Magic Egg Trick

A N ordinary egg is used in this trick. The
performer must allow the egg to be
thoroughly examined by the audience before he
begins. He must warn the examiners to be
careful not to crack the shell.
When the egg Is returned to him he simply
sets it in an egg-cup, the big end down. Next
he taps the top of the egg several times with
a buttonhook. After several gentle taps he
hits hard enough to break the shell. Then he
inserts the buttonhook and withdraws finger
ring from within the egg OF course the audi
ence is startled. How in the world could a
ring get inside a perfectly normal and un-
broken egg?
The egg-cup covers up the secret. AS prepa-
ration for the trick a piece of soap is set
in the bottom of the cup. Then the ring Is
set on edge in the soap. OF course, no one
can examine the cup. It just stands inno-
Gently to one side and no one suspects it OF
any black magic.

Secret Service Club-to learn how to become de-

O o'clock in the morning at the underground ougout

''I don't know" Jack gasped, 'but we've got
to do something! Poor little Bozo-and poor
Louise"
Breathing hard they tripped and stumbled
through the woods following the dim outline OF
Don's figure speeding before them The dark
meant nothing-shadows and tree stumps which
had loomed terrifyingly before them as they
went to the dugout now went unnoticed.
As Don raced madly ahead, hundred
thoughts blurred in his mind. He pictured little
Bozo lying dead, with Louise crying over his
tiny body He thought of Louise running out to
save the terrier and being brutally struck by one
of the men. His jumbed mind envisioned hor-
ribe scenes in which the friendly little dog was
tortured before Louise,s Mortified eyes.
One thing stood out clearly. He had to do
something. Somehow, he had to stop them.
I've got to-Ive got to-" he thought fran
tically, as he plunged up a steep hill. At the
top. he stopped suddenly, aad called back to
the others.

"You better go-and tell him to come to

Eddie hesitated minute started to protest,
then turned and ran downhil across the field
to the dim lights of Middleburg.
For moment neither of the two boys spoke.
Then Don broke the silence.

them-weve got to!" And he turned and ran
toward Thompsons, Jack painting at his side
Together they dashed across the field, neither
speaking They were breathing hard now; and
their hearts pounded. Jack had dropped a
little behind but Don sped ON. At the edge OF
the field they rolled under fence and raced
down the lane toward the big house About a
hundred feet from the tall hedge. Don slowed
down and waited for Jack to catch UP.
TOO breathless to speak, he put his finger
to his lips and beckoned Jack to follow.
The two crouched and ran silently to the hedge.
Cautiously they crept along toward the drive
way. The house was still dark. Grabbing
Jacks arm, Don stopped, and the two stood
listening tensely.
Behind the hedge all seemed quiet. Sud-
denly Don's body stifened, and he gTipped
Jacks wrist. From the driveway came the soft
whirr Of quiet automobile engine.
Suddenly the quiet was split by sharp yelp
The boys sprang forward, racing toward the
driveway As they turned in, brilliant lights
struck them, binding their eyes. A car shot
by them and as 1t passed they saw struggling
little form wrapped in a blanket, held tightly
by q man In the back seat.
"Stop, stop!" screamed Don, but his voice
was lost in the noise Of the car as it swung out
of the driveway and roared down the road

waiting a minute, the Chief slipped off in the
opposite direction. The boys stared at each
other, wide-eyed. Eddie and Jack looked in
stinctively toward Don, expecting him to break
the tense silence
But Don said nothing. His hands gripped the
edge of the little table; the wavering light cast
shadows on the wiry muscles in his arms. Sud-
denly Eddie jumped up, knocking his chair
over backward.
"They're-they're after Bozo!" he gasped.
They're going to steal Bozo-"
"YehseBozo," cried Jack excitedly.

Don sprang to his feet, grabbing his fash

the wall
"Come ON, fellows" he cried. Come on let's

The former testified he saw Decker pick up a bottle on the premises, and Rox said he saw him with something he thought was a bottle.
 H. J. Eberhart said he was in Doelker's office when he returned from the building and that he had the bottles at that time. They talked about the contents and Eberhart tasted the contents of one to see if it was dope.
 Decker took the stand in his own defense, testifying at some length regarding his chiropractic education and local practice. He said he had found the bottles and took them to his office and later they were taken by arresting offi- cers Brown, Newcombe and Feero.
