them that he would show them Venus for ten
cents One paid the money, and after gazing at
the sky without much satisfaction, focused the
instrument OH a private residence nine blocks
away. The planet sharp told him presently that
his time was up. He promptly handed out dol

him when that was used up. Sud
denly he roso up with q sigh, and re-
marked to his companion: "Billy, she pulled the
