Xew York ^-^P_ City, on a hall door beside ^J?( a large store window, I reau rue gilt sign of "Madame Zemora, . Astrologist.*' To test this wonderful woman's skill I resolved to spend a dollar and interview her. In response to my ring a tidy maid, with bright blue eyes and white apron, opened the door, escorted me up one flight of stairs, and requested me to take a seat in the anteroom. Mme. Zemora would be at liberty in a few minutes. A typewriter was at work in the next room, and I judged it to be the madame who was dictating to the operator. Straining ray ears?this may have been wrong of me. but I am naturally inquisitive where the opposite sex are concerned?I was able to follow the speaker fairly well. It was evidently a letter to a lady patron, and dealt with the future. Madame gave it out in measured tones: **It see wealth for you. Jupiter is conspicuous at your birth. In your letter you mention that you are in comfortable circumstances, but your best days will come after twenty-five, when I money will come to you through the death of a rich relative. You will many next year after a short and romantic courtship. Your partner will be tall, dark complexicncd. with hazel eyes, dark brown bair and mustache. About your own age. Fond of sport, travel and literature. He will be a strange-": you will probably meet him for the frst time next Juna The meeting will come about in a strange manner, through a mishap on his part, or some uncommon event. He will not [be so rich as yourself, but the agreement will be good, and he *' Here'the servant came into the room, and I had to busy myself with a magazine. In a short timb Mme. Zemora was at liberty, and apologized for having kept me waiting so long. She had been engaged on some important work for a rich natron, and did not wish to miss I the mail. As 1 walked into the room I passed behind the amanuensis, who had just taken an addressed envelope from the machine. With a glance I read. "Miss L. Preston, The Poplars, Irvington, Madame was a smart little lady, with lousiness air about her, and she soon came to the poiint. "Is there anything special you wish te learn, sir?" she asked, after obtaining the date of my birth and consulting some books. "Well, to speak the truth. I came [without any definite object in view. I really don't know what to ask. What do your patrons generally wish to know?' Madame smiled and said: "All kinds of things. The lady whose letter kept you waiting, was very eager to know about marriage, as no one had come forward to?. But, just excuse me a moment," and turning to her amanuensis, she asked: "Did you inclose thai.photograph, Miss Thompson?" ( "Do you refer to the last letter, maditse?" "Yes, Miss Frestm's ? a cabinet photo." "No. I've not seen it " Madame turned to her writing table and searched nmoi.g the paper*?. "Where can it have got to? I placed It | here." "Pardon me," I remarked, and stooping down I took from the floor a photograph. "Is this the truant?" "Thanks," exclaimed madame: "it must have fallen- from my table," and ?he handed it to Miss Thompson. When I espied the photo it was lying picture side up; the face was that of a pretty girl, with laughing eyes and a mouth like Cupid's bow. a face very attractive and not easily forgotten. ? I spent considerable time with madame. She dived into my past, touched the present and lifted the veil of the ?..i luiure. As to the truth of her science I cannot speak, for when I found myself in the fresh air, all I could remember was the pretty faee of the photograph. Rich and pretty, with no lover. The partner had to be tail, dark, none too well off financially, and fond of sport. What a lucky fate the stars held out to some one! Suddenly, I stood stilt, clapped my hand on my kr.ee, and exclaimed in something more than a whisper. "What, ho!" A nursemaid wheeling a <-iiild in a baby carriage pulled up: >he evidently thought I was the child's godfather, and had ,iust recognized ir. The exclamation had been wrung from me by a thought, not an ordinary, everyday thought, but something deep and worthy of a diplomatist. Of course. Of course it concorned the photograph. Why. I answered Mine. Zeroora's de-! script ion of Miss Preston's prospective matrimonial partner to a nicety. Tall and dark. I was foml of sport; really that was the reason why I was not Avell off. The last racing day at