"Oh!" said Mrs. Mllroy.
The tower was hoie, and the tower
she meant to keep. And Kohcicd, her
little maid, was stilfkcn with bteath

becca, "nobody can stand against the

"I'll see whether they can or not!"
said .Miss Isidoia Ives, "Be sure you
keep the kettles well filled, Kcbece.i,

And whenever she ieeelod thtouph

"Miss lps," bp puffed stei toiously,
"don't be llustiadd! It's only Isia.-q
Jenkins."
"filess the man's heait'" said Mls
L.I-ldnia, "why didn't he say so befoio"
And what on eaith did ou want here,
Jenkins?
"It's n Induce. Miss Ies," said Jen
kins, uim had mauled Miss Isldora's
old nurse, and somehow felt himself
to be ronuetted with th family.
"A lodger''' tepeattd Miss lve.
"This isn't a lodging hoiine, man

"Ycs'm I'm quite awaie of that,"
Ifxild Isiael, meekly "And wheie no of-

iilone and Ulipioteeted "
"I don't know what you tall un
protected," brusquely Interrupted Miss
I'e. "I've got a loaded gun and a
slv-gullon kettle of boiling water here,"
"And," mildly went on Isinel Jen
kins, "this 'cru gentleman, a Mi. Mar
shall of Alabama, wanted n pleasant
lodging In the neighborhood, which
meals could be look at the Toplady
Aims though our npatttuciitR Is all oc
cupied with the gentry as come to tlsh
and shoot, through Octobel and N'o-
voinbei nnd It might be u consolation
to you, Miss Ives, to hae a gentleman
about the premises."
Mr. Marshall pi o veil himself a quiet
and peaceable member of the lltt'e
household. He liked dogs, and allow d
Miss Ives' King Chalks spaniel to
sleep, undisturbed, amid the papeis on
his table.
Ho was paitlal to bird", and enteied
at once Into the most friendly of al
lium os with the pal rot and the macaw.
Ho giafted Miss IMdora's orange tiee
for her, and showed her a new way to
train her wax plants.
And nt the end of four weeks Miss
Isldoni put Into execution a plan which
she had long been forming.
"Mr. Mnrha11," slip said, "it's a gieat
deal of tumble for you to go three times
fi day tiumplng down that long hill to
the Toplady Aims and back again. You
nip no longer n stranger to us heie. We
havo learned to respect and trust ou.
If you thooso to take your meals with
us here. I shall be quite willing to acl
mlt ou to my frugal table, as a
f i lend."
Mr. Maishall's countenance elinnge 1
oddly. He made a curious sound in ids
tin oat as If bo weio swallowing some
thing. "Miss Isidoia," he said, "I can't,"
"Can't!" lepeated the lady.
"Nothing could Induce mo to eat salt
under this loof," said Mr. Marshall, in
coheiently. "Itless nnd save us! Is the man
mad?" cried Miss Isidoia Ives.
"I am, socially speaking, a fiaud,"
said the stranger, "n forget v."
Miss Ives sat down on the sofa in a
helpless way and stared at him.
"Hut your sweet giaclousness nnd
kindness hiuc completed me," added
Mr. Marshall.
"What do ou mean?" said Miss Ives.
"Just this." said the stranger. "1
am here on false piotenses. I am your
cousin, the plalntllf. My name Isn't
Maishall, but Gideon Marshall Kobln
son." "Ma'am," whlspeied the heai tlcss
maid, who turned absolutely gieen on
healing the name of the family enemy.
"shall I bring the kettle of boiling
water?"
"Kebecca," says Miss Ives, "hold
our tongue and go out and feed the
ouiir tinkers. I am fully competent
to manage this matter myself."
And Kebecca, feeling heiself put
jlown, depaited.
"I came hete," went on Mr. Kobln
son, "to look into the facts of the case
myself. I have heatd of youi pteju
dlees against me "
"Yes, I think so," lntcrpobed Miss
Ivej.
"And I do not blame j,ou for them,"
said Mr. Koblnson. "Now that I nm
peiuonally acquainted with ou, Miss
Ives, nothing could Induce me to prose
cute this"
"Iniquitous claim!" Intel posed Isl
dora. "Iniquitous claim!" .uceded Ml. Kob
lnson, with a repi'tltlou of the swal
lowing sound. "Just what jou please
to tall it. I respect you as a lady, but
r apiueeiatc you as a relative; but, of
coin so. knowjng who I am, you cannot
toleiate me any longer ns our filend.
I will pack my bag and depait at
once. I can only feel regietful that
I have deceived vou so long. I feel
mjself to be a hypocilte and a swind
le!!" He waited meekly to receive the full
tide of Miss Isldora's curbed wrath,
She put out her plump llttlp hand, with
four dimples In the four points.
"Don't go," she said In a low voice,
"What!" cried the Incredulous plain
tiff. "There's no reason w hy we shouldn't
be fi lends," said Miss Ives, In her
odd, brusque way. "Things seem so
very Ulffcient, now that we aie ac
quainted with each other. Couldn't
w e cfimpi omlse?"
"Isidoia," said Mr. Koblnson, "we'io
cousins, you know, twice removed. I
may call you lsldora?"
"Oh, icrtainly," said Miss Ives.

