Alerding for half hour. The priest
told the prestidigitateur that nothing
would please him more, and so for hair
an hour the clever slight-of-hand man
was making cards disappear around
the room. pulling rabbits out or vases
and the like. Father Alerding was aple>
to understand all except one trick, ana
this one has been mystery to him 10
this day. The magician asked the
priest If he had half dollar, and on
producing ii Father Alerding was told
to put 1t in his own coat pocket. The
professor proceeded to do other tricks,
and presently he asked Father Aler-
ding to examine the coin, which the.
priest did, finding that the half dollar
had been transformed into big, cop

verted the money back into the ori-
ginal half dollar but as he did not
come In contact with the priest, Fa'
ther Alerding was much mystitied.