the Long Island Jockey Club had seen me' a loser to the tune of some hundreds, but speculate I must, it was born in nae. Why not back myself to win Miss Preston? She had money and a pretty face. I was considered handsome, and if she looked for a partner such as Mme. Zemora had pictured for her, then I stood a fair chance. Taking a coin from my pocket I tossed it up. Meads I got her, tails I don't. It fell ;v - , - - -> y v . . .. .. ? r e Bratley. <][> bead, so that decided it. I had to go. When June came I. like a knight < old. mounted my steed and rode fort in search of adventure. The riecd was a cycle in my cas and the adventure was the attempt 1 win the fair Miss Preston. I was pr pared to risk bruises and even broke limbs for her. My plan was to have a mishap lie* her dwelling at Irvington. Make tL worst of it and. if possible, secure a introduction to her through this. A ter that I should leave it to luck. Mm Zemora's prediction and my appea i ance to do tl^c rest. In duo time, mounted on my wheel, reached Irvington, secured rooms, go: siped with the landlord, and manage to gain all the information I require as to the residence of Miss Freston. The following day I rode in that d rection. and discovered that "The Poi Jars'' stood about a quarter of a mil out of the village, at the foot of a rati er steep hill. Luch certainly favore tne; it was just the place for a spil especially if attempted. As I paese the gates I saw a female on the law playing with a terrier. The dag.' set ing a stranger, barked. This cause the lady to glance my way. Sure enough it was the original c the photograph. Fair hair, slim ?gui and as pretty as, or more so, than tb eapera had pictured. The next day I determined to win c die. Riding through the village I ai rived at the to;-) of the hill which woul take me past "The Poplars." Dis mounting. I loosened the screws coi nected with the brake, putting it on of order. Then, mounting, I starte down the hill. The machine seemed endowed wit life as it bounded forward. As th speed grew greater my courage grei less. Of course I could have used m foot as a brake, but a mishap had t happen somehow, and as well this wa as any other. "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady"and like a knight riding full spee down the course to charge his rival?s down the hill I flew. The gate post of "The Poplars" seemed to rush tc ward me. I set my teeth and prepare to break as few limbs as possible Steering tbe machine so as to catch th gate post I took ray hands from th handle-bar to break the fall. Smash!and as the machine rebounded. I fel in a heap in the gateway. My art pained me, and I felt dazed as I la and groaned. The terrier had evidently witncsse ray unfortunate affair, and came bar! ing to the gates. Presently, I hear steps coming near, then a voice: "Robert, Robert! come h&re quid some one has had an accident!" I groaned to let them know I wa alive. The gate opened, and throug my half-closed eyes I saw Miss Pre.< ton and a man servant. Then a swee voice said: "Poor fellow! he's unconscious. Unci his collar, Robert, while I get soaa iro X IVi Uli t V . Robert obeyed, find Miss Presto brought the stimulant, pouring som ,through my clinched teeth. I felt ashamed of the part I wa playing, but considering the risks rux I would go through with it. "We must get him into the hou? Robert. Can we manage it. or had yo better fetch Sam?*' Robert thought it would be to much for his young missus, so, to sav further trouble. I gave a big sigh an slowly opened my eyes. "Where am I?" I gasped. "You've had a nasty fall: but let u help you into the house," said Mis Preston in a persuasive voice. "Thanks," I muttered, slowly at suming a sitting position. Then, a I attempted to lift my left arm, I gav a cry of pain?it was a genuine cry thi lime?my arm was useless. Miss Preston's voice trembled as sh asked: "Does your arm hurt? Is i broker.