How do you know that?"

she had left in the glass and filed 1t
again for himself"
HIN! And If they had been mar
ried several years?'
"He would probably have rinsed the
glass"
very good. I think you have IN
you the elements of a born detective
1t is quite possible they are the couple
we are looking for. But there are evil
dences that the man and woman re-
ported by Bingham may also fulfill the
conditions"
'0They have been married some time"
What makes you think so?"

table In q hotel He read his morning
paper, while she sat taking In the cos

When they arose she put on her own

bingham never thought of that. 1t
takes a woman to observe certain con-
ditions. This Office shall never again
be without several of your sex for just
such work But, to return to this con-
pie you have lighted upon. the Gradys,
ing that they are In the third week Of
the honeymoon
During the first week of marriage a
couple are fearful of meeting some
friend to deprive them of each others
company. During the second they don't
care whether they do or not. During
the third they begin to pine for the
society of others. While watched
my quarry suddenly an old friend Of
the groom appeared. Grady's face,
which had been showing a bored ex-
preston for several days, lighted up
with a beautiful smile.
"And the wife?'
"Oh, she showed a brides animosity
to an Old friend of her husband. She
scowled at him. Nevertheless the two
men went off together hilarious"
Ibid you see the bridal pair when
they met again.
Yes. She looked ut him reproach-
fully. He tumbled all over himself to
get her back to a happy state of mind"
upon my word. you're very observ-
ing. Where did you learn all this2'
"I'm married." she replied In tone
which, though modest, meant that her
answer was conclusive.
He was evidently satisfied, for he
| turned again to his notes.
Bingham reports that his pair show
ed all the affection of a bride and
groom The husband kissed the wife
when he left her in the morning and
again when he returned in the even
ing"
Does ne say that he kissed her In
the dining room, in the hall and in
the vestibule? Does he say that she
waved to him from the Window
"Well, no; he doesn't say that"
"And that ne went back for another
kiss?"
Nor that either"
"Then why does Bingham assume TIC
couple to be newly married"
Right you are. l fear Bingham Is
not up to such delicate work as this"
1.-THE question is, Are the people
have been shadowing the pair that left
n. on the a. N. train on the It'll? Il
is known that that couple had beer
married two weeks. l struck them OF
the Sd. have given you the best Of
evidence that the Gradys have beer
married but three weeks. Therefore
that one condition is fulfilled; there
fore they are the guilty couple"
Hold on, there! You're a genius a
observation, but don't quite get on t.
your logic"
do you wish a conclusive reason TO
assuming them to be guiltyT'
"If you have one"
"Well. neither Of them likes children
saw a sweet little girl approach then
with something to sell. The woman
said, Get outv and the man swore q
her"
"And your connecting links for you
inference?"
ut Is possible for man to dislik
children and be honest but q woman
who could turn against dear littl
child would commit most any crime. -
The chief pondercd a few moments
then said:
you have given me two entirely Gil
ferent kinds Of evidence. The frs
showed remarkable power Of dedu<
ton: the second seems to me to be at
surd."
ITO me the second is oil important
Arrest the Gradys. They commute
the crime"
Have you any other reason ia
