The Wheel of
Fortune
By BORIS BLAKJK.
Here is a little fortune telling game
with which to while away a pleasant
hour, as only fortune hunting games
will while them away.
Take a large piece of paper; draw
a huge circle, and divide It into 26
parts. Then. In order to de
termine your fortune, take a pin or
hat pin or some sharp pointed instru
ment, close your eyes, strike a num
ber on the wheel, and refer to the
following table for explanation of
what the gods advise or have In store
for you. If you strike outside the
circle you will be unfortunate.
1. You are advised to be careful in
your actions, lest one foolish move,
may upset the desire of your heart
and get you talked about.
2. you are recommended to turn
your thoughts toward earning a place
In the next world, lnsteud of being so
involved In the affairs of this.
3. Your partner In marriage will
be your guiding genius, so choose her
or him with that in mind.
4. Do not think so much about
clothes and making yourself attract
ive, else you will be thought vain.
5. If you will stick to one thing
instead of having so many irons in
the fire, you will make a greater suc
cess of life.
6. You are loved for your own
sweet self and many anxious hearts
will await your decision with fear and
trepidation. You are vastly popular
with the opposite sex.
7. Don't dream your life away. If
you see some one you want for a life
partner, go get him or her. Don't
dream away your opportunities, nor
expect the other to make all the ad
vances.
8. You will be fortunate If you act
honestly and openly, and do not carry
on flirtations under cover; otherwise
you are going to die a lonely old age
9. The one you love loves you and
your affection will always be returned
with the same lavishness you bestow
yourself.
10. If you will listen to advice and
do not go recklessly along as you are
doing, your chances for happiness will
be greater.
11. The fates prophesy two mates
for you, and a possible third, the
first of which will be good and not
appreciated; the second will keep you
stepping lively—and the third will be
a matter of deep regret.
12. You are going to have a whole
houseful of children for whom you
will work hard and ha Indulgent, but
they will make it worth your while,
for you will have a glorious old age.
13. The unlucky number, which
means your life will be disappointing.
You won't get the mate you want nor
the money you'd like to have.
14. You will marry late In life, but
do not despair, for you will he abund

15. Luck is on your side in all
things of money and business, hut
you will not be so fortunate In affairs
of the heart.

going to have a life cf ups and downs

restless and discontented.
17. Your most ardent wish is about

it on some foolish speculation and
be no better off than now.
19. For one of your temperament
married life is not suitable, so you
had better stay single as long as
you can.
20. Cheer up. The worst is on the
way, unless you get hep to yourself
and change your mode of life.
21. J’here is a great treasirre with
in your reach. Whether love or gold
you must wait to find out.
22. In marriage you will be success
ful, for you will have more than
one partner and each will provide
you different interests.
23. You will marry a rich and home
ly person, and things will not be as
soft for you as you think.
24. If your manner were not so
cold you would be able to see that
a certain person Is n^adly In love with
you, but receives no grain of encour

