salutations to the lowly. He smiled
nut Square as they strobe past purple
with indignation.
"Yeh,' Wing would call to them in a
neighborly sort of way by which he
intended to convey to them that they
would always find him pleasant and
companionable on all occasions
For some reason or other his rich
neighbors did not at once patronize
him. A week went by-then ten days
then two weeks. and not sign of
collar or of cuff from the occupants of
his contiguous mansions. Wing was
unprepared for this. Down where he
had come from men never wore
collar more than a week at a time,
and cuffs seldom went beyond ten
days. And yet, these rich men kept
on wearing them-perhaps a month
at least. But then, he reasoned with
himself, they wore their collars until
they took a bath. So he concluded
that he had two more weeks to wait,
and he waited patiently.
1t must not be supposed that all this
time p. Huckleberry was idle. Not
that he was actively hustling around
himself, but he sat on his three legged
chair and watched red-faced million
aires make futile efforts to disturb his
calm and move his feelings. They did
neither.
He suggested mildly to the gentle
man that the lot belonged to him and
a man had a complete right to do with
his own just as he pleased. This argu-
ment was completely insurmountable.
They consulted counsel at some eX-
pense but without result. The counsel
were compelled to agree with Mr.
Huckleback.
When the cash offers of the million
aires reached twenty thousand, Mr..
Huckleback's eyes glistened. But he
still remained unmoVed. Wing Shee
continued to wash and iron and hang
out. On Sundays his Chinese friends
visited him in hordes, and held tea par
ties on Wing Shee's lawn. They did
this for but two Sundays and then
Wing Shoes neighbor, Haggerty, could
stand it no longer. He went down to
Huckleback and offered him thirty
thousand for his land, provided he
would take his old laundry off the
place. Huckleback closed at once. He
signed a deed, took his pay in bills,
and rugged up his moving apparatus in
front of Wing Shoes place.
TITS a dern good thing" muttered
Huckleback unto himself, that I've got
some place to move to-
He considered that it was so derned
good that he couldn't keep it to him
self. Therefore, he hung out a little
sign below that of Wing Shee:

down to his house after the show and
look them over. Then the performance
commenced, in which Tommy, as the
assistant, carried off the honors
among the townspeople.
Then when the presents had been
given out. he and Arturio walked
down the village street to the Has
kins' little home, where Mrs. Haskins,
not at all disturbed by Tommy's long
absence, greeted them pleasantly.
Tommy took the stranger up to his
bedroom where the little camp bed
stead was the only piece of furniture
not covered with magical apparatus.
Tommy had most of the conventional
tricks and really astonished Arturio
by the quickness of working some OF
them. But what quickly caught his
attention was some mystic pasteboard
in one corner on her work table.
What is this?" he asked, examir-
ing it curiously.
Tommy blushed as If he had been
caught in the commission of some
crime.
ut is a sort of model" he said hes
itatingfily, of an illusion. 1t is like the
vanishing lady, only l never saw it
come quite that way. l made this
thing up out of pasteboard to see If it
would work and it seems to be all
right
ARTURO laughed as he shifted the
different bits of pasteboard with a
ready appreciation of the mechanical
principles and power. He turned to
Tommy with a bright eye.
1T looks,' he said, las If you had
hit upon a new idea in this sort of
work. l should like to try it and see
how it comes out. Do you want to
sell it?'
Tommy hlushed redlv.
you gave me those coin tricks" he
said awkwardly. 1T wouldn't be fair
to ask for money"
ARTURO shook his head.
F'Nor would it be fair" he retorted,
'to take this without money. Those
coin tricks / showed you were COM
mon property. You'd have seen them
during the course of the performance
at any rate. This trick of yours is
absolutely new and / can sell it for
considerable money If you are willing
to let it go. I will pay you $l0e after
to-night's performance, and I don't
mind telling you that I can possibly
get two or three times as much for it
from one of the big magicians. You
need $50 for your business college
course. Better take the hundred and
put 1t away for that"
That night the entire Haskins fam
| fly witnessed Arturios performance,
and as they were walking home after
| the performance Tommy proudly eX-
hibited two $50 bills.
Now" he said as he gave them into
his fathers keeping, Uncle Tom can't
say that I'm wasting my time with
my magic"
And Uncle Tom, who was Tommy's
richest uncle, was so proud of his
nephews achievement that he gave
Tommy another hundred in testimony
| of that fact.

TOMMY, THE MAGICIAN.

Tommy Haskins stood in rapt contem-
plation before the gaudy poster depict
ing Arturio, "the marvellous wizard of
the West" surrounded by numerous
devils exceedingly scarlet in compost
ton with whom the mysterious Ar
turio appeared to be on very intimate
terms.
A magician's announcement bore the
same fascination for Tommy that a
circus poster excites in the breast of
the average boy. Tommy, Of course,
liked circuses. But the tumblers and
leapers, the herd of twenty-five ele-
plants and all of the other mysteries
that had ornamented Browns barn last
summer were nothing to him in COM
parison with this gaudy poster herald
ing the advent Of a tenth rate magic
clan; for Tommy's most cherished pos

1t was too true. For Mr. Huckleback,
with a deep laid purpose, at the same
time that he had purchased the first
lot, had also purchased another lot
further down, and paid, not money, but
a mortgage covering the former. Now
to avoid complications. he at once paid
this mortgage off, and thereupon be-
came the owner in fee of the second lot,
without any incumbrance of any kind
against it. And the only difference be-
tween the vacant lot, No. IS Chestnut

chased, was, that whereas the first lot
was surrounded by millionaires. the
second was surrounded by multi-mil-

His uncongenial reverie was dis

through the window and struck him in
the face. He caught a passing glimpse
of one of Uncle Sans public servants
and he maligned him in a manner en-
tirely satisfactory to himself. The

in kind. Mr. Huckleback finally stoop-

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Selection of Fifteen Delegates to
the State Convention at DeS
MOineS July lSt

The republican county convention
at the Grand opera house on Saturday
afternoon was attended by delegations
from all but few of the different
townships of the county, in spite of
the busy season and the lack of inter
esting issues. The convention was
called to order by chairman j. j.
Marsh, who nominated Prof. E. l..
Coffeen for temporary chairman. L.
B. Whitney was chosen secretary and
H. j. Green assistant. Upon motion
the chairman appointed from each
supervisors district represented as
committee on credentials, as follows:
W. K. Riggs, E. @. Walker, A. 7. Hol-
ton, E. G. Bailey. After deliberation
this committee reported delegations
present from all the townships and
wards except Washington, Jackson,
Frankville. Sumner, Madison, Lin
coin, Orleans, and the second ward,
Decorah. F. A. Masters was seated
as delegate from the second ward,
VIM. Summers from Washington, Geo.
M. Anderson from Frankville, and A.
J. Cratsenberg from Burr Oak. The
temporary organization was then
made permanent. On motion the
delegates present from the different
supervisors districts selected the fol-
lowing as a committee to nominate
delegates to the state convention: o.
o. Lomen, John B. Kaye, A. j. Crat-
senberg, A. L. Holton, H. j. Green.
