All was quiet for a few minutes, then Madam Zucca spoke softly: Madam is going to see some of her friends during her travels. She is much impressed by what she has been told, but Madam Zucca's crystal does not show what is not true. You shall soon, see. Good-day, Madam. . ANNA REA WEBSTER. Knowledge ls Knowledge For A' That fWith Apologies to Burnrj Is there for lack of knowledge That hings his head an' a' that? The ignorant one we pass him by- We dare be dumb for a' that! For a' that, an' a' that, Our hate of lessons, an, ay thatg The goal for which we all aim Requires knowledge for a' that. What tho' on hard lessons we dig, English, civics an' a' that, ' After we're through them We feel rather big, 'Cause we've learned something fora' that. For a' that, an' a' that, After the hard work an' a' that, We enjoy our pleasures much more- 'Cause we've accomplished something for a' that. You've seen young lads in the town Who are college boys an' a' thatg Theylve flunked out in the roun', Just failures for a' that. For a' that an' a' that, Their lack of pride an' a' that, The boys of sense and ambitious mind, They profit by a' that. Then let us not mope when we should hope To have good lessons an' a' that, And we're sure to Win out in the bout From those fussy ones an' a' that, For a' that, an' a' that, Mark my word for a' that, That those who study diligently Will enjoy life for a' that.

The lady with whom she is conversing is Mrs. Shella Williams Bateman. She is assisting her husband as postmaster in the Vernonia office. The letter which Miss Shipley has received is from Miss Ruth Holaday, who is a high school teacher in Hawaii. Uhladam, your friends seem to be a very intellectual group, but my crystal will tell me no more today. If you will call again I can tell you more some other time. I walked from the room in a daze. Could it be possible that this woman had told me the truth about all of my old friends, for indeed they were my friends, since they were members of the graduating class of 1927. , The next day I went down to the wharves with the faint hope of seeing either Wilburn or Norman. Sure enough, I saw them both. They were much surprised to see me. They said that a few months before they had seen Kenneth Whitsell and his wife, Gladys Krinick Whitsell. Gladys was at last realizing her dream of traveling. Kenneth, who was a skilled physician, had been spending his vacation in Europe and the Orient. While in Paris they had chanced to meet Amy Hughes and Wayne Hall. Amy was still studying music, and Wayne was making a wonderfully successful lecture tour. Her success, it was said, was largely due to a well modulated voice and strong emotional powers. It was several days before I had leisure to visit Madam Zucca again, but when I did I found her as before, sitting before her crystal in the mysterious room. As soon as I was seated she began: Madam went to see her friends, I saw her in my crystal talking to them on the Wharves. Madam learned of other friends, too. In my crystal I see the same small town, and near it a large farm. The owner of the farm is Percy Bergerson. His wife, Louise Schmidlin Ber- gerson, teaches the district school near their home. Ah, Madam, the beautiful country! I see sunshine, orange blossomsg it is your State of California. There is a large store in a prospering town and on the sign over the door are the words 'Skaggs' Safeway Groceryf Can Madam think of any connection between herself and this ? I thought for a moment, then I remembered the words of Harry Hixon: I'm not going on to school. I'm going to work for Skaggs, and maybe I'll be transferred to California. Evidently he had reached his highest ambition. Ah! Music, magic, mirth, dancers swaying to the haunting melodies of a wonderful orchestra. Conspicuous among the members of the orchestra is Norman Engen, a banjoist of great renown. I see him playing here, there, and all over the country. So different is the picture which I now see. I see-I see--chickens, hun- dreds of them. It must be what you Americans call a chicken ranch. The owner is very carefully gathering the eggs. The name is Richard Peterson. Such a mixture that I cannot tell. It looks as though the equilibrium of the world had been disturbed. Now it begins to take shapeg it is an enor- mous crowd which seems to be very much excited. Why, it is a theater and the people are applauding someone, a young man who seems to have achieved success. He is a blonde, and beside him is a smaller, darker man. The small man is the author of the play, 'The Beloved Sinnerf It is Lewis Louden, and the blonde, the leading man in the play, is John Wardle. Gorgeousl Wonderful! Such creations I have never seen before. Styles, Madam, tailored and dress. It is a style show, and the little dark woman Pug: N inetnn
