a blotch of red paint marked the place
where the casket of gems had rested 1t
a poor clew, but it was a paint of
unusual color. With that slight daub the
detectives set to work. They hunted dog
gedy, persistently, fatally. When the daub
of red led them to No. 347 Second street
where John T. Graham lived, they hest
tated and almost turned back. But they
had traced the color to this man, as the
only one using such shade so he was ar

good repute, and Chief Murphy seemed
doubtful of his detectives for once But
they told their story. from the plundered
bureau drawers to the man under examina-
ton. The clew was not false, the detec-
tives had done their work well, and Ora

sonr B..as and water Fowl.

"Song Birds and Water Fowl" by H. E.
Parkhurst, treats very pleasurabiy of some
distinctive features of bird life. The work
does not profess to cover the whole field of
ORTHODOXY, and, in fact, only deals with
a very narrow portion of it, but what it
essays to do is done well. 1t deals with
the songs birds and water fowl of New
England and the Atlantic coast, including
bobolinks, hooded warblers, water thrushes,
gulls, cuckoos, stormy petrels, ospreys,
meadow larks, blue herons and other song
birds or water fowls familiar in the region
named, describing their habitats, habits
nests, songs, etc. The author is evidently
a lover and student of bird life and has the
personal note in the naturalist which, gives
individuality to his style. The work is APP
propriately illustrated. New York: Charles
