Squee, Palmist," which makes a great hit with him. He endeavors to persuade little Jeff to go in, saying, "Why bother our heads about the future, when we can go in here and have someone tell us all we expect?" After much persuasion, he finally induces little Jeff to go in with him, but much against the will of the latter. They each have their fortune told them, Jeff first, for Mutt is not the boy to tackle any game until poor little Jeff has been a victim himself. Well, little Jeff is told a most "beautiful dream," and that all he has to do is, simply "wish." His good luck prompts Mutt to go in the "queer" room and learn his fate. He does so, and what he gets is simply awful. "He is going to die young." In fact, "when he dies he is going to lose his breath." "Mme. Squee" even tries the game of "she loves me, she loves me not," with the rose, but it always comes out bad for poor Mutt. At the conclusion of the "séance (?)," she says, "$2.00, please," which Mr. Mutt has to "cough up," for such a "bum" fortune. Of course Mutt blames the whole affair on poor little Jeff. While they are arguing, Mutt suddenly sees an imaginary object in the air, and begins to lead little Jeff a hard chase, which ends with, "I thought I saw $2.00, please." The game of "she loves me, she loves me not," has made a strong impression upon poor Mutt, and he cannot resist trying it for himself, time and time again. Even the beautiful display in front of the florist's falls to wreck, a regular "shower" of plants, pots, etc. The broom rack in front of the furniture store is sacrificed to Mutt's "she loves me, she loves me not." Chairs and tables, in fact, furniture of every description, is reduced to a shapeless mass. The vegetable dealer comes into the game by his contribution of cabbages, potatoes, onions, eggplants, etc., and only when poor Mutt comes in contact with the butter and egg merchant's supply of eggs, does he become reconciled to his fate, "she loves me n-i-t," for though he fails to hear, "she loves Muh," the eggs stick to him, all of them, forevermore, in spite of his vociferous disclaimer, "eggs is 'rotten' luck."
