away, and when he repeated the trick
twice, and his arm showed Abraham
Lincoln's name and next Theodore
Roosevelts, the young people decided
that he was true wizard.
Uncle Bob would not explain to the
whole party how he did these tricks, but
he afterward told Fred and Lucy
As to the pennies, the whole point lay
in keeping the lot on the marble table
as long as possible. This kept them
cold. The one that was passed from
hand to hand and marked grew heated
from its contact with warm flesh, and as
the metal retains heat for several min
utes it was easy for Uncle Bob, although
blindfolded, to detect the warm coin
among the cold ones.
The other trick was one of the sort
Fred called frauds. Although the chill
dren spoke different names, Uncle Bob
wrote George Washington on every slip.
Thus, the paper taken from the hat was
sure to contain that name Then, when
he left the room apparently to get the
papers, he wrote on his arm the name,
using for a pen a wooden toothpick
dipped in milk. This dried immediately
and was invisible, and when later he
rubbed the ashes on it, it suddenly
appeared in black letters Each time it
was of course necessary to provide fresh
papers and write a new name in milk
on his arm
" But suppose no one had said George
Washington" said Fred, as he thought
it over.
There never vet was q crowd of DeoD1a
who would omit that name from a list of
famous Americans" said Uncle Bob.
Then the other times fixed upon other
popular heroes, and if the names had not
been mentioned at first | should have
kept on asking for more names until they
were chosen. AS to the writing in milk,
that's a good trick, because if done care
fully it never fails -

mad, SO that this was no wonder.
Not until early in September could
Caldwell bear the sea -voyage, and even
then he managed it by main strength for
the sake of the opening night of "Tete-
a-tete," already billed in three colors.
Excepting for charming face which
he passed once or twice at the springs
at ST. Myon and worshiped because it
reminded him vaguely of Miss Arnold,
and house at Chateldon that looked
like a man-o'-war out for a walk, the
entire face of France impressed Reeve
as a desert. He was unspeakably glad
when they set foot in New-York at last
and he turned the key in Caldwell's
apartment the very day of the premier
Two hours afterward Wyndwynner
came to the hotel to see them The
manager was a pale nauve tint, though
he was doughtily predicting that the
stars in their courses would be humming
at least three of the Tete-a-tete" lyrics
by midnight.
by the way, Reeve asked him,
grasping at straws of unconcern, that

the summer-did you ever hear any

Wyndwynner looked blank. Ar

body like it. If you'd see what a bunch
of carved wood we've got for chorus
By the way" he added, look in on me,
will you, awhile before eight? I'd like
to have you meet Miss Elm"
But Caldwell, still limp from a par
ticularly rough passage, did no more
than slip in back somewhere just before
the overture, and it was Reeve alone
whom Wyndwynner marshaled to the
dressing-room of the star with hurried
word or two left confronting the woman
who was to make or mar Tete-a-tete."
And until that moment the truth had
not crossed Reeves mind.
Her maid was taking some roses from

uncle to do some tricks at their party.
So, after the young people were assem-
bled, he good-naturedly began.
First he cleared the books and pic
lures from a small handicapped table,
and threw upon it about two dozen
pennies These he quickly rearranged,
until all lay with the head sides up.
Now, I'll turn my back, he said,
while one of you selects one penny and
removes it from the rest" Uncle Bob
turned his back and closed his eyes,
while one of the young guests took a
penny from the lot on the table.
Very WE'LL" he said, turning round,
now l want every one of you children
TO look at that cent carefully, so you'll
know it again Note the date and con-
dition of it, and then several of you may
scratch marks ON it with pin or pen
knife, so you can recognize it beyond all
doubt"
The penny was passed from one to
another, all scrutinized it, two or three
BOYS scratched ma ks on it, and at last
Ben Peterson, holding it tightly clasped
in his hand, announced that they were
all satisfied they would know it again.
Then Uncle Bob took a hat, swept
into it about half the pennies on the
table, invited Bob to drop in the marked
penny, and then dropped in the rest from
the table. Then he shook the hat until
the jingling pennies were well mixed,
and asked the children to think hard
about the particular penny they had
chosen, so that he might find it. He
then allowed himself to be tightly blind
4 ,,,+O he
hat drew it out again in moment, hold
ing penny.
Here YOU are!" he said, and to
Ben's astonishment he handed out the
marked cent.
Several times he repeated this trick,
each time leaving out the previously
marked coins; but none of the youngsters
could guess how it was done, for the
marks were not deep enough to be felt
by the fingers; indeed, sometimes they
were merely pencil marks.
Next, Uncle Bob seated himself at
the little table. Each of you" he said
will please think of the name of some
man celebrated in American history"
While the children were thinking,
Uncle Bob left the room for a moment,
and returned with a pencil and numerous
small slips of paper
Tell me the names, and 1 will write
them down." he said, "and if anyone
else speaks the name you had thought
of you must choose another"
So one said Abraham Lincoln and
Uncle Bob wrote rapidly on a paper
slip and dropped it into a hat. Another
said Theodore Roosevelt, another George
Washington, another General Lee, and
so on. Each time Uncle Bob wrote on
a paper, folded it and dropped it into
the hat.
Then, holding the hat carefully, he
asked the children to select one of their
own number to pick out slip.
So Bessie Morton picked out a slip,
and hid it carefully in her hand.
Pass it around" said Uncle Bob,
so that all may see it, and remember
the name on it, but don't speak it or
let me know what it is.
The name proved to be George Wash
ington, and each child read it, and then

FRANK WITH THE ASSESSOR
Well-to-Do Refoymer's Wife Exposes Her Husbands Financial
 Status.

