State and Territory of the Union, and
even in remote South Africa and on
the gold fields In the deserts of Austria

Next year We have the Presidential
campaign, in which all Americans are
deeply interested. Already the issues
are being discussed and the two great
parties are preparing for the first moves.
You will not want to miss any details,
and If you subscribe now your years

The Thrice-a-week World is absO-

but the pressure Of finger tips could
have caused just the appearance pre-
scented by these spots. By scrutinizing
them closely could even tell where
the thumb had rested and at once fore
saw the possibility of determining by
means of these marks both the size
and shape of the hand which had left
behind it so neat and unmistakable a
clew.
Wonderful! But what did it all mean :?
Why should man rest his finger tips
on this out of the way shelf? Had he
done so in an effort to balance himself
for look up the chimney? No, for
then the marks made by his fingers
would have extended to the edge Of the
shelf, whereas these were in the mid
die Of it. Their shape too, was round,
not oblong. Hence the pressure had
come from above and-ah! had it.
These impressions in the dust of the
shelf were just such as would be made
by a person steadying himself for a
close look at the old picture. And this
accounted also for the overturned
chair and for the handkerchief used as
a duster Some ones interest in this
picture had been greater than mine;
some one who was either very near
sighted or whose temperament was
such that only the closest inspection
would satisfy an aroused curiosity.
This gave me an idea, or, rather, i'm
pressed upon me the necessity of pre-

eye. Taking out my penknife, light
~ ran the point of my sharpest blade

had fixed them for all time in the well
