TWO Crack Detectives Thought So
From His Photograph.
Washington Post: your average de-
tective is about as fat witted a citizen IA
exists" said George X. Rinthman of Bos-
ton at the Raleigh. He may be clever
I'm his line, but outside of hat his mind
is a bowling wilderness. His point OF
view is narrow and his judgment con-
tracted as a. result of his calling.
"A friend of mine who is fond of show
ing up the defects Of his fellowman had
a lot of fun lately with a pair OF Boston's
leading detectives. He called the sleuths
into his office in the most serious way
and exhibited to them the picture Of a
tough looking individual, about whose
identity he was crazy for information.
He fattered his visitors into the notion
that II they could unravel the puzzle he
would regard them as world-beaters
Each gazed at the photo long and earnest
ly. Both were positive that 1t was in the
rogues' gallery. One of them identified
IL as being the counterfeit presentmeni
Of a notorious bank robber; his mate
thought it the likeness of an equally noted
forger.
"When they got through my friend
thereof they read the name Of the orig.
inal-William Dean Howells. Mr.. How.
ellis isn't handsome, but he was never &C.
cused before Of being an ornament Of the
rogues' galleries. But Mr.. HoweIls
laughed when the incident was narrated
in his presence"

at the same time leading the way
through the open door, flashing his
lantern to right and left as he went
along.
The next room was empty, too, but
for some old barrels and chairs up In
one corner. Barnes paused for a mo-
ment to listen.
Hear anything, Thorne?" he asked.
mo, do your"
Yes; sounds like heavy breathing"
More k steam escaping some

to hear the sound as we'll as his COM
panion.
The chief advanced to the door that
communicated with the last room.
1t is here that we shall find some

ne tried the knob, Then, with a push
or MS huge shoulders, he broke the
door In, and kicking aside the shattered
wood, they stood within the room. Ii
seemed to be vacant, too. The chairs
about a table in the center, the butt OF
a cigarette and n glass showed that 4
must have been recently occupied.

pled Barnes, for his lantern was sc
faint that 1t only illuminated a small
space OF the room at a time.
There Is that queer rushing SOUND

Inspector Thorne.
Barnes, peering about with his Ian
tern, suddenly uttered an exclamation,
ana then, STOPPING, lifted UP some
heavy body from the floor. As the in
spector stepped forward to help him he
saw that IT was 4 man and insensible.
He 1t was who produced the strange
sounds they had heard. They lifted
him into a sitting position on one Of tho
chairs. His eyes were closed, but his
heaVy breathing sounded loud in tho
silence of the ROOM.
The expression on his chiefs face
made Barnes ask this question: "Do

ton. We'll, rather. This is the thar