Along with the tax discussion that comes with the annual payment of taxes is a story of vigorous old reformer who used to live out in the country not far from Ottawa, and whose life in Franklin county has been long agita- tion against corruption-in other peo- pie.
 The old man, according to the Ottawa Herald, had accumulated competence by the exercise of shrewd business deal ings among his neighbors and others, and was content at times to let himself be pointed out as model of success. He owned large property. but 1t was never noticed that his estate loomed up large when the assessor came around. One day, some years ago, according to his story, the assessor visited the home in the old fellows absence and had his talk with the wife instead of the man himself. The wife knew of no reasons why the same talk that was offered to other people should not be delivered to the assessor and with pardonable pride she recited correct list of her husbands

CHAPTER XXI.

In the whlrl and excitement fol-
 lowing the startling outcry from the
 flats, all Fort Frayne was speedily
 involved. The guard came rushing
 through the night, Corporal Shannon
 stumbling over a prostrate form
 .ne sentry on Number Six, gagged
 and bound. The steward shouted
 from the hospital porch that Eagle
 Wing, the prisoner patient, had
 escaped through the rear window, despite it's height above the sloping
 ground. A little ladder, borrowed
 from the quartermaster's corral, was found a moment later. An h. dian pony, saddled Sioux fashion, was caught running, riderless, to- ward the traders back gate his horsehair bridle torn half way from his shaggy head. Sergeant Crabb, waiting for no orders from the ma jor, no sooner heard that Moreau was gone than he rushed his stable guard to the saddleroom, and in 15 minutes had. not only his own squad, but half a dozen "casuaf' troopers circling the post in search of the trail, and in less than half an hour was hot in chase of two fleeing horsemen. dimly seen ahead through the starlight. across the snowy wastes. That snowfall was the Sioux's undoing. Without it the trail would have been invisible at night. With it. the pursued were well-nigh hopeless from the start. Precious time had been lost in cir cling far out south of the post besore making for the ford whither Crabb's instinct sent him at once to the end that he and two of his fellows ploughed through the foaming waters barely 500 yards behind the chase and as they rode vehemently onward through the starlight. strsining every nerve, they heard nothing of the happenings about the Fosters doorway. where by this time post commander. post sur geon. post quartermaster and act ing post adjutant. post ordnance. uuartermaster and commissary  sergeants. many of the post guard and most of the post laundresses had gaihered-some silent, anxious and bewildered- some exeitedly' babbling: while. within the ser geant's domiciIe- Esther Dade. very pale and somewhat out of breath, vas trying with quiet self possession to answer the myriad questions poured at her. while Dr. Waller was ministering to the dazed and moan ing sentry. and in an adjoining tenement. little group had gather ed about an unconscious form Some one had sent for Mrs Hay. who was silently. tsarfuIIy ehafng the limp and almost HfeIess hands of girl in Indian gzrb- The cloak and skirts of eiviiizstion had been found be- nezth the window of the deserted rom. and were exhibited as means sf bfirTirg ss his senses . much

Monarch of Portugal Kept Busy Doing
 Water-Color Portraits '.af. for Gifts.

The king of Portugal, besides Do. ing considered an authority upor culinary questions, is an enthusiastic amateur painter. It will be remem- berer that several of his pictures re- ceived awards at the recent interna- tional exposition in Paris, and each year he finishes a number of water colors, pastels, and pen-and-ink draw ings.
 In summer when he is residing on his estate in the north of Portugal he makes many water color sketches oi the young natives of that region. They, knowing their kings fondness fo. sketching them, seek every occasion for crossing his path. One girl whc was about to be married recently wrote him, saying that in honor of the coming event she would. like u have one of the sketches which he had doubtless made of her. The king. greatly amused, summoned her to hls presence, and, quickly sketching her portrait, presented 1t to her as wed ding gift. A week after another pretty girl asked the same favor ot him. and again the king granted hef desire.
 Since then he has been overwhelmed with petitions each summer, and eac, summer royalty grants them, to the great delight of these. his rural subjects.

FASHIONABLE BoDIcEs.
Pale Nulls Will.Be Worn with Coat Suits-Good old Plain Shirt Waist Returns.

Colored mulls and Paris muslins arc to be worn and they will be hand-em- broidered in white and trimmed with white lace and footing, writes Annie Rittenhouse. They will be worn with coat suits of the same color and are much prettier than white blouses over colored Things, which have been given black eye this season by this abuse of them.
 All sorts of cheap gaudy Things were worn under all manner. of white blouses at places and on occasions which called for much less ornate dressing.
 There is wide return, by the way, to the plain shirt-waists of four years ago modified and greatly affected by the lingerie blouse. They are made of the undressed linen which does not wrinkle, and of dimity and crossbarred muslins. They are put into tiny box plaits with out stitching and depend for their dain- tiness on a tiny frill of dotted footing down each edge of the front box plait and at the edge of the wide turnover cuffs which are fastened together at the back.
 Plain folded stocks or turnover em- broidered linen collars are worn with the new dusty blue pink and violet four in-hand ties of soft. corded silk.
 When these are made of thin white or cream summer fannels there should be some slight hand-embroidery in white floss or in dull blue or pink tapes try colors. The latter is quite lovely and very expensive when sold in the shops. yet every woman could do it at home. It Is merely the novelty that makes the price.
