When I was quite young man I
counted among my close friends .
private detective. The two of us were
enjoying a quiet smoke and chat in his
coy little Office one day when the
door opened and his boy ushered IN .
lady client. She was apparently under
twenty, and was quite fashionably at
tired. Her form was tall and slender
and her face exceedingly attractive,
but bore traces of sone sudden and
overwhelming anaiction, for her eyes
were red with weeping.
"Mr. Banks, the detective, I pre-
sume?" she queried, turning, after .
quick glance at me, to my more mature
companion.
"At your service. madam Pray be
seated"
81 am in sore trouble, sir" she said,
in tremulous tones, applying her hand
kerchief to her eyes. Death has sud
denly robbed me Of father and the
prison, if nothing worse, threatens to
take dear cousin from me-"
THAT is very sad" my friend said,
alphabetically. 'But compose your
self. my dear lady; we may yet avert
the latter half Of your trouble"
''Oh, sir! God grant that you may,
for my cousin, whom they suspect of
the murder of my poor father, was to
be my husband" she said, the serious
ness Of the case quite overcoming her
natural modesty. but he is innocent,
l know it, feel it, in spite of the evil
dence against him. Oh, believe me,
Sir, Harry is rs innocent of this dread
full deed as I ann
MY dear young lady" said Banks,
encouragingly, "before hearing the
first detail of your case I am con-
WINGED that he is. My belief in feminine
intuitions is based upon the solid
foundation of experience. Be calm,
therefore, and let me have the story
from the beginning"
The circumstances she related were
as fellows: Her father, Thomas
Kempton, was the proprietor of a
large furniture factory. he was a
man who paid strict attention to bust
ness, and was an the habit of remain
ing in his Office after the factory had
closed for the night and the men had

Banks laughed good humoredly,
and then relapsed into Illuminating
silence.
1t was about four o'clock in the aft
factory Office, Banks carrying pack
age about fifteen inches square 1t was
wrapped in plain brown paper, bore no
label, tag or address of any sort, and
as far as knew might be any one Of
the thousand things between tin Of
biscuits and an internal machine
Neither Gregg nor his quarry had yet
been heard from.
"You will oblige me by gathering all
the employees of the factory together
in this Office, Mr.. Williams" said
Banks, addressing the head clerk.
Let the outer doors be locked and
when the men are all in here see that
the Office door is securely fastened also.

err" he went on after Mr.. Williams had
given orders to have the men called.
'Will you kindly remove the ribbon,
or if you have an unused one better
still"
This being brought Banks proceeded
to unite his package. Removing the
outer wrapper he laid bare plain
cardboard box. the cover of which he
was on the point of lifting when he
looked up to see the eyes of all present
gazing upon it with eager curiosity.
Mine, he afterward told me, were fair
u popping out of my head. As there
was no particular hurry the little devil
which tempts US TO tantalize entered
into him, he stayed his hand and with
a most quizzical expression of coun-
tenance he lounged back in his chair
and coolly pulled at his cigarette.
In Ave minutes the men, looking
somewhat mystified, were all assem-
bled, and everything was ready for the
next step. With a quick glance Banks
ran his eye over the forty faces before
him. Then turning to me he whispered
