INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May ls.-The enior
Of Fuller University declare that II the
faculty does not act favorably on their Pc
tition and reinstate all their classmates by
next Tuesday. the whole class will walk out
on a strike. The senior class has had its
petition for the reinstatement Of the four
suspended members signed by the entire
class and presented to the faculty.
Several of the seniors were suspended
with a number Of other students for p~artici-
the college residence by a crowd Of students
some time ago. The faculty, unable to
ascertain the ringleaders, reinstated the
Undergraduates and left the seniors out a
week longer on the theory that they were
the logical leaders. The members Of the
graduating class say this is an unfair dis
elimination and that they will carry out
their threat Of strike to bring tho faculty

He rose suddenly and passed into the adjoining
room. Conway turned and stared at Hatch in
quiringly, with queer expression on his face.
Is he anything of joker" he asked.
"No, but he's good deal of a wonder, replied
Hatch

anything about it, and all he has to do is to go in

Come on" commanded Hatch
The sleepy little old town of Scituate sprawls
along two or three miles of Massachusetts coast
facing the boldly in series of cliffs which rise up
and sink away with the utmost suddenness 1t was
here, top of the cliffs that Henry c. H Wandering
had lived alone for two three months. He
occupied queer little shack through which the

The simple lock on the door was no obstacle In
less than half hour the skilful hands of the Scot

small oil silk bags, larger than his little finger.
He ripped one OPEN and six pearls fell into his hands
The Varron pearls, all right he exclaimed.

He had heard step at the door, then two voices

as some one inserted a key in the lock After
moment the door opened and, crouching back in the
shadow they heard two enter. 1t was Just at
that psychological moment that Conway stepped out
and faced them.
Il want you, Leighton' he said calmly
Hatch could not see beyond the Scotland Yard
uncomfortaby close to his head. Conway leaped
forward; Hatch his swing and one of the
men fell Then another shot Conway stag
gered little. There was a scurrying of feet the
clatter of a revolver the floor and the front door

He opened the door, and Hatch heard him run

The Thinking Machine, by boldness and ceverness.
Suppose, when Lady Varron fell Leighton had had
stout elastic fastened high up, at the shoulder say,
inside his coat sleeve and the end of this elastic with
a clamp of some sort drawn down until the eas-
tic taut, and fastened to his cuff?
Say that the necklace dropped off as he leaned
over to help Lady Varron. In the momentary ex-
citement he could, under their very noses have
fastened the clamp to the necklace. Instantly the
jewels would have disappeared up his sleeve, and
he could have submitted to any sort of perfunctory
search of his pockets as he suggested.
Immediately he left the ball room he hid the
necklace as he had hidden other jewels, and before
you, Mr.. Conway, knew of the theft, wrote and
mailed full directions to Wandering here what to
do. You did not intercept any letters, of course
until after you knew of this theft. Leighton per-
haps had had other dealings with Wandering in
other parts of the world, when he not closely
watched as in this particular instance | dare say,
however he had them all planned carefully, for fear
the very thing that did happen in this case would
happen"
Half an hour later Conway shook hands with The
Thinking Machine and thanked him heartily.
You see," remarked The Thinking Machine,
gentlemen of your profession too little common
sense. Remember that and two always make
four not sometimes, but all the time
Leighton has not yet been caught. Wandering
made model prisoner.