was giving in the quilnt old town ot i
llanbury. I had run through my usu il '
stock of country class perforin inces, '
In which the familiar tuinlps, carro.
and i.ibblts had been pioduced from
every possible part of the room, an 1
had determined to give my audience
a regular slap-up-to-date Egyptian
hall sort of a inysteiy for a finale. In
short, I pledged myself to get rid of
my propei ties In full face ot the audi
ence without leaving a trace of their
existence.
"The Hi st p.ut of the trick went well
enough. It was merely to make tho
vegetable disappear Into the rabbits
a feat which, as I had purposely kept
the latter for some hours without food,
war speedily accomplished. The lest
of the tilck was to piocluce tho sedi
tion. It would apparently .consist of
lolling the two rflbbits Into one, undr
cover of the usual silk handkei chief,
and throwing the resulting animal Into
the air above the audience, when it
would suddenly must Into a highly col
ored balloon and float up Into the
i afters until such time as I should
choose to haul It down. Xeedless to
say, the genuine labblts had to be
smuggled Into my side pockets and a
dummy substituted containing a com
pactly folded balloon which would

Intel mil spilngs were released.
"This letter movement was biought
about by a mlnlatuie explosion, wh'ch
was carefully timed to occur at the
moment the dummy uibblt icached
the highest point In Its ascent and was
pioduced by the sudden mixture of a
small quantity of sulphur and chlorati
potash. Unfoitunatcly for me.
however, the hunger of my tlrst rabbit
had been by no means assuaged b
his meal of uncooked canot. So soon
er was he Inside my pocket than he
Introduced his teeth Into the dummy
which lay there, waiting the correct
moment for production. That nibble
was his last, and, ulas, was well nigh
the end of me. too. Ills teeth had no
sooner crashed Into the detonating
mixture than I was conscious of a se
veie shock In the legion of my coat
tails. These were blown to smither
eens, whilst personally I was only
snv ed from severe Injui les by reason
of the paraphernalia of a picvlous
trick, with which I was luckily en
cumbpted. "A second disaster occurred to me
dutlng the same week whilst goln
through the ancient 'globe of gold fish'
tilck. These so-called 'globes' are not
loally globulat, but are shallow
tioughs of thin glass which fit Into
tho sldc.pockets ami ate rendered wa
ter tight by means of a rubber cap
which Is withdrawn with the empty
handkerchief when the bowl is 'pro
duced.' Unfoitun.Uely for me, how
ever, the rubber cap had split with
out my knowledge, Tho icsult was
that on Inctutlously stooping to pick
up a card I was hoirlficd to find a
perfect cataract of water and wtig
tllng llsh descending out of the depths
of my dress coit.
"One of my favotite caul tricks wai
once lulned by the proverbial smill
boy, who, I may add, should never be
allowed upon the platfoun except In
cises of extienie urgency, I had con
siderably m stifled iny audience bv
eiuslng six unimpeachable citizens to
unwittingly choose the same card lioni
a pack which each was at llbeity t.
shuffle for himself befoie choosing
The card In each case was the ace nt
lieatts, and, I explained, was chosen
by each of them whilst unconsciously
under my own hypnotic direction,
"The trick ended, I Incautiously
tluew down the cards near the small
buy In question. Whilst my. back was
momentailly toward hlin, he calmlv
tinned them over, with the result that,
almost befoie I had time to realize the
situation, he wis gleefully announcing
to my "friends In fiotit" that the caul'
weie all 'aeeu ot hearts'"
"Peihaps one of tho oldest and mint
popular ttlcks of any Is that In which
some dozens of yards of ilbbons va
tlous at tides of clothing and a largo
number of uppaiently soil I balls sum
produced fiom a borrowed hat. The
balls, however, aio really thin cloth

disk Is then placed Into tho empty