-?" "Yes, I think it is." I exclaimed, a with Robert's help I got to my fee It seemed to be the only serious dan age sustained, and I reviled myse! for being such a fool. Perhaps nothing would come of ! after all, but so far my scheme ha worked just as I should have desire* barring the broken arm. "Go for Dr. Burney at once. Robert. Then, with a blush, she said. "Will yo let me help yon across to the house?" Tailing my sound' arm. she assiste me across the lawn, and into a larc I room. Then she placed a comfortab! cliair for me near a low table, whei I could rest the broken limb. I'm afraid I'm putting you to a 1< of trouble/* I remarked. "Ob. don't think that: I'm pleased was at homo and able to give son: help. How did it happen?" "I was relying upon the brake 1 come safely down the hill, but unfo Innately it failed me. and before knew what bad happened. I collide with your gate post," I explainer looking down, not daring to meet h< clear, blue eyes. Robert soon returned with Dr. Bu ney, and after sundry groans on re part, the arm was set. "Yon come oft very lucky," said tl doctor; "a smaller thing than that hi smashed many a man's reck." "Yes, doctor, but you know the o. saying. 'Pools for luck.' " He did not guess how true it was ; my case. "Well, well! with a littieeare ax patieBceyea wtfl soon hare the iwej 5 your arm again. Are you staying In IrvingtoN?'' b "Yes. nt the hotel. I was going to * put a few days in vomul here, but as time's my own for a tew weeks I might as well stay longer and nurse this limb." lie promised to call at the hotel ibc _ following day and departed. ? An elderly lady entered the room with Miss Preston, who had evidently ? explained the accident to her. I handed them my card. She was a Mrs. Townscnd. aunt to Miss P?eston. They walked 10 the gate with me when e' I left. "Your machine shall be sent to your c" hotel.- Mr. Seaion: Pin afraid it will re11 quire a specialist." remarked Miss Preston, with a laugh. 11 "Let us know how your arm proie grosses. If you find time hangs heavily, 11 our small library is open to you. and * * at your service," remarked Mrs. Towne* send. I thanked them both, saying I was _ foiul of reading. As I walked slowly to the village my ** conscience again smote me. but I . stifled it. and determined to go through 1 with my adventure. A week passed, my arm was progressing favorably, and I bad duly re** ported to tbe ladies at "The Poplars," ? besides making good use of tbeir lihmrv Tt was reallv wonderful how * quickly I managed to read a book through, and liow often they had to be changed. Mrs. Townseml had-asked P. me to take afternoon tea with them -* on two occasions, and a close friendd ship, if nothing more, had sprung up between Miss Pfestdn and myself. It ^ was certainly more on my side. 6 One afternoon I strolled to "The Fope Lars*' to return a book. It was "GHy Mannering," wherein astrology is in,r troduc-ed. Miss Preston was in the L'" library, and I thanked her for the d book, asking her if she had read it. 5* "Yes! It is a favorite of mine. What l" do you think of it?" 't Seeing my opportunity to bring the d conversation round to astrology, I answered: k "Very interesting to believers in the e occult, but, of course, no one puts faith x in astrology nowadays." x Miss Preston colored slightly, saying: 0 "Well. I'm an exception then, for I 5 believe there's a great deal in it." "May I ask if you have known any - predictions to be verified?" I asked, d "Yes! I've known some to work out 0 very near, indeed." s "Very near only!" I said, with a >" laugh. d "But they may work out quite true - yet," and Miss Frcston blushed a deep <? red. e '*1 -wish some one hail forewarned me of my spill/' I remarked. She looked at me sharply, saying; u "It was predicted; I knew something y would happen?but how foolish of mel" and she stopped abruptly. ^ "No, no! Please, go on," I cried. "Tell me how it could have been pred dieted? Who knew that I was coming to Iivington?" "I don't mean that your name was mentionel, only your description and a s mishap." h "But who was the prophet?" I in5* quired. There was a silence as she toyed with a book on the table, o "Won't you excuse my curiosity, see? ing I'm the individual concerned?" I asked. n "You will have to be satisfied with a e fragment of the truth." she said, smiling, "and promise to be a good boy and s ask no more questions." l, I promised to be good, so she proceeded "Some weeks ago I had my horoscope u investigated, and must say the result was correct as far as character, health o and things of the past were concerned; e also some other events, have worked d out since, as foretold then. Now, for the month of June, of this year, the astrologist said I should strangely is come into contact with a llark gentleis man, probably through a mishap.

