escape, and that skipped downstairs,
or up, and that Finnegan and Murphy
and Tony and the old woman heard,
and that Ffnnegan saw as well as
heard"
Then the ramifications Of the prob
lem must be, to you, how did this
man reach the fire-escape without
your knowledge, you being right I'M
der it; how did he enter the room
without raising the window or break
ing it; how did he escape so miracu-
lousy; and what did he enter the
room at all for? For he could have
thrown the bomb through the glass,
you know, and it would have been
both safer for him and more within
reason"
Birsch set his lips and for moment
said nothing. Finally he burst forth:
Seems to me you amt helping any,
thing great! In minute you'll make
1T out that nobody could do it, and
that consequently it wasn't done!"
Il am only showing you, so far, my
friend, what your method amounts
to-" said the doctor. by it I can
prove or disprove anything under the
sun, because it has to do with ap-
pearances, instead of character, with
the superficials as distinguished from
the realities. l can even turn COM
pletely around and prove to you, by
your method, that each one of these
persons whom we have, by my meth
cd, proved innocent, is the only per-
son who could have committed the
crime. What you lack is-psychol-
ogy." DR.. Furnivall did not wish to
say brains" nor learning" nor 'fn-
telligence," nor even training" 50,
after some hesitation, he said "psy-
chology." And he continued: "Now,
the moment / saw this letter and
heard the story, knew Individually
the guilty party"
"The-the nation you did," burst
forth the detective, involuntarily.
'The easiest thing in the world"
smiled the doctor. "Just consider
this letter-was it written by an edu-
Gated or an uneducated person?"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-04-09

facts that you possibly can, and then
understand that you almost certainly
have not learned them all, and par
ttcularly the most necessary ones.
Then, making large allowances for
what you don't know, you should
round up the person concerned whose
character fits suggest into all the
circumstances and question him. The
usual method Is to get few facts and
then go at the job without the slight
est regard for the character of the in
dividuals involved, neglecting to allow
for the facts that are unknown. In
this way always some innocent person
becomes the first suspect. In this
particular case you say there is only
one way in which this peculiar assault
and still more peculiar escape could
have happened. That Is one Of the
things you don't know, and for which
you have made no allowance in your
deductions. Suppose, for example,
that a criminal, after starting down
the stairs, and seeing or hearing Muir
ply there at the foot, hurried back
again and up the higher flight? Fin
negan had dropped to the street, and
he could easily have done so, making
his escape by way of the roof"
Detective Birsch made an involun-
tary movement of chagrin.
you see," smiled DR.. Furnivall,
you had your idea, the first that
came to you, SO firmly fixed in your
mind, jumped to the belief in Muir
phys guilt so quickly, not seeing any
other way, and were so incapable of
entertaining any other idea that you
really could not recognize this other
way out though it so openly confront
ed you. Then you never dreamed of
considering the characters of the sew
eral persons concerned. There were
three people in that tenement, any one
of whom could, as far as physical pos
sibilities so, have done the act, and
it seems as if nobody else could. Not

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women I am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter." Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RED, Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
umequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.

another soul was near. The first
question you should have put to your
self is, which one Of these three has
the character in which turks the pos
sibility of throwing that bomb. Let
us in fact begin the inquiry now.
You have seen them all, while Inever
even heard of any of them before.
Now tell me if you think the boy
could be guilty?"
Him? Hardly" the detective grunt-
ed. HE wouldn't be likely to bust
his own face all up. Besides, the
money was for him, anyway. 1t would
be only stealing from himself, for he'd
have it in day or two. And on
top of that, he didn't even know that
his father had the stuff, and was all
broke up because he couldn't go to
college and be priest"
Very good" smiled the doctor.
Facts. facts, facts, and never a word
OF character! l fear you are incor-
rigible. However, so much for the
boy-he's obliterated. Now, how
about Tony? Did he really wish the
boy to have all that money? Could
he afford to let him take it? Did
you inquire into his business, in or
der to. find If he happened to be des-
perately pressed for money just now,
as most men are sometimes?"
Birsch appeared uncomfortable.
Il see that this phase also never
occurred to you," DR.. Furnivall said,
dryly. STILL" he went on, leaving
that out for the present, could Tony
commit such an atrocity for any rea-
son whatever? 1t requires certain
qualities to carry out a project of
that nature, and has Tony these quail
| ities?"
"Why. anyway" the detective ex-
claimed, ut was Tony himself who
brought US the Black Hand letter and
told us about it, asking us to send
men to protect him. He wouldn't do
that, would he, if he had this thing
up his sleeve? Besides, he's scared
blue. / never saw anybody before
frightened clean in to his marrow, the
way he was last night. He hasn't

the brains, or the spunk, either, to fix
up such a plant and get up at two
o'clock in the morning and throw q
bomb into his own sons room. Bosh!
The notion is ridiculous" The detec-
tive shifted in contempt.
well, you are improving" the doc
tor grinned you do finally glance,
if ever so slightly, at character in this
instance. And you put Tony out of
it. Now we have left only the moth
err" The doctor proceeded imper-
turbably in the face of his listeners
look of incredulity and downright dis
gust. Had the mother any reason,
could she have any reason for doing
such a thing, and if so, has she the
qualities necessary to the carrying
out of so bold plan?"
81 don't see what you're getting at,
growled Birsch, land it don't seem to
me there's any sense in this kind OF
business, guessing at all these things,
and wondering which one of 'em done
it. None of 'em done it.. Somebody
else done it, and if you know who it
is, which doubt, tell me, and I'll go
and nab him.
"Now," the doctor continued, as If
the other had remained dumb, you
have practically eliminated the three
who were the only persons in a posi-.
ton, physically speaking, to do this
thing, and that settles the matter,
with you, as far as they are con.
cerned. You would take your oath,
wouldn't you, that neither one of
these persons is, or reasonably could
be, the culprit?"
The detective eyed the doctor dog
gedly.
YES" he replied, shortly. Keep
up your jollying if it does you any
good, but I'd go my oath on these peo.
pie, just the same, and l guess you
would yourself. 1t amt in any sort
of reason that one of them done it.

stairs sees nothing of any person of
the kind"
For the third time the detective
paused meaningly. DR.. Furnivall
laughed and stroked his beard.
II see," he said. Murphy let the
bomb-man in and out That's why
he didn't see him!"
The detective appeared gratified at
this evidence Of perspicacity on DR..
F'urnivall's part. But only for mo-
ment. Then he searched the bearded
face with his eyes. He did not like
the tone of that laugh.
There's no other way out of tt"
he began.
Il could give you six different ways
out of it," the doctor interrupted.
But the one in which it really hap
pened will do. / suppose you have
come to ask me to hypnotic Murphy
and extract the truth from him-is
that it,"
The detective flushed and gnawed
his lip.
YES" he answered, shortly.

The doctor looked at the detective,
whose face was blank, and then said
to the maid:
Explain that to Mike and let him
deliver it. Tell him to hurry. Now"
he continued briskly to the detective,
