"He had spread upon the ground a coarse
carpet OF peculiar texture about four feet wide
and six feet long. At his right stood small
earthen bowl and across his knees lay strange
looking musical instrument.
Having received the signal that all was
ready, he took the bowl in his hands and
turned the contents-a reddish, sand-like mix
ture-out upon the carpet. He mixed it about
with his fingers, apparently to show that 1t con-
tanned no concealed objects.
Replacing the sand in the bowl he stood it
in the center OF the carpet several feet in front
Of his knees, and covered it with small shawl,
first placing in the mixture several seeds of the
mango fruit. Then he played a weird air on
his pipe, swayed back and forth, and as he did
80 slowly took in each member Of the crowd
Of spectators with those marvellous eyes of his.
The swaying and pipe playing lasted two or
three minutes. Then he suddenly stopped and
raised one corner of the shawl.
I'VE saw several green shoots two or three
inches high. He replaced the shawl, played q
little more on his pipe and could have sworn
l saw tho shawl pushed three feet into the air.
Again he stopped and removed the shawl.
This time there was perfect tree two feet or
more in height. with long, slender, fiat leaves.
Leasing nudged me and l took my picture,
while he made n skeleton sketch.
"While We were watching this creation Of the
queer old man it seemed to vanish before our
eyes When it WAS gone he removed the bowl
and spread the shawl on the ground before
him. Then there was more music and more
swaying, more looking at the crowd. and as we
watched the dirty square OF cloth he had placed
on the ground we saw outlined beneath it some
moving object. AS we watched he grasped the
shawl by each of two corners and snatched it
from the ground.
upon the spot where it had rested but
moment before there sat the queerest dimpled
Indian baby that l had seen in my travels.
Leasing kept his nerve better than did
would have forgotten what was doing if he
had not reminded me.
II took the picture and he made his
sketch. The baby remained but moment be-
fore Mr.. Fakir recovered it with the shawl,
and, drawing knife, cut and slashed at the
spot where the infant sat- In another
instant he threw away the shawl and there was
nothing there.
I'VE had scarce time to recover from our
astonishment when the fakir drew from
under his knee ball of gray Irvine.
Taking the loose end between his teeth he,
with quick upward motion, tossed the ball
into the air.
'Instead of coming back to him it kept on
going up and up until out of sight and there
remained only the long swaying end. When
we looked down after trying to where the
ball had gone we were all astonshed to see
standing beside the fakir boy about six years
old. He had not been there when the ball was
tossed into the air, but he was there now, and
at word from the fakir he walked over to the
Irvine and began climbing it. good deal after
the fashion OF onkey climbing q grape vine

How a British Tourist Was Deceived by
an American Citizen

From the New York Herald.
81 just met a very distinguished man on Broad
way" said an English tourist lately Landed to
me the other day. 'He was member of some
order or other. I'm not sure whether it was
French or Italian. think he belongs to more
than one"
Ten minutes later met this distinguished
man, and his orders were neither French nor
German. He was q member of a BARRIERS pro-
tective association, an east side athletic club
and a dancing coterie.
list calls to mind the fact that one man out of
ten that are met on any of the upper thorough
fares wears badges of some sort or other. Most
OF the badges are small and some are rich and
costly in design, and as a rule they are worn
on the left lapel Of the coat where q boutton-
Mere usually appears.