Union's first floral festival was held the past week, and in the beauty of the decorated vehicles, the number of participants in the parade and the great throng of sightseers present, it surpassed all expectations and has been pronounced by residents and visitors alike a great success with not a thing to mar the pleasure of the ocI casion. Union's hospitality has become proverbial, and on this occasion every attempt wa, made to make each visitor feel at home. * ? Flagged Train With Petticoat. The Southern Railway's bridge over Broad river, on the Spartanburg and Asheviiie line, about 70 miles north of. Columbia, was partially burned a few days ago. Passenger train No. 9, north-bound, was saved from running into the bridge by a negro who signalled with a red petticoat. The conductor and crew and voluntary pas | sengers formed i bucket brigade and J succeeded in subduing the flames, but not until half the bridge had been consumed. Trains for Asheville were temporarily run by way of Greenville to Spartanburg. The origin of the fire is unknown . * Escaped by Blanket Rope. Quite a sensation was caused in TValterboro recently when it was made l nown that R. A. Adams had escaped irorc jail. Adams was convicted for the murder of Henry Jaques and sentenced last June to be hanged. His sentence was stayed pending an appeal to the supreme court, which appeal was dismissed. Adams was to have been re-sentenced at the next term of court, which meets the first Monday in August. At an early hour of the morning when Gus Green was cairied to jail by Policeman Johnson, a rope of blankets was discovered hij ging from the window above the portico on the side of the jail. Upon investigation it was found that Adams and a negro, Jasper Stephens, incarcerated for larceny, had broken one of the iron bars and escaped. Deputy Sheriff Henderson immediately start| ed in pursuit. * No Books Kept. A Columbia dispatch says: For the past two weeks the legislative committee appointed by a special resolution, with Senator T. B. Butler, of Union, as chairman, has been conducting a rigid investigation into the affairs of Secretary of State J. T. Gantt's office. The oflice receives each year about ?25,000 in charter fees and fees of commissioned officers. The committee concluded the investigation and gave out a guarded statement, chiefly to the effect that nothing would be divulged until the legislature meets next year. The committee says: "So far as the general results are concerned, we find that there has been no bookkeeping (in the office), and ' our expert ' has gone over the vouchers in the office and carefully collected all of them, so that we now have a complete record of everything that has passed thiough the hands of the secretary of state." The committee mikes no charges whatever against the administration of the office, but in this public expression there is a singular absence of the usual arid perfunctory words of commendation to be found in the language of similar committees. The fiat asset tion "that there has been no bookkeeping" is almost sure to arouse si'krp comment and inquries throughout the state. * " * Trolley Lin? Projectors Meet. I The projectors of a trolley car line from Atlanta, Ga.. to Anderson, met in Atlanta.the past week and took steps for another survey of the proposed route. The line has been chartered by the secretary of state of Georgia and the men at the head of the company have already had a route surveyed. It is probable that therewill be some changes when the second survey is made. The trolley line will be 140 miles long, aad wilj. connect at Anderson with a trolley line from Gainesville, making the whole line 105 miles in length. This will be the longest trolley car line in the South. .. The meeting . was held in the law ' I IN THE DEATH GRAPPLE. . * Both Russians and Japs Suffered Frightful Losses at Vafangow.

The above news item leads The Atlanta Constitution to say editorially: "The announcement from Columbia j: that ex-Senator John L.

"At that time it was generally understood that Senator McLaurin's am- , bition was to secure a seat upon the , federal bench, and the charge was frequently made that he had been , given promise cf such a place by Pres ident McKinley. It was subsequently announced on authority that President j. Roosevelt had made a tender of place J in order to make good the McKinley , offer, but that Senator McLaurin had , declined. By that time, the South , Carolina leader of commercialism had either served out his senate term or it . was about to end. , "There was much discussion in Wash- , ington and South Carolina about the , reasons which prompted this "declina- , tion" of the place Mr. McLaurin had ( sought so eagerly. If, as stated, he ; becomes a candidate for congress again, there will certainly be much talk about this episode in his career, and a good many other questions will | be asked. Among these will be: With which party do von contemplate affiliating?" ( ) FINLAND GOVERNOR SHOT. BobrikofF, .

The assassin, a man named Si-hait mann, a lawyer and son of Senator ' Schaumann, immediately eoramirted suicide.

He placed the Russian *4 * casualties at at least 7,000. He saiys n * no soldiers in the world could withstand the Japanese as they have been fighting lately. Their artillery fire, he v ' claims, is marvelously effective. The Russians fought stubbornly, but were'' unable to withstand the enemy's dashitg persistency. Several hundred wounded Russians 'have been sent * j) north owing to a lack of hospitals and surgeons. All the available transportation has to be used for supplies at the expense of the sick and wounded. ' The Japanese buried most of the Rus- r > ; sian dead after the battle.
