Spooky and Ken nodded.

and wonder where you are"
THE professor turned back to his wires, and
] the boys followed the man in the black hat
out Of the room. Before he left them he told
them that he was Mr.. Oliver and instructed
them to see him after the show that night to
get their pay
Pretty soft" exulted Ken as they hurried
away from the carnival grounds and toward
their homes Easy money!" He paused and
his brow wrinked thoughtfuly. But say.
Spooky If the professor knows all about every
thing. why do you suppose he needs us to tell
him things?"

Ken looked alarmed DO you suppose he's

Il don't know" replied Spooky. And don't
care q whole lot just so the money we get
isn't fake"
That afternoon the boys returned to the
carnival grounds, where preparations for the
nights show were rapidly approaching COM
pletion. Prof. Arzah took them up to the
little room and showed them how to use the
one-way telephone. trial proved that the
apparatus was working perfectly.
THE boys hardly did justice to their suppers
! that evening. At minutes to they
were on the carnival grounds, where q crowd
was already gathering. They met the profess
sor in his tent and were awed by the splendor
Of his garments. After final word Of in
structions, they climbed the stairs and stationed
themselves at the window, watching the crowd
below them
MI. Oliver began barking at his ticket booth,
describing the wonders to be witnessed in tho
various tents. The merry-go-round bared
forth . tinny tune, and soon 1t was loaded
with children. Ken, at the window, stinened
to attention. Spooky grasped the telephone.
There's somebody going into the professors
tent!" Ken said in an excited whisper Then
he uttered . gasp. Its Miss Walters osn
school teacher last year."
BOY oh boy!" said Spooky ferventy as he
turned his mouth to the telephone.

he told them in his pompous manner the
world-fam mystic, Prof. Arzah. ProI
Arzah knows all secrets of the past, present
and future. He reads the human mind like an
open book, and gives advice on problems OF
business, love and marriage. For the ridicu-
lously small sum of so cents. he will tell his
visitor anything that he or she wishes to know.
Step right up -"
The man caught himself, suddenly realizing
that he was not barking in front OF the tents.
He cleared his throat. and continued:
"As I was saying, the professors knowledge
of things mystic is most amazing. However,
in order to add the last touch Of perfection TO
his unbelievable performance, he desires to en-
gage the services Of a couple OF capable as
sstants.
Spooky scratched his head. "You mean," he
said, that we are to be the assistants?"
Exactly" replied the man, rubbing his hands
with great satisfaction.
But, mister" said Spooky doubtfully. I
might as well tell you right now that we don't
know doggoned thing about fortune telling.
Unnecessary" assured their companion.
ENTIRELY unnecessary! In q moment I will
show you Just how you can help the professor.
But first Of all, must have your word that
you will keep this little arrangement absolutely
secret
THE two boys with their minds on the so
! cents pay that each was to get quickly re-
assured him on that point. Then the carnival
man again held up a mysterious finger, and
commanded them once more to follow.
This time he led them behind the tents, and
50 off the lot and to the rear door OF . store
building that stood Immediately next to 1t.
They climbed q narrow stairway and found
themselves in an upstairs room which looked
down on the carnival grounds directly below.
As they entered the room, a man who was
tinkering with some wires beside the window,
Strengthened up and turned to them. He was
tall, lean man with pale face and deep set
eyes. He was almost entirely bald.
"Prof. Arzah," said the carnival man,
"let me introduce your two assistants. They
are ready to hear just what you want them to
do"
Spooky and Ken were staring at the fortune
teller with hanging jaws. Could this man be
an Oriental mystic? The idea was ridiculous.
However, they later learned what tremendous
difference there was in his appearance when
his bald head was hidden beneath a closely
wound turban, and his ordinary clothes were
concealed under silken robes.
Co. K, chief" said Prof Arzah with q very
un-myStic manner. He turned abruptly to the
boys, and pointed to the wires which he was
installing. "This is small battery telephone
set,' he said. "It connects with my tent below.

History of War Costly
To British Treasury

LONDON.-To other onerous liabili-
ties of the World War must be added
the huge sum it will cost number of
nations to tell the official story of the
holocaust.
With 80 volumes of the British Off
clal History of it on the shelves, and the
end of the task six or eight years off,
the British taxpayer has learned that
the story, SO far as told, is a highly
expensive one, something in excess of
E1,000,000. When the job is completed
many of the veterans who came through
the conflict in the prime of life will be
septuagenarians.
1t Is the hope of some members of
Parliament that economies should be
erected In the telling of the tale, but
not much satisfaction has been given
by government SpokeSmen.
Up to date the Official British History
has got only as far as the recital of the
story of the first battle of the Somme
on the West Front, and the sanguinary
campaign at Gallipon between April
and December, 1915.
The British history is being pro-
duced under the control of Brig. Gen.
Sir James E. EdmondS, who has six as
sistantS. While it is stated that the
last volume should be available in 1888
there are fears in some quarters that
at the present rate of progress this
nonstop serial" may not be completed
before 1850.
Research work, travelling expenses
wages and allowances are among the
most costly items in this production of
the massive official history.

Pay LabOrers in Corn
For Repairing Road

SPLIT, Jugoslavia.-Two points stand
out in connection with the completion
of work on the road which goes from
Shibenick to Dubrava, across the Piska
Pass, connecting the Dalmatian Coast
with the interior. The first is that the
road had not been repaired since it was
built by Napoleon. and the second is
that the laborerS were paid in kind.
Napoleon ordered the road to be built
for Stragetic purposes when he occupied
Dalmatia. The work was done rapidly
and well BY army engineers, so much
so that to this day the legend persists
in the countryside that Marshal Mar
mont would mount his horse in the
morning and survey a section of the
highway to be constructed. When he
l7ft the saddle in the evening that par
ticular section was finished.
Because of the economic crisis the
laborers received corn as wages instead
OF cash. The practice is becoming gen.
eral among the municipalities in this
region. -
