which the burglars can DO warned.
The scientific man comes prepared To
kill, and when he Is cornercd d the
most merciless criminal YOU can
encounter. hut he will never kill
while there Is . hope Of es-
cape. A man u science shrinks
from murder except as the very

pain upon his face. 1T simply disgusts
me- What! Bill vosburgh compared
to Dan Noble! A common sneak thief
compared TO- the king Of scientists!
Why. Noble could do anything: Many
a time he sat in the very chair you 70
sitting in and talked to me. Some Of
the great bank burglars become cleo
tricians and chemists. A man who was
