Carolyn Wells Tell of JPrplxlnff
Paulei with Figure.
RAINY DAY" ! " cried
Lucy, in tones which
one would expect from
the discoverer of a new
gold mine. "Now,
uncle Bob, it's the very
day for puzzles, and if you please I
choose mathematical ones."
" Well; I do know one more," said
Uncle Bob. "Lucy, you may write
three figures on your paper."
Obediently Lucy wrote down 8, 3, 4,
taking care that her uncle should not
see them.
" Now under that write another line
of three figures."
So under the 8, 3, 4, Lucy wrote 2,
9, 6.
" Now pass the paper to Fred, and,
Fred, you may write two more rows
under Lucy's two rows.
So Fred wrote two more rows of three
figures each, and the sum now stood
thus :

They came and brought her presents,
In the form of j retty toys.

" Don't let me see them," cautioned
Uncle Bob. "Fold the paper, to be
sure."
So Lucy folded the paper and laid it
under a book.
"It's real magic this time," said Uncle
Bob, " and you must sit very still until
those numbers fix themselves clearly in
my brain, and I can add them up."
Lucy gazed, fascinated at her uncle,
and he stared straight at her, until after
a few moments, he said. " Liicy, get
up and walk over to that small mirror
that hangs by the window."
Lucy did as she was told, and found
herself looking into an oval mirror not
much larger than her own chubby face.
" Now," said her uncle, still in a mys
terious whisper, "breathe slowly but
firmly on the looking glass."
Greatly mystified, Lucy breathed on
the glass, when to her surprise some
figures instantly appeared upon the
smooth surface. The figures were
1,998, " . .
"Where did they come from?" cried
Lucy, her eyes wide with wonder.
"It's the answer to your sum," said
her uncle. "If you'll pull out your
paper from under the book and add the
figures yourself I think you will find it
correct."
Trembling with excitement, Lucy
pulled the paper from beneath the book,,
and adding up the figures, found that,
sure enough, the total was 1,998.
With comical looks of amazement, she
glanced back and forth from the figures
on the mirror to those on the paper
"This beats all your other tricks
uncle," she said. " Please show me how
to do it."
Lucy sat still and tried the amazing
experiment again.
This time her uncle told her to write
three rows of three figures each, under
one another, bidding Fred write three
more rows under hers. So Lucy wrote
three rows, and Fred added three rows
with this result :

"Don't add them yet," said her uncle
but fold the paper, that I may not see it'r
Again Lucy folded the paper and put

it under a book, while her uncle sat
seemingly lost in thought. "At last he
said : " Go to the book shelf, Lucy, and
take down that copy of 4 Robinson.
Crusoe ' and open it at page 100."
Lucy did so, and found in the book at
the page mentioned a slip of paper, bear
ing the figures 2,997. With a shriek of
delight, she ran back for her own paper,
added up the figures, and the sum wa&
exactly 2997.
"We'll try once again," said Uncle
Bob ; "and all of us take a hand in it
Here, I'll write one line myself."
Taking the pencil, Uncle Bob wrote
rapidly, 6,234,863. Passing the paper to
Lucy, he bade her write a row beneath
it. So under Uncle Bob's figures, Lucy
wrote 3,128,491.
"Your turn next, Fred," said Uncle
Bob, and under the other lines Fred
wrote 6,871,508.
"Fold it up quickly," said Uncle Bob,
"and put it under a book, that none of
us may see it."
Lucy did so, and waited breathlessly
for a magical answer to appear from
somewhere.
"I can't do this sum," said Uncle Bob
"You'll have to find the answer your
self, Lucy."
"I ?' said Lucy. "Where can I find it
without looking at the paper?"
"Look in your pocket," said her uncle
"Don't pretend you havn't it hidden in
your pocket !"
