"Then it is settled. But it is time you were at the hall. I will give
you a supply of small bills and, change, as you may have to change some
bills." He drew from his side pocket a wallet, which he placed in the
hands of our hero. "This wallet contains twenty dollars," he said: "Of
course you will bring me back that amount, in addition to what you take
at the door this evening." "Very well, sir." "You can wait for me at the
close of the evening, and hand me all together. Now go over to the hall,
as the doors are to be open at half past seven o'clock." When Frank

ventriloquism. When he came to this part of the entertainment, he said:
"Will any young gentleman assist me?" Frank Heath immediately left his
seat and took up his position beside the professor. "Now, sir," said the
professor, "I want to ask you a question or two. Will you answer me
truly?" A gruff voice appeared to proceed from Frank's mouth, saying:
"Yes, sir." "Are you married, sir?" Again the same gruff voice answered:
"Yes, sir; I wish I wasn't;" to the great delight of the small boys.
"Indeed, sir! I hope your wife doesn't make it uncomfortable for you."
"She licks me," Frank appeared to answer. "I am sorry. What does she
lick you with?" "With a broomstick." Frank looked foolish and there was
a general laugh. "I hope she doesn't treat
