After Dinner Trick S
No. 283-The Elusive Ace

An ace of hearts and two other cards
are held face out toward the audience,
with the two cards overlapping the ace
as shown in the diagram, so that just
the center pip of the ace is showing.
The cards are dropped face down on the
table, and some one is asked to pick out
the ace. To his surprise he finds it to
be five spot.
The supposed ace is really the Eve
spot, but the four extra pips are con-
cealed, as shown by the dotted lines
in the drawing. To make the trick more
mysterious use two five spots, and have
one of them showing in front (instead
of the three of clubs). When the spec
tator picks up the supposed ace and
finds it to be a FIVE, he thinks it is
the five he saw before. Do not show
him the two remaining cards.

not forgotten, for his wartime
experience has always remained to
him one of his finest memories.
But it has remained only as q
memory and has not been passed
on to his sons. When the old
soldier died, with him has died
practically all he learned to win
victory. 1t happened after the
Revolution, after 1915, after the
Civil War.
There is something fine in the
attitude of putting behind oneself
past achievements and resolutely
facing the future in place of llv-
ing in the past, but in 1917, when
the nation in a great crisis found
that it took more than a year to
put electives in the field, it was
realized that this sentiment was
alleged with something foolhardy,
something almost selfish.
So the anniversary of Chateau
Thierry finds the American army

of costly sacrifice to those who
will comprise the nation, And al,
