After Dinner Tricks
No. 19I--Nap!,in Drawn From Knee

NO. 1Ji-~Napiiin Drawn From Knee
A napkin is tied around the knee IN
two loops, as shown in Figure l, and Is
Immediately withdrawn without untying
the knot
The trick lies in the way the napkin
is looped. Lay the napkin on the knee
with the ends hanging over, and aDpar-
emily cross the ends underneath the
knee. In reality. however, the ends
are bent back and looped together. as
shown in Figure 2 The ends which
are brought UP are tied together and
will stand a slight pull. as the fric-
ton OF the cloth holds the loop tightly
beneath the knee. A sharp tug will
release the loop, and the napkin may
be drawn free.

On the night Of August 20, n man,
bleeding and mortally wounded, stag

shot had pierced the night air. and a
taxicab driver, his car parked nearby,
thought Of highwaymcn. When he saw
man stumbling toward him he became

not before the man with the death face
tried to grasp the running board of his

driver, who had carried Bergen to the
Cline home, met a policeman. To-
gcther, they returned and found Bergen
lying in the road, three hundred feet
from the Cline home.
When Bergen died a few moments
later in the Edgewater police station,
n blood stained note was found in his
coat pocket. Ic had evidently scrawlcd

Mountain Girl Gets
NeUs of Dead Man

An aftermath of the gruesome story
was the presence the other day before
the police, near Saranac Lake. of girl
who gave her name as Maude Boyea.
She wanted to know when Jack Bergen
would come back to the mountains. She
said she was his sweetheart.
She had not heard of the death OF
Bergen. Her coming to the police to
look for him was an extraordinary coin
cidence. When the police told her that
her lover was dead, that he was n
married man. she trembled pitifully.
She had met him when he was. doing
stunts for the pictures in the neighbor-
hood. He had become her hero.
Jack promised me he would write
10 me when he left" she sobbed. ~

came. And now Ill never see him
again
And this young woman has disap-
pcared. The police near Saranac have
been unable to find her. She was dark
aud piqucnt looking, a slender girl of
tho hills-and she has perhaps gone
back TO her home in the AdirOndacks
with her heart pain.
And tragedy of this sort is as far
reaching as il is often unexpected.
Little did Alice Thornton suppose
within two years. after she had set
eyes on her handsome Jack. that he
would be sitting, charged with murder.
behind the iron bars of n prison.
She cannot believe it today, though
even now she awaits trial. And the
scales of blind justice may tip one way
or they may tip another. and her young
and heretofore happy life will be ended
or begun again depending on how the
grim scales swing. .E

"Mr. Cline was away. On some

hour. Later they slipped up the back

upper room together for nearly an
hour"
Alice Thornton's interest in Jack
Bergen straightway cooled. She at
tempted to discontinue their friend
ship, and Cline, loyal to his friend,
tried to patch up the breach.

Wife Confessed LidisOn
With "DaredeDiL Jack"

Cline learned that his wife had. been
out with Bergen. He questioned Bergen
and Bergen admitted he had persuaded
Mrs. Cline to take drink.
More and more suspicious, the hus-
band continued to ply his wife with
questions. He recalled what Alice
Thornton had told him n few weeks
before at the dance. lie persisted in
his investigation, but apparently got
no further until the day before the
murder on August %.
at that time his wife made a clean
breast Of the whole affair. She said
that she became intoxicated after Bergen
had forced the drink on her. While
she was under the influence of the
liquor. she said, Bergen attacked her.
Immediately following the confession,
both Cline and his wife telephoned to
Bergen, urging him to come to their
home in Cndcrcliff avenue. At first
