yond the others. Instantly my foot was on
the chair and the book in my hand. Did
1 find it of interest? Yes. but not on ac-
count of its contents, for they were pure
Greek TO me; but because 1t lacked the dust
on its upper edge which had marked every
other volume 1 had handled. This, then.
was what had attracted the unknown to
these shelves, this-let If can
member its title--Disquisition upon Old
Coastlines. Pshaw! I was wasting my
time. What had such a dry compendium
as this to do with the body lying in its
blood a few steps behind me. or with the
hand which had put out the candle upon
this dreadful deed? Nothing. I re-
push it one inch beyond the position in
which I found 1t. For, II it had tale to
tell, then was 1t my business to leave
that tale to be read by those who under
stood books better than l did.
My next move was toward the little table
holding the candelabrum with the glitterins
pendants. This table was one OF nest
standing against a nearby wall. Invest-
CATION proved that 1t had been lifted from
the others and brought to its present posi-
ton within very short space of time. For
the dust lying thick on its top was almost
entirely lacking from the one which had
been nested under 1t. Neither had the
candelabrum been standing there long, dust
being found under as well as around it

since IN and about 1t lay the heart of the
mystery for which the room was remark
able. But though have thus freely spoken
Of 1t. and though 1t was not absent from
my thoughts for moment, l had not ven
tured to approach 1t beyond a certain safe
radius. Now. in looking to see If 1 might
not lessen this radius 1 experienced thai
sudden and overwhelming interest in its

Street Noise Reform.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
desire, on behalf Of this noise distracted
community. to thank you for your timely
editorial In Saturdays Star relative to the
prevalence Of barbarous noises which af-
f1ct this city. For more than six years
have been trying to do some good mission
these disgraceful conditions In my own
neighborhood. and, with the commepdable
cooperation Of the lieutenant of the eighth
precinct, have succeeded to an appreciabIe
degree; but throughout other portions of
the city these outrageous noises continue
to rack the nerves Of quiet-loving citizens.
Your editorial is. therefore, most appropri
ate.
All that shrieking, believing tumult which
results in nothing but rasped and over
wrought nerves, tired bodies and endurance
strained to the cracking point-all that is
unnecessary, and a less vainglorious, less
self-satisf1ed civilization would soon find
some way of Kidding itself of these nerve
deStroyers. For this rafting, banging up
roar is largely responsible for the worn
out overstrained nerves which are the uni
versai characteristic Of urban life 1t is
impossible to compute the immense amount
of nervous energy which the residents of a
city expend in simply enduring that city's
noises; but without doubt 1t Is quite as
much as they expend on their necessary
daily labors.
The civilized view is that while absolute
quiet in a city is impossible that fact only
emphasizes the imperative need Of abolish
ing preventable noises. The average eve
is sufficiently educated to abhor loathsome
sights. and the average nose will not put
up with bad smells which have no good
reason for being. Hence public opinion de-
