They had behaved fairly we'll toward

PREVENT PIGEON FLY

Although 800 pigeons owned by the pia-
mond State Homing Club were sent to
Washington last night TO be liberated
this morning on their first fly of the

not at all suited TO the fly. The club

the birds had not been started on the
long fly.
Next week the birds will be released
from Charlottesville, Va. 200 miles; the
following Saturday, from Rocky Mount,
Va. 800 miles and the last Saturday for
weekly files statesville, North Carolina,

Dr. Furnivall in the Solution of Perplexing Case

Il see," he said. Murphy let the
bomb-man in and out. That's why
he didn't see him."
The detective appeared gratified al
this evidence of perspicacity on DR.
Furnivalrs 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.
II 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.
YES" he answered, shortly.
DR.. Furnivall rang for maid, and
scribbling a note, passed it to her

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! I 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.
"Why, anyway" the detective ex-
claimed, 1T 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. l 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 a
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

turbably in the face of his listeners

man reach the fire-escape without
your knowledge, you being right I'M
der il; 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 1t 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 l 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 Gin
telligence," nor even training" so,
after some hesitation, he said "psy-
chology." And he continued: "Now,
the moment l saw this letter and
heard the story, knew indubitably
the guilty party"
"The-the nation you did," burst
forth the detective, involuntarily.

look of incredulity and downright dis
gust. Had the mother any reason,
could she have any reason for doing
such thing, and If so, has she the
qualities necessary to the carrying
out Of so bold plan?"
II don't see what you're getting at, !"
growled Birsch, "and 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 I doubt, tell me, and I'll go
and nab him."
"Now," the doctor continued, as 1t
the other had remained dumb, 'you
have practically eliminated the three
who were the only persons in 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?"

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. Furnivall.'"
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. l have no time to
waste over this affair, and while we
are waiting we will improve the mo-
ments by indulging in 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 a crime is to learn all the
facts that you possibly can, and then
understand that you almost certainly
have not learned them all, and par
ticularly 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
