Rogers Assoclated Literary (Copyright, 112, by As Miss Blythe Halpin should have had more sense than to go to an astrolo- gist in the first place and hand out & dollar in her hand, and in the next place she should have known better than to believe what the woman told | her the stars were going to dish out for her benefit. “You are going to be dreadfully em- barrassed!” “You are going to meet & light-hair- ied man with blue eyes.” “You won't llke him at first, but later on you will marry him.” “You will be very happy.” “The blue-eyed man is almost in love with anotber girl, but he will turn to you.” “The stars cannot lie. They always tell the truth. Next.” Fred Ward banded out his dollar half an hour later and was told: “You think you are in love with & girl with a turn-up nose, but it is only a paseing fancy.” “You will meet and love a girl with gold-filled front teeth.” “She will almost- hate you at first sight, but do not be discouraged.” “You will live in a vine-clad cottage after marriage.” “But what's the matter with a two- | story and basement?” asked Fred as his hand was_dropped. . { “Do not presume to dictate to the stars in their courses!” was the reply. “But aren’t they going to have my lottery _ticket hit the capital prize?” “The stars have spoken, sir!” “Might Tittle speaking for a dollar. I'd talk half_an hour for balf the cash. However, I'll go out and find the girl I'm to be almost hated by.” And he found her. It was an fcy winter’s day. Miss Blythe had come out to do a bit of shopping and call on the astrologist.

It wad'a drop on ice, and her hat was bounced off. She also felt hooks and eyes give way. But it was a graceful fall. She didn’t claw the alr nor scramble nor turn a hand- spring. It was a nice graceful fall, one that caused the young man who helped her up to say: i “I don’t belleve that one woman in a thousand can beat it!"” “How dare you, sir!” was hissed at im. “But you didn't want to sit there all the afternoon, did you?" | Yes, there was the light-haired, blue- eyed young man! | Yes, there was the girl with the gold-filled teeth! The astrologist had hit the mark right in the center, and no precious time had been wasted. ! Mr. Fred picked up Miss Blyth's hat and handed it to her. Had he known how he would have pinned it on her head. “I don't thaak you, sir!" “Oh, there's no need!"” And thus they met and thus they parted. The astrologist had said that she would be dreadfully embarrassed. | Hadn't she been? The woman of the stars had sald that the girl would al- | most hate the blue-eyed man at first sight. Gee, but didn't she want to claw his smiling face! To most young ladies it is utterly Impossible to get wp from | & fall and walk away with proper dig- nity, but Miss Blythe made a very good attempt. Mr. Ward was in the real estate business. He passed on to attend to his bargain sales, but as he headed for his office he said to himself: i “Yes, 1 thought I loved another, but I was wrong. It's the girl with the golden tooth I love and am going to marry.” | Mr. Ward did not lack cheek. No | real estate man does. If he hasn't got it he makes a flat fatlure. Therefore, | he didn't let 24 hours elapse before | calling on Miss Blythe. For the small sum of ten cents a small boy had fol- lowed her home and marked down | street and number. The agent inten- | ed to ask if the house was for sale, ' but something happened to prevent. The girl who had tumbled was at the head of the stalrs when he rang. She started down to open the door, and her heel caught and she pitched for- ward and went to hall floor like a feather bed. The mother came run- ning and screaming, and Mr. Ward turned the knob and entered just as the bundle cu the flcor was unrolling itself. “You—you again!” it gasped. “Yes! You cannot be much injured. You fell too gracefully for that. You surely have got the art.

There | was no chance to play the hero before | Miss Blythe jumped. It cannot be sald that she landed on her ear, but still she landed and brought up against a fence with a bang. Mr. Ward was on the spot with words of hope and condolence, but he hadn't uttered ten of them when Miss Blythe was on her feet and saying: “You wretch, but you have crossed my path again!” “Oh, I don't know,” replied the young man. “T came out here to look at & graveyard, and had no thought that you would follow me.” “But it must stop, sir—it stop!” must | Okeechobee Farm cowpeas, velvet beans, rape, peanuts, kudsu, spineless © grasses for hay and pasture.

Not for a moment did he doubt that the stars would bring ' everything out all right. Then the day came that a grocer's horse was given an extra handful of oats and got frisky over it and ran away. Did he run over Miss Blythe? Not a bit of ! it. Mr. Ward was there to grab him ! by the nose and twist him into a lamp- | post and see that his neck was prop- erly broken.
