SWELL" said the banker, IF you can
make anything out of that gibberish,
your imagination is more active than
mine"
at is not question of imagination"
said Sturgis; ''let lis proceed systemat-
ically. Here Is telegram blank de-
tached from C pad ! found on Arbo-
CASTS desk. Compare it's 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, 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"
"Very well. Now, then, let me hold
this blank SO that the reflection of its
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 resuH?'
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.
swat 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 C. begins this
word since it is capital; and the four
ish on the tail of the e. tells us plain.
ly enough where the word ends. Note
the space between the G. and the e.
Have you ever taken the trouble to as
certain how constant in any given
handwriting Is the space occupied by
the different letters? Try it some time.
Count the characters which you have
written in number of different lines,
reckoning spaces and punctuation
marks each as one character, and OBJ
serve how closely the results will
tally. Basing my conclusions on this
fact, I may safely affirm that the
first word Of the message is Came
Gave Give or some other word OF
four letters beginning with G. and
ending with e. I shall proceed to fill
up the balance of the message as I
read 1t between the letters"
Sturgis wrote slowly and carefully
for few minutes.
"Thera, behold the result"

Nothing whatever" replied the

"What?" exclaimed the reporter;
"do you mean to say that you do not
distinguish any marks on the plotting
paper?'
81 mean to say that do not see any
thing to which can attach any SEM
blance of meaning. The plotting pa
per has been used, and, of course,
there are ink marks upon it; but, as
far as can see, these are wholly dis
connected. They are entirely void Of
sense to my eyes, at any rate"
Examine the blotter again careful
ly in this direction" said sturgis,
drawing an imaginary line upon the
mirror, "and pay no attention to any
other marks which seem to cross these
lines. Now do you see anything7"
