"we have bad considerable talk tonight tor and against mind reading but 1 note that the majority do not be- j ^eve the mind cnn be rer.d. I think, j however, I can prove to the satisfac- j fion of all that it can be done. There ; ' is no doubt whatever about it. Mind j reading is a science." "Tow do you propose to demonstrate it?" inquired ;t skeptical listener. "I'll bet S50 you can't do it." "Well, I would use a deck of or-*! dinary playing card?. You would se- j lect a card, look at its face, place it in j a book, hand it to the secretary and': have him hold it. He will decide wheth- j er the card you choose has been read in j your mind. J shall not touch the card j at any time during the experiment, j .Moreover, the test will i>e made by telephone." I "By telephone!" the clubman exclaimed. I "Yes." by telephone. "Announce the face of the card to the persons here.; and a mind-reading friend of mine whom you will get on the wire, will tell v<m the name of the card you have seVrfed. Von will not him. nor will j he see you. but he will tell you the card just the same." The cHih'rp.n put S"o :n the secretary's ' hands and it was covered by the young operator. On request the secretary pro duced a new deck of cards from his desk, shuffled them, had them cut. and : t?ie clubman makinpr the wager drew a card. Holding it above his bend, where all might see. lie cried. "Gentlemen. T have drawn the Jack of Diamonds." Tben. placing it in a book, he gave it to the secretary, who sat on it. "Now." said the operator. "<?<> to the telephone and call up Palisade 7,077. Ask for Mr. Fred Jones. When von tell him what you want he will tell you the name of the card." The clubman called the number. The connection was made without delay. j "I want Mr. Fred Jones." | "I am Mr. Fred Jones," a voice retried. "What do you want?" "I have drawn a card from a deck at the Apollo club and have wagered that you can't tell what it is without seeing l it. What card did I draw?" ~ j "T can see that card plainly pictured in your mind," replied the voi-^. "It was the Jack of Diamonds." "Right," said the clubman, and hung ::r> the receiver. So the stakes were handed over to the operator. He was urged to rep^t the performance on another bet of T^o but. he declined. "I would surely win," he remarked, 1 t j?v i;i__ -.3 _r anci i chjii c iikt* int *>i iiciuiiv; p. >urc thin?, esneciallv with friends, it can be done every time without fail. The mind of the man who goes to the telephone is just like one open book to my friend Tones. But I have another reason for not asking him to duplicate the feat. It is very exhausting, and consequently too great a strain on his nerve. He has done the work so ofUn lately that he is on the verge of ner\ous prostration. T hope you v/iil excuse me." t And. bowing himself out Oi the T.nm with the clubman who had introduced him, he disapeared. Two weeks later Dick Cavton. the man who had lost th; wa^er, met the >ame group of men in rhe Apoiio billiard room. "Fellows," he said.

That stranger's performance puzzled me, so I followed the fellow around town for a number of days and nights. He visited various clubs and saloons and got acquainted. So he introduced the mindreading topic, got only one bet in each place, won it and made himself scarce, just as he did in this club. "At the Belvidere I ma-le myself known to him. "That's a pretty slick trick you are working." 1 said S pp ?>e, vju 'it me in on it0 "All right," he replied. "I'm going to skip the town tonight. 1 !! lell you how the trick is worked.

" 'All that is necessary is to have a deck of cards, a code and a planted partner. You station him in a saloon or any other convenient place that has a telephone. In your code every one of the is crivpri a different name. All the partner has to do is to sit still and answer questions when they are asked over the wire. Here is the code we use. Copy it. if you wish.' "I did copy it. fellows, and here it is it being the very one that those smooth scoundrels memorized and used witlf | such good effect in their business of ; taking about $1,500 out of Yonkers inside of two weeks or less. When the cistim goes to the telephone and asks for the mythical person whose name the operator gives, the planted partner instantly knows the card that has been I drawn, for the name he calls is the name of the extracted card. "Here is the code for the diamond suit; ace of diamonds, Mary Anderson; king of diamonds. Henry Lee; | queen of diamonds, jack of diamonds; ten of diamonds, Samuel Hunt; nine of diafonds.
