Are you ready!
And the ball whizzes straight for fragile porcelain
plate which the juggler holds in his hand There is
a law of physics here; but we will pass that. The
point is this Cinqueval is going to stop the flying
cannonba without breaking the plate-and the ball
will rest the plate! IT, through the slightest mis-
judgment of speed and direction, the plate should be
struck at any but the precise angle, the porcelain
will be smashed and the sharp spinters will cut the
jugglers hand, perhaps causing wound that may
bring death through blood poisoning This is the
risk he takes.
Do you know the true meaning of the word pa
tience? Perhaps not at least not in Cinquevalli's
sense. Once he practised an hour day for four
months to make tennis ball drop always at the
angle on his forehead
Why does he do these peculiar things? To amuse
you and to crafty his own sense of power. He is
naturally proud of his wonderful muscular coordna-
ton possibly the greatest of its kind in written his

Here is of his cleverest: He takes pea shooter.
potato, a knife, and fork. In the pea shooter
is a dart He throws the fork twenty-five feet
high; sends the potato after it; holds the knife in
his right hand; shoots the dart into the falling po-
tato which at this instant has also been struck by
the flying fork; and finally the united three
ceived the point of the knife in Cinquevalli's
other hand-ust all will fall clumsily
to the floor.
In Chicago, Cinquevalli caught on a fork held in
his teeth turnp thrown from the top of one of the
tallest buildings.

gious strength Once, in Paris, wager of five

Exit Mooraba1yma. Jr.
DURING this paaver the devil doctor had been
- standing by the side of Mooraballyma, jr, with
frowning face which clearly showed that he compre-
hended the drift of remarks. Two three times
he made motion though he longed to throw his
spear at me- but thought better of it when he my
gun pointed in his direction. The breaking of the

distinct upset to them, and they seemed ncredulous;
but my statement verified by all of party, who
had seen for themselves
While we were talking about it two canoes had come
down from up the stream and half dozen men had
joined the group. One of them short, heavy
man. probably sixty years old of powerful build the
proprietor of of the ugliest and most vilainous
physlognomes | ever by human being and
this man was introduced to Mooraballyma, ST.,
the uncle Small wonder that people frightened at his
approach and shuddered at mention of his name! If
should meet him in the streets in an American city
after dark should be inclined to shoot first and ask
questions afterward. However, we shook hands, and
the old entered into the palaver. When told of
the dog killing and the fate of the warriors, he
seemed trhe disconnected and remarked to his
nephew that it was bad sign that his war medicine
was evidently not working right. With this logical
deduction | agreed, and once made assertion
of my opinion of the devil doctor and his work
The old man, Keuth, Won Charant, and myself
were standing in a group facing the younger MORA
ballyma, the devil doctor and the few play devils who
had come out with them. The doctor and his assist
ants were decorated in their official paint and the
nephew logged out in chiefs bonnet, all of
them having rushed out from their medicine making
incantations without stopping to throw off any of
their mystical paraphernaia.
And it was lucky for that arranged;
for hardly had | given vent to my repeated warning

something doing very suddenly. Everybody else
looking up at the trees mute expectancy, and the
devil doctor shaking his fist in that direction and
giving utterance to vehement anathemas against what
he evidently supposed rival spirit worker.
Poor deuded fellow! He was the victim of his
mistaken diagnosis for there the sharp crack of

ground with gaping hole through his head; for the
bullet had struck him in the center of the forehead

and about two seconds later bullet went crashing
through his brain By this time the old uncle de-
moralized. He knew those shots fired in such rapid
succession did not from any ordinary gun of his
