing her best to get the
luck started: Finally, in some mys.
terfous manner it came, and Garita
turned on he broken English again.
Now She said, always you be
lucky. Nobody make you harm"
Wants Eneky cRefa Numbers.
When the newspaperman had again
got back what breath he had expend-
ed, the asked quietly IL Garita could
pick lottery tickets and chefa winners,
and the Hike? Garfta did not under
stand, but said she would call old The
resa, and the fat one came.
Several lengthy jabberings in an un-
known tongue and Theresa was ready
with the, information. But" she said
fatly. You give SO cents" Again
protest, and a denial of the easy
uOu0y SIOTy ludL Hdu just uCOn uC4ifr
cred, but Theresa was positive. Ga
rita rocked her babe back and forth
meanwhile, smilingiy, and huI1med
lullaby. Finally the third 50-cent piece
was produced, this time to Theresa.
Theresa looked long and seriously
it the hand and chahted weird words
hat sounded like "eeny ifneeny -rniney-
mo- put into Egyptian, perhaps, while
from the outside came the rattle of
dfays and the click of billiard balls.
Finally she looked up from her study
and said sweesly. "You pick two num-
bers, '1S' and 49,.
She stated furthermore that the
numbers should be picked before
the best day being Decem- I
Der Is. Now youbuy kim1ono for my
baby she said, pulling at the string
that rocked the youngster. The free
hearted one fed. however.
Garfta and Theresa have been at
their present location about two
weeks, and are said to have worked
up quite business. They have no
license to carry on their trade. Ac-
cording to the territorial law PALMS.
