"Thank you for your endorsement," said Cassandra, with a nod at Helen. "With such testimony I cannot see how you can refrain from taking my advice in this matter; and I tell you, ladies, that this man Kidd has made his story up out of whole cloth; the men of Hades had no more to do with our being here than we had; they were as much surprised as we are to find us gone. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADORSEMENT SAID CASSANDRA WITH A NOD AT HELEN WITH SUCH TESTIMONY I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN REFRAIN FROM TAKING MY ADVICE IN THIS MATTER AND I TELL YOU LADIES THAT THIS MAN KIDD HAS MADE HIS STORY UP OUT OF WHOLE CLOCK THE MEN OF HADES HAD NO MORE TO DO WITH OUR BEING HERE THAN WE HAD THEY WERE AS MUCH SURPRISED AS WE ARE TO FIND US GONE
p; ninety per cent of the Trojans died suddenly, and Æneas, grabbing up his family in one hand and his gods in the other, went yachting for several seasons, ultimately settling down in Italy. All of this could have been avoided if the Trojans would have taken the hint from my prophecies. They preferred, however, not to do it, with the result that to-day no one but Helen and myself knows even where Troy was, and we’ll never tell.” “It is all true,” said Helen, proudly. “I was the woman who was at the bottom of it all, and I can testify that Cassandra always told the truth, which is why she was always so unpopular. When anything that was unpleasant happened, after it was all over she would turn and say, sweetly, ‘I told you so.’ She was the original ‘I told you so’ nuisance, and of course she had the newspapyruses down on her, because she never left them any sensation to spring upon the public. If she had only told a fib once in a while, the public would have had more confidence in her.”  TROY HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MAP NINETY PER CENT OF THE TROJANS DIED SUDDENLY AND AENEAS GRABBING UP HIS FAMILY IN ONE HAND AND HIS GODS IN THE OTHER WENT YACHTING FOR SEVERAL SEASONS ULTIMATELY SETTLING DOWN IN ITALY ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE TROJANS WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE HINTS OF MY PROPHECIES THEY PREFERRED HOWEVER NOT TO DO IT WITH THE RESULT THAT TO DAY NOBODY BUT HELEN AND MYSELF KNOWS WHERE TROY EVEN WAS AND WILL NEVER TELL IT IS ALL TRUE SAID HELEN PROUDLY I WAS THE WOMAN WHO WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF IT ALL AND I CAN TESTIFY THAT CASSANDRA ALWAYS TOLD THE TRUTH WHICH IS WHY SHE WAS ALWAYS SO UNPOPULAR WHEN ANYTHING THAT WAS UNPLEASANT HAPPENED AFTER IT WAS ALL OVER SHE WOULD TURN AND SAY SWEETLY I TOLD YOU SO SHE WAS THE ORIGINAL I TOLD YOU SO NUISANCE AND OF COURSE SHE HAD THE NEWS FOR PYRISES DOWN ON HER BECAUSE SHE NEVER LEFT THEM ANY SENSATION TO SPRING UPON THE PUBLIC IF SHE HAD ONLY TOLD A FIB ONCE IN A WHILE THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE HAD MORE CONFIDENCE IN HER
