for it came tumbling perversely down,
quite as his had done. Tinta sighed.
Now the magician did a strange thing
He tore off the black beard, which had
interfered somewhat with his work, and
the black wig, which may have got down
too close to his eyes. The little silver
haired man, who now stood revealed as
none other than Prester jim, returned
with new determination to the spinning
of the three trays upon his chin.
"Look, look!' said Aunt Kate, as she
suddenly recognized Tinta's friend.
But the little girl was unable to reply
She stared, gasped, and fingered her
curls. She slipped off her seat into the
dark side aisle, unnoticed by her guardian,
and moved unconsciously, a step at time,
as if drawn by magnet, toward the stage.
Presently she reached little stairway
at one end, and stopped. 1t was evident
that Prester jim was in trouble He
couldn't make the third pie pan spin at
all. Obviously he needed assistance.
Tinta hastily climbed up the stairs on to
the stage.
The sleepy audience rubbed its eyes,
The fairy was evidently real hesh-and-
blood one and very pretty.

more formality than the bare state
ment that she was Tintas guardian.
"The kid will have to get twenty-five, and
Uncle Jim, here, ought to drag down
fifty. What do you say to seventy-fve
dollars for the act? Of course we've got
to touch it up a little and add some more
business. But you can see for yourself
that it's going to be a ripping little bill

"as a Juggling comedy duo. 1t was dead
rotten before you introduced the kid and
the new stuff. But I'll take you on for
two weeks at seventy-five, and I'll make
it all right with the agency, too, if you
have to shift any dates. What do you
say, Medlo?'
Prester Jim said merely:
"Ah-I thought so," and drew two
long fingers from long curl that hung
down over Tinta's shoulder. Between
the ends Of these fingers he held the stem
of big cherry
"Oh, goody! goody!' cried Tinta.
"That's for you,' said Prester Jim.
"But this one is for me-

ady's stage name was Fay Montaine.
She was a tight-rope walker, and. two
days before Tinta arrived, she had fallen
and broken her leg. This made it i'm
possible for her to come walking in the
park-a thing she greatly desired to do,
for she was very anxious, Tinta said, to
meet Prester jim.
Prester Jim said he would greatly en-
Joy meeting Aunt Kate, and it was only
two days afterward that he was tr-
rmphantly hailed up three flights of dark
tairs to her boudoir. 1t transpired that

Ilnta brushed away a tear.
The magician went
through a repertoire of
simple Stunts" that did
not seem to interest the
audience greatly. People
yawned and strolled out.
When two of his three
tennis balls rolled off the
stage on to the orchestra
there were some smokers
OF amusement.
When he finally prepared
for the climateric feature
of his performance, there
was scarcely a flicker of
interest. The audience was
obviously bored, save for a
small girl in the back row.
TlNTA could not under
stand how this strange
man happened to be in
possession of the Cham
of Tartary's enchanted
pie pans. He went on
with his performance much
as Prester Jim had done,
spinning one after another
on the tops of the little
glittering pedestals. The
littlest pan of all had a
jinX, just like Prester Jim's,

eighteen blue leopards and twenty-four
purple crocodiles.
Prester Jim had set another pedestal
on the large tray and the smaller apple
pie pan was quickly rotating on the top
OF that Tinta was giving rapt attention.
"TheGrand Cham green parrot, whose
name was McAndless, had seen me
through the pantry window, eating the
pies. McAndless went at once and told
on me. BY rights, said the Cham, i
ought to eat you for dinner tonight,
since you have the pies inside of you; but
I know it would annoy your brother Pres
ter John, and | don't want to do that.
So | will simply decree that you must
take those three pans and balance them
on your chin three times day, for the
rest of your life He was a cruel one"
Prester Jim was talking mostly through
his nose now, the while he hoisted the
third pedestal into its socket in the upper
tray, by means of curious rod with an
elbow joint near the end
"But the worst is yet to be told" went
on the magician tensely. "He

in time. The jinx in the Cham

the rear. A comic singer with a voice
like saw performed, and was allowed to
retire unframed. A lady with figure
far from sylphlike came out, gamboled
awhile, perspired, sang song, and van
ished.
A drop now went up, revealing the inner
stage set with the paraphernalia of magic.
A black-haired, black-bearded man sat in
the center There, sure enough, were

Prester Jim glanced at his new assist
ant, and the three pie pans of the bar
barous Cham of Tartary rolled in all
directions.
Tinta scampered after them. One pan
rolled three times around the stage in
circles with Tinta after it, her curls bob
bling behind. She chased another into
the wings. The third was recovered by
the pianist, who handed it up to the little
girl and was nicely thanked.
The audience was palpably interested.

