She dropped into the rocker that
Caleb had placed for her.
"Addie," she said to the smiling Mrs
Moreland, twill We bring me cup half

When the cup came, the fortune
teller took 1t and shook 1t and patted
It, all the while muttering mysterious
words that she had learned from the
old Indian, Cherokee Joe which
served her purpose very well.
II see," she mumbled more or less
sepulchrally, "a pow'ful good-lookin'

At that instant John Moreland ap-

Wondering, Dale put down his rod

their position at the top of the list is
"abundantly justified" r. n. Williams

Noting that Richards enters the first

"If Richards had sounder constitution
one might confidently predict for him a
more dazzling career even than Tilden
His style Is certainly more pleasing 70
the eye than the champions; there is
greater ease of execution. more re-

head. Richards unquestionably would
be its greatest attraction.
