A few minutes later Brenner came

with a little touch Of malice In his
tones. "A dozen detective patrolmen

the dye had been partly secured from
his face and hands. the manner in
which Crewe had discovered Jackson
remained as mysterious as ever.
1T is an extremely simple explanA-
tion," said Crewe to the three Of us.
do you remember that examined the
faxen hairs upon the brush under &

Brenner nodded his head.
You are. no doubt, aware that there
is q marked and distinctive difference
between q cross.section Of q negro's
hair and that Of Caucasian's! The
one is spherical, the other cylindrical.
This distinction is invariable. and Il

the naxen hair and the deathly pallor
and red eyes I knew the man imme-
diately. He Is an slbino negro, and
the only one in this city. Albinos are
occasionally met with among the ne
gro race. Tho condition is due to an
entire absence Of pigment in the skin.
II had, then, merely to search for
ono man out of four millions. I knew
him well by sight. recognized him in
the Rogues' Gallery. both as q white
man and as black. Although ne
gro cannot whiten himself, 1t Is the
easiest matter for person with .
white skin to become black. Walnut
Juice, for instance. will readily effect
this metamorphosis.
Posing as either white or black,
Jackson would live among either race
and, after the commission of>a crime.
would take up his residence among the
other. As . black man he was SEN
fenced for manslaughter; as a white
for burglary. You see now, gentle
men. why 1t was imperative that Jack

out Z boarding house where he could
exist In the comfort that he was accus-

ing Of the saloons would drive him to
take refuge at home through fear Of
chance questioning by the detectives.

should arrive. The blue glasses gave
me the clue; my recognition Of his
face was a practical certainty; my
happy application Of my patent scour-
ing fluid convinced me beyond all
doubt. As said, the discovery was
really too easy"
But how could you recognize .
white-feshed man when his face was
stained with dye!" asked Bremen.
Recognition is matter Of form,
not color" answered Crewe. "As q

REVIVAL OF FAMOUS FAIR
Students In Paris Parade on Ami.
versary Of the LendIt, Celebration
Of Centuries Ago.

American students must envy their
European brothers the excuses for
getting up celebrations and anniver-
saries. The students Of the univer-
sity Of Paris this year determined to
revive the famous fair Of the Lendit.
From the twelfth century to the
sixteenth, this annual fair, held in the
plain Of st. Denis, was the occasion
Of much festivity. The oficial con-
nection with the university was that
the whole student body, headed BY
the faculty and the rector. went In
procession to buy enough parchment
to last for the year.
It was hardly possible to carry out
the festival exactly. but at the close
Of the college year. one Saturday eve
ming. heralds, accompanied by torch
bearers and trumpeters, went through
the Latin quarter announcing the com.
ing pageant. And next afternoon q
fantastic procession started from tho
Pantheon.
First came a squad OF archers and
mounted trumpeters, then the herald
Of the city on foot. Behind him ap.
peared the rector of the university,
with a mounted man carrying his ban.

Normandy, each with Its band Of

was fun, 1t was correctly costumed.

Just then q negro man wearing blue
spectacles came slowly along the
street. He edged himself past Crewe
and made as though to pass up the
steps Of the boarding house. 1t seemed
almost opportune for Intervention. I
looked at Bennef. who stood stock
still, smiling, evidently not displeased
to see the impending demolition Of my
companion. Just then I saw Crewe
look back at me and give slight but
unmistakable nod of the head. l
grasped the bottle In my fingers and
hurried toward him.
Meanwhile Crewe had grasped the
inotfensive negro by the lapel Of the
coat.
What you doin' here. you nigger!"
he growled. Want to fight me, do
you?"
The negro tried to disengage himself
and. finding himself helpless. looked
protestingly toward the bystanders

Cries arose among the spectators.
Half q dozen stepped forward. pre-
pared to lay hands upon Grove vio-

away from the negro's face expressions
Of establishment were heard and all

to the crowd. They bolted In terror.
But even as Crewe laid his hand upon
