afternoon he met the stranger again. Tho
money was carefully placed in the ma

cess" Joe was handed a package, not
TO be opened for "a hours as the sun or
light would fade the ''ink." Joe did not
open the package for "a hours, but when
he did he found out lots. He had only a
bunch of newspaper carefully pressed.
The apparatus used in the game is a
box about l5xl2 inches and about four
inches in thickness. In the top center is
an opening To the interior of the box. A
pocket or compartment fits beneath this
opening, but alongside this pocket Is
another pocket exactly like 1t. On the
top of the box are two telegraph outfits,
two buzzers and electric lights, which
when started remind one of small cleo
trio plant. That completes the spell ="
The victim, in order to not let the other
occupants of the house hear the buzzlng
racket, must cough and jump about to
make noise. While that is taking his
place, the compartments or pockets arc
shifted by small invisible lever and the
victim is handed the package to be placed
in a closet or suitcase and kept there for

ON it face up, then thin piece of rice
paper, and a 81 bill on that with its back
toward the piece of rice paper. Before be-
ing placed between the two good 81 bills,
the rice paper is carefully handled in the
various solutions. This is complete and
the operation starts. The victim after n
lapse of some time is handed two old 81
bills and new 81 bill. This had already
been prepared iii the other pocket.
To show the victim that the money is
good, he hands him magnifying glass TO
examine the bill II he thinks it ''neces-
sary" he adds some flourishes TO the bill
with some very fine pen points in his out

THIS WAS OLD MOVING DAY
March 25th Was Time for Annual

" is recalled by those whose memories
go back 20 or p wears that March 25th
was the day that almost quarter of Will
mington's population changed homes.
and that the day was one Of the utmost
activity among tenants thus going to new
abiding places.
In those DAYS the streets on March 25th
seemed like an endless procession Of house
hold furniture on wheels and from morning
until nightfall, and even later, the long
trains OF wagons loaded down and heaped
high into the air passed IN iiocks. or drovcS-
There were no expert movers in those times
the transferswere made by the usual handy
man and his wagons and carts. The
furniture for the most part was carefully
wrapped in old shceting or paper TO save
il from breaking or scratching and the
procession looked almost funeral rs the
horse-drawn wagons crawied along the
streets. There was such demand Tor
teams and men on the old moving days
that many packed their goods on the wagon
over nigh, for an early start in the morning
so that the services of their wagons and
men might bc stretched TO cover many
engagements.
Moving 20 years ago was the same as
TODAY in the respect that people simply
shifted from ono house TO another and II
required a nicely of transportation skill
TO keep the transfer of goods so that as
soon as one house was vacant the goods o!
the next tenant were ready and waiting
admission.
