''This Is the explanation of the for
mu1a: The key of the solution IS the
number of counters remaining on the
table after the designated ones have
been placed in the boxes.
''You see, l always opened my eyes and
turned back to the table before L an
nounced which boxes contained the balls.
Of course l could not see into the closed
boxes, but / gathered my information
from the counters on the table left out
of the twenty-four. There will always
be left either one, two, three, five, SIX or
seven. By means of the formula we
know that if one counter is lett on
the table, the red ball IS in a and the
white in b; if two counters are left, the
red ball is in B and the white in a.; if
three are left, the red is in \ and the
white in G.: and so on. The blue ball
is not considered in the formula, because,
having learned the position of the red
and white balls, the blue one is of course
in the other box. The formula is not
difficult to learn, and a little practice Will
make YOU adept at the game.

four times as many counters as are there
already"
Lucy and Fred did exactly as they
were told.
Are the boxes tightly c1osed?" asked
Uncle Bob.
On being told they were, he opened
his ewes, turned around and walked to
the table.
''The blue ball IS in box A" he said,
'athe red ball is in box B, and the white
ball is in box G"
"Wen!" exclaimed Lucy, cts worth
getting boxes and balls together to learn
such a trick as that! Please do it
again.
Again and again they tried it, putting
the balls in different boxes each time.
Every time the directions as to the
counters were the same. Every time,
when they had finished obeying the
directions, Uncle Bob came back to the
table, gazed at the tightly covered boxes
and announced which ball was in each.
Il believe you see them through the
pasteboard!" said Fred.
''No, my eyes aren't N-rays, returned
his uncle. But I'll tell you how to do
it-on1v / warn you the explanation is
more complicated than the trick 1t all
depends on this formula, which you may
have with you on bit of paper and can
look at while YOU are turned away from
the table or may commit to memory.
The trick is much more effective if you
can manage it without looking at your
paper. This is the formula:

hands. A minute so cashed and in the
bank is worth two hours in the hand.
Why don't you jump out on the walk and
dance yourself into a job?"
The man out of employment began to
think that perhaps the advice which
was being given him so freely on all
sides was more or less sound and worthy
of being followed. So he faced the winds
that scurried up and down the thorough
fares, and walked and walked, and
determined that while he had much
supcrfluous flesh to lose, there was no
such thing to lose as supertluous hope.
Whether the tempo of his pace was
presto or adagio, his determination to
find employment and be on the crest
of prosperitys wave remained unabated.
And one day the object of his quest
was realized, and he went home to say

I'M glad we're having such long
storm, said Lucy, looking contentedly
out of the window at the pouring rain;
1t gives us so many days to have fun
with Uncle Bob. What's the game to-
day, uncle?"
"Well, you children seem to think
my supply of tricks is ineXhaustible.

or dominoes or mental calculations, but
something altogether new"
"Why, Fred" said Lucy, "you can't
do a trick without something to do it
with"
Il know of a good parlor trick" said
Uncle Bob thoughtfully. Its a first
rate one, but you'll have to hunt around
for some things to do it with.
"What sort of things?" asked Lucy
eagerly.
."Oh, nothing difficult to procure.
First you must get three empty boxes
with covers
"How's this?" said Fred, dumping out
a few last bits of candy and holding up
the empty box.
That's ali right for one" returned
Uncle Bob.
The checker box and the ''parcheesi !"
box were quickly emptied, and thus
three were provided.
