JIMMY MARLIN AND "This time." remarked Squeak, the ii'.t rainy day that he came to spend with .linimy. "I'm going to show you how I made the first money I ever earned, and h" threw two long pieces of old rope on the porch. "Why. you can't eurn money tietng knots, can you?" demanded Jimmy, look ing astonished. "You can earn money doing anything that other tieople are too lazy to do or don t know how," was Squeak's reply "I made tH once in one day tielng; knots, as you call it," he went on with a smile. "The way it hapiencd was this man had his boat on a trolley and he j 'ho.ight the rotxi was old, so he hauled it out and put down a new one und told me 1 could have the old rope if I wanted ll There was Km feet of it " "And you sold it for $0? My, what lin k'." exclaimed .litnniy "No, I didn't." Squeak told him "It wasn't worth cents as rope, but the labor put on only a quarter of it made it worth J. I cut it in lengths, put about ten wall knots on each piece and sold them for 5j cents apiece I could have sold a hundred of them. They made the finest fenders you ever saw Kvery man with a motor boat was crazy for them " "Fenderfe?" repeated Jimmy, inquiringly- "Fenders are tho things thoy put over the side tokeep boats from bumping against things too hard, and scratching the (aint.

You can make up a supply in the winter and have them for presents to your boating friends in the summer. Wtdl, here we go," and Squeak took hold of two long pieces of rope "First of all," ho began, "double two pieces of the same length. Take about six foot length to practise with Vn the two loop onds together whore the rojies are doubled and then whip them with a piece of stout twine so as to hold th" four strands In th" form of a square, like this "Now hold these two loops tight in your left list and let the four ends hang over like this Better make, a mark on each strand, so we can call them No. 1, 2, 3 and I." Tig. '.'. "I guess this is going to be a hard one, " observed Jimmy, looking dubious. "busiest thing you ever saw," Squeak assured him. "Twice as easy as u wall knot, and you can do that now with your eyes shut lake hold of No. I and Just lay it over No. 2, like this: (See top of next column.)

HIS KNOTS "dee. but that's a lint tangle!" ie- marked Jimmy, regirdmg the arrange-j inent with considerable interest. 1 "lungle nothing. itnrted Squeak. "We will just haul these four ends taut, and you II lind there' nothing to it but another wall knot made with lour strands , ' instead oi tnree nw look at it l'ig " "Is that all1" asked Jimmy, looking at tho tour long ends, of rope that still dangled on the ground. "Start over and do the same thing again," answered Squeak, "fall any of them No 1 on the next round, so that you take them in turn and run the fourth one down through the loop of the first. Keep her u-gomg until you have used up all but about six Inches of tho rope, or until your fender is as long as you want jt Then you put an artistic finish to it." "I thought something hard was coin ing." was Jimmy's comment as he watched Squeak deftly throwing the ends of rope one over the other anil hauling the lourth one through every time, the B.'ties of knols gradually piling up higher and higher as Squeak shifted bis grip each tune. "Ihdn'l I teach you how to crown a wall knot last week?" demanded Squeak as he got near the end of his four pieces of rope. "Think you can do it now?" "Sure'" was the confident response. "Then jiisi put four wall and crown knots on those four ends." Squeak told him, "so that they will set tight and snug under the lust loop the end came through." Jimmy was only too glad of tho chanro to show thai he had not forgotten his last lesson and when he had dono he found the whole thing looked like this. 1'IK S' "When you make these things for uieps," Squeak told him, "before you He he two starting loop with twine seo I ig t make one large enough for a good handle and tho other loop only large enough to push tho longer one through It, Alter the fender is done it makes a nice finish to have the singlestritnd for a handle, w illi the smaller loop going around it."

