She went into the little shop and

she had made bold to enter.
As she sat there waiting. voices
from the little kitchen beyond reached
her. Evidently the two old mem were
having a late breakfast. and evidently
also they were somewhat hard OF

These figures added together make

Now ask them TO cross out any one
figure, total them up again and tell
you the total. Thus, say, they cross
out the 6, the total becomes 81. They
tell you this, and without looking at
the sum you can say the value Of the
figure which has been crossed out.
You do this trick by subtracting the
total from the next multiple OF o.
