The "BlaCk Hand" at TOnv'S
By GEORGE F. BUTLER and HERBERT HSLEY
Dr. Furnivall in the Solution of Perplexing Case.

! notice, but he was leaking grit, just
the same, and managed to tell me all
he knew, which wasn't much. He
said that he woke up in the night
and saw person on the fire-escape
outside his window, and when he
asked who was there something struck
him in the head, and he fell out OF
bed unconscious. Tony and the old
woman heard the sound of feet run.
ming across the boys floor, heard the
door open and shut and the feet go
pattering down the stairs-just as
Finnegan says. And Murphy swears
nobody came down"
He paused again, regarding DR.. Fur
nivall earnestly, and again his listen
er smiled delightedly, but said moth
ing.
Now" Birsch continued, "the Sec
ond strange thing, or a bunch of
strange things, is that the boys win
dow was shut and fastened, the per-
son he saw was outside of it, the
bomb that person threw struck the
boy without breaking the glass. and
without the sash being raised, and
the mother and father heard some
body cross the room, open the door.
shut it, and skip downstairs. Finne-
gan saw this somebody, heard the
door open and shut, and saw and
heard the person going down the

stairs, but Murphy at the foot of these
/ stairs sees nothing of any person OF
the kind"
For the third time the detective
paused meaningly. Dr. Furnivall
laughed and stroked his beard
Il see," he said. Murphy let the
bomb-man in and out. That's why
he didn't see him!"
The detective appeared gratifed at
this evidence of perspicacity ON DR..
Furnivall'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 it,
he began.
I could give you six different ways
out of it" the doctor interrupted.
But the one in which it really hap
pened will do. I 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.
A0S' A0 duS"eFSu, SnOrIly.
DIR. FurniVall rang for maid. and
scribbling a note, passed it to her,
Read that aloud-all but the ad-
Dress" he said.
If you will come with the bearer
OF this note," the maid read, ".to my
office, you may save yourself some
trouble, and the humiliation of being
taken to the police station, instead
of here. DR.. Furniyall.'"
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,
you shall see the culprit and hear
his confession. have no time to
waste over this affair, and while we
are waiting We will improve the mo-
ments by sindulging in a word or two
of psychology. In the first place. YOU
should know that the proper method
of beginning the search for the perpe-
traitor of crime is to learn all the.

the brains, or the spunk, either, TO fiz
up such a plant and get up at two
o'clock in the morning and throw a
bomb into his own sons room. Bosh!
The notion is ridiculous" The detec
tive shifted in contempt.
We'll, 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 thing, and IL so, has she the
qualities necessary to the carrying
out of so bold a plan?"
Il 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

is, which I 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 / guess you
would yourself. It amt in any sort
of reason that one of them done it.
1t was the man outside on the fire.

facts chat you possibly can, and then
understand that you almost certainly
have not learned them all, and par
ticuIarly 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 a 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 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 go, have done the act, and
it seems as IL nobody else could. Not

| escape, and that skipped downstairs
or up, and that Finnegan and Murphy
and Tony and the old woman heard
and that Finnegan 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 un.
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
it 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 an
pearances, instead of character, with
the supericials as distinguished from
the realities. can even turn COM
pietely 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-psycho1-
ogy." Dr. Furniyall did not wish to
say brains" nor learning nor "in.
telligence," nor even training" SO
after some hesitation, he said "psy-
chology." And he continued: Now.

heard the story, / knew indubitabIy

forth the detective, involuntarily.

his own face all up. Besides, the
money was for him, anyway. It 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

Birsch appeared uncomfortable.

dryly. STILL" he went on. leaving
that out for the present, could Tony
commit such an atrocity for any rea-
son whatever? It requires certain

is doing all in his power to get the

Jus, as soon as the line can be
built, we will have connection with
Cayce, and via Cayce with Crutch-
field, Jordan, Columbus and Fulton,
besides connections in surrounding
counties. A committee OF Cayce
telephone men was in town Tuesday ,
and conferred with the local manage
ment in regard to the connection,
and il was agreed that each system
was 10 build half the distance.
We understand that another mu-

the Dyersburg road, and want con-
