Everybody was still for minute, cal
culating. They looked at each other
with interrogation-marks in their eyes.
They were up against it.
Relieve the suspense" they demanded
at last
We'll" remarked the man" :" if you
take o and n and E from it, don't that
leave"
Wow, wowl" shouted the group.
The Wise Guy began to feel more COM
Portable, seeing that there were others
who didn't know it all He even mus
tered nerve enough to try again. That
wasn't so bad" he said Condescend-
ingly, and now, with your kind per-
mission, I'd like to ask which are the
strongest letters in the alphabet"
Answers came tunbling down all
around him. They were such as STR
O-N-G and FORCE and others like
that; but he shook his head The
group began to look upon him with sus-
picion. They knew there were such
things in this line of work as gags and
answer1ess conundrums. But the Wise
Guy never wavered. He knew what he
was talking about. Hewas growing sassy.
You give it up?" he asked, as if he
knew they would have to.
At that moment the co1ored kid who
rides on mail-wagon to hold the horse
broke in. 4 knows, boss" he said,
popping up his hand like schoo1-boy.
I" Oh, you do, do your said the Wise
Guy with supercilious scorn. Suppose
you tell us, then"
"Dey's MALL WAGON, Gaze
don't de mail-wagon carry all de 1etters?"
The bunch applauded the boy; but it
was too strenuous for him and he lodged
into the street. The Wise Guy was pro-
testing vigorously. The bunch stopped
to listen.
That amt the answer at ALL" he
yelled at them. The mai1-wagon don't
carry all the letters. There's lots of
them deposited here at the station and
sent out that never see a wagon. Don't
you guys know your business?"
1t occurred to them that he might be
right
Well, what is the answer?2 they in
CURED sheepish1y.
The five strongest letters" the Wise
Guy replied, bracing up Bit, are P and
o and S and T and A and G and E. They

The others retired into their shell.

Presently one of them emerged cautiously.

GAY" inquired the Wise Guy of group
y of 1etter-carriers waiting for de-
1ayed mail, do any of you Pods know
anything about the alphabet"
Il know it don't carry as many letters
as I do" responded a kicker promptly.
And there amt any dead-letters in
it" Clipped in a lively chap.
And there amt any of 'em over
weight, and you don't have to put up
cash to get EN- out and deliver em on
credit TO the house-maid," growled one
who looked as if his dollars stuck closer
to him than stamp to an envelop.
And there amt any of 'em special
deliveries nor registered" said another,
who seemed to have troubles of his own.
The Wise Guy began to wake up with
this light shining in his face.
Jaw, come off" he said, Disguised
with the display of unexpected knowl-
edge. 4 didn't mean any of those. You
talk like a vawdyville trouP. What l
wanted to know was what letters taken
away from the alphabet would leave it
dead broke" and he looked down on his
fellows haughtily.
The bunch began to wobb1e. Their
speciality didn't run in that line. Be-
sides, they didn't want to push the Wise
Guy too hard, because he had influence.
You give it up?" he went on in
hurry.
They nodded.
The five that breaks it to lose"
smiled their quizzer, I" is NJ and o and N
and E and Y"
"Wow!" they responded, all but one
old fellow.
Just the same" he said, it has c
and A and S and H left, and, by cracky!
when you've got that, you amt broke
by blamed sight"
That seemed to turn the laugh on the
Wise Guy.
"P'raps," said the mi1d-voiced one
soothingly, you know how many letters
are left in the alphabet if you take one
from it?"
Maybe you think I don't know how
many letters there are in the alphabet"
he responded tartly. We'll, l do, and
if you take one away there's twenty-five
left"
The bunch was cautious and didn't
cheer this apparently accurate reply.
They didn't know what the other fellow
might have up his sleeve.
DO you want to bet there's twenty

question.
The Wise Guy hedged. IF I amt

Is tinged with a sad mistake,
The sauce" she gives him is lots more

Than his mother used to make.

A MATTER OF MIND
Since the 1ong-sought icy Pole
Is an imaginary goal,
Why can't Peary, in his quest for that

Just imagine he has got
That imaginary spot