Did you search the motor boat?' he demanded
Yes the reply. I'VE nearly tore it to
pieces even took it out of the water We also
searched the on her, Harry Cheshire. You
must have been mistaken
Are you she spoke got rid of the
Jewels to another vessel?'
She didn't go another vessel" was the
reply " | met her in my launch at the harbor
mouth and came in with her
When Leighton ashore he subjected to
a careful search and the contents of his four trunks
minutelv examined. To this he submitted good
humoredly, and looking at Conway he inquired:
Are you satisfied?
MOP blazed Conway savagely
What? Not after searching me twice, and my
state room once?"
Conway did not answer-he didn't dare to at the
moment. Leighton nodded pleasantly, and strolled
up the dock chatting carelessly with Harry Cheshire
Conway made no attempt to follow them 1t wasn't
worth withdrawing worth while any more.
The Thinking Machine-Professor Augustus S. F.
X. Van Dusen, Ph.D LID, FRS, MD, etc, etc
did not to regard the problem as at all diff
later. Hutchinson Hatch, reporter, brought it to
him Hatch had some good friends in the customs
office where Conway had told his story. He learned
from them that that office had refused to have any
thing do with the case insisting that the Scotland
Yard man must be mistaken
Crushed in spirit, manged in reputation, and
tainted by Leightons final words, Conway took
most desoate view of life. 1t about this time

other vessel; obviously one could not throw
them ashore, and l have never heard of
such a thing as trained fish which might
have brought them in. Now, what is the
shore with comparative safety"
He looked from one to another inquir-
ingly. There is only onepossible answer"
said the scientist at last; that is, birds,
homing pigeons"
by Jove!" exclaimed Conway, and he
stared at Wandering. And l did notice
dozens of them about the place at Scituate."
The jewels were on the ship as you sus-
pected," resumed the scientist, unset and
probably suspended in long oil silk bag in
the drain pipe l mentioned. They were
thrown into the motor boat, wrapped in the
newspapers. Two miles away from the
Romantic they were fastened to homing
pigeons, and one by one the pigeons were
released. You, Mr. Conway, could see the
boat clearly at that distance; but you could
not possibly see a bird rise from it. The
birds went to their home, Manderlings place
at Scituate. Homing pigeons are generally
kept in automatically closing compartments,
and each pigeon was locked in as it arrived.
"Of course, with homing pigeons as a
clue we could get somewhere. There are
numerous homing pigeon associations and
fanciers, and it was possible that one of
these would know an Englishman who had,
say, twenty-five or fifty birds, and pre-
sumably lived somewhere near Boston. One
did know. He gave me the name of Henry
c. H. Wandering Harry is a corruption of
Henry; and Henry c., Henry Cheshire, or
Harry Cheshire-the name Wandering gave
when he was searched on the wharf"
Can you explain how Leighton was
able to get the necklace in the first place?"
asked Conway.

thing to do with the case, insisting that the
Yard man must be mistaken.
Crushed in spirit, mangled in reputatic
haunted by Leighton's final words, Conway
most desolate view of life. 1t was about tt
that Hatch met him. Then he took him
gently by the hand and led him to The
Thinking Machine.
Conway unburdened himself at length,
and with vitriolic emphasis. For an hour
he went on, while the scientist leaned back
in his chair with his great yellow head pill
lowed on a cushion and squinted agrees
sively at the ceiling At the end of the
hour The Thinking Machine knew as much
of the Varron problem as Conway knew,
and knew as much of Leighton as any
man knew, except Leighton.
How many stones were in the neck
lace?' the scientist asked.
One hundred and seventy-two," replied
Conway.
Was the man in the motor boat-Harry
Cheshire you call him-an Englishman?"
Yes, in speech, manner, and appear
ance."
For long time The Thinking Machine
twiddled his fingers, while Conway and the
reporter sat staring at him lmpatiently.
Hatch knew, from the past, that something
tangible, something that led somewhere,
would come from that wonderful analytical
BRAIN Conway, not knowing, was only
hopefully curious; but like most men of
his profession, he wanted action; sitting
down and thinking didn't seem to get
anywhere.
You see, Mr.. Conway" said the scientist
at last, you haven't proved anything.
Your Investigations, as a matter of fact,
indicate that Leighton did not take the
pearls, therefore did not bring them with
him. There is only one thing that indi-
Gates he might have. That is the throwing
of the newspapers into the motor boat.
That one act seems to have been sense
less one, unless"
Unless the pearls were concealed in the

"Or unless he was amusing himself at V
