this time, uncle!
To-day l think I'll show you weak
minded young people how stronger

"Pooh!" said Lucy, fitting her small
nose Il may not know so much as you
do, but I'm not weak-minded, Uncle Boz"
You're not Ell? Well suppose l
undertake to prove that you are, or at
least to prove that my brain can con-
sciously influence your thoughts.
"O-ho, hypnotism!" exclaimed Fred.
''No, not exactly that, but-wen, III
show YOU Where's a pack of cards."
Here you are" and Fred handed out
pack from the table-drawer.
IAN right" said Uncle Bob. Lucy,
I'll take you first, as you challenged me.
Sit opposite me at the table, please. Fred,
this time you may be merely an on

Then Uncle Bob threw all the cards
on the table face up, and shuff1ed them
about helter-skelter. Before we go
further" he said, g will write something
on bit of paper and give it to Fred for
safe-keeping.
So saving, Uncle Bob tore off a bit of
the margin of a newspaper, wrote some
thing on it, folded it small, and asked Fred
to stow it securely away in his pocket.
This done, he turned to Lucy again.
Now, my girl, here are all the fifty
two cards spread out between us. In
accordance with the game, you must
choose one of the colors. Will you have
black or red?"
BLACK, said Lucy promptly
Very well, wanted you to choose
black That leaves me the red. l will
pick them out and we will discard the
black ones. Help me to do this"
Quickly the colors were separated, the
black ones gathered in a pack and
handed over to Fred to be out of the way,
and then the game went on.
Now" said Uncle Bob, again give
you a choice. That is, you think you
have a choice, but really l so influence
your mind that you are obliged to choose
according to my mental dictation. But
say which you will have, hearts or dia-
monds."
Lucy hesitated. She felt sure she was
making free choice, and yet Uncle
Bob looked at her piercingly, as though
compelling her to do as he willed.
Hearts," she said at last.
Hearts it is" said her uncle gai1y
Wen gather up the diamonds and pass
them over to Fred with the other dis
cards" This done, he spread out the
thirteen hearts between them, and said:
There is an odd number; please pick
out one, so it will be even But mind,
you must take the one l will you to-"
Again Lucy determined that it was all
nonsense, and of course she could choose
whichever card of the thirteen she
wished, but she felt her uncle's eye upon
her and, as she said afterward, she felt
impelled to choose the five-spot.
Just the one 1 wanted you to choose"
said Uncle Bob, with an air of great
satisfaction, and he handed the five of
hearts to Fred.
Lucy" he went on, 'here are now
twelve hearts left. Select six-the six

With an air of great bravado, Lucy
drew toward her the ace, king, nine, four,
three and two.
