Lad oceurHL This and the repeated
shouts of laughter seemd to prodtiee
aomo impression on him. Presently
he looked over his shoulder and said,
but without animation:
"It is very pood of you, .ir. surely;
very pood for you to take so kindly to
the little chicks. It does them pood
to laugh a bit, but it ain't much
they've had to make 'em lately."
"It is pood for all of "us now and
afiain. f take it." fcaid Jack, desisting
and going towards him, the children
gradually collecting in a far off corner
and comparing note.
"You can't laugh, sir, if yourhetirt's
heave; if you do it can be only a
sham."
While he was speaking be bad taken
the Bible from the fchelf, and resum
ing hi seat began to turn the leaves
over.
I'm an untaught, rough country
man, bir. but I have heard tell that
these strange things you do are only
tricks; uin t it o?"
Here was indeed a hopeful symptom,
lie wn roused then to take tome in
terest in what Lad occurred.
"All tricks, of course; it all come,
of practice," said Jack, as ho proceed
ed to explain some of the simple proc
esses. Loping to enchain the man's at
tention. "That's what I thought, sir. or I'd
have given you a job to do. I've beeu
in want of a real conjuror many a long
day. and n Jlhing less' 11 do. t-oo here,
air," he t-aid. a Le took a small, carefully-folded
paper from between the
leaves of the Bible, "do yon .see this?"
It w:ts half a Bank of Kugland note
fwr UjO.
How, sir, could any conjuror Luij
me to the other half?"
How did you come by it?" asked
Jock at once.
"I'll toll you. sir, Ehort as I caa
make it- Conjuror or no conjuror,
you've got a kindly heart, and I'm
main sure thistyou'ii help if you can."
Iran then describe ! how he had picked
up tho basket froiu tho lu:4o Liverpool
uprose.
"There was the linen; I've kept it.
Sei here; all marked quite pretty and
proper, with lace round llm eu,'cH, as
though its mother loved to make the
litilo one smart."
.I.tek e.c:;raind the linen; it bore a
motiograiu and crest. The first he
made oat t mean ll. I.. M.. and the
crest was prttniy two hammers crossed,
and tho inoito: "1 strike" not a com
mon er?st and he never retneiuburod
to have cecn it Leforo.
And was that ali?
'C'ept the bank note. That m ia

When the whole party were, assont
d"d in the drawing-room aft.jr dinner
a chorus of voices, headed by that of
the hostess, numrconed Jack to his
work. There appeared to be only one.

not only did cot trouble hune!f ts
back up the invitatiou. but when lh
lierformance was actually begun was
ut no pain to concetti Li. contempt
and disgust
The conjuror made the conventional
plum pudding in a Lat, fired wedding

courteously, "too much of a treasure,
to be risked in any conjuring trick.
An ordinary modern watch I might re
pluce. but not a work of art like this."
And ho handed it back to Sir Lewis
who received it with ill-concealed nt
isXaction. He was a much pleased,
probably, at Jack' expression of pos
sible failure ia the proposed trick as
at the recovery of hi property.
Another watch, however, was pound
d into a jelly and brought oft wholi
from a cabinet in an adjoining room.
Oh. but it i too preposterous." Sir
Lewis Ma'.laby wa-s heard to say, quit
angrily. The continued applause pro
foundly disgusted him. "This is the
uiere.Pt charlatanism. It must be put
an end to. It is the commonest im
posture. Thee are things which he
has coached up in advance. Let him
be tried with something which upob
tlio face of it he can not have learned
Iseforehand by artificial means."
"Try him. Sir Lewis, try him your
eelf," cried several voices.
"I scarcely like to lend myself tw
auch folly or encourage bo pitiable an
exhibition."
But he seemed to bo conscious flint
further p otest would lie in Jack's fa

havo in this pocket?" lie touched the
Ivft breast of his coat.
"A pocket-book."
"Bah! Every one carries a pocket

bystanders, all of whom were grow
