behind a little table on which was con
spicuously displayed the sign: "A box
of this cement given free 20 anybody who
can break any Of these apart"
There were spools. blocks OF wood. and
other articles that had been cemented to
gether and most OF them bore marks OF
having been struggled with by persons
with grimy hands I'm vain attempts 20
wrench them apart.
A swarthy little fellow who had stopped
in front OF the takers stand pointed 10 a
round peg that appeared TO have been
dipped In the cement and driven into a
good sized chunk Of wood. and asked him
what would be the reward for pulling Il
out.
'If you can pull that out" said the ped
dler OH give you a silver dollar"
The peg projected little more than
quarter OF an inch above the block.
The swarthy little fellow placed his left
hand on the block 10 hold IL down. took
the peg between the thumb and foreinger
OF his right hand, and pulled IL out with
apparent ease, a portion OF the wood com
ing away with it.
"Great Scotty gasped the man behind
the table What are you?"

fellow pocketing the silver dollar and
walking away with grin on his face.
