CHAPTER 20

A HAND service lift obviated
the need for servants in Colonel
Graham's study; and the Colonel
fetched a tray as the lift assembled.
From a cupboard he took a beau
tiful cut glass liqueur set and
glasses, and he and Reid sat down.
Graham talked in a perfunctory
manner about the estate and the
work he required done. It really
amounted to nothing very arduous:
the shooting arrangements; the
payment of servants on the estate
every Friday, and so on.
II can't be bothered with these
matters" he said, in explanation;
"and if I am away for a weekend
there is no one to attend to these
small duties. With Colindale

not take a fee, so he had a per-
centage from the marketing Of the

Raleigh, Dec. 23.-Col. H. Bum
Holiness preacher of Durham, today
was notified that he cannot marry
himself, that is to say, he cannot per
form the ceremony that will make
him the blushing bridegroom.
Col. Bum wrote the attorney gen

planned that he was to take part in a
church dialogue and while the cere-
mony was to be portion, of the play
the preacher wished to make it seri-
Gus as regards himself and his girl.
Assistant Attorney General Wade

MONDAY, MAY IS, 1886.

MONDAY, MAY IS, 1886.
 Benefic aspects appear to rule today, according to astrology. The configuration encourages those who apply for professional positions. The stars promise much to those who are well trained for difficult vacations.
 It is a lucky day for signing agreements and contracts. New partnerships come under an aus picious rule of the, stars. Success is forecast for ambitious projects.
 Newspaper and magazines are to come under a government of the stars that is read as presaging changes in ownership and policies. Old publishers are to give way to young men who will champion many radical ideas.
 Women in journalism will be rel egated to subordinate positions as reporters and writers, but later they will excel in the fields of fic- tion and the drama, astrologers prognosticate.
 The stars foreshadow a week of progress for many industries. Young folk who will be ready for employ ment at the end of the college year have unusually good prospects.
 This evening is favorable to rec reations relating to music or plays. The summer will be favorable for experimenting with new dramas and young actors.
 Sentiment will flourish under the stars tonight and good luck should attend engagements to marry made on this date. Weddings next month will break all June records. it is foretold.
 For Lord TweedSmuir, Governor General of Canad a, astrologers foresee certain troubles this com ing summer. He will have prob lems that include immigration, drug traffic and communist propagan- da.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advance ment and financial success. There is an ill omen for legal papers or love letters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be given to individualistic ambitions. Subjects of this sign succeed in intellectual pursuits. They are usually very independ- ent.
 Samual Hoar, American states man, was born on this day 1778. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Earl Goldmark, Hungarian composer, 1892; Bert rand Russell, English philosopher, 1872.
