The Oregonian and other moss
back organs knock every proposition
to create a new county. That is
what has held Oregon back for fifty
years. 1t is narrow-minded SELFISH
ness. If the people of any section
have the population and the terri
tory and are willing to tax them
selves, for Gods sake let them
create new county and help them to
do it instead Of kicking them down
for their enterprise.

speak another word that my word sug-
gests. For example. IL l say tree you
might say garden;' IL say house
you might say chair. OF course you
are free to say any word you please,
but you will ind yourself irresistibly
drawn toward certain ones according
as you are innocent or guilty.
For instance. Martinez. the Span
lard. was widely known as a billiard
player. Now. If should say billiard
player and you had no personal feel
ing about Martinez you might easily,
by association of ideas, say Span
lard but If you had killed Martinez
and wished to conceal your crime
then when ! said billiard player you
would not say 'Spaniard,' but would
choose some innocent word like table
or chalk. That is crude illustration,
but 1t may give you the idea"
"And is that alp asked Groener, in
evident relief.
'No, There is also the time taken
in choosing a word. II l say pen or

ters Of a second to answer ink or

whose mind acts slowly a second and
a quarter or even more for his reply.
Each person has his or her average
time for the thought process, some
longer. some shorter. But that time
process is always heightened after one
of the critical or emotional words-I
mean If the person is guilty. Thus
If say 'Ansonia' to you and you. are
the murderer of Martinez 1t will take
you one or two or three seconds longer
to decide upon a safe answering word
than it would have taken If you were

"Do you really think" Groener asked
presently, that If were guilty of this

"I'm sure you could not"
"Then If | stood the test you would

Synopsis Of Previous Chapters.
Paul Coquenil, famous French de-
tective, meets a mysterious young
girl selling candles in Notre Dame
cathedral. The girl, Alice, loves an
American, Lloyd Kittredge.-Co-
Quenil believes a great crime is
about to be committed, and present
ly 1t occurs. He has strange pre-
sentiment of danger.-A man is
found murdered in a restaurant. He
is recognized as Martinez, we'll
known throughout all Paris as a bill
lizard player.
Lloyd Kittredge is suspected OF
having murdered the billiard player
He is arrested at Alice's home and
put in prison.
Coquenil starts to solve the case.
He DISCOVERIES the identity of wo-
man known to have been with Mar
tinez when murdered.
The murderer's pistol is found
CoQuenil puts his dog Caesar on the
trail and interviews M. Gritz, Pro-
prietor of the restaurant, Where the
crime had taken place. Coquenil
discovers two auger holes in the
wall in the private dining room
where Martinez was killed. They
lead into another private dining
room, which he visits.
He shows Papa Tignol that the
bullet came through one of the
holes. A mysterious stranger over
powers Coquenil and robs him of
valuable clew he had got.
He shows Papa Tignol that the
bullet came through one of the holes.
A mysterious stranger overpowers
Coquenil and robs him of valuable
clew he had got.
Detective Gebelin, Coquenil's rival,
discovers valuable clews. Circum-
stantial evidence thickens about
young Kittridge.
Coquenil cross examines an Amer
ican woman, Mrs. Wilmott, as to her
past relations with the prisoner,
Kittredge. He and Martinez, she
said, had had a serious quarrel over
Alice. Coquenil begins to demon
strate that Kittredge is innocent.
Coquenil is dismissed from the case
by an order from a man "higher
up" He continues to work as a
private individual He proves that
the assassin had a "long little fin
ger" and that Alice knows him.
Coquelin's man hunting dog is shot
by a wealthy man in forest. Co.
quenil traces Alice's past in Brus-
sells and learns much.
Coquelin suspects as the murderer
a man posing as wood carver and
as Alice's uncle from Belgium. Co.
quenil arrests the woodcarver after
hard fighting.
On the prisoners right leg is
found mark made by Coquenil in
a street fight with strange man,
who made his escape.
The prisoner, Groener, is exam

That's II. only have a watch that

The magistrates face hardened. 'Tf

Groener:" he asked sharply.
After ALL" Groener said carelessly,
what does 1t matter? Go ahead with
your little game. 1t rather amuses me-"
The test began, Hauteville speaking
the prepared words and handling the
stop watch. while Coquenil, sitting be-
side him. wrote down the answered
words and the precise time intervals.
First they established Groener's ay-
erage or normal time of reply when
there was no emotion or mental eff
fort involved. The judge said milk
and Groener at once by association Of
ideas said cream" the judge said
smoke" Groener replied fire" the
Iudee said early" Groener said
'late:" the Judge said water" Gros-
0er answered river the judge said
'Tobucco." GrOener answered pipe"
AID the intervals varied from four
dsths of second to second and
dfth. which was taken AS the prison
er's average time for the untroubled
thought process.
