"Well,'' said the banker, eff you can
make anything out of that gibberish,
your Imagination is more active than
mine.''
''It is not a question of imagination"
said Sturgis; ''let us proceed systemat-
ically. Here is a telegram blank de-
tached from G pad I found on Arbo-
CASTS desk. Compare its size with the
outline of the marks on the blotter,
and you will see, in the first place, that
the message would just fit snugly on
this sheet. Next, you will probably
admit that the first line of marks on the
blotter probably contain date; the
second, name; the third, an address;
the last. a signature, and the interme-
date lines, message"
81 am quite willing to concede so
much; for no business man would be
likely to write telegram differently"
Every well. Now, then, let me hold
this blank so that the reflection of it's
vertical rulings may appear just above
the image of the message. These lines,
remember, separate the words of the
message. Extend them mentally, and
note how they divide the letters of the
blotter. Will you hold these sheets
while transcribe the result ?"
In few minutes more the reporter
had drawn several lines on his copy of
the reflection in the mirror.
81 don't see that you are any better
off now than you were BEFORE" re-
marked Dunlap, examining the result.
'Wait minute. These vertical lines,
we say, divide the words of the message.
There are five words to the line; only
two on the last line before the sig
nature; that is to say, IL words in
the message. Now, consider the first
word. Evidently the G. begins this
word since it is capital; and the -four

the space between the c. and the e.

CHAPTER XII.

AS he spoke, Sturgis handed Dunlap
the sheet of paper upon which he had
traced plan of the Knickerbocker
bank.
From this point on" he continued,
81 have indicated the various trails on
the diagram. The dotted lines repre-
sent Arbogast's footprints; the con-
tinuous lines show Chatham's trail"
"How can you distinguish between
the two?" inquired Dunlap.
"There is no difficulty about that"
replied Sturgis. ''The differences are
very marked. I know Arbogast's foot
because I have seen it; and know
that the other one is Chatham's be-
cause you recognized the man from
the description l gave of him."
eyes, know. But how could you
describe him so accurately when you
have never seen him."
81 shall come to that presently" said
Sturgis, smiling; 'you must let me
tell my story in my own way, if am
to tell it connectedly'
"Very WE'LL" said the banker, resign
eddy. Hold on, though" he ex-
claimed; "you speak of two sets of
trails; but what is this third set Of
lines, marked by alternate dots and
dashes?'
''They represent the traces of a third
individual, who will appear upon the
scene later. on. He has not yet re-
ceived his cue. But, since you mention
him, we may put him down in the cast
as * the unknown quantity of the
problem; for do not yet know his
name. Now, then; let me see. Where
was i? Your interruption has made
me lose the thread. Oh, yes; the men
were in this room. Arbogast, nervous
and excited, paced back and forth,
like a Gagged animal. Chatham was
more collected. 1t was warm in the
bank, as compared with the intense
cold outside; he removed his overcoat
and threw it over the back of that
chair in the corner. This fact is
shown by the direction of the footsteps
toward the chair, and by mark di-
rectly below the arm of the chair
where the garment trailed upon the
wet floor. Chatham's carelessness was
fraught with serious consequences;

BY THE SEA.

i sat by the sea when the sun shone bright
And flooded its depths with a blaze of light.
And the golden sheen and emerald green
Like gems in the crown of a fairy queen
Flashed forth in glittering splendor:
And the soft winds sighed DER the shin
ing tide,
And the murmr ring waves to the breeze
replied
In tones that were low and tender.
I stood by the sea when the moon was high,
And the stars shone out from the midnight
sky,
And wondrous sight was that shimmering
light
That flashed from the crests of the surges
bright,
Like stars in trembling motion;
And the moons soft ray on the waters lay,
And its cleaning track made a bright
highway
Across the slumbering ocean.
stood by the sea when the lightning
And the waves ran high, and the thun-
der crashed,
And the binding spray, that was dashed
away
BY the bowling wind, in the furious fray
Brought death to the hardy toiler;
When his ship at last by the stormy blast,
A dismantled wreck on the rocks was cast,
prey to the ruthless spoiler.
The beautiful sea! The treacherous sea!
A joy and terror it is to me;
A beautiful sight, by day or by night,
Is the tranquil sea. by whose margin bright
The fisherman loves to wander;
A terrible thing when its rage doth bring
The angel of death with his sable wing
To darkcn the homesteads yonder.
