PROLOGUE

When Il murder is committed
there is invariably a motive.
Sometimes it is Obvious; some
times its presence is masked be-
hind a complesity of possibizi-
ties until it is we'll nigh impos-
sible to di~sentangle the slender
skein of fact from the warp and
roof o probability. But always
Nhe motive is there. Look for
the woman," said Pere Tabaret,
the French detective, and in her
you will find the solution of your
mystery---D you find her." And
in the main he was right. Yet it
is not always the Obvious woman
nor the Obvious motive that is
responsible for a crime. Some
times the underlying cause rests
on deeper reasons than are ap-
parent even to the closest OBJ
serper: Then only an accident
can give q clew to the real GRIM
fnol. And so it is with 1.-The

BILE means of Identification.
You probably know that while our
finger tips, with their countless fine
%concentric circles and ovals and
sweeping lines. all appear about the
same, no two are identical. In the
various police bureaus Of the civilized
nations there are 10Y thousands of the
ilnprints Of the finger prints Of con-
victed men, and thousands are added
yearly. Yet of all that vast number
no two are alike.
When made accidentally, on furniture
or glass, for instance, these marks are
practically invisible to the naked eye.
but when the suspected object is treated
to q bath of fine light dust they come
out all a dull gray against the back
