Show Many years ago "tho Wizard of ihfr North" gave some performances in Edinburgh, Ed-inburgh, and Professor BlacMe was one of the crowd who went to see them. An he was making his way in he felt something some-thing at his coattail, and putting his hand into his pocket he found an egg. This he took out and most adroitly transferred it to the pocket of a young man just in front of him, a person as unlike himself as can well be imagined. Arrived in the hall, he remarked where this young man placed himself and chose his own seat in a corner as remote as possible. When tho time oame for "Wizard" Anderson to "trouble" him for the egg, ho arose and explained thai he had nothing of the sort in his pocket but that he believed "that gentleman" could produce it, pointing to the astonished aston-ished young man, whose surprise, however, how-ever, by no means equaled that of the Kizard.
