"Yes'"
"No!"
And SO it Is an interesting question, be-
coming more and more SO, it seems every
day.
To those who answer yves" and to those
who answer "no'--which embraces every
one--a recent scene in Omaha. Neb would
have been entertaining.
Two persons-one a high school girl
and the other prominent club woman
Give is civic afairs--were seated at
opposite sides Of drawing room table.
De latter had come to ask Of the other II
ne could tell what had become Of dia-
Mond set ring which the club woman had
hst the day before. She did not explain to
the schoolgirl how she had lost the ring
or where she had been during the after
noon-she merely asked for the informa-
ton.
The schoolgirl was silent a moment.
Suddenly her body grew tense, her lips
quivered, her eyes seemed to be gazing
into space. Others were in the room listen
ing; they too, became rigid--as II aware
of being in the presence of the unreal.
The schoolgirl spoke-eyes still staring as

Tells lust Where to Look
And Urges Haste to Find 1t
"You made two visits yesterday to the
homes Of friends to whom you owed social
calls Then you went to your home. In
the last house you visited you lost your
ring. Go there at once. Lose no time, for
the man servant in that house will begin
going over the carpets in the southwest
bedroom on the second floor in half an
hour from now with vacuum cleaning
machine. II you enter the room before the
man with the vacuum cleaning machine
you will find your ring entangled in the
fringe of rug in the southeast corner of
the room. You were in that room just be-

The club woman's body trembled. A
pallor came into her face. She could not
speak for moment, though all eyes In
the room, except those Of the schoolgirl
were turned questioningly upon her. When
she did speak 1t was to exclaim:
1T is uncanny--I can't believe my ears!
| made two visits yesterday--iust as she
says; stopped minute in the southwest
bedroom Of the second house at which I
called-just long enough to use a bit Of
powder. How could she know"
1t was agreed by all present the girl
could not have known. She had not seen
the woman before and no one in the room
had known Of the club woman's social &C.
tivities the previous day.
The woman hurried to her car and drove
at once to the Second home she had
visited" She excitedly explained her mis-.
sion Of the day before to her hostess. To-
gether the two went to the southwest
bedroom" and there, two feet from the
wall in the southeast corner" just where
the fringe Of the rug lay in little tangles,
sparkled the stone of the lost ring
While the two women looked awestricken
at each other the houseman came to the
door and asked IL madame were ready for
him to use the vacuum cleaning machine
In that room!
This is not an idle bit Of fortune
tellers" fiction. The club woman is Mrs.
W. J. Hunter, whose home is at 1904
Webster street, in Omaha. Her hostess
"at the second house she visited" the day
her ring was missed was Mrs. Graham OF
301 North Thirty-third street. 1t is Mrs.
Hunter and Mrs. Graham, not the high
school girl, who have told OF the amazing
circumstances.
That is only one Of the many things this
mere child has done to mystify and
astonish the people Of her own town, Atchl-
son. Kan, and the people of Omaha where
she has been for few weeks. Everything
she does is astonishing. whether uncanny
or regular. She is known to be mystery

into the realm Of the unknown, and so it
is a cause for establishment to see her as
she is--a natural, unassuming fairly
studious schoolgirl, II years old and a
member Of the Junior class Of the Atchi-
son High School.
