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 antly compensated by your selection. 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. 16. The fate* Indicate that you are going to have a life cf ups and downs and moving hither and yon. always restless and discontented. 17. Your most ardent wish is about to be realised. IS. You are likely to Inherit some money, but you will go out and rlsk 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 agement and la consequently thinking of turning to another for consolation. 25. You might try to instill a little more religion Into yourself so that you will be better able to apply the ■ golden rule to the affairs of life.

ADVENTURER Input SCOTTBAIlir kfcyiMv <>*=1 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.'

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.
