THE STOLEN BANK NOTES

With quick fingers he began to unwind the

a tiny sheet of paper-a cigarette paper. 1t

thread wound over it SO smoothly that it was
impossible to see that it had ever been re-

The detective and Hatch were leaning over
his shoulder watching him curiously. The
tiny paper Notwithstanding was written

ciphered it.

would have been easy matter for Dolan to
have recovered it ALL and that without in the
least exciting the suspicion of those who might
be watching him; for a saloon next door

"Dolan reasoned" The Thinking Machine
explained, that even if he was never permitted
to see his wife, she would probably use that
thread and in time find the directions for re-
covering the money. Further he argued that
the police would never suspect that spool
contained the secret for which they sought so
long. His conversation with his wife to-day
was merely to draw her attention to something
which would require her to use the spool Of
brown thread. The brown coat was all that he
could think of. And that's all, think"
Dolan was sadly surprised man when news
OF the recovery of the money was broken to
him. But certain quaint philosophy didn't
desert him. He gazed at Detective Mallory
incredulously as the story was told, and at the
end went over and sat down on his cell COT

When he saw it The Thinking Machine nodded
his head abruptly as if it was just what he had
expected.
1.-THE money can't be in that, and III bet
my head on it, declared Detective Mallory
fatty. There isn't room for it."
The Thinking Machine gave him glance of
pity. "We know" he said, that the money
isn't in this coat. But can't you see that it is
perfectly possible that slip of paper on which
Dolan has written down the hiding place of the
money can be hidden in it somewhere? Can't
you see that he asked for this coat, which is
not so good one as the one he is wearing now,
in order to attract his wife's attention to it!
Can't you see it is the one definite thing that
he mentioned when he knew that in all prob
ability he would not be permitted to see his
wife again, at least for long timer"
Then, seam by seam, the brown coat was
ripped to pieces. Each piece in turn was SUBJ
mitted to the sharpest scrutiny. Nothing re-
all as wasted effort, and when there remained
nothing of the coat save strips of cloth and
lining he was inclined to be triumphant. The
Thinking Machine was merely thoughtful.

Hatch went out again. In half an hour he
returned with spool of brown thread. The
Thinking Machines white fingers seized upon
it eagerly, and his watery, squint eyes exam
ined it. A portion of it had been used-the
spool was only half gone. But he noted-and
as he did his eyes reflected glitter of triumph
that the paper cap on each end was still in
place.

as soup ladies. and up in the Himalayas
saw painted tin cans used as head dresses for
some of the idols"
He may have added that American tin cans
are used as hand mirrors by South Sea Island
bellies and as ornaments dangling from their
necks by some of the Patagonian chiefs. In
the Arctic regions Pearry. found Eskimos using
tin cans, that were originally packed with a
favorite brand of California peaches for bird
traps. The bright flashing of the tin on the
top of pole attracted the curiosity of birds. so
they could be induced to fly close to the hun
tiers. A queer sort of tambourine or drum
was found by one explorer in the Terra del
Fuego Islands made out of tin cans. A tribe
of Indians on the shores of Bering Strait
picked up an American tin can which had been
washed ashore, and preserved it as a strange
.elic of the sea. When white explorer
visited them, the Indians were equally divided
as to it's origin. Some thought it was the skin
of new kind of sea monster, and Others a
memento from the gods with powers for good
or evil. 1t was sacredly preserved and adj
mired until the white visitor presented the
Indians with half dozen similar cans after
he had eaten the contents of soup and vege-
tables from them.

A Young Industry

WE have been manufacturing tin plate since
w 1892, and tin cans for longer period.
The industry now is one of the most important
in the world. Every month we make enough
tin cans to belt the globe, if the sides were
spread open. Last year we made upward of
twelve hundred million tin cans, the contents of
which would support all the standing armies
of the world for several years. There are up
ward of two thousand canneries in the United
States, and they annually put up nearly one
hundred million dollars worth of canned goods.

Everything in Cans


THE specialist in canning is coming to the
1 front. Under new processes nearly every
kind of food eaten now can be put up in cans.
Even pies and cakes can be made imperishable
in cans, and fresh buns and bread can be
served in the Arctic regions months after
baking day. Canned goods are safe against
decay, moth, and rust, and hence are of special
value in the Tropics. Before we get through
with the Panama Canal there will be enough
empty tin cans on the isthmus to pave road
way from ocean to ocean-and tin can high
way. might not be bad idea in that land of
sand and silt
American invention and ingenuity are
responsible for the supremacy of the tin can.
A few years ago machine was invented for
cutting and stripping tin plates for can
factories, which saves million dollars year
to the industry. Then man came along with
a patent soldering invention which further
revolutionized the work. To-day the can
factories take in tin plate at one end and spout
out tin cans of all sizes and shapes at the other
end, much as Niagara pours its seething
waters over the falls. 1t is veritab1e deluge
of tin cans that comes forth from the factories
AS the result of all this we have become to a
large extent tin can people, with our food
cooked at central factories more and more
instead of in our individual kitchens.
