t» Peter’s Best T rick By S. R. ELLISON t’opyrtfUt. I*4 b K. A. irtlubarf i * !Vd*r'* Invitation to house parties and week ends always wound up with the request, wore or less Thinly veiled, that he come prepared to do tricks. But I’eter was not as tuuch of a nuisance os the usual parlor entertainer. He was a really clever magician, who under other clrcuniintaces might have gained fame as a professional, and he enjoyed bt« jierformaucea hitnself, though he was wont to proclaim that he was loved not for himself alone, but for w hat he could do. He did uot mind as a rule the prom lnenee given Ills work, but he had more than half decided to senJ polite re grots to Mrs. i'urhUHh when he iearnel that Edith Percy would l>e one of tho, guests. "Don’t forget to bring your very best tricks," Mr*. Furbusb wrote, “for we shall have private theatricals on Saturday evening, and they will come In very handy.'* refer thought of the scandalous fashion in whh h she hud sought Edith Percy for Tom Furbush. and there was a hidden meaning in las polite assurance that he would have some new experiments for the delectation of Mrs. Fur- ' hush's guests. Had it uot been for Tom Furhu«h. he thought, be would already have been able to win a “yes” from Edith, but twice, when be hud tieen on the verge | of a proposal, Tom hid lumbered around some corner with a sheepish grin to claim her for a dance or to deliver a message from his mother. Peter firmly believed that Mrs. Fur- j bush could feel him go iuto a conserva- I tory or cozy comer with Edith, even | though her back wus tunu l. There would be an additional charm In win- j cleg Edith under that g«*l lady's very nose. That she should have t derated him at her bouse party was not ti be explained up in any other grounl than that she nts-'c-l him for her en -nolament. and. tmth to fell. Mrs. Furbush waited long before she wrote the Invitation while she weighel the question of her * ed Only the kn iwledge r*; .! "THAT'S SOT THE same RlJtor that Peter’s tricks would probably j save her performance led her to ex- . tend the invitation, and for the rest ! she hud faith in her skill as a social ; general to keep Peter away from j Edith. That her confidence was not misplaced was easily apparent to poor Peter, who found himself blocked at every turn in his endeavor to steal a few minutes with Edith. So anxious | was Mrs. Furbush to keep them apart I that she made the grave error of I throwing Tom and Edith together too j much, and the girl was heartily sick of her boorish admirer long before the ! end of the week. peter smiled as he noted these signs, and. to Mrs. Furbush'* great delight, j he spent several hours a day in his j room practicing his tricks. It was her , first party in the new bouse, and she wanted it to be talked about. There were several tableaux, In which Edith and Tom frequently fig- 1 ured as lovers of history, and then I while the participants in the tableaux were dressing there were vocal and instrumental numbers. At last Peter was announced, and as he stepped upon the platform Edith, I escorted by Tom, passed down the aisle to where front seats had been reserved for the participants In the performance. In contrast with the amateurish work of those who had gone before Peter’s work was positively brilliant There were trieks he had never tried j before, and long before the end of his programme bis audience realized that he was working with some end In view , For his last trick he had saved the ring boxes. Borrowing half a dozen rings in the audience, he ground them In a mortar, and. stuffing them Into a gun, fired at a box which bad hung on the stage all through his performance. From this box he took a smaller eue. j and so oil until half a dozen were piled | upon the stage, before he reached the I last box. within which lay five r >#es, to ' the stems of which ring* were tied by j ribbons. These he quietly tossed rr> ; their owners and ran back to the stage “Is there any lady who has not rc i

