CHAPTER III.

confess that I was considerably
startled by this fresh proof of the
practical nature of my companions S
theories.
My respect for his powers of anal
ysis increased wondrously. There still
remained some lurking suspicion in
my mind, however, that the whole
thing was a prearranged episode, in
tended to dazzle me- though what
earthly object he could have in taking
me in was past my comprehension.
When | looked at him he had fin
ished reading the note, and his eyes
assumed the vacant, lack luster ex-
preston which showed mental alb
straction.
How in the world did you deduce
that" | asked.
"Deduce what?" said he, petulantly.
why, that he was a retired SER
geant of marines"
81 have no time for trifles," he re.
piled brusquely; then, with a smile,
Excuse my rudeness. You broke the
thread of my thoughts; but perhaps
it is just as well. So you actually
were not able to see that the man was
sergeant of marines"
mo, indeed"
1T was easier to know it than to
explain why l know 1t. If you were
asked to prove that two and two made
four, you might find some difficulty.
and yet you are quite sure of that
fact. Even across the street | could
see a great blue anchor tattooed on
the back of the fellows hand. That
smacked of the sea. He had a mill
tary carriage, however, and regulation
side whiskers. There we have the
marine. He was man with some
amount of self-importance and a GER
tain air of command. You must have
observed the way in which he held
his head and swung his cane. A steady,
respectable, middle-aged man, too; on
the face of him-all facts which led
>nse to believe that he had been a ser
geant."

him:

l asked. Does Lecoq come up to your
idea of a detective?"
Sherlock Holmes shifted sardonical-
ly.
'Lecoq was a miserable blunderer,"
he said in an angry voice; "he had
only one thing to recommend him, and
that was his energy. That book made
me positively ill.,"
'The question was how to identify

is no crime to detect, or, at most
some bungling villany with a motive
so transparent that even a Scotland
Yard official can see through it,"
I was still annoyed at his bumptious
style of conversation. thought it best
to change the topic.
81 wonder what that fellow is look
ing for?" I asked. pointing to a stal
wart, plainly dressed individual who
was walking slowly down the Other
side of the street, looking anxiously al
the numbers. He had large blue en-
velope in his hand. and was evidently
the bearer of a message.
"You mean the retired sergeant O.

self. "He knows that cannot verif!

The scores of chemicals obtained
from coal tar are produced through a
process of dstlllatlon which is almost
perfection. For instance. when the tar,
after the tar water-strong in ammonia
has been drained off, is heated in a
tank that serves as a still to a moder-
ate temperature, say 105 degrees, ben
zine is produced. When 100 more de-
grees of temperature have been added.
other light oils appear, and then comes
the carbolic oil from which carbollc
acid is made. CreosOte is given off at
little higher temperature, and then
comes anthracite oil, the raw mate
rial of many products.
Some of the well known drugs which
are secured from the several distilla
tions of coal tar are antlpyrine, phena-
cetine, sulphonal, antifebrln and ace
tanilaid. Saccharin, which is almost
3oO times sweeter than cane sugar, is a
tar product.
Coiors and dyes of every tint and
nue. are made from this one-time waste
product. Aniline, one of the best known
Oh the tar products, was discovered as
far back as 1858, and when it was
learned that from aniline beautiful col.
ors could be made new world of in
vestigation was opened to chemists
ana since then every color that can
be produced by vegetable or animal
matter has been made from coal tar.

dismissed the case Of the City Of En-

cause the attorneys for the city had
not numbered and indexed the record
Of the case. The court said;

lection to Lawyer Referring to the
President o. Teddy Roosevelt Erie
Company submits Data.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 9.--Almost the
entire time Of yesterdays sessions Of
the coal strike commission was taken
up by the mine workers in present
ing their side Of the controversy
with G. B. Markle & Co. in the Halle
ton region. The miners placed wit
nesses on the stand who gave testi-
mony to show that the company re-
fused to employ them because they
belonged to the union, had evicted
them from their homes for the same
cause, that the docking system was
intolerable; that the question Of the
men getting the ten per cent. in
wages granted as q result Of the 1900
strike is much in doubt, because the
men do not know how the company
is figuring it out; that the price in
powder, which enters into the COM
putation Of the increase, has been
raised and that the size OF the mine
ears has increased, but the wages
have not. Two Hungarian women,
one Of them the mother of the boy
who testified on Saturday, were
placed on the stand and told how the
Markle company deducted house
rent from the last wages Of their
husbands, who were killed in the
mines, and how the company at
tempted to get them to sign a paper
which would absolve the Markles
from damages for the death Of the
men. The women also confirmed the
story told by the breaker boy that
the children had to work without pay
until the debt owed by the dead
fathers was paid off.
The Markle company was not rep
resented by its own lawyers before
the commission, although it had am
pie notice that testimony effecting
its collisries would be presented.
The commissioners expect the COM
pany to bring in evidence in rebuttal
to the stories told by witnesses on
Saturday and yesterday.
The commissioners were very much
surprised yesterday to learn that the
ten per cent. increase granted in 1900
was not . straight-out raise in
wages, but instead "a per cent.
increase and . reduction in powder
Of ~ per cent, making the net in
crease In earnings ten per cent,
which the miners claim Is not being
paid by the Markle company, through
some way Of figuring which they do
net understand. The question came
in for considerable discussion and no
one in the court room could give
