Law of Attraction.

The attractions of men to women
and women to men are full Of the
most perplexing inconsistencies and
contradictions imaginable. 1t is, for
instance, a physical law that mag
netism is not simple attraction of one
thing for another. but the difference of
two opposing forces of attraction and
repulsion, of which the former is the
greater. The same law holds in reIa-

men for each other, in which, as Il
rule, the masculine is the superior
force.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

If he had to choose he would identify
this man by his eyes rather than
Swartz by his mustache.
They look very much alike" be
said, and l had begun to think so.
too. though ut first l had no. seer the
resemblance. l made up my mind
that this was Swartz's brother. al
though both Swartz and the prisoner
denied it.
AT this stage of the investigation l
was switched to Il wholly new theory
by a discovery which was partly ac-
cidenta!. l learned that George Nc
Kellar had encountered some sort of
good fortune and had tided himself
over his difficulty. Where had he
got the money?
l asked myself this question and
set to work to find an answer. 1t
appeared that he must have raised
about 100000. which could have been
done by selling the stolen diamonds.
But the money seemed to have come
from a loan by McKellar's bank. al
though he had already owed the bank
an uneasy sum.
1t was in the midst of the late
money stringency, and l could not
believe that the bank had obliged
him to that extent. Well, l had a
friend inside that bank. as | have in
some others, and / learned the facts.
A lady unknown to my friend and
without Mckellar'S knowledge had de-
posted $4,000 in cash to secure this
loan.
This must have been done by some
woman from whom Mcclellan would
not accept a loan, and it did not take
me long to work down to Sylvia Ohm
stead. But here l came upon a queer
thing. Miss Olmstead was worth
about $150,00O in her own right, but it
was chiefly in real estate and very
hard to realize money upon in a time
of panic-in fact. nearly impossible.
l learned that she had raised 100000
or Whereabouts by a great sacrifice, but
she had mo- succeeded until one week
after the $4,000 had been put into
McKellar's bank.
There was no way by which she
could have got the money unless she
had stolen the jewels from her brother.
But how had she opened the caSket?
Did she know the secret? In order
to test her / arranged a little comedy.
1 told one Of my assistants how the
box could be opened in order that he
might be able to work with it clever
~ in Sylvia's presence while l watched
the girls face. Then we went to the
Olmsteads' and held a little session
with the brother and sister and Nc
Kellar.
l explained that it was absolutely
necessary for me to discover whether
a person could guess the trick of open
ing the box. My theories had ad-
vanced. l said. to the point where I
must have evidence as to the real diff
ficulty of the puzzle. Undoubtedly
the thief had been lurking outside the
window on the night of the robbery
and had seen the jewels put away. He
had stolen them in the casket. Could
he have got them out of it in a half
hours work?
:"Certainly not" said Olmstead.
"My friend here" said l. thinks he
can do the trick. and I'd like you to
try. Mr.. Mcclellan, and you also, Miss
Olmstead."
"Tll wager" said she, that can
open the box inside of fifteen min
utes."
"Nonsense." said her brother. but

In the possession of the Olmstead

quaint and curious than any other that

countercd some oddities in that line in
the course of nearly thirty years of
detective work. 1t was made of ebony
ornamented with silver and measured

were many peculiarities of the silver

be highly artistic, but the chief point
to be noted here is that the thing az.
