ing me with a shifting, uncertain glance,
'that such machine may take on the
character of the person who operates it
and betray the pecuIiarities which distin-
guish him?''
NO. / answered, smiling; "but that
seems as incredible as this gentleman S
anecdotes.
DOUBTLESS. But let US reflect a mo-
ment. Take writing machine for illus
tration. A typewriter has complicated
mechanism, and as, unlike steam-engine,
it has no power except that which the
operator gives from his own personal re-
sources, its efficiency is wholly dependent
upon him. It's delicate bars and levers,
made of highly tempered steel, are highly
sensitive. In the wide and complex range
of impulses which they receive from the
operator their molecular constitution
must undergo specific notifications which
the distinctive individual touch of the ope-
rator imparts. There will ensue definite
rearrangement of the metallic crystals,
bearing an absolute relation to the tern
perament of the operator. Is not this con-
ceivable?"
"It at least is interesting" I answered.
"But granted that it is true, how can it be
proved and what purpose could the knowl-
edge server"
acknowledge" he rejoined, sis not to be
despised merely because no use for it may
appear. AS. for testing the matter, l do
not care to take the trouble, but | can
imagine that very sensitive and highly
organized person might learn something
of the character of writing-machine' s
owner by making. close study OF its
peculiarities. This is my experience. |
use typewriter very much and find the
use of my machine easy and pleasant, but
l know that with a strange machine,
in all outward respects identically re-
sembling mine, my thoughts stumble and
the work is laborious."

was suddenly summoned one day about
week after my return to San Francisco to
write for one of the newspapers an analysis
of the published disclosures of a singularly
ferocious and mysterious murder that had
been committed two days before. The
facts were exceedingly meager, the prin-
cipal discoveries being these:
A strong, horid man for few days past
had occupied room in lodging house
on Market street, the noisiest thorough
| fare in San Francisco. He was free and
| hearty of manner and had gone out a good
deal. He had paid for weeks lodging
in advance and had given no name, or i
he had the landlady could not remember
/ it and search of his valise failed to give
any clew to his identity. except card
which bore the rame, Thomas Quigley.'
his did not recall to my mind the indi.
dent of the strangers on the train.
| The man drank heavily. One morning
the cham bermaid found a card pinned to
the door of his room, saying that he did
not wish to be disturbed that day. The
card remained there all that day and the
next. Toward evening of the second day
the landlady, becoming uneasy, tried to
rouse her lodger and then to open the
door, but found that impossible. Upon
attempting to peer through the keyhole
! she saw that it had been covered by some

Thomas Quigley, whose crime is so
familiar to the older persons living

familiar to the older persons living
hereabout, was not altogether in
excusable, for had known as much then
as now 1 might not have gone astray.
Still, when I reflect upon the inexplicabIe
mystery of the typewriter, and the strange
confusion and entanglements into which
it led me, fail upon uncertain conclusions
with regard to my matured estimate Of
that famous case.
1t was under the following circumstances
that I met Quigley and the man whom he
afterward murdered:
took the train at Salt Lake City for
San Francisco, and on the following morn
ing. when 1 went early into the dressing
room of the car. l discovered two men
sitting there fully dressed and talking very
earnestly together. They did not discover
my entrance at once, but when they did
they were evidently embarrassed, and sat
in an uneasy silence. 1t might have been
possible for me to hear little of what
they had been saying had listened, but
had heard nothing and had been present
but moment. Afterward / accounted
for their confusion on the ground of their
uncertainty concerning the length of time
I might have been an eavesdropper. 1 gave
SO little attention at that time to their odd
behavior that it made only a very slight
impression. Having a way of seeing with
out looking, / became conscious of quick
signs which they made and which 1 con-
strued as having reference to me; but I
cared nothing for that.
They soon resumed their talking, and
when had finished my toilet took seat
opposite them. next to the window, and
addressed some Indifferent though civil
remark to them. The larger of the two
responded promptly; the other remained
silent, with pair of dark sharp eyes,
deeply shaded by the visor of black
travelling cap which he wore. Had it not
been for their strange recent conduct /
should not have studied them so narrowly.
The two men sat side by side, the smaller
near the window, to which, afterward re.
membered, he kept his back constantly
turned. His features were fine and per-
feet. his dropping mustache hardly con
cealing thin, shrewt mouth. His man
ner might have been taken to be satur-
nine and surly, but at that time it
seemed to me to have a habitual air o.
being bored.
His companion was his opposite in every
respect. Though not very large man be
| was larger than the other, having a very
forid face, reddish hair and deep red mus
tache, and uncommonly large hands,
heavily freckled and covered with coarse
hair. His blue eyes were frank and pleas
ing;' he faced the light openly, talked
freely and was clearly man OF a large and
hearty temperament. He was constructed
on much ruder lines than the other and
lacked the others refinement. but he was
far more comfortable companion.
Although there were no introductions
and no names were spoken in the strange
conversation which soon ensued, saw
that a valise on the floor at the feet of the
smaller man mad painted on it the name
"Thomas Quigley." was not aware that