CHAPTER XV.
Counting Chickens.
Tommy Fox was in high spirits. He
had found a nest full of eggs In the
haystack in the meadow, not far from
tins barn. Henrietta Hen had "stolen
her nest" again—as Johnnie Green
called it. She had gone to the hay
stack to lay her eggs and raise a
family of chicks, hoping nobody would
know it until the happy day should
come when she could lead a handsome
brood back to the- barnyard.
Tommy Fox was just about to eat
an egg, when an Idea popped Into his
head. Eggs were good; but chickens
were better. Why not wait until the
chickens were hatched? Then he
would have eight chickens, which
ought to make a fine meal for any
body.
"I'll wait," de decided. So he went
away. And whenever he met any of
his friends, he boasted to them that
he expected to enjoy a feast of eight,
chickens almost any day. His mates
all tried to find out where he was
going to got the chickens. Eut Tom
my Fox wouldn't tell.
That evening he asked his mother
a question: "How long does it take
eggs to hatch?”
"It all depends whose eggs they
are," said Mrs. Fox wisely.
1 h* next datj he counted, three
And so it went.
"I think they're a hen's," Tommy
explained.
"Twenty-one days," said Mrs. Fox.
"Have you been down to the hen
house?”
"No, mother!”
"Ahem!” said Mr. Fox. "If you
ever rind any eggs, Tommy, you’d
better lead ine to them at once. I'll
bo glad to answer any questions you
care to ask about them."
“Thank you, faher!” said Tommy
Fox. But he kept his news to him
self. Ho knew that his father would
make an end of those eggs very
quickly if he had a chance.
Each day after that Tommy Fox
stole down to the meadow, where he
could watch the haystack. It was
Henrietta Hen who owned the nest.
And whenever she left her treasure
to go and scratch for a meal, Tommy
Fox would creep up to the nest and
gloat over the eight eggs, which were
going to he chickens some day.
At first he had been tempted to
seize Henrietta herself and run off
with her. But when he stopped to
think he knew that if he did that the
eggs would never hatch. Better, he
thought, to miss one Henrietta and
get eight chickens later!
All this time he Ivas counting. Not
only was he counting the eight eggs
each time he visited the nest. He was
counting the days as well. On his
second visit lie counted two. The
next day he counted three. And so it
went. He meant to visit the hay
stack very early on the twenty first
day. and stay there until the
chickens hatched.
Even the most careful people make
mistakes sometimes. On the 17th
day that Tommy Fox went to look at
his—or Henrietta Hen’s—eggs, he had
a great surprise. He found nothing
but broken eggshells.
"I ought to have eaten them the
first day I saw them." he said with
a groan. “I know what's happened.
My father followed me down here
yesterday. And as soon as I left he
ate the eggs himself." J
Tommy said nothing to his father
about the matter. He never men
tioned eggs to Mr. Fox. Nor did Mr.
Fox say a word about eggs to him.
Eut a few days later Tommy had
another surprise. Mr. Fox came home
with a bit of news.
“Old Mr. Crow',” Mr. FeX remarked,
"tells me that Henrietta Hen has a
fine brood of chicks. He says he’d \
like to get one of them. He says
there’d be seven left for Henrietta; ,
and that’s a big enough family for :
anybody to bring lip. But Henrietta J
Hen watches those chicks like a
hawk. She won’t let them stray out j
of her sight.
Well, Tommy Fox w\as amazed.
"You must have made a mistake,
mother!" he cried. "It took Henrietta |
Hen only IS daya to hatch those
chicks.”
"Nonsense!” said Mrs. Fox.
"Then I must have counted wrong,"
said her son.
"What's that?” Mr. Fox inquired
sharply. "Did you know she was
setting?”
“Y-yes!” Tommy answered.
"Where was she sitting?” Mr. Fox
demanded.
"in the hay.” Tommy told h!tn.
Mr. Fox laughed.
"Of course!" he said. "They say she
always steals her nest In the haymow
—when she can. it's a < pity stie
doesn't steal it in the haystack in the
meadow."
Tommy Fox made no comment on
that remark. But lie couldn't help
wondering why the eggs had hatched
in 16 days. He didn't know that Hen
rietta had already been sitting on
them file days when he found them
in the haystack.
All at once he remembered that
somebody had once said to him.
"Don’t count your chickens before
they aro hatched!” So that was the
trouble. “I'll never do it again,”
Tommy vowed. "It s had luck.'

