He was calm, quiet and sedate, And said l1e'd tell my future fate. His house did smell of ginger and spice, And string fiddles tweaked once or twice. I caught poly-glot babble now and then, But everything was neat in the home of He had verandas, sun-blinds, flowers and chairs, Teak-wood tables and pillows of hair. Near by as Punch, the Chinese book, Untattered and torn, yet with foreign look. Above me I saw a phrase old but true, And once again, I read it through. Simply, it meant, as in Pekin, Chen. Happiness, the reward of virtue: miserv, the reward of sin Now, wise old Chen turned 'round and 'round, Then kot-owed solemnly to the ground, Next he placed in water, green as the sea, The silver leaves from the shen-yin tree: Now, your fortune true I'll tell. He looked at the leaves, then rang a bell. Instantly incense filled the air, And the gold leaves floated, pair by pair. You, a dancer great shall be, Travel far on many a sea. But, boy, friends of yours I behold, See them hid 'neath leaves of gold? I looked, and sure as fate, There stood Carlton, by a gate. He, our daring football star, Coach of players, is famed afar. Now a country scene, resembling You Bet, Here Josephine is a farmerette. Chen's scene changed to a clear Spring day, Wfith hotel and owner, I found, to be Ray. Me know alle well, True my fortune alway tell, Me know your friends, alle same. VVant me to telle, name for name? I smiled and smiled and then I thought, Surely his brain is quite o'er wrought. But when he pointed to another leaf, My thoughts did tumble to unknown grief. See, him show so big and great? 19 I
