on Sunday evening. Bishop was in the
city on his bridal tour, and ii became
noised about town that he intended to
be present and expose some of her
tricks. Whether or not II was simply
clever advertising scheme will perhaps
never be known, but the rumor had the
effect of drawing one of the largest
audiences over seen in the house. The
mind reader and his bride were there,
occupying seats quite close TO the stage

Struggling his shoulders now and then

familiar illusion of calling out the num-
bcrs of bills held in the hands of some
one in the audience while the per-
former was enclosed in the cabinet was
tried, and several times successfully.
Bishop was on his feet in an instant,
and the house was as quickly in an up.
roar lie took from his pocket big
roll Of bills, and In loud voice offered
TO PRESENT them to Miss Fay If she
would give the correct aggregate
amount, the money TO be counted by
some disinterested person. In mo.
mcnt the manager rushed over to where
Bishop stood, and Miss Fay was on the
stage. The three were all talking at
once. and EVERYONE in the house com
menced TO yell--it was pandemonium.
AT last a little quiet was restored and
the two men stood face to face. each

other if he could name the amount.
Neither could do it, neither tried; the
house saw through the whole thing; u
policeman made Bishop sit down, and