Problems That Perplex j
By Beatrice f alrox. j
Accompany Him.
Dear Miss Fairfax: My fiance, with
my permission, went alone to a dance,
I being too tired to go, and escorted
a friend of his (and an acquaintance
of mine) to her home. He likes her
in a friendly way, but on leaving her
kissed her good night.
The next day when he told me
whom lie had ttaken home, I foolishly
asked, "Did you kiss her good night?"
and he told me he did. Of course, l
did not believe him at first. He said
he liad a sort of sisterly feeling for
her and that was all there was to it.
I was very angry and • ade some re
mark about the girl to which he took
offense. He said I had no reason to
care, as his love for me had not
changed in the least, and that if 1
felt differently about it than he
thought I would, he would not do It
again, and that his mind was clear
because he was truthful and did no',
attempt to deny It.
I love him so much that whatever
he did would make no difference—1
would still love him the same. What
do you think I ought to do? Do you
think he has betrayed my love for
him, because he certainly would not
put up with the same thing from me?
PUZZLFD.
By all means drop the matter. Since
your fiance assures you that he meant
no harm, why should you, by sus
piciori and nagging, make him con
scions and "put ideas in his head?"
Don't let yourself get into the frame
of rrflnd of fancying yourself too tired
to go to social affairs wheu your
sweetheart wants you to accompany
him. Be a pal In every sense of the
word and don't throw him into the so
ciety of substitutes for his own girl, j
•lack: It would never do to speak !
without an introduction, no matter |
how the heart throbs. You might
hope and pray for a heroic moment
of rescue, or some legitimate acci
dental introductory opening for a con
versation. But as these things are
more apt to happen in books than
out of them, you bad better look
around and see if you cannot find
some one who knows her and could
introduce you.
Harry: My Impression Is that she
may be just trying to let you down
easy. I don't believe your chances
there are worth the devotion. One
might as well look a situation like
that squarely in the face, and be a
good loser about It. It may be re
flection on you that you do not find
favor in the lady's eyes, rather than
lack of good Judgment on her part.
•I. D.: I think I’d bow to mother's
judgment on the girl. Mother can
see in her what you, in your blind In
fatuation, may be unable to see. And
it Is your ultimate happiness she Is
thinking of.

Adel* Garrison’* New Phase of
“Revelations of a Wife’’
(Copyright 1922)
The Reason Madge’s Memory Was
•Jarred Into Wakefulness.
My opln.on of my own astuteness
fell in proportion to the rise in my
estimation of Miss Cargill's keenness
I lind been sure I had'deceived every
one with my warm greeting of Dicky,
and now 1 had found out that she
might as well have listened to my
whispered warning of the reporter’s
presence. I listened eagerly for Mr.
Rickett s reply. Had he also pene
trated my ruse?
"So you spotted that, too," he said
with an admiring note in his voice.
"There doesn’t seem much get by you.
I'll tell the city room! And I agree
with you That young woman has
her husband so buffaloed that he can’t
guess where ho gets off. Do you
know, 1 imagine that's the way she
keeps him most of the time, uncer
tain of her emotions—not of her ac
tions—she's too w.-el'-poised to give
him any chance for criticism. Dam
you modern women, anyway! We poor
devils had a chance until you began
to mix your brains with your hearts.”
“Why drag In the pronoun of the
second person?” Miss Cargill mur
mured with a distinctly provocative
note in her voice.
' no you want rue to tell you—
Jean?” Mr. Rickett's tone was low,
tense, and I scented a romance.
‘‘Not this evening," Miss Cargill re
turned with apparent flippancy, hut
I wondered if Mr. Rickett caught, as I
did, the elusive tenderness In her In
tonation. “.Tim. ' I've a theory—a
wild one. "i'l| admit—that he may
have staged this stunt on purpose to
see how she'd take It. T don't mean
the accident—but the rest of the per
formance.”
"A Marble Statue—”
‘‘Dream on. little one,” Mr. Rickett
advised sardonically. “ 'Twould be a
pity to waken you. At that, there
might lie a soupcon of truth In it. A
man in love with a marble statue like
tbc missus yonder, might try anything
once to see If he could make her
tearing Jealous. Rut we’ll never know,
you can bet on that. TTow about a hot
chocolate before we tackle that drive?
I suppose we'd better watt to eat un
til we get hack?”
"Oh, of course"’ Miss Cargill as
sented. "Rut I'd surely enjoy a hot
chocolate.”
They moved down the platform and
into the road, while 1 stood lost In
memories which Mr. Rickett's words
that called up- It was not the first,
time I had been called a marble statue.
I remembered the very evening to
which Harry Underwood had referred,
the one of my first meeting with him
