The Crow was chuckling and shaking

Second Sight

An old gypsy woman boarded a Mar

away.
Don't put on airs said the gypsy
woman. "You have. only Is cents in
your pocket"
Her victim flushed and the crowd
grinned. 1t may have been kindness of
heart that prompted one man to cause
diversion. Maybe you can tell how
much money I've got in my pockets" he
suggested.
Twenty dollars 'and eleven cents"
said the gypsy without hesitation.
II admit the twenty" said the man.

haven't the eleven cents"
"Oh yes you have,' persisted the
gypsy. Feel in your right hand vest

So the man felt there and pulled out
dime and a penny he had forgotten.
Everybody was sitting up and taking
notice" by this time. Perhaps you can
tell us when the war will end?" said one
man.
I'm six months" said the gypsy; ''and
the Kaiser will commit suicide"
