years off his apparent age, but added
nothing to the charm of his personality.
Before small and greatly bored audi
ence the @Great Medic" now exhibited
his repertoire of prestidigitation. He Jug
gled marbles, walnuts, and billiard balls.
He did curious things with croquet mall
let's and bicycle rims. He caused silk
reappear most marvelously. At the end
he made three tea-trays spin stimuli
taneously on three wooden pedestals, the
one above the other and the whole erec-
ton supported on his chin. This act
elected some slight interest on the part
of the audience, which had been OBJ
viously wearied by what went before.
The Great Medlo's triumph was rendered
incomplete, and the effectiveness of his
act correspondingly weakened, however,
by his failure to make the uppermost pan
spin properly. He tried three times, and
each time it fell to the stage The audi
ence applauded half-heartedly as he re-
tired.
In the wings lurked large, blond man,
with high voice and thin, damp red hair
parted in herringbone fashion.
"Say, Doc" he squeaked, as Medic
came off the stage, "you're falling down
pretty regular on that whirligig stunt of
yours. What's the matter with your"
d burnt my finger on cigar end
the other day." explained Medic. @It's
dev'lish annoying; but it'll be all right
in a couple of days. You've no idea how
a little thing like that will spoil your
nerve"
Medic had, as a matter of fact burned
his finger; but that wasn't what made the
third tray come topping down so regu-
larly. His real trouble was rheumatism.
well, for goodness sake brush it up,
Medic" admonished the manager. "The
whirligig is the only good thing you've
got, and if you fall down on that Wen
have to drop you from the bill, that's all.
Why don't you practise a little?"
81 guess I'd better" said Medic,
smiling.
He could not, of course, tell the mana
ger that he had been working on this par
ticular trick every night until twelve
o'clock for the past week.
1t was written that he would never
again perform the "whirligig stunt" with,
complete success; and he knew it.
RY favor of Henrietta and sufferance of
Mr.. Slicker Dunn, the affair of Tinta,
and Prester Jim now progressed with
great rapidity. Nearly every day they
saw each other in the park, whittier they
were accustomed to resort soon after
luncheon.
In exchange for Prester Jim's wealth
of entertainment, Tinta gave Prester
jim full account of her own life; but
that didn't take very long. She had
been born seven years before in Penn
sylvania. She could not remember hav-
ing father, and two months ago her
mother had died suddenly, of pneumonia.
Then she had come to live with her
mothers half-sister in New York. This

exciting.
Prester jim himself admitted that it
was very curious.
"The simple truth is, said he, "that
never knew but one other person who had
cherries in her hair; and that was the
Peri Kitinklo. She was much older than
you, but she didn't show her age; for
peris never really grow up"
"I'm seven years DID," said Tinta
with interest, sitting on the edge of the
bench.
"Kitinklo was six hundred and fifty
four when I knew her," observed Prester
jim, quite casually, "and that was when
was boy in Persia some two hundred
years ago."
"Oh-h-h!"
eyes. You see, there is a little secret
about me that not everybody knows.
am a magician. Many people won't be-
lieve it, but l am, nevertheless. So
that accounts for my acquaintance
with little Kitinklo. She was related to
me, in a sort of a way-a grand-niece, in
fact. Her uncle was my brother, the il
lustrious Prester John, Emperor of India.
My name by the way, is Prester jim.
y
Tinta told him. She then asked if
Kitinklo.
"Why, yes, there is" replied Prester
Jim affably. "There is lots, if one just
knew where to begin" And thereupon he
proceeded to tell the story of fascinating
Kitinklo and Prince Mangu Can, nephew
of the Grand Cham of Tartary. 1t was
tale of jinns and ogres and fairies and
hippogriffins, and in the end the beau tiful
kitinklo married Prince Mangu, and they
lived happy ever afterward.
Tinta listened to it all with unwav ering
attention, and at the end she drew
long breath and expressed her pleasure at
the happy outcome of Kitinklos affair
with the Prince of Cathay. She said she
liked to hear about peris and jinns, but
the hippogriffins rather scared her. Pres
ter jim allowed it to be understood that
he had been much in the society of such
creatures in the course of long and ad-
venturous life.
"If you should happen to come to the
park tomorrow afternoon about this
time" he concluded, Henrietta and
her young man had risen and were evil
IDENTIFY preparing to epart,-"you will
find me here again, and l shall be pleased
to tell you something that will really sur
prise you"
Tinta promised to come if she could,
and fastened off.
Prester Jim remained sitting in the sun
and watched the three cross Forty-second
Street and turn up Sixth Avenue. Then
he pulled out of his pocket a paper bag
containing two cherries, which he gave to
the sparrows futtering down on the walk.
That done, he put on his green felt hat,
got up rather stiffly, and buttoned his
wrinkled sack coat over his faded vest.
ONCE started, he got some of the stiff
ness out of his joints, and presently
was moving down Sixth Avenue at a
sprightly clip, scuttling across in front of
street cars, under the elevated, and
lodging dray-wagons with the best of
them. In fact, he was late, and there was
some necessity for haste. He reached the
theater in about ten minutes,-it was a
cheap vaudeville house on Seventh Ave
nue-but had only time to slip on a
black WIG and n tr,,ly din holio and GoIl;o
