HIS FAvoRITE CARD TRICK
It's a Pathetic Sight When He Exhib.
its to a Bunch of
Girls.

Is there anything in the world so pa
thetic as the spectacle of young mar
showing his favorite trick with cards
to bunch of girls? The slaughter
goes something like this. Let us sup
pose that the man speaks first:
Il used to know clever trick with
cards. If you like. I'll try to show it
to you while we're waiting. Miss Mar
garet, will you please choose card
from this pack?"
II am to choose? Which card do ]
take?"
ANY one you like"
But how can | tell, when you show
me only the backs of the cards and
the backs are all exactly alike?"
That's it. You just choose one al
random"
"oh, that's the way? But is that
fair? Well, I'll choose. I've got the
jack of hearts"
"Oh, no. You mustn't tell me the
card you pick That's what I'm sup
posed to tell you, you know. Put it
back into the deck and choose an
other"
why can't keep this one? l can
remember it better"
Yes, but then there wouldn't be
any trick. You see, you are to take
card that / don't see, and then I'm to
find out the one you looked at"
"Oh! You couldn't do that! Well,
l pick this one"
Very well. Now look at it and put
it back into the pack"
What part of the pack shall l
put it in?"
But how can you tell what card it
Is If you don't know where l put it?
Well, there it goes
Now take the deck and shuttle it. |
Now give it to me Presto-there! Is
his the card you chosen
"Oh, dear-I don't know. | forgot
o look and see which one l took. Does
hat make any difference? l should
hink the trick would be better if |

waiting their own farms, these unusual
social laws are most remarkable. But
it shows, most clearly, the careful,
long-headed planning for the future,
which has characterized the policies
and work of the Bulgarian leaders for
the past quarter century.
That this progress, noticeable under
the most suspicious conditions, has
been made during disturbed and I'M
settled years, when there was seeming
ly no surety for future stability to
make the advance still more remark
able. For years the geographical, as
well as political, buffer between Tur-
key and the European powers, betray-
ed and belittled alike by open enemy
and false friend, Bulgaria looks with
suspicion and distrust upon all Euro
pean diplomacy and diplomats, but
trusts fully the United States. And no
one can wonder at this attitude.
when he reads back through history's
pages and sees how many times the
long-persecuted country begged for
help from her Turkish oppressor and
always in vain. Knowing full we'll the
jealousy and tension between the pow
ers, the willy sultans pitted one against
the other, and in the meantime, did as
they wilied with the Bulgarian and
Macedonian Christians. Their only
help came from this country
When, in 1878. Independence. after
a fashion, came, the first great task
set for itself by the new pripc'pality.

The laborer watched the man until

guard her as the apple of his eye
There was none Ike her; he had
known no woman like her in all his
experience. As for his future plans
he cared nothing. He had arranged
for what money would be necessary;
for the rest fate must decide.
And she was waiting for him. AS
he approached the unlit house where
the man he hated lived he saw her, a
sinuous shadow in the doorway He
crouched among the garden shrubs as
he heard footsteps approaching. AT
first he feared that it was his enemy,
but 1t was only some belated wayfar-
er. walking up the long ascent from
the station. Presently all was silent
and he emerged from his place of con-
cealment. She saw him and turned to
him.
'Lucille!" he whispered.
She was as self-possessed, her poise
was a firm as though she were going
upon the most ordinary mission. She
handed him the suitcase--a dainty
French affair. bullying with the few
articles that she had managed to pack
into it. There was no time for rap
ture. Together they started down the
garden path. Suddenly she stopped.
Il have forgotten it," she ex
claimed.
What"
my mothers photograph It is up
stairs, in my room. | must get It'll
cannot go without it,"
He could not refuse the simple wish
which revealed such qualities of heart. |
He waited for what seemed an eter-
nifty. Presently she was back again,
and still nobody stirred but they two,
in the garden, under the whispering
trees. And so he led her away.
The suitcase was weighty, but he
walked as though he trod on air, and
Lucille strobe at his side. Sometimes,
when cloud yelled the face of the
moon Lindsay looked up, hardly dar-
ing to believe that she was really his
at last-forever, he hoped His heart
throbbed madly and the two miles
seemed but few short city blocks.
At last they stood outside his house
again, and. looking through the win
low. Lindsay perceived that his wife
still occupied the same chair and held
he same book. All the emotions that
had possessed him had been entirely
Unknown to her; she read as tran
luilly as though nothing were at
stake.
Then a sense of unutterable love for
his quiet woman in the chair welled
Up in Lindsay's heart He turned to
he girl and spoke almost CURLY.
Il am going in to tell her, he said. y,
ITO tell your wife?"
"Yes-everything. But wait for me.
shall not abandon you. Have no
ear. 1t will be but a moment"
The waiting girl saw Lindsay disap- .
ear within the house; she saw him
end over his wife, saw her start up
ncredulously and look at him with
yes that searched his soul. Then :
he was running out of the house, !
nth Lindsay at her side.
"Youl Lucille!" she cried
yes, madame"
And you have come to stay? You
III not leave us?" She turned to her
usband. 20, my dear" she cried, ito

rench cook in Stapleton. And it's

most pulled her through the door.
