When q represent ative 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 eraWled 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 chair, and sat
down. He stated that he wished his
fortune told. Garita understood per-

from his meal and took the newspa-
perman by the hand.

pointing to the open palm. Evidently
the lines were not clear and needed
silver polish. The request was grant

slipped the coin away within her
clothing.

Several lengthy gatherings in an un-
nown tongue and Theresa was ready

rotest, and a denial of the easy
loney story that had just been deliv-
