He was always playing tricks that sent people Into gales of laughter, Sometimes they stung, but that never bothered Edwin. His special "stunt" was mimicking People. He was fond of giving take offs on unpopular people, making sport of their peculiarities. People always said his imitations were 'just too good for anything." But they were a little bit afraid of Edwin's cleverness, Edwin's other talent was playing the plane. He did not know so many pleces, but he was always called upon to give them, and he enjoyed playing before an auvdience, always performing with many flourishes, Ofie Saturday afternoon one of his friends gave a party for a guest from out of town. Edwin didn't take well 12 De stranger. He was too "smart." in found himseif neglected, as the clever stranger held the attention of the party. - Finally, as the fun lagged, some one asked Edwin to play. Giladly he did 80, relieved to find himself in the lime- light again. He was not aware that taking off people" was also the #pecial stunt of the stranger. And while Edwin unconsciorsly started running his fingers, with many extra flourishes, up and down the plano, the guest from out of town took up his station behind Edwin, and as Edwin played, he mimicked. The others had difficulty in surpress- ing their laughter. The new boy tossed his head grandly, i ed back his hair, and made all the gestures that Edwin did, only to a greater degree, which made them comical. It was more because of his entertai than because of the music that they asked Edwin to play some more. But he said it was getting late and he had to be going soon anyway. So the party broke up. Outside, Edwin turned to his chum, who was walking home with him, and spoke gravely. "I want you to kick me if I ever attempt 'taking off any one. That fellow visiting Norton didn't take into account that the polished music rack on the plano was a perfect mir- ror," TODAY'S PUZZLE RYLNYE, EPULIAN, EDGRETRU, HT«REE.

EASY JUGGLING He was |¢ LESSON 3 Rasto, one of the most widely * known professional jugglers, has pre- © pared a series of teu lessons in easy Juggling especiaily for the readers of this newspaper. This is the third lesson. Another one next week. "Triple Wheel" Last week I told you I was mighty proud when I found I could Juggle two balls in one hand. But when I learned to juggle three bails in two hands--well! I just beamed all over. Like the double vertical throw, the "triple wheel" ig a matter of accuracy in throwing the bails, and speed with the hands. Start by passing one ball back and forth from one hand to the other, making it travel in an are about a foot and a half high. This pass is illus- trated in figure 1. Hold your arms loosely at your sides; free movemer is essential in all jugfling. It necessary to repeat this pass y till you are sure that you have perfect control of the ball Having practiced the arc pass, start on the horizontal pass, illustrated in \UWZHAT GUMMY THOIGHT IT vies UKE TO REBURED (1 A Book * 72 figure 2. This consists merely of passing the ball (rom one hand to the other in a straight, horizontal path. Combine Two Passes Then, combine the arc pass and the horizontal pass. This combination makes the single wheel. Start the ball from the right hand, which is always the starting' hand if you are right-handed. Pass the ball in the arc to the left. From the left pass the ball horizontally to the right. Continue the wheel, ¥ 1 You are sure of yourself with one ball, workin the second. To start with two, hold one ball, A, in the right hand, and the other, B, in the left hand. Throw A ball in the are toward the left hand. When- {it roaches the highest point of its course (it shoud be thrown at first, about two feet into the air) horizon- tally pass ball B from the left hand to the right. At this point the balls are in the position shown in figure 2 Catch A ball in the leff. Repeat this until you can do the pass continuously. Three Balls And now for the third ball. I warn you, this is difficult. The three-ball wheel takes practice. But the aver- age boy or girl can learn to do it. Hold, two of the balls, A and B, in the right hand. The third ball C is held in the left. Toss A in the are toward the left. When it reaches the highest point of the arc. toss up B. As you do so, horizontally pass the third ball C from the left hand to the right, thus clearing the left hana for A ball, which is now about to be caught, (See figure 4.) Try to keep the balls always the same distance apart. Throw them about three feet into the air. if The triple wheel is a pretty stunt.
