How He Told,

Many things which at first seem
perfectly simple are found on more
careful reflection to be full of mys-
terry, and, on the other hand, things
which to begin with look quite in
expIicabIe sometimes turn ont to
be simple as be.
When a certain lawyer first
opened an Office in Portland, says
an exchange, he astonished his
friends by telling them that, ninety
nine times out of hundred, when
he heard footsteps on the stairs he
could tell whether or not the per-
son was coming to his Office.
On being questioned az to how
be did it, he said that he always
made up hia mind that they were
not coming to his office, and ninety

POWER OF A PLUGGED NICKLE.

A tall man with a dark mus
tache and imperial got into south
bonnd Broadway car at Twenty.
second street the other day and
took seat about midway Dp the
car. When the conductor came
for his fare the man fished nickel
from his pocket. The conductor
looked at the coin sharply and pas
sed it back again.
"What,s the matter 7" asked the
man.
It's plugged" said the cob ductor.
The man put pair of eyeglasses
on his nose and critically surveyed.
the nickel. He found that the con
ductor was correct, and handed
him a good nickel. He was about
to put the bad one back into his
pocket when be noticed that every
one ir the car was looking at him.
He turned very red, hesitated, and
finally dropped the nickel slyly Oh
the floor. Every one saw him do
1t but every one tried to appear as
If he didn't notice it. The nickel
lay on the floor in plain sight, but
no one would look at it. All seem
ed 10 think that they would appear
as if they coveted it If they did.
Every one seemed quite uncOm for
table. Two or three men tried to
read, but they couldn't concentrate
t. cir attention on their newspapers.
The conductor passed over the
nickel once or twice, and tried not
to notice it.
At Fourteenth street a man got
in and was about to sit down, when
he espled the nickel. He picked
it up and tried to hand 1t to an old
gentleman with a red face and a
white mustache. saying, "YOu
dropped this, sir.'
GNO. I dldn'tr SAID the old gen.
tleman with laugh.
Then everybody laughed, as If
greatly relieved. The man who
had picked up the nickel looked
closely at it, turned bright criemson
and dropped it again. Everybody
saw hin, but whichever way lie
looked he saw only averted faces.
The people would glance sIyly at
him from the corners of their eyes,
and then look away again very
quickly. Again no one looked at
the nickel, although every man
there knew to a nicely lst where
it lay. 1t stayed ia the same place
on the floor until the car stopped
Just above Chambers street. Here
the conductor told the passengers
to take the next car, as that one
going TO switch off and go up town
again. AS they left the car all the
passengers took a last glance at
the plugged nickel, but no one
touched It. 1t started up town
again, and all the p ssengers went
down town with that nickel weigh
ing heavily on their mInds.-Ne'c
