A Halloween Gama.

Floating needles is a good Hallow-

ed or dipped into sweet oil. Small
pieces of tissue paper are then 1oated
in a basin of water, and each one care
fully lays his or her needle on a piece
Of the paper. When the paper be,
comes thoroughly wet it will sink. the
needles remaining floating on the sur
face of the water by reason of the
coating of oil on them. Capillarity
makes the needles act peculiarly,
some rushing to the edge of the basin.
others attracted to each other and still
others repealed from each other, and
the way your needle acts toward the
others is supposed to be prophetic of
your fate. as, of course, the needles
are all named.

Prizes are hidden mysteriously about

guided from place to place by some
such rhyme as the following:
Perhaps you'll find it in the air.
II no, look underneath your chair.
Beneath his chair he'll find these
lines:
No; you will not find it here.
Search the clock and have no fear.
Under the clock he finds:
You will have to try once more.
Look behind the parlor door.
Tied to the doorknob he discovers:
If it's not out in the stable,
Seek beneath the kitchen table.
Under the kitchen table he'll find
this:
If your request remains uncertain,
You will find it meath the curtain.
And here his hunt is rewarded by
finding a n~onsensical souvenir appro-
pirate to Halloween.

1t had been 4 strange year for Jim
Collins. He did not care to look back
enough for him that during the period
he had dropped from his pinnacle of
honest labor to be the pitiful slave of
a habit. A red lamp glowed down at
the corner by Uhlman's bakery-at the
entrance to the alley that ran around
to the back door. AS Jim went to-
| ward it the saloons along the avenue
were closing up, doors swung open
and discharged quarrelsome groups of
men, who scattered up and down the
pavement, some Of them making the
midnight hideous with their raucous
| voices.
Jim Collins passed them and went on
to the entrance to the alley. Here
he Joined a line Of men which was 81
lently forming in the dim alley-dere-
licts from the city's troubled seas
who We're waiting for the nightly dole
Of bread which Hans Uhlman gave to
his poorer neighbors after the exam
pie of a greater philanthropist farther
uptown.
Down at the entrance, near the red
light, Jim Collins slowly followed the
shortening line. He was impatient Of
the delay, for he was anxious to re-
ceive his bread and seek a certain
bench in the square near by, where
a maple tree formed an excellent
shelter in a moderate rain. If he was
delayed much longer the much to be
desired bench would be pre-empted by
some other outcast of the night.
In front of him a wOman'S form was
vaguely outlined. A shawl was thrown

He Was Waiting.

A pretty, rosy checked country girl
entered a department store. 1t was a
bargain day, and the crowd was great
er than usual. She wandered about
from floor to floor-using the stairways
because she was afraid Of the eleva-
tors-and finally she stopped, lost and
confused, in the middle of the biggest
store she had ever seen.
A fioorwalker saw her and politely
approached. o.

asked, with a pleasant smile.

over her head and wrapped about her
shoulders. AS they drew within the
windows radius of dim yellow light
Jim could see her figure plainly.
Her slenderness reminded him Of
Kitty Leland the remembrance of
Kitty brought a muttered oath to his
lips. 1t was not pleasant to recollect
that drink had not only cost him a
good job, but had drifted him away
from Kitty Lee into Il maelstrom Of
dissipation. They had been engaged.
and be had given her a ring with a
cheap blue stone, but she had blushed
so beautifully as. she zen and lightly
kissed the token of their betrOthal.
Then he-had he EVER been light heart
ed enough to do that?-had also leaned
down and kissed the ring and then
kissed his sweetheart's lips. He
growled 1narticulately as a pain smot,'
his heart.
The woman moved ahead and he fol-
lowed. 1t was her turn at the window,
and she stretched out a thin, paIlid
hand for the coveted loaf of bread. On
her hand cleaned a ring with a blue
| stone.
When Jim Collins had received his
loaf be turned and fastened after the
