'I know of e crystal gazer who might help you,' replied my friend. 'She is said to be quite good. S ell we visit nerr' 'I never believed in fortune tellers or crystal gszers, but I'm,wi1l1ng to try.'

The walls were covered with black silk, with curious designs of gold and silver worked into them- Ro one appeared except a tur- banned Indian who led us down a long hall into a room, dimly lighted by one s ell taper. In the center of the room.wes a smell table of shining ebony, upon which.1es an object covered with e square of velvet.

'I mnder if you can showrme there my old classmates are and what they are doing.F 'It sill be a pleasure,' she replied. 'Pleas be seeted.' e I seated myself and united nervously. Slowl she moved to the opposite side of the table and raised the imdvet. There I see a large roung crystal hall supported by a golden flame. 'Madam must keep her eyes on the crystal,' seid the queer looking figure. 'Concentrate on any person or persons, and they willa appear.'