When you have teddy's tricks with figures Teddy had eeveral tricks that required ! a certain amount of address, or what ' conjurors call patter to carry them off properly, but he was usually very clever ; in suiting the tricks he had to show to the company that wanted to see something I not caring what. One thing he always liked to do was to snow a trick that was suited to some pursuit or game that one or two of the persons in the company were known to be fond of. Here is one of the tricks that he liked to try on checker players. "You can blindfold me and let me sit willi my back to the table," he would say, "and I will show you that even if I cannot play chess or checkers blindfold. J can do something just as remarkable." Then he would set out the checker board and men, fifteen of each color After being blindfolded he would ask some parson to place two rows of checkers on the table, each row of a different color. or they might be placed in a group in stead of a row. The only condition was that tho number in eat'h row or group should not be the same, and there ought to bo at least seven or eight in tho smaller, although it really did not matter This done, he would a-k which group had the more men in it. If they said the black, he asked them to tell him the difference between the two. Supposo they said the white men were two less. "Only two," he would say in assumed astonishment. "That's just enough to make a single kingl Well, let us take about three white men away from Uiat row, "he would add. This being done. Teddy would ask them to take all the white men that were left and put black men on top of them, so that they would look like black king, "I'm sorry," ho would say. "but I don't know what we can do with the five black men that nro still without any crowns, as I see you have five of them left . " Some persons think this a very re markable trick, because tho answer or ending conies so suddenly and is so un expected. Hut i. is really simple and would bo seen through at once if it were not covered up by patter. Hero is the explanation- Supposo that those were the two rows of clickers, "H" for black and "W" for white. BBBBBBBBBB v w w w w w w w w B As soon as ho was told that the differ ence between the numbers iu each row was two it did not matter how many he told them to take away from the white row, as the trick was already done, be cause all Teddy had to do w.i to add this difference of two to the number he gave himself and that must bo the number that would l left without crowns. When ho said to take away three tho ' -V VIIU two lines looked like this BBBBBBBBB w w w w w w B B Now when the six white men that are left are crowned with six black men there must bo live men left without crowns mid tho result would hao been tho same no matter what number of men were in each row. provided the difference between ' them hod remained at two. Supposo that fifteen men were in our-1 row ami only six in the other. I'he original clifTeience is nine. No matter how many you ask th.'tn to lake away, by adding that number to nine yem muni arrive hi tne number that will remain, without crowns ' It is said that a gteedy Hcotc hman who knew this trick used it to posses, himself of u number of gold coins thai he al ttl fellow laborer found while digging 11 cellar under an old house. The Scotchman proposed that before they count them he would turn his back , and name the number nnd that If be wem right lie should take them all. Ir Uv lulled his companion should hi,ve them all. This bi'iiii; n creed 1.) the. other counted then' all w-y aiefuy "Now add co to it," commanded the'' Scotchman. : .1- i straightened out the paper you will hvs a pattern with which you can easily traco ovals. Heavy letter paper is good for thl purpose. Figures B, C and D show how to draw mice in various positions. On tho unoqual four sided Figure K'yo i build your drawing of that awkward toddling penguin. "Done." said tho other. "What of if "Now ye'll maybe subtract the whole amount from 099," persisted tho Scotch man, "and, mind ye, I'm asking no ques tions, only telling ye." "Oono again," said tho other, "but never a bit are ye nearer to guessing it " "Hide a wee," returned the Scotchman. 'Now just put down 333 und tok awa th I ,a!-t figures from It and ye'll no bo far off lllP tottle or the lilt money If you have studied algebra you will probably be able to discover the principle that underlies both theso tricks with figures. Tho difference is that in the trick with tho checkers tho operator must bo told whut the difference Is, whereat ,lle 'Scotchman b trick with the money il 1101 necessary to lie told unvthing. Suppose that the number of coins hai been 240. To this add 668 and we get 9W Tako this from 999 and we have B3, so tnut "hen we take away this last re- mainder from 333 wo arrive at tho exact number of the coins found, no. Now you can probably discover how to work this trick with something liesides coins, such as coffee beans or buttons, or anything that conies handy at the time. PATSEVS PUZZLES. The next time Putney joined the group of idlers ulout tho studios who used to spin yarns and nsk ono another conun drums he pretended to be very angry "Sure, one would think it was cold ye were," be Imgim, "telling me how to mak" a tire, and there's not un anirtment house in the town us warm as this one." Of course they liad to laugh, because they knew he must luve made out th answer to the List puzzle they gave him When they askcs.1 him how long it took him to read it, be replied, "Not more than ten seconds did it take me to read the wl.ol thing," which was quite true, because he referred to leaving read Mr Pniitoor'n wntitig 011 the Kick of the card, winch went this way: If the grate be empty put coat on If the grate be full stop putlnc real on "This tlmo we've got something easier for you," they said "Three one add up three, don't they?" they began.