1 1 Wived b. r ringr he called, wldi sn as sumption of anxiety. “You hav* not returned Mi** Percy * I ring." cttlbd Tom «hsrply. “That's so.” cdu tt i the rasgi daa examining the box. "I am sure mat asii were loaded Into th • gun. "Well." sad Tom couipUcstitly, “1 gu<•«» one of them hung Orv. then I i am positive Mt»a Percy ha* uot h f ring." Edith, sharing th * general beil.'f th i. i 1 something had happened to spoil th* j , 1 trick, sought to »si :i her companion , hut Tom would have none of it I The favor necor led P>- er’s trick* an ; ; grred him. He was clever in n >ue o! 1 the society way* aud b.tterl.v Jeaiou* 1 of those who were. If Peter ha I rnadt a ini»take he w *uld forte It b >iue; he I would humiliate him and make him cj i laughingstock. “I admit that Miss Percy gave tn«! th. ring." agreed Peter, "but 1 am also positive that I shot it Into that box I and not luto my pocket. Did any of i you see the charge scatter?" He turned J I to the audience. None wa» prepared | to admit the fact. “It must be around here somewhere." he went on anxiously a* he raised tbt * j bits of apparatus on the table aud i peered under them. “It couldn't have gone on the tabic,' ' Insisted Tom, "if you put It in tin gun." “Nor said Peter. "Quite to the con | trarv; I think I shot It into this bottle.’ , He tapped the buttle with a small ‘ hammer, and It fell apart, disclosing a j • turtledove with a riug titd al*out It* j ! neck. A murmur ran through the nu It I ; ence as the J*e >p!e realized that Peter’s i i anxiety had merely twen a bit of by 1 { play, and Tom bit his Ups until they | ' bled as he saw bow he had been led into helping Pieter out. Peter came forward with the dove. I and as he det.ieii.d the ring and slip- J \ i*ed It on Ed'th's finger he whispered! j something. I She blush'd and nodded, but Tom’* ! sharp eye* caught a g.lmpse of the ring. “HI." he raii.'d, "that - * not the same * ring:" "Is that your ring. Mbs Percy?” he | asked. “It is," she replied as a wave of pink | •wept over her cheeks. “But her* wa» a pearl.” persisted Tom. "This Is a diamond solitaire.” Then the full farce of what the ring meant swept over him, and he sat down very suddenly. "Since Mia* Percy acknowledges the ring as her own.” said Peter quietly "I do uot see what right you have to j I complain. Tne i*earl ring you will fin-1 also on Miss Percy’s finger." Tom glanced at the baud and saw I that Peter spoke the truth. ‘That’s all j right” he blustered, "but what's the other?" “That,” said Peter calmly, "is some- ‘ thing that does not particularly con- I ' cern ym” And more than Edith j sniiiel at the remark, for they realized j I that Peter Vane’s best trick was to 1 p ace an engagement ring on Edith's huger under Tom's very nose.

A comical Ij.*i..ac story ia thus quoted fr .m the Oaulois: The uovelist, it appears, flattered himself upon his skill in reading character ; from baud writing, and the story is of the test applied to his skill A lady; I brought him an extract from the exercise book of a twelve-year-old school ' boy and asked for an opinion as to the j youngster's character and prospect j Balzac inquired whether the child was her own. Answered in the negative, he | examined the exercise cart fully and de- j livered his Judgment. "Madame,” he Raid, “this child Is thick beaded and frivolous. He will never come to any good. If he were my child, I would I take him from school and put him te the plow." And then it had to be bro 1 ken gently to the graphologist that the j exercise on widen he Lai pronounce) j so severely was one of his own which ; had been discovered hidden away between the leaves of an oil lesson book.

Whenever he had occasion to j I I puni-h any of his tneu be Invariable I S concluded tbe sentence by explaining, j I “And you are another.” Every victim ; j ! noticed this strange remark, but none ] I i could understand the meaning of It, j I and naturally they were afraid to ask II But one day a newly promoted ser I j geaut determined to solve the mystery j I i He said to the sergeant: j "Sergeant, there Is one thing I should i like to ask you. I’ve often hcaru you | say after inflicting punishment on i man, ‘And you are another.’ What do 1 you reaHy mean by that remark?" I “Well," said the sergeant, smiling ’ “I will tell you. I know that whenever I am obliged to punish an evildoer the victim always says to himself, ‘What a stupid ass the sergeant is!’ I get even with him by saying. ‘And you arc another.’ Keep it dark.” "Look I’leaaant.** What would be the effect upon civilization If everybody would keep constantly In mind that suggestion of the photographer, “Look pleasant?” The I • mo»t difficult part of the photographer's j work is the effort to get the subject tie- | fore the camera to rid himself of the col-.1, stiff, set expression of bis face . and to replace It by a genial, kindly look or a smile. He Is not wllllug to 1 reproduce the sitter until he succeeds, because he knows that the change of i expression will transform the photograph.
