All the circumstances attendant on

the boy on the lawn and the disap-
pearing of the bank in the house-the
more l became convinced that no out
slider had done this crime. It looked
more and more like the work of some
one who had been friendly with the

puLITzER's HOUR OF EASE
Whim Of Great Journalist Had tn Be
scrupuiousIy Observed by His
Attendants.

After lunch the late Joseph Pulitzer
always retired to his cabin for sizes
ia. I use the word 'siesta," but, as q
matter Of fact. 1t is quite Inadequate
to describe the peculiar function or
ceremony for which l have chosen 1t
as label.
What took place on these occasions
was this: Mr.. Pulitzer lay down on his
bed. sometimes in pajamas. but more
often with only his coat and his boots
removed, and one of his secretaries,
usually the German secretary. sat
down In an armchair at the bedside
with pile of books at his elbow. At
word from Mr.. Pulitzer the secrs-
tary began to read in clear. incisive
voice some historical work-Sueton-
fuss Lives" Green's History" Ma
caulay's "Essays"-or some German
play or novel.
After few minutes Mr.. Pulitzer
would say, Softly" and the secre-
tary's voice was lowered until, though
1t was still perfectly audible. 1t as
sumed q monotonous and soothing
quality. After a while the order came.
Quite softly" At this point the read
er ceased to form his words and COM
menced to murmur fndistinctly. CIV
ing an effect such as might be pro-
duced by person reading aloud in an
adjoining room. but with the conuect-
ing door closed.
II. after ten minutes of this muir
muring. Mr.. Pulitzer remained mo-
tionless. It was to bs assumed that
he was asleep. and the secretary's
duty was to 90 on murmuring until
Mr.. Pulitzer awoks and told him to
stop or to commence actual reading
again. This murmuring might last for
two hour. and It was q very dinicult
art to acquire. for 1t the slightest
change in the pitch Of the voics. At .

To eliminate the innocent ones, and

and myself.
At the end Of two weeks work we
were exactly where we had started.
Not one Of the eleven people on the
Bauder poolroom had shown a sign
whereby he might suspect their con-
nection with the crime: not one OF
them but seemed heart-broken and
enraged over the fate of their erst-
while playmate.

hunch," said Clutter at the end Of the
two weeks.
