was recommended as being faithful servant.
He knew few words of English, and l con-
sidered him a treasure. AS Mexican servants

Things went smoothly for two weeks Then
on Sunday Paulo failed to appear. On Tuesday
he showed up. and asked him for an explain
alton of his absence. He told me with great
show of feeling that his mother had died the
previous Saturday night. OF course, l was
sympathetic and offered him all the con-
dolences my limited Spanish would allow.
At the end of two weeks Paulo again absented
himself without permission for two days, and
when he came back he told me the same story.

had misunderstood him before: that he had

near dying. but that she didn't die until this
time. Realizing my deficiency in Spanish.

Beginning the Reading

NOV, young people" said Uncle Bob, you
~ see this card. Blank on one side, and
having Mrs. Boynton's name engraved on the
other. Also. you see this plain envelop. l
shall ask this little girl in the front to put
the card in the envelop and seal it. You don't
know what question Harry Green wrote, do
your"
mo, Sir" said the little girl.
Very well. Put the card in the envelop,
seal it securely and hold it. Now, Harry
Green. please give your envelop to some one
who does not know what you wrote on it."
Harry handed it to boy who sat at the
farther side of the room.
Then Uncle Bob made the boy who held one
envelop and the girl who held the other stand
up in front of him. Gazing straight at the
boys envelop. Uncle Bob stared at it for a
few moments. and then said, 81 can't see
through the envelop with my eyes open, but
shall close my eyes, and read it with my
mind" He closed his eyes. and soon he said
slowly, as if reading, What day of the month
is to-day"
Harry Green sat in open mouthed amaze
ment.
ooh. pshaw!" said Uncle Bob. Mind
reading isn't much. Mind writing is the diff
cult thing. If you will allow me. l shall mind
write both question and answer on the card
in the other envelop."
Again closing his eyes. Uncle Bob slowly
traced some letters in the air with his finger
Now" he said. after completing his invisible
writing, If you will open the envelop Harry

thought it possible that had misunderstood
and accepted the excuse.
In short while Paulo took his two days off
again. and came back with the same story
This time l called in a friend to interpret.
Paulo admitted that he had deceived me
before. but insisted with so much apparent
grief that he was telling the truth this time
that l forgave him. After he had gone out.
my friend told me that he would probably
keep on taking two or three days off whenever
he felt like it and offering me the same excuse.
He said there was no help for it: that all
mosos were pretty much the same. so was
obliged to put up with the annoyance.
Finally. upon hearing the story of the death
of his mother for the sixth time / said to him
Look here, Paulol This is the sixth time your
mother has died within the last three months.
Don't you think she dies rather often?"
To which he replied meekly and without a
trace of sparkle in his eye, "St. seFo,. but she
is very delicate"

AFTER considerable coaxing, Lucy and
n Fred had persuaded Uncle Bob to do one
of his clever tricks for the entertainment
of their social club one evening.
So after the young people were assembled.
Uncle Bob came into the room. He greeted
them pleasantly, and then announced that
he would give them an exhibition of mind
reading and mind writing.
Having taken his place at one end of the
room, the children all sat facing him, eager to
see what would happen. Uncle Bob sat at a
small table, on which lay pad of paper and
First" he said, az shall ask Fred to help
me Bit as it is not for an old gentleman like
me to be running about the room. And So,
Fred, will you offer this pad and pencil to
somebody, and ask him or her to write SIM

Harry Green, who was quick witted youth,
and rather suspicious of magic performances,
wrote, What day of the month is to-day"
Don't let Fred see it, or Lucy or myself, !"
said Uncle Bob, though you may show it to
the others"
So Harry Green showed the question to two
or three of those who sat near him.
Now" said Uncle Bob to Harry, tear off
the top leaf of the pad, on which you have
written, and fold it up carefully. To make it
more secure, place it in this envelop." He
gave Fred an envelop to hand to Harry. Ex-
anime it we'll" said Uncle Bob. See that it
is plain, ordinary envelop. Now inclose your
folded paper seal the envelop, and place it in
your own pocket"
Harry did so, remarking that certainly no.
body knew what was on that paper except
himself and the few to whom he had shown it..
Now" went on Uncle Bob, will you
please bring me blank card, Fred? One of
your mothers calling cards will do"
Fred returned in moment with the visiting
card.

That costs you nothing and it is surely worth
while to you to find out, and probably regain
your hearing perfectly. Mr.. Wilson was deaf
himself. Now he hears perfectly with his inven-
ton. His simple, little, soft, antiseptic sound
magnifiers are so little that you don't feel them
and so small that they can't be seen. They

people. Surely you will not be careless of

Green sealed, you will find his question written
as l read it. Then if you will open the other
envelop and take out the card"
''Oh. let me do i'll" cried Harry, excitedly.
He tore open the envelop that he had sealed,
and showed the paper to the rest. Then he
tore open the enveop that the little girl held,
and took from it the card bearing Mrs. Boyn-
toms name. The other side was blank.
There's nothing written here" he said turn
ing to Uncle Bob.
Indeed" said the latter. "Well, just take
the tip of your knife blade and split the card
in two"
They all clustered round as Harry did this,
and behold, after the card was split, Harry
question was found written on the inside Of
one half, and on the inside of the other half
was plainly written the date of the day.
Great excitement prevailed. for the children
had never seen such wonderful feat done
right under their eyes before. Even Lucy and
Fred said that Uncle Bob had fairly outdone
himself.
They begged him to do it again, and the good
natured man repeated the trick over and over,
each time with different question, written
by different person.
But no amount of coaxing would induce him
to tell how he did it. Mind writing is a most
difficult science to understand" he said, and
fear l could not explain it to your compre-
tension"
But after the others had gone home Lucy
wheedled it out of him.

The Explanation

TT seems that Fred was a confederate. The
L pad on which the question was written was
so arranged that it had sheet of carbon copy
paper, such as typewriters use, beneath the
two top pages OF white paper Then when
question was written on the top page, the car
bon paper transferred it to the third page.
When the top page was torn off, it left plain
white page still over the carbon. Then when
Fred went away with the pad, he simply tore
off the blank page and the page with the carbon
copy of the question, and fixed the pad in order
for the next performance. On his return with
the envelop he carelessly laid the carbon copy
on the table, SO that Uncle Bob might read it
at his leisure.
Also, while Fred was out of the room on one
GRAND or another he arranged the visiting
card. There was ample time for this while
Harry was folding and sealing his paper. The
cards were arranged by having number of
blank cards the same size as the visiting cards.
On the back of a visiting card Fred wrote the
question he had already discovered, and on a
blank card he wrote an answer. Then he
lightly pasted together the edges of the two.
OF course paste, cards, ETC., were all previously
shown, everybody supposed it to be a simple,
single visiting card. They were not allowed
to handle it.
The trick may be performed any number of
times, if the pretended mind reader and mind
writer can keep the audience sufficiently inter-
ested not to notice the frequent absence of the
confederate from the room. Excuses may be
made for him to get thicker enveop, or to
sharpen the pencil, even to get the mind
writer glass of water. Success, as usual in
such tricks. depends on the performers ease
and grace of manner, and merry flow of con-
versation. If an unanswerable question is
written, such as, What was the date of my
fathers BIRTH" it is sufficient for all purposes
of the trick to write, {" l do not know" as that
fully answers the question