more prevailed over Prester jim, and
the whole spinning structure ratified to
the floor.
The old man took green silk handker-
chief from his pocket and mopped his
forehead with trembling hand. Tinta,
however, lost not moment in fruitless
repining, but set to work at once to col
lect the pans, pedestals, and crooked cane
from the four quarters of the room. She
brought them, one at a time, to the old
magician. Thus encouraged he set to
work once more, and after perhaps half
dozen failures he succeeded in exercising
the evil spirit of the smallest tray in such
measure as to make it spin.
shrek of JOY from the now wearied
little girl was full reward for his pains.
al beat the old Cham that time, didn't
l?' sighed Prester jim, hopping his face
once more with the handkerchief
ayes, SIR, replied Tinta, "you did l
just hate the old Cham. think he's just
as mean"
"He is-just, commented Prester jim.
Then they repaired to the dining-room,
where the landlady of the clearinghouse
RECALLED them with sandwiches filed with
stuffed olives and cheese. After that
Prester jim took Tinta back to Forty
sixth Street and turned her over to her
Aunt Kate.
THE course of true love now encoun-
tered serious interruption. Henrietta
quarreed with Slicker Dunn. The con-
sequence of the disagreement was that
Henrietta went no more to Bryant Park;
she chose to walk up Fifth Avenue to
Central Park instead, and Tinta was
obliged perforce, to go with her. Thus
two loving but timid souls were severed,
apparently for all time. Prester jim
actually called at the boarding-house one
day; but Henrietta and Tinta had gone
out. The old man turned sadly away.
Tinta never espied box of cherries on
fruit-stand without recollection and
poignant regret
In the course of time Aunt Kate got
out of bed and went about the room with
a cane. Later she was able to venture
out of doors with Tinta for short strolls
up and down the shady side of Forty
sixth Street, and an occasional excursion
as far as Fifth Avenue.
One day, over on Seventh Avenue, they
ran into a billboard on an easel in front
of vaudeville house. 1t had on it
picture of man balancing three pie pans
on his chin. Tinta timidly expressed
her desire to see this show, and they
went in.
The bill, rather dull one, was half
over. The theater was fairly well filled.

talk was scarcely comprehensive to Tinta
Hes good-hearted old guy" Aunt
Kate told Henrietta, "and on the square,
even though he is little bit nuts He
wants to take the kid to see some of the
traps in his studio, as he calls it, to-mor-
row morning. I'm going to let her GO"
DRESTER JIM'S Studio" was rather
small and dark room that had once
been the back parlor of a brownstone
house on West Forty-fourth. 1t was
lighted by two gas-jets, and was crammed
with such a tangle of junk that it was al
most impossible for one to move around
in it. In one corner was a battered leather
couch which opened out to make bed,
and beside it a small washstand with a
bowl and pitcher. The rest of the furni-
ture consisted of the appurtenances of
prestidigitation.
Tinta ran into big armchair and
knocked it half across the room; it was
made of paper. Dumb-bells, horse-pis-
tolls, blunderbusses, heaps of netting, Or
nate croquet sets-the corners We're piled
high with them. These and yet other
wonders were duly exhibited by Tintas
At the last he showed her the pie pans
of the Grand Cham. There were three

an Tartary they use nothing else, he
O.. planned. "The large one is for pump
kin pie, the medium one for apple, and
the little one for elderberry. The Grand
Cham never eats any pie but elderberry.'
Prester jim paused and sighed. the
while he pulled out three-legged stool
and little tabouret.
"JT is sad tale, but you'll have to hear
it sometime, so | may as well tell you
now" he said. "You see, when | was
boy in Tartary some nine hundred or a
thousand years ago, | was inclined to be
a bit mischevous Besides, | was always
hungry and passionately fond of pie.
One day happened to be in the pantry
of the Grand Cham, and there espied
three luscious pies upon the shelf, pump
kin, apple, and elderberry. Being sorely
tempted, ate all three. Alas, if had
but left the little elderberry pie for the
Grand CHAINS dinner!"
Prester Jim had seated himself on the
stool and balanced little pedestal,
shaped somewhat like potato-masher,
on the point of his chin, with the pump
kin-pie pan whirling on top of it.
"Of course | was discovered" he went
on, "and hailed before the Grand Cham

just in time. The jinx
almost got me to-day.
Now that you are here,
I'll have another try"
But the third effort was
no more successful than
the second.
Tinta stood with clasped
hands and watched, as if
her life depended upon it,
the spinning of the first
and second trays. When
the third wabbled and
brought the whole outfit
to the floor with a crash,
the audience sighed so
that you could hear it a
block. 1t, too, had been
holding it's breath.
Tinta jumped to retrieve
the rolling pans. She was
the busiest little girl in
New York.
Prester Jim presently
realized that nobody cared
particularly whether he
made all of his pans spin
or not. In fact, to succeed
would probably spoil the
effect, since it was Tinta's
performance in recovering
the rolling stock" that
seemed to arouse the most
general interest. AS fast
as she recovered one, there
fore, he dropped another.
The audience howled
with delight and wiped it's
fearful eyes.

stage. Here she found

ference in the cost of comb and ex~ tracted honey, but the latter can be purchased at wholesale very much cheaper. The reason for this Is that the producer of comb honey makes a product which is practically ready to be delivered to the consumer. More over, it costs the bee-keeper less to produce extracted honey while the NwholeSa1er who purchase extracted honey has several processes to go through with before he can sell it at retail. If the housewife is willing to do these herself, she can effect a. considerable saving.
 The simplest and, perhaps, most popular way of using honey is to serve 1t like jam or sirup with bread, pancakes etc When used in this way an ounce of honey may be re- garded as the equivalent of an ounce of jam. When intended for sirup it fs sometimes diluted with hot water not only to make it less sweet, but al- so easier to pour. Tn housewife will also find some form of tart fruit served with honey, cottage cheese,
 and bread and butter an attractive
 combination and an economical sub
 stitute for the much prized and very expensive Bar-ie-Duc entrants which are themselves often cooked in honey and served with cream cheese and 1 crackers. The following are typical | of an almost endless number of
 honey recipes
