~ HE next morning William Jarvis
had ceased to be a member of
the Philadelphia detective force.
He was in the employ Of Mr..
Robert Heath, the millionaire banker,
as a private detective, with an Office in
the bankers own house.
A handsome desk with his own tele-
phone and all The appuTtcraECes Of a
fine office were already installed in
his room. He sat down to it with the
feeling that he really amounted to
something.
Not being a story book detective. but
a plain bull" just out Of the city force,
he did not attire himself in a bath
robe. get out an old pipe, pile a huGe
heap of loose 'shag' tobacco on a chair
and lie down with his eyes half shut

ity for getting at IL again.
Instead he sat in his shirt sleeves, bit
the end of a fair cigar. lighted the
same, took a pencil and a sheet Of pa
per and began to write
Putting rehectively for a moment, hC
put three figures in a row across tho
top Of the page Then he drew two
rough lines down il to divide il into
three sections under the three figures.
Under the figure one. he wrote, TO

Under that ne wrote simply out"
BY this he meant that. however mucl
proof there might be for the belle
that the anarchists had done the deed,

Under the second figure ne wrote

II had unquestionably provided the
criminal with a means Of getting away
into one Of the other cities already
taken up with their own troubles.
But one objection stood out badly
against this The bungling character
Of the work done was all against the
notion that it had been accomplished
by a crook Of any cleverness whatever
The knowledge Of police methods re-
quired for throwing the police Of pos
sible refuge cities into confusion over
a home crime was such as would belong
TO only an old hand at the cracksman's
game.
Such ignorance on the one hand, and
! Cleverness on the other. were utterly
incompatible so far as professional
J crooks were concerned
Still, there were two possibilities ir

An old detective gone wrong would

away.
